Seerow Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) By now everybody on Bob knows all about the attack on UPN by NG. NG requested an entirely reasonable amount of reparations for two attacked nations, that was more or less equal to the value of what was destroyed. UPN declined, offered to pay 1/10th of the amount, and got attacked. Now since then, we have had several members of Polaris pledge to pay the money for UPN, if it stops the war. Personally? I'm not in NG, and have almost no contact with anyone there, so I don't know what they want. I also have no real cause to love UPN, and am just as happy to see them rolled. But, this pledging of money to save another alliance intrigues me, so here we are. I am starting a list right now of everyone who is willing to pledge to pay money to NG/their protectorates, to save UPN. I am sure whenever the pledges hit whatever arbitrary amount NG wants, they will stop and collect on the money. So let's see how high we can get the pledges to go? Right now we have the following pledges: Total-[b]168mil[/b] Donation Pledges: 105mil AlmightyGrub-30mil D34th-30mil brokenhead-30mil Feanor Noldorin-9mil The Big Bad - 3mil Unknown Smurf -3mil (4.5mil if nation has a FAC) Pledges Contingent upon Calendar Completion: 63mil Mathias-3mil Tamerlane-3mil Captain Spock-9mil Seerow-9mil sir pwnage-12mil Eumirbago - 3mil King Ernie - 3mil rtellez06 - 12mil KodaHack-6mil Ch33kY-3mil NG Pledges to UPN for a Calendar: [b]21mil[/b] Erwin Schrodinger-3mil ALFERALFER-18mil (note: Wants someone to hit him up to 7mil casualties) Remember, all monetary pledges must be made in increments of 3mil, or 50 tech. I will continue to update this post with any further pledges. Let's see how much money Bob is willing to raise to save UPN.

Seerow Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) [quote name='NeCoHo' timestamp='1317310344' post='2811708'] I'll pledge negative 90 million dollars. [/quote] I'm sorry, negative amounts are not available for bidding at this time. We cannot allow outside alliances to profit from this venture. All procedes go directly to NG for the saving of UPN. [quote]I pledge 1 Legion. You may value that as you wish. [/quote] An interesting pledge. I take this to mean you will convince Legion to pay 15,000,000 per member. At 244 nations that is a whopping pledge of 3.66billion. Unfortunately, I cannot accept this pledge at this time, as at the moment pledges are only accepted from individuals. Should we open up alliance wide pledges, I will be sure to include this generous offer. Edited September 29, 2011 by Seerow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
