Dilber Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 "Three million for a galleon, and as for a crew, we don't sell human being. Unless the price is right of course." the Pope chuckled. "How much are you willing to pay?"*Private to Wanatet* Seems complex, but we can handle it. Send us some engineers and we'll provide the labor. Also, how much you will to pay? *End* "The Theocratic Bureaucracy will now be raising the price for galleons to five million dollars. All of those who haven't ordered yet, sorry." The Pope gave a look. The Galleon is enough. The crew of the DSS Manta Ray is ready to take control of the DSS Manta Ray Mk II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRCatD Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) **Private to Rebel Virginia** Engineers have been sent on an airplane to Norfolk International Airport. They will arrive later today. We will pay $200,000 for the installments, since we sent the engineers. On an additional note, let the captain of the Incapable pay for our galleon ($3 million). We'll just pay for the installments. Edited January 5, 2009 by XRCatD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirreille Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 While Ile de Noir officialy frowns on piracy and does not wish to encourage it in any way, the announcement of this race coincides with a surge of inmates in our labor camps, and to lighten the burden on the system Ile de Noir will purchase one of Rebel Virginia's fine vessels and will crew it entirely with both death row and life imprisionment convicts. These men and women have been instructed that if they survive the race they are free to go wherever they please, and if they win the race their criminal records will be erased, so they will have quite a bit of incentive to try. Due to the nature of our crew we request that Rebel Virginia turn over the weapons at the last possible moment. (Oh yes, we would like to outfit them with the same weapons as Rebel Virginia's entries, to keep things sporting. Please add the necessary charges to our bill) We wish it to be known to all nations that if these individuals decide to ignore the race and turn pirate for real you may cut them down like the dogs they are. ***Comm. below is not from the government*** NNS media sends a representative to Rebel Virginia to inquire as to whether they have an interest in selling the rights, or sharing same of televising the event in question. They tentatively have a series planned called Survivor: Pirates! , but negotiations with the Ile de Noir entry's crew have not been completed, as they have not been named yet.

Rebel Virginia Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 "Then we will need it built in a traditional British style, out of white oak, with dark colored sails. Ideally it would have thick, hemp rope, sales made from traditional canvas, metal trim on the outer walls, glass windows, and a brig, the brig is necessary, the sailors say that they can never sail without a urine soaked lunatic aboard." "How about we just paint a galleon and give it different colored sails and pretend it isn't a cookie cutter Rebel Virginian galleon? Now while we appreciate your interest in sailing ships, as we also have an interest, you must follow the rules. All galleons must be of the same frame so that no team will have an advantage over the others. Now, will you purchase the standard galleon or not? Because you're the only one making a fuss about this." scolded the Pope. Captain Ahab wishes for a galleon, seven crewmen and a chance to hunt for the white whale when this is over. "One galleon costs five million. Also, welcome to the great race." The Galleon is enough. The crew of the DSS Manta Ray is ready to take control of the DSS Manta Ray Mk II. "Very well then jolly gentleman. You shall have your galleon. Behold!" the Pope said while ushering to a galleon. **Private to Rebel Virginia**Engineers have been sent on an airplane to Norfolk International Airport. They will arrive later today. We will pay $200,000 for the installments, since we sent the engineers. On an additional note, let the captain of the Incapable pay for our galleon ($3 million). We'll just pay for the installments. "We don't care who pays so long as we get paid. Also, Galleons R Us thanks you for your interest in galleons." said the spokesperson of of Galleons R Us. She was later arrested for stealing the Pope's spotlight. ---- "To the Ile de Noir," the Pope explained. "We shall respect your wishes. You shall have your galleon and it will be armed at the last possible moment. And thank you for participating in the great race." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dossier note goes out to RV. "What were the ships names you sold to us again so we can put it in our announcement?" OOC: You name them yourselves. Also, you're only allowed to enter one crew in this (unless Shan says otherwise). Also, the three I sent you can't participate in this race. However, you ordered a lot, so I'll take one of the twenty for this race and give it to you. You can crew it for this race. IC: "Due to the Dragon Empire's previous order of galleons, they may take one of the galleons we made for this race, free of charge, and man it with the best men you have. Arm it as you desire. However, we must ask you to only enter one team, unless Naboo says otherwise that is." "Yes, we will be purchasing one, minor changes will be made to the ship on their arrival to fit their needs. They will bring their own raving lunatic." "Splendid. That will be five million dollars." the Pope said giddily.

Rebel Virginia Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 The crew of the TIS Jihad has arrived in Philadelphia and awaits the completion of their galleon. $3 million has already been wired to the Treasury of Rebel Virginia. "We thank you for your money. Also, your galleon is in Norfolk, Virginia, so we'll send a bus to pick up your crew." said the Pope. "The Commonwealth thanks you and will wire you approximately $150,000,000." "I think we have a new winner!" the Pope excitedly screamed while jumping up and down. He knew the revenue would be coming in now. "In light of this latest price, galleons shall now cost one hundred and fifty million dollars!" A Dispatch From the Emperor:We would like to inquire if we can field a Chinese junk of similar size for the event? "If the Omniscient Empire of Naboo has no issue with it, neither do we." stated the Pope. Rockport would like to enter our own race-built galleon, built on the basis of the HMS Triumph as rebuilt 1589-99, named the "The Triumph of Nautilus." "Again, it will be up to Naboo to decide."

KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 The Marscurian Empire wishes to know if we can enter a Dhow in the race. It is a large ship, pretty close to the size of a galleon. It was the winner of our annual Round-The-Islands regatta for the largest class. When it came time for the drag, only 3 out of the 150 left without hernias, so I don't think size is an issue. The speed is also fair, as the ship was only clocked at a maximum 9 knots, so it doesn't have any advantage over other galleons. Here is a picture of the Dhow, the Minneapolis Speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahsir Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) Unforunately due to the drain of funds, by our trade deal with Rebel Virgina, Dranagg cannot spare any frivilous external spending for quite some time. However, drunken crewmembers can be provided for those needing them. Edited January 5, 2009 by Tahsir Re Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shan Revan Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 The junk is acceptable, as is the razee galleon. Unfortuantely the Dhow doesn't look piratey enough, spruce it up a tad and it will get the seal of approval. Also we ask Rebel Virginia to keep the base cost under 10mil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
