Amyante Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Reino shook his head, raising a hand in protest. R - "For honesty's sake, i would have to object to that conclusion. While 9% is obviously larger than 2%, it should be mentioned that the 2% we have mentioned does not include inflation. Assuming an inflation rate between 1% and 3%* we estimate actual interest rates to lie between 2,5% and 5,5%. We do not know if Minilla's 9% is already corrected for inflation as we do not have those figures available." * OOC: took the Eurozone average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minilla Island Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Ianelli looked on in a bit of disbelief, "We appreciate the Queen's offer to loan us the cash. However, we have the money earmarked for this project. Our years of self-sufficiency have allowed us to build a massive surplus to do projects like this. We offered the loans to you guys because we thought that you did not have the money. At least we understood Selenarctos didn't. But, getting back to the Authority set-up: What the Authority would do is, not only perform basic maintenance, but would also use the toll money for needed enhancements. By requiring that they do not show a profit, whatever moneys is left after expenses would be split in the manner we proposed." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minilla Island Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Ianelli sips his coffee amd explains to the Selenarctos leader, "Well, we were envisioning a 17 member board. 8 Appointed by Minilla Island, 4 each by Singacorp and Selenarctos, and one neutral who will serve as Chair."

iKrolm Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) OOC: Sorry, been sick. IC: Even adjusted for inflation, the Zargathian interest rate is favorable. For the tunnels' entrance and exit point plus associated train yard, we can lease the majority of the peninsular region southwest of Tuas to the Tunnel Authority as well land to connect to the Interasia Rail Line.

Amyante Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 "Overall, we have no objections to the proposed member board, though we are a bit uncertain as to how the Chair would be elected. Would he rotate between Minilla, Singacorp and Selenarctos?" "Also, about the trains. Would they be using diesel, gas, electrical or hybrid engines?"

This would work for us. We would also be offering a similar setup on the Southern end by the Sunda Strait regarding a train yard. As far as the consists, we were talking electrical as the primary, with hybrids and diesels for backup and switching/freight tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKrolm Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) OOC: Someone want to draft a Tunnel Authority Charter or something to sign? Edited December 27, 2009 by iKrolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minilla Island Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 OOC: I will need help in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amyante Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 "Very well. The Zargathian trains run on electricity without a reliance on third rails or overhead lines, and as such they would be able to reach the other end of the tunnel even in the case of massive power failures. Given Zargathia's environmental policy, we would be able to lease these trains to you at no additional cost as far as these tunnels are concerned, yet any additional trains for national use will need to be charged for i'm afraid." OOC: And as for the draft, i have no idea. I'm basically supplying the trains if necessary, but as far as tunnel authority is concerned i'm not really a party since it doesn't run over my land. I suggest having the charter include a board that is in charge of maintenance and international legislation, and any maintenance Singacorp would need to perform would answer to the board in turn.

OOC: Indeed. Singacorp would be in charge of construction, and the Authority would be in charge of managing the tunnels. Singacorp would still be the one performing maintenance, but will need to defer to the Authority as it would be one of the Authority's tasks.
