do you have anything of a more recent timeline for my people (around 2010) or is that were you are?

I don't have ubertech, if that's what you mean. I'm not that fururetechy, no gravtech or phasers. I don't think that it would be godmoddy to buy one or two (or a BUNCH) of these for interplanetary trade.

20 Million for the 5 Non Hyperdrive equipped Passenger Liners Mk II.

Perhaps, we could trade Tea, Lutes, Games, or Flags instead of payment, or in place of some of that payment. We currently export those things.

We hope our bid will go through.
Independant Pluto
18-10-2003, 02:21
20 million each, or for all 5?
Independant Pluto
18-10-2003, 02:22
And could you tell more about the trade goods?
18-10-2003, 02:23
For all five, if at all possible. If not, may we revise our bid? And, below, is quoted our storefront.


Prices have been converted to the commonly used "United States Dollar" format from the normal Tirlidan Value-Strip.

Tirlidan Tea

This soothing herbal tea will calm your nerves, along with its delectable taste comparable to Terran Green Tea.

Available in Decaf.

COST: $10 Per Bag (Interstellar shipping is pricy, no?). $9 if more than five bags are ordered.

Tirlidan Lute

This musical instument is easy to play, and comes with a free instruction book.

COST: $120

http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/new/Nunez-1S.gif

Tirlidan Feff Mov Game

Includes all 90 pieces, playing board, instuction manual, and a DVD documentary on the rich history of the game.

COST: $80

Tirlidan Flag

http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/tirlida.jpg

The triangles symbolize equality, patriotism, and strength. The green circle symbolizes Tirilda Prime. The black symbolizes space, and the light blue border symbolizes the new frontiers we must cross out in space.

COST: $50


We hope these will help you appreciate the cultural heritage of the Tirildan species, and make some money to allow the government to accelerate the acquisition of a starfleet.

100,000 bags of tea could replace 1 million dollars of the price. I fear that you may have to revise your bid, though an incremental payment plan would be fine.
18-10-2003, 02:56
How about ten million for each?
Independant Pluto
18-10-2003, 03:00
Bid accepted, but I'll wait to see if I get a better offer. You'll probably get them though.
18-10-2003, 03:01
Yes, we are looking for a low-cost way to provide a minimal defense for our planet until we can get a better spacefleet, and believe that these, with lasers and missiles, should help us hold our own if attacked.
Independant Pluto
18-10-2003, 03:08
But you see, they're armed for defense, just a few laser cannons. We may be selling actual military vessels soon, though. Yes, you ought to be able to use them to blow a few things up.
18-10-2003, 03:25
Oh, we are in very detailed and complex negotiations with some other non-human species that are expected to take quite some time to purchase adequete vessels. Until then, these are just to provide a last-ditch defensive measure if, for some reason, someone decides to attack us.
Soviet Bloc
18-10-2003, 03:25
I'll raise to 30 millio USD.
18-10-2003, 03:28
30.5 Million. What use would a more developed nation, such as yourself, have for sublight vessels armed only with lasers and missiles?
Independant Pluto
18-10-2003, 03:29
I'll raise to 30 millio USD.

SOLD! It's gonna be shipped as soon as the money's wired.
18-10-2003, 03:30
Wait! We raised .5 Million... Care to accept that bid?

He only wants one. You don't even want what he does.
18-10-2003, 03:31
Okay, then our bid of 10 million on the other four stands.
