Some semi IC, semi OOC Comments first:
We use and sell things who technology level ranges from 2003-2050. We're sort of just-before-"space tech." We even have three space cruisers, but without FTL drive and on the smallish size. You should be able to use all of these things in a near-future tech RP. The quantum computers are probaly the most sophisticated things, probaly just around the 2050 level. The next down (some would say tied, or more advanced) are the maglev tanks, which run on an in-character technology called Quantum Reactors. In a process similar in effect (but not in process) to fission, but producing no nuclear waste, able to run on any matter, and producing slightly more power in a much more compact frame, the strong nuclear force (the quality of matter that holds atoms together) is slowly leached out of matter fed into the reactor (certain elements work better than others. Typically, the higher the atomic mass, the better.) The strong nuclear force then is used to turn a series of turbines on the nanoengineering scale (The only real nano-tech we currently have). Next would probaly be the battlesuits, which are slated for real-life integration into the armed forces in the year 2025. The lowest tech you probaly will find is under the military clothing section.

FIST

This software is strictly military. FIST stands for Feline Intelligence Software Technology. It provides complete and total information synchronization among all units equipped with it. It heuristically adapts itself to your equipment, battlefield conditions, tactical and strategic doctrine, and the individual soldier's style. It incorporates command and control, point-and-touch/click command interfaces.

It is the most sophisticated system in use today... anywhere. Most nations can only buy the Export version (E-FIST), although trusted allies (Read: UNAOTO Members) can buy the individual versions, that all synchronize together through C-FIST. The desired version of FIST must be bought for each unit to use it. While it does not take a lot of money to produce, we seek to limit the proliferation, hence the high prices. FIST is already installed on battlesuits and tanks.

Technologies

Quantum Pingers

Fire special particles, energy waves, etc. at objects to determine a wide range of data- an advanced sensor suite. Approximate year tech level: 2040-2050s.

Price for technology is negotiable. Package includes working model of both power levels, plans for the technology, theoretical models, and a e-book you can distribute as much as you wish within your country only that serves as an engineering textbook for the technology.

Magnetic Levitation

Advanced electromagnets use the large mass of the NationStates world to either (in the case of "ground" vehicles, like the tanks below) levitate a few meters off the ground, or in the case of aircraft with more powerful electromagnets, cause lift. Approximate year tech level: 2020-2040s.

Price for technology is negotiable. Package includes working model of both power levels, plans for the technology, theoretical models, and a e-book you can distribute as much as you wish within your country only that serves as an engineering textbook for the technology.

Quantum Reactors

In a process similar in effect (but not in process) to fission, but producing no nuclear waste, able to run on any matter, and producing slightly more power in a much more compact frame (At a minimum, a cube 1.5 meters for dimensions). The strong nuclear force (the quality of matter that holds atoms together) is slowly leached out of matter fed into the reactor (Certain elements work better than others. Typically, the higher the atomic mass, the better.) The strong nuclear force then is directed to turn a series of turbines on the nanoengineering scale. Approximate year tech level: 2050s.

HyperJet

Used for propulsion of most of our vehicles. These improvements on turbojets use magnetic fields to manipulate the air inside, which means that these offer more thrust, can vector the thrust out the front or back in a conical range of 1 degree to 89 degree angles. Also, thrust is enhanced by Temperature Flux Energizers, devices which vary the internal temperature in varying parts of the stream to make the thrust react better with the surrounding air.

Ionised Beam Weapons

These ionise the air with two ultraviolet lasers, allowing electricty to pass through. Works like a very long range taser with more flexibility. Have multiple stun settings, and a kill setting. Also can short-circut electronics on metal vehicles. All come with production rights to the powerpacks, put in like a normal magazine. Pictures of the humanoid version are shown, but a version for any species is available upon request. We have machines that convert, based on blueprints and schematics of the firearm version and the Ionised Beam Weapon version, a firearm to an Ionised Beam Weapon. We use conversions as the primary weapons for our military. We only produce a few models (which are not for sale) of purpose-designed ionised beam weapons.

P-99 Conversion

A modified Walther P-99 serves and ionised beam pistol.

Has ten pre-set settings.

Battlesuits

Battlesuits are air-proof uniforms designed to improve the way a soldier functions in the field. They incorporate minimal weaponry. All of ours are tightly woven out of carbon nanotubes, thin fibers made out of buckminsterfullerene, a form of carbon and the strongest material known. All are equipped with E-FIST, or G-FIST for trusted allies. Ours are the first, and the best, in NationStates!

Light Battlesuits

(OOC: Read this article:

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/armysoldierofthefuture_010626.html

What we use is detailed in the first section, minus the "chameleonic camouflage." There was a Popular Science article in the July 2000 issue that detailed it down to the individual components. It is expected to fully enter service with the real life US Army around 2025. They are not exactly the same, but the general concept is.)

Regarding your desktop computer:
Does the computer have a SATA contorller? Also, is the memory controller on the motherboard or the CPU?

Yes, our computer has pretty much every acessory imaginable (So no one else has any reason to ask in the future.)

The memory controller is on the motherboard to allow it to be more easily swapped out if it needs upgrading or replacing.

We would like to place an order of 3,000 Light Battle Suits at the moment.

-- Lucius Marcus

OOC: Nothing ionized please.

OOC: Okay, we'll remove the ionised beam weapon mounted on it. Are you sure though?
IC: Order Confirmed.

THE DICTATORSHIP OF DOLNER ISLAND:
We would like an immediate order of all of your items. We need about 100,000 of each.
We are willing to pay 25 Billion Dalners(our currency)for everything we have asked and are willing to pay more.
There will be civil unrest now that we have converted to dictatorship and we need as much protection from rioters throwing objects at us.

OOC: That comes to 5,394,500,000 Paw Marks, which is 10,789,000,000 Dollars, which is too much for you. I'll check before sending hte order.

According to a table based on your economy that gives an approxamate figure for the average monthly income of your citizens, multiplied by your population, and then by your tax rate, your government takes in $3,520,000,000 monthly. According to your nation profile, defense is not a budget priority for you. So, you can't afford this as one lump sum. We could work out a payment plan though.

We'll just print out some more money.
You'll get it all.
Don't worry. We're dictators we can do what we want!!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some punks outside my office to throw in jail.
-A Message from Grand Emperior Millington.-

Wait, you're the one in civil unrest... okay. How about you pay what you can now, and you pay the rest back as you can, as sort of a loan aid package?

And by the way, they will be sent to pro-democracy rebels. :twisted:

We would like to purchase:
5 x Converted SA80 @ $4000 PM (~$8000 USD)

Total: $40'000 USD

Money wired.

Ministry of Defense
Evaluation and Testing Department

Renard: Order Confirmed. We hope you will find them satisfactory. They can shoot until the curvature of the Earth, although accuracy is decreased because the ionised air spreads out more as it travels longer. (The one thing I forgot to mention.)

Don't worry about it.
We already threw half the rioters in jail.
Our civil unrest has become now a minor-civil disruption.
Besides we don't print our money on land. That is printed at a smaller off-shore island.

OOC: So is the dictator in power, or not? And if so, is this a pro-democracy rebel movement buying, or the dictator?

The Dictator is buying. We already threw the pro-democracy people in jail.

As said above:

We will not sell to dictatorships outside the UNAOTO.

YOU WILL REGRET THIS!!!

Feline, how much "ammunition" (energy buffer capacity) are in the
P-99, M-16 and P-90?

Dolner Island: Not likely. We have over one billion citizens, and a frightening economy. You have 8 million citizens, and a very strong economy. In other words, we could destroy you without batting an eye. But, we're not going to, unless you attack us first.

Adejaani: It depends on how much electricity you put into each shot, but I would guess around the same amount the actual gun itself can carry (I use that myself, so...) But, they're nothing preventing you from developing your own powerpacks for them, that could hold as much as you want (of course, they would have to be larger.).

bump

Feline: Most fascinating. What about the range? It's because I use the M-16 still, because of its longer range and accuracy, while the P-90 is used for close in assaults (urban warfare, say).

For now, we'll purchase 100 of each of P-99, M-16, P-90 and also a hundred Heavy Battlesuits. How much is that in US Dollars?

OOC: EDIT: I figured the price. It is posted IC below.

As for the range, it is theoretically until it hits the curvature of the Earth, but the accuracy would probaly signifigantly drop off at some point. I don't really know hard technical specs on Ionised Beam Weapons... I read an article a few years back on a website that unfortunately went under about how they were in development. I remember the basic operating principle, and that currently they have backpack sized units, but that it was expected to go down in size as they develop more efficient power storage technologies.

IC: Your order is being shipped. It comes to 1,500,000 Paw Marks, or 3,000,000 United States Dollars.

3 million US dollars wired. If tests work out, I'll be back to buy a lot more. Thanks!

bump

OOC: Okay, we'll remove the ionised beam weapon mounted on it. Are you sure though?
IC: Order Confirmed.OOC: Yeah, we're mostly Halo technology, sooo it's a bit too advanced for us.

IC: Aye, we thank thou for confirming our order. We look forward to purchasing more light battle suits in the future.

Lucius Marcus
-The Trojan Empire-

Dear Feline. Subsequent to testing and indigenous modifications, we would like to place the following order:

5 million P-99
10 million P-90
2 million Heavy battlesuits

Once you submit the price in US dollars, the money can start rolling in. :D

We're sorry, Adejaani, but we just found out: You are a dicatorship. And we don't sell to dicatorships outside the UNAOTO. We're really sorry, but our ethical trade policies forbid it.

bump

30'000 Battlesuit (15'000 light, 15'000 heavy)

20'000 Ionised Beam Weapon OICW

10'000 P90 Conversion


"Money wires upon receival"

That would come to 488000000 paw marks, which is 976,000,000 USD, which is too much for you to buy right now. How about we work out a payment plan?

That would come to 488000000 paw marks, which is 976,000,000 USD, which is too much for you to buy right now. How about we work out a payment plan?

Let's work it out what plan do you offer?

How about you pay 1/15 now, and pay the rest in installments of 1/15 for fifteen years? That will mean payments of $65,066,666.67 per year.

The Great Empire of Dauragons would be pleased to buy
10'000 Ionised Beam Weapon OICW (75'000'000 Paw marks
8000 Heavy battlesuits (96'000'000 Paw mark

171'000'000 Paw marks in total

342'000'000 U$D

money wires when received.

Again, we do not sell to dictatorships that are not members of the UNAOTO. Sorry.

Agreed.

http://www.dexray.com/mission/img/handshake.jpg

Again, we do not sell to dictatorships that are not members of the UNAOTO. Sorry.

What does this mean? I demand a justification.

We are a member of the United Nationstates Anti Opression and Tyranny Organization, or UNAOTO. There are some dicatorships in there, whom we must consider allies, since they are members of the UNAOTO. Our ethical trading policies do not allow us to sell to dicatorships, unless they have "ally" status.

We're sorry, Adejaani, but we just found out: You are a dicatorship. And we don't sell to dicatorships outside the UNAOTO. We're really sorry, but our ethical trade policies forbid it.

Ahem. Despite the UN Category (which, by the way, is faulty as it has never accurately reflected), we're not. We're a Communistic Militaristic Democracy. :roll:

But it's your choice to not to business.

EDIT: I should also ask what you base this "Dictatorshipness" on. We hold elections in our country (it's rather much like America, only the Executive branch has far more autonomy and powers than America). It's just "convenient" that everybody loves the government so much they barely change. :roll:

We have never oppressed or done bad things to our citizens. Again, despite the nation's descriptors, our RP record has been honorable (if not always on time). We've never sought to conquer, only to stop conflicts.

I just fail to see how we could be branded a "Dictatorship".

If you do hold elections, then you are not a dictatorship. We apoligize for any misunderstanding, and send the goods, with a 1% Discretionary Discount in terms of the cost as a token of our apology.

Would you like to buy any of the goods from our four new categories?

It's alright about the misunderstanding. We're not a major player in NS, as far as things go, so it's perfectly fine.

We see your new products and, to foster..... Cooperation between our two nations, we'll buy some to keep things going. Our original order, with amendments now stands at:

5 million P-99
10 million P-90
2 million Heavy battlesuits
1 thousand Quantum workstations
1 thousand Cat OS (Q version)
1 thousand CatOffice (Q version)
1 million Mold-Mat (Full version)
2 million Neck Pillow
5 thousand Massage Chair

How much is that in US Dollars? I'm too tired to count. :oops:

OOC: I assume you mean Desktop Workstations, because you can't really fit a quantum computer on a desk. :) I'm also assuming you want the silicon computer based version of the programs, since I am assuming you want the silicon based Desktop Workstations.

IC:

That will be 35,203,022,500 Paw Marks, or 70,406,045,000.

They will be sent pending wiring of money.

OOC: Er, right!

IC: Amend that computer order then, to..... What's the new cost now?

1 thousand Quantum computers
5 thousand Silicon workstations
6 thousand Cat OS (1000 Q, 5000 S)
5 thousand CatOffice (S only)

Assuming you want a basic quantum computer, nothing special for a quantum computer, then let's say 50,015,725,000 Paw Marks, or $100,031,450,000 are added on.

OOC: Yes, I remember Bush falling off a self-balancing scooter. But where on the Segway website does it say the "Not for use if you have heart problems, difficulty breathing, are pregnant or could become pregant, are on certain medications " part?

Er, so that total comes to.....
170,437,495,000 US Dollars? Money wired. :D

OOC: Yes, I remember Bush falling off a self-balancing scooter. But where on the Segway website does it say the "Not for use if you have heart problems, difficulty breathing, are pregnant or could become pregant, are on certain medications " part?

It doesn't (as far as I know). I was joking.

OOC: Just wanted to make sure that these rumors were dispelled so people would not be afraid to buy...

IC:
Edolia, would you like to buy anything? We have also introduced a new section: Music.

Yes, actually. I believe that Edolia will import... 10,000,000 of your nice tempurrrrr-pedic-beddy-thingies. And we'd also be interested in 50,000 massagy-chair-thingies.

The massage chairs are being sent.

Please wire the money, and take 5% off for your UNAOTO discount.

You will have to specify what size of bed.

OOC: Wow! :shock: Though my personal favorite is Dvorak's 9th "From the new world". :D

Oh and yes, I really do know most of the words, I'm singing along now. :wink: But my version is a 1963 recording of Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philarmonic. All Beethoven's nine symphonies. Musta cost my uncle (who gave it to me a Christmas years ago) a fortune. :shock:

IC: Secretary of Defense Bunker adjusted his glasses as he read the information regarding the latest products from Feline.

"Beethoven's 9th!" He grins. Everyone at the government table is shocked, for he's revealing a side of himself no one's ever seen before.

"Ooooooooo Freeeeeeeeunde! Nicht dieeeeeese toooooooooone! Sondern laaaaaascht und aaaaaaaaaaand hmere anstimen! Und freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuden. Vollore!

"Freude Schoner Gotterfunken, Tochter Aus Elysium. Wir betreten feuer trunken. Himmlische dein heiligtum! Deine zauber binden wiede. Vas die mode streng geteult! Alle menschen werde bruder. Wor dein sanfter flugel veilt!"

"Well." President Harrington smiled. "Think we'd best order him a copy, then? As well as this Rat Pack CD. Wire the 29 US dollars immediately!"

Ah, right-o. I didn't see that part. We'll take... How about 2.5 million of each? And add in 50,000,000 neck pillows. The total comes (with the 5% UNAOTO discount) to:

[PM]8,772,776,250 or $17,544,552,500. I'm spending a lot on beds. Well, we've got a lot of people.

OOC: I just picked two CDs that I thought looked good off of Amazon. I'll expand the selection soon. I'll take your advice, and try to find a CD with Dvorak's 9th Symphony on it.

And I memorized the German lyrics (But can't remember all of the English lyrics... German version is so much catchier) to Beethoven's 9th as well... and I am a natural English speaker, but only know the meanings of about 20 German words. :oops:

IC:

Both orders confirmed.

OOC: This is my personal favorite classical list:

• Dvorak- Ninth Symphony "From the new world"
• Grieg- Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16
• Grieg- Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op.46
• Verdi- Il Trovatore
• Verdi- Aida
• Vivaldi- Four seasons

In my opinion, anyone who thinks Beethoven's 5th is "it" as far as classical goes doesn't know a thing about classical music!

For my versions, I prefer ones from "the Classical Collection", by Orbis Publishing Ltd. It's an old magazine/CD collection from 1992, but the sound quality is near unmatched and I've got a stack of classical CDs to compare against. :D

OOC: Yes, while the Fifth symphony is fairly good, it is by no means the best. Also, bump.

A final bump for the night.

The United Socialist States of Chicken Island would like to purchase 10,000 of your converted Ionised Beam Weapon OICW at the price of 7,500 Paw Marks each. We are in desperate need of weapons for our new army, especially with the possible war at hand.

How many paw marks are in a cluck? (our national currency) We will wire you the money as soon as possible.

~Roboneous Miser
Envoy of the United Socialist States of Chicken Island

We are unsure of the exact number of clucks in a paw mark, but perhaps you know the conversion rate from a United States Dollar to a Paw Mark.

10,000 Ionised Beam Weapon OICWs will cost 75,000,000 Paw Marks ($150,000,000). They will be sent pending wiring of the money.

Bump, we are now selling movies, and an ionised beam weapon designed to be as cheap as possible. You can find the movies at the very end of the post, and the ionised beam weapon at the end of the ionised beam weapons section. Also, Dvorak's Ninth has been added. :)

Dear Feline.

Subsequent to your previous post, we require something special.

We need a computer system which can make rapid calculations for our space vessels. Specifically, one, which, given the appropriate sensor data, can interpret the speed, range and bearing of incoming enemy fire and shift shields to block that fire.

We are willing to pay all R&D costs as well as procurement.

We we first like to confirm our order for 10,000 heavy battle suits, put in on Saturday. I already wired your buisness the money, so I hope it will be delivered promptly. We would also like to purchase 1,000 XM312 Conversions. *Wires 8 million dollars* Thank you.

Ssakura: Order confirmed. Didn't I send you a telegram confirming those 10,000 battlesuits though? :?

Adejaani: Orders confirmed, and as for the computer, we stated: We will not sell our computers for military purposes. Sorry.

bump

I would like a thousand Heavy battle suits and a thousand M3A1 Conversions
thanks wiring money...

we would like ten (10) Light Battlesuits, as our currency is different, my tresurer has made the conversions and $150,000 is on it's way.

Feline why do you go bump all the time :?:

Thunderstrike: Sorry when I posted to your thread... I did not realize you were a dictatorship. We don't sell to dictatorships. Sorry.

Fyreheart: Order confirmed. I will telegram you after I post this vis a vis the computer consulting.

Aborigines: Would you please clarify your order?

Fyreheart: Order confirmed. I will telegram you after I post this vis a vis the computer consulting.

Acknowledged. Please remember to apply our 5% discount for UNAOTO membership, as well as 1% for UN membership. Of course, if you do not allow combined discoiunts, we will take the UNAOTO option.

No, we are sorry, we do not allow combined discounts.

We were not aware you were an UN member, but we were aware you were a UNAOTO member, so we already applied the UNAOTO discount.

ya it's all really nice, but just so you know, segways don't function properly after the battery starts to die (you have a greater chance of falling off, the gyroscopes won't work) cough b cough u cough s cough h cough

Actually, some models did do that, and they were recalled. On the segway website, it states that a simple modification that can be done at a Segway dealership, or by mailing it into them, can fully correct the problem.

Now order something or get out of my thread, and check your facts the next time.

Order confirmed.

regarding the millitary uniform, is the winter wariant the same as the rest just diffrent color or is it made to manage realy low temperatures, harsh wind and for example laying 5 hours still in deep snow?
I also wounder if the beret can be bought in a warmer verision, the same goes for the boots.
thank you in advance

The winter uniform is no different than the others except for the color. The battlesuits, however, have a climate control system built in.

The boots are already fully insulated.

We'll sell you F.I.E.T.P. Fatigue Jacket (Feline Insulated Extreme Temperature), insulated with a special gel that keeps the solider warm from 225 degrees kelvin (-48 degrees centigrade). We will also sell you the F.I.E.T.P. Fatigue Cap, which is a simple cloth cap that protects from 250 Kevlin (-23 degrees centigrade).

The cost for the jacket is 375 Paw Marks ($750) and the cost for the cap is 10 Paw Marks ($20).

OOC: What tech is F.I.E.T.P. from? It sounds like future tech in that case i wont buy it cause im a modern/near near future nation

Near future, probaly. They have special insulation gels in coats these days... they just cost a lot. (Like a couple thousand.)

We require the following equipment for the development of homeland security.

100 Model IV Light Tank "Striker"
100 Model IV Main Battle Tank "Conqueror"
12 Defender Class Patrol Boats

Our Country has now begun the official organization of our military, and at the moment, all we need are our uniforms. As we are a peaceful country for the moment, all we will require are 5,860,000 uniforms, with the emblem and magnetic stripes. I will require 1,000,000 of these uniforms in a light blue color, 2,000,000 of these in light green, 1,250,000 of these in red, 1,500,000 in dark blue, and 110,000 in a lighter black. According to my financial advisor, we can complete this transaction.

I am also interested in licsensing the manufacturing rights of some of your civilian computer models. These computers will only be sold to our population, and you will recieve a percentage of the total sales. If this is acceptable, I would like to discuss this.

Order confirmed.

We would be interested in such a liscensing agreement.

How does 10% of every sale sound?

Hmm. How about 25%?

ATTENTION: MAJOR STORE UPDATE COMING TODAY!

25% is acceptable.

We expect to sell approx. 25,000 computers a year for the next 7 years, so it will be $18,750,000 USD a year. Expect payment sent at the end of the fiscal year.

Excellent. If you require any marketing assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

Also, a few more updates will be coming today.

We are interested in your quantum computer technology. We are willing to offer you an exclusive contract to supply the government (including the military) with your computers. To avoid any compatibility issues, we would also be purchasing the CAT OS, Cat Office as well as FIST.

So far the war has been kept to the Meritocracy forums, but it may soon become interregional.

http://merit.jink.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2121

Could you give me a summary of events thus far?

A failed assassination attempt puts King Leo IV in the hospital. Prince Gregory takes over. Several cities rebel. Battle in Greaton - draw. Battle in Danielville - Rebel vicotory. Battle in Leopolis (capital) - under progress. Several nations give aid. Blockade underway.

Alright, just have the pro-democracy people shop in the store for rebellions I made... also:

We hereby endorse the Pro-Democracy Movement in the nation of The Crying Lions, and offer them non-military support and limited assistance in training troops.

Sorry for the delay, Terra Malus. Order confirmed. As an apology for the delay, please take an additional 10% discount in addition to your standard UNAOTO discount.

Thank you very much for your generosity. Additional purchases will be made once we have completed testing and evaluating the first batch of the products.

We would also like to remind you of the 10-year tax holiday granted to companies of UNAOTO/UnAPS member nations that would set-up shop locally.

Interesting. Perhaps we could farm out production of a few goods. Any good land for a factory?

Yes, we have designated industrial areas outside of our major population centers and national parks. How much land would you need? Would you require it to be near a seaport?

The way things are going, peace talks will probably start soon. A compromise has been thought of. A constitutional monarchy would satisfy both sides. However, the peace talks may not succeed.

Would they accept a outside mediator?

I do not know. I will ask.

We take pride in our status as one of the safest nations in Haven. But recent incidents have put that distinction and the capacity of the Imperial Guard to keep our nation safe into question.

A series of bank robberies have hit the capital city in recent weeks. All perpetrators were armed and resisted attempts to arrest them. The Guardsmen who responded had no choice but to use lethal force on the perpetrators. This has led to speculation in the press that the suspects were deliberately killed by overzealous, misguided officers motivated by vengeance and determined to preserve the Imperial Guard's reputation as the enforcers of order in the Empire. Or the officers were the masterminds behind the robberies and wished to keep their participation secret by murdering the only witnesses. Our own official investigation has concluded that the Guardsmen followed the rules of engagement and were justified in their use of lethal force. But the damage has been done. A recent poll indicated that citizens have become mistrustful of the police. The survey revealed that majority of citizens believe that the Guard has become too militarized in its thinking and that reforms have to be made.

But the same investigation has uncovered that the weapons used by the criminals were disguised as a transfer shipment from the armed forces. This is a grave matter and has been elevated to the level of a threat to national security. Those responsible are now being hunted down by security operatives and will be brought to justice. Until they are captured and charged in court, these findings will be kept secret.

These incidents have made us come to the conclusion that we would need an inventory of weapons that have non-lethal settings and of a unique construction so we can keep a very accurate and secure inventory. After reviewing all our options, we have decided that your Ionised Beam Weapons would be the best choice. We would like to tender a contract for 5 million pieces of the P-99 Conversion, 1 million pieces of the M-16 Conversion, 1 million pieces of the P-90 Conversion, and 500,000 pieces of the SA-80 Conversion. We have allocated 6,800,000,000 Paw Marks (to be sourced from our foreign currency reserves) and a purchase period of 2 years.

Order confirmed. I will give you a 15% discount (10% for membership in the UNAPS, 5% discretionary) since you are such a trusted ally.

i would like to buy 1,000 of each of the following:
Heavy Battle Suit
Advanced Model Human Transporter
Ionized Beam Weapon OICW

The total comes to 22,250,000. Money wired upon order confirmation.

Order confirmed.

Now open for civil and military business once more.

EDIT: Dark Terror wishes to continue the war with a puppet representing him. So, it is closed for military business once more.

I would like to buy:

Yes, our computer has pretty much every acessory imaginable (So no one else has any reason to ask in the future.)

The memory controller is on the motherboard to allow it to be more easily swapped out if it needs upgrading or replacing.

if this is a supercomputer the speed wouldn't be 4.5GHz it would be 4.5 THz(Terra hurtz its a real thing search on google)

Cax: Order confirmed via telegram earlier.

FutureEngland: hertz is not a measure of computer speed, just like temperature is not a measure of how hot or cold things are. They just measure a factor that influences what we use them to measure. The hertz of the processor is only one factor determining a computer speed. Apple's desktop computers do have a lower hertz than many slower computers with more hertz.

Rather, the speed of a computer is actually measure in flops (FLOating Point operations per Second), usually megaflops.

We are now re-opened for all goods.

Geesh FE, do you want ANYBODY to sell to you?
Honestly Feline, I would check his storefront now, this guy has a nasty tendancy to copy other peoples work.

We will take 40000 M-16 conversion's and 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 massage chairs(!) :P Money will be wired upon confirmation.

Hey, I'm a "Father Knows Best State", does that mean I can't buy stuff here?

Just thought that I'd ask in advance.

Dontgonearthere: Whose storefront?

Aanmericaa: Order confirmed for the weapons. Please reduce the rest of the order.

China and Japan: Correct. Sorry, but correct.

Ah well, no harm in checking in advance.

Mine, Northrop Grummans, and who knows how many others. Mostly he copied everything but spaceships from NG, then did a direct copy/paste of my ships, failed to take out numerous refrences to GLACORP and DGNT, then was yelled at and had his store deleted by myself (this was on the IM), and we would of course, be quite happy if you would join our embargo.

On a more positive note, would you happen to like a forum here:
http://s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall/index.php

No, I mean check whose storefront? Who's the one copying stuff?

And I would like to keep my storefront on the main forums- gets more visibility. Not that I have that good of sales, but, you know. It sounds like a good idea, but could I have one in both places?

FutureEnglands, search his name and look at his store, Im sure everything you find can be found somewhere else on NS, alhtought the names are differnt sometimes.

Sure, what I would suggest is moving things there and replacing your store with a link, most people dont mind an extra click, plus their servers are GREAT compared to NS, its almost never down.

I'll do it. Could you make a "near-future tech" department?

Errr, were trying to keep things neat.

The CMWA currently is dedicated to providing border patrol on the Eastern border of our nation. It is composed of about 1,600 volunteers and 10 paid staff members.

Yes, certainly, if the Allanean government will permit the sale, we would be pleased to fill the order.

(OOC: A little humor there...)

OOC: Feline is back. Wow.

IC:

Official Response from the Confederate States Dept. of Commerce

We have no idea what 'permit' our friends in Feline are talking about, since as they know, there's no law prohibiting the transfer of this equipment in Allanea, or mandating a 'permission' for it. We would like to further notice that the CMWA has a record of assisting the Border Patrol in it's exploits. The CSBP is extremely underfunded at the moment, and frankly we have no clue what would we be doing without the help of gracious volunteers.
