Kamikaze Squig Trade Open

24-11-2003, 19:32
OOC: Eek! I've never posted in International Incidents before, but after poking around for advice, this is the best place to make trade. If there are any here who only read Int. Inc. posts, then I'll let you know that I am a fantasy nation (and a hopeless one at that), and if you've got problems with those, I'd rather enjoy you'd press the 'Back' button instead of posting a flame how I'm a 'st00pid LotR n00b'.

IC: After a long string of experiments (and equal amount of setbacks), success! The first batch of Goblin Rights kamikaze squigs are on sale! Though most goblins have an icy point of view to other species, warlord Snottynoze has decided that the key to surviving among other nations is to begin selling, and with modern war times (there's always one somewhere), arms manufacture is a good source of income.
A kamikaze squig is basically a berzerk fleshy creature with a row of razor-sharp teeth, that has a stick of dynamite strapped around the body. These are on sale from TGRM now*. Prices are $200.00 per squig.
There is one setback, however. Due to TGRM's isolated position, and lack of fast forms of transportation, the delivery of the squigs can take a long while (say, 3 hours real time). IF anyone would like to negotiate in helping transportation, by all means welcome. Despite these setbacks, TGRM wishes to become more open with other nations through this sale.

the electrical monks will breed squigs and package them then send them off to other nations. of course this will mean you pay us a percentage of the profit to allow for the greater good of our nation and the protection of our national animal the door to door salesman

We will gladly allow you to build a manufacturing plant on our grounds, and will gladly give a percentage of the population. However, you will NOT breed the squigs, and the packaging will be done on TGRM grounds. We won't charge you for building the plant, and will even help with what resources and manpower we scavenge, but we will not drop from these terms. We apologize if this is a problem for you, but we do not want... competitors... on the squig trade. For this reason, all squigs to be sold are castrated. The plant on our grounds is so we can keep a better watch.
We're sorry if these demands are too harsh, but that's business. Please answer soon.

OOC: Heh, sorry for the tough demands, but when you've begun trade in virgin territory, competition is the last thing you want, and no chances must be taken. Just RP'ing, y'know... :wink:
