Yes you heard me right! John Jacobian pencils!

The point of this fine piece of worksmanship can be sharpened as to stab someone in the throat or write a beautiful sonnet to your lover


These fine Jacobian pencils wont be here for long! So buy one now at the unbelieveable price of 1 usd!

Right...

Buy them!

1 buck? fuckin rip off!

Galmorra would like to purchase the John Jacobian Pencil Company. Our corporate executives seek to expand into foreign markets.

Are they enhanced to extend up to ten meters and are they made of the finest in patterned mithril-steel technology? If not, then we will have to stick to our proprietary Stabapoetintheimportantbits weapons, where the pencil is indeed equal to the sword.

OOC: 1 pack or a pencil for 1 USD?

IC:
I don't see why not, we mainly seel arms and military items, and let away the main income of forgien import, goods. Pencils, foods, drinks, supplies, all these run for goods, even america importas a lot of these goods. Of cource meet and automobiles are america's fine points, they import somethign I found very surprising with our power and time in that area, oil.

So, before we think all this is is military, open your eyes for goods. No nation unless it is world dominate can produce everything.

*Buys 5 million pencils and throws them at everyone*

:twisted: :twisted:

Thank goodness! We are opening alot of new school districts and are in need of many, many pencils. Please ship five million boxs of pencils.

Dang, bleep you! I was planning on doing that, only get a hundred and stab everyone with a pop above bil.

OOC: No stabbing of us oldies. :P

IC: This topic has been dismissed as a hoax and the intern that brought it up was fired.

one pack for 1 usd

I shall purchase 10,000 boxes of pencils. I DO assume these are pre-sharpened?

(You never know when my Legions of Death may need one as an inconspicuous backup weapon, you know!)

Question to all buyers:

Is your nation so outragously backwards in thinking that it would bay well over three times as much as it should per pack of pencils(and he never said how many were in a pack) when your nation can produce them for itself much cheaper and more effeciently?

Or do you like overpaying for foriegn pencils and hurting your own economy?

I will buy 1 pencil. Put it on my tab.

hmm well i dont know if i could make pencils like this in my own country!! they are very nice pencils! and if i did want to then i would have to make a whole factory with special equipment just for making pencils and i dont want that many, so i think maybe it is better if i do it this way. nice that ur concerned, maybe you should buy some pencils! and if you dont and make ur own factory maybe i will buy my pencils from u instead!
(how many pencils are in a pack by the way?)

okay, assuming its a standard pack of ten.

I need 1.306 billion.
I need 130600000 packs.

there's gunna be a pencil fest in Blargistania tonight.
And, in the case of invasion, my populace is armed.

Do these pre-sharpened pencils happen to be colour pencils? If so plese send 100 boxes to Anniarthium. You can never have enough tickled pink pencils. :lol:

OOC: Holy shift. ONE BILLION

Orders have been confirmed

10 pencils per pack Pre sharpened Hollow tip optional for storing poison or other deadly things

Regular pencils can be used to stab someone. You haven't explained what makes this specific brand better than the next one. Other than how you marketed it, heh. :lol:

pencils are evil, and should be burned like munks, they are the root of all of my problems, and i shall not allow them. :twisted:

I bid $1 billion dollars for your pencil company!

First these pencils are not made by children accepting scandalously low wages Second, they last longer

I will not sell my company as long as it makes money

I bid $10bn for your pencil company. That's more money than it's ever going to make.

what happens when you rune out of trees?

So they are "adult" pencils? But also used as a weapon? I'll purse a million of your pencil packs for a total of $1,000,000. It could be of some use! Maybe it will be the official pencil of the armed forces;). :!: :idea:

I'll bid 11 billion dollars for the company! 8)

I bid $11bn and one cent

15 billion! ![!Sweats!]!

you guys realize that sharpened sticks can do the same things as sharpened pencils, right?

Hmm Heated bidding eh? I'll follow

my goal is 30 billion but whateva

Yes, but it's a symbolic buy.

How about we pool our bids and go for joint ownership.

50 billion...right on the table!

How about we pool our bids and go for joint ownership.

That sounds good.

50 billion? OMFS

A multinational company sounds great

Ok I propose a joint bid of $20bn, of which we each pay $10bn. We split the profits equally and cant do anything to the company without the agreement of the other.

Twenty five billion

25 Billion? It's a deal!

Sold to the mulitnations!

The corparete headquarters will stay in LJJ but the name will be changed to PraeRRAAQQUUII Pencils

Factories will be built per request



OOC: Change this if you want and pardon my spelling

hey Ive got a sock company, they can keep your feet comfy, and you can use them as weapons, you can either choke someone or put a hard object in one and beat people. Ill sell it to ya for 20 billion. :roll:

I'll buy that too!

Yay textile trade has taken off

I've been saving up for stuff like this. You'd probably beat me at around 500 billion, heh...maybe...

Must....have...washing...machines

I want a whole shipping crate full of pencils! Do you sell coloured pencils?

Telegram me to confirm the deals. It has been added to my records. So partnership in John Jacobian pencils for a split 25 billion? I'll pay 13 billion if i can get 51% ownership? You will have to pay 12 billion praetonia? Or straight down the middle?

I also (think) i bought a stock company...? :?:

I wont.

Anyway, LJJ, edit the original post and change the title to PraeRRAAQQUUII Pencils.

Now, IIRRAAQQUUII, I have 8 companies:

1 Dog Collar Producer
1 Concrete Ball Producer
1 Lampshade Producer
1 Weird Items Producer
1 Cat Food Factory
1 Roast Chicken Processing Plant
1 'Innovations Company'
1 Lexicon Producer

They each retail at $5bn, how mnay would you like to buy?

EDIT: You cant sell my 50%, only yours.

All of them. OOC: I'll come back later and do the math...IIRRAAQQII No U's

I forgot to metion, i own a tooth-paste factory, you can kill people by squirting it down their throat, or up there nose, in ears, eyes, etc. And you can use it to make your teeth stay strong and white :D Plus you get a free tooth-brush with every tube of tooth-paste. 2 usd for a tube of tooth-paste, plus a choice of colours for your free tooth-brush

A shipping crate full of pencils? or boxes of pencils

If you are referring to my SOCK company then no no has bought it because it does not exist. It was meant to show how stupid buying pencils, let alone paying 25 billion for a pencil company, when you could create a company and employ the loggers, the miners who mine graphite, and the people who make the company run for less than that.

Post your own thread =o lets see if this textile thing catches on

can i get some commerorative pencils with "10th Anneversary of Our Glorious Leader's Election" written on them. I'll need about 10 million of them
and some exploding pencils with "A Gift from Your Friendly Nieghbors" on them? Expensis will be paid for the special order.

Okay.. The peoples republic does not know of these exploding pencils (wink wink) your custom pencils will be shipped
*order confirmed*

10 pencils per pack Pre sharpened Hollow tip optional for storing poison or other deadly thingsI like those odds :D :D :D

we condemn pencils, as they cause trees to be murdered. I mean how would you like it if a tree sliced you into little pieces, stuck a piece of lead up yourear and used you to write on stuff

Trees dont have brains

It's not my country. :wink:

Over controversal comments by world leaders, we decided NOT to buy your pencil company. The pencils will be denied entrance in out waters. Whatever becomes of the pencils is not my problem.

Good Day! To further talk to me, you will need to telegram me.

We would like to order two thousand boxes of pencils to slay vampires with.

Could you engrave them with crucifixes? If you can't, lowercase "t"s or "+"s have been found to be effective... use one of those.

(It's so hard to find quality stakes nowadays...)

Could you send us forty boxes of pencils with a silver-based lead? Dual-use ammunition, if you know what I mean. I've been jumped by vampires while shooting down werewolves, and vice versa. And don't get me started on the vampire-werewolf we encountered in Maracachini...
