Exetonia woulkd further add to its bid, a total of 22 billion dolars, the entire defnce budget for the year. We can borrow upkeep out of our waste. If more money is required, we will look to our colonies.

fifty billion, six hundred and forty seven million, nine hundred and thirty six thousand, two hundred and twelve dollars and forty six cents.

fifty billion, six hundred and forty seven million, nine hundred and thirty six thousand, two hundred and twelve dollars and forty six cents.

That would severely cripple your nation, likely sending it into anarchy, or rebellion.
Godular

Hopefully he takes installments.

We can put up a good amount of the figure up front, as we haven't been doing much with our military budget as of late and have a nest egg set up, but we'll have to push back the completion date on our shipyards a few years.

You're welcome to outbid me, however... I won't lose a tear.

ooc:I hate to say this, u may be able to afford this but ur rp skills stink. several trillion for a 50 million pop country..... slightly out of order. I think the person in your government/regieme would be in deep trouble for a bid like that (id execute the guy in my nation (personal preferences) and no, its not the king/whoever (even in a dictatorship) who bids on stuff like even in rp'ing. You guys wanna re-think your bets? I mean, can u seriously tell me that your dictator/king has total control over everything in the nation... sounds a bit insane to me...

Torsg
07-10-2004, 20:42

(ooc: I meant the cost for a 50 million country, its un reasonable for you to jump straight in with such a high bid after all, look at mine... 1 trillion came after mine and then your excessive bid. is a 50 million nation worth it? no hard feelings though, do as you wish I hope the country does you good and pays out for its cost.)

The Empire of Totenland thanks you and congratulates you for this most interesting offer, unfortunately, we are only interested in buying "workers" for our national military industry "camps".
If ever you are willing to depart yourself from Kovelev's population (males, 12 + only), or are thinking of breeding "workers", we will be most interested in getting them spaded, neutered and off to work as fast as possible.

I'm sorry, but where the heck are you getting all these monetary figures from? Who can say how much "money" your nation/nations have to spend?
Totenland
08-10-2004, 21:16
It's just like Poker.
The important is to look serious and confidant when you make your bet.

And don't overbet, it always looks silly.

By the way, it always helps to own a few million mines of uranium and not be a syssy car-less third world lefty country...

Not really, but I admit that that was just a thinly disguised attempt to get a free puppet, so I retract my bid.

Seriously whatever your name is (maker of this thread), 'breeding' nations is something all of us could do, but it's just really bad RPing. If you want to be a serious NS player, dont do it.

You can't use money from puppets. As a matter of fact, you can't include anything from puppets because a lot of people take advantage of that.

Euroslavia, FYI, they are not puppets as they do not RP. They are members of a commonwealth which many find intuitive and genious. Laugh as much as you want but, they aint puppets

They don't have to RP to be puppets.
Exetonia Minor
09-10-2004, 15:52
I RP'd them as becoming a part of The Exetonian Commonwelath. Since i only RP as Exetonia Minor and mention the country as a commonwealth, they are not puppets. They are not independant nations, merley states of the commonwealth... Its all kosher, no one has complained before.

Nianacio
09-10-2004, 17:17
I Rp'd them joining Exetonia Minor ergo, they are STATES not NATIONSI, and I think many others, consider that godmoding.
As far as the game is concerned (not that the game is the best resource for deciding what's ICly happening), they're still separate nations...But I'll revise my definition.
Puppet=Any other NationStates account you OOCly control whether or not you RP with it
i have no been criticised before i WILL NOT be criticised now for it.I'm not criticizing you, just saying I can't go to war with you because of it...And saying I consider it godmoding, but I separate the action from the person.
Exetonia Minor
09-10-2004, 17:27
OOC:Then you and Euroslavia have lost out on a good rp'er (as i have been called) since you, but no storefronts or other persons have considerd it godmodding. Please explain to me how. I have no rp'd with them, i legtitmitaely rp'd them joining Exetonia Minor and evry was happy and didnt complain. Ah well, if you see it as god modding, u view it as godmodding but, its not listed as such in the FYI thread.
Nianacio
09-10-2004, 17:31
OOC:Please explain to me how.I could make myself a few hundred puppets named 1001, 1002, 1003, et cetera, list their names and say they're joining Nianacio to get a huge population bonus, but that would be based purely on how much time I'm willing to spend OOC to create nations. NS is based on IC actions, not OOC. ('Though you can use OOC knowledge to make a better nation or post reasons why something should happen.)
I have no rp'd with them, i legtitmitaely rp'd them?

09-10-2004, 17:34
sorry to clarify, I rp'd them being a part of exetonia Minor ergo they are nbot nations but states.

unfortunately, not everyone views puppetering as godmodding so i can see hence why it has never been placed in there.

OOC:sorry to clarify, I rp'd them being a part of exetonia Minor ergo they are nbot nations but states.And 1001, 1002, 1003, et cetera would be states after I list them in my annexation thread. If that's in response to my question mark, do you mean you RPed with Exetonia Minor as if it owned them, but did not RP on those nations?
unfortunately, not everyone views puppetering as godmodding so i can see hence why it has never been placed in there.When it was written, I think everyone (except for those who did it) considered puppeteering godmoding.

09-10-2004, 17:43
well, i didnt annex them, they joined. They have the flag of exetonia Minor, are working towards the same government structure and I Rp'd Exetonia minor as them for the election as they wetre also a part of that. they are all a part of Exetonia Minor via creation. Such as the Sun isles arte the isles of scilly and the channel islands that wre a part of exetonia minor (previoulsy listed as) and became became there own state and Exetonia independants who made their own commonwelath state after the fall of the the far right government and exetonia which just ecame reinstated and was the original commonwelath.
