Any of those carriers damaged? If they are fully repaired, I will bid 1 billion for all of the AIRCRAFT CARRIERS.
Blacktower
08-11-2004, 07:40
All ships that you destroyed are not on the list lol. And yes the rest have been fully repaired.

I shouldnt allow you to bid, being an enemy and all, but in the hopes of future peace, we shall allow it. Consider it a notion of good will.
Comdidia
08-11-2004, 07:42
Seeing as Comdidia could use some more carriers we will bid 15 billion for them.
Blacktower
08-11-2004, 07:44
excellent. 15B is the current high bid for the carriers. All other ships are still open for bidding.
Blacktower
08-11-2004, 07:44
oh, and a side note, backgrounds checks WILL BE COMPLETED on all bidders, so dont bid with money you dont have. If it it not all in your defence budget, explain how you got it.
The Phoenix Milita
08-11-2004, 07:46

Blacktower
08-11-2004, 08:00
your going to spend your entire Government budget on the subs and primary battle group? alright then.....
Comdidia
08-11-2004, 08:00
I'm tempted to just put up most my defense budget so i can feel really insulted when i get beat in bidding....
The Phoenix Milita
08-11-2004, 08:01
I already stopped biding on the carriers :D
too rich for my blood, plus I can make my own carriers ;)
Comdidia
08-11-2004, 08:03
Yeah i could do that too but wheres the fun in that? Why waste money on building your own when you can buy someone elses....I just realised how stupid that sounded but to secure my postion on the aircraft carriers i'll bid 1.5 trillion. And hope when i check back tomorrow no one beat it.
Blacktower
08-11-2004, 08:04
