IC:
We had not considered the idea of a lifetime subscription. We will need to undertake a review on pricing. However, your question has prompted us to extend to you a free 1 year subscription as we review pricing for lifetime subscriptions. You are also entered into the drawing for the swiss bank account.
Sincerely,
The Editors

We would like a 2 year subscription, but also inquire about a lifetime subscription possiblity. We abstain from the swiss bank account drawing (we prefer our own national banks - interested?), but thanks anyway.

Prosperity,

Premier Richard Vrai

Order confirmed, you should receive issues one and two shortly.

To those that have requested lifetime subscriptions - pricing has been set at $8,000.00 for a life time subscription. This is basically 80% of the newstand price for 40 years worth of issues. Those of you wishing to convert to lifetime subscriptions please notify us and send the $$

Comminque to Norleans
From: President Mina Veristek of the Sharina Technocracy

Greetings.

I would very much like to order 10,000 lifetime subscriptions, along with all the prior issues for a sum total of $80 million dollars. I am also enclosing a $20 million dollar tip, out of gratitude for our many years as close friends. Perhaps in the future, we could discuss a possibility for opening several magazine printing factories in Sharina should these magazines become wildly popular.

Thank you, and live well.

OCC: Do an article on my country.

OK, wait till the next issue.

OOC: and an Article on my country or any affairs of my country?

Perhaps to the consternation of the crown prince the majority of the nobles in Otares seem interested in your magazine. The upper crusts of society, i.e. the large money owners, also seem taken with your publication. To meet current demand distributors in Otares have submitted a total of 105,325 tenders for lifetime subscriptions. This would come to a total of $842,600,000.

Rumors have already begun circulating as to whether or not the crown prince will declare the magazine treasonous. There are however also rumors saying that one of the above subscriptions was the crown prince’s.

Yeah, but I made the cover! :D

So did I....Mr. Pothead :D

I know now why your military is good at building massive objects now. You make a massive bong. I make a massive aircraft carrier! My new guns are like this!
