Message from the Supreme Comrade of the NSSR.

The NSSR need military weapons. Please sell us some.

Official Message:

First, let us organize your claims.

1. DMG sells weapons to groups that could be terrorists.
2. DMG denies purchases to new nations.
3. DMG is a monopoly.

To the first, since, according to you, background checks are useless, so how would you avoid selling weapons to 'terrorists'. In addition, why should DMG be required to judge how is and isn't deserving of weapons?
2. Please provide proof, and then I'll discuss this.
3. You claim DMG is a monopoly, because customers went to the DMG storefront instead of yours. Have you considered that this could be because he simply has a better storefront than you did? Not to mention, considering the amount of other storefronts, he can hardly be considered a monopoly.

Official rebuttal from the Carbandian mod
We have done considerable amount of buisness with DMG, and we have found them to be very fair buisness partners, and would like to point out the following..
1: it is extremely hard to really know if the person you are working with is on the level, or how he is going to use the equipment bought. This goes for all the firms here.
2: three words: limited defense budgets
3: monopoly? count the number of alternate store fronts (a lot), and if you really have a problem with them, you could always just go somewhere else.

ooc: I do buisness with him because of two reasons: 1: his stuff is the one that fits my ideas on what my army is going to be equipped with, and 2: he seems a nice guy, and really does give his designs a whole lot of thought. If you ask me, he does not deserve this.

I was going to make an official response when you decided to delete your protest post. However, I will make a brief rebuttal anyway.

1) It is hard to know if anyone is a terrorist or not and there is certainly no way I or anyone else could predict the future. There are many companies that sell military products and I doubt they can tell either. It is a free world, buckle up or get run down.

2) I don't deny purchases to new nations. I deny WMDs to new nations, but beyond that I only deny a purchase if they can't afford it and were stupid enough to go over their defense budgets when it states on the first page that you should check your defense budget at a link I have provided before attempting to buy. The only reason this does not happen with larger nations is because even if they mess up, their defense budget is usually large enough to handle the error.

3) New storefronts often don't do well because they are poorly organized and don't have their own products or are of poor quality. Also, monopolies themselves are not necessarily bad or evil. What people accused Microsoft of was having an illegal monopoly... there is a difference. An illegal monopoly is when a company unfairly pushs other (often newer) companies out of business by selling their products for a loss. We do not do that.



[Side note: Thanks to Aeson and Carbandia for the support. And whether I deserve this or not... it did give me a good laugh.]

What are you people smoking!?!? This thread was never about that in the first place! Take your spam elsewhere! Anyway, those edits were for spelling, as I am just learning to touch type. Also, you cannot prove that anything without a quote.

You are terribly funny... except you forgot one thing... even though you edited your post and in-thread title, the title that is shown on the forums still says, "Protest against DMG!"

Nice try.

OOC: Nice try. I may not have quoted it, but I saw what I saw, the fact is clear that you edited it, and your new OP doesn't match the title.

Nothing happened here

Deny it all you want..The title still shows what this thread originally was..And don't expect crying to the mods working..As they will hear both sides of the story.

Like I care, the title was to gain support, and for those of you that say they saw aomething, I could say I saw you swearing at me.

Let us make peace. Let us be all happy and erase our minds. OOC: Seriously lots of hate here

OOC: Except that we haven't edited our posts.

I have no hate... I thought it was funny.

ooc: you wish..I don't hate people that go around crying "foul!" when something doesn't go exactly the way they hoped it would..I pity them..

OOC: I saw an edited post. And I didn't care either way. Take it from someone with experience and ask to have this thread locked. It's the best thing you can do.
*Looks at own post number*
My last nation died from negligence.

We all need a good laugh once in a while. I think we should all be friends nd forget this.

^Fair enough..Good luck with your storefront.

DMG is the place to shop, I've spent lots there and will continue to do so:)

Woohoo! A funny attack on me as turned in to an advertisement for my store!

You know what they say: There is no such thing as bad publicity.
