Slaves For Sale

Silian
17-09-2006, 10:54
The Government of Silian needs money to fund its glorious army. For that reason we are hereby selling slaves. The slaves are mostly convicts which should be under surveillance all the time. Some of the other slaves are the people who sold themselves to slavery. The prices are as follows:

1 Convict Slave Male = 10 SL
1 Convict Slave Female = 15 SL
1 Convict Slave Child = 15 SL

1 Slave Male = 20 SL
1 Slave Female = 25 SL
1 Slave Child = 25 SL

The Stocks are:

Conv.Male: 10,000
Conv.F.Male: 1,000
Conv.Child: 5,000 (half female half male)

Male: 1,000
Female: 1,000
Child: 500 (half and half)

(1,5 SL = 1 $)

PLEASE DO YOUR OWN MATH!

There's an old saying: " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

By order of Emperor Alaric Tan'it of The Barbaric Empire of Xeraph, I hereby declare the nation of Silian to be considered Outcast. The practice of slavery is an abomination to all civilised nations. If the naval vessals or aircraft of the nation of Silian or any nation dealing with Silian pass through waters or airspace of The Xeraphian Empire, they will be be destroyed without warning.

OOC: I believe these threads are usually shut down pretty quick. In any case, you can assume you've got a C'tani buyer, for your entire stock at SL 247,500.

The order is confirmed and the slaves will be sent when the money is wired.

But due to the international pressure the slavery will be aboilshed in Silian after this transaction.

As the president of a democracy i MUST also ofcourse aid anyone assisting in the aid of these poor persons (especially the Children)
Although i can't take in any off the persons into my country, i will assist anyone financially that is willing to free these poor slaves.
You Ackistan have my trust. So i will wire 3 billion dollars to your account (for shelters, food and education for any off these slaves)

If The Ctan agree to this, we would prefer we bought all of the regular citizens who sold themselves into slavery. We will then grant them citizenship and freedom here in Cravan if they so desire, and give them enough to start a new life. We only ask both C'tani and Silianian cooperation in this endeavour.

Subject: Labor

I have been instructed to procure as many slaves/convicts as you are willing to sell, though your recent abolishment of slavery complicates matters. As such, we are willing to take any convicts that had been previously marked for sale that you can give to us. Adults will be tasked with various land reclamation projects, military training, or other, depending on the nature of their crimes. Children will most likely be tasked with non-life threatening labor. Please get back to us.

DEMOCRATIC SOVIET REPUBLIC OF KAHANISTAN
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Government of Kahanistan condemns the sickening and barbaric practice of slave marketing that takes place in the nation of Silian. Silian will indeed need its "glorious" army to be well-prepared.

Slavery is a violation of human rights and all Republic Navy vessels are authorized to stop and search all vessels suspected of slaving, and seize the slaves aboard for purposes of granting asylum in Kahanistan, as per the Combating Slavery Act of 1977.

Signed,
Margaret Delray,
Minister of Foreign Affairs

A fleet of B-2 stealth bombers, F-22 Raptors, F-117 Nighthawks, and the indigenous B-96 Nemesis heavy stealth bombers fueled and loaded up for a possible strike. While the DSRK did not, as its enemies often claimed, jump headfirst into a political conflict with force, it did sometimes rattle the saber if it felt that such was necessary.

No effort at all was made to keep the mobilization secret; it was hoped that the slaves would be freed upon the threat of a massive bombing raid against the military facilities the Silians sought to build with their ill-gotten money from selling slaves.

OOC: That would be rather unnecessary (as would the various other offers). What do you think I'm doing with them? Hell, same applies to the convicts, though they'll be observed for a while.

I do not mean to interfer with your affairs, but I am amazed that, even as I tour your nation, indeed, even as I lodge in your very captial, to promote peace, you would buy slaves. Once again, I'm not being rude, but you too, are a member of the IHC. Our nations have had close ties since I resided there upon the order of Her Late Highness, Grand Duchess Maria. And yet...

Herastall expresses concern over Kahanistan's quick actions to take violent acts to abolish slavery. Herastall also wonders if Kahanistan realises by destroying ports, ships, buildings or anything else their steal bombers may be used to attack, could quite simply decrease the number of jobs avalible, a rise in crime, and hence, a rise in blackmarket slavery? Herastall asks for Kahanistan to consider giving Silian more time.

OOC: Gaaah. The idea is that they were bought for the express purpouse of manumission (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Manumit&x=0&y=0) by some private individual (whom I OOCly know the identity of, mind), because, frankly, the price was so low, he'd be able to buy less than one tank from the profits. If the previous post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11692760&postcount=12) wasn't clear enough, even the murderers would be freed from slavery upon arrival.

As for everyone else, esp. Asgarnieu... all slaves in Silian are now free. He's said as much. Got that? You're demanding that he release them... when he already has. You're killing civillians for absolutely no reason whatsoever. With bloody firebombs, no less.

For the love of God, read threads before you start bombing!

A hand-delivered letter by a gentleman in a light coat, who spoke not, and seemed to enter and leave by some unknown means, one would assume a secret passage. Both on his lapel, and sealing the letter in green wax, was a design of a twisted bough of leaves, not unlike the wreaths common from roman-inspired cultures.

I don’t know how precisely you learnt of this given that our operations are traditionally secret as opposed to flaunted obviously. As you apparently have, which speaks volumes of an intelligence service you really shouldn’t be able to produce and doubtless cannot sustain, I shall explain.

First, I shall deal with your accusations about the Elenaran. It’s a dark universe of pain and suffering we find ourselves in, and the various operatives sanctioned by him generally work to bring light to such places. Besides this, he was not responsible for the slave-purchasing operations.

This was the action of ‘my’ own non-governmental organisation. The price paid for these slaves is far insufficient for the government in question to buy a tank, let alone a ‘glorious army’ (they were charging pocket change for people).

Such people as we have bought have been saved from exploitation, and will, upon their arrival, all be freed, and allowed to go where they will and do as they wish. It is vaguely disturbing that you would think otherwise. Along with many others, I myself have been saved from death at the hands of tyrants by the C’tan, as have millions, maybe billions, of others.

Neither the C’tan government (such as it is) nor my own people tolerate the compulsion of labour and upon their arrival even the ‘criminals’ among the group will be liberated. I feel no compulsion to explain myself further, but please, in future, remember, if it seems to incredible to be true, it probably is, and there is probably more afoot than you know.

As we stated before slavery is now abolished in Silian. Still again in the light of new threats the slaves that were supposed to be sent to CTan will be freed as well. But in order to lower the crime rate because of this recent population rise We are asking the mightier nations for work opportunities and some financial funding. The nation which is funding Silian may spend the funds itself thus eliminating the chance of misuse. Again to lower the crime rate We would like to send 1000 of our future psychologists to another nation to be educated in Criminal Rehabilitation.

We find your actions of slave trade to be negligent, irresponsible and cruel. To place these people in the open market violates even the most basic of human rights.


So as of now you are placed on the Neoman watch list, we urge you to never to open you slave business again or actions WILL be taken against you and your government whether it be militaristic or diplomatic in nature.

"Can you belive this Keiko? Slaves being sold." Said Yuki.

"Barbaric, how can democratic nations stand for this?"

"How can the Romney stand for this?" Asked Akito

"We just finished Hanover she can't put us on the spot more" Alleana said

"Anyway," Yoko said "Slaves, men women children?"

"Apparently all of the above." Yuki said. "But they are convicts."

"Not all convicts are true criminals." Alleana Look at Stevid, they imprisoned thousads on the sole basis they were muslims. Part of the reason I've never gone back. I think we should do a little digging, find out who these slaves are, and then buy them all and set them free, all under the noses. We've done it before, I'm sure we can do it again."

"Gotta love being a Hawk." Shegureu said "Allena you Akito and I will start snooping. Yuki, Yoko, Keiko, you can designe a fake company with fake credintals, and a fake history dating all the way back to 1912."

We are really running long and expensive on labor. We are in need of great ammount of cheap labor to compete against the Government subsidizations. No price is to high to buy large quantities of them.

Sincerly,
