OOC: Yes I know. Your saying I took the new guy's Helxio idea. Well I did. Its all mine! No I was wanting to do this for awhile and he reminded me of doing.


In the hot desert sun Diego Freemon digged with his crew benath the soil. As of late new oil wells had sprung up all over Zackaroth. The goverment and its people where taking advantage of the new development. Diego was hired as a digger for oil. If he found oil he was promised a big raise. Big enough for him to go back to school and get a better job.


After weeks of false alarms and bad magnement he felt this was it. He turned the drill back on and kept digging. After hours and late into the night it drilled until the next morning he awoke to find that oil had filled the hole. He was so happy. He finally be able to support his family and get a better job.

This was the story for many around Zackaroth as it entered it's oil boom. Zackaroth always had much oil due to its location but it was never on par with other nations and with terroist attacks new oil fields where risky to build. But ever since Mike von Strangaild had left along with his terroist more and more companies started out with there luck and finding extremely satsfying results.

" Dear all nations of the world. Zackaroth has finally been able to dig for more oil benath it's sandy surface. We wish to share this with other free trading nations of the world for a price of course. Just contact us so we can make a deal and shipments of oil will be made to your country the minute we get payment. Thank you

Aimless von Strangaild"

OOC: I'm gonna make prices now and this is the first time I am really not sure how to do this so if I over price stuff just help me out here

IC:

The prices are such:

$45 per barrel bought. A 15% discount is avaible for all allies.

If you wish you purchase an Oil Field you must confirm either a goverment or privately owned field. The goverment fields are around $50,000 and free protection of any threat. Privately owned fields go for 20-40 thousand and are few in number and do not offer free protection instead you must either buy or provide for prtection. All allies automatically get 15% off on any goverment owned field and gain protection not matter what type of field they purchased.If a field or barrels of oil is to be purchased you must agree to:

Never use the Oil against Zackaroth or any of it's allies or buy oil for another nation currently at war for Zackaroth or having any express ill intentions against Zackaroth or any of its allies.

Purchase a field and purposely destory to hurt the Zackarothian Oil Industry. This may lead to sanctions and possible war.

Use the oil to give to terroist groups that have clear intentions of hurting Zackaroth, it's allies or any peaceful nation.

* Rules are sUbject to change and more may be added as the International community grows and change

OOC EDIT: Oh and I copy and pasted this from another Oil Thread I made awhile ago so don't mind oif any thing in the first few things look wrong.

IC: Icovir would like to warn the nation of Zackaroth that you may be attacked by Griffincrest (OOC:since they hate rivalries and such).

IC: Icovir would like to become an ally of Zackaroth, however. This isn't because of the discount, but rather to help Zackaroth in the incoming war against Griffincrest, and in order for Zackaroth to help Icovir in her war against Maldorians and the Blackhelm Confederacy.

Icovir would like to buy 1,000 barrels of oil ($20,000). Money will be wired once you confirm my order.

Xavier Manuel, President of the Great Imperial Federation of Icovir

Zackaroth has took and is taking steps to make sure Griffincrest and its allies keep it's nose out of Zackaroth. Zackaroth is not a small nation and it seems the CA likes to act those. If the CA decides to attack us it will be a very bad mistake.

We prefer not to fight CA but will give Icovir the 15% discount and maybe give its some funding to help out in there war effort. May you achieve victory.

Icovir thanks Zakaroth for the it's help in the War for Galmiria. Icovir also thanks Zakaroth for the oil.

Icovir applauds Zakaroth's bravery in the face of Griffincrest, and is confident that Zakaroth could anihilate the CA.

Zackaroth never said it would destory the CA...alone. You have a choice of having the oil shipped to your nation or sending a plane or tanker to come pick them up.

Icovir'd prefer having the oil shipped by plane.

THe shipment is now being set up and should arrive in the next 48 hours. Thank you for your bussniess.

Bump

OOC: $20 a barrel? Did you find the oil derriks already built, pumping oil by magic so that all you had to do was ship it? And this on land that you already owned and don't pay taxes on (assuming it is not nationalized)? Because otherwise you won't make any profit. Quite likely lose money, in fact.

We rely on our uranium for most of our energy needs, we've found ways to package nuclear power quite efficiently, but your offer is very generous...good luck to you!

OOC: Please OOC tags when talking in IC threads like this. And maybe if you have read the whole post It says I have never done something like this in OIl Shipping and I don't have much to refer to without backtracking through all other pages. So if your here to just crictize then please make a HELPFUL suggestion with it.

OOC: My apoligies. I was merely saying that the price is unreasonably low, and that perhaps you should consider raising it to a level that is more realistic.

EDIT: Recent RL prices for oil have been high, recently going over $65 a barrel in the US, though this is more due to oil oligopolies than realistic costs in mining, shipping, and refining. A realistic cost for a barrel, assuming you have no outrageous political/economic/social issues to hamper production, would be in the upper thirties-lower forties a barrel.

We will buy one billion barrels of oil for 20 billion dollars.

And we also would like to buy four fields for 200,000 dollars.

Thank you.

~Albert Francis, Minister of Transportation, Jaredcohenia

OOC: My apoligies. I was merely saying that the price is unreasonably low, and that perhaps you should consider raising it to a level that is more realistic.

OOC:I want to raise it but not to high where I get the reverse complient. Is around 40-50 good?


IC: We accept Jaredcohenia order for the barrels but we would like to know what kind of fields do they wish to purchase? Goverment owned or those owned by a coperation?

OCC:

Greetings from the Republic of Ackistan!

Our nation wishes to purchase 1,000,000 barrels of oil to be shipped to us by sea.

Additionally, our government wishes to purchase 10 oil fields, and our private sector wishes to purchases 6 more.

We agree not to use your oil to fuel attacks against your nation or your allies. Of course, we request a list of nations that you consider allies, so we do not accidently break our promise by mistake.

Best wishes,
Angelina Whittaker
Secretary of State

Ackistan's total amount equals to 20,000,000 millon dollars. Like the country before you we would like to know if you are purchasing from goverment or private owned land.

We wish to purchase the government owned oil fields. $20,800,000 has been wired to your account.

The Under Empire requests a purchase of three billion barrels of oil for 120 billion dollars.

OOC: That covers the fields to right?

IC:

We thank Ackistan for its purchase and will be shipping the barrels to your country withen the next 48 hours.


We accpect The Under Empire's offer and once the money is wired the barrels will be shipped to your nation.

Money wired

Thank you for this swift transaction.

[Three Claws General Kitch]

Expect your shipment to arrive in 48 hours or less.

We are sorry, we meant government fields.

Actually, can we make that 20 fields?

Thank you.

~Albert Francis, Minister of Transportation, Jaredcohenia

THe price of 20 fields is 1 million. We hope this is accpectable. Once the money is wired we shall ship you your oil and get your deeds for the land up. Thank you for your purchase.

The money, a total sum of 20,001,000,000 dollars and 42 cents have been wired.

Thank you.

Thannk you for your Purchase. You deeds will arrive tommorrow and shipment should take 2-3 days with all the other coutries shipments going out.

A private Errikan oil company would like to purchase 25 oil fields. Based on the price of $1 million for 20, 25 should be $1.25mil, yes? That money can be wired immediately.

Zackaroth is thinking about selling oil to Errikland due to it support of Blackhelm and is leaning on not allowing it to purchase oil until the whole Blackhelm/Griffen Corp siuation is over and done with.

Zackaroth is thinking about selling oil to Errikland due to it support of Blackhelm and is leaning on not allowing it to purchase oil until the whole Blackhelm/Griffen Corp siuation is over and done with.

The official position of the Errikan government towards the Griffincrest Corporation is that of neutrality, and we have yet to violate said neutrality.

Having considered the matter further, we believe your nation is offering the bargain of a lifetime.

We wish to invest up to $10,000,000,000 towards purchasing government oil fields provided you have 200,000 oil fields to sell.

We also wish to invest $2,000,000,000 towards puchasing your oil assuming you have 100,000,000 barrels of oil to sell us.

Secretary of Commerce

The High council of Zackaroth has decided not to sell Errikland oil until the conflict with Blackhelm and Griffen Corp is over. We still remeber seeing your troops when we invaded No Tax.
To Ackistan:

We are sorry. We do not have and would sell 200,000 oil fields but we will sell you the $2,000,000,000 worth of oil for you.

We would like 20 oil fields. Thank you.

Of course we will take the oil, but we wish to know if you are able to sell us any additional oil fields?

We would like 20 oil fields. Thank you.

-The Mandalore.

We refuse to sell to your nation because of it being in the CA and currently at war with the nations we consider friendly.


To Ackistan:

The fields are somewhat getting cluttered. We wren't execpting this much need for oil and did prepare. You are still welcomes to but keep it at a reasonable range.

The High council of Zackaroth has decided not to sell Errikland oil until the conflict with Blackhelm and Griffen Corp is over. We still remeber seeing your troops when we invaded No Tax.

We are curious as to why you will not deal with us until a conflict that we are completely neutral in is over, though you sell to others who are neutral.

And the Errikan government has no troops in any area known as No Tax.

(OOC: I believe you are referring to No Mans Landia. The Errikan Government has no people there, either. In fact, most of the troops that the mercenary company is using are not even ethnically Errikan)

Understood.

Would you consider 20 additional government oil fields to be reasonable? Should you gree, the $1,000,000 will be wired to you immediately.

We wonder why you deny our request? may we ask who your "allies" are since you haven't cleared that up?"
-Mandalore

To Maldorians:

We said friendly not allies. Even so you have attacked Icovir and that is consider an ally of Zackaroth. You are also apart of the CA. We refuse to sell oil to them since they seem to have enough of it from smaller nations.

To Ackistan:

Yes that is ok. Once the money is wired we will send you your deeds.

To Errikland:

Under consideration we have redecided to let you purchase oil and fields here in ZAckaroth. Sorry for the inconvience.


(( Sorry for the mix up dude))

Yes, when did I assault Icovir? I was going to but BC took my place. The only thing that i remember is Icovir getting ready to attack my capital.

OOC: I think you need to learn what OOC and IC is because its gets annoying trying to figure out in what context that is.

IC:

We will not seel oil to CA members. That is our final word. You have ebough oil from the smaller nations you took. Go bother GriffenCrest or Blackhelm or whoever leads that alliance go to them for oil.

Thank you, and no problem.

OOC: Thank you, and no problem.

IC: The Maldorian Empire has not claimed any nation and we have read that you gave oil derricks to many CA members so I don't see where you get that "We will not seel oil to CA members" part.

-The Mandalore

OOC: If your gonna be a jerk about spelling then don't even bother to rp with me


IC: We would like to know to which CA member have we sold oil to?

ooc:what did I spell wrong,"jerk"

IC: The Maldorians have noticed that Ackistan has been a member of the CA and received oil derricks.

We have looked at our list and have not seen Ackistan's name anywhere on that list. This is our list:


Griffincrest Corporation, Blackhelm Confederacy
Toopoxican Organisation, Toopoxia

OOC: Ackistan is a non-aligned nation.

The Secular Empire of Maraque wishes to purchase 40 government-owned oil fields, for a total price of $2,000,000.

The Socialist Kingdom of Kopparbergs would like to sign a contract giving us the right to buy 150 billion barrels of crude oil per year for the next three years.

Our bid is $33/barrel.

Werner Moltov

Zackaroth,

Ackistan currently own 36 of your government oil fields. We wish to know if you are willing to sell us any more? Essentially, we are willing to purchase as many as you are willing to sell us.

Ackistan:

The ZAckarothian goverment would like to know if the Maldorian's claims of you beinging in the CA is true. While we supect you of nothing we believe we might have an outdated list.

The Clandonian Corporation would like to possibly constuct a terminal for oil exports we are prepared to meet all construction costs and we will provide security.

As an ally of the Dominion Commonwealth we hope our nations can establish this economic agreement.

As previously stated, Ackistan is a non-aligned nation. We have never belonged to any alliance. However, we have relations with many nations. Some of those nations belong to alliances including the Corporate Alliance. However, our nation has no history of aggressive behavior, which I believe is what you are looking to avoid.

The Clandonian Corporation would like to possibly constuct a terminal for oil exports we are prepared to meet all construction costs and we will provide security.

The Zackarothian goverment has authorized this move rather quickly trusting and ally of the Common Wealth. You may begin your construction as soon as you can.

Our planning teams will be on the way now, we look forward to begining oil extraction to fuel our blazing economy.

We have no problem with this. We are sorry for bothering Ackistan for this small and rather annoying matter. We just do not wish to give the CA more fuel for its war effort. While we remain out of it we do not wish to give it any more power than it already has.

ENCRYPTED MESSAGE

Greetings from the Republic of Ackistan!

Our nation requests you deny Cladnonia Prime access to your nation's oil. On a number of occasions that nation's membership in the Dominion Commonwealth has been jeopardized by their aggressive behavior, WMD use, and willingness to target enemy civilians.

Should you supply this nation with oil, we have no doubt it will be used to fuel their war machine. Their young nation has already killed using nuclear and chemical weapon, acted aggressively towards peaceful nations, and wiped out the capital of a helpless third world nation using orbital weaponry.

Given past behavior, we believe it is not in your best interest or ours for Clandonia Prime to gain a foothold in your nation. Should you agree, we are willing to compensate your nation for whatever financial loss you may suffer by not doing business with the Clandonians.

Best wishes,
Angelina Whittaker
Secretary of State

WE do realize this. We have heard of Clandonia's attacks on other nations. But we will be watching them carefully. Should they do anything that greatly displeases us we will cut off all oil and order them to deconstruct there terminal.

To Clandonia:

We noticed your nation is very War happy. Let this be known: Even though you are an ally of the Common Wealoth, we will make sure you never ever touch Zackarothian oil again if you WMD's to cause massive destruction on an unesscary scale like you have done before. We will allowyou stay but under a watchful eye.

To Zackaroth,

Our WMD's have only ever been used in retalition for a WMD attack on our armed forces or civillians, times before the Dominion Days.

How many more wells are available?

To Clandonia Prime: WE understand but be known you are under a watchful eye.


Around 100-150/200 wells are left.

We have no problem with this. We are sorry for bothering Ackistan for this small and rather annoying matter. We just do not wish to give the CA more fuel for its war effort. While we remain out of it we do not wish to give it any more power than it already has.


ENCRYPTED MESSAGE

We are not offending one bit. Allowing a foreign nation to do business within your borders is a difficult decision, and we understand the scrutiny involved.

Thus far, we have purchased 36 of your government oil fields. We believe your prices to be very reasonable, and wish to buy as many more as you will allow. In fact, if you agree to allow us to purchase 100 total oil fields, we will offer you $1 billion dollars, which is well beyond your asking price. Our nation has no oil deposits of your own, and gaining access to a reliable supply in a well defended nation is not an opportunity we have often.

To Clandonia Prime: WE understand but be known you are under a watchful eye.

Errikan Private interests would like to purchase 100 of said wells. Thank you.

The Corporation will take the rest of the wells, we wil offer you a 20% of our profits to your nations government.

THe country of Zackaroth will sell the rest ogf the 200 oil fields left to the highest bidder within in 24 hours(( LIke 3 hours RL)). WE wish you luck on your bidding.

$40 Billion is our companys final offer.

If you are willing to pay $2 billion per oil field, we are willing to sell you the deeds to the 36 we have purchased.

Wooo, I ment to put $40 billion LOL!

For $200 million per oil field, we are still willing to sell the 36 we have purchased. They can be yours immediately for $7.2 billion.

'The Corporations board of directors agrees, the sum of $7.2 billion will be wired to the Ackistani Government.'


The Corporations oil deployment teams took ground, backed up by their own military forces they often called in the Clandonian military for possible defence.

The ones I sold you were government oil fields, which means they are protected by the Zackaroth government. I dunno that buying these oil fields allows you to send troops to his nation.

Goverment fields are protected by Zackaroth military. You may bring addntional defense but no more then 100 army personal on an oil field at any one time. And it may only be troops. We will not allow tanks and such.

Zackaroth, is it safe to assume that the oil fields you sold mefor $50,000 don't contain $200,000,000 in oil?

Just curious if I made a good deal or not.

Uh..I am not really sure. I think it depends on how much oil was pumped and such.

Errikan Private interests would like to purchase 100 of said wells. Thank you.

Any responce to this? I said it right before CP started offering to buy everything.
