Trading with Fungi (Open MT/PMT)

OOC: Again, the Imperial Fungi account hasn't being able to be activated for some unknown reason and I'm trying my best to fix it. So I'll be playing as Imperial Fungi and I don't want anyone to send anything to Lynion because they won't know what's going on.

IC:

Fungi Master Fugihavx, or nicknamed Jack, was sitting in the Capital City, Fungi Hive, as he waited for his ministers to enter his private chambers. The minator looked around as his comrades entered the room. The carving of the marbal cave pleased him as a photo of himself was placed over the firepiece to the left of the room. His firmly oak table sat in front of him as it was plagued by papers of the economy and sudden find of gold, sliver, natural gases and oil.

"Thank you for coming," started Fugihavx as the others nodded their heads towards him before a Digger came into the room to join them. "Now, unless you haven't heard, we just made a large discovery of gold, sliver, oil, natural gases and a few other minerals like copper and tin. Now the Reserve Stock has being over stocked with gold and sliver in case famine or something worse plagues the land, however, we are mining more than we required and substances we don't require like oil,"

"So what would we do with it?" asked a soft voiced minator.

"If we sell it, Lynion won't take it in because their colony basically supplies them with everything," started the second.

"Agreed," started the Digger as he nodded his head. "Even with the trade with Imperial Australia, we still haven't made a dent in our stockpiles. I suggest we trade with the Outsiders,"

The room was still silent as everyone turned their attention to the Digger. He suddenly felt small as the minator's towered over him even sitting down. The Master Fungi looked at the Digger as he thought about it for a moment. He turned his attentioned to the window that showed the outside lawn and the open blue skies.

"If we trade it with the outside world, then we need to have the military on Rust Alert(Rust Alert=Code Orange). If we're to secure the nation and avoid any attempt of invasion, then we need to have the Port City Bolt ready for foreign freighters to gather the cargo," suggested the Digger.

"I agreed to it," replied the Master Fungi. "For too long we have depended on the nearby nations for support, we need to reach out to the International Community and make a dent of our trade. Digger Karx," started the Master Fungi. "You'll be in charge of the Trading Operations and General Sparro, have the military on Rust Alert,"

"It will be done sir," replied the minator called Sparro as he left the room.

"We should expect the first telegram ever sent from Fungi to reach the World Leaders within an hour at the most sir," replied Karx as he left for the radar station on top of the surface.

1 hour later

Karx had access to all of the resources in the world about the prices of the minerals and the pil they were selling. The Fungi operator's were being instructed how to use the equipment as Karx created the first telegram to be sent from Fungi. He looked up as he smiled to a sparrow as it landed nearby.

"What are you doing?" it asked in a deep voice.

"Its a telegram to world leaders about the selling of our products and to make more money," replied Karx.

"The world spins on money doesn't it?" laughed the sparrow. "For all we know, money could be in the Earth's Core,"

The Minator's laughed at the job as they got back to their job as the main radar station on the island. Karx looked up as he finally finished the pricing and the mint details of the project.


TO: World Leaders and Cooperation
FROM: Imperial Fungi, Minister of Foreign Affairs Karx.

In recent times in Fungi, we have being starting to discover several oil wells, gold, sliver,iron, tin and copper mines which run along our island. We have taken as much of the stock as we can, but it seems a never ending supply of minerals no matter how far we dig or how wide we go. Attach to this telegram is a report about the prices of oil and the quanity as well as the other minerals that we have found.

Oil Prices/Quanity


Minerals Prices

Gold: USD$830 per ounce or $29,880 per kilogram
Sliver: USD$25 per ounce or $900 per kilogram
Tin: USD$15 per ounce or $540 per kilogram
Copper: USD$16 per ounce or $576 per kilogram
Iron: USD$64 per ton

Oil: $45 per barrel

If you wish to buy any of our stock off us, please send a telegram back to: Imperial Fungi, Minister of Foreign Affairs Karx with a return address as well as the number of freighters you are going to send.

Please note: if you require a navy escort, then it can be requested as long its only destoryers and frigates and maybe a handful of submarines. We also have the right to say no to any buyer if they abuse us, make racist remarks about us, demand from us or start requesting stupid prices.

In return, when you send your freighters, please send them to the Port City of Bolt as its the main port on the island, closet to the mines and can harbour more freighters than our other ports. Please notify that we will be loading the ore and/or oil onboard your freighters.

We hope to hear from you soon.

OOC: So basically, Fungi has struck it big time and there's an overflow of gold, iron, tin, copper and oil. Please note that the tin, copper and iron ore prices are rough guess of what it might be on the market. Also don't send a telegram back to Lynion because they don't have the mining sites or oil fields.

OOC: I wonder what are bumps for and btw BC is going to look for you.
Lynion
01-09-2008, 12:15
OOC: That guy? I'm not worried about him. Besides, I wish him luck anyway. Bumps are for threads that have goen out of reach and I think they haven't reached any higher than four bumps. After four bumps the thread dies I think.

Lynion
01-09-2008, 12:27
OOC: I think its time he knows not everyone is going to give BC free oil. No I haven't gotten out of reach just yet. It'll be three against one if BC comes. (that's a bluff at this moment. Its more likely to be one on one)

OOC: I mean, is it like when it got to page 3 & beyond or what, then you have to bump, to keep this thread alive, ya?
Lynion
01-09-2008, 12:39
OOC: I'll only do it if its required. If on the fourth time no-one replies within a day, the thread is considered dead. Now, I don't mind the chatter, but if you wish to buy something, then please say so.

The Kingdom of the Royal British States would like 100000tons of iron and 200000 barrels of oil.


Money is wired to you.

Karx suddenly looked up as their first customer had come through. The minator went over to the telegram as he picked it up and return to the front desk to do the maths. A small sparrow entered the room as he noticed the telegram.

"Inform the port to allow Royal British States Navy Freighters to enter the port," started Karx. "They want 100 thousand tons of iron ore which is at $64 a ton and 200 thousand barrels of oil which is selling at $45 per barrel,"

"So really its our first major pay day," replied the sparrow.

"Its only... USD$15.4 million. I want you to inform the port about the situation and get a report about the mining and the drilling," ordered Karx.

TO: Royal British States
FROM: Imperial Fungi, Karx

Thank you for the offer and our freighters will be making this trip. However, if you wish to buy anymore, it'll be required of you to send your own freighters to the port city to pick up the products in future. Sorry if this does anything towards you.

OOC: I'm trying to get Fungi to trade with the world thats all. Its usually a independent country on itself and sometimes on the countries nearby.

OOC: So hold a trade conference - offering out oil and other commonly found raw materials (at least, so common in NS it's ridiculous) is getting clichéd - take, for example, this nation. It has fairly good deposits of coal, oil (but not enough to cover it's use, so we have to import a little), excellent reserves of tin, and ample fishing. Now, that's not particularly hot, but the manufacturing of high-precision instrumentation and materials (i.e. spheres for spacecraft, medical equipment, aircraft parts, etc.) easily makes up - in return, we have barely any bulk manufacture - cars, trains, etc.

Perhaps it's because I'm trying to be wholly realistic, but I'd like to see a return to nations that don't make everything or have so many raw materials it hurts.

[/rant]

So yah, why not hold a trade conference instead? They seemed to disappear around the time of z0mg threads - myself and Canbany are planning to hold a joint one (we're both RS nations), but the invitation is open...

OOC: That's cool. I might see it in the morning because I'm in Australia. Also, would you mind if someone from Lynion comes?

OOC: Open invitation, after all - but remember, you're expected to act reasonably - that is, no threatening us with war if we don't hand over resources, etc (not that I'm accusing you of doing it, but it's not exactly unknown).
Lynion
01-09-2008, 14:33
OOC: I'm not an idoit plus I really don't need that to be seen as me. I'm sure as mature nations we can find a way. Thanks for the help by the way.

Dear Government of The Fungi,

We request that you hand over 30% of your national oil reserve. We are open to negotiations, and will begin them as soon as your nation is prepared. We are well prepared to use force, and vessels have already embarked towards your maritime border. We await your reply.

Sincerely,

Claudius Griffincrest

"Runner!" shouted Karx as he read the request before the runner comes in. "We just got a threat, have the military on Code Blood (Code Blood=Code Red),"

"Will be done sir!" replied the runner as he left.

"I want all port cities to be ready for possible attacks and get word out to VATO HQ and request that they be ready to aid us if Blackhelm Confederacy comes after us," Karx ordered to a nearby operator.

The radar station came alive as operators were dealing with the situation. Karx had a feeling that this was going to go bad. Nevertheless, they weren't going to be bullied into some older nation just because they can make demands.

TO: Blackhelm Confederacy
FROM: Imperial Fungi, Karx

We will not simply hand over 30% of our oil reserve just because you request it. In response to this, we're going to be slightly kind to you. If you want oil, you'll have to pay the price of the other customers. We simply don't hand oil out to just some foreign outsider. Anyhow, if use a clamer approach, I can put this aside and we can sell you the oil you require.

Reaction from VATO

"What did you say?" demanded Vamperial Grand Headmaster Woff.

"BC has requested that Fungi hands over 30% of its oil supplies without payment," replied Lee as they stood in the marbal hallways of the Vamperial Order.

"Grrr..." replied Woff. "Alright..."

"Sir!" shouted a runner as he stormed into the hallway panting. "Orbital Batteries Werewolf, Vampire and Overlord have spotted BC warships inbound to Fungi,"

"They're what?" snapped back Woff.

"Sir, Fungi is requesting that VATO is to aid them," came another runner.

Woff turned around for a moment as he thought about it. Vamp and Taishi Ci were away for the time being and Michael was left to run the kingdom. However, because of the lack of leadership Michael has, Woff would have to take command of all VATO Forces not Michael if they were to win this war if it came to it.

"I'll send a telegram to them," replied Woff

TO: Blackhelm Confederacy
FROM: Vamperial Alliance Treaty Organisation, Vamperial Grand Headmaster Woff

It has come to my attention that you intend to take Fungi's oil supplies. This is a violation for everything we stand for. You can't simply demand and expect them to turn around. We also picked up your warships inbound to Fungi if they don't bow to your requests. To respond to this, we are prepared to go to war unless you do two things:

1) Turn your ships around and go home!
2) Withdraw your demands from Fungi and send an apologie back to them

I know you won't be stupid but here are what to expect if you don't go by the conditions

1) We'll sink your navy to the ocean depths
2) We'll blast your men apart

The government of the Blackhelm Confederacy was quite confused when they were threatened, told to apologize, and accused of making threats. The Chancellor, at first, assumed it was merely a mistake, and that it should have been sent to another nation. Just to make sure, however, he wrote back.

"To Mr. Woff,

?

Sincerely,

Lucius Blackhelm"


Meanwhile, the Griffincrest fleet, having not recieved a response, began making preparations to storm Fungi.

OOC: One last thing, Blackhelm Confederacy, Fungi won't be giving quarters to your men and I do mean, they take no prisoners. RBS, this would've pulled you in because you wanted to become part of VATO. When the thread appears, come to Fungi and this is going to be a badass naval battle!
