Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Trying to bring a tank to life would be difficult, but we might be able to figure out a way. I understand why you're concerned, but if that does happen, hopefully it'll be a friendly tank. If you're still interested in selling us tanks, feel free to bring it up to Neville, my new Defense Minister. We've been thinking about strengthening our military, just in case the next coup doesn't end so peacefully.

Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do
And I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Nah, I like to think of Wily as either a fervent Pink Floyd fan (or whatever this universe's equivalent is), or an avid 80's new wave listener (A-Ha, Cyndi Lauper, Dead or Alive). Or both really.

Talented, isn't it?
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, can you refrain from mentioning space things in the CG IC. Since this world is MT, none of that stuff existed in our canon.
Hey Bax, Unf would like to purchase exclusivity on the MBT-90.
He's offering good money, too.
Got a counter-offer my dude?
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
How much money?
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Lavan, for fµck's sake, you come back to life and end up liking a 50 day old comment :p
Jaslandia, Lavan Tiri, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica
I mean, I didn't exactly say Kumania had starships though. I just said the ability to have starships no longer exists because of international treaty banning them. Like Kumania could've been trying to develop them thus creating a separate branch of its military and channeling most defense spending funds to the development of starships instead of bettering the other branches of the Kumanian military thus leaving those other branches weaker, and then all of it being a waste of money when the ban went into effect. My post said absolutely nothing that Kumanian starships were ever created; just that there was a time a few years prior to the present day in rp where the Kumanian military invested most of its funds in developing starships thus wasting those funds when the starships were not developed because of the international treaty banning starships.
Lavan Tiri
Oh, misunderstood. I thought you were saying they had starships, but couldn't use them because of treaty. That line "No longer having the legal ability to use starships meant that the Kumanian government needed to focus once again on the conventional branches of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. All of those branches had suffered financially and technologically when the government prioritized the now defunct Space Force" threw me off
Lavan Tiri
It's all good. In the ESU, I actually did have starships. But for the Confederacy I've edited my nation's lore to only have it be that there was a phase when the Kumanian government invested in the development but didn't actually achieve their goal. I mean sure I could've written out starships all together but I liked it when I had them so Ima at least keep it in where my nation at least tried to get them lol.

Hmm...
Well, no official bid has been placed...but this isn't just buying the rights to the tank, either.
This is the cost of buying
1) Prefered Customer status -important for future projects where I might just pick you because it's you-
2) The whole family of vehicles -IFV, Infantry carrying vehicles, Emergency Medical Vehicles, Armoured Recovery vehicles...the whole shebang from that family-
3) Let's say....twenty Boron Nitride plate sets? ;)
4) 1,000 KPS
5) Future innovations, maintenance and upgrades to those vehicles.
And lastly, a ten percent discount on your next purchase.
Naturally, this whole deal just doesn't come cheap, so lets set the price tag for those pretty things at about twenty billion, and let's see some bidding, boys ;;;)))
Note: my god I've become a whore for money that isn't even real
Lavan Tiri
I'll sell some of my older stuff to black markets in the Pirate Kingdoms to pay for most of this. Of course, I should keep that under wraps, but I'll take it.
Lavan Tiri
For the love of all that is holy, please sell it to the Free State Forces: last thing we need is one of the Somali states or God forbid the Ardayga rolling around the Somali territories in tanks. Also, most of the equipment sans weapons and armor are from the Soviet era (or the equivalent of one), so newer Western hardware is heavily sought after by all state factors :p

I'll start the bid at 25 billion.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
50 billion
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
10 trillion
Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
We're using actually good numbers
Also, Kal may not sell to y'all because CaDS uses hollowpoints and Mag, you have essential slavery.
Also, did you ever respond to my post? The website's blocked at school, so I can't see
Lavan Tiri
I was driving to Orlando from Miami for 4 hours straight, dude. Gimme a break
Alright, how about 80 quadrillion
Merlinton, Lavan Tiri
I'm not mad or anything, I'm just wondering
Yes, because "80 quadrillion" are really real, realistic numbers. My bid is 99 quintilion quintilion
Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Magnatronia
You drive a hard bargain
Merlinton, Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia
Post self-deleted by The Cross And Davids Star.
Back to realistic amounts, 5 trillion.
Lavan Tiri
Or bomb them all and take it for free :3
Lavan Tiri, Aghrabia, Penguania And Antarctica
yeah, why not? it's your decision.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
BTW I stopped using hp rounds in favor of full metal jackets
Lavan Tiri
No, the UK stands for better things than bombing and all. Check your PM's in Discord btw.
Lavan Tiri
k
Lavan Tiri
That's not realistic, either. You can't (or really just shouldn't) spend all your money on some weapons
Hope you like the largest ITF nation (and the rest of the ITF, too) attacking you for bombing such a close ally. Also, Flynn won't be too happy that you bombed his close ally.
Lavan Tiri, Tserra
I don't even know who you folks wanna bomb? I am just suggesting solutions to your money issues.

Its not just weapons Bax,

They wanna bomb the Kaisereich?
Lavan Tiri
I was directing the arrow to your post, lat.
Latrovia, Lavan Tiri
And whose this ally that Baxten is talking about?
Lavan Tiri
My guess is Kalaron.
Okay, well i dont even know where Kalaron is on the map :P
Bax is rather correct, I'd place the value of the system to be closer, roughly, to three trillion at most...which is also what I'm capping it at.
Yup, bomb the tanks to get them and a service plan for free.
Yup /s.
Good.
Now work on that chemical weapon problem and a deal we can make.
*Destroys all sarin canister* What Problem?
So what do you want for this, cause this is a good a$$ deal
Yes
Magnatronia
[nation=short]Baxten[/nation], um is it okay for the Kaisereich to increase it's national borders by occupying little by little France?
I mentioned how it was OK to increase land in a non-claimed area, but you just can't take an entire country. I mentioned it in the dispatch. Also, Lavan let France take Catalonia, so that happened.
Lavan Tiri
Ok Nr. 95 is not taken, can I have it?
Lavan Tiri
It's a joke. I just don't like the fact how the Reich expands occupying lands that could be given to other regional members.

Can I even take any territory? I think last time I checked, I was completely surrounded
Post self-deleted by Latrovia.
Gonna start replying to everyone's posts regarding me on the forums btw
Lavan Tiri
Lat, I know you want the map under government/your control, but this isn't a one-time rule. France is still claimable, and Burgundy was never going to become a separate spot regardless.

Ludania, Penguania And Antarctica
That has nothing to do with what I am talking about. And I never said that I want the map to be under the governments control. But every now and then, I see a country getting smaller, other countries getting bigger and whoever is gonna claim France, they will have claimed half of it because the Reich occupied the rest of the territory.
For instance, since the previous owner of France left the area, I don't remember seeing a notification that France is free for someone else to occupy.
I said it was. Twice
If you did, I stand corrected then.
Hey, back off, France is mine
Vive la democratie!
Damn Latrovians.
Hey, I don't know where you're getting these world domination ideas from, but you should totally back down *sweats profusely*
Aghrabia, Magnatronia
Gee, lookin pretty nervous there Bax,
got something on your mind?
Damn Robots.
Due to the possibility of N-Day (Nuke day) being an annual possibility, we have come up with the idea of creating a joint alliance/faction if such thing occurs. We've set up a straw poll that is accessible to all allies of AEGIS. http://www.strawpoll.me/12716209
Penguania And Antarctica
There's something about baxten that always felt offkilter with me, but I can't put my finger on it...
You should claim a map spot. China may reopen soon, if I don't get a response from Estaris
Penguania And Antarctica
Frankly, my priorities have changed.
I'm going to leverage it for some things...
As an example, I plan to cut the price by five billion -asking price is still 20bil- and attempt to get a unique "friendly" status among the USCS.
This would allow for Kalaron to establish up to three mines inside of the USCS per year -Kalaron would, however denote one fourth of the materiel extracted, with certain exceptions-, as well as Deep Isolation Scientific Research Posts inside the nation.
Kalaron could also be given protection by the USCS in the event of an invasion by a third party.
So...got anything special to offer? ;)
That, and the ability to use ITF cargo ships to transport your weapons no cost.
Swords to ploughshares!
Against militarization in our world.

Plot 91, the plot between you and Minnesota Dakota containing New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio, is currently available, and annexing it would nearly double your nation's population. So you can try to take that territory if you want to. I already lowkey think of it as your territory somewhat.

Oh, and [nation=short]baxten[/nation] and [nation=short]magnatronia[/nation], the only way to conquer the panama canal would be through a naval invasion due to the impossibility of traversing the Darien Gap, it took a jeep 2 years to cross it, imagine mobilizing an army.
Alongside fortifications; remember, the Viper threat is slowly giving Sentinel Vahara more and more power; imagine the Andreallic terror of a united, pro-magnatronia North America.
