  1. A bird's bawl shot through to my thoughts.

     

     

     

    Thoughts of a man.

     

     

     

    A man I saw as my soul companion.

     

     

     

    I am not firm on my opinion of this man's soul but his outward looks wring lust from my frail mind. My mind runs in ovals as it thinks of him. Brown tint tops his soul's windows bring out an unknown lust for him. Our lust... I carry my thoughts away from such basic and primal things. I had a lot of work I had to do, I could not think of a good-looking boy. I had to find what I would show to critics of my art. His body would not last, it would contain abstract nothings and burst into billions of shards. That would my good-looking czar that I would show to my critics.

     

     

     

    As critics scour my art for flaws that it must contain, I sit and think of what I wish to show. Him.

     

     

     

    Clapping. An out pour of congratulations. "I am so proud of you!"

     

     

     

    A bad aroma fills my mouth and I start to cry. 

     

     

     

    My passion, a boy, has lost.

    Greetings,

     

    It seems that banks are a "dime a dozen" these days, offering loans with unrealistic interest and giving you a paltry amount for your hard-earned dollar. However, I do not believe that is the way banking or investing should occur on this game. In fact, I believe that we deserve a more robust and interesting environment for people to play around with. As such, I have decided to begin offering my services to you to raise capital, sell products, and invest in the market without having to hold on to giant quantities of cash or commodities.

     

    My products shall include:

    • Market Index Funds
      • These shall include indices based around the production of various commodities and raw materials with financial settlements every week, based on the weekly average price.
        • All index funds begin at a value of $1.00 at time of purchase and track the commodity that they follow. (e.g. You purchase one share of a steel index fund when steel is valued at $1,800. Steel rises $18.  Your shares are now worth $1.01)
        • Maximum investment in these funds is limited to $2,500,000 for the time being.
    • Infrastructure & City Leases
      • Many alliances give out cities and infrastructure. What if you could lease your cities and future income for a set period of time and receive a lump sum today and repay Greenfield Investments or a private investor after the agreed upon period.
        • Income is discounted at rates based upon your age, the number of cities you possess, and your current net income.
        • Infrastructure and City Leases are limited to 25% of your current income multiplied by fourteen days.
        • You are responsible for repairs and other miscellaneous costs associated with the cities while leased. 
    • Futures
      • Do you want to have a guaranteed amount of a commodity delivered to you at a certain date or do you want to lock in the price that you receive for steel? You can order commodities out to 14 days and being paid approximately 103% of market price with a decay of 1.5% per day. Typically in multiples of 1,000.
        • Typically, individuals must demonstrate that they have the capacity to deliver or accept (with full payment) the commodities that they are ordering. 
        • There is a 3% penalty per day if deliveries or acceptances are not made on a reasonable time. After 5 days of non-payment, Greenfield shall collect what it is owed via mercenaries. You shall be responsible for the cost of hiring the mercenaries, a $250,000 Why'd you have to be this way fee, all penalties, and the original amount owed.

     

    Fees and Associated Costs:

     

    Index Fund Daily Expense: 0.50%

    Account Activation Fee: $250,000  $25,000

    Future Contract - Buy Fee: $10,000, plus 35% of purchase price

    Future Contract - Sell Fee: $10,000, plus 35% of purchase price

     

     

     

     

    I shall refine this post and begin offering more products and services as audit season dies down. If you are interested, feel free to shoot me a message in-game or on the forums. 

     

    Yours truly,

  3. The ads are absolute garbage and should be held to a reasonable standard.

     

    Low-effort trolls using Paint and making shoddy ads isn't aiding the game nor does it contribute to the community. 

    Low-effort graphic artists using default filters and terrible blockfont that they found on dafont.com is annoying.

     

    I'd like a way to get the ads to mesh with the site:

     

    three colors: blue,gray,white

    plain serif font, nothing too small (size < 6 pt)

    no personal attacks, informing people of substantial misdeeds would be relatively OK if they could be verified.

     

    I mean, I've got nothing against silly, zany ads (I loved the ads on Starship Trooper, for example) but these are low-effort, I-am-doing-this-because-I-can ads.

  4. They kept declaring war on people and bringing back an additional soldier until they had amassed a large enough army, duh.

     

    Madagascar sends a swarm of malaria carrying mosquitoes that are genetically modified to withstand temperatures as low as absolute zero.

  6. Ventus can destroy whole Galaxies. He is a true God. The Dragon Lord of Steel is his servant. You know nothing of the Dragon Gods. You are ignorant of our faith.

     

    Your faith doesn't exist according to a particular thread here on the forums.
