Support action for Eternal (a million is a statistic) Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

As you may remember, in our first serious conflict with another clan, MD, Eternal sacrificed himself for the clan and wrought serious damage to them. Unfortunately his country was destroyed for that and we believe that it would only be right to help his new country by sending aid. (a sum equivalent to your networth seems a fair sum, but you’re free to send a sum to your own liking)

Anyone who would like to help please notify here, with the sum you intend to send.

Since not everyone can send aid at the same time (there are only two trade pact slots), I’ll draw up a list with who sends the aid first. In case it would be a problem to send the entire aid package at once, I’ll set up a time table as well so that it can be spread over several days.

And to set a good example , I’m signing in as first to send aid, amounting to $1.3million in dollars.

I believe the rules dealing with aid packages is limited. The maximum you can send is 20% of a given item. I can send 60,000 Turrets (20% of my total inventory).

That's why I'm making a list and a timetable, so that it can be spread over time. (eg: if someone wishes to send $1.2m but he has no more than $4m at a given time, he can could be given the option of sending $400.000 a day over 3 days)

Support list:
- Colon: $1.3m in cash
- Wittlich: 60.000 turrets

I am offering a package of 13,250 jets for the time being.
Wittlich, 60,000 turrets is some 11M moneywise, has your country grown that much?

Riba, 1% of your NW would be 21.000$ moneywise, you're sending worth something of $2.4m, or over 100% of your NW. Maybe you need some math lessons too.

Support list:

- Colon: $1.3m in cash
- Wittlich: 60.000 turrets
- Ribannah: 13,250 jets

Your right, sending the 60,000 turrets will hurt my networth ... but I figure, what the hell, I can just "suck it up." I don't mind taking a hit on my networth, as long as it stays "in the family" and helps a fellow clan member.

Hmmm, now you may have a point there...maybe I should send him 20,000, see how he handles it, then send 20,000 more if he can afford the upkeep. Then later I can send him the final 20,000 if his infrastructure can support it.

Actually, I would like to hear from Eternal concerning this endevour.

It's true I don't need turrets. Since I am a indy I'll soon have myself over my head in upkeep. Since I will be selling as much of what you give me as I can, you might as well do that and just give me the money. I will also accept food though, and some jets.

BUT, I don't think aid packages can be sent to countries significantly bigger or smaller than your own. I don't know if that's only when you're in the GDI or what.

I think the rule is that you can't send aid to 50% above yourself but I think you can send it down the ladder... this is just to discourage the cheating multies.

And Eli... if you sacrifice your nation to end a war and take some of the enemy with you... maybe we'll talk about aid

I will give 10,000 food and some money... not sure how much yet but put me down for 500,000 dollars... it's not much but it's more than I pay my army. If I make a big sale, I'll pass on some of the profits.

Support list:

- Colon: $1.3m in cash
- Wittlich: unspecified amount of cash.
- Ribannah: 13,250 jets
- Omnigod: 50,000 food
- Lordsofrealms: 5-50M (M = million? - probably not) in cash
- UWaterloo: 10,000 food

Ok, I hope I’m not making this to elaborate or complicated, but let’s do this as followed:

Omnigod and Ribannah open a trade pact with Eternal and send your support.
When either of you is finished, cancel the pact and notify here, so that the next in line can open a pact and send his package. (alternatively, Eternal could cancel the pact and send offer to the next in line straight away, but please do notify here as well)
I’ll be the first one to follow, then Uwaterloo and then LoR.

Anyone who wishes to list to send support himself can still do so.

I already propsed a trade pact with Eternal (A.M.I.A.S.). Do you want me to just go ahead and send my package first, then cancel the pact to open up room for another? Got the ICQ message from Colon....sending my package.

Apparently Wittlich already made a trade pact with eternal. That just means he’s first on the list, with Omnigod. When Witt is finished, Riba follows, then I, Uwaterloo and LoR, as initially planned.

Ok, I sent him a package containing $1,500,000 (the max I was allowed to send). I want to send him more, but by the rules, I have to wait for 23 hours...so do I wait until tomorrow morning and send out another package or do you want me to cancel the pact so that someone else can have a turn? (I can just go to the bottom of the list and wait for my next turn). Any suggestions?

Ok sent Eternal another $1,300,000 for a total of 2.8Million. However, according to the rules, I can't break the trade pact for another 28.1 hours (The minimum time a pact can be ineffect is 72 hours). I can see this is going to be a slow process!
