Auction for JASO

[Prince Ísur-Ai]

Can we actually make bids?

[Bacchus]

Bids? At an auction? Whoever heard of such a thing in Shireroth?

[Prince Ísur-Ai]

Well whatever it's called....

I'm no native speaker. arggghhh.

or...

are you just messing with me? :P

[Bacchus]

I mess.

[Andreas the Wise]

By my clock its another 2 hours 20 minutes until a week is fully passed and the auction can officially begin. And what a tumultuous week it was ...

[Andreas the Wise]

Now the auction's open. The Nelagan Department of Greed (DoG) open the bidding at 100 µ.

[Kostalan Rottsaa]

...what is µ?

[Andreas the Wise]

µ = Jasoni, the Nelagan name for the SC United Currency.

EDIT: Sorry, typed the wrong name.

[Kostalan Rottsaa]

I hope you don't mind if I juts call it erb.

JHI bids 300

[Prince Ísur-Ai]

The Prince of Elw bids 500 erb.

[Andreas the Wise]

N-DOG bids 1000 µ.

[Prince Ísur-Ai]

Prince of Elw, 1200 erb

[Andreas the Wise]

N-DOG, 1500 µ.

[Prince Ísur-Ai]

Prince of Elw, 2200 erb.

[Kostalan Rottsaa]

JHI, 1750

[Andreas the Wise]

Enough of this gay banter.
EDIT: Which is a Monty Python quote, and meant to be taken as a joke because there hasn't, in fact, been any happy banter up until this point. I don't know, people these days, always leaping to the worst conclusion, I didn't expect some kind of Spanish Inquisition.


N-DOG, 5000 µ.

[Prince Ísur-Ai]

Watch your language!

5500 erb from the gentleman with the camp hair.

[Kostalan Rottsaa]

Enough of this gay banter.

I advise you watch your tongue, friend. You may find yourself insulting a few people around these parts if you're not careful how you express yourself...

[Andreas the Wise]

It was a Monty Python reference. John Cleese line, from "And Now For Something Completely Different," unless my memory is seriously escaping me. Gay of course meaning happy .

EDIT: Here you are.

N-DOG bids 6000 µ.

[Kostalan Rottsaa]

JHI, 8000

[Andreas the Wise]

You force my hand. N-DOG raises their bid to 10001 µ. We're into the other funds now.

[Kostalan Rottsaa]

Aha, now we are seeing the limits of your wealth.

Before I bid higher, I must first consult my benefactors, to makes sure I do not bid more money than I can muster. Please allow me some time.

[Andreas the Wise]

I think the only wealth we're seeing the limits of is yours, but ok, I agree to give you some more time.

OR DO I?


(yes, yes I do. It'll probably turn out to be stupid, but I do. )

[Kostalan Rottsaa]

Oh no, I have money that has already been pledged, I just don't have explicit control over it at the moment, and am therefore not quite ready to bid what I do not actually own myself.

I think I can safely push the bid, however, to 10500

[Andreas the Wise]

N-DOG, 11000 µ.

[Kostalan Rottsaa]

11500

[Andreas the Wise]

12 000 µ.

[Kaiseress Anandja I]

That's 60% of Nelaga's GNI.

[Andreas the Wise]

Since someone else made the same mistake, I'll correct it. That's 60% of Nelaga's starting capital from citizens who weren't involved in any other nation. We have a number of citizens who were already involved in the SCUC and have pledged funds.

[Kaiseress Anandja I]

Ah. We need a good name for the united economy. I call it that since it is more than just a currency union. Small Commonwealth United Economy perhaps?
