Welp.I vote yes for both iBrow's tax bills.-Teezy

[JiMing]

Like canned Sardines?Anyways, I'll buy that 1 Ruki. Also, JiMing, just a tip - You are practically the only food source right now - You can sell for much more and still get paid. But not too much, or else I'll have to draft up law saying something about it. After all, I am a Virtuous citizen, and I need to make u guyz happeh!

I know, but I'm a nice Businessmatoran! All I need is no competition in the market, which I currently have! Hooray!And I'll make another Canned Ruki.Congratulations, by the way, for being the first person to buy this new product!

[Kohrak Kal17]

I promptly buy the Canned Ruki.--KK17

Purchases and food eating processed.EDIT: Regarding iBrow's "bills," as I mentioned previously, it seems to me his post was simply suggesting bills rather then actually placing a final version to a vote, and they were not written up properly. But should they both be passed this is how they will read:"There is a 10% sales tax, rounded up to the nearest widget, and the money earned from the sales tax goes into the national bank.""Divide half of the money in the national bank amonst the government, military and policematoran every two weeks, starting on the day this bill was passed."Since the first "bill" doesn't exactly specify how the sales tax is imposed or what it involves, my assumptions under the current text would mean every time an item is transferred in exchange for widgets, the senate would automatically take an amount of widgets (equal to ten percent of the original widget transfer) from the person transferring the widgets to the National Bank.

So it seems like I'm not getting the coins for my first contract. Will somebody else propose one maybe? I'm starving here... http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/blush.png As we learned from this last murder, it's pretty easy to get away with them when you're attacking someone without weapons.

@ JiMing- It's been 1 week. Please give me 2 food items.Zakaro

[JiMing]

I give Zakaro 2 bread loaves.Sorry about that.

[Samus Aran-Bounty Hunter]

It's ok. Just wondering, do the military get paid? Because I need some money..Zakaro

[Portalfig]

No military don't get paid. Why? BECAUSE MOAR MONIES FOR MEEEEEEEE :PIn all seriousness, IDK.I would like to buy some bread, and guys I still have a home item for you to buy.

[Kohrak Kal17]

Military does not get paid atm, for there has not been any legislation regarding that.I don't think that's as important right now. We need to have a stable economy to tax first.--KK17

[Toarobot18]

Bread transfer processed. Foreign update pending (I'll edit this post if nobody else posts first). Food eating processed.

[shadow pridak money gang]

I'm curious to see the state of foreign affairs.-Teezy

[Toarobot18]

Foreign Nations' Relations Update VNORTHRAXXSTATUS: NeutralOFFICIAL NEWS: NonePRESS REPORT: "News from Northraxx: Northraxx Supreme Inc. is said to be announcing plans later this month for a new weapon for sale to the general public: the Type 038 Disk Launcher. While not as sophisticated as the Type 039 currently in mass production for military use, this new technological development would present an affordable step forward from the Type 037."EASTLANDSTATUS: FriendlyOFFICIAL NEWS: "Minister Delruno attended an Eastlandish memorial ceremony for Senator The First Evo today, expressing his solidarity with the people of BZ Nui."PRESS REPORT: "Elections for the new Turagan Minister of Foreign Affairs are approaching, and Minister Delruno is already campaigning, toting his harsh stance on Westarhk and his domestic crackdown on crime."WESTARHKSTATUS: HostileOFFICIAL NEWS: "In an example of the spectacular success of Westarhk civil planning, crime and corruption in Telanui have dropped by over 68% in just the first few weeks of the new government."PRESS REPORT: "Truth of Westarhk reporters in Telanui have revealed that hundreds of matoran have been secretly crossing the battle lines between Westarhk and Soson forces, in hopes of a better life under Westarhk leadership."SOSO NUISTATUS: FriendlyOFFICIAL NEWS: "President Elwaho announced the Volunteer Defense and Weapons Collection Program today, a new agency dedicated to rearming the Soson Military to retake Telanui and prevent against further attacks. The President said that private citizens world-wide are encouraged to send money or weapons to Soso Nui for the cause, or even volunteer to assist in the defense itself."PRESS REPORT: "The Fruieto Company shut its doors today after seven hundred years of delivering fresh fruit products."Brightpaw: A representative from Westarhk has expressed interest in purchasing your Zamor Revolver from you for 25 widgets, and investing another 25 widgets in your company with the understanding that Westarhk would get a special price for more sophisticated weapons that your company develops in the future.The same representative announces that Westarhk will purchase J6 rifles from BZ Nui citizens for 55 widgets each.Also, is it just my luck that BZPower goes offline the exact same second I originally finished writing this post a little while ago?

[Trijhak]

I take it that Westarhk is a totalitarian place with a ton of propaganda, with a press report that isn't exactly true. It's probably the other way around. People don't just crawl into places like Westarhk. Anyway, I would like to buy 2 canned ruki and 2 bread. I think that's 26 widgets?

[JiMing]

First I have to make them.So I do.

[Toarobot18]

Product creation processed.

[Let's Henshin!]

Anyone willing to donate food, I've got 7 widgets, due to the Military not getting paid.

[JiMing]

Showing off my charitableness, I create two bread loaves and give them to Onarax, free of charge.

Edited March 20, 2012 by Belonephobia

[Let's Henshin!]

Thank you so much.

[JiMing]

It's my pleasure to help out a citizen in need.

[thelonewander]

i would like to buy a canned ruki from Jming

[JiMing]

Geez, why does everyone want my stuff when I haven't made it?Also, spell my name right.

[Toarobot18]

Onarax's product creation and transfer processed. Thelonewander: JiMing charges 7 widgets for Canned Ruki, you only have 6.

[JiMing]

.....Anyone here?I'll create one loaf of bread to break the dust.

[Clone Commander Cody]

I'll buy Belonephobia's loaf of bread.

[Toarobot18]

Alright, time to breath new life into this game. The past two transactions are processed. I will also soon be processing which players achieved their goals. Since we got off to a slow start I will be rather lax in that regard. Also, we will be Determining Positions again soon.

[JiMing]

So a restart?

[Toarobot18]

No, it's supposed to take place every two months anyway, just another cycle of elections. As for the goal assessments, those are supposed to be monthly.

[Let's Henshin!]

What happened to Wind closing this topic?

[Samus Aran-Bounty Hunter]

I think TR18 convinced Wind that this wasn't RPing.Zakaro

[Parazan]

Sounds interesting.Sign me up.

[Toarobot18]

You're in, and BZRepublic has another businessmatoran. I've also got to find The First Evo and see if he wants to return, since he's been dead for awhile. By the way, I'm processing food tonight.

[Parazan]

Alright, looks like I need some possessions, so here they are:Rahi business (selling Rahi), 1 So So BroadcasterX, Rahi, Pet Tanks (the ones you keep animals in).

[Toarobot18]

So So BroadcasterX purchased. There are no rahi businesses. Just food, home, communication, and weapons. Check out the Business section of the Full Rules (post no. 6) for details.EDIT: BZRepublic Goal results have been PMed. Remember, you're not allowed to reveal your goal via screenshots. In other news, FrozenFlash starved to death yesterday.

[- JL -]

So we have renewed goals?When and where?

[-Toa Lhikevikk-]

No, he's just filling us in on how well we've implemented our goals.

[Toarobot18]

Yes, and those who completed their goals this cycle have been rewarded. A new Foreign Nations' Relations Update will come soon, and it's time for Determining Positions again (in other words, another election cycle). Take this time to campaign for the presidential spot if you're interested. If you currently hold a government position, it's still yours until the moment your successor is elected/appointed. This means that if you're a policematoran, you would be able to perform that role through most of the Determining Positions process, since policematoran are voted for last.Also, since new players who joined now would get a chance to go for a position, if you have any friends considering the game, the best time is now. I'm still offering 40 widgets for recruiters.

[Burnmad]

I'll rerun for president. Won't be able to do much without a comms device though. So someone need to, ya know, donate one.

-

[Portalfig]

I will donate my comms device to Burnmad in exchange for.. something.Can I secure myself a spot as a senator if I make that a part of the deal?I liek being a senator.

[shadow pridak money gang]

I'm running for president.I did a pretty good job as Senator, and unlike our current president, I wasn't accused of murder of another Senator.-Teezy
