Gosh; I got to be a champion EC gadzillionaire by being a cheap SOB.
Tell me, friend Eadee, tell us all what's so awesome about your rock, why we should want it, why it's better than the other rocks. A good pitch might be worth 500EC to you. ;nodWell, I wrote a whole paper this day to tell you how awesome it is. But then I realised that you have no reason to trust in my words since I'm still a recently joined stranger. So I deleted the file and decided to let seven People talk for me... people you know well for many years.
;deidre; : It took us many years to fully understand Planet... we made mistakes despite all our efforts since planetfall. But finally Planet spoke to and through me. Its different with this Rock. I saw it and it spoke to me instantly. It literally screamed out how awesome it is, and how awesome I will be when I posses it finally. But I am in a symbiosis with planet already, and there is only so much even an enlightened mind can take. So sadly I have to pass on this opportunity.
;yang; : The Rock. In its perfection it mirrors our dreams but at the same time it has a devastating influence on our society. Its awesomeness awakens greed even in those who thought they successfully transcendet any individualism. When we learned about this new threat to our people we instantly sent out all probe teams we could spare to trick the morganites into reaching for the Rock. Finally the day has come when their greed puts the final nail into their coffin.
;zak; : After centuries of study on quantum theory we finally ripped out the heart of mystery in this universe. We were such fools. The Awesomeness of THIS Rock, defies all laws of nature and all laws of quantum mechanics (not to speak of common sense). Yesterday we tried to understand the universe. Today, we have a superior goal. We have to understand THIS Rock at all cost.
;morgan; : The Rock belongs to me. It always did and it always will. The fact that others seem to be in possesion doesn't matter at all, the mere existence of this Rock inspired a new conflict over a single extremely restricted ressource. And conflict leads to action, action requires transaction and it is I who profits from EVERY transaction on Planet. So go for it, give in to your greed and grab it. Finally, it still is mine since it carries out my will at all times.
;santi; : There is no thing in existence that better resembles the virtues of the spartan mind: Be hard. Keep it simple. Be independend. But remember: You do not need to own this Rock to embody its lessons. As soon as you learned all you can from this Rock, you have to show that you do not depend on it either, or else all of its teachings were in vain.
;miriam; : Since the epihany of the Rock we expierience schism in our ranks. The opinions differ a lot, on how this new divine presence of awesome alters our fate, our ways or the ways of the creator himself. Is this Rock the proof for gods existence? Did he create this Rock so heavy that he can't lift it himself but lifts it anyways to proove his omnipotence once and for all? The many questions that arise try to cloud our minds. But finally we all believe that only God knows what reasons he had to send us this Rock, be it a trial or be it a prophet.
;lal; : We have to consider our actions carefully. This recently discovered Rock induces turmoil in the united people of Planet. It may be the greatest test to our skills as peacekeepers. But not only can we handle any future conflicts with confidence if we solve this one, we also have the chance to write history. We live in the days of THE Rock, generations will come and generations will go. But the tales of the actions we take in this time will last for as long as humanity does itself.
2.) That's a pretty dog-on good pitch, what I wanted, and deserves rewarding. I'm gonna make a Bank withdrawal to get my in-pocket liquidity adequate and go have a look...Excellent!
$#@! "ERROR: That item is not up for trade!" It is, too; clicking on Buy Now got me that message.
-Betcha this is over my tech paygrade, but I'll look into it...
FWIW, you'll note that my pocket worth did just increase by 1,000EC. Why don't you gift me the rock and I'll gift you 500EC?[ ]"I am not your personal moneylender, Transcend BUncle."
(As it happens, I'm pretty much the guy in this community you want troubleshooting screenie issues - you will have them if you're not experienced with taking game screenies for forum posting. Protip: boot your graphics program before SMACx, and tab out of the game to paste in - the screenies will look like crap until you close the game and the color palette goes back to normal. If you have GOG SMACX, there's a problem with tabbing out, and I'll need Petek's help, or do some reading...)
DO take care of your boy before taking care of hobbies. ;b;I do, unless its playing with Lego with him, thats taking care of him and a hobby at the same time!
...I need to mention, at this most felicitous of junctures, that I happen to be the proud owner of a Rock that is for sale...These wretched sales pitches do not excite me in the slightest ;buttdance.
It is The Most awesome Stone ever! once owned by the Eadee, the man who sold a plain Shop Rock that does nothing at 100 times his overhead!
For a slightly smaller markup, it can be yours!
