Can trades of personnel take the form of a percentage of production, e.g., "assign two civilians to Audrey Hepburn's copper mine for 50% of copper produced"?

Are "trades" in exchange for nothing permitted, e.g., "send one scientist to Sophia Loren"?

All business folks tell me what you have to offer, I'm currently looking for everything.

Mostly looking for someone with a school to allow me to train some folks.

ANNOUNCMENT:
I will couterstrike against every aggressor and will rand between 1x;1.5x or 2x the attack strength.
Because this will be my policy, I WILL NOT INVEST ANYTHING AT AL IN GUARDS.

This is all for now, I assume the first "tick" ends at noon GMT?

Oh yeah... just in case anybody's sending me stuff on AIM, I don't have it at work.

So, PM me, or if you have MSN, PM me your handle and we can talk there.

All trades are immidiate unless specified otherwise. Things that require a full number of game days (like schooling) will be cancelled if incomplete. Tradees can be done on an 'after x has completed y' basis.

Assasin/Bomber and guard roles are all immediate. as soon as someone posts 'assasinate X's scientist' all calculations are done from that moment.

MOD NOTE

Actions for assasins, bombers and guards are done via PM to me

ALL OTHER ACTIONS ARE IN THREAD

people can negotiate and discuss strategy arrange deals etc, but no deals can be bolded and no game actions can actually take place for another 5 1/4 hours.

if a bomber os assasin is unsucsesfull, the sender of that game piece will recieve a PM, your assasin/bomber died and was unable to complete his mission.

the person attacked will recieve a similar PM, not ststing who sent the action.

If an action is succesful, I will post in the thread 'Player x's assasin/bomber killed/destroyed player y's z'

Allocate 8 civilians to build a school.
Allocate 1 civilian to begin training to be a guard at my military academy.
Allocate 1 civilian to begin training to be a bomber at my military academy.

Ja?

Announcement: anyone who wants oil, I am accepting offers to work at my rig, terms to be negotiated. I'm reasonable.

Anyone thinking about drilling for oil -- this is likely to be a poor plan for you.

Anyone with an extant oil rig -- PM me, we have things to discuss.

Anyone thinking of attacking my rig -- I will not leave it unguarded. You will lose a bomber, and accomplish nothing. Very -EV.

Oh, right, I signed up for this!

Anyway, I'll PM exactly two of you (randed) with an offer you can't refuse.

Entrepeneurs: I'm loaded, so hit me up if you want some $$$.

I still haven't heard from everybody I asked to talk to. All my plans are on hold until I do. Anybody that sent me offers, they have not been rejected, I need to consider them before I commit to anything.

Allocate 8 civilians to build a school
Allocate 6 civilians to build a military academy

Hitch: is there a limit to the number of students in a school at one time? Can schools teach more than one subject?
