Hang on.

FUN FRIENDS, do we all want that aircraft carrier? Y/N? :?:

I say yes, we want the aircraft carrier.

We should be finishing the FUN conference, so lets get to it. :D

7 billion for the Goddamn Aircraft Carrier.

Shroomania has contributed 10 billion for the FUN Defense Fund. If that's what it takes...

Jeez... 7.5 billion.

Even if it has to take nearly half of the budget next year...

Christ, people. Let Byzantium take the carrier and have the FUN buy 200 heavy fighter-interceptors and infrastructure for them instead :P

Okay. FINE. You can HAVE your stupid aircraft carrier. Are you HAPPY now, Emperor Heraclius? :P

Should we get the Ticos instead? :)

We should probably use the money to build a comprehensive air defence network for the FUN first. Let's start with fighters, airbases, radar and C&C systems. Then fund the deployment of modern mobile SAMs in great numbers, and finally top it off with an ABM shield. Power projection for the FART can wait for the nearest future.

BTW, who is going to keep track of the defense fund? :P

The most qualified mang in town, of course :wink: :D :P

Man, yes. I can't believe we're going through with FART. YES! FART! FART! FART-FART-FART-FART!

I hate you :P

Well, shit. Maybe I'll tally everything up once I'm done with the ISCA.

All those huge purchases form the UKB will really strain capacity :D

Oh, BTW. Shinra pledged one billion shiny us dollars for ISCA. So, the question is...

What do we spend them on? :D

Bear, how many of those floating docks will ya need?

Oh yeah. The both of us have Blackbeard facilities and will be presumably selling MOAR of 'em to the rest of the FUN.

So, I propose that in order to not get sued by Shep or anything, we rename our products from the Blackbeard to the Shroomstache.

Blackbeard was a pirate in real Earth.

Shroomstache was also a pirate. In the Seven Central Seas.

Behold:

How about we build a theme park dedicated to Shroomstache and think up of a more menacing name for the missile? :P

Damn! :lol:

Well, I was thinking it would be disarming if our military stuff gets to have all sorts of silly names. The UAR and the MESS would think it's cute and wouldn't mind our sudden upsurge in defense budgets :P

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they won't mind. Let's take it further and name our super-secret Doomsday Weapon program "Operation Perfume Farts"

:D

Hey, I have Shep parked right at my backyard. :wink:

In return, I'm willing to let ICAS free use of my yards if you need any access capacity. (meaning no rent charges. Bring your own raw materials)

Bean, can I pay like 6.5 or less billion for it then?

I like Blackbeard, furthermore Sheppard won't mind you keeping the name since it provides free PR for him but you'll have to change the designation to Whitebeard or some similar knockoff.

Also if you keep letting Shroom name things for the FUN I'm going to have to start slapping tariffs on FUN goods for a silly tax.

OAN The Rename-for Peace plan won't work, you'll just get MESS NATO style reporting names. So you might call it the M2 "Happy Bunny Funmobile" but the Mess will simply shorten that to Foxtrox(Tank) or something similar

And that's another thing, if they keep letting Shroom name things for them, I'll sell the carrier to you no matter what they offer(Under 20 billion)

oh and speaking of that the Bear Republic's knock off is called "Coastal Protection Commisar" as for the long range Air version is called "Sniper Commisar"

Eh, I think we can let Byzantium have its carrier. We can use our billions to invest in missiles and stuff instead.

Go away, phongn :P

Hey Shroom, how large is your BAM production capacity for airliners? I will announce the order by the turn of the new year. If necessary, I'll beef up my own production capabilities (I believe the factories should be ready by the middle of next year).

The deal will be partly privately funded (The company is only 50% government owned)

Posted: 2008-05-30 10:55am
by Shroom Man 777
Well...um...*ponders making PeZookia a partner of the BAM so PeZook can do the maths for us...*

I guess my mangs can manage 200 orders per year?

I am pulling that out of thin air and if anyone can correct me, please do so.

Whoa there PeZook, steady now...

It was $2 billion USD total spending towards the ISCA. $1.96 billion USD of that went into ship orders. :wink: That leaves $ 40 million USD for other stuff.

I wasn't that generous. :)
