[Terrance888]

From Dual Monarchy of Poland and Saxony
To Great and Unending Tsardom of Russia.

We request the land known as Alaska to be sold to us.

OOC: The Dutch government competing against its own company for land? How curious....

I don't know what your talking about.


OOC: thanks for the catch.

OOC: Wuh? I don't see Holland-Hannover making an offer.

IC: The Tsar considers 2 ep a good starting price, as a single ep does not take into account the efforts of Russian explorers to chart the Alaskan coasts or establish relationships with local native tribes.

EDIT: This is Post 1,000 for me. Dear God, just thinking of the things I could be doing right now if I hadn't come here...

IC:
Sweden will pay 3 E.P.

OOC: I fail to understand why Alaska gets so much response when it is empty, barren, frozen, huge, and almost inaccessable for the most part.

IRL, most nations wouldn't even give a rat's a** what Russia does with Alaska until oil is discovered. Or they have a good reason for doing so, (America and Manifest Destinity).....

IC:
Great Britain will not participated in the bidding war. Alaska is meaningless to us.

OOC: There's gold in them hills, too.

OOC: There's gold in them hills, too.

That no one knows of yet. And there are other easier far more accessible locations to search for gold.

 

[germanicus12]

OOC: Yes, California.... who owns California. Ahh Spain... *watches them closely* I should move south and take the Black hills, before the Americans find the gold! And the lost city of gold.

lurker's comment: Belated correction to the map - as alex994 had pointed out in PM, Ryukyu should belong to China.

I think that Calcutta should belong to the British too (they got it back at the end of the Dutch War) - it almost looks as though those pixels are gray.

OOC:
The Swedes have a motive to purchase Alaska- given their current policy, they want to convert it to Protestantism.

 

[Abaddon]

Have the Swedes had anything to do with colonies at all?

 

[Neverwonagame3]

OOC:
No, but it is the most effective way to spread Protestantsim.

IC:

From Sweden
To Russia

We withdraw our bid.

 

[BananaLee]

Spread it to what?
A pile of moss and some polar bears?

 

[Abaddon]

Those bears and their heathen religions involving strange rituals with moss...

PROTIP: Converting Native Americans works easier when you get them drunk. Make sure to tell the Russians to leave their vodka behind when you buy Alaska - have it be a package deal or something.

Since your out... 2 E.P.

(My reason is to .... it to someone!)

EDIT:
I'm retrieving this offer. God, I think it will endanger my position. Good day.

Yea, if your reading this add in this for flavor

 

[alex994]

OOC: Wow, three people bid for Alaska with two of them then withdrawing their offers. And I believe my current Emperor for China should be Paowu Emperor.

Well, since you put so much work into it...if you can fill out the template, complete with a background description, then sure you can play as a Metis nation

@neverwonagame, the update commences on 7 PM Friday. It will be finished at some point during the weekend, with the target being Saturday night.

Alright, I'll fill this out and get it to you shortly.

Interesting... at this point in history, the Russians have not yet begun their missionary work with the native population, so (in a Christian's perspective) it's an empty slate.
