Akhaltekes on offer!

[turkmenbashy]

The People's Republic of Türkmenbashy, as you know, prize the akhlateke above all else and is esteemed as our national animal. Thanks to the efforts of our genetic scientists working closely with traditional horse breeders, not only have we seen the akhalteke population boom, this new generation possesses noble qualities that were less obvious in their parents. As a token of friendship, I will in the spirit of brotherhood, offer each buyer who is interested akhaltekes going in lots of 100 horses for the specially reduced price of 250,000 manats. I am of course aware that cavalry has no place in the modern army. However, I feel that these magnificent creatures will boost your people's spirits in parades, and will also prove useful in various equestrian pursuits, including possible cavalry training for auxiliaries.



This is an example of one of our finest specimens. If you do decide to avail yourself of some, you will be in the august company of such luminaries as Darius of Persia and Iskander (Alexander) the Great.

Thank you for your time.

[Parthini]

I'm not sure I would want to be in company with both of them. They'd be too busy trying to kill each other!

ASNP

[turkmenbashy]

True but they used my horses to do that so my merchandise has something going for it. *plop*. Oh yuck...BAD HORSIE! *sheepish whinny*

[Parthini]

I'll take 1000 horses!

ASNP

[turkmenbashy]

Thank you for your custom my friend.
I hope they will serve you as well as they have done my people for eons on end.

S.T.

[hiigara]

As the people of the Hiigaran Steppes are descended from nomads, such fine beasts would be a proud reminder of our past heritage, and we would gladly purchase 500 of them to take part in cultural events and military parades. The equivalent price you have charged has been paid in Hiigaran Credits, we expect delivery of the shipment within the next 2 weeks.

Yours,
Karan S'jet,
Speaker for the Kiith Council of the Nomadic Peoples of the Hiigaran Steppes

[turkmenbashy]

Ah fellow ex-nomads! Would it be overly presumptious of me to suggest the possibility of a distant kinship between our peoples? If so, welcome to the 10000 Islands, kinsman! As kinship is a possibility, I will bestow an additional 200 horses at no charge whatsoever. Perhaps one day if you can come over, you can stay in my specially appointed ger and ride across the steppes with wild abandon.

Yours,

Sultan Saparmurat I

[hiigara]

The Council thanks you for your generosity, and is intruiged by the possibility of kinship between our nations. As a people who have never settled in one region for long periods until recently, our bloodline from our ancestors is relatively undiliuted, and so our science advisors believe that we could determine any relatiopnship with DNA testing. With your permission we would like to send Ardat Nabaal, our foremost genetecist and Speaker for Science on the Council to your nation to conduct genetic tests. We feel that if this link could be proved it would serve as a strong base for a close political relationship between our peoples.

yours,
Karan S'jet
First Speaker for the Kiith Council of the Nomadic Peoples of the Hiigaran Steppes

[turkmenbashy]

Your genetic researcher will be most welcome here. I have issued a decree stating that all of Türkmenbashy's research facilities and hospitals will be open to him to use at his disposal. And I'm sure potential subjects will be...persuaded to take part. I myself will donate blood, hair, urine and...another sample for use in research, as I being the product of a marriage between two different tribes will be more representative of the Türkmenian people as a whole without any defining tribal characteristics. Now if you excuse me, I must withdraw to my harem for the collection of the aforementioned sample.

Yours,

Sultan Saparmurat I

[newwallia]

Greetings!

I would be delighted to purchase 50 of your fine animals for tournaments and parades!
I will exchange my currency and send off the required amount asap.

Jones the Prime Delegate,
The People's Republic of New Wallia.

[turkmenbashy]

I thank you very much for your custom and I look forward to strengthening the bonds between our two nations.

Receipt of the M125,000 has been acknowledged.

Sultan Saparmurat I

[newwallia]

Many thanks for your trade; I too hope to see a prospering relationship.

Jones the Prime Delegate.

[FutureEngland]

we are interested in purchasing 500 of these fine akhlatekes

[Alfonia]

Alfonia would like to purchase 100 horses for officers in the national guard, and we would also like to purchase four specially selected horses for use by the Emperor and his family, tell us the price and we will pay it.

/The emperor of Alfonia (head of state)
/The Shogun of Alfonia

[turkmenbashy]

Future England: Your order has been acknowledged and our breeders are just running through the horses once more, to ensure that all are absolutely perfect as we in Türkmenbashy pride ourselves on attention to the smallest detail.

Alfonia: Your order for the 100 horses has been acknowleged. As for the special horses, each of the five Türkmenian tribes have presented me with this year's finest, who they say are the paragons of the herd, and that their like will rarely be found again. I personally have test ridden them and I myself am amazed at their intelligence, endurance and speed. I have taken for myself the one I like best, which means that the other four are available to you. As a token of friendship to a fellow 10000 Islander, I will sell all four for 60000 Manats (1875 Alfonian Uber Pounds).

[Parthini]

The Prince requests a shipment of 192 of the best horses for each of the the Grand Councilors and Grand Arbiters. He also requests the employmenof 4 trainers and caretakers for each of the 192 horses.

He also wishes for a grand steed to be purchased for the Prince himself, along with the employment of 10 of your best caretakers and trainers.

The Prince is willing to negotiate prices for horses. He is also willing to grant full Parthinian Non-Tribal Citizenship and very high wages for the trainers.

Sincerely,
GPP

p.s. After the ceremonies, the Prince cordially invites the Sultan to a hunt and afterwards tea.

[Power45]

I am willing to give you 100 war elephants plus 500,000 Fistos (500,000 manats) For 300 of the horses. the war elphant was used in our past wars before guns. It is a magnificent creature 20 feet tall and easily tamed. They can also serve as cars and snacks and body-guards. War Elephant meat is rich in protein.

[Parthini]

Hmm. Can the elephants paint? I've read stuff about elephants that can paint and that is really cool. If so I would like to purchase 150 elephants for ceremonial purposes. I also read that this one chinese king taught a bunch of elephants to bow to him. I want to do that ;D. I would also wish to purchase 750 trainers and am willing to grant full Parthinian Non-Tribal Citizenship and very high wages.

Sincerely,
GPP

[The Peoples of Yavanna]

The Peoples of Yavanna are interested in purchasing 100 of these fine horses. We have converted the currency and dispatched payment forthwith.

We are quite keen on examining these fine beasts for possible breeding with our Mearas, which we consider horses of unparalleled excellence. We thank you in advance for swift delivery of the horses upon receipt of payment.

A pleasure to do business with you!

[Alfonia]

It's a deal! You will be recieving your money soon.
Happy to do buisness with you.
/the Imperial Family of Alfonia
/the Shogun of Alfonia

[Power45]

Pathini, yes the elephants can paint and be taught to bow to you. I give you an extra 20 elephants, thats 120 for the price of 100.

*takes money* *Give elepahnts to Parhtini*

[FutureEngland]

tell me the price and i will wire the money to you

[Power45]

The orice for elepahnts..... 100,000 fitos for 100

[Parthini]

Ahh yes! I have build a nice little elephant art gallery in honor of the President of Power45.

The elephants will enjoy a nice stay here in Parthini. They have their own little forest where they paint. The elephants wish to give the President their thanks. *elephants bow towards the camera*.

The elephants are also weekly sent to the "war ring" where they step on little robots (and some convicts...) to keep them calm.

I would also invite the President to hunting and tea this weekend. Please accept my invitation.

Sincerely,
GPP

[turkmenbashy]

Power45: I LOVE elephants!!! I would be more than happy to waive the 500k for another 350 elephants.

Yavanna: Ah the mearas. I have indeed heard of the fame of this excellent breed and would be more than happy to add 10 fine studs to the 100 other horses in exchange for 10 meara studs. Oh and is Shadowfax for sale?

Parthini: I have handpicked the 192 from my own stables, and I have a magnificent stallion that was to replace my current steed when she becomes too old to serve me any longer, which I will gladly offer to you. The 800 men and women who will serve as their groomers are ex-cavalry and are qualified veterinarians. Double citizenship is no problem as it is allowed as long as the other nation belongs to the 10,000 Islands.
I must caution you however, that these horses are the best in Türkmenbashy, they'd have to be to live in my stables, and the price will reflect this. The total price tag on the horses will stand at 1,000,000 Manats (125,000 Reyes), but it is open to negotiation. I thank you for your custom.

Sultan Saparmurat I

[The Peoples of Yavanna]

Turkmenbashy,

we are delighted with the Akhaltekes! We would be pleased to provide 10 Mearas studs for 10 more of your fine horses. Alas, Shadowfax departed us quite a long time ago, but lives on in memory. We do have a line of Mearas that are from his original line, and will be pleased to provide one in the 10 we are sending. His name is Nahadir; he is a very fine, high-spirited beast that has won many tournaments, shows, and cavalry exercises. We will also be sending 2 Mearists: Trained professionals in the care, breeding, and highly sensitive nature of the Mearas, who will assist you with the horses.
Again, a pleasure doing business with you.

[Parthini]

By "they'd have to be to live in my stables," do you mean they do not reside in Parthini? This is a very interesting proposal. I need more on what you mean by this. Oh and does the stallion have a name...

Sincerely,
GPP

[turkmenbashy]

Parthini: I meant that before they were sent to you, they were living in my personal stables. Sorry about the confusion. The naming of a horse in Türkmenian culture does not happen until a ceremony is conducted proclaiming it as one's own. He has not been appointed my official steed yet, so while he has been reared in my stables, I have not formally claimed him, so he does not have a formal name as yet. I would be more than happy to pay a state visit to Parthini to preside over the ceremony, and you can name him anything you want.

Yavanna: I am truly honoured to be able to welcome the scion of such a great lineage to my realm. As Mithrandir was found worthy of Shadowfax, I only hope that I too will be worthy of Nahadir.

SSI

[Power45]

Parthini: I gladly accept your offer for tea,

Turkmenbashy: I have sent the elephants along with a few trainers. They are already potty-trained

[Parthini]

Hmm... a few of my elephants must have forgotten their training!

Turkmenbashy: Well, you have my honor that I will try to make their stay in Parthini as good as it was in your personal stables.

Since it requires a ceremony, I would enjoy it if you would personally come to preside over the ceremony. Also, a little help with the names would be nice. I'm not too good with horse names .

Sincerely,
GPP
