Well, good news, last month I graduated from university and I've started summer classes for my masters degree. School is dead! Long live school! For the past month I've used my brief reprieve to spend time with friends, drink copious amounts of alcohol, and wake up every morning and try to figure out how I spent so much damn money the previous night.

Anywho, I have the opportunity and (more importantly) am in the mood to be playing myself some Space Spreadsheets and make some pretend money (my degrees are in Political Science and Philosophy so pretend money is the best I'll do in life).

TERMS

Total Bond Size: 3 Billion ISK
Rate: 10 percent
Bonds: 100 million ISK each (no min/max purchase)
Collateral: None
Audit: No
Sex: Yes
Start Date: June 21, 2012
End Date: July 19, 2012

PLAN AND EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Station trading mainly, sporadic hauling/regional arbitrage, and when possible prostitution in heavy traffic stations. You know the deal.

After some very helpful and enlightening conversation during the course of my previous bond I have reevaluated the length of my offers. I had been operating over much shorter time periods but now that I have been educated I will be slightly increasing my interest rate and lengthening the bond to one month in accordance with the market norm.

RISK

We both know that I might steal it. I'm a shifty guy. Would it help if I showed you previous bonds where I didn't steal anything? No? Well I'm not showing you the ones where I DID. That would be pretty stupid. You'll just have to make do. Incidentally, I had to look up whether it was "make due" or "make do". Funny the things we say and think all the time but don't have nearly a firm understanding as we thought. Another two are bear and bare, I always forget which one means to have or display something and which one makes me naked. I'm off track...

Bond #1 Foxfire
Bond #2 Flameburst
Bond #3 Thunderbolt
Bond #4 Mjolnir

Spunky. I like it. I'll readjust to make tomorrow the start date. ;)

Received, noted, and (let's be honest) tenderly caressed.

You're a grand example of how to mix in jokes and "we're totally on wavelength" remarks into an otherwise trivial proposal in order to make it irresistibly convincing. One who's so funny and witty can't possibly want to cheat anyone ^^
You may be legit - but scammers should take notes for certain.

I'll take that as a compliment. So friendly and genuine I must be a cheat. Smile

Finito. Principle and interest have been repaid to CorInaXeraL, the ISK is guaranteed to be just as spunky or spunkier than those received.

I will probably be running another bond in the near future. The biggest determinate is how heavy school gets in the last few weeks of the summer term. There will be two more tests which I'm not too worried about but I have to do a city budget report for one of the classes and that might take more time than I want. Anyway, so those are the RL things I'll be thinking about. As far as in-game concerns for a possible future offering I know that I'll be increasing the total size, it's a big jump bit I'm considering ten billion. Thoughts and inputs on that would be grateful. I'm also thinking about moving my interest rate downward one to two percent. That's something else about which any advice would be appreciated. Since I'm not set on a plan yet I have plenty of flexibility to benefit from from any recommendations.

Yep! He even went so far as to polish the drive the credits were stored on. I'm impressed.


Cheers!
