With any uncertainty as to where I would be spending my time in New Eden now gone I am ready to make my third bond offering. You may refer to my previous bonds to get a sense of what type of trader/person I am and for a general overview of my motivations for pursuing bond offerings as a facet of my game experience.

(sorry about this stupid plaintext link business, I must be doing something wrong with the create link function)

TERMS

Total Bond Size: 2 Billion ISK
Rate: 9%
Bonds: 100 million ISK each (no min/max purchase)
Collateral: None
Audit: No
Start Date:January 29, 2012
End Date: February 8, 2012

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Having had more interest in my previous offerings than room and also with an eye towards managing larger trading operations I have decided (at the risk of looking like a slow building up towards a scam) to make this offering double the previous. I considered making an offering for as much as 5 billion but decided that my relative newness does not inspire sufficient confidence for such an offering at this time.

Also, the start date of January 29th is the "official" start date. Obviously I will invest ISK as it is received.

RISK

Nobody needs to be reminded the single greatest threat to investors is that I'll steal the ISK. I can only tell you that it would be out of character for me, especially since my addiction to Crash and Exotic Dancers is now a thing of the past. Mostly.

There's also the possibility that I'll lose it all through poor trading. Now, aside from the fact that I took a required freshmen-level course in economics a few years ago and thus know everything about how the monies work, I also promise to PLEX myself to Hell and back to remove the dishonor of failure. Ritual suicide will follow.

INVESTOR INFORMATION

There is no minimum/maximum purchase except that investments will only be taken in increments of 100 million ISK. As per usual investors from my previous bond and those that have expressed prior interest in an offering will be give preference over newcomers.

INVESTORS

General Mic - 1 Billion (Received)
Tivern Maniva - 600 million (Received)
Jonas Xiamon - 200 million (Received)
apAzed - 200 million (Received)

Unfortunately, preference is given to previous investors. After they have chosen to take the opportunity or not, and assuming the bond has not yet been filled, I would be happy to allow you to fill the difference. Your interest is most appreciated.

I have already asked Ayn Randy if she (or he) would like to invest the 800 million ISK that had not been filled this morning. In the event that she turns this offer down I will increase Tivern Maniva's stake to 500 million total and add apAzed as an investor at 200 million. I'll let everyone know what's going on as soon as I know.

Sorry I didn't make it back in time, keep me on your mailing list however.

I usally write one of these and then change it a month later when I reread it and decide it sounds stupid.

Ayn Randy has not gotten back to me and I don't think it would be fair to wait any longer. I will up Tivern Maniva's stake to 500 million total and add apAzed as an investor at 200 million. I am very sorry that this took so long, it was highly unprofessional of me.

EDIT: My "hard" start date is tomorrow (giving one week to the end date) so if anyone is interested to invest the remaining 100 million ISK contact me.

Check your wallet and mail. I sent the 300m to up my stake as originally discussed. and sent another 100m to fill that last spot taking me to 600m total. If in the event it was filled before i sent it. Just chuck us the 100 back.

I was in on the first of these, it went well. I'm not convinced about the staying power long-term, but David seems like decent people so far. Good luck!

Tivern Maniva's ISK has been received as described. If everyone could be sure to deposit any funds that are on reserve at their earliest convenience it would be most appreciated.

Thanks Ollie for the pseudo-vote of confidence. ;)

Nothing personal matey. I like your presentation, and all of your interaction was professional. The business plan makes me slightly wary, which is why I am not investing again. That's all. Hope it goes well!
