Shady, Fin:

Me an Beowulf were discussing the thinly veiled OOC threats against the innocents of Japanistan(with 30 MILLION BAYONETS READY TO DIE FOR THE EMPEROR!) last night, and determined that, if spreading some ROBs around in Japanistan is enough to get CATO to launch an unprovoked nuclear attack(with a hilarity-ensuing Japanistan retaliation), then...

See, this is why chauvinism and grandiose provocative statements (from either sides) don't work. :(

Lonestar, what Fin actually said was that he'd find out who spread those ROBs there and rat them out to the Emperor.

I still wonder how Ryan AMERICA FUCK YEAH Sheppard is going to fit in Japanistan. It's gonna be like paiting an elephant white and trying to get him into a country club for polar bears.

ROBs are the most widely used currency in the world, which makes them ideal from a "Currency of Bribery" POV. He can knock himself out.

Alternatively, well, I vaguely recall making a post about finding $20bil worth of silver and gold bullion from the Shepistani reserve... :twisted:

You are kidding right? Skimmer created an extremely xenophobic country, modeled on the extremes of Japan culture. What makes you think ROBs are even remotely allowed currency allowed for trading?
Alternatively, well, I vaguely recall making a post about finding $20bil worth of silver and gold bullion from the Shepistani reserve... :twisted:
And what makes you think anyone would not get suspicious when a pile of gold magically appears? Gold is only as useful as it is convertible into hard Japanistani currency. There is a fething good reason why custom officials require that you declare any gold or any valuables like diamonds at the customs checkpoint.

Oh no, I am extremely determined to ruin anyone's party with regard to Japanistan. I will make good on my word.

Hmm....OD, Shinra, Wilkonia, Canissa, Tian Xia, Serenity, and Sirnoth all use ROBs. The MESS Currency Bloc is easily the largest, at least in economic terms.

Fin, you're the one that started talking about ROBs ending up in the hands of other people, not me.

Unlike a whole lot of MESS nations, Shroomania has actually done actual-factual trading with Japanistan. We used distilled urine to manufacture goddamn STEROIDS, for feth's sake! :lol:

I am even more curious as to how Shep is even going smuggle himself in Japanistan, renown for tight borders as they are.

Did someone decide to write his own Japanistan? That is most queer indeed.

Oh, okay, I get it now.


So, I guess we'll convert the cash into Shroom-cash?

Fin, it's been stated, and accepted by everyone(no one has disputed it in the least) that various Shepistani ne'er doers ended up gainfully employed within the Japanistani state security apparatus, so it isn't unheard of for peeps entering Japanistan.


By the by, the big plan for inserting Wade is economy class(it is government travel, after all) to New Tokyo. :P

What's the point with tracing stuff through currencies, though? Even xenophobic North Korea has dicktators and dicktator childrens who go want to go to Disneyland or school in Switzerland, so they'd probably have all sorts of moneys aside from Nokor Mickey Mouse Money.

I'd like to imagine that a whole lot of upper-class Japanistanis like buying Shroomanian sportscars, Canissian sex toys, and Tian Xian opium.

No. N. Korea prints money out of machines. Fake Money.

For the upper class to buy any of somewhat illegal stuff, it will have to be through a black market. Assuming one is even allowed to exist at the sufference of the Kempeitai.

In fact, the Kempeitai was notorious for operating brothels. Plus, they have their own sports cars. Why would they need to import inferior Gaijin crap?

I've gone ahead and set up YIM and MSN accounts to use with Trillian for those of you who don't use AIM or ICQ. I think it added Shady properly, at least if his new MSN account is the one on his profile.

Either way, my new MSN account is stgarrettjr@gmail.com and my YIM is stgjr or stgjr@yahoo.com, not sure how either of those actually work....

It gave me Fin's request earlier but not your's....
