Once again (third time I am posting this) I remind everyone that in order to have me record a transaction resulting from a private deal, both parties have to PM me, otherwise it wont happen.

I am saying this again because I now have 7 different pending private deals, where one of the 2 parties has pmed me, but the other has not.

The markets close in 9 hours.

All private deals and bonds purchased after 12pm eastern time (4pm UTC) tomorrow will not be processed until after the build phase.

The following money was raised in the primary bond market last turn:
France $60,000@7.67% interest (average sale price of the bonds)
Germany $80,000@6.75%
Russia $120,000@4.8%

Due to that (and some private deals) here are the cash on hand for the governments:
Austria: 190,000
England: 120,000
France: 195,000
Germany: 230,000
Italy: 95,000
Russia: 280,000
Turkey: 115,000

Provide below is the list of all the private deals made last turn:
Adammaa: 30k to Russia, 20k to Germany
Don: 20k to Russia
KingKong: 50k to Russia, 20k to Russia
Italy: 10k to Germany

The exact details on what the players will receive from private deals will be disclosed for now.

Cash on hand for Creditors:
Butterhead: 160,000
Qwit: 200,000
Shep315: 100,000
DonQuigleone: 140,000
KingKongKill: 80,000
adammaa: 140,000

Bonds held by each player:
Butterhead:
40 German Bonds
$60/year in interest

Shep315:
100 Russian bonds
$50/year in interest

DonQuigleone
20 French bonds
$70/year in interest
20 German bonds
$70/year in interest

KingKongKill
40 French bonds
$80/year in interest
10 German bonds
$80/year in interest

Adammaa
10 German bonds
$80/year in interest

Quickmeme (England)
20 Russian bonds
$40/year in interest

If you believe I have made a mistake in the above, feel free to either pm me or post here. Remember, not everyone bought as many bonds as they bid on, due to people out bidding eachother (eg. Adammaa bid on 20 German bonds, but only got 10).

I made the same mistake as I made on the board, England has 100,000 not 120,000

I believe I should have £80000, as I bought 20 bonds. Also, my name appears to have changed :D

$80000, even.

Austria kindly pointed out to me that the King Kong made private deals with Austria not Russia. (this doesn't chance any above numbers since I did put the money in Austria's account)

@Captainmeme: taxes have already gone through but unit maintance has not:
you gained 90,000 from taxes and 30,000 from Russia buying Norway off you. You then spend 20,000 on Russian bonds
90+30-20=100
Following the build phase, you will loose another 20,000 for the unit upkeep.
100-20=80

I think this is where the confusion is.

Question in bond payment: can they be bought back early by the governments?

yes, but all outstanding interest payments must be paid when bought back.

So, new bids/deals will be done after the build phase but will still get the interest from them as once build phase is done, it's new year?

Also, since I didn't get 20 bonds in public bid, Germany must be out of public bonds.

I put up 80 bonds. thats $80,000 and I also did several private deals.

Germany is out of 1901 war bonds, but he can, if he chooses to, issue more in 1902

Hey also. I think the way you did that. Saying like 60 or so /year is for 1 bond.

So, we just have to do a little multiplication.

Would you rather I wrote them like this?
Butterhead:
40 German Bonds
$2400/year in interest

Shep315:
100 Russian bonds
$5000/year in interest

DonQuigleone
20 French bonds
$1400/year in interest
20 German bonds
$1400/year in interest

KingKongKill
40 French bonds
$3200/year in interest
10 German bonds
$800/year in interest

Adammaa
10 German bonds
$800/year in interest

Captainmeme (England)
20 Russian bonds
$800/year in interest

yes I like how you wrote it like that :) I can see how much I pay to creditor's. can you also add on how much The government makes a year and has?

For the secondary market, how about we operate an "auction" system, similiar to the system used for issuing the bonds? IE a creditor posts bonds they want to sell off a reserve price, and other players post their own "maximum" they'll pay for it. So player A can post they wish to sell bonds rated at 5% interest in country B at a reserve of 1100 (the bond should end out paying off 1250), and players (and also countries, if they want) can bid on the bonds. Whoever bids the highest wins, gets their order filled out, and it proceeds down until all bonds are sold.

Also, question to fasces, some of us have privately sold bonds to countries, and the interest is not on that table, we will still be receiving that interest, correct? Albeit secretly, I guess.

Fasces said earlier

"The exact details on what the players will receive from private deals will be disclosed for now."

alliance there between the Don and the Kong, both picking up French and German bonds... with KingKong favouring france.

That is all for public bonds right? no mention of my private interest rates - will they remain private?

"That is all for public bonds right? no mention of my private interest rates - will they remain private? "
Well when you give money to King Kong in repayment of his loan to you, it will be a hint of the interest rate you agreed upon.

Orathaic should stop spreading rumours ;)

rumours? it's plain to see from the purchases. And neither of you even bid on my pretty russian bonds... only 30 left! :)

I should buy those bonds so russia will have to pay the fatherland Money :P

what if he made multiple agreements with different people? it will only be possible to work out the average interest rates he's making... (and i have multiple and varying deals with people... at different interest rates... potentially)

thats for the government to keep track of. hes saying average so other people can't tell from the private deals.

I think it's more of a case that you offered the same deal to both of us, who happen to be acquaintances of yours...

What deal? Of course i'm able to offer lots of private deals... I'm just not clear which one you might be refering to...

I am selling 100 bonds at a maximum interest rate of 10% I am also looking to make $20,000 this turn so negotiation is open.

AHGHRHRHGhgggH! 100 GermAn BondZ! I Am gOing copmPletly Nutz rIght nW!
