SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Is this thing on? How do you work this thi... oh there it is.

14/1/822 -- Welcome to ΤΩΣO for a special announcement! This is Dr. Robe, or Drrobe to many of you mortals, here to bring you some exciting news! Or rather, exciting for me, and a requirement for you if you wish to remain alive. You see, it seems my Synthetic Marijuana supply is dangerously low. Way too low for my liking and comfort. In fact, the last of it is currently almost... nope, it's gone now. While normally I can conjure such substances out of thin air, I feel this would be a great opportunity for some of you all to prove your loyalty to the ADMINS and their base desires. So for an undetermined amount of time, I have an entire storage module open for deliveries. Where you may ask? For those wondering, I don't want someone as simple minded as you handling my precious cargo. I don't trust simple minded mortals, like the IM... I mean Sirians.

For those wanting to make a delivery right now, I don't know what the sell price will be and too ston... I mean tired to inform those responsible for the market price. You slaves should be able to make your deliveries sometime over the next couple minutes. Or hours, who knows.

Anyway, thats it for the special announcement. Thanks again for tuning in and listening to my demands. See you soon!

6/2/822 -- Hello there ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to ΤΩΣO. Thanks for tuning in again! Three guesses on what we're going to present to you today folks? If you guessed tips on how to pick up a girl, you're wrong. Perhaps next time.

At any rate, down to business. The market is a very interesting machine. Always going up and down, people buying this, people buying that, it's almost a little hard to figure out the trends even after you study it for a long period of time. While I could rant on about personal philosophies about how this thing works, I can very well also go on and rant about the good ol' revolution. You can never have a bad revolution. It appears the market agrees. Blood Diamonds. A sign of just that. It appears that a few houses have been buying more than usual recently, having a higher demand for it. Of course, the lawfuls most likely don't know this, although people always find a way. Gallia, Kusari, Liberty and Bretonia. It appears that one station in each house, probably the ones which buy it for the highest price anyways have been getting a little more grabby recently. If you work for the cause, why not pick up a few credits along the way.

---

On another note, it appears that two unlikely locations have suddenly become best friends. Yes, you heard me right folks. Spacial objects have feelings too. At least so the market tries to tell me. I'm sure some of you know of Gaian Wildlife, correct? Cute little animals which are going extinct, all that jazz. People on planet Stuttgart either have a really odd desire for a pet, or some other reason perhaps a little more shady, but their interest has gone up. There's a sizable amount of credits they'll be willing to pay in order to get these animals. It's a really big spike, i'm rather surprised it happened. Planet Harris being the counterpart to this equation. They suddenly have had a huge craving for Apfelstrudel. I've never had it before, but apparently it's a really nice dessert. Apparently it sells on Stuttgart. Heck, I might go out and find some myself after this. I'm starving.

---

At any rate, that's all I have for you today folks. Happy trading.

Yet again, we have a ΤΩΣO announcement to make. Reims Station, in the Champagne System, has received a steady supply of Fromage from nearby Planet Marne. This commodity is brand new, packed in crates and ready for smuggling into the systems of Sirius. Those daring enough to enter Gallia to transport this commodity can find the best price at The Ring, New Berlin. The route continues it's dangerous trek as smugglers purchase Black Market Munitions at The Ring and sell them back at Reims Station, helping out the Council's cause.

The route is fraught with peril, both ways, with both legal and criminal elements eager to intercept your cargo. Are you bold enough to risk this smuggling route? Fortune will favor those who take the chance and end up successful.

Sirius News reports that demands for libations have increased exponentially. Patrons from watering holes across Sirius are demanding complex, exotic concoctions, which have quickly exhausted the inventories of many backwater establishments.

Adventurous freelancers are being called upon to help restore these depleted inventories. If you find yourself with an empty transport and an even emptier wallet, you are urged to answer the call. Be advised, this is not a simple back and forth route. By the time you have finished the circuit, you will have traveled through four Houses, and made a grand total of nine stops.

This route is no walk in the park either. None of the eight different stops are located in Sovereign House space, so expect plenty of danger. You might find it necessary to ask local law enforcement to escort you through some of the more treacherous systems, and remember, don't forget to tip.

Merchants at each of the eight locations will provide ample reward for the increased risk. There are sure to be pirates, unsavory characters and less than lawful organizations that will want to rob you of your cargo. Police are requesting that you travel with full armor plating and they caution all traders: DON'T DRINK AND FLY.

So, does your thirst for credits exceed your fear of danger? If so, then enter the following navigational instructions into the Transport's NavMap terminal:

Omega 49 Grand Vista Orbital buy Vodka
sells at Magellan, Freeport 4, buy Whiskey
sells at Minnesota, Saint Paul Base, buy Liberty Ale
sells at Tau 31, Holman Outpost, buy Gin
sells at Tottori, Tokai Shipping Platform, buy Rum
sells at Okinawa, Planet Miura for, buy Sake
sells at Sigma 19, Luxury Liner Hawaii, buy Wine
sells at Saar, Kruetzwald Depot, buy Rheinbier
sells at Omega 49, Grand Vista Orbital

6/6/822 -- Sirius News Networks reports that another fabulously profitable trade run has just been discovered, sponsored by Orbital Spa & Cruise. Five different commodities are being sold on a different OS&C base. Four of them have never been sold on the market until now.

The first stop on our whirlwind tour across these luxury sights is Planet Baden Baden in the Stuttgart system. There you will find a Rheinland favorite, Bratwurst. This brand new commodity is fetching a good price at Luxury Liner Shetland, in the Newcastle system. Be warned, however. This commodity is also selling well at places such as Planet Crete and Vogtland Base, so be wary of Corsairs and Red Hessians who would like nothing better than to intercept your cargo.

While at Luxury Liner Shetland, you can pick up the second new commodity, Crumpets. This Bretonian pastry is craved by vacationers over at Planet Curacao, in the Cortez system. Sadly, it is also craved by Molly's in Arranmore, and Gaians in Skye Base.

Before you leave Planet Curacao, you will want to pick up the third new commodity, Video Games. The Luxury Liner Mackinac are in short supply of these devices for entertainment and are paying top credit to traders who bring them shipments. The markets are also craving this commodity at Planet Malta, Ainu Depot and Ouray Base, so watch out for cargo piracy.

Luxury Liner Mackinac will offer you the next brand new commodity, Synthcargot. It is to die for over at Luxury Liner Hawaii, where they are offering the best price. Sadly, you might literally die if you run across Farmers Alliance, Blood Dragons and the Unione Corse who are buying this commodity at Kagoshima Depot, Kyoto Base and Montelimar Base, respectively.

A familiar commodity can be purchased at Luxury Liner Hawaii, Sorted Artifacts. This commodity is considered contraband in many House systems, but the profits found at Planet Baden Baden, Stuttgart, might just make it worth the risk. Adding to the risk is the fact that good sale points for this commodity can be found at Leipheim Base, Meshkenet Station and Suzuka Station, so watch out for the Unioners, The Order and the Hogosha along this route.

Orbital Spa and Cruise wishes to thank all intrepid captains who decide to make this run. The profits are great, but so are the risks. They also want to disclaim any responsibility for unexpected misfortune that may befall those who choose to run this route.

That's all for Sirius News Network. Happy travels.

With sudden peace falling upon Liberty and Rheinland, many citizens are taking advantage of the opportunity presented to them to travel abroad. Some have lived oppressed lives as political targets. Others are venture capitalists looking to establish business relationships. Still more are looking for a safe home to put over their heads. For all such ones, peace brings opportunity. An opportunity to better one's life.

With the changes in this political climate, the demand for transport vessels has never been greater. The Junkers on Kreuzberg depot readily accept any and all to hitch a quick ride to Liberty - where Political Refugees can request asylum. The most common destinations for such ones are located at Rochester Base, the Junker base in New York, or the politically neutral Zoner base in Pennsylvania, Bethlehem Station.

Political Refugees can also be found trying to escape the Planet Nuremberg, in Munich system due to persistent accounts that the planet is dying. An urgent call for transport vessels is being made to assist in this humanitarian effort.

How Rheinland House authorities react upon encountering these Political Refugees is up to them, but Sirius News Networks believes that they will not look kindly toward transport captains who attempt to aid and abet the escape of wanted criminals. Therefore, the utmost discretion is advised while carrying such passengers. Also, if history is any indication, Liberty Rogues may attempt to intercept transports carrying these refugees with the intent of selling them at Rochester Base as slaves, most likely headed to the Outcasts at Planet Malta. To make matters worse, Xeno factions will not be pleased to see foreigners pouring into Liberty, so be warned.

If you somehow manage to overcome all these obstacles, Freelancer captains can assist Liberty Corporations, on the route back, in transporting Business Delegates to Planet New Berlin. Corporations are eager to get a foothold in new areas of capitalistic development and will pay handsomely for any Freelancer willing to transport their delegates to Rheinland. Even this route, however, is not free from danger. Aside from the usual pirates and unlawful factions one might encounter, the Landwirtrechtbewegung are thought to be in particular interest of such ones. The LWB faction in Kaiserslautern Depot is attempting to capture all Business Delegates in order to ransom them back to corporations for vast amounts of credits.



If you feel up to the job, then enter the following navigational instructions into your transport's NavMap terminal:

New Berlin, Kreuzberg Depot or Munich, Planet Nuremberg (Bundy side), buy Political Refugees
sells at New York, Rochester Base or
sells at Pennsylvania, Bethlehem Station

New York, Planet Manhattan, buy Business Delegates
sells at New Berlin, Planet New Berlin or
sells at New Berlin, Kaiserslautern Depot


//These event commodities will go into effect upon server restart. Special thanks (or blame) for this event go to Sindroms.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

20/4/823 -- Welcome to ΤΩΣO for a special announcement! This is Drrobe, here to bring you some more exciting news! Given today is such a special day for me, it is time that my joy is your joy! A new commodity has arisen, thanks to the scientists aboard Ames Research Station. Having reverse engineered Synthetic Marijuana, they have produced... Synth Dank Weed

For a limited time only, you can purchase such a wonderful gift aboard Ames Research Station. Careful though, using such dank weed will more than likely render you incapable of operating spacecraft. Let's hope the Ames hangers are capable of handling the demand. Those buying such? Why, none other than more Zoners! Looks like Planet Gran Canaria and Freeport 9 are demanding that such dank weed is brought to them.

So, gather your belongings, your favorite towel, and head to Ames!

Once the server restarts...

With the shipments for New Year's coming it is expected that New York, Manhattan's bars will swiftly run out of alcohol. Even in space the holidays seem to not make hold of messing with shipments and work schedules. Even more reason to celebrate afterwards. Sake, Gin and Rheinbier are in big demand on Planet Manhattan.

The importance of Manhattan and New York has many people stuck there as shuttles, liners and other means of transportation are booked out. Many Socialites are stuck and cannot get home to Bretonia, Kusari or Rheinland. Ticket prices skyrocketed and the main capital spaceports are running on overdrive to process incoming ships as quickly as possible.



If you feel up to the job, then enter the following navigational instructions into your transport's NavMap terminal:

New Berlin, Planet New Berlin, buy Rheinbier
sells at New York, Planet Manhattan

New London, Planet New London, buy Gin
sells at New York, Planet Manhattan

New Tokyo, Planet New Tokyo, buy Sake
sells at New York, Planet Manhattan

New York, Planet Manhattan, buy Socialites
sells at New Berlin, Planet New Berlin or
sells at New London, Planet New London
sells at New Tokyo, Planet New Tokyo

Special thanks to Karst for checking/running the numbers with me.

Gallic wine has centuries of tradition behind it, making it one of the finest drinks in all of Sirius, probably the Milky Way. At least this is what the ads on New Berlin say where Gallic Wine is currently in high demand.

With the LWB in disarray a lot of people fear that Blue Jillies might die out. They pay a high price to deliver them to a station in hopes of someone preserving this type of flower.

Meanwhile a new fashion on New Paris includes wearing expensive jewelry of bright colors. The authentic and only acceptable way is to order Junyo Fire Pearls all the way from Kusari. No price is too high to follow the latest fashion.

If you feel up to the job, then enter the following navigational instructions into your transport's NavMap terminal:

Ile-de-France, Planet New Paris, Saint-Denis, buy Wine
sells at New Berlin, Planet New Berlin

Stuttgart, Planet Stuttgart, buy Blue Jillies
sells at Kepler, Ames Research Station

Shikoku, Planet Junyo, buy Junyo Fire Pearls
sells at Ile-de-France, Planet New Paris, Ile du Palais

Libertonian Designer Clothing is currently in high demand on Planet New Tokyo. These highly expensive brands are the latest fashion in Liberty and soon also in Kusari.

Recent advances in genetics have enabled Kusari based companies to produce very colourful variants of Ornamental Fish. Many Bretonian offices and private wealthy homes are now asking for these to fill their decadent aquariums.

With the Royal Navy marching onto New London, big companies are trying to get rid of their stock of valuables. Jewellery is especially asked in New Berlin.

Finally Rheinlands funding in art is paying off as wealthy Libertonians are finding an interest in Rheinland made Art Pieces.

Over at restart on the 13th.
