Event Name: Golden Oak Inter-House Tours Event Location: Planet Curacao, circuit route Event Date/Duration: Every Saturday, +19:00 SMT
Golden Oak Tours has come a long way from its grassroot-origins into a multi-liner eco-tourism corporation. And every saturday, the fledgling company takes flight into new heights by undertaking its grandest, most 'fabulous' tour yet!
The Golden Oak Tours' Inter-House Tours, as the name goes, will mainly involve the four core houses of Sirius. Each leg of the route is represented by a different-colored arrow on the event map:
Red: Bretonian Leg
Green: Rheinlandic Leg
Yellow: Kusarian Leg
Orange: Zoner Leg
Pink: Erisian Leg
Skyblue: Libertonian Leg
Blue: Return Leg
It is a free-form event where anyone may interact with the Inter-House Tour Convoy! Be it help achieve its goals, pirate it for its gains, or simply watch in awe at the progressive nature movement, the tour is an important one that does quite a bit for spreading Sirian awareness towards safeguarding nature and protecting the environment for future generations to come!
To learn more about the InterHouse Tour, refer to the 'Tours & Trade Offerings' post > Eco-Tours option > InterHouse Tours category.
To participate directly within a tour as a tourist yourself, book a ticket in the Public Communications Board > Eco-Tours & Trade Request Format, and you will be granted access to #oak-tours-inter in GOAT's discord server!
The Gaians and the eco-tourism company, Golden Oak Tours, have recently had heated diplomatic relations due to a few misunderstandings of intent.
Seeking to reprove their goodwill, the latter have taken it upon themselves to restore the tenuous relations through a few proactive measures:
GOAT convoys will deliver the following commodities every Saturday at 16:00 SMT, until 825 A.S., November 24, after which convoys will continue but at a minimum of a quarter of the original quantities:
ten thousand cubic units (10,000 m3) of Sweet Rice //Kyushu Rice//
ten thousand cubic units (10,000 m3) of Cambridge Cutlets //Luxury Food//
five thousand cubic units (5,000 m3) of Mondscheinblume //Blue Jillies//
GOAT is told not to retaliate against any and all Gaians, even when threatened verbally or through direct weapons fire, until relations have warmed enough not to worry.
GOAT is to actively defend Gaian pilots against their enemies considered criminals by the four houses, and do nothing when asked or demanded by lawfuls to engage Gaian pilots.
Are thou looking to book a tour with us for thyself or thy family? Are thou instead hoping to purchase some of our finest trade offerings to give to thy sweetheart on thy anniversary?
Well, then look no further!
Simply choose the appropriate option th'art looking for, and th'will be taken through a simple-as-ABC, step-by-step process.
Step 1:
Simply choose thy desired option(s) below. Copy and paste the coded format within, then post thy request within the Public Comms & Messages thread.

Good day to you, sir.
Looks like previous mail got stuck in the wrong mailer. Re-sending.
It is Hiss, we were convoying together earlier today.
It was a great pleasure to travel The Great Ring with you, despite a few unfortunate occasions, including the sad destruction of the ship belonging to herr Sky and certain misunderstandings with bloke called Willy.
I would like to send my application for the armed escort of the company convoys, as we have agreed on the travel.
If you need any additional data, It will be provided in following messages.
Best Regards,
"Uncle" Hiss.
P.S. Let us not talk of the watermelons. They were quite... good.

He clears his throat before continuing, "Then once Golden Oak Tours will have conducted and deemed satisfactory thy background check, th'will then be welcomed into our fold as a 'New Employee'. Th'will then be given a list of prerequisites th'will need to follow through within the next seven days of being accepted. Thou may refer to [THIS LINK] for a full list of said prerequisites.
"From the looks of it, th'ast already within thy disposal a gunboat vessel, but Golden Oak Tours would like thee to prove thyself first with the smallest of ships, before we can grant thee full confidence on incorporating thine vessels into our fold.
"Once th'art accepted, th'will need to first setup thine own 'Cavalier-class' vessel, but if th'art strapped of cash, then we'd be more than happy to provide thee a credit starter package of 5,000,000 Credits to get thee on thy feet... provided th'art a New Employee, that is.
"But I have more than average confidence th'will be accepted without any hiccup!
He takes a quick bow, and concludes. "May the solars guide thee, Uncle-dear! Fabulous out!"

The purple-suited Mr.Fabulous faces the camera, his golden spectacles reflecting a bright glint and a big smile on his face. "Salutations, Uncle-dear, and may the golden oak shelter thee! I'm oh-so-glad for thy final official recruitment application. Because of thy continued service in these recent days, and that thy background check looks green (thy relations with the Hessians is a non-issue, to be honest, so long as th'aren't too fraternized with the dearies), I'm oh-so-delighted to announce that th'ast been accepted as a 'New Employee'!
"Welcome to Golden Oak Tours' illustriously-nature-friendly family!
"All that's needed left is for thee to procure a GOAT.-licensed Gentleman- or Cavalier-class vessel, and accomplish thy prerequisites listed in the Recruitment Format within seven days of this message sending date using thy vessel. If thou feels like th'art unable to accomplish said prerequisites in time before 825 A.S., August 26, do please let yours-truly know, so that I may place thee upon the 'Reserves', freezing thy opportunity until th'ast the right circumstances to complete such."
He takes a bow, before flourishing out a hand to the heavens. "May the solars guide thee, and thy career-journey with Golden Oak Tours, Uncle-dear! Fabulous out!"
