Through our routine reports, it's come to my attention that one of your members refused the price we offered on some ore. For various reasons, this price for Junkers is in effect and we won't be revoking it without sufficient reason.
If you'd like to negotiate lower prices, I'm sure we'd be able to work out some sort of agreement.
If not, we're perfectly happy.
Top o' th' mernin' to ye'z Mr. Ross.
Me name's Finnegan. Congressman Tim Finnegan, Director Bretonia an' Clan Chief o' th' Gordon Junkers.
Ye cannae imagine me surprise t' 'ear me lads hae been nickelin' an' dimin' ye'z. *smiles sardonically*
Imagine, a Junker nae wantin' to pay aye more'n 'e has to fer a 'ting...
Oi dinnae ken ter be makin' hay of ye'z, but Oi think ye'll be finidin' we Congressmen are nae cut from th' same cloth, aye?
While one of our lads may balk at yon prices, another may be like ta 'trow 'is creds at ye'z.
Ye'z ne'er can tell, t'be sure.
Just be sure ye'z dinnae take th' actions o' one Congressman t' intone th' wishes of all'a Congress, aye.
Now, ye corporate lads can keep yer prices where'er ye'z tink they need be - fer wha'er reason be knockin' aboot yer skulls. *grins broadly*
An' we'll either pay whatcher arskin', or tell ye'z t' pess offt.
Nae need ter negotiate.
Sorry lad, ef ye'z think I come off as crass.
But Oi aint foolin' a soul by pretendin' nae to bloody well BE crass.
Comes wit' th' job, methinks.

That was a pretty decent answer. Thanks Finn. I'm rather surprised that someone negotiating a price is generating a special message. It's what we do. Now are you initiating this to make some sort of offer or do we just need to move on from here?
One of your congressmen, each of whom represent your group, was unhappy. I thought it suitable to ensure that you understand very clearly that that needn't be the case.
As for where to go, if you want me to make an offer, make one. Else, I'm perfectly happy for you to "pess offt" in Mr Finnegan's words.
[color=#FFCC66]Well i was in the new york system today and a fellow junker was in the dublin system he asked a BMM miner if he would be willing to fill him up. The reply he got was BMM do not mine for Junkers . he then proceded to call some of us pig farmers.
so you ask us to try and come to a deal for ore BUT your own miners not only refuse to mine for us but go on to insult us.
So i say why should we come to a deal if we are going to get insulted?
the call sign of the miner was Dink.Smallwood and he stated his "Bosses" told him not to service Junkers.
While it was said that the actions or words of one member don't represent that of the others, I'm afraid that doesn't mean we'll treat you as individuals. I'm sure you lot represent a group for a reason.
To that end, our miners copped some insults earlier on, and it was decided by the board that:
Given the insults by the congress, the congress' apparent disinterest, our lack of any need for your service and the broader history of Junker behaviour to BMM (which has included piracy and murder),
Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing sees fit to deny you service for the current time.
Should you wish to change this, do contact us further.
Oh and, while Mr Smallwood may see fit to call you pig farmers, that definitely does not reflect the greater view of BMM. That's about all I have to say, Mr Rico.
