Actually I just noticed we have 2 Elenil's.(Both owned by David's).
For the record I remembered he posted it when VoodooMike stole Silence.Its on the 4th page of that thread on the 3rd page of Warfare.

Wow, Marc! 1070 cats on your main? Colour me impressed, and remind me never again to piss you off Oh well, I finally cut the knot: if you're going to bend the rules and take a shortcut, best do it in style. I am not an expansionist, I'm a fortifier and therefore I will never have the sheer number of isles nor the time to produce more cats while still maintaining more than one big fleet, so I decided to simply buy me stuff from Shipper. After all it's a free game, I'm enjoying fireworks, and I want our future enemies to be equally "coloured impressed" ;D so I decided to spend some money on it. 600 cats and 40.000 stoners to be precise. Shipper is still calculating.... ;D

You paid real cash for them? How much? Does Shipper take Amex?

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D As I said, Shipper is still calculating -literally- but in spite of the promised "mass discount" <giggle> it's not going to be cheap, I can promise you that. But I reckoned: let's go crazy for once ! I've been thinking about this, buying additional cats, for a long time, but so far al the options seemed either "putting the horse behind the cart" like or too cumbersome. For instance you can buy 1 cat for 200 or 250 stoners, but hell no, I need those stoners as well ! Or pay 8000 gold for one, but then I'd rather build them myself for 5000 gold which is cheaper. I never had a real pressing shortage of wood not to be able to do this if I wanted. But in the end I decided I couldn't afford to miss the game gold or the stoners so when I saw accounts being offered (like Nidecker voor 80 quids) I was tempted to buy one to be used as cat+stoner production facility, but then I remembered the bother of Colmfinitos account (loonies banging on the doors, strangers sending me inhonourable messages and the sheer amount of time needed everday) and quickly put that idea in a rotten lifeboat ;D I looked and asked around and it turned out the only one trustworthy enough in my neighbourhood was Shipper with whom I already had contact. He told me nothing surprised him anymore when I told him what I was thinking of and that he had once sold 1500 cats and some 70.000 stoners to someone. He spent 3 hours just sending all that stuff on boats to me (he told me, I had 61 fleets coming in from 61 different isles) . I feel like I've been to the black market, buying stingers. ;D I'll tell you what it will cost me (I will pay with PayPal) when the final bill is in.

I'm negotiating at the moment with Shipper the price to be paid for 40K stoners (bar a couple of 120 that he forgot, but nevermind) and 600 catapults. This is how it all started: That's in pounds sterling by the way... Yesterday, after some delay, Shipper (Simon - a Polish 24 year old journalist with a steady blond girlfriend - yes the details one hears from time to time ;D) to which I replied (it's one hell of a lot of money for a "gig" like this: and his answer: Now if you're all thinking, "that Marc is nuts !!!" I can assure you I was thinking the exact same thing when the bill arrived. Simon seems to like haggling and negotiations over prices, however what he doesn't know is that the Dutch are not exactly the best candidates to try this with. I've stated my opinion that 50% discount, considering it's a game and on second thought and all that, seems fair to me and that we are that way down to 180 pound which correlates to the initial offer I knew about. Since this is 270 euros to me and it seems unlikely most accounts will yield that much on ebay anyway, my bid is in fact final. So if it's not enough, than I just give him back some of the stuff. If you ask a Dutchie for a price, it is going to be that price or none at all.I've put considerable thought in that decision and I've taken into account that he has spend 3 hours just to ship everything to me,, but in the end I think it's easy money to get 180 pounds for something immaterial in a game that his 188 isles can easily produce (600 cats will take his isles 3.2 days and then he can still produce 28K780 stoners simultaneously. But the long and short of it is: I must have been raging mad . Come on, spit it out !

And I think I got him by the balls now: Initial offer: 550 cats + 20K stoners = 260 pounds Actual offer 600 cats + 40K stoners = 360 pounds based on 600 cats = 240 and 40K stoners = 120, BUT... if 600 cats = 240 then 1 cat = 0.4 pounds so 550 cats = 220 pounds, leaving in the initial offer 260 - 220 = 40 pounds for 20K stoners. 40 K stoners = 2x 40 pounds (2x 20K) => 80 pounds then and NOT 120 pounds as stated lateron. Or alternatively there's something wrong with the price per catapult. ;D So I will assume that 600 cats cost 240 pound, but 40K stoners cost "only" 80 pounds instead of 120 that was mentioned. I'll now calculate a 50% discount and a 40% discount on the total price of 320 pounds (instead of 360) and then we get: 50% discount => 160 pounds 40% discount => 192 pounds so to finish it off and play his game a bit longer here, I'll settle for 45% discount which is my final offer and boils down to a mindblowing 176 pounds sterling or 4 pounds less than my initial offered settlement of 180. People best take it when it's offered and not start playing games involving calculators with me. ;D Which reminds me, he was 120 stoners short on his delivery....Oooooohhhooooo ! How much would that be ? So instead of ending up higher, he ends up lower. Never haggle with me. (I would otherwise never have offered 45% and instead have stuck with 50%)
