August 29478 -- (OTPC) -- Philip Ross released an official statement regarding land auctions.

Fellow citizens of Rubi-Ka, I look out upon you every day and see that each step we take makes us stronger. It can be attributed only to hard work, dedication and loyalty that we have made it this far. You, the loyal citizens of this enigmatic planet, are at the front of the line in making these steps of discovery and exploration. You have all worked hard to forge this barren planet into a place that we can proudly call our home. It is for this reason that I have decided that now is the time that you, the true heroes of this planet, shall reap the rewards of our unrelenting progress.

We all know that Rubi-Ka holds many wonders upon her surface. Such beauty all around us from the depths of the Omni Forest and the endless dunes of the northern deserts to the waterfalls and the rivers of the central plains her landscapes are some of the most diverse in the universe. What once belonged to no one person is now set to be in your hands, the hands of the people who have worked so hard make it what it is today. Each one of you has fought hard to claim this planet as rightfully ours, and now, you may claim a small piece of land as rightfully and legally your own. Citizens of Rubi-Ka, this is my gift to you. We have all been waiting for this day.

This, my friends, is a formal announcement. As a gesture of my absolute appreciation for everything that you, the inhabitants of Rubi-Ka, have done to make this world what it is today. Let it be known that soon selected plots of only the most pristine Omni-Tek land shall be opened up for auction. You have earned your credits, and now, I present you with something worth spending those credits on. Any one of you with the capacity, either alone or en masse, to purchase these plots of land shall have full ownership of them, with no restrictions. This was always our land; now it can be yours.

how typical Ross! Instead of addressing the more important issues, such as peace, then the fool declear that he is willing to sell out lands... why? Aint the coffiens big enoguh for the Omni-Sheep Company already?

[Dabblez]

Quite right, Arila! I am certain the Clans will never stoop so low as to buying and selling land. Let this be one sin only Omni-Tek employees are guilty of!

[Fixerben]

Fixerben snickers as he reads the news.

[challer]

hmm.. i think we have to buy anyways if we want our own city in AI

[Trgeorge]

Hmm ...I was under impression OT only has lease on Rubi-Ka, and thus can't be given out to either employees or anyone else....futher more I doubt bad boy Ross has autority to do this within OT, after all he seem unable to control which troops are employed on planet....or just don't dare to take responsibility for that Ponny action.

On a side note :

Some employees already did that....remember miners....nice parcel 7ft below.

I'm sure Ross and other OT people worked this out with the ICC ahead of time...there is probally some long legal document filed somehwere...but it would make you're head implode unless you happen to be a lawyer. And this is Rubi-Ka...lawyers don't last any longer than a clean Clanner...so nobody outside of Omni-HQ will be making sense of this agreement anytime soon.

[citadel535]

As usual clans take a gift and put a spin for their anti-corporate propaganda.

[destrega]

It looks to me more like a call to war than anything else, spouting who deserves what.

[Malice42]

Man is AI land gonna be auctioned? I hope not because we dont really whana spend tons of cash against nemesis and stuff o.0!

[Vixentrox]

He didn't say it was just for Omni. Is OT-RK subleasing this? Jacobi of Vanguard was working a deal with the ICC too. Wonder how this ties in.

[revenant342]

You know what? I think it's time everyone stopped looking a gift bronto in the mouth. This may not be the answer to all of the problems we face, it isn't a cure for aging, it isn't world peace (though I doubt such a thing can EVER happen as long as a single human lives), but it's something. This kind of mindless bickering and finger pointing is what got us all in this mess to begin with, over 500 years ago. Instead of digging a deeper hole for ourselves, I suggest we start on a ramp out.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a house to buy.

[Skankman]

Heh well seems to be a nice gesture, giving back to the people who empower, but i guess that isnt good enough for some people who are never content with anything, and complain about everything. Im sure a few of the posters on here will lend a prime example to that, but I dont believe this is not a new concept so clanner fanatics please keep your pants on and we can all be happy. Who knows maybe you too will get some land (just hopefully somewhere in Wailing Wastes)

[Aulial]

Quite right, Arila! I am certain the Clans will never stoop so low as to buying and selling land.

Ya right, you're greedier than we are, it just pains you to admit it. You'll probably be one of the first to put stakes on land when Mr. Ross opens these up.

[Aulial]

Some employees already did that....remember miners....nice parcel 7ft below.

700 years ago - GET OVER IT.

[Baxie]

I'll offer 100.000 credits for Omni 2.

The way that beautiful city has been abused by those clan terrorists have seriously degraded the value.

I wont pay a nickel for that dump Tir.

[Blutfrau]

... so clanner fanatics please keep your pants on and we can all be happy.

Quite the opposite of what you usually say, Skanky!

Anyways, I think Ross should have said "All land to be given away free to the clans " then they naturally would disagree vehemently with him, and say "How DARE Ross try to give us all this land for free!"

Silly clanners, they dont stand FOR anything, just AGAINST what Omni-Tek does.

Too bad Ross cant fight against perma-death for clanners, then Omni wouldnt have to fight them anymore, the clans would be perma-deathing themselves en masse just to spite him!

/laugh as I enjoy the spoils of war (Nice view from Jobe Lux)

[Stefano-Kyren]

Just as I read somewhere, this is more of a War Declaration against the Clans in hiding. What makes Ross think that he has won this war? Perhaps he is betting all his hopes on these ignorant Unicorn? Either way, he is just a stupid Diplomatic Puppet.

[BigGreen]

So nice of Ross to give us something we have already. I'll remember to send him a card on his spawnday.

[_____________Mihalix]

All this claners are dirty animals and destroyed citys stuff from omni employes is getting realy boring! And again a repeat myself Omni-2 no longer exists now its called Old Athen! Get used to it! Whe sould get used to omni atroxitis from 700 hundred years ago but ur not getting used to the present! Omnis are so stuck up! You see yourself so superior! Well your not! Get used to that 2!
