Which tier you are applying for:
Level ONE suits,
Why should you get it ?: Well, here we go.
Reason 1) I'm already roleplaying I have small contacts in the zone and outside of it, since I'm selling weaponry and other supplies already.
Reason 2) I'm also pretty rich at the moment, probably richer then most other people too.
I've been mostly roleplaying with freedom lately, getting them ammo and such. I've also sold a in characterly delivered flash grenade shipment to Goose (I RP'd someone bringing it, after around five minutes (Icly its been more) then I delivered them. Next off I started to buy weaponry, doing deals with Freedom. I've purchased around Five AK74u's now and sold two to various other people, still gaining massive profits. Now I've posted a special request to sell off my three AK74u's and I'm planning on having a special possible "relation" with freedom, selling them weaponry and ammunition at a discount if they agree to my offer. In return I expect protection, while they benefit from my profiting. I've already found a group of buddies too, the stalker Quake, who I also provide discounts to. As well as the rest of the Freedomers.
I Know that its kind of upgrading earlier, and it hasn't been exactly a couple weeks, BUT I believe that the circumstances are quite in order in my opinion (I've also had around a month or two of trader experience on the old script and I already have plenty of RU.) I keep on profiting from other peoples ventures, and im pretty sure I'm doing a damn good job as a trader, helping the economy grow.
Forgot to add this one, You can only choose a tier at the time.
Then i'm applying for suits.

IG Name: Eastwood
Which tier you are applying for: Level One Guns
Why should you get it ?: To put it simply, Eastwood is a long-time veteran trader of the Zone, having been here for a good few years. He's gained contacts in the black market, in the government, and with the various factions of the Zone. He's already established a nice deal with Military, dealt with Duty, and have close ties with the Birds of Prey slaving group. He's got a fair deal of cash already, and is itching to get a shipment in from his contacts out of the Zone. He's already had to turn people down due to not having gotten his supplies shipped in yet.
((I know I haven't been a trader for the first two weeks that this new script has been up, but I've been a trader for a long damn time.))
Ares already said that even though my app was good, he cant accept me because balance comes first and you NEED to be a trader for atleast a couple weeks more.
Ares more people need at least the basic gun/suit tier. Right now Duran is the only source of guns and when he's not on no one can get them OR people like Steven abuse the fact that no one can buy guns and sell AKs for like 4k each (which I guess is capitalism at work but isn't very fair for the players).

Agreed on that.
Fine. Killabreu and Steven, you are both accepted for weapons tier 1. And this is the only exepction. Next apps must wait atleast 2 weeks.
Oh and reguarding Steven, nothing wrong in it, if people ain't smart to turn up a deal, well, their fault.
Not everything should be about making the traders rich as possible at the expense of fucking over the player base because Silver can't make an economy that encourages competition. It's not that players aren't smart enough to turn it down it's that they don't have a choice. If you aren't on when Silver is on making stashes then you aren't getting a gun for free, since the stashes get sucked up in about 5 seconds. No traders except for Duran can sell guns so if you want to defend yourself at all (and you kind of have to since there's a lot of bandits and suckers out there) you need to get a gun which means you are forced to pay Steven's prices if your timezone prohibits you from being on when Duran is. Although now at least Killabreu and Steven will both have that flag so the competition should bring prices to a more reasonable level. At the same time though trader's attitudes shouldn't be "Let's get as rich as we can at the expense of everyone else" because that will kill the server.
But I guess it doesn't really matter to me if people want to keep gouging the player base and ensuring that they leave the server forever.
Traders are traders not for the love of helping humanity, but themselves, by getting rich.
I mean.. let's look in the Real life, people that actually do weapon smuggling and drug dealing, which is a sort of trade. So if you are saying Traders shouldn't think to get rich, then what the hell they should do ? Stay in the selling nothing ? 'Cos you need money to buy guns and then to sell them, but if you don't aim to be rich, how you can do that ?
I agree that being a trader is about earning money. You wanna be the richest, and if you don't well........ then you ain't a creature from this planet for sure. Tho it's indeed a bit lameish that most stalkers can't defend themselfs for shit and they can't pay the expensive guns of the traders.
I guess that's the disadvantage of a fresh start..... It's totally unbalanced.

Way to completely misinterperet what I am saying. I'll try and make this simpler.
Yes irl you want to make money. This is not irl. This is a
GAME, a multiplayer one at that. That means there are a bunch of people who all want to have fun. When you have all the weapons/power/money concentrated amongst very few players that is not fun for the majority of the server. Since Traders are where most of the server's wealth starts at it is their responsibility to make the server fun for other players. What they should
not be doing is hording all the money for themselves and taking advantage of the fact that they are the only people who can sell stuff. Because that means being a loner sucks and people won't play. And if people won't play then the server will die even more than it already has and no one will give a flying fuck about how rich you are.
Tl;dr
Don't be selfish, greedy assholes. You'll kill the server. (I'm talking about OOC greed, obviously ICly you're chars are probably expected to be greedy but what is frustrating is when traders have 500k and loners can't find work).
You know you don't HAVE to be ICly greedy bastards. Its not said in rules and its not set in stone that all traders are expected to be greedy. People should start being more individual with there characters instead of bad-ass own the entire blackmarket super stars that plagued the server beforehand. Whenever I get on my trader my prices are usually low and I try and make jobs even though I only have a thousand.
Lol'd hard at Steven marking shit up 500% earlier today in Freedom base.
If all you want to do is make e money you'll find yourself bored very quickly.
Alright Gentlemen, can you please stop talking about this here, and let the applicants to apply ? If you have to continue, make another post. Thank you.

IG Name: Imani Karkunov
Which tier you are applying for: Tier 2 weapons.
Why should you get it ?: First off, unlike most of the traders claiming all their 'contacts', I've actually RPed getting every one of mine. First off with Imani taking over Hawk's contacts and business (Yes I know he's back, but I didn't just lose them because of that.), and recently I've worked out deals with the Military, all IC and with Doom, to have my goods brought in safer, guarantee they'll get through the border, and get them in cheaper.
I've been ICly tradeing for months, this trader wipe doesn't erase all that RP. And, unlike a lot of them, I now have ties in the Military to explain how I can get high end shit into the Zone.
I may not be a rich fucker, but I'm not playing on this server to gather e-money. I'm here to RP, and make things better for the other people. Which explains my contacts with the Military, some contacts within Freedom, and anything else I've done. I may not have a stockpile of shit in my inv. to brag about, but I don't overcharge people to the point it's stupid, I'm not OOCly greedy for something that doesn't mean shit, and I'm here to focus on RP, which is NOT true for a lot of people claiming to be a trader for that reason.
Accepted, altought I don't think anybody haves the money to buy a pack of shipment of them weaps. Good luck with that.
SF Name: |HGN| Steven :D
IG Name: Stefan Devinci
Which tier you are applying for: Suits, Tier 2
Why should you get it ?: Another great week of roleplaying, I've tripled the amount of RU I had before this. I'm now part of a faction, The Smilodons. We're all armed. We roleplay helping stalkers and such, and we're organized overall (Just no group page yet, for some reason even though it got accepted). I do many jobs, on and off. Give lower prices to stalkers, charge more to faction members and such. I Believe i'm ready to take on the next tier to introduce some more things to the SRP Economy.
I've rp'd bringing in my shipments from various places. I don't asspull crap, unless I actually have it on my person at the time. I'm gaining funds from other people as well, who are "Sponsoring" me, in exchange for future discounts. I've also received donations (around 2k total so far) to do jobs (Which I am planning out) and give out things for stalkers. ICLY My person, Stefan is a wealthy trader so far. I believe that if I keep on doing these things, I should at least have more potential resources. At the moment, I'm taking "Special Orders" for a new set of outfits for The Smildon co-leader, a special mask that will act as a mask icly. I've earned a contact with the stalker "Quake" for new weaponry and now I'm roleplaying I have a contact outside of the zone, who can help me bring more armor into the zone.
Steven, how about you cool the fuck down and stop thinking I have nothing better to do with my life BUT seek you out. I'm a moderator on this thread, appointed by Exile, so I WILL be looking over anything you post on here, if you like it or not. Me telling you to provide more IC examples of why YOU deserve Tier 2 over other people is not auto-denying you, it's bringing up a point, so you can drop this bullshit you have with me. And actually, since you did as I asked(Save reapping in two weeks, but we'll drop that) I'll give you tier 2, Since you decided to give more IC reason. Was that REALLY that fucking hard to do? Was it REALLY that much more of a chore to pull off then trying to make me even more of a fucking enemy?
tl:tr? ACCEPTED.

IG Name: Estov Kalashnikov
Which tier you are applying for: Weapon Tier 1
Why should you get it?: I believe I should recieve it because i've had my trader for a while now, and i've had a trader beforehand so I think I can handle it. Now, for IC reasons. As mentioned in my back story, Estov had a supplier which he worked with before he came to the zone, however that supplier died. He was working on finding a new one and just happened to finally come by some information. He not long after finding the man, met up with the colonel of the Ukraine army and struck a deal allowing him to freely come in and out. He left he zone for a week in search of the supplier and found him. He then came to a deal that he would buy small fire arms and minor rifles and have them shipped to the zone. Any legal matters were out of the way since the deal with the colonel.
ACCEPTED. Go get your tier.

IG Name: Stefan Devinci
Which tier you are applying for: Tier 3 Suits
Why should you get it?: This week, Stefan has gained a large sum of rubles and weaponry to supply his fellow S.T.T. Members. Now arming them with some decent suits. Stefan seeks to expand his range, since he already has some people interested in suits (Quake interested in a Sunrise, etc. One S.T.T. Member wanting a mercenary suit and such) Stefan already has considerable amounts of contacts and resources at his disposal. His faction, The Smildons has also grown larger and larger. Stefan already has alot of interest in the S.T.T. Faction and plans to arm them with even better equipment, and ultimately profit from all of his investments he's made.
Basically. I've gained alot of stuff this week. 2 AKm's, 2 AKS74u's, a Viper 5, 2 Makarovs and other equipment (Mainly rubles). I concentrate on selling suits (And those cheaper ones) to stalkers if they are interested. Now that Exile has implemented even more suits to the menu (Leather jacket, Reinforced leather jacket and Reinforced variants to other armors as well) I provide stalkers with equipment for free, occasionally but not that often. I buy at lower prices and sell at higher prices like others as well. I'm working to help the economy too, in some ways that are profitable somehow in my eyes. I also plan on selling higher up equipment to those mercenarys employed by various other factions (Military, etc).
Denied. Allow some others to gain some tier ranks, and wait a bit longer then a week.

Why should you get it ?: I should get teir one suits/weapons because with all the new people coming into the server they need someone to supply them with some sort of defence against mutants/bandits and so on. Also not many traders are active when i'm on except for Paintcheck on his trader Hawk and I lose a lot of business because I can only sell ammo and basic supplies. Half the people I get either try to sell me guns I cant afford or buy guns I dont have. Basicaly I lose money either way and honestly it's like a kick to the nuts.

In return for giving them a slight discount, they are selling gear to me left and right. Not only this, but every now and then I'll run the arena (I haven't in a while, come to think of it). That's a good sum of profits, and seeing as Eastwood has had a good deal of contacts in his profession, it's about time he's started to contact them again.

Valentin seem to have found an ecologist willing to help out these stalker clans, financially in exchange for protection. The wealth and number of the stalkers is going large so is the number of equipment. Tier 1 guns aren't gonna cut it anymore. And the lack of better guns is wearing down on everyone.

Right, I understand the first part of me not being a trader long enough but not the second, What do you mean by "Doing real things on the server"? I'm confused.

Lictor met up with one of his close trader friends, Arthur 'Night' Hutchinson who he asked if he could supply him for a short while with the better gear until he could get a hold of Arthurs supplier who seemed much more laid back and relaxed. Arthur agreed to the deal and Lictor gave him the needed cash. After this Lictor took a small break from trading and ventured out to meet up with Arthurs supplier hoping he'd be more understanding.
OOC: Same reason as last time, no one wants to buy from me due to my lack of goods. This time however it's been two weeks since I applied for trader which meets the time required criteria AND I made an actual IC deal like you recommended. Two improvements from last time.

Lictor searched and searched but had no such luck finding anyone to give him work. Lictor was then approached by The Sanctioned leader, Valentin Dragonov, who enlisted him to sell goods to the Stalkers who hung out and the members of his faction. After doing this for some while, Lictor asked Valentin for permissions to dip his toes into their armory to sell some of their weapons and such to gain better income so he could further supply them. Valentin agreed and said he'd be glad to supply him with the more advanced suits that their old trader gave them.
OOC: I've waited three weeks as instructed by Rebel and I do believe I've returned from my state of inactivity. Dug also gave me permission to use the aforementioned IC reason as my IC explanation for this application.
Ehh.. What is this shit? More permissions? Fine. Since you were one of the only active traders. Congrats.

Which tier you are applying for: Tier 2 suits
Why should you get it ?: Because I'm one of the few active traders and it's been some time since I requested a tier. But to be honest, I have no IC reason. I could think of "ololol Nikolai haz connections to the guy who makes suits" but that would be rediciolus for me. I would be very thankful if I got tier 2.
Accepted - Just stay active. Give yourself the flag and go arm the stalkers.. and such.. Yeah.

Which tier you are applying for: Tier Three Weapons
Why should you get it ?:
IC: Lictor with his new respect gained, gathered up a fair sum of money and decided to contact Arthur's supplier again, asking to buy the most advanced weaponry he could serve him due to the several special and unique orders coming in. Lictor also received more advanced weaponry from the gear and loot that The Sanctioned brought back from raiding bandit camps.
OOC: Another two weeks has gone by since my last app and I'm really interested in getting the Tier Three Weapons due to more advanced players starting to ask me for specials like G36's SVD's and such, I'd like to help them out instead of just telling them I can't do that and watching a miraculous deal slip out of my hands.
Denied due to a recent incident involving you that has shown me you're not ready for the added responsibility of this tier.

IG Name: Nikolai Kotromanich
Which tier you are applying for: Tier 3 suits
Why should you get it ?: Namely because I want it. The people are asking for high grade stuff so it's best for buisness to get it. I'll be honest, I only get on my trader when people have need for one. But sometimes, I make an exception , when I'm in a good mood and do some passive with him. I think I should get tier 3, because I'm probably the only guy who doesn't put up 500 RU/1000 RU above price for weapons suits and etc. I like to keep the playerbase blind of base prices so they won't go "olololo do want AK74U for <input very cheap underpriced item here>".

Which tier you are applying for: Tier 3 weapons
Why should you get it ?: Well lets say I made a lot of money in one day and noticed the demand of tier 3 weapons, namely the SVD. I'm one of those traders who looks out for profit and gets on when there's no traders on at all. You have to understand I lead three factions and run events plus admin at the same time which tends to be hard. Either way, I sell high, buy low, have a lot of shit in stock including artifacts. And it works just fine. It's been a while since I requested a tier. I want tier 3 weapons because of my latest event "Hold the line!" , people will earn cash in the event, and will run out of ammo quick, but will need good guns too. See the catch? Going to do supply caravans for the cordon something like humanitarian aid. With guards , guarding the supply line.
Denied. Things are changing.

IG Name:Dominic Mihailov
Which tier you are applying for:Teir 2 Suits.
Why should you get it ?:For the most part I have been a very active trader, and have tried to be on my trader at least an hour or two each day I'm on SRP, and have also been selling many low-grade (Teir 1) suits. I think that having the next teir would allow more trading considering many of the rookies have been saving money for higher-grade suits. I belive it will help stimulate the economy and get more money out, as I also make many in game small missions for players to do.
I.C Reason : The contacts inside the zone which Dominic is affiliated with have recently agreed to pass on schematics for the sunrise suit to his own craftsmen.
His contacts outside and inside the zone also have began selling him more effective kevlar and impact-neglegent plating, making it cost effective for him to begin sellings Berrils and Sunrises, and improved mercenary outfits.
Accepted.

After joining them I learned that the leader "Valentine" is a man of many things, That includes supply me with contacts and other people that can farther our supplies to help clear this sector and as the sector becomes more dangerous, we need the new supplies to help defend and fight back.
OCC: Even though I have only been a trader for a couple months I had a lot of people asking for higher level weapons I do not have access to and because of other problems I do not know the other teir three traders are not able to be active and I think it would help

IG Name: Ilary Kasparkova
Which tier you are applying for: Suit's Tier 2
Why should you get it ?:
Following Ilary's recent success in establishing a business in the zone, word is starting to spread about a new, skilled lone trader.
After setting up in the freedom camp one particular day, several rough looking merc's climbed inside, and following them was a bearded man.
The bearded man had a mask to cover his face, and he talked with a very deep voice, telling Ilary that he had a proposition for him.
Ilary was to leave the base immediately, and in return he was going to be given a PDA note, containing several new supplier's with more advanced equipment.
The man smirked at him, and told him it was an offer he "couldn't refuse".
As the coward with zero fighting experience he is, he quickly packed his stuff, and left the base with the man's laughter not too far away behind him.
As he was sitting around a camp fire, he suddenly remembered the list the bearded man gave him.
He took out his PDA, and started looking at the different numbers and names, and finally started writing PDA PM's to each of them, introducing himself, his business and asked them if they were willing to "invest" in it by providing more advanced equipment.
Most of the number's didn't respond, and the rest of em' replied with something along the lines of
"Buzz off rookie, I haven't got time for you."
Disappointed, he lay down in the grass, when suddenly his PDA buzzed to life again.
The PM came from a man calling himself "The Dealer" and he simply replied with a time and location, and the words "Come see me friend, I am sure we can work something out."
Ilary was shaking when he entered the room, he thought for himself "This is the chance you've been waiting for, you cant back out now."
A heavily built man greeted him, and motioned for a chair in front of him.
Ilary nervously took a seat, and the man started talking.
He said that he had contacts within freedom that had told him what happened, and that those contacts assured that Ilary was a skilled and smart merchant.
Ilary relaxed a bit after hearing those words, and he became warm inside when he heard the man saying he'd love to do more business with him.
He was ripped out of his thoughts when the man suddenly banged his hand into the table.
He simply said "If you rip me off however, I will make the zone look like heaven if you compare it to what I'm going to do to you, do we understand each other?"
Ilary nervously nodded, and both men shook hands with each other.

Tier 3 Suits
Why should you get it ?:
[OOC] Well, I think I should get Tier 3 is because from before (My vacationing) I stayed active as long as I can for two weeks, but I didn't have the chance or time to apply for a Tier 3 Suits, so since I got back I decided to play a little, see what people want more. Tier 2 Weapons or Suit. Apparently more people wanted Tier 2 Suits than weapons (Because people keeps asking if I have Tier 2 Suits.) So, I just decided to just get Tier 2 suits.
[IC] While Night was away for a while, after he came back, selling off his stocked goods, he got a welcome back message, on his PDA, from his supplier, and later he got a shipment of new suits to sell.
I have to finally say it because my face is flat from the many times of connecting my palm to it. When I had started asking for IC reasons, I wanted you people to actually go to factions and work out trade agreements like I had done when I was a trader. Not, "Oh sudden asspulled contact lawl~".

Which tier you are applying for: Level...One? I think it's Level, or Tier One Firearms, or Weapons.
Why should you get it ?: [ 'Alara's' been getting supplied by a temporary merc' group dubbed, 'Pheonix.' They peer up to him to supply them their weapons and items, and he does a basic job at it. Having no weapons to sell from the buy menu, basically means I have to sell AK's for around two or three thousand, when I buy them for like...a thousand. It's tough, really tough and it could improve profit for when I sell weapons, to put more in to the general Economy for missions. This way I have a larger amount of funds for my events, and jobs as mentioned. My thesis is, if I can meet the demands better of my customers, and get their trust and love more, and WIN them over with low, but legal prices along with money to throw away on tasks to keep them occupied, they will come back. But step one is getting myself some Weapon Ship's to get this shit done. Rise to the top, gotta' start somewhere.
