.TH Command OFFER

.NA offer "Offer a loan or treaty to another country"

.LV Expert
|

.SY "offer loan <CNUM/CNAME> <AMOUNT> <DURATION> <RATE>"
|

.SY "offer treaty <CNUM/CNAME>"
|
|
The offer command is used to offer either a loan or a treaty
|
|
to another country.
|
|
.s1
|
|
In the case of a loan:
|
|
.in +4
|
|
.s1
|
|
<CNUM/CNAME> is the number or name of the country to whom
|
|
you are offering the loan,
|
|
.s1
|
|
<AMOUNT> is the size of the loan.
|
|
(NOTE: do not use a dollar sign),
|
|
.s1
|
|
<DURATION> is the length of the loan in days,
|
|
.s1
|
|
<RATE> is the interest rate, (per <DURATION>), on the loan.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The program prompts with various questions concerning any
|
|
terms of the loan not provided on the command line
|
|
and sends a telegram to <CNUM/CNAME> announcing the loan offer.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If the other country accepts the loan,
|
|
(using the \*Qconsider\*U command),
|
|
the money will be transferred from your account
|
|
and you will be notified that the loan duration has started.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Note that the dependence of rate on the duration makes a 30 day loan
|
|
at 10% a worse deal than a 60 day loan at 15%.
|
|

|
|
In the case of a treaty:
|
|
.s1
|
|
.in +4
|
|
<CNUM/CNAME> is the name or number of the country to whom
|
|
you wish to offer the treaty.
|
|
.s1

|
|
and for the other country.
|
|

|

Note that the first six terms apply to interactions
|
|
between the two parties to the treaty while the last two apply
|
|
to ANY actions of the specified type.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Once you have offered the treaty,
|
|
a telegram will be sent to the other country indicating the offer.
|
|
If the other country accepts the treaty,
|
|
(using the \*Qconsider\*U command),
|
|
you will be notified that it has gone into effect.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Once signed, the treaty is not binding!
|
|
However, any violation of the treaty will be pointed out
|
|
to the violator in time for him/her to reconsider the action and will
|
|
find its way into the news.
