The Emperor, of course! I wouldn't DREAM of bidding on it, I'm no traitor!

One of the greedy, squabbling lower Houses.

[a1s]

ACTACTACT:
Each and every Peasant on Cornucopia loves the Emperor as a son loves his father. One of them has submitted the following poem:

Spoiler: poem offering (click to show/hide)

In the vast expanse where stars do dance,
Rules the Emperor, Insanus Cancer.
His reign extends through cosmic chance,
A sovereign's gaze, a fierce romancer.

Galaxies bow to his command,
Nebulae sing in vibrant chorus.
Through voids and realms, his steady hand,
Guides fleets of stardust, bright and porous.

Crowned with rings of Saturn's grace,
And robed in swirling solar winds,
He governs each celestial place,
From red dwarfs' glow to black hole's spins.

His eyes, twin suns of blazing light,
Pierce through the darkness, clear and true.
In endless night, he is the might,
That shapes the cosmos, old and new.

Planets orbit in his honor,
Comets trail their fiery pride.
Constellations mark the banner,
Of his dominion, far and wide.

In realms where time and space do twist,
Insanus Cancer stands alone.
A cosmic king whose iron fist,
Holds firm the fabric we have known.

Oh, Emperor of Space, revered,
Your name resounds through silent void.
By your command, the stars have steered,
And we, your subjects, are overjoyed.

Hail to thee, in boundless night,
Insanus Cancer, bold and grand.
Through you, we find eternal light,
In the endless sky, forever spanned.

I sadly can not accommodate both requests (as I need to feed my own people for them to grow and multiply.)
Would First Mechanator consider buying 16 food for 12^?

Sure.

The The Forge shall send 12^ to House Ayes, in exchange House Ayes will send 16 units of food.

Going to advertise again, buying alloys, will pay 1^ for each! Up to 40!

Our lord guides us with countless fleets flying like the dove.
Standing on Earth and enshrined in our heart
Emperor Insanus Cancer, the Lord of all our love

The only path is Forgiveness Through Destruction to all who fail our Emperor above.
Past Treason Purged through Hellfire brings flame to all who forsake his art.
Our lord guides us with countless fleets flying like the dove.

The truth of Agony is a Traitors Reward brings forth greater adoration thereof.
Sight of the Crafting Tombworlds reminds all to keep to the Emperor's chart.
Emperor Insanus Cancer, the Lord of all our love.

His Five Golden Rings bind leal vassals to his glove.
The cry of Annihilation Without Remorse brings riches to him as a cart.
Our lord guides us with countless fleets flying like the dove.

Our Emperor's Investment in Deterrence protects us all in his love.
Reckless Effect in all his endeavors yeets them forward like a dart.
Emperor Insanus Cancer, the Lord of all our love.

Our Lord’s Overwhelming Odds of Success push back failure with a shove.
When Regrettable Choices Repaid come due we all rejoice in no small part.
Our lord guides us with countless fleets flying like the dove.

To Beg Forgiveness and Be Destroyed is the last thing to be thought of.
Insanus Cancer shall never depart.
Our lord guides us with countless fleets flying like the dove.
Emperor Insanus Cancer, the Lord of all our love.

ACTACTACT: I bid one of the many poems that have been written by my house since taking our fealty pledge.

Spoiler: an ode to His Majesty (click to show/hide)

Poet's note: The most important lines are the final three, in bold for His convenience.

Oh Muse, sing to me a tale of the Emperor's Love,
And of the Emperor's Fury. Of fallen House
Hideae, for whom saw His adamantine glove.
For they held secret scorn, shallow in their hearts.

To a banquet, the House Hideae brought poison most vile!
Oh, traitorous woe! Royal wine tester brought low.
Dark guile. House Hideae fled, as His hair did He style.
Such magnificent locks, flowing as a field of finest grain!

My beloved Emperor followed in The Final Repentance.
Oh bravest and smartest Emperor in a mighty ship,
To a hundred lessers, nay, a thousand, could deliver sentence.
House Hideae, to dumb to love Him, had only three.

My most cunning Emperor set for them a trap.
He pretended to be in a diplomatic shuttle
When they lowered shields to receive, countless lasers did zap.
Their lead ship exploded, the rest fled and were dispatched.

My virtuous Emperor granted Hideae His final mercy.
A gentle death. Bombs bearing a plague most swift.
Within the week, the planet rested silent. Thus ended Hideae's controversy.
Oh Emperor, my Emperor! All since have loved you, and forever will.

Your mercy and elegance are legend. Your beauty, grace and love
Marvelous hair and radiant genius, may you reign forever and ever!

[Kashyyk]

I'll buy your Food and Alloys Fox, are you willing to part with all 10 Food and 4 Alloys for ^12?

I'd be interested in buying your Alloys Nirur, and also possibly your Food. Would you sell the lot for ^17?

Actactact: I also present my poem:

Spoiler: Beneath the Stellar Crown (click to show/hide)

Look there, within this hallowed hall He stands.
As nobles dance in silent orbit round,
To bask within the aura, powerful.
One held by only those divinely crowned.

His steely gaze, a meteor's cold fire,
Whispers ignite, a current through the throng.
Loyal peers bow, a web of silk spun wide,
A silent pact, where none dare speak of wrong.

Ears bent, we listen close for wisdom's word.
His voice, soft velvet, prompts chilled and quiet glee.
And earned with vigilance and care by him;
Our Stellar patron of prosperity.

A warrior's frame, his guards with envy stare,
He crushes whole rebellions with one hand,
As jewels clink softly, peace is secure,
His mind a fortress of silent command.

[Nirur Torir]

I'd be interested in buying your Alloys Nirur, and also possibly your Food. Would you sell the lot for ^17?

No, I mostly meant the money, unless I'm given an especially good deal. I just bought that food from the NPC market (to avoid being "that guy who keeps buying all the food") it's mostly as a bank if I need to conscript a garrison.

[a1s]

I know you did it to avoid getting a specific reputation, but I would love to sell you 10 food for 8^ next turn. 20% below what the NPC market charges. You are without a doubt my favorite customer!

Disclaimer: The Emperor is my favorite overlord. if anything I'm the client there.
