Whenever I notice anybody request aid, I copy and paste their request into a security council proposal. I might write something like "forwarded message." I always pass it on, although sometimes I don't notice the message for a real week or so, so there can be a delay at times. On a couple of occasions I've noticed by the time I make a proposal for some presidents, they already renamed their country since they requested aid, and I think they've lost the vote both times.
I took it upon myself to handle these requests because I noticed several people requested aid on forum and nobody made any proposals. Sometimes people send me a private message and I'll copy that into a proposal. When the request is from a private message and the president renamed the country since sending the message, I'm not surprised if the proposal looks sketch. I'll pass it on anyway to watch it fail because that's what was asked of me anyway?? To make a proposal??? Sure there you go.
I figured that there's really not much else the security council seems to be there for other than making proposals, and specifically these requests for aid are the sort of proposals people are asking for. As a member of that security council thing, I guess I should listen to my fellow presidents pleas for aid; but I can't directly send aid, I just submit a proposal to be voted on. Although I am indifferent as to whether these proposals pass or not, I am sometimes interested to see whether or not they do.
It looks to me like aid can mean a lot to people, since they bring themselves to ask/demand it. I found it's not difficult to forward a request into a proposal, as it takes only seconds to handle that (copy/paste). So why not give the opportunity to our fellow presidents to pass their request onto a vote. I've noticed a lot of people seem unaware you can't receive more then 2T (hard limit) at a time however. Whenever anybody asks for 3 or 5 or whatever, I copy that along with the rest of the message, but again 2 is the hardcoded max. My seat will expire eventually though, so when that happens and I see requests/demands for aid, nothing I can do about that.
To summarize what I'm saying. . . I didn't volunteer to be on the security council, I was put there. It's too easy to submit the proposals, so I figured I might as well do it because I hadn't noticed anybody else doing it. Some pass, some fail. It happens.
In this case, I guess maybe the presidents want to pay off John Smith so he doesn't . . .destroy the world, right ??
Why's that remind me of an Austin powers movie.. ?. ?. . Hmmm. .. .. ..
