Saturday, November 22, 2008 - 12:54 am  Proposal for Corleone of "The Rise of Sicily" has been put forth! Please vote YES and support our responsible new presidents!
| |
| Saturday, November 22, 2008 - 02:39 am Thanks Kevin!
| |
| Saturday, November 22, 2008 - 12:43 pm I Personally believe that giving out the Aid is good for the overall global economy. The more money we give out, the more money is spent, the more money our corps make. On GR I have started Requesting aid for newer players with that goal. I also request it for new members who join our CM. The UC Common Market is an open market for all members and non members. Austia

| Monday, November 24, 2008 - 09:24 pm Good day all, I would also like to extend a branch of cooperation to my fellow Security Council members and also to all the President's of LU. I am honored to be one of the chosen members of the Security Council and have been an active participant regarding all voting periods during my term thus far. Any presidents who need assistance and follow the rules of making a proposal have my utmost cooperation regarding their needs as I would be more than happy to make a proposal to the Council. Kind regards, Chuck Steak - AwesomeWorld

| Thursday, November 27, 2008 - 06:28 pm So if I vote for the Elf. Do I get free cookies?
| |
| Friday, November 28, 2008 - 12:38 am Am I ever going to get aid because of that major fallout that hit my country? Remember? I was the guy that gut nuked in threes due to some glitch? I have rebuilt, but due to my own resources, I was hoping that I'd get a chance to invest in some population, instead of having to spend GC's on getting cash. Minauros got hit hard, and Phlegethos only got hit by one or two sets of three (Minauros had three pages of nuclear disasters) If possible, I'd like Minauros to be the beneficiary 
| |
| Friday, November 28, 2008 - 02:33 am Yes Fngorh, I will personally see to it that a shipment of double-stuff Oreo's are sent to all nations of your glorious empire! Asmodeus, are you looking for monetary aid or relief supplies? Bit late for RS, but MA, that we can do. Perhaps Arkh Mori or Chuck Steak would be so kind as to put forth the resolution? If not, I will do so ASAP.
| |
| Friday, November 28, 2008 - 02:42 am I think that's what you said last time ;) Yeah, I was looking for the 5T :D My countries should all be unlocked. Personally don't care much about the secrecy - even the news bars are on And, in regards to your "nuke" clause - anyone who's got them, has them in their CEO's storage, why pay upkeep when you don't have to? True, they're kinda hard to get back, with the 1T limit in purchases, but hey, better that than pay non-stop, right? Oh, and I do have a strategic index, due to bases, and airports - they increase my allowed flights per day for relief supplies.
| |
| Friday, November 28, 2008 - 04:12 pm @ Asmodeus: I check strategic index and ignore bases / airports. I accept that once you've got 1, you're stuck with it no matter what. I don't bother to put my nukes into CEO storage and can't really be bothered to do that either. Running 12 countries is time consuming enough for me. As for your aid request: Minauros receives 5 Trillion as untied development aid. The resolution is accepted. The cash position of Minauros has been increased. The Resolution was a proposal by Arkh Mori with the following motivation: Vote Yes. This president has been the innocent victim of nearly two dozen nuclear attacks due to the War, with trillions in damages. It could be YOU who gets chosen NEXT! Vote Yes! 94 presidents voted for the resolution and 71 presidents voted against it. You voted for the resolution. Resolution accepted on Sep 7 2327 and effective until Mar 7 2350 - So I'm guessing you'll get your paycheck in 12 more years. Don't complain to us SC members about the red tape delay...that's all W3C's fault. Oh and as an FYI - I fully recognize that once the money is handed over, a player can buy all the nukes they want and there's not a darn thing I can do about it.
| |
| Friday, November 28, 2008 - 07:43 pm General Note: The money is transferred at the time the resolution is accepted. Asmodeus must have not noticed the transfer.
| |
| Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 02:51 am I would love to be put up for a resolution United Kingdom of Belkin Nordyke : Leader

| Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 03:59 am @ Nordyke Correct Country Name: The United Kingdom Belkin Please unblock your financial index and strategic weapons index. @ LU Community I just proposed a resolution for Keblar Elf Empire.

| |
| Friday, December 5, 2008 - 12:43 am Whats the deal with Cfballer's empire aid? Trying to slip one past? Give money to a country with high secrecy and 41T in leader nation? No thanks.
| |
| Friday, December 5, 2008 - 12:50 am Angus you are more bitter than a Scottish Widow with lepresy.
| |
| Friday, December 5, 2008 - 04:17 am I need aid in my country.
| |
| Friday, December 5, 2008 - 06:08 am My country is the independent state of Zonua
| |
| Saturday, December 6, 2008 - 02:01 am I have put forth a proposal for "Caliphate of Gez". Outstanding Requests The Independent State of Zonua * After reviewing this country, I think the president has great potential! And, of course, he meets all the aid conditions listed on this thread.
| |
| Saturday, December 6, 2008 - 02:49 am I have put forth a proposal of aid for the Independent State of Zonua. Have we missed any others?
| |
| Saturday, December 6, 2008 - 03:03 am I *think* we have covered our bases...for now. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks Martock!
| |
| Saturday, December 6, 2008 - 03:18 pm Grayson301 has requested aid for Graysville. However, his financial and strategic indexes are both still hidden. Please remove the blocks on these and then a request will be put forth.
| |
| Sunday, December 7, 2008 - 07:10 am It looks like the 5T of aid was given to my slave, Republic of VA. As I promised I would like to give this aid back to someone who meets the requirements and is in need of it. Kevin, Martock, or member of security council, who should i give this aid to? Please let me know and we can arrange a way for it to be transferred!
| |
| Monday, December 8, 2008 - 07:06 am Cfballer, one of us will get back to you on this as soon as we can. I think it's a matter now of trying to find more players in need.
| |
| Wednesday, December 10, 2008 - 12:14 am Note: Cfballer transferred the $5T to me. I will work out a transfer with the next qualified person who is in need of aid. And I thank Cfballer for his generosity.
| |
| Wednesday, December 10, 2008 - 03:03 am Excellent. Glad to see this was resolved.
| |
| Wednesday, December 10, 2008 - 03:19 am Well done CFballer.
| |
| Thursday, December 11, 2008 - 03:12 am I have put forth a proposal of aid for Bakronesia.

I have figured out how to stop the weapons busy for defense forces and have tried to focus on upgrading the infrastructure and corps. i had to learn like all of us. but with a little aid i could Grow to a Reasonable size and my economy could grow please help. I WILL UNHIDE ALL DATA
| |
| Saturday, December 13, 2008 - 05:26 pm Good day! I'm Edward from Federal of Giant. SOrry, Martock for sending you some messages. Just happen to read your thread here. Country name: Federal of Giant Request Aid Packages Financial and Strategic Force Index is open now.
| |
| Saturday, December 13, 2008 - 05:45 pm Federal of Giant meets the aid conditions. Graysville also meets the aid conditions. I would like to handle both requests. I plan on transferring cfballers aid to one, and proposing SC aid for the other.
| |
| Saturday, December 13, 2008 - 08:02 pm Okay, so here's the outcome: 1) The president of Graysville met me on IRC and we went through a GC swap, which resulted in him being $6T richer ($5T from cfballer and $1T from me). It was funny, after the swap, he asked, "Now, do we do it again?" Lol, I explained that was all the aid he gets! But, I think it was a good use of aid. Although, his country is turning a small profit, he was $2.5T in debt. He's adjusting to become a very good president, for example, all his corps are hiring at 100% and he's now lowering his taxes from 75% to 20%. 2) I have submitted a SC proposal for the country "Federal of Giant". To my knowledge their are no outstanding requests. I would like to thank the LU community for consistently supporting the aid proposals. I do believe they encourage and lend a helping hand to our new players. Just a fun fact, since Martock started this new initiative, the security council fund has dropped less than .02%! So I hope people will continue to support the aid requests. Thanks!
| |
| Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 02:53 am No offense to anyone, but I am against aid to countries. I started this game over a year ago, and quickly found myself in debt. Mainly because I was inexperienced and tried to build an army my country couldn't afford, like so many other noobs out there now. I started reading the forums and the documents and quickly realized what I was doing wrong. It took some time but eventually I got out of debt. If a country is in trouble due to an unprovoked war or something like that, then yes they are entitlted to aid if everyone agrees. Like any other game, there are rules to read before you start playing. Get an understanding how to play a game(like this one) and most players shouldn't get in debt. I found with this game that patience is the key.
| |
| Sunday, December 14, 2008 - 03:07 am started up 3 days ago so definately meet the newb conditions. as have no strategic weapons watsoever so no problem there. just starting to get some defensive stuff up to get to lv 2 and used up a bunch of gc on cash so ofcourse im sure i will need endless amounts more to achieve my goal of lv 4 in 1 real life month. ShaunzLand
| |
| Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 03:47 am I have put forth a proposal for aid for ShaunzLand. Please vote Yes to support it. @ Keto, not everyone is able to pull out of debt as you were. It doesn't take much to get a nation into debt. Besides, there'd be little for us to do on the SC without giving out aid.
| |
| Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 03:52 am Less than .02%?! Damn. I thought we would have dropped it a bit more. Wish we could up the amount then...still, I think we've actually managed to hand out more aid in the past few weeks than ever before. I think anyways. How'd you manage to figure that out Kevin?
| |
| Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 04:53 am @ LU Community Please vote yes for the aid to Shaunzland when it comes forth. After speaking with Shaun in messages it is clear that he has ambitious goals for himself and his country. But it is also clear his goals are in line with what's in the best interest of LU. For example, his tax rate is at 0% and he has been actively inviting CEO's into his country. Also, he has been steadily adding population to keep up with the CEO's. @ Martock I just used the difference between the current security fund balance and the amount you cited at the top of this thread .
| |
| Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 06:13 am all of these aid proposal emails are driving me nuts!!!
| |
| Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - 09:36 pm The Kingdom of Monca requests aid
| |
| Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - 03:38 am @ Joe You recently received security council aid, so I would be hesitate to create another proposal without some special circumstance.
| |
| Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - 09:38 pm The Republic of Gonsasa requests aid
| |
| Thursday, December 18, 2008 - 02:39 am I have created a proposal for The Republic of Gonsasa. The country does meet all of the conditions listed at the beginning of this thread. Please vote yes!
| |
| Thursday, December 18, 2008 - 02:51 am I have voted yes to support this proposal. I urge all active SC members to do so. I would also request that every vote Yes to support the aid package for Shaunzland.
| |
| Friday, December 19, 2008 - 04:12 am Outstanding Requests rem150292 has requested aid for the "Land of rem". Bismarc00, in his own words: "the Theocratic Republic of Luxis requests development aid to better grow our nation and contribute to a peaceful world, economically and politically." * I have had contact with both presidents and both countries do meet the aid conditions.
| |
| Friday, December 19, 2008 - 04:15 am Before you give out aid, I would like to suggest that you look at the presidents fed first, otherwise it may get taken back. Rem150292 - you are dropped from my attacks. But if I were you, I would choose your next fed and allies a little better.
| |
| Friday, December 19, 2008 - 04:20 am Stuart - That's a great point. I can speak for myself when I say I do keep that in mind. Just for clarification, rem150292 is no longer in the questionable fed and was not aware of the issues with it and its president until recently.
| |
| Saturday, December 20, 2008 - 07:56 pm I will not penalize a new player for being in any particular fed. That being said, I will vote for and support any proposal for aid for ANY new player regardless of their affilations. If they are in a 'questionable fed', and I view it as such, I might make a suggestion to leave or look elsewhere for assistance but I won't allow that to sway my vote. Anyway, have there been any new requests for aid? I'd love to know just how much aid (in dollar amounts) we've managed to give out.
| |
| Saturday, December 20, 2008 - 08:02 pm Give the whole lot away is what I say. Who cares who's with who, or how big there empire is. 5 trillion aint shit in this game. When im on the SC I will try and give it all away.
| |
| Saturday, December 20, 2008 - 09:47 pm Outstanding Requests rem150292 has requested aid for the "Land of rem". Bismarc00, in his own words: "the Theocratic Republic of Luxis requests development aid to better grow our nation and contribute to a peaceful world, economically and politically." jake0352 has requested aid for "imperial soviets of upsilon". He plans on using the aid to build schools and work on his economy.
| |
| Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 05:29 pm First, I put forth a proposal of aid for Land of Rem. Secondly, I got this request for more aid from Gaius Brutus. His empire (3 nations) all meet the requirements I put forth above. He's not spending absurd amounts on building up a military nor is he pursuing strategic weapons. He's also not lying about his nations debt. Quite frankly, I'm not opposed to putting in another round of aid packages for his empire but I would rather we at least clear out the 3 listed above OR's before we look to aiding GB. Worst case, if he puts up GC's, we might be able to purchase them at a more favorable rate. Any thoughts? His nations: The Kingdom of Rome (Main) Southern Kingdom of Rome (Satellite) Eastern Kingdom of Rome (Satellite) Can you put my country Southern Kingdom of Rome up for 5T untied aid. This will really help my country get out of debt. Yall got like infinte dollars sitting around, using 5T of that to help my economy won't hurt no one. The secretary council already send me some aid earlier and that got me almost out of all my debts. I'm currently in debt still. My whole empire average is -11.28T. My debts range from 10T-16T dollars. I see the secretary council accepting proposals to aid rulers with empires ranging from 6-16 countries. So an empire with only three countries won't be hard to accept. Please send me aid. Thank you.
| |
| Sunday, December 21, 2008 - 09:15 pm I put forth a proposal for aid for the Theocratic Republic of Luxis. Outstanding Requests jake0352 has requested aid for "imperial soviets of upsilon". He plans on using the aid to build schools and work on his economy.
| |
| Monday, December 22, 2008 - 05:39 am I don't have any gc's so my only option is to get that aid. Can all my countries recieve the 5T aid or is it an account thing?
| |
| Tuesday, December 23, 2008 - 12:51 am a good question would be why is it all your countries are in such huge debt?
| |
| Tuesday, December 23, 2008 - 05:36 pm would like to recieve aid for "Adamsfield" . I just started the country last night, but would like a few T to start off attempting to earn lvl 2. Thanks, Jab
| |
| Tuesday, December 23, 2008 - 05:49 pm To; LU Security Council members. Ref; Gaius Brutus. When I first came accross this president, he was heavily in debt due to overspending on his military. I tutored him to help him try and get his countries back on track. At one point, his empire owed more than 140T over the 3 countries. He is now a member of CIS Academy, and I have helped him out with favourable GC transfers as he does actually seem to be learning more about the game now. Sadly, there is only so much that I can do. I do GC transfers for other presidents that approach me too, even if they are not members of CIS (which helps to subsidise who the SC cannot), but there is only so much that I can do. I have had to set a budget for this kind of transfer, as in the first month I offered to do it, I paid out something like 80GC in aid transfers. Gaius Brutus is a credit to his federation, is very active, and is now learning the game after deactivating or destroying a large proportion of his armed forces. His countries are now profitable, and to help him out further, I would ask the esteemed Security Council members to consider offering a 5T united development aid package to each of his countries. I understand if this is not an acceptable request, but this guy is learning, and with 0% tax in each of his countries, he is CEO friendly too. Thankyou for your time. Stuart Taylor Chairman, CIS.
| |
| Tuesday, December 23, 2008 - 09:34 pm @ Stuart I appreciate your help in supplementing the SC when you're able too. The problem is we typically have a waiting list and to sponsor multiple countries from one president does not seem fair to me personally. Maybe another security council member feels differently. I will add one of his slaves to the waiting list, and leave it up to individual SC members if they want to go beyond that. * Jabberwock's aid is being proposed by Laguna. Outstanding Requests jake0352 has requested aid for "new soviet union". He plans on using the aid to build schools and work on his economy. Gaius Brutus has requested aid for "Southern Kingdom of Rome". ConnorMawn has requested aid for "The Empire Of The New Republic".
| |
| Tuesday, December 23, 2008 - 09:45 pm Thankyou Kevin. Your response is much appreciated.
| |
| Wednesday, December 24, 2008 - 02:33 am Thats for putting it through, Security Council. Jab
| |
| Wednesday, December 24, 2008 - 03:20 am Just for the record, I don't have any problems with sponsoring multiple countries for new players as I myself was such a recipent early on in my history. In the case of Gaius Brutus, his appeal appears sincere and his nations have the debt. He stated he had even gone so far as to get rid of weapons to curtail expenses. I agree with Kevin that those on the waiting list should come first but I certainly won't oppose such a request. I will put forth the proposal for jake0352 - new soviet union within a day or so. If the list drops down, I will also put up a proposal of aid for The Kingdom of Rome.
| |
| Wednesday, December 24, 2008 - 03:25 am Thankyou Martock.
| |
| Wednesday, December 24, 2008 - 05:34 am Thank you guys for helping. Me and all my citizens appreciate it. I guess thats what I get for trying to have a huge military when I was just starting out. lol. I'm only a full member until July of 2009, I will try to expand it further when I can. I am a patience young man so I can wait for the aid. Thank you again everyone.

| |
| Wednesday, December 31, 2008 - 02:56 am Outstanding Requests Kijid515 has requested aid for The Commonwealth of kijid. @ Shaun - I don't know if buying a country actually makes it 'conquered' or not. Your first C3 should be easy to take if you take what W3C says for granted. I bought my first C3 as well but that was before all the goodies were granted to new players.

HOWEVER, he has 2 newly opened plutonium mines (both nationalised) renamed as Ski Boot Warmers and Turbo Seat Warmers. (Though I must admit to enjoying the Brick Corp named Xmas Cookies)
| |
| Friday, January 2, 2009 - 11:11 pm I submitted an aid proposal for The Commonwealth of kijid. Failed to Comply I skipped over Huntland, because this president has a slave country with an active plutonium mine. William Dio has requested aid for "The Federation of Hannover", however he has a slave country with a plutonium mine and a tactical nuclear weapons corp. Outstanding Requests none?

| Saturday, January 3, 2009 - 10:42 pm I have put forth a request for aid for Finlandia.
| |
| Sunday, January 4, 2009 - 03:05 am what happen to the good ole days of starting off with a country that had less then a trillion in it and doin your damndest to get it running and have it top out in less then 3 months as the 4th most financially sound country on LU and stay there for quite some time? I did it with no aid on purpose just to prove it can be done but for those that are struggling take the time and send in your requests to these kind people get that extra 5t and use it to improve your infrastructure so that your economy can grow faster. dont spend it on weapons though it may be very very tempting
| |
| Sunday, January 4, 2009 - 05:07 pm Absolutely nothing has happened to those days. I believe they still exist but that grasping the economic side of this game can be difficult. It was for me admittedly but I eventually got the hang of it.
| |
| Sunday, January 4, 2009 - 11:11 pm I'd like to apply for aid (country name Karff). I've just hit level 2 and want to spend my coins on population, along with taking a second country now. Extra cash will allow me to keep my infrastructure up to speed and help establish my second country fast.

| Tuesday, January 6, 2009 - 09:06 am Karff aid is proposed Please propose for Seocitic as you become able.

| Wednesday, January 7, 2009 - 12:36 am shaunzland3 my newly acquired nation is horribly in debt with over 15T in loans, so much i cant build corps so ceos plz relocate and move in your upgraded corps i am permanently lowering taxes to 0%. also it has hardly any hospitals and schools and some 700k untreated wounded and has just had an earthquake so can i get some general disaster relief? some mobile hospitals or something to keep my people alive? and how do i make my own disaster relief units? also will it be eligible for 5T in aide?
| |
| Wednesday, January 7, 2009 - 01:18 am Martock - I've got some stats for you! Assuming Keith's proposal is accepted, that will be our 25th successful proposal! That means we've handed out 125 trillion! Since you began this initiative, the security council fund balance has only decreased by about 6%!
| |
| Wednesday, January 7, 2009 - 01:26 am Seocitic aid is proposed. @ Shaun Your leader country makes over 400 trillion per game month and is ranked # 1 on LU for finance. Therefore, I personally do not feel comfortable submitting an aid proposal for you. However, since you do meet the aid conditions, maybe another security council member will nominate you.
| |
| Wednesday, January 7, 2009 - 01:36 am I heard that the money is collected as $125,000 per million population. Now we go for a little math lesson ladies and gentlemen $125,000 x 55,272.9M population ___________________________________ 6,909,112,500,000,000 simplified this becomes 6,909,112.5M or 6.91T per game month 6.91T x 6 = 41.46T per real life day Little Upsilon Security Council can theoretically award 8 aid packets a day and still turn a profit. If you are relatively new I highly encourage you use the aid that they can give to boost your ECONOMY AND INFRASTRUCTURE If money is awarded don't use it to fund military build up as it will usually end up badly With Regards, Dragoon
| |
| Wednesday, January 7, 2009 - 01:41 am I must Agree with Kevin about you not needing aid but for a completely different reason. Upon seeing your last post I logged into LU and scrolled down and noticed that you had already declared war on another country with the one that your requesting aid for. Shaun, when you take a C3 you are accepting any debt that it has associated with it. My suggestion, only take a C3 if its not in debt and you can straighten it around in a rather short amount of time. Also you could transfer in 3T per game month from your main to pay off said loans. With Regards, Dragoon

| Thursday, January 8, 2009 - 03:28 am That's damn impressive! I wish we could do more though. Any more outstanding requests?

| |
| Sunday, January 11, 2009 - 05:38 pm Hello, I am the new president of a country called Carmen Ira on Little Upsilon. I have a friend helping me through the process of setting up and pointing me in the right direction. He suggested that I sign up for aid to help grow my infrastructure. I have taken off the secrecy parameters of my country and await a response from the SC. Thanks! wainetrain

| Sunday, January 11, 2009 - 10:14 pm Carmen Ira meets the aid conditions. I have put forth an aid proposal. Please vote YES!

| Monday, January 12, 2009 - 06:41 am Voted Yes to support.

| Friday, January 16, 2009 - 12:32 am Bacup of "The Grand State of Bacup" has requested aid to develop his country. He meets all the aid conditions. I have put forth an aid proposal. Please vote YES!
| |
| Friday, January 16, 2009 - 03:01 am Voted Yes to support. Seems like aid requests have kinda dropped off. Bit strange since we're giving it away for nothing more than a simple request.
| |
| Saturday, January 17, 2009 - 10:30 pm gino0921 has requested aid for "the grand state of sinthia sol".
| |
| Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 12:22 am I have put up the proposal of aid for The Grand State of Sinthia Sol. Please vote YES to support.
| |
| Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 01:40 am gofklowen has requested aid for "New Amsterdam".
| |
| Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 05:25 pm I would like to request SC aid for "Industrial Valkyrie". I am a pretty new player and have been selling weapons to get cash for Schools, Hospitals, and new Corporations.
| |
| Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 06:55 pm Industrial Valkyrie meets the aid conditions. Outstanding Requests gofklowen has requested aid for "New Amsterdam". Mazer Rackham has requested aid for "Industrial Valkyrie".
| |
| Sunday, January 18, 2009 - 09:14 pm Keith has submitted a proposal for New Amsterdam!
| |
| Monday, January 19, 2009 - 10:02 pm I am in need of some aid. I want some CEO's to come and I can't because of enough workers. I am trying to fiqure this game out as I go. I think an influx can keep me afloat till I get the hang of it. Thank you for any consideration.
| |
| Monday, January 19, 2009 - 10:30 pm We need your country name to put in an aid request (this will also allow us to look up your country and dispense advice on how you can deal with your workforce problems)...
| |
| Monday, January 19, 2009 - 10:41 pm Bigdadd Newsom's country is named "The Democratic Union of Aaron". It does meet the aid conditions. Sadly, my time on the Security Council has ended. It has been a pleasure. I will continue to pass along any requests I receive and, of course, I will always vote YES!
| |
| Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 01:46 am I recently proposed aid myself, so sadly I will have to wait, unless someone else on the SC requests aid for you, Newsom. I did take a look at your country. Right now you do NOT have enough population to support building more corps. However, if you want CEOs to come, you can invite them to BID ON your state corporations. You will be paid for the market value of your corporations, plus 50B extra for a newer, lower-value corp, 100B extra for a more mature corp. This decision is completely up to you; however hostile bidding is generally not welcomed in this game. Therefore, the vast majority of CEOs will not bid on state corps unless invited to do so.
| |
| Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 06:04 am No Corp Tax 7...needs some financial support. With the drop in profits and the fluctuations in the cash market, it can no longer buy the gold coins each month to support itself. I'm thinking 50T or so will get me by for a couple months. If you need some quid pro quo, I'm on the GR SC. Help me Keith Allaire...you are my only hope. ;-) Sincerely, Daconia Failing the aid..CEOs are once again welcome in NCT 7 and 4. I'll have the labor problems fixed in NCTs 2,3,5,6,8 and 9 shortly and CEOs will be welcomed there as well.
| |
| Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 06:04 am I created a SC proposal for The Democratic Union of Aaron. I do agree with Keith though. You are going to have to purchase additional population and / or sell off all of your state corporations.
| |
| Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 04:57 pm I would like to put a request for aid please. Is 5 trillion possible as I am seeing several votes for such help. I am in high debt and have been forced to close many of my corps Thanks!
| |
| Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 07:11 pm Thanks, will begin that process now. Anything to help get my country stronger.
| |
| Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 08:32 pm I bid on six of your corps; the proceeds should just about cancel out your debt. And you will still make money off the country resources fees I pay you I noticed as I was bidding that you have contracts, local market, I assume. Go into your auto settings, (settings/automation/automatic systems), make sure the automatic building of new corps box is NOT checked, make sure the automatic ordering of products your country needs IS checked, and (very important!) set requested quality for products your country needs to 100. Then go and cancel your local market contracts, as buying 100 quality goods from world market is MUCH less expensive, and you make money off of selling goods at higher quality... Unfortunately, I still can't propose aid because I still "recently proposed" it.  Could another SC member please move aid for The Democratic Union of Aaron? Thank you
| |
| Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 08:41 pm Is there any way to ask for more people to be transferred to my country? I am bidding coins ATM but never win the bids. 1.2 million people would help my primary country as I just had to close my last company in it. Thanks!
| |
| Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 08:45 pm ok just looked over my 2nd country. -880B debts, -17B cash, etc etc etc... I'm in ruins! I can't transfer any assets from country to country so I'm locked in. Or is there a reset feature to start over??? P.S. Is there an option to turn off accepting loans automatically? I have tons of loans that my companies received but I never wanted them. Thanks!
| |
| Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 09:29 pm I'm posting screenshots of my empire to look at. I also uncheck my financial secrecy so you should have something to look at now

| |
| Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 10:21 pm MM, you CAN transfer money from one country to another. Go to the My Empire menu, then transfer money. Select the country to receive the funds, then you will be prompted to appropriate the amount you wish to transfer. To save yourself from having to add tons of zeroes, you can use M to denote million, B to denote billion, and T to denote trillion...i.e. three trillion becomes 3T. Panic is not required EDIT TO ADD: Population bids are far more likely to be accepted if you bid directly from the gamemaster...those auctions close in a half hour or so, and the gamemaster periodically adds offers for pop.
| |
| Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 10:22 pm Mad Money I is in "secured mode". Sell your weapons to generate cash and lower your expenses.
| |
| Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 01:44 am from the game master directly? How? That's a nice idea. Thanks!
| |
| Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 02:11 am when you're on the bid for population transfer page, look for stuff like this on the bottom of the page 1,000,000 people from Simcountry.com GameMaster 5 coins 0 - Jan 22 bid bid on those offers, they'll get accepted faster
| |
| Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 03:06 am Damn that sucks that you've left the SC Kevin Henry. You are a most welcome ally in this effort to distribute aid to the masses. I put up a proposal of aid for Industrial Valkyrie. @ Money Matters and Keith Allaire: Please create a new topic for your discussion. I would like to keep this thread for aid requests only. Outstanding Requests ??
| |
| Saturday, January 24, 2009 - 12:24 am I'm voting against the Industrial Valkyrie Proposal. This person already has 10 trillion hands on.
| |
| Saturday, January 24, 2009 - 07:57 am I agree with the above post. I will be voting NO for aid for any country that has positive net assets.
| |
| Saturday, January 24, 2009 - 08:40 am Positive net assets? Isn't that standard just a little harsh? You would vote against aid for a country with 3T in debt, yet 5T in state corp market value, thus 2T net assets? I find that position to be particularly extreme.
| |
| Saturday, January 24, 2009 - 12:09 pm if they have 5T in state corp value they arent a total n00b anymore keith. thats quite a lot. you start out with at most around 2T in state corp value for most any c3. many much less than that.
| |
| Saturday, January 24, 2009 - 04:25 pm I agree with Keith. A new player shouldn't be penalized simply because they have a clue of what they are doing. I think having positive assets is an even better reason to support that player's growth.
| |
| Saturday, January 24, 2009 - 04:59 pm I voted of course to support it. Seriously, he's a new player and meets the requirements. I never stated a player had to have debt in my requirements so I don't have any problems with giving away free money. If anything, it will help him that much more to improve his country.
| |
| Sunday, January 25, 2009 - 12:45 am Can I just make the security council aware of strategic aid voting please? Kingasia is offering 5T of SC aid to King Hezekiah, who has in the past already received 10T in aid. This president will use the cash to increase his military to attack members of what he calls, The Axis Forces. There are many mentions of this on the forum. Thankyou.
| |
| Sunday, January 25, 2009 - 12:54 am I don't think it is all that difficult for a player to build enough corps to create an overall positive net asset amount. This does not mean they shouldn't receive aid. They could have built too many corps, gone into debt, and then can't build the infrastructure needed for the corps. 5T is a huge help to a new player who is willing to invest it in education, roads, and hospitals. We should not punish those who have done modestly well.
| |
| Sunday, January 25, 2009 - 06:14 am Saw that and voted NO to that abuse of power by Kingasia. Till my time is up on the SC, I will vote any suspicious proposals by Kingasia down. @Zentrino - Well said, I don't think I could have stated that better than you did.
| |
| Sunday, January 25, 2009 - 07:54 am He just created another one, Martock.
| |
| Sunday, January 25, 2009 - 07:59 am Jeez - this guy is just using the SC as a bank for his friends. Something needs to be done, or else we will have 2 RL months of this..... If he carries on, I will assist any SC member wishing to take military action. It wouldn't be so bad, but The Land of Birds has 6T in military assets whilst being 2.7T in debt. Where do you think the money will be spent? Schools, hospitals and transportation? No - it will go on further military development. Its the same story with United Israelite Empire. He is 6T in debt, but his military assets are also 6T. Thanks.
| |
| Sunday, January 25, 2009 - 02:49 pm LU, First, I would like to point out that LU is the only world with a fully functioning security council. Not only have they, along with the LU community, passed dozens of resolutions to aid new players, but they also have stood firmly against abuses. The current abuses by Kingasia are the perfect examples, as all of the proposals have been stopped before even reaching General voting. Our security council has proved that it is committed to helping the little guy and ending abuses. I applaud their victories! Secondly, Security Council abuse is a pet-peeve of mine. I would fully support military action against Kingasia, if he refuses to stop the nonsense proposals. Sincerely, Kevin
| |
| Sunday, January 25, 2009 - 03:09 pm Well i guess you guys convinced me. I just dont like voting for aid for people who dont need it, since they're not in debt. There are tons of presidents who are truly poor and need the 5T. The issue is i think that, most of them dont even know about this thread so dont come in to request....
| |
| Sunday, January 25, 2009 - 07:09 pm Indeed. If they came here to request aid, and didn't want to dominate their neighbors, we would gladly help them.
| |
| Monday, January 26, 2009 - 02:16 am Message:
| |
| Monday, January 26, 2009 - 03:07 am I would like to request that Kingasia please STOP spamming the Security Council with proposals for NLUO and SOL! You will not succeed and having any of them passed I do not believe! thanks
| |
| Tuesday, January 27, 2009 - 04:30 am I will put up a proposal of aid for Yooperland once the financial and strategic indexes are made public (I.E. Step 1 of my requirements). For the most part, everything else looks to be good.

Saturday, January 31, 2009 - 04:43 pm

| Sunday, February 1, 2009 - 05:39 am Security Counsel this request is not for developmental AID... But for AID, Please put up a proposal to remove WENDYS nukes .. i believe if the counsel doesn't vote unanamously to remove them the LU community will
| |
| Monday, February 2, 2009 - 04:19 am I would like to put in a word in for South Celtuvium, it's got a high amount of debt and needs help
| |
| Monday, February 2, 2009 - 04:34 pm Could I also get aid for my country Country name: The Commonwealth of Zeon Thank you.
| |
| Thursday, February 5, 2009 - 09:19 pm looking for some aid country name 'Whats a Decomcracy' Much appreciated learning about debts, i've learnt debts are bad.....
| |
| Thursday, February 5, 2009 - 11:04 pm The Commonwealth of Zeon i put in a request for your aide you look like you know what your doing, whats a democracy was not found South Celtuvium will put you up next if no one else does, lower priority since its your 2nd nation. banning wendys nukes 1 country at a time will be a endless cycle of wasting council member propositions that i would rather see go toward spreading aide and encouraging newer players expansion but if other council members propose it i will vote for it. but she can just take another c3 and another every time one of her nations is denied but i guess that leaves more area for you guys to blow her into debt...
| |
| Friday, February 6, 2009 - 12:44 am I would like to request aid for my new country named "New Arizona". Also, I would like to invite CEOs to purchase my companies. I am learning how to be a CEO friendly country. Any advise is welcomed.
| |
| Friday, February 6, 2009 - 03:09 am It is with sadness that I have discovered my time on the SC has come to an end. I really enjoyed my time on the SC giving out free $$$ to those who needed it and those who didn't but for a lack of request, got it anyway. I plan on trying to keep this thread open and will bump it up if offers for aid requests keep coming in. Thanks to all SC members who helped spread some wealth around the world. -- Matt Outstanding Requests 117000 has requested aid for South Celtuvium Lord WilliamsVI has requested aid for The Commonwealth of Zeon TDLord has requested aid for Whats a Democracy (though he's got secrecy enabled on his strategic index and he is spending at least $810B on strategic expenses) Caesar Ken has requested aid for New Arizona
| |
| Friday, February 6, 2009 - 03:38 am Martock - You should be granted an unlimited term. Thanks for leading the most successful security council aid program in SC history! Kevin
| |
| Saturday, February 7, 2009 - 09:03 pm I hope to be on the SC again someday. It would be nice if players could sort 'vote' players in but I know that would open up a can of worms with abuse so it's best we keep it as is. Still, I hope to be 'randomly' picked. Thanks for your help Kevin with spreading the wealth around. Without you and Keith's help, it would never have been as successful as it was. Many thanks to you and to all SC members who helped.
| |
| Sunday, February 8, 2009 - 01:37 am Martock, I congratulate you on the way you have helped to assist other LU presidents on your time on th SC. Well done!!!
| |
| Sunday, February 8, 2009 - 09:33 pm Thanks Stuart. I had always noticed that SC members rarely if ever announced their being chosen. I believed that in not doing this, new players would never really know that they had an opportunity to better their nations through SC grants. Hence the idea of this thread. Even though I am no longer an SC member, I will continue to monitor this thread and help as I can.

| |
| Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - 04:05 am Requested aid for South Celtuvium I apologize for the long lapse in Security Council activity; there was a lull in this thread and then I forgot about it :-(
| |
| Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 10:44 pm Is there a reason we requested aid for South Celtuvium instead of that Empire's main? Has the main received aid? And are we aware of what caused a relatively new country to go 12T into debt? Did you take an inactive or was it a C3?
| |
| Friday, February 13, 2009 - 11:38 pm was a c3 he took and as we all did horribly debt bombed it in a bad war
| |
| Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 03:39 am Thank you Keith for putting forth that resolution.
| |
| Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 10:22 am no more newbies seeking aide? what am i supposed to do with this ridiculous sum of money? im thinking there are many options. setting up some sort of contests of some kind or standard goals ie benchmarks for nations to achieve and than be awarded this money or a lottery of some kind. plenty of money just a question of what we should do with it and if we can get the majority of players onboard to ensure delivery and the other council members to help me pass the candy out. The Security Council has 552.89T SC$ in cash. thats 110 5T peices to give out. seems like to stimulate this recessionist economy awards could be given for such things as most corporations built in a period of time, most population growth in period of time, most new players brought to the game, possibilities are endless President Name Membership Term Ends Barney Rubble 4 April 2009 MacDudd 31 March 2009 Dalek Sec 24 March 2009 Keto 1 April 2009 Michael 6Gunner 23 February 2009 Man of Peace 31 March 2009 Maverick Goose 22 February 2009 Aleksander 24 February 2009 Cfballer 31 May 2009 Keith Allaire 30 April 2009 Twista 1 April 2009 shaun 30 June 2009 Bakronesia 1 March 2009 Morpheus 31 March 2009 Fngorh 28 February 2009

| Friday, February 20, 2009 - 12:54 am I think it's time to start a new Security Council Aid thread. This is getting too long. You're free to use my disclaimer and requirements if you choose Shaun. Good luck with your efforts to help spread some of that wealth around the globe. I will support you when it comes time to vote.
| |
| Saturday, February 21, 2009 - 12:47 am I am requesting aid for... Republic of NonViolent Dudes
| |
| Saturday, February 21, 2009 - 12:57 am You know, I got to thinking and perhaps taking cash out of the security council coffers upset W3C. Lets face it - how much has been introduced in the last 2 RL months? Perhaps this is part of the reason they have decided to stuff our economies up. I could be wrong, I probably am - but just a thought.....
| |
| Friday, February 27, 2009 - 07:06 pm I am requesting aid for Sabin and Mariland. I am in the process of reorganizing, with the help of my Federation and Common Market but an Aid Package would expedite the process exponentially. I will also be making Money MArket transactions to expedite the process as well. Thank you for your cooperation and concideration.
