Developmental Aid (Golden Rainbow)

.

New to the discussion and a member for about 3 weeks - my problem was/is why should he get it, and not me. (yes i've got a little empire now - and no I may not need it now - but I sure wasted a lot of money figuring out how to get started and now have some good debts going) - But I agree with the establish some basic rules - and give it to those who meet those rules. Then you'll get people to vote yes (especially if the vote tells them why people are getting this money).

PS Feel free to nominate me for some... lol

What is your Main countries name? I'll send the offer through and keep my fingers crossed for u.

I tried to give you an offer and this popped up "No country by this name. (1)"

Did you get it wrong?

William Ryan, That's a better game plan than "The Big Three". Get the name of your country right, (because it's not showing up on search) and we'll bring the aid package up for a vote. On the merit of "formality" and "length of application" alone.

The above is a copy and paste of the name of the country. Maybe I'm too new?

Alright, I've just learned that I'm not including the "THE" at the beginning of the name:

The Democratic Union of Makam.

Thanks.

A proposal has been entered and the Council is voting.

Those in the future, this would be a GOOD way to present a proposal.

indeed it would. couldn't do it better myself.

The general vote that goes before the 'people' should reference this thread or better yet just include this info into the vote description.

Assuming this is done, I would hope the vote would pass. If it doesn't, well there isn't much more one can do unfortunately.

Greetings:

I wanted to briefly address the General Assembly of Nations concerning the economic development aid proposal that has been passed by the Security Council and now sits before you.

At this point it appears that pass or fail, it will be a close vote. This surprises me.

As I understand the situation, being very new to the my position, there is a large amount of capital being flushed from the world by forces beyond our control. At the same time, a large reservoir of funds sits in an account which does nothing. And there is the opportunity for any nation to petition for the use of these funds.

Yet quite a few have excercised their right to vote for keeping those funds locked up. It escapes me as to why.

The injection of $E5,000,000,000,000 into the general economy through the vehicle of a developing nation will increase the demand for goods from your own factories across the board.

@William

I've been saying that for a long time. People believe they have the right to judge who needs it and not. Sum say no empires. I believe Young empires qualify. I CAN say that because I'm on the SC.


@everyone else- Please vote in support of this proposal. If the community can't agree, I will stop proposing aide and no one will get any.

The Poo-Bah

It doesn't look like anyone is ever going to receive developmental aid on Golden Rainbow.

It's that whole "If I can't get any, I don't want anyone else to get any" attitude on GR.

hmph. Maybe we can petition to have a comment field in the vote proposal, so we can get the business plan attached. or at least a summary.

I can only assume those who voted against don't really know the details aside from what little info is included in the vote description itself. A lot of players may not have read this thread and don't really know what's going on...or that they have the chance to get in on the action.

I ask everyone take a look at the similar thread in the Little Upsilon forum.

They are sending out aid to MULTIPLE countries a week.

While here on Golden Rainbow we can't even get aid out to ONE country. It truly is a sad and pathetic state of affairs.

Q

I voted against because I had no idea there was a plan. I just noticed there were forums. The resolutions need information attached so we know there is a reason for the aid. I thought, "Why should someone get aid, I didn't?" Stimulating the economy in this manner makes sense. I'll vote yes next time, now that I know. I spend enough time managing virtual horses to read these forums too.
Is there a way to send a message to every country in Golden Rainbow? It would be nice if, when a vote came up, I had a message explaining why.

Well, when I personally join the SC next month (since I'm #1 on Golden Rainbow, that is a given), I will make sure that many more aid proposals are voted upon and be given a chance to be voted on.

The one every 3-4 real life weeks is complete crap.

If we got a system going similar to what they're doing over on LU, I'm sure more people would vote for them.

Q

I'll Try Again. If you need any Aid and fit into one of the above stated criterea, please post here. I'm sure one of the SC members will give you the nod. I challenge each SC member to sponser 1 player each, within the next week.
Poo-bah

What is the exact criterea for the aid package SC?

are you new, peaceful and devoted to the game? How many countries do you own and what scores does your empire consist of?

Nextlevel23, I posted some guidelines in the other thread I have going for this.
