Day 11- Your input needed!
Cynic Grim
If you ignore everything else, at least please read the first paragraph- REMINDER- no updates fri/sat
Your input is needed, as you read this, please leave your comments and thoughts on the following proposal. The legacy trust has been raising funds well, and thanks to certain donators, has started to accumulate other forms of currency other then the gold to start RW's. I have two options. The first is to use the currency to buy gold off the money market and add that to the gold count. The second is to use the currency to aquire weapons, and on the day the RW is started, provide free distribution of q1 weapons to those who can't afford them on a first come/first serve basis. The legacy trust holds everyone's donations in exactly that, a trust, and because it is everyone's money, i would sincerely like you, the subing/voting/reading public to decide which course of action to take. Please leave your opinion in the comments section. Also- I will be a 2 clicker fri/saturday, and won't be able to update this. I appologize for not being able to do so. A huge thank you to the AAP party, and its party president mercurious100 who is using party funds to provide an advertising campaign to help draw more attention to this project. Thanks AAP! Also- add me to your friends list. It's for a good cause, I am working on more then one project, and being able to shout to many people as possible might help the 3rd one out greatly.
Remember- All donations to the RW org should be sent to The Legacy Trust
Donation's - Thank you all!
Riddle16 sent 2g to celebrate getting to 200+ subs
Emperor Rick sends 130 USD
Aurelius donated a gold to our cause
Randalla Says they are a simple 2 clicker, but to me, their 20g donation says they are a patriot.
Lexx Investigation has donated a special suprize, 10 of them infact. 😉
The good news- Some people moved up into the next catagory, but participation was still low in sub gains per paper, we need some top 5 zerging, and we need it pretty badly today.
Status of Supplies- RW org now has 110.06g, assorted currency, and a q5 weapon - enough to cover the cost of a RW or two, depending upon the target/s.
Participation- Participation was low, sub's are still down. If you own businesses, try and get your employee's to participate. Shout the program to your friends. If you own an org, use it to subscribe! Currently on this list is 142 G just waiting to go towards the war effort- lets get it to where it needs to be, away from eRep's servers, and into players hands. Not adding more papers today, as I believe some of the subscription decline has to do with the number of papers on this list. Help me clean it up by voting them up to 1000.
PatriotMAXX- If your looking for other ways to fight, and are not in the eUS military, this group is looking for you. Contact the ORG listed on the newspaper, and also visit the youtube video!
TK command Actually? Do me a huge favor and also sub to it- It has almost no subs, and I want to see what our sub power looks like on a clean paper. 😛
International efforts by our allies- Haven't gotten around to creating this section yet, today maybe 😣
will be at bottom of list , not because our allies projects are unimportant, just trying to clear up the main list first. Still procrastinating 😣
Sorry.
Other fund raising attempts - Going to try and list other ideas people notify me of that also might help fight against WAR- I can't call these clowns peace any more, or I will start gagging on my own bile, so WAR it is.- the following paper was linked to me, not for the media mogul project, but as another fundraiser effort for eUSA. It definately has some potential, and is an interesting way to use eUS web reasources in our favor. If you use amazon, check out AmazonProject I don't really have much in the way of details on how it works, so please contact the author for information.
New project by all of FORTIS/EDEN Similiar to this project, but you have to pay in advance. Look it over if you wish.
I repeat- no new papers added today because of subscription trends/vs size of link list. Sorry for those who wanted on the paper today, just trying to manage this as best I can for the best results.

I think you should use the currency to buy weapons of the best quality and donate to volunteer's of the highest strength. That way they are put to the best use...
Turn the currency into gold or keep it as currency, whichever buys the weapons easier.
Best quality possible*
Sorry 🙂
I like the idea of distributing weapons. I also think you should find someone to make some money on the MM, not just cash it in for gold but play the market and earn extra income on it.
Cynic, I like your idea of using the miscellaneous currencies to purchase weapons for free giveaway. Keep up the great work!
Dean, I had considered that, but , I had two reservations. A. Everyone is trusting me to hold the cash, however, if I am playing the money market and the cash is appearing and disappearing, its a harder trust to maintain. Currently, it is in public domain, and everyone can both see the trust ammount, and also do the math on it + verify via going into past editions of the paper. Did all of that to provide accountability to the donating public. Also with the way the money market is now, it would take forever to use larger sums
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/ok-ok-893599/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/ok-o[..]1/20
These people are raising money for RW's too...it might do well to throw in w/ them on advertising or merge or something?
I would either use the currency to fund tanks in the RW or buy gold and start multiple wars like Canada did
My opinion isn't set in stone for this one, both are good options, but I think the money should go towards the purchase of weapons. It would be better to have just enough gold for 1 or 2 resistance wars supplied with weapons, than having enough gold to start 5 or 6 RWs without the extra weapons.
@ Tyrone_Biggums:
I disagree. I think it'd be best to have a lot of low quality weapons than a few high quality weapons. That's just my personal philosophy.
I would think you should get the money to start the wars and the citizens should be saving up their money to have weapons on hand when one starts...at any rate, it'll be hard to store too many weapons, so unless you get a good deal, holding the cash might make more sense
Tyrone- have looked at the math, and honestly, money spent on q1 weapons is more cost effective then q5's.
Well, if I go the weapons route- I will find a way to handle the storage issue. Thats a good point however, and glad your participating in the discussion. As for joining up other RW efforts, if anyone wants to try and get them to merge up, I am for that, but I am also a cynical and untrusting soul, and would rather not provide access to anyone else to the trust and everyone's money within. Have done everything in my power to provide transparency to all.
Will I guess I am still considered a newbie, I say that while having money for defenses likes hospitals and walls is important, it is also necessary for soldiers to do a lot of damage. I say give some gold to the government but most of it goes into buying weapons. I won't be able to fight until a couple of days, once I can I shall help your cause.
That's understandable...i think getting people to donate to RW's could be an easy scam so people should be very sure they know who they are donating to. Just recently Benn Dover and Uncle Sam rigged a lottery and made 400 gold off of it and declared their multi's the winners...so you don't really know who you can trust.
Cynic - could you add in my project? 😃

Also - I think the weapons route would be better. I look at it this way - start a resistance war and have odds you probably won't win, or provide a ton of weapons to players who can't afford it or haven't fought with weapons. I'd go with the latter.

Voted and subbed to all. Will donate the gold to the Canadian Victory Bonds Fund for the canadian resistance
start a war in cal and spain and all over the globe every state start one if possible think about them having to defend that

i dont have much to donate but im willing to go in some RW's when i can fight, give me a date
I have gotten several messages about increasing funds via monitary market, and also using it to both enrich us and take currency out of our enemies funding. This is possible and I am willing to do it. However- it also would take awhile and lock up funds for a period of time, and unfortunately I wouldn't be able to provide accountability and visibility to everyone. I am a bit uncomfortable with that concept. I dunno. Any thoughts?
Q1 weapons is the best option.
Don't limit the RW to America and Canada. There are plenty of regions in the hearts of their emoires that have less than 10 citizens and no wall. No only does this distract them, but it wins over other disossessed nationals.
You should trade it in for gold, at most change it back into USD and buy guns on the US market. All these funds are to go towards RW in America, all the funds should support America in every way possible, including her workers.
Buy weapons. You should also save some money to ship people into places you are going to have fighting a resistance war, so there are some people in these regions.
Cynic investing in the monetary market is a very hard thing to do plus that fact that we are at war is an even more reason not to do that cause of the ever fluctuating economies. I suggest you do as watchout5 had said. Also buy weapons from American owned companies and please do coordinate with the current administration.
I think that's an interesting point made by Majester. A majority of the gold should go to reclaiming our own regions, but liberating other nations (perhaps North Korea) is almost as important, and would put us in a better light internationally speaking.
I think it would be best if it is kept as gold or turned into gold to distribute to the people who need the gold to start the wars itself. It's much harder to get the gold to start a war then it is to get money to buy weapons.
I say buy weapons with the money and then start as many RW's as you can at the same time so it's harder for them to concentrate on a single RW to defend.
i will do what i can just let me know.
I think you should focus on the RW's, and let the people save their own money for buying weapons.
Yes, changing whatever currencies you have to gold would certainly be the best option unless the currency you have is from a PEACE country. Their currencies could get stronger.
I think that the MM idea is risky but I also think that buying guns won't do much right now. We need to save up for the future so therefore I propose that you should find a bank and invest in it. I once put money into a bank and it paid out 5% a week to me.
5% is quite a lot. Right now there's worth around 110 gold in the Legacy Fund. At 5% you would get 5.5 gold per week. May not sound like a lot but it adds up. I don't see the use in buying weapons at this moment in time. Eventually we will rise up again but not in the immediate future.
cynic save the gold!
we`ll need it to get back on the map incase the war temporarily gos south. so save ALOT of gold but do donate to the soldiers.
Put Cerb on the list! 😃

Point taken chris- However, using the Legacy trust fund to invest in the generation of more wealth would be something that I would need to get permission of project participants, voters/subbers/donators, on a very overwhelming scale. It is a Trust for everyone, and fore eUSA's future. I don't have the authority to commit it to that purpose by myself. In addition, if it gets locked up in investments, its not immediately usable, should there be an available option to be exploited(exploited as in taken advantage of, not cheating) by eUSA.
Personally- I think we should forget resistance wars, and fund the construction of Liberty Prime.

Once again, keep it up everyone!!!!
I think that we should put it towards weapons to give out. Thanks for all the hard work Cynic!
Liberty Prime made me smile.
Here's some of their posts...So, returning of Urals Mountains has begun. All of us very long waited for it and soon this significant moment will come. For reception of Urals Mountains huge work has been done. Long fruitless negotiations, war with the USA and Canada which has helped Hungarians to receive Хейлудзян, rigid enough, but with a number of compromises the contract, the mass repayment of the companies. The author of these lines had even to be present at meeting of the Hungarian Parliament on the Ural question, and how many was negotiations (places on повышенны
Cynic, sorry if some one has already gone here, but I think you need a plan. As in, let people apply and review their applications. Recruit some other citizens to help out in selection.
That said , great project, good luck.
I say tell me when and where to go fight and I will be there. Yes weapons make a huge difference, and I would love some free ones as with the war going things have become a little expensive But the real money is made in organizing our resistance.
I really think converting it to gold and waiting would be better...think of this: the resistance wars will come after we are wiped out presumably. At that point, a huge portion of this war will cease meaning that weapons would likely decrease in price. So converting to gold now and waiting to purchase when there is a price dip at the end would get you more bang for your buck and you'd have more of an overall picture at that point in knowing how much gold you have and how much gov't support you will be able to get. Plus, it doesn't take a whole lot of money to buy up 50 weapons and then you wouldn't be able to purchase more, so keeping cash seems better and I like the idea of seeing if you could earn interest on it w/ some contingency that you could pull it out when needed.
I'm a noob at the money market thing, but if there is a way to get Rubles, I'd buy up Russian Q1 guns... they're priced just over one ruble! No wonder they can get so many guns into so many hands!
Barring that, I've read over and over that Q1 guns in many hands will yield a MUCH bigger return than Q5 in the hands of a powerful few. Besides, I want me some fightin'!
On the MM tip, possibly use a fraction of what's available to sell on the market. Leaves a lot of funds available, but allows us to make money WITH money.
Playing the MM to be profitable enough to justify the effort is very time consuming and, as you mentioned, opens you up to all kinds of accusations and un-needed BS. I'd store the funds as gold since that is the only universal standard in the game. A time will come when its time to either fund an RW or get weapons.
Save the money. We're gonna get run over anyway. We'll need it.
I think weapons would be the best option right now since our currency is so devalued...
