I know, I know. It’s a sensational title, but believe me I’d rather get to the point.
I have here with me, a link to a google doc. Ambassador Corps Sign Up Sheet
Simple. Of itself.
If you’re interested in being and ambassador, gaining some experience of government, and making a little cash on the side please apply today. I’d like to give preference to newer people who are not in Congress, but ultimately the Corps is run by its Secretary. Apply today!

The budget has been release
😛Here
There hasn’t been a lot of discussion on it, which I’m going to arbitrarily say is because it says that which we all suspect. As long as revenues are done, so to must government expenditures, and even then unless things improve more cuts will be needed in the following month. Now, the government is following through on a certain lead to getting us a bit more cash revenue, but its nothing that I’m going to pin my hopes on, and certainly it is no game changer. So for now, my goal is to change the MU funding rules to allow for 20% of funding to be saved for infrastructure improvements. At the end of the term we will ask MUs to tell us how much, if anything, they’ve saved for that purpose and we’ll see if it’s something worth continuing. I’ll propose some rules around that tomorrow in Congress and we’ll see where it goes.
I do believe the goal of self-sufficiency is a bit like chasing the white rabbit. The admins aren’t going to allow the game to continue if people beyond their premium gold mongers become self-sufficient, they’ll simply put another Q weapon or a new way to attack or allow for more fighting in a day or what have you to prevent it. I wouldn’t be too concerned that our MUs aren’t self-sufficient, even if we strive to be a bit more from time to time. And the government will never be able to afford to give enough to really make a large dent in self-sufficiency because that would imply either a highly ridiculous level of wealth distribution and that government is taking way too much in taxation, or that the admins haven’t made a change that pushes sufficiency out of reach (an unlikely proposition).

Survey mood music
I want to know what you’re thinking, there are some things you can’t hide…
Lots of tinyurls today. But we’re not done yet.
Here’s the Survey If you're a Canadian citizen I’d like you to fill out. If its kind of specific and self-serving, well hey, its my survey.
Fill it out, tell your friends, and I will randomly give 5 gold to one lucky Canadian responder. Only two days until this contest closes, so Good luck!

Awesome stuff Jacobi, glad to see the survey stuff bouncing around more countries. I of course didn't take the survey, but I did listen to the mood music, gotta love the 80s.
Hey this is going to sound silly, but could somebody please tell me how to find out what my ID is?

"I do believe the goal of self-sufficiency is a bit like chasing the white rabbit"
I disagree. Self-sufficiency is easily attainable if you focus on it and work towards it. It is easy to dismiss it as a white rabbit to be chased and never caught if you buy into the excuses. The writing was on the wall here months, even years ago, but too many groups in eCan made excuses instead of making an effort.

Damn i starting to like Addy's comment, they are releveant, no sarcasm.
Les écrits étaient là sur le mur des mois, même des années avant, mais trop de groupes dans eCan ont fait des excuses au lieu de faire l'effort. x2
Maudit je commence a aimé les commentaires à Addy, ils sont pertinents, pas de sarcasmes.

Whether as individuals, as groups, or as a country, it is never too late to move towards becoming more self-sufficient. Government money isn't going to be enough to cut it, nor should it be, but it certainly would help and would have a better impact over the long-term than money spent buying one time use food and weapons. I think we should be looking towards a long-term strategy, even if we have less money to spend now than we used to; on the bright side, we have more opportunities to earn gold.
What entails the job of an ambassador? I'd give it a shot if I know just what needs doing. 😛
One thing i've been curious of is how you feel about Snow being against the Ambassador Corps... lol
Why do I have to add a comment in the box before I can submit? If we don't have a comment.......
