A Black Friday
•
by Dokomo
As I wrote earlier today, Japan suffered a terrible loss with the theft of the National Bank of Japan and our Military Organizations. Congress is taking steps to begin rebuilding, and we are putting emergency measures into place, but we must all remain vigilant in this time of weakness.
Naturally our thoughts turn to justice. I cannot bring you all the the government has learnedm due to the rules of the game, but I can say that there is a lengthy explanation that will be available to all citizens on the forums. Please contact me if you have any questions that need answered.
As for my agenda for the day, that was pretty well ruined. The first goals were accomplished, as Vorph and I are now the proprietors of the much smaller NBJ by signing the contract. Now that we have control of the Bank email we have begun dealing directly with the admins to resolve the issues.
I have also been able to gain acknowledgement from PEACE and have been in contact with them over IRC. A new Cabinet IRC has been formed and populated by government members. And lastly, I have appointed Myung Kei as Secretary of Communication.
The plan for tomorrow is to keep focused on the bank issue. We are also going to have to discuss the HUGE increase in Training War costs the Admins plan to put us through.

Training war costs go up, our bank is empty. What a great way to start this presidential term.
In any case, Dokomo, the people of Japan are behind you. Congress stands ready!
Drag the business owners out of their ivory towers and ask them to purchase large quantities of JPY from the state. Problem solved. Everyone wants a stable government, especially local business owners.
That might be a bit of a tough sell Kizmet, but I do like the idea. I'll certainly be doing my part and buy more JPY for my company.
Thank you for the update.
japan can get through this, we have done it before, we can do it again
Never has finding the person who does such deed was ever helpful last time Japan was confronted with such disaster.
What we need is immediate policy against massive inflation or deflation to monetary market. While monetary market is stable, we most likely able to restore good portion of treasury in One to two month period as opposed to four, while if that goes down, you must spend more time fixing the market, than actually trying to regain funds.
How in the world could finding the person not be helpful? Crimes must be punished. If it was not hacked then someone trusted has betrayed the country, finding them is crucial.
If we find the criminal, will we be no longer broke?
I don't think so, whether we find thew crime or not, we will still be broke, and our citizens will still suffer. thus, I feel putting stronger emphasis in actual fixing of the funding issue ASAP is more important that putting blame on someone.
Akki doesn't want us to find the criminal eh... interesting...
Did you know, conspiracy theories fall under Schizophrenia? How I love Abnormal Psychology, it is fascinating.
Dokomo, try not to blow up eJapan in my absence. Good luck to you with finding who did it, or rather having the admins find them.
Reiji, I want us to fix the problem, before we point fingers.
What good will pointing fingers do to solve the problem that we are broke?
Let's say some robber robs your family house Reiji. you and your family now have no basic funds to live a basic life. Which do you do first? make some money so your family can live fine while you try to figure out the criminal, or go find criminal anyways while your family suffers and dies out? I think the obvious choice is to try to fix the financial problem first before jumping to find the criminal yourself. Leave the criminal finding to admins, our police, and let us, the congress, do what we can do within our powers; to restore funds best we can through monetary and fiscal policies, while we let admins do their investigation.
"😉okomo, try not to blow up eJapan in my absence."
It will be pretty hard for Dokomo to leave the country in worse shape at the end of the month than the state it is in now at the end of your reign. Let's not forget whose watch this happened during.
Finding the person is very important. Admins have in the past banned accounts for thievery. Even if the money isn't returned, if the account can be banned, that will prevent destruction upon our money market.
Exactly Vorph. I can't imagine Dokomo messing up worse than last month's government.
Shame on you Oraizan for losing Japan's money.
Chill.
Honestly, if the people of Japan end up lynching every leader they have, then maybe it's the citizens fault for voting them in. Of course, I've only known Minamoto and Oraizan as Presidents, so I can't speak on past ones, though I have to turn a sideways frown when a human is expected to be god. The money being stolen could have happened during any time or reign.
Either way, good luck. I don't exactly know Dokomo well enough, so I'm pretty hesitant of sending any gold.
>Shame on you Oraizan for losing Japan's money.
Its not nessecarily her fault, once the contract to give the key's over from the NBoJ are signed, its no longer her problem. Rather, the fault lies with whoever accessed the bank, through hacking or through a third party, and let the money disappear through the MM.
Less not forget the President is the sole owner of the passwords when (s)he gets elected and the orgs are passed over. It is the responsibility of the President to give those passwords to individuals who won't empty the coffers at the first occasion.
Is Oraizan directly behind the heist? We don't know yet, but for now she can take the blame of giving those password to some untrustworthy individual(s).
Also, to claim it isn't important to find who was behind this is irresponsible. To make sure the passwords aren't given to the thiefs ever again, we must find out who they are.
The only reason why I'd give a damn to find out who did it and how is so that protective/preventive measures can be put in place. Unfortunately it's often impossible to figure out the how without figuring out the who. It is possible to go about the process in a civil manner so as to avoid complicating the issue any further and bog down the process in unnecessary debates. So far I believe President Dokomo's been striking the right tone and I hope everyone will follow suit.
Also don't forget that Oraizen is posting comments here from the Operating Theatre so go easy on her or the White Knights will be forced to ride to her rescue.
It's me no1kevlin before anyone starts crying about me 'hiding' behind my Bank ORG. I just forgot which account I was signed into (not for the first time! 😃)
I cannot believe there are actually people making statements like "if we find the criminal, will we be no longer broke?"
If we do not know who did it, how will we make sure we do not deny them password access to the orgs in the future? I am really sorry to hear about the real life health troubles--but that is real life, this is eRep. Now whenever people read the eWiki about Oraizan's single term as president, it will always be clouded by the fact that the entire treasury, clumsily sent to the BoJ via law proposal by an unpopular member of congress, was not hacked, but stolen during her watch.
This act, which destroys her credibility, is a shame because it was done by people claiming to be her friends.
Credibility? Anybody who seriously thinks they have to have the best reputation in this game forever, and works hard to keep it perfect, should rethink their addiction. Even you, Kita, are not perfect.
