Message from Cocoamok and Mitch Rapp

Yesterday evening 250 gold was transferred from OE_Volksgezondheid and 250 gold from Ministerie van Economische Zak to the state account. This money was transferred by us, the party presidents of Iron & Wine and Libertarian Social Democrats, to make it possible that congress could issue 100.000 NLG. With that amount of NLG we wanted to restore our monetary market. The restoration of the money market is needed badly because recently the NLG was so high that export companies are in severe problems. People are being laid off from their jobs and are going back to the trainings companies so action is required.
From the government there is no action for days to do something at the money market problem that started at September 20. We wanted to propose this ingame so that the congress members could decide if it was a good plan to issue the 100.000 NLG or not. If not, the gold could be transferred back to the accounts from where it came and we thought that no harm would have been done. However, OE_Volksgezondheid needed 225 gold to repay state bonds. We did not know that. Now this gold needs to come from a donation from DNB.
We were very worried about the monetary market because already 5 days nothing has been done at to solve this. We have send some requests to do something about it. We lost our patience and we did something we have the possibility to do, but did not have the right to do. We apologize for this action and hope the government and or congress will soon solve this issue. We have learned from this and are glad that no long-term damage has been done and want to assure you that we did all of this with the best of intentions.
Regards,
Mitch Rapp & Cocoamok

Cocoamok publishes this on my request too. We will not double publish so if you want to comment feel free.
I realy disagree with the way you handled this, but as you did what you think was right and tried to help UNL, I don't realy see a reason to be mad about this.
Well, it's good to do something about it. Although you should always ask for something before you do something, I guess you did the right thing?
voted best of luck
The process might have been bad, but the intent was good. Our economy is in free fall, and our government is doing nothing. We need support for industries if we are to have jobs. Like others, I'm wondering if I can afford to stay in eUNL...
As i said before and i will say it again: just taking the gold without even asking is wrong. A lot of people have the passes of the orgs, what if everybody just gets gold from orgs?
I know the intentions were good, i just lack the way you did it.
"We wanted to propose this ingame so that the congress members could decide if it was a good plan."
And then what happened? You didn't, or you couldn't?
I don't approve of all the solo decisions that have been taken recently by people of whom it is not even clear if they have the authority, or of whom it is clear that they don't have the authority. I really think that more cautiousness and more deliberation is required in these cases.
We might even need a clear policy for those cases where action is required, but the responsible people for some reason aren't around. Like this one.
More than anything though: we need the responsible people to be around! In light of that, I can understand Cocoamok's and Mitch' action (though still not approving).
What more do I have to add? I'm really glad experts such as Cocoamok and Mitch protect our country. I just hope you both will be so wise to check with the congress the next time. If there is really a need these actions can be done swiftly without to much bureaucracy, we might need to change the laws concerning this. However, I think such a right would be in better hands of a minister of Finance for example.
If I check the right information on ministers (http://www.enetherlands.nl/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2582&start=0) neither of you currently hold a government official position. On what grounds do you both hold the passwords to these orgs? Anyhow, in conclusion I don't see how you could make this decisions officially. But I'm really glad you're here to help the country. I just hope that situations like this will be dealt with differently in the future.
Last time I criticised the actions of certain persons, I was heavily criticised by some. Transferring gold from one org to another should be discussed with the responsible persons first. It could have prevented the angry reactions of some 😉
Fact is that the Ministers of Gold Market and Finance should have acted when it was needed.
I'm happy you two came clean.
I agree with the sentiments that others have expressed; the appropriate ministers need to take charge of these affairs.
Cocoamok and Mitch Rapp are two long-standing and well respected servants of eUNL thus glad to read this article to get everything expressed in the public domain.
This is economics, it all needed to be done.
