Shame on our Congress
•
by Mitch Rapp
Yesterday we had Congress Election and most of us voted on a candidate that we trust to show insight. As a reward these Congress Members normally get 5 gold and a nice medal but yesterday was different. Some Congress Members got up to 25 gold because of the generosity of the Admins (read bug).
So what to do with all that gold?
Well only ONE Congress Member donated some of his gold to the State. Just one!!!!
I am not saying that all Congress Members should give all of their gold but when you get 25 gold you can give at least 2 or 3 gold.
Our country cannot afford to keep signing MPPs so we all can fight everyday so we need donations from our citizens. Congress Members should be an example to the rest of us and NOT be so selfish and keep all of the gold you get.
I hope that all of you will now donate some gold to the DNB so we can keep fighting every day and keep growing as a country.

Thank you Daniel Parker for being the only one to donate so far!!!
agreed and will be done soon.
Well I got more gold but they fixed it later on.
Some people probably already gave all their gold to a org to make sure it was save.
You're right, ofcourse.
Will do. Thanks for the heads up.
That nun scares the shit out of me lol
Damn, congress + Party, it'll finish by ruining me 😛. Gave 3 golds😁.
If you get 25 gold, you report it to an admin. It is what I did last month, feel free to hate me for it.
Daniel Parker deserves more credit in general from the UNL, good job Parker!
The problem was fixed before I realized it happened (when I read your article), so before critising ang generalising know everyone's circunstances and don't think that every congress member just wants the gold.
State wanting stolen gold?
Disgusting!!
Donated 50 gold for the Mpp with the eUK, im keeping the 5 gold from the congresselections.
Gromenauer +1
When I got online it was already fixed
Even if there is no extra gold falling from the skies, members may want to look at the eAustrian approach - see

Once again, Daniel Parker, o7. and voted
Because of this bug, I haven´t donated so far, because I didn´t know if it was safe yet (last elections, the same happened (10 Gold then) and even when 5 G was put away, I almost got a warning for donating some to my org).
I myself have promised to donate my won 5 Gold to congress, as you can see on the forum, and I have not forgotten this promiss. If I could only know where to donate.
(No Dylan, I won't fall into that trap of you giving your citizen link 😛)
Actually it was 20g.
Exactly gromenauer, A lot of people didn't even get the 25 gold Mitch.
"You have successfully donated 5 GOLD. This amount will appear shortly in the citizen/organization account."
Donated to DNB and voted!
Sadly I didn't get to benefit from this bug.
If there is a bug then people can be forgiven for being a little confused surely.
This isnt about the bug. It is about Congress Members not giving a single gold to the state. I have always donated all my gold to the state when i was in congress.
Now it doesnt mean that everyone should give everything they get but it does mean that Congress Members can give something.
The fact that several got 20 or more gold and still didnt give anything is for me to be ashamed.
oh yeah, i reported getting 25 gold... it was 20 checking later. The other 5 i still had from my HW medal earlier. So everyone got 20 Gold.
and yes I donated 5 Gold to the MM. Which I still think was a rather small donation considering the huge gift I got 😛
Wasn´t it Jesus who said share 10% of your wealth you can miss?
I dunno, Austrian rule is interesting, but only for smaller countries I think. And maybe not for your first two congress terms.
I´m glad I can buy a Q5 house soon... 😛
Why do I never benefit from bugs....Oh well, atleast my ecountry loves me as I love it!
lets hope after the congress mebers read this article, they will think twice to safe their gold.
If it is true they should get banned for exploiting a bug.
Mitch, no one got 20 Gold. No one. That gold was never in their possession. If they would have donated 20 Gold, the admins would still have taken away 15 Gold from their budget because of the bug, so that they would have paid 15 Gold of their own pocket.
its their own decision..
