JdlF, few points more deeply.
JdlF
Hello everyone,
As you may know I am running for CP position with The Valeyard and The Valeyard only as ChristijanXD accepted to step down for me.
Therefore there are no threat during those elections as ChristijanXD was pointed as an undemocratic threat for those ones.
I don't believe ChristijanXD is not a potential PTOer, I don't believe we are not under a PTO threat but I believe that we can at least talk with each others and try to understand needs and demands from every sides. Meaning that I am open to more discussions with people from P.A.N.D.A. and the Liberation Front.
Some may think this is a weakness to speak with everyone; I do believe it is a strength to be able to put aside personal feelings and see the reasons behind behaviours.
Now on my program. I'd like to recap few points I explained during my first article as some topics were not understood perfectly:
1. The wipe:
Firstly some articles suming up the situation would be published (based on NLSP's work mostly). Then impact of getting wiped or unwiped according to economy and the fact long time wiped countries are now easier to liberate.
And eventually a referendum would be held in game.
So that's not about unwipe things but more about inform, teach and then listen to what you guys want. As for myself I believe the wipe was not necessary but still we could stay wiped for 2/3 months just to ... not waste what has been done by MariamQ.
2. The treasury:
As I've said in my last article the treasury is quite low. Sadly with such a treasury some programs would have to end. eBelgium has relied only on instant/random incomes through the last years (gold from some citizens or international tournament). We were able to maintain tons of programs because we had really big reserves. But this time seems to be over and sadly as economic measure I would tend to lower VAT (that would need to be unwiped).
Indeed with such low treasury and the fact we don't know if and when we'll get new funds, I believe it's better now for citizens to become more independant toward the state. Meaning that they could buy or sell more easily but also earn more with higer wages (according to demand and supply rules).
Of course programs would remain as long as the state can afford. I would be elected, citizen pack would be a priority with education budget. BYS would be stopped and instead loan facilities would be openned for training contracts. I would also allow more easily loans to training centers as citizens get money from them on the long run.
So basically, keeping citizen packs; favoring loans (as it costs nothing at the end of the day), education budget to help citizens making their first training centers.
3. PTO threat:
About this important point, I guess I was misunderstoo😛
I don't want to stop fighting PTOers or waste everyone efforts. PTOers will still be checked and followed and recorded. Multies will still be tracked. But government priority will be ensuring a future to eBelgium. A future where everyone can have fun. Where everyone can get help from the government.
There is a PTO threat. But I would not make the country suffer just for a threat. Of course if threat become higher measures would be taken (like a wipe [if we are unwipe]). Pression would be make.
But it is not because we are under PTO threat that everything has to stop, that money should be thrown out the window, that democracy should be trampled! We are under a PTO threat. We have to live with it! We can't hide ourselves years and years. Doing nothing but trying to get rid of PTOers. We have to try to get rid of them of course. But we cannot dedicate all our time on that, because if we do, then nothing would remain and we would have lost more.
To sum up:
As you can see I won't give up on PTOers, just that I won't let it rule me and eBelgium. Of course it's important but first I strongly believe we should strenghten our community bonds and save some of our community programs.
Eventually I got ChristijanXD stepping down for me. I thank him a lot for this move! I promised nothing to him. He did it because he wants some changes. Either you believe I am able to speak with them and to get things from them. Meaning that I can look over them, understand them and maybe finally find a common solution; either you believe I am with them (and I would have stolen all the treasury long ago).
The ball is up to you eBelgians. Vote well.
Best regards,
JdlF

JdlF did the most important anti-PTO action of eBelgium: he moved the treasury into safe hands: NLSP, MaryamQ, Jofroi and Olv007.
It is crazy that some of these very people, which were considered reliable by JdlF, now consider JdlF a threat for eBelgium. It is absurd, and a real shame.
Good luck! The more people having fun, the better!
Exactly. It's a bit ironic 🙂
"Sadly with such a treasury some programs would have to end." Our treasury is big enough to support all our recurrent expenses for at least 6 months, without any income for eBe at all ...
our treasury "WAS" big enough. Until you decided to go on a spending spree and decided to "give" away our treasury on silly activities, most of which have filled your own pocket.
You where a corrupt president, who only enriched himself at the cost of the treasury and failed at nearly everything this month, with the exception of writing articles (but then again, even a monkey can do that)
Good luck!
I'm afraid they're using you to get a congress again. Since they realise Belgium will do anything to kick them out.
nevertheless I must say I'm impressed he's willing to step aside to support you.
to be fair, JdIF has always been respectful towards HOPE and PANDA. He never insulted us, not openly attacked us. I think you will find most of us perfectly willing to work with him or at the very least show him respect and listen him out, that doesn't necessarily mean agree with him or follow him blindly, but we're willing to give it a shot. The same cannot be said of the previous administration, who didn't even do any effort to cooperate with us.
I've always seen you willing to abuse players who lend an ear to you just so you could harass others with your lies, insults and thefts my dear shadowukcs.
OHGOD! I've been unmasked. My evil plot has been uncovered by those pesky kids and their dog, Nohjis-Doo.
Clearly my plan was all along to get JdIF in power, so that trough some magical means that are too complicated to explain, I'd get full IRL world domination.
*sigh* back to my underground volcano cave for a new plan.
You might be right but congress will come only if the referendum says yes.
I have to say, I promised them nothing more than my program.
JdlF, you are starting to play with fire. Take care, and good luck.
Thank you e Vladimir 🙂
I know what I do; still I hope i'm not wrong 😉
I hope so too...

I remember a time where there was only 2,000 Gold equivalent in the treasury (~415,000 current currency), not even half of what's left now, eBelgium was doing fine. I also remember the GoopyPants doctrine (Spending the entire treasury, so noone needs to be afraid of sharing some virtual power over it, will remove the basis of fear and improve the political culture in eBelgium).
I remember a time where people would debate meaningfull ways to spend income not just reject every form of expense and end up managing to stockpile way too much currency in the accounts. The state is not a deposito; the state is a place where money goes to be redistributed to citizens or to protect state interests.
good luck \o/
"Government priority will be ensuring a future to eBelgium"
Nice 😉
good luck !

Nice move from christijan to gain your trust by stepping down. Because you're already their puppet.
Saying that there's no pto is just a proof thar you're wrong on this.
But..but...he says that there is a PTO going on 😨
Good. And good luck!
