[Derp4PotUS] Rearrangement and Redistribution
Derphoof
So, we’ve got some things and stuff that have been going on in our country. So, I wanted to give some little updates and clear the air on some things.
If you were paying attention, you noticed and participated in our war in Cuba. That war is still not finished, as we have an NE law being passed against Cuba. THis war began to support our allies in Turkey. As Turkey was trying to make their way into Portugal, the Cubans stepped in to block the Turkish incursion. By putting themselves into the conflict, they made themselves a target for our war machine.
As such, Moldova also had regions in Cuba and we needed to take them out to block Cuban activity. So, we invaded Moldova, and took their regions. We now move to take Havana (ooo na na).
Just as well, our TW’s with our allies are being switched around a bit and the map is changing. Honestly, I’m still not used to handling and keeping track of so many RW’s and TW’s. I’m learning as I go. Goodness knows I’ve frustrated the Canadian CP (Exalted Druid, longtime bro) by simply forgetting we had a TW. First we wandered into Alberta, then the NW Territories. That messed up some people’s factories. I’ve promised him that I’ll be better and he’ll PM me to make sure I don’t screw up…
Our glorious former PotUS, zRTx, has assumed the de facto MoD role and has helped greatly to figure out our new TW map. So, we’re now in the process of moving everyone around to new states. Please watch the national feed for RW and TW schedules. Stef40 and Baby Groot have graciously volunteered to generate lists for you. If they don’t do that, yell at me so I can yell at them.
Here’s the new TW map, so you know what to expect:
Just as well, I’ve been focusing on my tax rebate idea and listening to some ideas in Congress. So, I’m going to stick with my original plan, but try to do everything on a daily basis. HerrVootsman was saying that his AARP program works well because players get daily instant feedback. While it may be taxing on those who run the program, a daily rebate may boost activity.
Some mentioned how it would be better to give more money to the newer players. This is certainly an honorable idea. I would let Congress debate how much to give to newer players. I will let Congress decide how to split such benefits. Just as well, I think I’ll cut back on the idea of bonuses in regards to battle medals. I think it would be best to start this on a trial basis and add things as we god, instead of trying a full rollout. A big rollout could be prone to failure and administrative distress. I’d hate for a program to fail because it was too much at one time.
So, here’s the plan:
- Spend 25% of daily revenue on rebates.
- Daily revenue will be calculated by an average of the last full week's total revenue.
- Rebates may be acquired by commenting under a designated post in the national feed.
- That 25% of daily revenue will be split evenly amongst the applicants, daily, during the trial period.
- The CBO will disburse the rebates daily, unless the Congress appoints someone else to do so.
1.) This ensures that rebates will continue across administrations and access to money is not a problem.
- After two weeks, a report will be made to the Congress. It shall include average daily participation and average daily disbursement.
- After the report, with Congressional Approval, the rebate will be increased to 50% of revenue. The trial period could also be extended.
So, that’s what the administration has been up to as of late. I know some people have voiced their frustration at my choice of shitposter-in-chief, CG. Honestly, I didn’t know one could be so upset over salad croutons and rice pudding. In any case, I gave him an in-game title for my own amusement. He’s not causing any harm right now, aside from making a few folks a bit salty.
That’s it for the first week of Derphoof. Have a good one, y’all.

It's been an honor to serve thus far. Looking forward to the next few weeks.
Let me catch you abusing Stef40 and I'm building a Q7 glue factory. Ya dig?
Jokes on you, I already sacrificed my equine brothers to the glue factory. RIP, fluttershy.
lmao, someone has Stef40 on their mind 24/7 or what 😃

Thanks for the needed information. o7
About your shitposter for fun: After you choose him his first post had 'Sieg Heil' and other related stuff in it. It was deleted after some time, but such things ain't fun for a lot of people and I do hope it isn't fun for you either!
I did not see the “sieg hiel” post. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. That is not the “fun” activity that I wish to promote.
I replied to it saying that that wasn't anything I like (or something like that) and after some hours I was happy it was gone.
Obviously this an attempt by a known miscreant to tarnish my excellent name which I have spent years cultivating. Luckily those of strong reputable character have consistently said, "CG is the most moral and ethic human being living today, he is rivaled only by the 14th Dalai lama. Saying "Hail Victory" is not Nazism. However, Shiloh, who has a Nazi soldier as an avatar is constantly defended by Elmo's ilk. I hope you denouce Shiloh Elmo, with as much vigor and vitriol as you have denounced my entirely innocent act that consisted of no wrongdoing.
"excellent name"
Shitposting I don't like.
I can't believe you wrote that. Please link us to where someone said, 'Luckily those of strong reputable character have consistently said, "CG is the most moral and ethic human being living today, he is rivaled only by the 14th Dalai lama.'
I wanna meet the clown...
Don't drag me into your Nazi loving garbage CG.
I have never posted any kind of German era Nazi slogans, sayings and or other pro Nazi things.
Nor have I ever posted any american neo-nazi garbage in game either, mainly because I do not support that type of fascist rubbish. Can you honestly say the same about yourself?
I mean you are the one that has tiki torches in your garage, not me.
again please point out how my avatar states approval of Nazi ways.
Yeah it is a picture of a WW2 German soldier. If you have read anything about the German Army or Wehrmacht during the war you would learn that the vast majority were not members of the Nazi Party just poor men conscripted into military service.
Years ago when I found the image it just struck me as interesting and depicted the the sad brutality in his face that war is.
Now go loosen your MAGA hat it seems to be cutting off vital oxygen to your wee brain.
Bye Bye

It is frikken hilarious that a government that insists we trust them with America's Tax Revenue has a known PTO threat as Prime Minister.
Executive and Congress are run entirely separately, man. Congress controls the money. You are literally a part of Congress. It's ok for you to pretend to be dumb about the stuff you've known for literally years, but please stop spreading your BS to people who haven't learned it yet.
I think Franklin has some fair points. A lot of what is described is vague. "I would let Congress" and "congress new players" .. Also there are a lot of " I 's " and " we's " in there. Is this all being done by derp, or are there others involved? No cabinet information was ever given that I am aware of. I think some fair questions have been raised, it does not mean the executive should get defensive unless the executive has something to get defensive about.
It seems simply asking questions are taken as accusations of wrongdoing and triggers them into trying to cover their shit like a one-legged cat on a frozen pond...
...and then there's the PTO threat being given a Cabinet position. An action that is defended by the Director of the CBO while unnecessarily pointing out he doesn't have access to Tax Funds, which makes me wonder why he would feel the need to point that out.
He’s no more a PTO threat today than when you supported unblacklisting him and bringing him back into the community, last June. In your words, he had just PTO’d SFP recently and you gave full support for his inclusion in the community. Give me a break, with your fake concern trolling.
Apparently I learned from my mistake and you two obviously have not. Plus it seems my voice is more of a threat than his threat of PTO. Yes, I am literally a part of Congress which encourages change but then again so are you. The problem is you wish to look backward and retain the Farmville status quo.
Franklin, I have been appointed a Czar of the CBO so from now on please address me as Mr. Money Baggs.
I don't care for CG anymore than the next guy, but to claim that he poses a threat to any money as the "Prime Minister" in-game is a farce and you know it.
You 'don't care for CG any more than the next guy' yet here you are defending him. I take it we are to simply take your word that he isn't the 'Czar of the CBO' as he claims and has no access to America's Tax Revenue? If being Prime Minister in-game is a farce then there should be no problem removing him.
Your denseness should have ceased to amaze me by now, Franklin. And yet....
Why is it when asked a question or you're asked to do something -like placing Tax Revenue in the CBO- you immediately assume you're being accused of a crime? While at the same time you -as Congressional Librarian- can dig up crap from years ago to use against citizens and yet can not be bothered to supply links as necessary in Congressional Discussions? Why is it that as CBO Director you refuse to do your job and track CBO Distributions by collecting and reporting on any and all programs which have received funding through the CBO?
Seems you want to collect titles -Congressional Librarian, CBO Director and once months after actually being President continued to wear the Presidential Seal on your avatar- but refuse to accept the responsibilities and work of said titles.
>complains about bringing up the past
>brings up the past repeatedly
The fact that your definition of my responsibilities doesn't match my actual responsibilities does not mean that I'm not fulfilling my responsibilities. It means you lack an understanding.
Good day, sir.
...and I suppose you can link me to the post in which I brought up the past before you did? Sure, I bet you can, yes?
Masochism is tricky business DMJ. Franklin, as a member of SCI and Czar of the CBO we will spend the money however we deem is appropriate. We are the experts after all!
stfu CG.
Still waiting on that link...
stfu too, Frank.
Let's recap...you accuse me of constantly bringing up the past, I ask you for the proof of that accusation and you tell me to stfu. Nice. You hide American Tax Revenue and we are to take your word that it is safe. You can apparently accuse someone with no proof and when asked for that proof you tell them to stfu. On top of which you defend a known PTO threat being appointed as Prime Minister. Yet we are supposed to believe you are a reliable and trustworthy CBO Director simply because you say so.
Hello sadness my old friend
Maybe instead of throwing shade at me without evidence (just like every time you mention anything about the CBO) you could spend some time discussing the rebate program with the rest of Congress, like your party trusted you to do when making you a delegate. Your only comment in the thread has been to, once again, throw shade.
I did not defend CG but you accused me of doing so. I pointed out that his position as PM gives him literally zero power over any money, and thus, has nothing to do with the CBO or Congress.
Your inability or refusal to see the irony of accusing people of things you do constantly (making statements and accusations with zero evidence) is just plain sad. There is zero evidence of any misdoing by the CBO, but it doesn't stop you from accusing us of it. There is zero evidence of CG having access to any tax money, but it doesn't stop you from believing it because it fits your anti-government narrative. You are literally a part of the government and have been for years, but it doesn't stop you from saying the government is corrupt and can't be trusted.
And just as soon as Congress votes to move funds to where you can personally view them, I'll be more than happy to comply. But until that happens, I'll continue to do my job, just like I always do.

When it was suggested that the CBO should disburse the dividends you flat out refused to take any responsibility. I simply pointed that out. I mean isn't that what the CBO is for...to disburse funds? I then suggested that since Congress may assign someone that Congress should assign the Distribution, Tracking of and Reporting on those funds to the CBO. The reason I haven't said anything else is that other than assigning someone to do those jobs I agreed with most of what has been said.
I have never accused you of anything. I have simply asked that all Tax Revenue be placed in the CBO and you have decided that question is really an accusation. Your reasons for keeping those funds secret are ludicrous.
Your claim that they could be stolen by the Country President...you are talking about the CP that is handpicked every month or no? Plus you have been told several times that if they are stolen Admin would replace them.
You want to keep it secret from our enemies. What enemies? The ones we are trading RW/TW within our core regions? It seems we have no enemies other th
What's going on here? There are so many problems in the world for us to solve. Please discuss one thing at a time in the right forum.
I can't even. I literally cannot even.

mad skilz yo
Who is determining, who gets funds, how they are divided .. etc? Is it based on merit, equal parts, what? Some details would be appreciated.
"That 25% of daily revenue will be split evenly amongst the applicants, daily, during the trial period."
Does that mean, nothing has been decided for other than the trial period ?
"I think it would be best to start this on a trial basis and add things as we god, instead of trying a full rollout. A big rollout could be prone to failure and administrative distress. I’d hate for a program to fail because it was too much at one time."
So where did the funding for this 'Pilot Program' come from...Congress? CBO? SCI?
As described in the post on the National wall, Derphoof funded it himself.
Even if you didn't see that, you would find that no funding approval was made in Congress, so it didn't come from there. If it did come from SCI, you'd know about it during the next budget discussion later this month.
The CBO doesn't hand out funds without approval of spending from either the full Congress or SCI. We do not make self-determination of use.
