Gold for what ???
OmuNegru9
In my last article I've tried to share my opinion about how we can improve our economy. Some of you said that my ideas are bad or cannot be put in practice, some said I'm not explaining how or what can be done and some said I've insulted other people (just because I can stand for some people who are using eAustria to gain some medals and make their name known it doesn't mean I'm insulting - for Oraizan).
Anyway it doesn't matter. There is a MoF, the president and some other people who know what to do with our economy.
But what I want to say today is this : last time our president said we need to "rent" our regions to gain gold. We prefer to be puppets and let other countrys "invade" us everytime they need our territory for some gold.
I want to ask you all, GOLD FOR WHAT ??? For MPPs ? I've seen only one proposal for MPP with eHungary that was rejected by them (FAIL).
If it was for me to decide I would have tried to bring to negociation eGermany and eSwitzerland and start a new alliance. eGermany has open wars and they may need some help, eSwitzerland need wars and eAustria needs strong friends and a war to fight. Why can't we do this ?

You are right, signing a MPP should be a top priority of the government and it's a shame it hasn't been achieved yet.
Unfortunately it isn't that easy. A MPP costs 100 gold for each side, but not everyone wants to pay 100 gold for an alliance with Austria, so we would need to pay their part as well.
I garenty you the government and MoF, Rangeley, is working pretty hard to get this done. It takes time for a country to negotiate with each other. This does not take a single minute to sign one, needs everyone in the cabinet's approval, including congressmembers.
I see what your getting to Omu, and I have to say with signing MPPs with Germany or Switzerland is a good idea. Switzerland I see no problem in making a ally with, but than we can not create training wars against them when we sign a MPP. With Germany, if we join their side of the war, we will be thought on being allies to Germany's allies. Than more countries will go to war with us.
In eAustria's agreement, it is said that eAustria will "try" to stay neutral.
We already have good relations with Germany and Switzerland, but a mutual protection pact is impractical. Neither nation has an open war within their nations - just MPP battles - meaning that an MPP with them would not give us access to them. That is a major consideration for what sort of MPP we go for: we don't just want to get an MPP for the sake of it, it should provide some clear benefits and not just be a gold drain.
In addition to that consideration, there are numerous others - including the plans of other potential nations. Unfortunately, they don't always match up, and timing ends up being delayed sometimes.
Having the gold for the MPP, though, is an important pre-requisite to any of this and puts us in the game for further negotiations. In the past, we wouldn't be able to sign MPP's unless we spent out of emergency reserves. While having MPP gold does not mean we will always have a good MPP, it does mean we won't have to say no to good MPP's due to lack of funds, or having to make a choice between having reserve funds and an MPP.
You're absolutely right that you can say people's name in an article and criticize them without it being an insult. However, that is not what you did. A lot of what you did however, is a FP offence. 🙂 For example:
"Some smart guys (I bet they don't have a clue about economy in RL) replyed with some stupid comments but that doesn't matter, I'm used to it since Stoneman was MoF."
"-> B**chmode enabled?"
All found in the article where i said you were insulting: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/for-mr-president-1681480/1/20
I have no problem with criticism, I have done the same to the MoFA and the current president, but I did it with proof of what I was saying and also, did not insult them while doing it. Let me give you another piece of advice; if you want people to listen to you, try to admit when you were wrong and work with the community. Saying you didn't insult in that last article is quite a ridiculous joke.
OmuNegru, you are talking about a sore point, but I am afraid that Rangeley has already told you everything.
But we do not only use our gold for future MPPs, have you heard about the army recruting lately?
We will also be in desperate need of Gold when it comes to supplying the public with bread or even weapons, and thats why we are 'collecting' the gold from the rentals.
Hope you understand.
Oraizan let me tell you something (I'm not insulting you) : WAKE UP and speak only when you're not sleeping.
"Some smart guys (I bet they don't have a clue about economy in RL) replyed with some stupid comments but that doesn't matter, I'm used to it since Stoneman was MoF." Where is the insult in here ? Just because I've said some people don't have a clue about economy ???
"-> B**chmode enabled?" LUCKILY YOU ARE SLEEPING. That quote belong to JaFe, so he insulted me. But again you have to talk without knowing what you're saying.
Vreath I know that gold isn't used only for MPPs. You say you're using gold for supplying the army with weapons. But where is the army fighting ? In training wars ? No offense but you need to help a little our companys. You can collect gold from rent for months without having an MPP and tell people you need that gold for future MPPs or for supplying the army, but in that period of time our market is going to fall badly.
Funny to say that somebody is speaking while they are asleep, while you do not understand plain English.
"Unless you enjoy being called stupid (this is rhetorical by the way) this is called an insult."
"That quote belong to JaFe,"
