[KK4CP]Theft and Security
•
by Frodo Tea Baggins
Home from the christmas break it's obvious some news has happened, a story we are all to familiar with. Treasury thefts have always been a part of this game unfortunately and dealing with them are a laboursome chore. I been there, dealt with them and luckily was able to recover a large amount of the money stolen. As CP at a time like that I even used my own credit card to cover short term country financial obligations that took 6 months to be repaid, but so be it, it was my choice to deal with it however was in my power. Regardless it is not a situation I wish on anyone.
I bring it up as part of my campaign now, however this conversation had happened and been accepted before christmas. With an event like this fresh on everyone's mind it is worth mentioning. Appleman as a longstanding MoF, and time honoured as proven trustworthy, will remain in that position. I told him straight out I want nothing to do with the MoF, it will be up to him to run it. It may seem like a small thing but yes, I never want to touch a dime of the countries money.
My last term as CP was also run this way and it was never a problem. In the one instance where I wished extra money for military spending for an important battle, I gave congress the amount and requested the funding just like anyone else would to be transferred, I never knew the password for a single org, and it didn't bother me.
The topic may be pointless to bring up, but those who worry about who might have control of the purse strings I'd like it to be clear. I do not want access to the countries accounts, I prefer they remain in the hands of the same person who has cared for them for the last year. Our treasury will remain protected, even from myself.
(Edit: Appleman has normally held sole possession of the accounts anyway but it's still good information to know.)

you came to this country pretending to be a female..now you pretend to be a male...what is your real gender is a mystery to us and it seems to you too.
So you ask from irish people to elect such disturbed person for a CP....
And lets face it...if you decide to plunder as CP all you have to do is to request from admins to reset all passwords and then take what ever you want.
Just when Kurgan tought he found himself a women of his life u said ur male! Shame on you KK!
I know its so frustrating....first grainne then KK.....at least i have you....you will always be my girl
So you don't like gays but you are in fact gay?
Sounds schyzophrenic bro

Thanks for letting me know..
If you remember precisly you've always been my bitch 🙂
Considering i own you in every comment facts are clearly in my favour mufc....
A lest not forget you joined hands with orcs who called all croats pigsfor months and insulted vukovar.
How would you call a moron who do that then with a b word...
If Kurgan is attacking you, that's a pretty good endorsement to me.
Where do you see attack Paddy?
I ask legit questions.....if a person dont know is he or she how can we trust it with a country.
Same with a fact that a CP can plunder state money any time it wants...
So its article is pointless.....
I prefer to see some actual program instead its trying to score cheap points on recent robbery....
I dont think you really want to be CP you can ask those before you its an extremely hotseat. But that being said you can at any time ask for the passwords from the admins. Saying therefore you dont want to have them might be just a bookmark to return to you in your future theft. You belong to an organization the orcs that has now proven their criminal intent yet again.
Also the mere fact that you do not intend to cross examine Appleman and first thing first write and article clarifying the discrepancies and lies in his position as MOF and accounts means your not the man for the job. In fact I think we should lay him off for a few months and then demand all the info he has hidden from us and then kick his effin ass.
Lol
its ok appleman have a nice long laugh. can i borrow some dough from your cut(chewie)
Tbh your for me not the strongest candidate I am sorry. Also we see a lot of multies around I wonder for who that is. Furthermore your party is an orc party and will say everyone can vote as they want and then secretly tell everyone to vote for Boru.
eh, I haven't even decided if I'm running.
The gender of a player has absolutely no bearing on the matter at hand. Security and trust are obviously big issues in this game as in RL. One only has to look at politics in the old world to see that every government is absolutely riddled with corruption and greed. Greater safeguards are needed to ensure the nation's assets are protected. What mechanisms exist in the government to protect resources? What can we do to ensure that potential plundering is if not impossible but at least as difficult as can be according to game constraints?
There is only two ways to ensure things are as secure as possible. One is a US style system where the orgs are ran by a couple trusted members who basically hold the passwords and make the transfers as dictated by the gov't out. They hold this position regardless regardless of who is in gov't. Our current situation is similar to this with a long repeating MoF.
The only other possibility is letting the money all remain in the national ingame treasury with transfers only able to be done by a full congress vote. While rather safe it is also painfully slow and cumbersome to deal with. It also destroys the ability of us being able to fund the military by working our money on the MM. Safe but with a huge disadvantage.
Also forgot to mention that the national treasury system means losing all access to funds if you don't have a congress.
Generally, Presidents don't need access to the banks. Provided the MoF is a reliable person who is continually reappointed, it's the best security measure you have against rogue Presidents.
but they can gain anytime they want without anyone else knowing about it. they only need the moderators.
And that's why AppleMan is MoF, a guy everyone trust 😉
Trusted guy who is unable to publish full finance report.
A guy who still fail to explain where those 7000 golds are.
Krakken raised serious question about irish money...still waiting for aplleman to answer it...
If he show you finances then all our enemies will know how capable to defend we are. This way we're threat for anyone because noone knows how rich we are.
On the other hand it would be good to know how much money we have and what progress we made.
I guess AppleMan choosen that the reason not to show it is more important then the reason to show it.
What defence?
ireland became a country that surrender and bendover when invaded like we all saw with last british invasion.
And when not occupied then selling teritories like a prostitue.....
Ireland a threat...more a joke of erepublik.....
