Happy Birthday Olympus! Onwards to 3 and beyond!

Congrats on reaching the milestone guys

You missed out SNAFU in Poseidon

Congrats CD on still existing, getting a new tyrannical leader and breaking another milestone

SNAFU needs 5 tech sellers that are interested in every 10 days getting their tech dealing done in one shot and making above market profits along the way. We have a continuous $6mil for 150 tech program going that needs sellers who want to grow fast. If you're interested please just PM me on these boards or in game and we'll get you set up!

Delete please, internet gave up on me.

[quote name='Grendel' timestamp='1288228782' post='2494699'] With a name like SNAFU,........................what could go wrong [/quote] You don't know the half of it

[quote name='Bob Janova' timestamp='1288179488' post='2494182'] Sorry Hydra but Iron Curtain and the Legion treaty put you firmly in that sphere in treaty terms . [/quote] Hydra don't have a treaty with Legion, not unless something dramatic has happened in the last week

How dare you! the cheek

[quote name='President S O' timestamp='1287275317' post='2486125'] Congratulations guys. Look forward to our four alliances working more closely together. @Joe32320 - No more slot filling or spying? And cheers QH. o/ [/quote] SO, the SNAFU-Olympus treaty doesn't allow it but you still try anyways, so i fail to see how this is going to be any different

Very glad to see this, couldn't ask for better allies and friends, I look forward to working with you all in future BAPS, Olympus, Valhalla

Congrats guys on reaching 1000 days old

The gold standard has an issue, that the money supply only grows with the amount of gold you dig out of the ground. The problem is that the gold dug up out of the ground nowadays is proportional a huge amount less than the growth in all the items produced in the world, leading to deflation, which is bad for several reasons, mostly cause it promotes the hoarding of money and gold, because as you keep the said money/gold it becomes worth more over time. Similar to the current crisis, this hoarding will only promote more hoarding, which reduces spending (yes the price will drop with the decrease in money, but will have a considerable lag so will reduce the actual amount of money people hold) so we'll be in the poo returning to the gold standard. The only way you can avoid that is to use paper money, as it allows flexiblity to increase (and decrease too, to a lesser extent) the money supply. Eccomnics 101, money supply determines the price level if the quanity of goods, and velocity of money stays the same (MV=PQ) The issue at the moment is that basically the velocity of money has decreased, because bankers and businesses are scared to invest. this causes deflation. The thing that needs to be done to get the eccomny moving again is to either increase the velocity of money, hard because unless you control the banks (which in Britain does begs many questions why they don't force the banks to lend) they don't want to invest in such uncertain climates, so the only other option you have left is to increase the money supply, which the banks should use to invest, this will get things moving again, as they're more willing to invest. Yes there is a big arguement as to why we should keep fuelling the banks with money, the easy solution really is to attach to such bailing outs the condition of regulations to stop this sort of mess happening again. To go back a bit, I don't see where gold is better, aside from being used for high end technologies, it's actually pretty useless itself. It's just durable and desirable enough to be used as a substitute to cash historically without really having any inherent wealth, certainly not to the price it's currently fetching.

Sad to see you go, always sad to see a purple alliance go Good luck in Hydra though And annoy Jac as much as possible

/me pokes fun at Stets for talking to himself
