God this is getting sick.
When I started, not that long ago, no open advertising of "Security Council" aid was made. I do however agree with Kevins bringing it to the forums as he has.
But now listen to yourselves:
continue to avoid undesirable activities, such as the production of nuclear weapons.
made "a bad war choice" by expanding his empire to two countries too quickly.
meets all the aid conditions.
Whose conditions? Excuse me, I'm part of the community too. And I dis-agree with some of your dictatorial conditions.
Gandolf has put it most succinctly:
1) NEED vs. WANT - A player that has gotten to the point of being in NEED of aid, through little or no fault of their own, disaster or such, is very different from the player that just WANTS. Generally, it has been my experience that the wanting player has already blown through whatever resources at their disposal on programs that do not foster a stable growing economy, and/or threaten those players around them. Additional funds would only reward poor, unwanted, or unwise behavior. Whereas a player in NEED, who is trying to build an empire, or even just a country that will prosper over the long haul is one that I am much more incline to assist.
So drop your 'holier than thou' stance and view each request on its merits, not your pre-conceived ideas of how a player should conduct their affairs.
Anyhow, I had to get that off my chest, sorry.
