With the risk of repeating myself, I would like to know what RB needs gold for? Of course, gold is always nice to have but I can't see that we have any expenses in gold and thus it would indeed seem... odd... to jeopardize the entire MM.

I've done a similar thing myself back in the days when I was MoF under St00r, but back then our intentions were to INCREASE the value of SEK. Unfortunately, too many who had promised their support quickly saw an opportunity to score some easy profits and the attempt didn't last more than a few days. I took the blame for it, although it was a project that involved quite many players, but I also learned how pointless it is to try and offset the MM balance. We've had a floating currency peg for months and months... I just fail to see the reason why we would want to dope it now.

Not mentioning the fact that when I left office, our gold reserves were large. To say the least. I'm in favor of hoarding gold, sure... but not at the expense of selling out SEK below the market value. That's just a bad deal for everyone involved.

Edit: I just removed it all, it will make no good for me cursing and pointing fingers. Although I'm curious abut the rationale behind this initiative.
