The Bank of Yohannes—NationStates' Oldest Bank RP

[Yohannes]

---

[ Out of character: just to show what 'at the complete mercy' actually translate to:

I hereby declare any fictional 'shareholding' or any such fictional things to be null and void: this includes the shareholding ownership of every other players who roleplayed having 'fictional' shares of this fictional business.

until the time that Menelmacar can post a good answer and sufficient explanation as reply to my questions above.

Welcome to the true meaning of storytelling. How things changed so quickly from the so called 'good old days', eh? ]

[Menelmacar]

(This is in no sense a 'competitive' RP, or intended to be one. As you've many times said that the bank is meant to be sensibly RPed as an actual business, sometimes these issues come up when actual businesses do things that turn out to be monstrous PR disasters. The sensible ones generally backpedal furiously. Headlines about this sort of thing appear every day.

Why didn't I telegram you first, though? Simply put, I didn't think to, and it honestly didn't cross my mind that there would be an obligation to telegram you first about every IC interaction or transaction, especially one this easily resolved. I apologize for that.)

[Yohannes]

[ Out of character: don't play games with me.

You of all people should know me full well. I can be competitive, and I can be really up to the point if I want to. Easily. Let me make this clear for you to understand:

1. You are basically telling, nay, commanding, for me to delete all my fictional characters or fictional 'Board of Directors', and submit myself to your mix of OOC and IC pressure (of altering something as serious as who are in character wise in charge of this bank)

I see it for what it is: coup by stealth. And it can lead to many other, further consequences, the worst of what would be the possibility for you to take in character ownership of the Bank of Yohannes fictional concept.

You have once told me of a certain someone that you disliked in the past (and still do dislike up to the present day) who like to do that sort of things (competitive domination without cooperation or at the very least, telegram communication) to storytellers of certain persuasion.

Well, you are acting just like the way he treated the players you believed he mistreated back then.

You 'forgot' to telegram me? You want to pretty much take over this whole fictional concept that I have worked hard to build. That I have wanted to share with others - just like you - so that they can have fictional 'ownership of this thing.

While other storefront owners back then did not even want such things (other people owning their fictional business concept). I was the only one who were (and still are up to the present day) generous enough to let others fictionally 'own' something from my fictional nation's storyline. Left and right, I see others wanting to 'own' shares, ownerships and the likes. But they do not want to give back; to let others 'own' something of their very own fictional nation concept.

Through it all, I tried to show others that that is wrong: that you should let others have a fictional 'ownership' of your fictional story. So that you can better connect yourself with other players of this wonderful NationStates game. And at the same time, enriching your nation simulation background by connecting yourself with others through the sphere of economic and diplomacy storytelling

Well, now I have seen how my goodwill can be abused so easily. 'Forgot' to telegram? I mean, c'mon... really?

No more fictional shareholding for this fictional business concept (and other such business concept from Yohannes, unless I personally like or am close to the player in question).

As an opening poster, I also would love for you not to post further here. Thank you.

To Whom It May Concern:

After being notified of troubling  expenditure commitments by the Bank
of Yohannes [1], YellowApple, Inc. has authorized a complete withdrawl
of the  "Executive" monetary account  currently held with the  Bank of
Yohannes,  the value  of which  is estimated  to be  six million,  one
hundred twenty  five thousand, two hundred  fifteen Universal Standard
Dollars  and zero  cents (N$6,125,215.00)  per our  calculations of  a
N$5,000,000  deposit  with  7% interest  compounded  annually.   While
YellowApple, Inc. has previously been a satisfied customer of the Bank
of Yohannes, we  are concerned that our investment is  unsound at this
time.  YellowApple,  Inc.  would  be more  than happy  to return  as a
customer should the cited ethical and financial concerns be rectified.

Additionally,   also  in   response   to   the  above-cited   finding,
YellowApple, Inc. notes diminished demand for the services of the Bank
of Yohannes  within YellowApplan  jurisdiction, which -  combined with
findings  by the  YellowApple Department  of International  Relations'
Amistad  Declaration   Fulfillment  Office  -  has   resulted  in  our
authorization for  the closure of  all 1,000  branches of the  Bank of
Yohannes currently in operation within YellowApplan jurisdiction until
the above-cited ethical and financial concerns are resolved.

We  look forward  to lasting  (but conditional)  peace and  prosperity
between our nations.

Sincerely,

Corporate Representative Allen Pelaverga
YellowApple Department of Corporate Operations
Accounting and Payroll Division

[ Out of character: Redacted. I am sorry too for not being nicer with my reply to your original post, YellowApple. Things are back to normal again for both of us as far as I am concerned ]

[Yohannes]

[ Out of character: I would like to publicly apologise for the harsh words I have posted above. Perhaps, I could also think twice before posting something. I could have said things a lot nicer, but I guess I made the mistake of not thinking thoroughly before posting as well. Especially regarding the 'next lot replacing' bit, that was very harsh. And I must apologise to the player behind YellowApple for that unfair sentence

In conclusion, I will not remove my posts above (or Menelmacar and Yellowapple's posts, as I am a transparent person, who do not like to hide things. I have said harsh things, and I could have reacted a lot nicer, but I did not. And so I will keep my posts above to show that I have done my own mistakes.

Things still stand, however, unfortunately. I simply dislike the fact that secret in character information - acquired from reading a national factbook OOC wise - can be used in IC way.

and once again: to the applicants and people sending fictional letters that I have not replied yet, I would like to say sorry again, I just don't feel like storytelling this bank at the moment (hence the lack of reply for days now)

I will most likely not reply to your in character posts for quite a while for this fictional business storefront, as I am generally not interested with pretending/storytelling running this fictional bank for now ]

To Bank of Yohannes:

Greetings! The Legion International University is a global higher education provider owned by The Legion Corporation. I am Dr Alistair Hennings, Chancellor of the Legion International University, and am writing to you today regarding a proposal to collaborate! The University operates a relatively new way of role-playing, which aims towards connecting major industry leaders to become partners of our colleges and schools within the University. The aim of our institution is to nurture the next generation, to educate and pass on to them skills that are practical in the international market. We believe in down-to-earth realistic skill sets and being global-mindedness. We want to nurture students who can create and develop new ideas and concepts to lead the industries of tomorrow. At the same time, we can promise our partners in the industry the continual surge of talented professionals to join their organizations.

The Legion International University is building its institutions worldwide at the same time and we are contacting international market experts to join us!

Our institution operates under a new education system called the Legion International Education Standards Certification Program, an official certification provided by all Legion International Universities worldwide for higher education. The program is highly regulated by the Board of the L.I. University and the Ministry of Community of the Recon Empire. With strict mandates to curriculum and student development, it offers personalized learning and efficient certification at every level from Undergraduate up to Terminal degrees.

The Bank of Yohannes is no stranger to the Legion Corporation and anyone who's had some time on the GE&T forums. As undoubtedly the most respected and prominent bankers on the market today, it truly defines Yohannes as "the Heartland of Finance and Banking". We are very interested in having you as a partner to The Kohler Institute of Economics and Business. The Kohler Institute of Economics and Business is the foundational school for every Legion University worldwide. Providing its students with core essentials to management, marketing, and other aspects of business administration and economics, the Kohler Institute of Economics and Business breeds sharp-minded entrepreneurs and market trendsetters. We sincerely hope that the Bank of Yohannes can provide this great opportunity for us to receive your organization's veteran guidance and at the same time an opportunity for our graduates to be employed at your company.

By being a partner of the University, it shows the support and recognition for our certification, and at the same time offers our students internship opportunities within your company! As the employment for GE&T businesses have not really been taken care for, this is a brilliant opportunity for us to address these RP aspects. It also provides us an opportunity for a deeper level of roleplaying in the future! Furthermore, as the Legion International University is not a single university, but is adapted into different countries all around the world, it provides a holistic and objective approach towards providing a professional and diverse employment. If you'd like, we're even happier to construct a university in your nation for your people!

Regardless, it would be a great honour to have such an esteemed partner to come on board on this mutually beneficial venture! We welcome you to visit our storefront to find out more about our organization!

As the Legion International University hopes to serve as a bridge and connecting point for different industries, at the same time we also seek your understanding in areas of improvement! We are very open to feedback on our current systems, and would be extremely grateful if you could provide us with feedback and suggestions so we can continue to grow and improve along!

With our greatest sincerity and respect, we look forward to your correspondences. Thank you very much.

Yours truly,

Dr Alistair Hennings
Chancellor
The Legion International University
The Legion Corporation

Creation of the Recon Education Investment Fund


Te Whanganui a Tara, 17 June - The Legion International University of Imperial Recon and the Bank of Yohannes have formed a friendship through mutual trust with the goal of building beneficial links and relationships between Yohannesian businesses and the burgeoning tertiary education sector of Imperial Recon.

Enveloped under the recently established eight year agreement, the Bank of Yohannes’ medium growth Recon Education Fund has helped to fund the expansion and modernisation of the Legion Commerce and Business Administration Lecture Hall, and the associated Hall of Residences of the students involved. The name of the Bank of Yohannes would not be quite the stranger to the ears of Imperial Recon’s many bright future movers and shakers.

“The latest Ixnos-Appsen survey shows that around 10 per cent of Legion commerce students use the Bank of Yohannes tertiary study checking accounts... which can save up to $100 each year”, quipped Alexander Romanos, the latest of Legion University’s fifty young graduates chosen to participate in the Bank’s 2015 Internship Programme for their strong academic focus and record.

“As a former university student myself, I know how much that extra dollar digit can make a difference every week… for the additional consumption and purchase of booz; I mean, books, are… well, expensive.”

“Surely… more can be done to subsidise the weekly, crucial, allowance and essential living arrangement of other eager, passionate undergraduate students out there?”

Bank of Yohannes Find Below the Grade Report and Review. Do note that this report is not the Monthly Rothward Report that depicts multiple storefronts. Financial Banking Bank of Yohannes Grade 81 A First Glance The Bank of Yohannes is an internationally renowned, immediately recognisable hegemon of financial banking within the Global Economic Community. Most if not all major transactions, and financial withholding practises take place within this firm which holds a very long, deeply rooted history. Everything from accounts, securities, loans, stocks and shares, investments and more are in the arsenal of this Bank, perhaps one of the most illustrious in the extreme, of financial institutions that has ever meddled in Global Economics. Rarely do Banks have considerable access, and influence to an extent that can be felt outside of Economics, and into the day-to-day proceedings of International Politics. The Review There was a time when the Bank of Yohannes was hardly known, however it has tirelessly clawed its way into the minds of anyone who deals in international trade. It can be said quite easily, that when the Bank shrugs – the globe feels the tremor, an interesting analogy to depict for a firm that can arguably execute its own soft power should it see fit, and be as devastating as any standing army. Naturally, with such great power comes responsibility, and few times have ever existed where the Bank has needed to create tsunamis in a world where the waves are constantly crashing. Rather – when administrators from the Bank of Yohannes enter a room, everyone stops and listens, they've truly garnered that much prestige. The storefront in itself, is very complex, very organised, and very intimidating. Outside of a few glitches, such as the flashy information banners, with cyclic ads that do not fit well for many screen resolutions, the sheer construction of the page as a whole is titanic, and well deserving of one's respect. Of course, it is loaded with nothing but information – and a lot to take in in a short read. There is an issue however, when reading – with the mountains of information – the need for better and shorter paragraphs is upfront and apparent. As wall of texts – and with the typical professional and legal jargon applied to such a titan, one can't help but feel a bit intimidated and lost. Pictures are an amazing break-up for a storefront, and can make or break one's hard work. For the most part, the placing at the beginning is a bit haphazard but sorts itself out down the road, thought at times, can be somewhat distracting due to the sheer number of images applied. Despite this, the reading will be the most extensive task one will conduct when visiting this storefront. Naturally, for the amount of services the Bank actually offers, there's a lot of legal and professional jargon that must be mulled over before someone accidentally digs themselves into a pit. Though, some of the “large-word” syndrome encountered is nothing more than marketing garbble intended to to assert the Bank's position, and convince you that they are the best option in managing your financials. In other areas however, some sections would appear to work best if this form of syndrome was restrained, and dulled to allow individuals who weren't completely savvy or well-educated in the matters of Banking and Finance, to better comprehend what was actually being said and not be met with walls of arguably condescending language. With the intimidation factor, engaging an individual into a contract when they've not fully understood the parameters of the agreement is quite risky. Though this policy isn't exactly foreign to storefronts, and can be manipulated as a marketing trick. Naturally, people fall for it. Though, to be fair, the Bank does make a fair point of attempting to appear humble and seem more relative to the customer by stating they “are not the best”. Which – in light, seems trivial for an additional tag following the “About Us” and merely aims to support the notion that they do think otherwise. Marketing after all. Course if you can get passed the sporadic long strings of “long-word syndrome”, and carefully take your time to read, it does in fact make quite a bit of sense, so it isn't completely useless. However, impatient people do exist, and it's hard not to concern for those more prone to being impressionable. Then again, that is the entire point of a storefront – to sell itself, thought we'll have to strike a few points simply because of the lengthy paragraphing. Further on, everything else is extremely well organised, descriptions of the different types of accounts, fair and well balanced financial leveraging, and a wide plethora of services that may lead one to use the Bank of Yohannes for anything and everything. In this way, they've essentially established a financial hegemony. Unfortunately, after some time digging through writing and glancing at the pictures – the aesthetics become quickly boring and grow one tired, if anything they seem to be there simply to keep your mind awake for a minute moment before you drift off into a slumberous retreat once more. Now the practicality of the organisation, and the directive links are what really stands out here, and takes a large bulk of how one may view the page. Everything works, and it goes where it should – from there on, the process is mostly painless and upfront. Chiselled to perfection as some might ordain it. Once you actually get to interact with customer service, response times are a toss of the coin. Averaging anywhere from 1.5 to 4 days, though one can't help but notice the stark professionalism when receiving a missive from the Bank. In all – the Bank of Yohannes may not be full of expressive glamour, it isn't attractive – in fact it may be considered ugly and dull, boring, and not a first option when choosing a date if we must go by looks alone, but that does not do it justice. Under the surface is where its real personality lies, and the actual beauty – if even not immediately obvious. Between the lines of the legal rabble, the Bank of Yohannes is exceptionally organised, practical, and one may expect nothing less than shrewd professionalism. It is, in every right, a Titan amidst waves of competitors, and just goes to show – that sometimes looks aren't everything, and the Bank of Yohannes pulls far greater weight under the surface than it'll ever freely let on. It is the quiet, calm face of a wise man, sitting humbly in a chair out of sight, enjoying a glass of scotch to his wrinkled lip, and carefully pulling the strings of all those dancing in the room.

Caracasus Industry and Trade
Co-signatory Caracasus International affairs
Greetings Bank of Yohannes. We have had dealings with your nation in the past, both on joint security patrols and in a trade capacity. We have found your nation to be both honorable and stable. Caracasus is a communist state, and as such we have little in the way of financial interests outside trade with fellow socialist nations, and exporting for foreign markets. We recognise, however, the importance of ensuring that we possess adequate funds that may be released relatively quickly to deal with unforeseen eventualities. At present, in spite of our powerful economy, freeing up economic resources at short notice is a legislative minefield. To rectify this, Caracasus Industry and trade would like to open an account with your bank, ensuring that we can continue to operate effectively on the international stage.

[ Out of character: this is just me telling our lovely Bank of Yohannes story participants - just in case there will be current story partners who are a bit annoyed if I don't say why - that I will be off NationStates completely until my current semester's over. I love this game and I love to interact with storytelling partners of this fictional bank concept, but uni and real life social stuff must both be my primary priorities for now sadly - though it doesn't matter as I will be back to this lovely game next year!

Until then, consider ALL that you post here to be existing immediately the moment that you have posted here (also it would be lovely if you can not... post ridiculous figures for account creation or investment deals or partnership or... yeah... because when I am back I will strike off the silly ones). So if you want to claim that your fictional nation or concepts are connected with this Bank of Yohannes storyline in whatever way that may be? Feel free, but please record that relationship by posting here for future record keeping and for decorative purpose.

Thank you, and I'll see y'all January 2016! ]

forgot to say this... thank you so much for connecting your fictional nations' storylines with this Bank of Yohannes story... thank you!

Edit: Can't really avoid the allure of this game... it's too tempting for me to procrastinate [here and there] on this site... I mean, surely - we all have our own secret sins sometimes!
