Hi there! im Blitz, former President of Azure Bank. for some of you who might have been following the bank lately, you guys might have noticed some shady stuff. former chairman Leox was fired. Or at least, thats what was said. lets look at this from behind the scenes. first off, Leox was constantly complaining about the lack of Sheets to record revenue and current worth of the bank and was requesting data to atleast make one. So was I. Sempre, the so called "founder" of the bank only game him the following data: 60k shares sold, 260 mil loaned out and 'rest in hand'. Leox was at the end, pissed. and finally spoke out. Sempre, got his ego touched. you probably guessed what happens next. Leox went forward to resign from his position. he was very respectful with his message not damaging the bank's reputation in any aspect. but as mentioned above, Sempre got his ego touched. and he proclaimed that Leox was fired and insulting him in the announcement. However, upon further questioning, he did delete the second announcement. well you might say, its the owner's liberty to do whatever he wants with his Board. but do you think its moral to do things as cheap as this?: and yes, he Shares were ripped away from him. and when confronted by my good friend and CEO of Orbis Bank, Robert. this was his reply: this might seem unprofessional and somewhat similar to what the Nazis did. However, this wasnt the first time this happened. MinesomeMC, the owner of PIT, (Who also helped share this issue) was also the victim of Sempre's madness. straight of, he is ripping shares off of people who speak against him. which implies, shareholders have no way to influence the direction of the bank. this, first off, makes your investment insecure. This could actually be qualified as gambling as you have no authority over the outcome. Most banks raise capital through shares. The profit that the bank makes is distributed on the basis on the % of total shares owned. as you might have guessed, the part of the profit that goes to the bank, depends on the % of shares owned by the bank. Sempre however, was ready to compromise the bank's profit for something that shall profit the bank in no aspect. how i got to know about this is as follows: Gosh! thats quite amazing isn't it? and finally now, im 'voted to step down' but given all this, do you think there should have been a vote? well, Azure is shady af. thats all i have to say. watch your investments. I loved this banking stuff. and you guessed it. yeah, im starting my own now. more info on that soon6 points

Sorry Shifty, but this is just too juicy to pass over. There were two Robert_Gero(s). One claimed to own both accounts and the other denied it. One spread false rumours the other got blamed. While they were both online at the same time. I noticed this weird phenomena and friended both, and added them to a Group Chat. There they encountered each other face to face and began to argue. The fake one (Robert_gero#6682) kept his act together for a very long time, but the true Robert defended his position well (Robert_gero#8112). Eventually after pressure the culprit revealed his identity as the infamous founder of Azure and Royal Union Bank, Sempre aka Antonious. Here are pictures of the conversation. https://imgur.com/a/lUGloKV (There is alot) Tl;DR [Sempre (Antonious) is pretending to be others to hurt their reputation]4 points

This settles it. If I ever get back into the Orbis finance scene, I'm starting a credit rating bureau. Also, never trust a bank that can't be assed to publish financials. There's no reason not to - Stratton Oakmont proved this for several years while in operation. No, the amount of cash you have on hand and the amount you have loaned out isn't super secret info that can lead to the fall of your bank.4 points

This "Credit Rating Bureau" indeed already exist, but it's still new. I can seek out a link to it for you if you want to try and help them out, and I believe it really only addresses clients, not the banks themselves. As for the transparency issue, Leviathan is in the process of fully reviewing our policies and business practices, so I'll be glad to take some feedback about the pro/con of increased transparency to propose the case to our board. So feel free to message me @Joel James and psweet As for Azure, we've had our clashes with pretty much every bank in Orbis when we first started, Azure being no exception, but I wish them the best in trying to rebuild their reputation from this, and extend my advice if sir Sempre would like to listen.3 points

Hey peeps, so apparently there's been a doppelganger of the man named Robert_gero. He's been causing trouble and trying to cause tension between alliances. I want y'all (Hey I did it right Buorhann) to be aware of this guy and be able to differentiate between the real one and the fake ass mark. Rober_gero's real Discord Tag and ID: Robert_gero#8112 or 262886035287965696 The fake ass kid (I dunno if I can be my black self and say the patented n---a word on the forums so) that's trynna start shit: 508047114962468875 Put this on your notes or screenshot it or something so you'll remember. Or bookmark this page. I don't care just do something. Be on the lookout and take second guesses, if any of this community can do that. Thanks, Creed Mallory2 points

Look up Stratton Oakmont. They had public sheets that showed how much money was in the bank, who money was loaned to, how much was left to pay off in each loan, records of every transaction, and more. All publicly available, you didn't even have to be a shareholder. Psweet had decided to do this because he was fighting an uphill battle to make banks trustworthy on Orbis, and this would offer a level of transparency to clients and potential clients. I feel kind of bad for him. Shitheads like the one who runs Azure would take his hard work and squander it because they are thin-skinned losers. Years of hardwork down the drain.2 points

Wow I made it into the screenshots, and wow that's a lot of stuff against Azure. If you want a proper bank I'd say head over to Leviathan bank as we have very detailed logs for everything, or just wait and see what Blitz's up to. I'm sure whatever it is will be good and proper, here's to your endeavor' success!2 points

Hey, this is Robert, CEO of Orbis Bank another mention after I had issues with him at Goldward Bank. After an argument shifted to the entrance. Sempre never gave me an apology and Goldward's CEO ended up apologizing on his behalf. Sempre damaged Goldward and I think he does not deserve a position there. Thank god he can't kick or ban people. Impreza even stated that his behaviour was not up to standards. Now also as my name is being impersonated. There is a high chance that one of them is Sempre. As there is now 2 copies of my account trolling, threating and fighting with other members of orbis.2 points

Liberty of action doesn't mean exemption to criticism and backlash. Also, seizing someone's stocks is an excellent way to plummet it's value due to the destroyed trust with the shareholders in particular, and public in general.1 point

Wait, isn't the whole idea of "shares" being that the shareholder owns a portion of the assets of the bank? And therefore they are the owners? If someone's gone and taken stuff that someone else owns, that's called robbery. It is no-one's liberty to do that, not at all. (War is different, there's no expectation nor trust necessary in direct competition. This is more akin to pactbreaking.)1 point

The whole premise of banking is for you to entrust someone with your money and ensure they deliver on a return for your Investment. I too was suspicious since Azure bank has many "@ Everyone" pings with a revolving door of board members, frivolous annoucements, alongside poor record keeping. However this just confirms that. Not all banks are dodgy. Without trying to self promote we've always strived to provide a service that delivers returns to our Investments and offers generous borrowing schemes for our lenders. (We are still a business though so we are trying to make a profit, but we don't rip people off as its poor business practice) Its sad that the actions of some taint the reputation of a sector that has many good people in it. Orion isn't the only bank that IMO, has a great reputation as there are plenty of good banks out there.1 point

I honestly hope that none of my members have touched this bank. Just by this message alone, I can guess that taking a loan would be awful with interest.1 point

I think so, not sure if it was an actual suggestion topic but I definitely remember saying that in another suggestion topic about heir permissions. There should definitely be more ranks, personally I'd like the ability to create many different ranks and an admin control panel that allows leaders to choose what powers these ranks have access to in the bank/taxes section and officer control panel, so that you wouldn't have to monitor officers to make sure they aren't using powers not related to their position. However at a bare minimum there should be two new ranks, one above and one below the current officer rank, so you don't have to choose between giving all officers bank access or making someone an heir just to give bank access. Then the lower rank to serve as a lower gov position.1 point

You are saying that to someone who co-founded an alliance built on the idea of doing things against our economic self interest in the pursuit of our personal enjoyment of the game. Alliances have different priorities, and those priorities come with different sacrifices. You are asking the game developer to offset the downsides of your particular strategy, to cater to your own subjective version of what constitutes fun. Pragmatism has a cost. If your foremost priority was fun, this wouldn't be a problem, because you'd adapt your strategy to maximize that at the expense of other priorities. You can't be ultra pragmatic, plan wars to the extent at which losing is not a possibility as many alliances do, and then blame the game for not being suitably "competitive". If people want competitive wars, take risks, don't be ultra pragmatic. Perhaps you might be in the wrong alliance?1 point

Then don't hold them down for 5 days in a blockade and hit them when they rebuy once a day? The whole point of attrition straight from the mouth of IQ leadership back during Git Gud Friday was that attrition warfare was done with express goal of boring people out of their minds to make it unpleasant for anyone to fight IQ. If you want to have fun, try beiging your opponent and waiting for them to come back after you so you can fight them properly again. If you don't want to challenge yourself or take any risks, don't be surprised when its not as enjoyable. Also don't change resistance per war type sheepy that is stupid.1 point
