[Invalidation4CP] What Makes the eUK?
•
by Invalidation
The eUnited Kingdom for the last few years has been a conflict of opposing groups. Our politics is cut-throat and often quite dirty. Hypocrisy is as rife among the moralfaggers and the wannabe revolutionaries. We stand divided, with lines drawn according to tribalism, ideology and everything under the sun from accusations of conspiracy to cheating. Its a state of affairs that many are unhappy with, and every side calls out for change and compromise.
But why should we? Why should anyone have to change for anyone else? Why bother with compromise?
The fact is that despite all our differences, however bitter and however heated, everyone here wants the best for the country. From the 'evil' Iain Keers to the 'power-crabbing' BigAnt, we all want eUK to succeed no matter what wild motives we imagine our hated internal enemies have.
What the trouble stems from is not conflicting aims. Its that everyone is apparently an absolutist, their ideas are the only valid ones and nobody else can possibly be correct because there is one path to glory! This trouble is compounded by a belief that most people seem to share – the belief that everything involving the eUK is the responsibility of the current government.
Well I say no group needs to radically change or compromise to the point of degradation.
I want to see an eUK boiling over with competition between every group with the will to do what it thinks is right! Its what we're suited to, its what is best for our younger generation and best for ourselves. So what if the elected government isn't using your policies, enact them yourselves. A surprising amount of things can be achieved even without a pixel title.
The obstacle here is first and foremost laziness and a willingness to take the path of least resistance. Why bother to feed yourself when the spoon in already being guided into your mouth.. Why learn about alliances and other countries when there's a guy who knows a guy already.. Why work out where your damage is needed and when if you can dump it all in the first battle you see..
What someone needs to do is step back and leave people to make decisions and make mistakes. I want to see people taking their fate into their own hands. Lets not have monolithic ministries to do everything, lets have all these competing groups with all their different ideas striving to enact them at once.
We'd soon find there are now multiple NHS-type organisations, each trying to provide a better supply than the next! Now we have multiple ways our young players are introduced to the game, each with its own slant or specialisation!
What if people use this for political gain?! They already have, already do, and will continue to do so... Its pointless to deny it, lets encourage it. Players will be more motivated to provide the best service they can if they have a personal interest as well as a national one!
All someone needs to do is legitimise and even encourage the de facto eUK gameplay. So I thought: what if I stood up to do what's necessary. Afterall, I can't rely on anyone else to what I think is right.
This is the attitude I want to see everyone take. Don't rely on anyone else to do what you think needs to be done – just get on with it, no matter what anyone else says!
* Skeleton non-necessary ministries
* Encourage responsibility – not welfare
* Internal conflict exists and we 'secretly' love it
* Legitimise and maximise on the state of affairs
* Let our conflict be our competition
Stay tuned to learn about what I will aim to do so we can achieve all this and more...

This is the guy that caused a mass quit of ~100 players through a campaign of harassment against a couple of political parties starting in Janurary and leading upto the summer.
He was accusing me of paedophilia only last week here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-newera-thank-you-and-let-s-dance-2341652/1/20
You can look at his article history to see his trolling campaign against New Era, when he has always been a TUP member..
He says: "Well I say no group needs to radically change or compromise to the point of degradation." - Unless he doesn't them, then he spams them with hate mail until they leave?
I wonder how much how much of his hate voters can stomach in the next week or will he start being polite now to try and gain votes?
ad hominem
Lots of what is written here sounds quite reasonable and community building, but actually the biggest culprit of doing much of what you argue against was and still is yourself and your party.
This calls into question your honesty and capability to implement this manifesto. It isn't Ad Hominem because the links I directed people to are directly related to your comments in the manifesto (not only your character).
For example: "I want to see an eUK boiling over with competition between every group with the will to do what it thinks is right!" When you, your friends and party spent a lot of time arguing about and taking action against One Vision and then New Era's new player supply programmes; then UKPP and then New Era's efforts to compete politically with TUP.
Perhaps you changed your mind but you haven't made any indication that you have.
I hope that you will apologise for your harassment campaigns and pledge to stop them so that we can all move on and actually try to achieve just what you have posted here.
For example will you stop calling me a paedophile and asking me to kill myself?
I will forgive all of your sins if you do a few hundred million damage over my term in the right places and the right times. Though I doubt you will do this, or ever stop spouting fallacy. Shame 🙁
Over 100 multis quit or moved to Ireland 🙁
Looks like you will be toning things down this week then judging by the replies.
Ad Hominem is attacking someone's character to discredit their argument. Your argument is fine I'm not disputing it, so it isn't Ad Hominem.
I am saying that you yourself have not supported these statements through your words and actions very recently (with links), so you are not in my opinion a suitable person to guide progress along these lines and may even just be saying any old BS for votes.
Of course it isn't you I need to convince, it's everyone else reading this.
Saying any old BS for votes would be to simply copy and paste any of the last dozen CPs' manifesto with promises of more things to more people and all that garbage. Maybe you should drop your grudge and support someone (me) who's a lot more likely to be able to implement the changes you claim to want.
All evidence shows that you are less likely to implement the changes because you have shown that you don't belive in them with your recent words and actions.
I don't have a grudge at all, I would support you if you acknowledged your mistakes and tried to improve. Instead you are here arguing with me instead of just saying "sure I changed my mind".
Destroying that TACO rubbish you guys tried shows that I wholeheartedly believe what is written in this article. I saw a problem and rather than weakly plea for others to deal with it for me, I marched right in and sorted it out myself.
Now thanks to my efforts, eUK has a far more balanced group of parties competing for the top 5 spots. I'm glad that particular endeavour worked out well, there will be a lot of players who were also pleased but less willing to express it for: reasons.
I have shown myself to be relentless and willful, zealous and uncompromising in my pursuit of my aims. If anyone is going to fulfil promises like these, it is me.
OK so this UK you want where people take responsiblity and run their own stuff and compete and nobody changing for anyone else...
That is dependant on your personally agreeing with those groups and if you don't you'll harass them as you did with TACO (contradicting your original message)?
Sounds like a dictatorship?
Sounds nothing like dictatorship. Parties that don't have what it takes to compete will fail whether the CP endorses it or not.
The point is that you outright attacked/harassed a party and don't seem to think this is a problem if you personally don't like them.
It doesn't square with you saying you want competing/diverse MUs/NHS when you attack the ones that do compete.
Really what you say goes?
New Era tried retain its competitive edge under a little pressure. Simple as that. TUP happen to have managed to protect itself under a lot more pressure, so its just a case of a weak group failing. Not really anything here that diminishes my case.
New Era failed to retain its competitive edge, I mean. It happens when you lack willpower.
You harassed our members in PMs, party feeds and articles. TUP has never faced that and I don't remember anyone else ever doing that.
Just admit it was a shitty thing to do and move on, otherwise it's going to be brought up everytime you try and do something with responsibility in the game.

I support this man's vision!
Bend over and take it, eUK.
if (Invalidation4CP = Valnad4Cake)
Invalidation4CP = true
else Invalidation4CP = false
All of the cake for Valnad, Keeper of the Cake!
Very well said. Being a newer player I feel insulted when people offer me food and weapons. I know it is all to help. But I figure that if I can make myself self sufficient it will make me a better player and ultimately a better and stronger citizen. This game takes patience. It can't be handed to you on a silver platter. I think it will make the game harder but we will have a stronger eUK if we striver to make all new players self sufficient rather than handing them everything from the very beginning. I'm not against hand outs if it is absolutely necessary. But we should be only giving away food and weapons for people to fight for our nation making it stronger. Rather we give it to anyone that wants it not knowing where their damage is going to get put. Sorry for the long reply but I like where you are coming from.
I'm glad we're on the same page, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
so are you scrapping the NHS?
I don't think I can support that...
How can he possibly scrap something which is totally non-funded by the government? The government cannot scrap something they don't own
Voted and supported. People should first and foremost support themselves, their friends, their MU, their party. It should be friendship and hard work that forms the basis of the bottom up society.
This is the first CP manifesto I've read and actually thought was worth reading in over a year. I might actually write an article myself!
Good stuff.
“moralfaggers”… hmm, interesting… I’ll vote for you if you use it in another sentence…
You forgot to say that even when it is a dirty game of politics we do have a very interactive community who can put eUK dirty politics aside and play numerous other games together.
Good analysis, why do we need a CP?
Sadly there are buttons they have to press and backwards nations they will hold influence in simply by being CP. In terms of all internal aspects of government, we don't really!
Alice you are a godsend. Invalidation4CP. o7
True, sent by the God of intolerance and hostility
Sorry but I can't support Social Darwinism proposed by a well-established player from a well-established party.
That is a shame, but all the best wishes for your endeavours.
And to yours, too.
well it´s wonderland after all 😉

It's like Ron Swanson but erep
xD
shame it'll only last a month... people like to meddle too much.
A group of senators were sent to tell Cincinnatus that he had been nominated dictator. According to Livy, the senators found Cincinnatus while he was plowing on his farm. Cincinnatus cried out "Is everything all right?" They said to Cincinnatus that they hoped "it might turn out well for both him and his country," and then they asked him to put on his senatorial toga and hear the mandate of the senate. He called to his wife, Racilia, telling her to bring out his toga from their cottage
not a mention about hate or drawings.
Alice...Alice, who the feck is Alice?
