(Updated) Immediate things to do/thoughts
Ranger Bob
So, downshot for folks info appears to be there was an internal fight between the CP and some congress or other notable peeps on how to fight peru and whether to be wiped or not. In the end, BDR cracked the poops, which led to him leaving. He handed over the Aus orgs to icetek and appointed him PM in game.
Others didn't like (note - I am not commenting on any merits of this either way or arguments to and fro about who is and isn't elected) and some form of congress vote was discussed. Again, not commenting on merit, but downshot appears to be a number of peeps are now planning a dictatorship.
This has been messy, not clear and played out poorly by and for all sides. I will note that in my view the only victim in all this is the people who saw this play out in articles, with to-ing and fro-ing on attacks, disagreements and the like.
Final update - if a political party will have me, I want to run for congress this term. What I can promise the people from this run is i will report regularly what is going on (I mean, ACTUALLY going on), won't bullshit you, and I have a view that fighting aside it will be activity and growing our population that's important. I've already commented previously I want to see funds freed up for new ways to get military structured to promote people being a part of something bigger, and I will come up with other ideas as well should you give me a chance.
APOLOGIES FOR PUTTING THIS IN HERE - I didn't want to run two articles simultaneously.
If a party would be happy for my to join and form part of their ticket this month please let me know.
Been reading, and gotta say this is all a bit confusing right now.
1. Someone might have hacked BDRs account - sure. But, he wouldn't have gotten the passwords to Aus orgs. So, I am assuming BDR gave them to him (icetek). However, BDR you need to change your password, confirm you are indeed in control of your account, and if so, make sure no more stupid proposals are proposed.
(And please, confirm you have quit so at least the public can see that).
2. Icetek or whomever - this country needs transition to some leadership (I am also assuming BDR is giving it up - given his PMS to me in recent days it is plausible) and this needs to occur now.
3. Personally, I don't mind icetek doing it as he appears active and I don't accept just because someone a year ago was a certain way means they are now. I also AND VERY POINTEDLY want to state that regardless of how, I do not think icetek is out to screw eAus, or, even when there was trolling going on (and I see as much of it from both sides as each other), that he hates eAus. Just like I don't think Binda, XG or others were either. How they approach things may be different, but they don't want to screw the country.
4. Congress is a moot point in as much as I rarely see much from them. They haven't appeared to stand up, put forward any ideas themselves, or, deal with the current situation. Where the F**k are you people?! Do you even care? Either act, or shaddup, and let at least one person who IS, lead.
5. EAus may or may not be a "laughing stock". The reality is, other countries are not immune from this bullshit (Ray gun Reagan, need I go,on?) it's just for some reason, in eAus, we have more than our fair share of people who appear to have learned communication via home and away and neighbours. Oh, the drama! What is sad about this entire scenario, is even when significant shit goes down, energy seems to be more,on infighting than what next. Respectfully, wake up and nut up.
I would suggest that, if BDR has quit, or, if you are quitting then immediate action is needed.
Even if Icetek has been given the keys to the kingdom, as I understand mechanics CP then defaults to the top ranked player in eAus (in case of an impeachment with no second elected player). If I am correct, this means it would default to AussieCRO. This is how it worked in the past, works in other elections like PP where a party president quits, and is consistent with description of mechanics in game.
Note - a country president has the right to contact admin and ask all passwords to orgs gov controls be reset.
The alternate option, is for congress/people to support a dictator to take over. I don't like this option as I've posted concerns with it before.
Anyway, enough of this crap. My personal support will be, in the absence of anyone apparently doing ANYTHING outside of icetek, that he take the role. By god, he cannot do more harm than others have recently.
That is all.
Ranger.
Comments
This makes to much sense, to the iron Maiden with this witch
The country remains leaderless if the impeachment law passes. It will of go to the next highest ranking candidate not citizen.
If there is no alternate candidate erep admin has previously advised it goes to ranking. Want me to contact them and confirm this? It is how v1, v2 and this have operated in the past.
It was pulled up from the wiki in the congress thread when the impeachment law was proposed. Also over nations have been leaderless in the past when PBs have happened. I am more concerned about the time line of events and how strange it is
FAQ
What happens if there were only two candidates for president in a country. The first person is elected president and then impeached. The second takes her place. Then the second president is impeached. Who will be president of the country then?
No one. The country will not have a president.
https://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Impeachment
Mỹ understanding of the time line of events
- Dil resigns from MoFA
- BDR requests to be impeached
- Icetek is made MoFA
- Icetek is apparently made heir apparent by BDR
- Icetek changes the org passwords so he has sole control
- Once people question the impeachment and what is going on BDR does rogue laws.
- When people question why a democratic country is being handed over to a newly returned and appointed Icetek, the once bat s%@t crazy BDR (who proposed rogue laws) all of a sudden becomes clear headed and dismisses his cabinet and leaves Icetek in charge :

Have I missed something or got the order of events wrong
I don't think I am allowed to post confidential PMs between me and BDR over the last few days without FP's am I? I think BDR was angry at a lot of people (Dill being only 1) which might have led to this. It doesn't surprise me he gave the heir apparent to icetek.
So we now allow power to be handed to who ever when ever... Might as well throw away the voting system.
Congress was informed they have to vote. For the record there is no power play, power struggle or what have you. I am sure if Rusty D was given access to the ORG's you woudnt see him commenting on the matter so much.
Steps where taken within the hour of me finding out i had the ORGs to begin with. Unfortunately not everyone is active and this slows things down and rumors are spread.
Why would I have access to the Orgs, I am not a cabinet minister.
.
I am commenting as it effects the nation as a whole.
There you have it folks, Rusty D is officially the voice of eAUS
Nope not the voice of a nation, just a concerned voting citizen. Or don't you want people to question
Then dont vote for me...simple.....
Not in congress, so I don't have a vote 😉
Oh ok then, then keep your disgruntle ramblings to yourself cuz i don't think anyone cares.
So your back to silencing the voting public? Like all citizens of eAustralia we are given the vote to see who our CP is, we are given the vote to see who represents us in congress.
So yes, it does effect all citizens of eAustralia when someone takes unauthorised control of their nation
"So yes, it does effect all citizens of eAustralia when someone takes unauthorised control of their nation."
Kinda like when your talking in congress and cabin threads even tho your not in government right?
LoL your a joke dude.
Funny i think i will label you the new Icetek of eAUS!!!!!!
I was invited into every thread I am in. And how is talking taking control of a nation?
lol!
Clearly Icetek was too.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Yay another old Aussie who blames the RSU for everything. So Ilene, the fact Icetek has control of all the Orgs apparently given to him when the CP was either hacked or gone crazy doing rogue laws, makes it not a take over?
Or are you talking about threads that BDR was only too happy that I was in a few days ago?
Rusty say what you like i care for what you have to say 🙂
every one in eAus has a right to have their voice heard
Thank you AussieCRO, I am just like everyone else trying to work out what the hell is happening, we have seen so many flip flop actions by people it is hard to know who is in control of what.
Rusty you seem to be missing the point.
Every party here and every citizen does not hold biased views of others. For example i only met AussieCro but you dont see him talking shit about me. You seem to think that because something does not FIT YOUR views that means everyone is eAus should fallow your foot steps.
No one in eAus has any personal vendettas expect you. The sooner you realize thst the sooner we can all get along and move foward. Right now your the weakest link.
I suggest you keep up or shut up.
Comes down a lot to PP's being held responsible for who they have as the candidate for CP as well. No different than running a congress member.
RB4CP \o/
OK, now I'll say something.
I never resigned, I was kicked. BDR asked me to impeach him, which was not possible. Then he told me to tell congress to impeach. That would have fell directly into his plans to make me the bad guy so I refused. Icetek is grabbing for illegitimate power. To keep Australia safe a group of people who are previous CPs and Ministers, along with other concerned citizens have opted for a dictatorship. This isn't hostile and the dictator is not a one man show. Elite C will have a cabinet and act as interim CP. He will work with Congress.
