eIreland - Rise Up Don't Falter
Cat Boyd
Published 14:00 on Day 3,057
Good evening my dear eIrish comrades,
Some new developments in this election which shine a bright light on the nature of eIrish politics today. Nearly two weeks ago we were in the rapids of Revolution, eIreland was rising up against a lame-duck administration who had overseen our occupation for months. One candidate, Sluagh, stood up against this administration and has set forward a comprehensive plan for our liberation. His expertise in military affairs would be most useful in the position of Country President and effectively a Dictator. On the other hand, there is me, who would focus rekindling the social infrastructure of eIreland with the promises of increased activity, immigration, and community events. Both of these aspects are necessary for eIreland to thrive.
Sluagh has agreed to be my Supreme Military Commander (Minister of Defense) if I were to win the election. With his military prowess and cunning leadership, coupled together we would revitalize both the military and social life of eIreland. A few days ago the ILP has proven to eIreland that it is indeed a conservative party! I have nothing against Rikian and from what I hear in the past he's been good, but everything I hear about Rikian is from 3.5 YEARS AGO. This creates a huge list of reasons why we should be wary of electing someone who has come out of the blue, endorsed by the party in power who have kept eIreland stagnant for months, with the two majority parties backing their campaign. Sure, Rikian may be a good CP candidate with some experience, but also note that eIreland has changed a lot since 2012 and we need an active candidate. I've noticed Rikian has given answers to his interview questions (which were replied to late after the article was published it is worth mentioning) and although me and Sluagh gave paragraphs Rikian managed to give two sentences to each question. If you remember grade school and you were like me, when I would turn in late work it was never my best and usually given minimal effort. I also could not find much substance to his answers, some of which seemed to be parroting mine and Sluagh's. I don't think Rikian would be a bad CP, I just think at this time he needs to show that he is an engaged player and can provide us with specific plans for implementing the policy he proposes. It is only fair as so far the only two serious candidates have done so themselves.
We can only conclude that this is a concerted attack by the current administration to maintain their influence in government and hold back progress. THE PEOPLE OF E-IRELAND DON'T WANT ANOTHER ILP PRESIDENT NEXT MONTH, WE WANT REAL CHANGE! The election was between me and Sluagh, but the ILP couldn't bare to see Sluagh take power because of ancient vendettas held by the Leadership Committee and couldn't see me take power because I actually propose radical Left policy which their party has failed to deliver for years. Unless Rikian can publish a detailed article by tomorrow outlining how he is going to accomplish what he proposes, then I am going to say this is an undemocratic election - rigged by the top 2 parties in eIreland against the revolutionary forces seeking to create an alternative.
eIreland - on election day I implore you to vote for either me or Sluagh. Create a mass party thread with details who is signficantly leading the race and VOTE FOR THEM. I am running on a radical far-left platform, Sluagh on a center-left one. I would gladly concede victory to more moderate leftists than the two largest hegemonic parties who are guided by conservative leadership. The eIrish Revolution must not crumble under the weight of the ILP and their puppet candidates, it must RISE to the occasion and seize this moment to truly witness real change in eIreland.
Vote Cat Boyd or Sluagh on election day. Vote for candidates who have, for weeks and months now, proven to be dedicated, active, and visionary players who offer eIreland an alternative to what we've had the past few months. Don't simply vote for whomever your party is endorsing, especially if you are IFP/ILP, vote with your heart which I know desires something different than what we've been given.
Hail the eIrish Revolution!
Glóir don réabhlóid na hÉireann !!

While our ideologies might differ, for what it's worth, I think you would make a very good leader.
If not, at least a very valuable ally.
Best of luck in the elections.

did sluah proposed you a responasbility if he's elected?
my vote.
I may take a small role in his administration, in the summer I will plan on seeking to become a Minister of Community which I believe should extend its power to immigration, recruitment, nurturing & guiding new players, creating public spaces for social interaction (like eIrish Radio for example), among other areas which I think the MoC has often lacked.
I may run for CP again in June or July. I have a comprehensive plan for democratizing eIreland and eventually abolishing our need for a Dictator so we can return to our old political module - coupled with the Dublin Commune.
Best of luck comrade

your answer is in your article. it would have been a vote between the 2 of you yet now they introduce another establishment candidate to win by default as they know some people will vote for you and some will vote for sluagh and they can then just count on party stalwarts to win. it will help neither of u to pull out mid elections as people will even vote for you if you ask them not to.
after a month of dictatorship we could always investigate other ideas. you should consider pulling your candidacy so that players can unite behind 1 candidate. currently i think sluagh would pip you to the post 1 on 1 and none of you would win splitting the vote against an establishment candidate.
