A letter left in Áras an Uachtaráin
Donovan Thomas
Below is the letter placed within Áras an Uachtaráin by myself with the questions sent to Digits for the Presidents "Leader's Questions". I await his answers.
________________________________________
Mr. President,
Submitted for your consideration; contained within is a list of five questions that I have submitted to Digits (AKA 05637716) as per your requirement for communication to the Commander in Chief from the citizenry. As I am not able to attend your scheduled “Leader’s Questions” I hope you will forgive my absence and consider my questions worthy of answer.
If answering them via your cabinet release or in the Tal Order is undesired, please feel free to post a reply directly here (if it won’t clutter your abode too much) or in the comment section of Cork and Whine (please see my signature for a link).
[Questions follow signature.]

1. In the wake of Former President Starks' inactivity and your staunch campaign platform condemning his blatant dereliction of duty to the eIrish people how do you explain your own absence and lack of public announcement of said leave that would have saved me all this typing?
2. Can you be more specific as to your statement “I am monitoring the situation in South Africa” and what you have done to reach out to President Schumacher as a fellow Neutral currently experiencing an influx of American refugees? Also, what are your plans to keep eIreland from suffering the same fate?
3. Can you please address reports that a Q5 state weapon was used during recent war games and why that weapon was wasted and not held in reserve for the real world conflict with eTurkey? If this was not state sanctioned, will the weapon be replaced at no cost to the tax payer?
4. What is the status of recovering pilfered funds by the fugitive Lord Rhindon and will the President intervene to return the wrongfully dispensed Q5 House from the unqualified recipient?
5. Can you discuss plans to institute the Garda Síochána and will they be properly and monetarily supported? Further, will you support the intelligence service or continue to rely on the kindness of your people to provide you information on international dealings of a clear and present danger to eIreland?
Comments
Voted. If I had to pick one I'd like to see answered, it would be the first one.
As for the third, I'm now under the impession that was satire and didn't really happen. But the article and comments that it came from has people saying it's true and people saying it isn't true, so I have no idea. An clear answer would be nice here.
The fourth seems hopeless, PP has no ethics and there isn't much that can be done about it now. I would't expect much here.
Three really never happened.
I asked Garrett to include it in his article.
Even despite being labelled as satire several times,the lack of trust I have seen is,interesting.
Agree with Kpeso & Donovan,..from a SPUD point of view..... The Presidents role is a position that should be "cooking".....not been "cooked".
Satire is all well and good, but like sarcasam it doesn't translate well in writing without key clues. There were many mixed signals in Garrett's article and the comments about the article.
As for the lack of trust, do you really blame people? For us "noobs", we must question as to understand people and their motives and character. And the "veterans" have seen many they trusted screw up on accident and on purpose.
KPeso is right. Nobody expected LR to screw up so bad and I didnt remember anywhere in the article stating it was satire
TG,
If it matters to you, then earn my trust. Was a q5 weapon used in a wargame? Check yes or no. Based on your answer I'll retract the question.
I thought the title was enough to show it was satire,have a look at the article again,it's stated numerous times.
And DT,
No,there wasn't.
TG,
Thanks.
Though I did hand the Q5 gun back, as requested by TG during the wargame.
He was right to request it, I had offered it back when I resigned.
It was one of the tank weapons. We ran out of inventory space during provisioning. The rest of the detail is classified on that matter.
Anyway, I had held it temporarily.
It was requested back.
I gave it back immediately.
I asked for a receipt.
I got a receipt.
What happened after that is TopGuns affair.
If he said he didn't use it, then he didn't use it.
I'm good with that.
But a joke in IRC, leading to a satirical article from one of his own party, leading to a storm of confusion?
The fault in judgement is all his own.
A similar fault to the "Ultimatum on Poetry" joke.
It seems to me now that eIreland has lost it's sense of humour, Minister TopGun. I'd respectfully counsel that you take full account of that when you are speaking in public again.
I mean this in a totally respectful way. Kpeso has a point.
Tone and humour do not come across well in typetextprint.
I should know that myself, huh?
For everything I have written in my recent series of outrageous outbursts has been calmly considered, has evidence, and has a better solution in mind.
It seems that the Modus Operandi of the ISRP henchmen is to respond to all of that as though I am a hysterical, lying, overemotional, bullying, uninformed, female egotist, lacking in game-skill and contacts in the eWorld.
I can assure you I am not.
I am lacking in Presidential answers though. Still to this day.
Imagine that...
/dry and deadly off.
1. "how do you explain your own absence" - didn't he say he was out west?
"5. Can you discuss plans to institute the Garda Síochána and will they be properly and monetarily supported? Further, will you support the intelligence service or continue to rely on the kindness of your people to provide you information on international dealings of a clear and present danger to eIreland?"
What I miss?
@Sean
I have a RL too. This entire situation could have been saved via one paragraph in the Tal Order notifying the public of his absence and that TG would be acting CINC. I don't care that he was gone, I care about the manner we left.
On note 2, my opinion is yes. 😉
"It seems that the Modus Operandi of the ISRP henchmen is to respond to all of that as though I am a hysterical, lying, overemotional, bullying, uninformed, female egotist, lacking in game-skill and contacts in the eWorld."
No more mud.... it burns!!!!!!
Mudbaths are good for the skin Sean Power.
They draw out impurities, leaving one clean and refreshed.
Are you a self-confessed henchman?
Is the mud on your suit, congress?
No not a henchman on my understanding of the word, most likely on yours tho since I tend to disagree with you on certain issues. Disagreeing with you is a bad idea.... even when ur nasty🙁
