Failure, personified.

Voted.

And John Jay, Queen of Treasonous Troll's and all around hater validates me 100%

All valid points. Everyone wants their plan and no other plan is as good. Well there has to be some areas of compromise.

jj certainly is a queen.

Haha, this coming from a theocrat who knows next to nothing about being an MoD.

Treasonous? I think advocating a mass exodus from the army is unbecoming of someone in your position. Thankfully you won't be holding it that long. Good thing too, because you have effed up a lot. 🙂

Meh

You are a joke JJ. Please enlighten us on what you did in your 11 days as MoD...

The Battle Orders and updates from the MoD Newspaper were great, oh wait...

Organizing with the CoS on IDF reforms went well, oh wait...

Go away JJ, you are truly useless.

Now the eUS are out of EDEN eIreland, eUS, eCanada and eAus - Super friends combination anyone?

agreed, let's take a step back and start playing this game called erepublik

@Pip--That sounds like a great idea to me 😃

rofl

I was in daily contact with both the president and gleb, the CoS. I completed every task assigned to me.

On the other hand Useless, you seem to live up to your name well.

"This from a Theocrat"

Yes I was a part of the most elite Army in the game, thanks JJ. I'm quite proud of that.

"Knows next to nothing about being a MoD"

Yep, and I've fooled three president's now.Let's see, I resigned, was gone for a week, and in that time you didn't even log onto the orders API, update anything or do anything. Hey, can I peek at your strategy guide JJ, or did Digits take it with him when he left?

"advocating a mass exodus from the army"

I did nothing of the sort. I left when you were placed in command because I believe you are an enemy of the state. Many others made the same choice when you were placed in command.

But that is all in the past. What DID you do for 11 days as Co-Mod JJ? Cuz not a single thing appears to have been touched...

Teach me oh wise and great one! I've always said you were the smartest guy in the room.

Where'd you hide the "Awesome Army Button?"

Hey! Maybe it's behind your bruised ego?

I like how a rant about how we need to change our ways still leads to fighting amongst ourselves. 😛

Man we are awesome.

l like dinosaurs 🙂

"Why I'm not running for congress or taking cabinet positions... for a while"

Why are you MoD then?... Just seems like a contradiction.

Lol Vyse
<3 eIreland

ROAR!

♥
The Princess is gonna take a break too, DT. Too much this month.

Actually, I wasn't in the MoD position and I did more than you while you "completed every task assigned to you". What were those tasks? Nobody can pointe to one single thing you actually did, including yourself. In contact with Dubh... very productive indeed. 😉

Here is a portion of what I have done in the Press:

I have also been chatting around our allies and helping to grow those relations for Ireland. If there is any question of this, please contact cofi41 a strong Croatian ally.

Get the **** on, JJ!

Hmmm....Not sure about your choice.
Anyway, Ive nothing to say on Dish, only that I welcome him.

I was also involved and in fact promoted a Croatian MPP. So let me get this straight, because you write pretty fluff articles what you do is more important than anyone else? Ha.

Doing your job is doing your job...get over yourself.

Ah Vyse, there is some bait we just can't pass up. 😛

*irony not lost on me*

Doing my job? None of that was 'my job' to do, I just did it. I am over myself, I responded to you questioning my usefulness. I also never said anything I did was more important than anyone else. I stated I did more than you, which is fact.

I don't remember seeing you anywhere in the discussions for MPP with Croatia in the Private Dáil. I'd like to hear how you think you were involved and promoting it?

Other than the treason he's associated with, I know nothing of JJ. However, the comments here don't really help his image, and I take personal offense to the labeling of DT as a "Theo" as if it's a negative mark.

Some of eIreland's most capable and devout warriors are current or former Theocrats, myself included - though I'm certainly not the most capable, or likely the most devout. The point remains.

And DT, I agree. I pondered running for Congress and failing like I normally would, but really...no point. I'm not deep enough in the rivalries, and I don't enjoy politics anymore. I'm a warrior, and I'll stick to what I know.

okay okay....round one is over gentlemen, go to your corners.... 😃

Rounds? Looks to me like JJ's on the floor right now with little hope of standing before the count.

As for your article, I do believe that we could use a simpler system. However, Dishmcds is an idiot. I have never seen him do or say anything that was even remotely intelligent, and it reflects poorly to think he has any merit.

We are a small country. We have a small population. These are facts that we can't avoid. We could try a massive recruitment drive, but that could only bring us up to average at best. As a result, aggressive military endeavors are not our strong suit.

If we completely abolish our system that we've established, then what's left? We wipe out a large chunk of our community, and destroy a large part of what makes eIreland unique. Without it, we're like everyone else... only smaller.

So while I support radical change to our system, and great simplification, I am against total abolition. (And this statement comes with great difficulty for me, being that I see myself as an anarchist)

Ghoti,

Perhaps I've sent a mixed message... I think all the old scraggly "oligarchy" like myself and all the other usual suspects who seem to rotate through the gov should take a month off and let the younger players have a crack... I for one will be doing so (though I doubt too many will).

I'm NOT saying invite the big bad wolf into bed 😉

But for the near eight months I've been around it's been the same old faces, the same old arguments with few (not none) exceptions.

Time for the deputies to be the primaries and some fresh blood to flow through Eires vein's, not foreign blood.

I support this argument, though recently just took three months off myself from congress and two and some from Ministerial work. I needed the breather, wanted to travel, and had some RL to attend to. I'm standing again now because my perspective is a very different one than when I stood before and because, I hope, I might be able to help quell the in-fighting.

I hope.

Very entertaining as usual! For experienced players to be willing to back off for a bit and allow some "new blood in" tells me their egos are less important than their love of Ireland.

Heliconpac is right... lol and trollin' at yur leisure is not (hum... JJ?).

also noticed irony, and am currently wondering when round II starts?

I also beleive Congress has become a Dynastic position, heck that is why I am fielding three New Citiznes for Congress instead of running again myself.

John Jay... go on?

very well put DT
I wouldnt have said it better

My God. How many articles do I have to write. :/

jj = fag

I agree about letting the new blood come forward by taking a break, I'm not running for congress again, but I sometimes think even if I dont those elected in my place will have little contributions to make 🙁

That was an awful short rant. Great whingind from JJ though

Dishmcds: My God. How many articles do I have to write. :/

Let's start with 0 and go from there.

yeah, what Ghoti said, cos don't for one minute think that anyone gives a s*** about what you wrte Dish. Yeah yeah, u r a beta, u did "loadsa stuff", but hey, we all have...and your role here is one of comedy gold, no more, no less.
Though I doubt your ego would allow you to see that ofc 😉

JJ, how exactly were you involved in the Croatian MPP? I have not seen anywhere that you "promoted" it.

The fact is this JJ, you are a vastly experienced player and you have probably done what you thought was best in Ireland. However, if you "promote" the idea that people should fight against us, then you can hardly expect anyone to just let you away with it. People here would more than likely forgive you if you came out with a genuine apology but your reaction has been to dig as bigger hole for yourself. So keep digging, or apologise to the people of this country. I for one would wipe the slate clean entirely if that happened.

Ghoti: I think the fact that more than enough people listen to me outside of your narrow viewpoint, including quite a few in Ireland (considering you might not like my tone, but I'm dead on accurate in assessing the situation), I'd say you can get over your butthurt and fix your problems.

I'll quit writing articles when you actually do something, or perhaps that wasn't clear enough by the fact that I actually got Irish citizenship?

Yeah, and a personal FU to The Dagda for that.

ROAR!

Ha, that's a laugh. 'Got' Irish citizenship. You got your citizenship from an exploited link sent via PM from an org that instantly forced The Dagda into giving you citizenship. While I do not have any evidence that you were behind it, I would not doubt it. I hope the owners of the org are properly banned, and you go back where you came from you worthless cheat.

Just because you have an entourage of eBrit PHX troll cronies to vote up your articles doesn't make what you write have any content to it. I stand by my statement that you're an idiot. You'd think that losing a war would give someone a bit of humility, but it seems to have only inflated your ridiculous ego.

You'd be surprised how many of your own country men agree with me, although I'd offer that you're too ignorant to at least look beyond the tone to begin with.

Also, being invaded by 6 countries, and still existing after the dust settled isn't a loss. If you were older than 10 you'd understand that.

You were invaded by 6 countries, and with the help of 14 countries only survived because you were deemed a worthless waste of time and resources. Your territories were returned diplomatically without a fight. I love your warped sense of reality. Perhaps you are 10 and are attacking my assumed age so that you can take eyes off yourself?

And yes, I would be surprised to find a single one of my countrymen that thought you were marginally intelligent. And I'm sure you could find me one or two that haven't already defected to your country, but the vast majority of the eIrish don't care for you.

Anyway, I think we've trolled Donovan's article quite enough. You can continue your shameless trolling as you're apt to do, but I will not be continuing this conversation in this article.

Yeah ok, I'll apologize.

I apologize that the Savage administration lied through it's teeth to start a war we couldn't win ON OUR BEST DAY. Oh, and not to mention making us look like a bunch of effin amateurs on the world stage. Many apologies for that.

And I sincerely apologize for having all of the right wing jump on me when opposition was voiced.

I apologize for people like DT bringing RL into a game, and letting his pettiness and ego get to me.

This isn't a country, it's a bunch of cliques.

I will not ever apologize for expressing my free speech.

Good day.

😁
Self immolation in 3...2...1...

RL? WTF are you talking about?

You know what you said dude...don't try to play.

Either that or you have the shortest memory in the history of man.

You mean in IRC? I thought we settled that nonsense. What's in here is a game. I don't bring RL into a game man. Ever.

Dude when are you going to wake up and realize IRC is where most of this game happens? Do you not notice the political conversations that happen there all the time? I mean I know you are in a select group of people who assume you are above reproach, but seriously man, get your head right.

AFAIK, nothing was settled. You said what you said and continued trolling. Whenever you feel like you can hump that massive ego of yours over to IRC I'll be waiting to settle this.

/me hands out mogadon
obvious it's required, especially for the "foreigners"

Nice one DT, you always have a knack for smoking out the vitriol spouters, and the RL confusion topic. Really, it kills me stone dead 😃
lm*ao, again.
Comedy channel, I love it!
