[Conway] Irish Crumble
Sean MacDiarmata
Oh Ireland,
Its been over a month since we last spoke and you now find me writing this from my new residence in the United Kingdom. I left eIreland as I had become tired of what it had become and how it was run. Throughout Irish history there has always been a call for “Unity”. This is something that is near impossible to come by in any state, Irelands problem is that in such a small community, your opposition is always in your face. Unity did come about between two of the most influential groups in Ireland, Eire Aonair and Independent Labour Party. Their co-operation and what soon became bully-boy tactics led to the manipulation of new players minds that the Irish Citizen Army and The Labour Party were toxic to Irish society. This group of Irish players who were now labelled as “scum” had once been the rulers of Ireland, introduced great social change and saw the creation of great things. In what was the greatest ICA era, we held the Presidential seat for months on end, we were the richest nation per head of population and we punched well above our weight. The ILP was always just behind us, they always battled hard for Presidency but were unfortunate not to win, until they struck the gold mine and had a President candidate elected.
Since this happened I don’t believe any of us so called “scum” have been elected. However I ask you this question now, since we have not had a major foothold in Irish politics,
How many times has Ireland been robbed?
How many times has Ireland been wiped?
How many times has Ireland been split over alliances?
Ireland you may think is a democratic and open state but it really has become dictated by the two most prominent parties EA and the ILP. Population has fallen, everyones interest has shrinked and little to no progress is being made. The complete contrast to the success we saw under the ICA and The Labour Party leadership.
Until Ireland wakes up and realises that their happy utopia of a united community has led to its crumbling as a nation I will sit quite happily in the United Kingdom where divisions in community lead to a better game experience and a healthier nation.
Enjoy being oblivious to what a nation you have become,
Go raibh maith agat.
MrConway.

Sadly with the way the parties in Ireland act towards the most important role in the country we will never progress.
Even though I'm British and thus my opinion being irrelevant to silly twerps, I agree with this article.
I agree that you should agree 😛
I agree to what you agree to whom you agreed too.
Thus whine Suridius, who stole millions from the Irish State, who ran for president on innumerable times, and finished 4th or 5th depending on the election. Who now resides with our greatest enemy and writes Lord Haw Haw articles.
A failure of a citizen, a failure as a patriot, a waster as a player, and a traitor to his country.
As much as I respect you, D&T, but you have kinda also abandoned Ireland in favour of being in another country. Ireland arguably needs better leadership, which is the purpose of this article. Even if he is a "failure of a citizen, a failure as a patriot" etc. it doesn't make at least some of his points any less valid.
You and I respect each other Thomas, and that will not change. It's true I have been to India and Netherlands, but both countries have always had friendly relations with Ireland. You cannot expect to be a balanced player in eRepublik without experiencing other countries, and that must include 'the other side'. I don't have an issue with Chewie and Conway being in the UK, but I have a big issue with them using a sock puppet, and a puppet that has stolen from our country, to mouthpiece their bitterness. If they want to resolve issues and have such a high opinion of themselves, as it appears they do from the propaganda with this article, then let them come back home and make their case to the citizens.
But we all know the answer to that, they're unelectable
@DT Marcus was only person online who would publish for me so I asked him to publish. Forget he has anything to do with this article.....
Resolve issues? Read the article. My views everyone was oblivious to as Ireland is a united utopia where the "opposition" is "scum" and shall be ignored/attacked.
Eh, when did I even try to hold a political conversation with the eIrish after taking a leave?
Going to Britain for them is no different to going to India and NL to you. they had envisioned an end to the permanent war between the UK and Ireland, only for it to start back up during MUFC's most recent terms. He could've got Boru to post it, I suppose but still. As far as I can see, Ireland has no future with the collective leadership of the country right now, with both the major alliances currently unamused with the most recent options by the leadership. Ireland will have to go one way or another. There is no and never will be a successful middle ground. The MUFC administrations and puppets (whatever they're called) has caused the war and now they wish to end it with continuous streams of ridiculous requests. The longer they pander around, the longer Ireland will be wiped.
I am slightly biased against EA and ILP because from a foreign perspective, they have done a fantastic job of ruining Ireland's credibility. I no longer respect Ireland as a nation given a year of - unstable - peace was reversed by the whim of a single man who claimed that "Ireland will never be wiped", "we will keep on fighting" etc. All I'm asking is that reason is seen so that Ireland can actually come out of this mess stronger. Right now, it appears there is no direction, there is no activity and thankfully no morale - which amuses me because everyone was "yay war" when it started.
Oh look, the whole CUA+I was a complete fiasco, even on geographical grounds, let alone that it included Argentina....who are going to join TWO, no? Good luck with that....
It is a bitter pill that the nations closest in terms of perspective, humour, loyalty and fun, yes, that's us, Britain and Ireland, are incapable of coming to terms that we both need each other.
But before we look at the faults of Ireland shall we not look at the faults of eUK. What we have most in common is our internal divisions
LOL I stole nothing, I ran for CP three times. I won once, came second and was brought in via impeachment of JC due to his near wipe of Ireland. The third time I ran was against IB which I finished second, not surprising as IB is a better CP than me and people knew it.
I reside where? Ireland isn't our enemy you clown. At least I stayed here and didn't run over us leaving EDEN.
Oh sorry Lord Haw Haw. You didn't write the article? Did you get Goebbels to write it for you? Can we at least not hear your opinion or are you just a mouthpiece and a liar? You've run for CP many, many times, you've just given up because no-one like a thief
No I didn't write it, [17:19] marcus
[17:19] can you publish an article for me?
Lol check the game logs man, I ran three times. Padraig nominated me a few times but I wasn't running.
When I run the country knows it, I don't release these piss poor manifestos saying ill unite the country this that and other bullshit.
See my comment below:
"The political wars in the eUK aren't healthy but they have produced a lot of activity and spirit, which is great. We have our fights but we have political direction when a big war comes - we were united when we battled in Azores. Ireland is divided when wiped. There is a massive difference in attitude."
To further analyse this. Opposition clashing with the other opposition in the eUK = activity. Opposition x opposition in Ireland = stagnation. Our internal divisions set the mark for our CP candidates, whereas here, the most incompetent fools can be elected with no repercussions.
When BA was screwing up the TW's between Ireland and Canada including your super duper invasion of the Azores I think you'll find we were a *lot* more understanding, mainly because we, more than anyone else, can understand leaders that make idiot decisions.
Time for you to return the favour
The difference is Big Ant didn't declare war on Ireland. MUFC has and your congress agreed to it.
Yeah, the correct thing there would have been to stay neutral but weight in 100% behind Argentina. So you are right, major fail. I won't mention the other BA Colemanballs because what is the point? Surely the issue now is to reach a compromise based on the fact that eUK cannot afford to be tied down with an Irish conflict when the next world war breaks out.
You need a permanent peace as much as Ireland does
Then I don't understand why there's pandering around regarding peace. :? I was told that Acroc and Ireland's CP were meant to be meeting about peace 6 days ago. Acroc would've presented something to congress by now if something had came up which it hasn't.
Well, I've been out of Ireland for 6 months now. I have no idea who sir adriano prette is. Acroc seems a pretty good guy so I guess that means that the issue is on our side. I guess they are trying to complicate it with a region swap which is dumbass in my opinion. Just go back to the original regions and get a modest compensation sum for us acting like muppets and get over it. There's more important things about to happen
We came to a conclusion on peace and acroc should have submitted it to your congress on Sunday or monday?
Why can't we be divided like the Brits? Twitty, you're a fcking genius.
>Ireland is wiped
>UK is occupying Ireland
>UK has an alliance
>Ireland has no alliance
>UK has had strong leaders
>Ireland has had poor leaders
Emigrates because of disenchantment with the political status quo. Writes article decrying lack of opposition.
Tbf James we lost dozens of good players to Canada over the way Ireland was being run back in the day, there is nothing wrong with leaving and releasing the odd article here asking for Ireland to be improved.
A good few of your friends did it, I went with them when they left. Still released articles in Ireland cause thats where my heart laid.
James, I think you'll find emigration because of the status quo is a very Irish thing to do indeed.
It is true that party politics are destroying the country, but I don't agree the flaming nor the glorification of a past era that wasn't so glorious.
Oh Damhnaic, it was very very glorious.
When I started on this I was on the opposite side of ICA and Labour and was seeing all the RL Irish lads in it thinking to myself, how the fook did I not start with them legends.
esp. OJs term was a glorious one..... oh wait
Why this british, this enemy and ocupator of Ireland thinks he has any right to lecture irish people how to handle things?
Keep your nose in Britain Conway.......and let true irish to do thing in irish way.
You betrayed this country and crossed over to the enemy......do as all a favour and call all your labour (orc) friends to return to their real home...Britain.
Coz with all this scams, thefts and treasons your gang has done it's clear you are nothing more but british agents......
When your leader ibhoy sold Dublin to your brits it must have been a highlight of your mission....
true irish? LMAO.....why don't you go back to croatia together with your buddy mufc? Don't forget, little preacher boy, you're a thief too, you stole a whole MU.
No..i saved the last true Libertad unit from the rest of you who betrayed your own ideals and backstabbed those who tried to uphold them.
But when i take control over this fake irish Libertad...that will be a steal and will be proud of it.
By the way unlike you i didn't escape from ireland like a coward.
And you siding with unts only proves my words of Libertard being international moral filth....
"Libertard only liberate small countries"
-Like when your Cyprus libertad invaded Egypt alredy occupied.
"Libertad do not mix in country inner politics"
-Like when you refused to help Saudi Arabia coz you didn't liked who is on power there
"In Libertad all have a saying and propose a fight"
-Like when all fight are already decided by Libertad "elite"
"In Libertad we all decide together"
-Unless commander of irish libertad actually let members of his unit to make decisions about their unit...then commander gets backstabbed by those he founded his friends
"Libertad was against my support of free Dublin coz it would brake a treaty"
-And few months later you broke the same treaty by trying to liberate Louth...also part of a treaty...a better treaty that gave us Dublin back.
"In Libertad we are all friends and we all respect each other"
-Like when moo out of nowhere attack me in Libertad mas mail coz of my support of free Dublin.
-Like when you Daghda joined this ambush even you claimed few hours before all is well.
-Like when Cataneda acted like you Daghda.
You ae spinless coward Daghda...had no guts to actualy talk to me but instead tried this failed mass ambush.
A moral filth who support kunts who talk about better Ireland by praising irish worst enemy.and even while having british cz.
Yes...MUFC is more irish and all of you togehter.
are you butthurt, because i live in an eCountry which can't be taken over by croatians (the likes of you and MUFC) like your fellow country men did( and still do---> eIndia) with so many other eCountries? hehehehe 😛
You sucked up to MUFC, a multie,thief and cheater and you're a thief yourself.eIreland will do better without you and your kind xdxd
Victor the true eIrish patriot..... oh wait 14TP, 15MM tell us a different story.
Wouldn't wipe my a*rse with toilet paper where your "word" is written on
simply publish an article with the mass PM and let people know how deranged you are, little preacher toy..... sorry boy, i meant xdxd
Well i wiped you out of ireland.....made you hide in this little vomit of a country.
Who would wanna takeover it....don't wanna touch it even with a stick.
The Word scared the crap out of you...backstabber.
And you with the rest of Libertards are the one who suck up to Ibhoy and his kunts...
Clearly you got a cut from all this theft.
MUFC follows The Word and therefore he is guided by Heavens....a fact..not suck up.
And i noticed you failed to dispute any of my fact about Libertard hypocracy and lies.
My TP and MM are earned in honest way..not by using stolen money you got from kunts.
Besides that i fight in this game with methods and ways that goes outside this games...where you your virtual strenght is powerless against mine...
Moral filth..still trying to fight The Word..pathetic...
"Besides that i fight in this game with methods and ways that goes outside this games..."
same method like mufc, i guess. Multies and cheats. xdxd
Yes i get money and fortum few times a month like every eCypriot, because we share our wealth within our community and ofc we get a lot of donations, starting with personal donations (Rejep Dectash , Depici ....) and not to forget the generous donations from our serbian orthodox brothers xdxd
I agree and disagree with points in this article.
You're right on with all the hypocritical cries for "unity", only to see the same person posturing for power at the expense of "unity". My biggest frustration with this country is in watching the same culprits, time and time again, putting medals, pride and egos above the greater good by seeking power, then ignoring those very principles that could unite Ireland.
Where I disagree is that Ireland does NEED to unify. A country this size simply cannot accomplish anything when Group A is constantly bickering with Group B, which, in turn, is disillusioning to Group C. It's certainly not realistic for us all to "get along" or agree on everything, but it would be better for the whole if the arguing could be done in private and everyone did their patriotic duty and fought as hard for their competitor as they would their own personal glory.
Of course a unified state is perfect. But we are not and never will be unified. We will always have differences. What my argument is is that the oppositions view has been silenced for the sake of power and as of who they are.
I definitely see where you are coming from, but how do you know Ireland can't be unified, especially when nobody has really even been trying?
I'm not well known here and I've only been here since September 2012. Originally, I came from the USA, a much larger country with even more divisions. I still think back to WWIII, though, when we were wiped down to one state...it was incredibly demoralizing. The difference was; we all fought and worked together and made a speedy recovery, even growing stronger after the fact. Of course, the USA went right back to their bickering, but when it mattered, they unified...the same can happen here.
In short, my point is this: It can be done. It's just going to take people who actually want to make it happen. For now, the country (as a majority) doesn't really seem to want the unity they keep calling for, because they keep electing the same people that only use the cry for unity as a way to increase their own personal power.
Ireland can't be unified in any but one circumstance because the very concept of unification destroys something that we Irish feel is sacre😛 Our right to disagree. The only way the country is ever united is essentially when the only people disagreeing are morons with a serious lack of grasp on reality. It's only really happened once or twice as well.
Fact of the matter is that the current problems are the result of political, economic and military weakness on our part. The achievements of our little revolution have been diluted massively. This isn't only our own fault, game mechanics changes have done much to screw things over. We need to reorganise ourselves on a fundamental level yet again. We don't need unity so much as a civil debate in the political arena. That is hard to have when some people put the country at massive risk.
The US example and the France example are both ones we need to take heed of. The US has a horrific and elitist political system, which is practically opposite to the much more fluid system we have here, and is very much akin to what we had before January 2011. The French on the other hand have shown systemic weakness in diplomacy, despite having a larger population and greater strategic position. It is a testament to our efforts that Ireland was better equpped for invasion in terms of allies than France ever was.
You're right about people using unity as a political rallying call though.
young money cash money
The political wars in the eUK aren't healthy but they have produced a lot of activity and spirit, which is great. We have our fights but we have political direction when a big war comes - we were united when we battled in Azores. Ireland is divided when wiped. There is a massive difference in attitude.
No, you have a very small window to Irish politics. Being wiped doesn't cause division in Ireland, having no prominent external enemy causes division in Ireland - UK got rather huffy about Argentina's one night stand, but the war was amiable as far as the Irish population was concerned. In constant to when the UK, in pic under Jamesw, expressed a desire to remove eIreland from the map indefinitely (more achievable at the time with game mech) while citing the whole colonialism thing - that paved the way for a united military force including the majority of the characters in this little song and dance as there was a very clear external enemy. You're wrong, but could appear like that to an outsider. Ireland rips itself apart when it doesn't have anyone to fight - only a few UK politicians cottoned on to that,
I couldn't without seeming like a bigot tell you about UK's attitude to being wiped, but best guess is that UK was more role playing/faggy until it got wiped and learnt its a game.
>to elaborate on "not having anyone to fight" - being wiped by an enemy the population doesn't hold strong feelings against constitutes as lacking a worthy enemy. But that may change - if Ireland stays wiped long enough to build up resentment, when CoT-TWO finally go at it, I suspect that Irish government would have to show real constraint not to join the CoT and Asgard nations bordering the UK.
Your view on Irish attitude being wiped only holds true in the short term, when the enemy isn't universally disliked.
Comment deleted
UK was becoming a growing ally. I have several friends here.
When our CP went "rogue" and broke this friendship I left to what were our friends who were being attacked by ourselves (we betrayed them) and Argentina (betrayed us).
Its true we were good friends till MUFC had a brain fart and ILP and EA backed his war.
Also Mike you were one who supported him so pipe down mate.
I didn't support MUFC, my party did. Also, I don't know why this comment is deleted...
