[CP] Temporarily Stepping Down
Monsieur Guillontine
People of Belgium,
I erred in my proposal for the new citizen welcome message. I did not intend to provide a link to the new forums, an act that could be construed as deeply divisional and against the best interests of the State. My frustration over this whole situation took me over, and I made a very rash decision. am sorry if this has caused any sort of disunity in Belgium, and I should have known better as I should be a role-model. I am therefore stepping down temporarily for a few days from my post as President, and my Vice President, jamster737, will become acting President. I do this in an attempt, to show my actions were a mistake, and hope that my temporarily stepping down will help to diffuse the situation. If after a few days it would be best for the State for me to resign, I will do so.
Yours Truly,
Monsieur Guillontine
President of Belgium

I don't think you should resign but your decision is sound and this will give jamster a chance to prove himself a capable President for a couple of days.
What about the wiki edits? Was it not intended to remove the link to the erepbelgium.com forum there too? Too many 'simple mistakes' to be credible.

FYI: VietDragon = MG
yes, i told you that VietDragon was my brother's account, but afterwards now I use his wiki account to edit the wiki. You are correct. now please stop. I am a 15 year old. I make mistakes. I am sorry.
You have issues Ward. Why don't you grow up and stop causing as many issues as you can? I believe this country would be much more stable if you moved somewhere like... eNorth Korea perhaps? It's sad how you're a 38 year old and you're cyberbullying a 15 year old.
RL age does not play here.
I must stop what? Being here? Playing? Do you consider my behaviour bullying? I tell you it's nothing more than politics, and I really try to play it clean.
I would very much like another CP so that maybe I can start to appreciate Monsieur Guillontine again for what he once was in my eyes: a playful, patriotic aristocrat.
Oh I didn't say you *must* do any of that. I made a suggestion of it.
Yes, I consider what you are doing to be bullying. It would not be bullying if you were not *always* going after a certain group. It's anytime you can, you seem to kick dirt in to the eyes of Monsieur Guillontine or BCP.
Perhaps I over reacted in my last post, and I'm sorry for that. I am just getting really irritated with the rudeness of about 85% of eBelgium.
You must finish your term, a president must be strong.
good luck.
Generally, bullying is done by a group to an individual. But here an individual would bully a group? Improbable. I must say I felt bullied too over the last weeks, and felt like I was only rightfully defending, since remaining silent would have been coward.
Anyway, let's all grow up a bit indeed, launch a good impeachment (or not), get this over and talk sense again.
And have real fun together again, building a strong Belgium: around the flag, the army and maybe the treasury. There are no credible alternatives in-game. Even if I would really love all people to be equal: we cannot assume it as a given, but have to work hard towards it, with a social system, legislation, justice and more exciting in- or out-of-the-game eRepublik experience.
To you MG, Prophexy, and all good-natured players: let's keep on contributing, in bad days and in good days.
Regards.
"RL age does not play here."
LOL
RL does not play here? Behind the screen we are all still humans of flesh and blood.
We are all human we all make mistakes for whatever reason.
RL does have to do with it
Fhaemita: I meant to say I don't discriminate on the basis of age, not in one way and not in the other. I respect young people too much to not take them seriously.
Ward, I am also 15 years old. Do you have no problems with me even though I thoroughly insulted your previous party?
when you want to be president, it's better to think about the responsabilites before. Sometimes we have bad days, but you can make good things too.
You made a mistake with a message? Then you can make another one and one right.
You are young, that's why i was worry before the elections, now time to prove you can manage a country but for the unity.
@Mikhail : no doubts for you 😛
you should stay MG. You basically did nothing wrong. You fought against the oppressive regime of our Forum admins on the eBE forum.
[removed]
And you need to step down because of one mystake? Great...
@RobertII can you respect please.
why eleynea? He's 100% correct. MG made a minor mistake and the wolves need to jump on him.
In my eye's if a president makes a mistake , and fixes it afterwards ... one can only say tip of the hat to you sir. If a president would have to step down for every mistake he made , there would be no democracy , it would just be nothingness. I think MG shouldn't step aside not even for a day. Unless he gets caught that he's visiting prostitutes with our countries money 😑
Hang in there Mr. G. It's always darkest before the dawn.
So much fuss for so little.
Don't give up.
MG came to power in a doubtful way (the immigration scandal);
he didn't achieve a thing that i can see (can you?);
he deliberately went to divide the community by pushing through a new forum (on the wiki, on the new citizen message 'thread' and on the official forum);
he gives up already;
he's unclear about his previous eRep character (his 'brother' was banned for multies);
he has only half a government left.
Having Jofroi as a CP would be a better choice for overall stability.
I stand by my previous comment even if I was penalized for it. I would say it again if I had to.
ward all this insulting propaganda and breaking the country for what changing jofroi to CP? then what ??????? its one term jofroi is good but not god
A minor mistake ?
If only he didn't told that on the unofficial forum before to act : "i will also sneakily add it into the citizen message / also will PM all people who i see on here: http://www.erepbelgium.com/memberlist"
If only he didn't use his brother's account (banned for multis) to delete the official forum link on the wiki page and let only the unofficial forum link...
If only bit.ly/eBeForum and bit.ly/BeForum was only a typo, and that it was pure coincidence that the 2 adress are very similar and link to the official and unofficial forum...
I would like people to stop thinking in terms of "sides", but to just react on what happened : is it something we can approve ? is this the way of democracy we want for eBelgium ?
I have nothing against MG but i can't approve his acts... 😕
How could we ?
Jamster: If he's better for Belgium, I'd rather have him. That's a political choice. I also try to maintain a hard line between 'insulting propaganda' and factual arguments, seriously.
am a newbie to this game, so dont want interfere myself in the current discussion, just want to say;
Ceasar say ones: "Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae"
thats a long time ago, question is how it went wrong...

i know you will not take this serious but i am going to try and resolve the problems in belgium why MG is away so please message me with what you think the problems are in belgium and i will post it in the forum on your behalf
We all do make mistakes guys. I made one just now for bothering to read the comments.
Grow up people, MG made a mistake, and shows he is sorry by stepping down.
It's ok to make mistakes but a cp must be strong and work hard to make these mistakes right.
Lol. its not about mistakes. its about playing complex games you dont understand with people whom have a different agenda to the one you are aware of - and p*****ing off the people who have tried to play straight.
Age is irrelevant.
Poor eBelgium.
Some say that MG posted somewhere that he's be back in business again now. However I can't find reference for this.
