[GLD] PP elections and statement regarding recent events
•
by GLD HQ
Dear all,
First of all, thank you for supporting me once more as your party-president. I am honoured that I've been given this chance for the 5th time now. The coming month will be symbolized by an increased activity on the political field, as I believe eUNL-party politics is slowly dieing. The installation of CP government has taken a way a great deal of political rivalry, and although it's good to all get along nicely, it is on the contrary very disturbing that there has been so little debate lately. The lack of debate indicates, at least in my opinion, that not a lot of people are thinking about innovations, or at least they're not making them public anymore. However, my dear colleague Shakerr released a promising article right after his election as PP of the LSD-party (congrats btw), and the WP also seems to become more and more alive, so let's hope we can all contribute to a renewed level of activity in the political arena in the coming weeks.
Now that we're talking party-politics anyway; it has come to my attention that our fellow GLD'er Frerk is stirring some controversy lately and I have been asked by other members to comment on this. Frerk has been elected secretary-general of PHX recently and it seems that he, in that capacity, has made some statements that go against the official position of our party. More specific, I've been told that our former member Der Sterling has been accused of spying by Frerk, while this is not true according to our president. With Auggy's permision, I can quote him on this one: 'I asked Frerk before he was made deputy of FA if was alright since he had some american friends [...] He said no problem, and that he trusted herr sterling because he knew him'. Personally I don't know anything about this, but I think I can speak for all GLD-members that it is rather awkward when one member accuses the other one of spying, while it isn't even clear if that really is the case (and doing so in public even).
Besides that, there also seem to be lively, public "debates" (or should I say bar-brawls) on IRC and in article-comments, for example about the question what MPP the eUNL should engage in. Also, Frerk has stated in the public eUNL channel that our MoF (with whom I work very pleasantly together @ Finances) should be 'impeached' or 'forced out' if he doesn't allow 100 gold to be spend on a MPP and that our country could be PTO'ed by some dude named Antonio 'if needed' (it may be joking, but some jokes just don't work in a certain context).
Frerk is being used as an example now, and some statements might be just half-serious, but this really applies for everyone: remind yourself what you are loyal to! A party, a country.... We, as a party, take a position in the debates. And if we haven't done so, everyone is supposed to check with his party-members before making statement we cannot endorse as a party. I do not care whether someone is SG, minister, president or the new messiah: DO NOT go against party-policy! There is, ofcourse, a certain freedom, but I believe everyone is capable of knowing where that freedom begins, and ends. If you're on a power-trip, if you feel your party cannot give you the support you need, if you think you're bigger or better than your fellow party-members, or if you just don't care what others think about you, then quit that party so you can have the freedom to state whatever you want to state (and however dubious it may be). A party, and GLD specifically, is created to achieve common goals; it's not a tool for people to work on their own agenda.
Myself and a large group of others within the party have been in GLD since the beginning. We value the freedom the party can give its members, but we value our ideological integrity even more (as well as openness, but I suppose this article kind of gives that away!). Let this be a reminder that freedom comes with responsibility. And also, that whatever someone may have achieved, he or she has achieved it not only because of his qualities, but also because of the trust that others put in him.
Some of you might it awkward I am throwing this all out in the open, but in some way I am just returning the favour I suppose. GLD values the cooperation and friendship it has with other parties and individuals, and it should be absolutely clear that there is no room for individuals doing precisely the opposite. I have been asked to release a statement in order to distance our party from certain events, and that's what I have done. Too bad it was needed in the first place.

Voted 🙂 Congrats and I agree.
Voted. Thank you for clarifying this situation. Earlier I told Frerk that he should have came to me and talked to me first instead of going around putting that out because I am loyal and did not leak anything. Best wishes to GLD and to the eNL!
"Also, Frerk has stated in the public eUNL channel that our MoF (with whom I work very pleasantly together @ Finances) should be 'impeached' or 'forced out' if he doesn't allow 100 gold to be spend on a MPP and that our country could be PTO'ed by some dude named Antonio 'if needed' (it may be joking, but some jokes just don't work in a certain context)."
What is this; this was Antiko saying what could happen if he forced against, and then stated he wasn't going to do that should the proposal be accepted.
Also; Antonio is now playing on the account 'Jazar', you might've noticed him going for Polish presidency and gaining like 5 votes 😃
Also I'm not going to comment on the Sterling affair, because while I can talk to Sterling about it(as he had access) I don't think I should be talking about our closed/secret channels in detail in a newspaper comment.
P.S.
I'm sorry if I offended anybody(excluding Antonio) with the joke.
im not following this at all, who is Antonio? lol
@Pander: "The installation of CP government has taken a way a great deal of political rivalry, and although it's good to all get along nicely, it is on the contrary very disturbing that there has been so little debate lately.

The tendens is, and i do notice that with myself is that i won't put any proposals into congress (talking about innovations) because it would not pass congress anyways, under current situations with CP government. There is also not much cooperation, everybody seems to work on his own "island", it seems that everybody get along so nicely, but underneath there is a lot of irritation. I myself was very dissapointing in GLD and LP some time ago, with the proposal in congress about change of constitution/congress rules. I thought i had the support of both parties, and even ask the PP of those parties if they would support this proposal and even gave the change to change anything in the proposal itself, but when it came to vote majority of these parties voted against it. Just an example how parties can become just a collection of "individuals" in this current system of CP government.
Antonio Salgado = the guy who received Jazar's account when Jazar quit erepublik. He tried to run for Polish Presidency(to PTO the country) last month.
You had the option to PM me... I'm not sure if you ever thought of that, or not.

Sterling: If you were the leak we would've screwed up pretty badly, no? The deputies were already removed by Donnie because he thought it was too much to maintain; so we just disregarded it. I had no idea Konrad(nearly a week later..) resurrected the issue.
@Frerk
"Sterling: If you were the leak we would've screwed up pretty badly, no? The deputies were already removed by Donnie because he thought it was too much to maintain; so we just disregarded it. I had no idea Konrad(nearly a week later..) resurrected the issue."
That is BS and you know it. Sterling only have IHS access for only a few hours before you decided that vice/SS/ deputy ministers do not have access. I worked with Sterling and we did not deal with sensitive info. If restructuring NL MoFA is the topic leaked, then it maybe an issue, but PHX leak is totally BS. I do not know what is your problem with Sterling but it is just nonsense. He never have the data in the first place.
IDK what you are talking about one week later, but Sterling and I have a problem with your witch hunt. You blame recent problems at Sterling with no evidence what so ever, but only your personal assumption. You never talk to him to address the issue first but in front of everyone, blame him and him alone for all recent problems and failures. That is not proper leadership and discourse in any gov position.
"Sterling: If you were the leak we would've screwed up pretty badly, no? The deputies were already removed by Donnie because he thought it was too much to maintain; so we just disregarded it. I had no idea Konrad(nearly a week later..) resurrected the issue."
As you said "if you were..."
Konrad didn't resurrect the issue; not with you still discussing it and pointing fingers. You never bothered to talk to anyone about it either. Instead, you just go around telling people whatever you want.
This is why nothing ever leaves #ihs, you have no idea what's going on except for what I told you in the 2 minute discussion we had or what you got from #ihs
When the leak first was there I protected Sterling, like Auggy said.
I had multiple people from HQ telling me they didn't trust Sterling and Puppetmaster. As I recall Sterling got purged because Donnie was sick of the CP's changing governments every minute every day, and Puppet-master is still in it.
when he left to the eUS for "private reasons" he didn't want to share we(yes, WE) did not find that very logical.
If you leak discussions about PHX integrity next time, please do so when you have facts, and not thoughts, about what happened.
I like how ignorant you are. I haven't leaked anything. Did you ever ask ME why I went back to the eUS? No? Oh! What a surprise! Who would've thought... but just go ahead and keep showing your ignorance. Not once have you came to me and asked if I did anything, why I went back to the eUS or anything and if you remember right, I was very willing to talk to PHX leaders.
