Iron and Wine is by far the oldest party of them all and quite a few of our members are so old that they “have become part of the furniture.” Most have already proved themselves long ago when they used to be famous members of the Dutch community but I think most of the Netherlands has forgotten them.
Lets start off with some numbers;
Experience
Our 8 congress candidates have a total of 87 congress medals and 11 president medals.
Activity
Our 8 congress candidates have a total of 12375 posts on the national forum, 5 of them are daily on the IRC.
Community
Our 8 congress candidates have a total of 15 real life meeting medals.
Now it’s time for you to meet the congress candidates running for Iron and Wine;
1
Tim Veltkamp
Former president Tim Veltkamp lead Iron and Wine as PP for 2 terms and several terms as VP. He has also been in over 17 governments, of which most have been in the Ministry of Defence and Foreign Affairs. He is the trout slapper of our community and is active on both the forums and IRC.
2
odan
Mister Odan is another dinosaur that has been PP of Iron and Wine several times, he has a lot of experience as chairman of congress and knows really well how to find his way in the laws of the Netherlands. He is also one of the forums Global Moderators.
3
Garmr
Garmr is … well … Garmr is Garmr, he has been a strong president in the past and is quite well known in some parts of the international community. He is broadly experienced and really responsible when needed. To people who piss him off he might appear as a bully but he really is a nice guy when you get to know him

MaartenW
Well that’s me! I hope you remember the article I wrote just before my election as president a few terms ago. http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-maartenw-a-little-more-about-me-2336994/1/20
5
Heikanu
Heikanu is one of the admins that has been building the national forum from the ground up, he has been president and has experience on a broad range of subjects.
6
FikkieHo
FikkieHo has never tried to meddle with the politics before, he wants to see if he likes it but also acknowledges that he only irregularly visits the forums.
7
Marnix Maximus
Marnix has been really active in Dutch politics for a year and half and he has been congress member several times before. He also got experience with different government positions as he worked in MoD and MoHA for quite some months. He is currently the Director of Intelligence, in which he invests a lot of time, he has no real intention of becoming congressmember this month this is why he prefered a low place so he could secure the list.
8
Auggustus
Recently awakened eRepublik dino Auggustus is just here to close the list
🙂
It will be an interesting election, we hope we will gain a nice amount of seats again! But in order to do this we need you to VOTE FOR IRON AND WINE!
Best regards on behalf of Iron and Wine,

AUGGY 4 CONGRESS
Oh no!! Not ... Auggy!! 😉
Good to see that the oldies are still active in the eNL 😉
maho ❤
Good luck to I&W! : )
Unfortunately we were pushed out of the top 5 over night, so no candidates for I&W this month 😕
When I checked the congress elections in the countries I am interested in (Poland (PTO party active (on place 5)), United Kingdom (no surprises), Belgium (wiped against PTO) and the Netherlands) I was surprised to see no I&W on the ballot although I had seen this article before. it seems that you really need to attract new players. 6/8 candidates were active in my time in the Netherlands. We all know that is ancient history, I&W deserves better.
We actually still got the most active CM / members Niemand. It just seems we don't have enough sheep 🙁
or multis
Indeed nobody needs sheep and multies are destroying any fun.
What I tried to say is that you need new and active members and not lending that much on the old and experienced ones. Compare TUP in UK and I&W in the Netherlands, both parties have very experienced people, are active for years already but the list for congress of TUP is full with new and active people.

I know UK is bigger, so that can be a help, but try to reach the new and promising players.
Believe me I try but there just aren't much new people that get active in the game, we are absolutely open to ANYONE who wants to participate in the community, you can write parts of the party program @ your first day in Iron and Wine 😕
Dat klopt toch ook niet. Die politieke spelletjes, waardoor Iron and Wine er weer eens buiten is gezet. Zelf ben ik geen lid meer, maar netjes vind ik dit echt niet.
Goodluck mannen!
