[President ] triple purpose document.

Day 1,199, 08:43 • Published in Belgium Belgium • by shadowukcs

Dear citizens of eBE

This is a triple-purpose document. Only in the first part I write in my official function as ePresident of eBE. The second part is a recollection and personal impression of the past month. The third part is a reflection for you all think about and a call for you to vote for me.




Peace in our time

It is with great joy that I can announce that eFrance and eBelgium have finally come an agreement concerning peace. Yesterday Kallmar proposed to remove the Natural enemy. At the moment of typing, the vote is going 25 for and 10 against. This means that the 66% majority required is reached. In 4 hours I will propose peace to the French and then we can put these turbulent times behind us at last. In 48 hours, the war will be officially over!!







A personal impression of the past month.

It is without doubt to say that the past month has been the hardest eBE has had to endure since it’s independence. Never before has there been a attack on our own soil. On top of that the negotiations proved hard and difficult as the French weren’t really willing to cooperate at start.

I can however state that some serious errors were made at the start of this war by LvL. When the war broke out, it took days before the government (under LvL my predecessor) took action. As a result of this, there were no real plans nor agreements to end the war. After less than a week in power, he resigned (for unfortunate reasons) and I was dropped in this mess. And believe me, it was a mess. There was little coordination, little cooperation, little communication. We war could have ended allot earlier if proper action was taken at start. In fact, we could have prevented it all from the start. We came up with a battle plan to prevent eBelgium from being wiped entirely but couldn’t really succeed in achieving peace. This ofcourse until some talks I had with Kallmar and other presidents yesterday night.

Finally we achieved peace. Finally, this mess is over. I’d like to thank mittekemuis, temujin and all members of my cabinet for their great support during this time. It’s thanks to them that this war is over.



Regarding my presidency

Little has changed since last time. The war, restructures in the military, diplomatic talks, took in all my time. In order to fix problems caused by this, I wasn’t able realize what I hoped and promised to do. You cannot simultaneously say “ooh look guys, we’re on the break of having our country wiped out” and promote fun and laughter in our media. In this month, there has been little to laugh about.

Now the war is luckily over. Finally I can start doing what I promised. My idea’s remained the same as are my goals.

I’m not going to add more as everything has stayed more or less the same.





For the third and last part of this manifesto, I wasn’t sure if I was going to write this. And when I wrote it, I wasn’t sure if should publish it. Bu, I am, and have always been a man who speaks up, whether ppl want to hear it or not. I give my opinion unsalted and uncensored. It is what I am. It is all I stand for.

I am well aware that ppl will interpret this in the wrong way and see this is blackmailing of my political opponent. I do not care. I cannot win anyway and it would just not be my style to remain silent.


The cancer that is destroying eBelgium: political monopolies.



eBelgium is sick my friends. Our democracy is sick. In fact, we have lost all sense of democracy a long time ago and with every election we are growing closer towards a totalitarian one-party state, similar to the Chinese model. (except that it isn’t communist). I remember the time when there was an equal distribution amongst eBelgian parties. I remember the time when there was a sense of respect amongst the candidates and when parties respected “gentleman’s agreements” between each other. (gentleman’s agreements such as “backing the sitting president, regardless of his party”). This isn’t the case anymore. Now, eBE is reigned by BfB and its horde of sheepvoters. A nice example of this can be seen last election when LvL won. His manifesto wasn’t even in proper English, it had little to no content and it basically said “I’m going to let others do the work for me”. In short, it was by far the shittiest manifesto in ages. And still he won. Despite the large amount of active BfB’ers (the good ones, they know who they are ❤ and I’m not going to name them here) that voted for RB. He won thanks to sheep voters, he won thanks to ppl who don’t really care who they vote for or what the candidate stands for, no they vote for whoever their party puts up and just want the XP bonus that they get for casting their vote. That is the hard reality in eBE. In the past this wasn’t a problem since the parties had a gentleman’s agreement that they would always support the sitting candidate. (as RB did many times in the past for TR when he was president). This lead to a mutual respect and understanding from both sides. Now, it seems BfB (rea😛 TR) doesn’t have this respect anymore.


I personally feel hurt and stabbed in the back by this. It was BfB’s candidate that got us into this war. It was the inefficiency of their candidate that prevented this war from being stopped in the very beginning or even stopped from ever starting (as a good president would have immediately contacted the French congressmen to vote against the proposal)After only a few days, LvL gave up and I was forced into place to fix the situation. Trust me, these weren’t fun times. The endless discussions and meetings get tiresome. Getting up at 2.00AM in the night to launch attacks according to our battle plan (if we didn’t follow them we would risk being wiped), endless tiresome talks with French congressmen, French diplomats as well helping with the distribution of guns, the reforming of the military,… complaints here, complaints there… But I did it for eBE and because I wanted to give the citizens of eBelgium the best possible gaming experience. In that entire month, I busted my ass off to get peace, in the hopes that once we get peace, I would be able to start with the thing I promised in my manifesto. I would start bringing fun and laughter in eBE. And despite the fact many ppl asked me to chose a new cabinet and remove TR as special advisor, I didn’t do so. Because I respected him and his opinion. When I see now that TR doesn’t respect the same gentleman’s agreement we gave him when he was president, I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the back.


I guess it only shows the hypocrisy of TR. In his manifesto he says he’ll give me a job as MoHa. A few hours before he published his manifesto we had an heated fight and then there he goes, giving me a position as MoHa. Obvious hypocritical populist move is obvious. He’s like the guy that’s strangling a puppy in an alley and when ppl watch he acts like he’s hugging it. I hope with this, my answer to your request to be a MoHa is clear enough, TR. You are everything I oppose, a populist, medal hunting VISA-player. You’re a guy that goes on the eBE forum claiming you’re against the invasion of eBe by PANAM while wearing their avatar and fighting for their milita in Brazil. You fight for us while fighting for them at the same time. You are the very thing admins love and honest players oppose.


For what it’s worth, I’m know I’m not going to win, so I don’t care if I sound harsh, butthurt, slanderer … I don't really care. Like I said earlier: I give my opinion: unsalted and uncensored. If you rather give in to the idea of a 1-party state, give in to the idea that the only way to achieve something here is to buy it with gold. If you believe that you are measured in this game by the amount of medals you have, then go ahead. Vote for ThomasRed. But for those of you who still believe that a president should act the way he talks, that a president should not be a VISA player, that a president should respect every agreement made, no matter how long ago; For those of you who think that a president should be open to his citizens and say what he thinks without being populist or being backstabbing,… If you want this game to be about fun again and remain a game, vote for shadowukcs. Vote for democracy



I am shadowukcs, I always say what I think, I always do what I promised and my main objective is to bring back fun in this game.
