[Tutorial] Getting away with it
•
by Topher Fair
Let us for a moment think back to the good old days of March 2015. Everyone is terrified of the new feature which has been added to the game: DICTATORSHIP.
Music: http://tinyurl.com/adastrudas
To stop infinitely wealthy Hungarian bot farmers and Saudi princes from pay2win'ing the one battle needed to take over eUK, everyone has paid for YOU to be DICTATOR. Now those infinitely wealthy Hungarian bot farmers and Saudi princes have to pay2win two battles instead of one. Epic plan, can't fail!
The only condition is that you need to hand DICTATOR over to the next CP and unfortunately the guy you wanted to win just lost. Goddammit Democracy!
Don't get upset, this guide is here for you!
1 ) Make sure that you are in a party where you can do whatever the hell you want. Remember that playing fair is what you attack others for not doing while you break all of the rules yourself. UKRP is a good choice, at the very worst they will stay quiet until it's all blown over.
2 ) Make sure that whatever you do, as a coward you do it on your very last days as President/DICTATOR. You can lay low with your party and let whoever comes after you deal with your mess instead. Since you are still DICTATOR why not do it the day after the election?
3 ) Since you gave your word that the next President would be given DICTATOR, why not give it to one of your random friends who wasn't even in the election instead? It wasn't really a democratic election isn't they didn't listen to big deals like yourself!
4 ) Since you are so worried about needing DICTATORSHIP to save the country from certain doom, make sure that the new DICTATOR acts like a dick and don't justify choosing him. This will guarantee that everyone will fight for him when the time comes since you showed them who is boss!
5 ) To make sure that your replacement stays in power, he should be in a MU split about the whole DICTATOR thing and he has very little tanking power of his own. He won't be getting up at 2am to tank anyway so let the peasants worry about that little problem.
6 ) Your replacement DICTATOR should not post any articles so that he doesn't look like he is trying too hard, he can complain about the guy who should have had his job not posting articles instead. If everything is boring people will forget about the whole thing.
7 ) Vaguely complain about the guy you should have given DICTATOR to having a crappy and inactive government because they are not your friends. Then have your friends steal the treasury. Raise concerns about everything which happens so that you seem to know what you are talking about.
8 ) If anyone disagrees with you and starts giving away free stuff to get rid of your guy, start to bully them. Remember that nobody is going to take notice of someone you and your friends are ganging up on. People who do bad things are automatically wrong about everything ever.
9 ) After laying low for a month, start commenting on all articles in a slightly annoyed and aggressive way like you are an expert and everything is being done wrong. Remember to bully people so that you fit in again, list times they haven't played fair so that people forget about you not playing fair.
10 ) Run for President or get into the government again to clean up the mess the eUK is in. Don't tell everyone that you caused the mess!
Happy Easter!

TLDR:
Adastros has joined the ranks of great eUK CPs like BigAnt, he is humble though and is desperately trying to avoid being tarred with the same traitor brush.
So a guy who gives dictatorship to the guy who had one of the most successful CP terms I've ever seen and then did nothing else and had no idea how wayne was gonna run things is the same as the guy who started the serb PTO crisis and then robbed both government and private money?
Hm yup seems legit.
Handing over power to other people without asking anyone? Then everything goes to shit? Yeah?
'Then everything goes to shit?' - How exactly. The eUK was better off with Wayne pushing buttons than Huey. I mean ffs, it doesn't take a genius to work out that Huey was a hopeless CP, regardless of whether he had a few shiny buttons or not
It isn't really a choice between BIGANT DEVIL and WAYNE ANGEL. There can be shades of grey inbetween or even parts which are better and parts which are worse.
There are parallels in handing power to other people when you don't know what they have planned. There are similarities in people fighting afterwards and one side failing.
There are also things which are totally different, it's easy to ignore the TRAITOR side of things and pick some silly irrelevant difference to argue on.
I have absolutely no shame in what I did; not only has it been thoroughly entertaining to see people like yourself get their knickers in a twist over it- and the eUK is better off as a result of having Wayne around.
I do love how you keep concocting these complex ideas that it was some kind of massive plan from the start though.
I didn't get my knickers in a twist. I gave Wayne a chance, got bored like everyone else and tanked against him winning some BHs.
Like most I didn't really think about you, not much to say about TRAITOR. Now you've reappeared this article seemed fun to write 🙂
You not having any shame is what makes this article work!
eUK has been a barrel of laughs and a non-stop hive of activity and entertainment since you 'tanked' against a 2.09 determination bonus that wasn't being contested...
now that I've reappeared? where have I been?
I think you are being sarcastic Wayne, but the sad thing is that it actually has. Can you imagine this active CP election we just had with nothing to play for?
Also if I can tank with a 2.09 determination bonus, it kind of throws the "Dictator for PTO safety" thing into doubt.
You class this as an active CP race and think eUK has been active in the past week your standards are slipping, Goku.
Yes, it would be very difficult to be in perpetual dictatroship. Plato has designed it as a currency sink. Dictatorships are not designed to be kept, it serves no monetarty gain for him. That's not to say it couldn't be done with agreement with most of the eUK.
As I have stated time and time again, eUK needs to have a serious discussion on the pro's and con's of each option and how best to take advantage of the new game mechanics.

You are Goku.
mind = blown
"Goku" is a verb.
Goku is a noun... But I know that it all must be very confusing.
o7
Your most accurate article to date, I'm beginning to like you...
can I just take a moment to remind you that this is Goku.... y'know the guy that was a key part of the serb PTO attempt last year that almost crippled us? Jesus the eUK astonishes me sometimes
Yeah, I know its Goku.
I haven't ever been part of a serb PTO.
I gave a couple citizenship without knowing what was going on once, this I regret. Do you regret messing with the democratic will of the eBritish people? :lol:
lol goku sure you didn't...
and no, I don't.
This Adastros fella sounds awful
Yeah, caught red handed here.
It's terrible how he could do this to the eUK
i allways knew this adastos was a scumbag
Never again can eWhite Knights use "BUT DEMOCRACY!!!!1one" as an excuse to complain 🙂
This Adiddlydos sounds like the kind of person who cleans their teeth before breakfast and not after!
I heard he drowned a new born puppy
Nah, that was Wayne.
they are both so evil it's hard to tell them apart
Adastros whenever I hear that word a little bit of sick comes up in my throat and now I heard he drown a new born puppy it makes it all the worse, this is just shocking news
off with his head !
Should've called this article 'How to spout drivel and make it appear semi-interesting and relevant'
Goku you were a willing participant in the importing of the Serbian Pto'ers even after you allegedly had a change of heart by still letting them in whilst in mongress, and rather than denounce the event you've defended it as 'a protest' at the old guard and their actions, which I seem to recall never involved robbing the country blind or creating a situation that required the dis-assembling of the apparatus you helped create. While I don't condone Adastros's actions you have no right to the moral high ground yourself.
As an aside for your article you could have mentioned create a party and import enemies into it so as to take over the eUK like NE attempted to do, oh I already mentioned that earlier
Is any of that actually true?
Letting in too many people from one country or stealing the treasury is bloody stupid, I think we can all agree on that.
Unfortunately for you, yes it is but like the rest of the NE old ruling elite you have a selective memory in which none of you can be tarnished by facts unless you're the ones spouting those 'facts' and I use the term quite loosely
Well I'm glad that you agree that Adastros belongs in the same hell as the NE old ruling elite 🙂
I thought it was just one guy that paid for the dictatorship and a different person that paid for the revolt?
Nah our taxes paid for both.
Well this is awkward. Goku is - perhaps for the first time - bang on with his analysis. So he deserves to be supported.
But it's Goku, who's all just a bit too Goku to take seriously. So he doesn't deserve to be supported.
Now I don't know what to do. What I could really do with is an arbitrary diktator appointed by an utterly useless medal-hunting CP to tell me what to do. Any takers?
Part 8 of my guide:
"Remember that nobody is going to take notice of someone you and your friends are ganging up on. People who do bad things are automatically wrong about everything ever."
Sentence two of my reply...
"Goku is - perhaps for the first time - bang on with his analysis."
Hey I'm not having a go at you, thanks for the reply I appreciate it!
I'm saying that you should ignore my entire article because of unspecified past crimes 😉
OK. Will do.
PS this article has 71 votes.
Minus the 50 Goku paid for = 21 votes.
Not bad Goku! That has to be a personal record, right?
I voted because I thought it was a sarcastic article
also it's fun winding up Adastros.
It is both 😛
Yikes Goku! If you're paying out 94 Q7 tanks when someone comments, I dread to think how much 50 votes costs you.

where are my tanks?
i want a fabulous lipstick gun
Surely the process is
1) Lose your job/have a mental breakdown/both
2) Delete your old articles and friends
3) Pay 50 gold to change your name again
Although admittedly, in your case this isn't getting away with anything, but rather, somehow making a class of person even worse than 'out of his mind'
