Join the new world

boated

A thorough report, and an excellent term, sir.
Good luck in the next election.

i disagree with the - #10 was granted citizenship without being approved by the Office of Immigration.

i spoke about anoir one entire month ago in the congress thread, the only hesitation i read was because it's a trip around the world and that he will no stay.

you asked me to wait the last day, i did : no response again..so last day i used my CS.

just a word about so many CS accepted last month and already gone : big ant (spain), NT games (back in UK) Mr manhattan (canada), severus snape (FYROM)

it strange we accepted so many brits and the one not tolered is one of a player with a nationality who share a mpp with us..

Did you read the Dail Guide?

no comment.

If it was a misunderstanding than don't worry about it. I'm just following the rules I set out for myself in that guide.

"11] 09.28 - moomoohead cz given by Rikian1776 [ !]"

No offence, but its moo ffs! He's a RL Irishman and exCP of eIreland, why does he need some quango to approve him?

Because those are the rules. I don't like grey area in immigration. Under normal circumstances people can wait. If they can't, the immigration system isn't harsh - it's just objective and transparent.

It's easy enough to wait for Immigration approval, and it undermines the process to make exceptions. If you read the Dail Guide from the beginning of the month, or even my campaign articles, you'll see that I'm only following through with a promise that I made to carry out these clear and objective rules.

One former eIrish cp okaying the cs request of another former cp of eIreland, doesn't warrant a mention imo. But I can see your point re consistency.

agree with NFM about it not warranting a mention

Because it seems to have been decreed that the Dail are now employees of the CP and must follow the rules he feels should be followed.

Employees? Who told you there was a payroll?

Those rules weren't created by Ian. They are rules the dail has been following for years. Tweaks have occurred from time to time, but the core of the dail rules have stayed basically the same.

The rules aren't created to enforce "obedience" to anyone, but rather to keep a semblance of order. Following some guidelines keeps random proposals from appearing out of the blue, or from potential PTOs from being granted cz. The gist of the rules are to promote discourse before decisions, instead of decisions followed by reactionary arguing.

Bhane, it still comes across as very autocratic that I must not exercise my position as a member of the Dail without the prior approval of the CP, whether the CP is Ian or someone else.

I do believe there should be order in the Dail. While a healthy discussion of matters is always good, anarchy within a governmental body is not. That, however, does not mean the individual members should be subservient to another branch of the government or the consensus of the Dail.

I feel we answer to our party, through our PP who put us into the position. If we transgress sufficiently, then there is a mechanism to prevent our being in a position to do so again.

Moo's not a RL Irishman. He's a Monaghan blow-in. Just sayin' 😉

Hasn;t he also relocated to the eUS in RL.

Something dodge about him!

Nah, he's not dodgy at all. He's lovely 🙂

Whats that movie with the vampire cows....... Just warning you....

Any chance of a more current financial report? If I counted right on my lil fingers and toes, that one was put out before I began playing the game...

Sorry, the link there was goof by me which I'll fix. The most recent finance report is for August which should make more sense given it was released during my term in early September.

Thank you, Ian.

Thanks for the update Mr. President. Good luck.

lol making moo wait for the cs approval process is something that will just not happen.

it's just not the Irish way to do things.

Not trying to change people's ways. Just re-enforcing a system of transparency and objectivity. I'm more willing to accept the limits of government power than most. These rules are a matter of consistency, clarity, and fairness.

The public are the ultimate judge. You don't see anyone up on a crucifix.

You'll be up on one if you keep this up.

Not much of a consequence to me. Elections are tomorrow, if people are that bothered than I hope they don't vote for me.

Not surprised to see you overreacting again though.

"Unfortunately I must say that although Dáil started out constructively, things have devolved somewhat into inappropriate arguments which have given nothing constructive to proceedings and have generally wasted everyone's time and focus. I would call on all Dáil members to straighten up from this point on and make a conscious effort to be more constructive and professional."

Have you details on that as I did not see anything in my mass message that warranted such a rebuke, a few comments to my reply to Conways question but that is just children at play and no one takes them seriously

I won't provide specific details in-order to avoid anyone feeling targeted, as it's honestly a general failure of a broad base, possibly including myself.

I apologize if I overstated the severity of the breakdown in order, but I think it's worth informing the public of the general direction their elected officials are taking in their demeanour. I can only describe it as an overall lack of respect for the purpose of Dáil, that too often the tendency has been to address the character of individuals before the objective issues or welfare of the nation. In effect, personal feelings have overcome duty, and in my humble opinion, any degree of this is at a minimum a minor failure.

At best, this creates distractions. At worst, it undermines the ability of Dáil members to cooperate as it biases public representatives to lean based on personal issues rather than inner beliefs and good sense.

WHS you've never done anything of note other than lose Ireland 3 million quid. You have nothing to be arrogant about, it's not like anyone takes you seriously and anyone that does should take some blame for putting you in a positition where you and your party destroyed the place.

Ignoring iBhoys lose grip on reality...

Ian I will have to assume this all happened in the other thread.

Reading over both threads I'd say it was DGB where things ran away a bit. I think you're in DGA. Same issues being discussed but the underlying tensions are a lot clearer in group B.

Things have evened out for the time being luckily. Still, I now know how quickly things can get out of hand which is why i'd be indebted to all TDs to try extra hard at provoking thought rather than emotions.
