A Big Truth For eIreland!!!
•
by AD31 the Highlander
Greetings eIreland. It’s been some time since my last article. I have quite a lot to write this time and i get the feeling, some of you will not like what i have to say. But first things first.
In my last article i proposed a series of congress updates to be published from ILP congress members. Unfortunately RL had other plans for most of us, so we were not able to deliver that promise. For that i apologise.
So, shall we begin with this big truth?
For a total of 7 months, i had the privilege of representing generally Ireland and particularly ILP in congress (5 months as elected congress member and 2 months while Ireland was wiped, keeping the congress position until our liberation). During that time i tried to work towards the benefit of Ireland, the best way i saw fit. During all this time i met some really good guys, which helped me have fun while playing this game. Some of those guys also helped me during my time as ILPs PP. So i feel “obligated” (in a way) to thank those guys.
But like in all situations, there is a good side effect and a bad side effect. In all those months i witnessed step-by-step the corruption in eIrelands government (both congress and cabinets). But in all honesty, last month was like a “revelation” for me. The level of corruption in the present government is of the scale! This last month in particular i got trolled/insulted numerous times by known “irish” citizens, i witnessed congress threads getting leaked on #eire (Irelands irc channel), “Irish” government selling Ireland, by giving an Irish region to UK totally behind our backs and congress members reacting on this issue as if it is “funny”.
I could easily mention a few examples of such corruption, but there is really no point. Why, you may ask. The answer is very simple. As many of you know already, there were 3 factions in Irish community so far. The kunts, the anti-kunts and the neutrals. The neutrals were the ones holding our community united at difficult times. Though these last months the neutral faction simple disappeared, leaving Ireland to fight between corrupted politicians and players who try for the better of Ireland.
As long as these 2 factions don’t decide to leave the past behind, change course and work together, the Irish community will always be in a civil war. And as long as corrupted politicians continue to get elected in powerful positions, Ireland will never really be free. That was a lesson i learned the hard way this last month.
I am a person who does not tolerate lies, corruption or bad behaviour in general. And thus each time i witness any of these, i feel the need to stand up and “resist” any way i can. But the continuous “resisting” made me grow tired. Thus i decided to go on “vacation” in another community.
As i said above, many of you who read this article, will not really like it. And so you will try to attack me or ILP publically for that, by insulting/flaming etc. Before you do so, have in mind that such an act will simply justify this article and prove my words correct.
There are still good players here. Players that if they decide to combine their power and their goals, Ireland can really change and be a very good community to stay and play! I still have faith that this will happen someday.
Farewell for now and thank you for reading.
With respect to Irish citizens,

I've read it and I'm not mad, but where do you place me personaly, I've been in congress with you entirely. I give structured arguments if i have one, civilily and straight forward.
Since you were with me in congress, you can imagine to whom i am referring to! Fortunatelly not all congress members are the same as "Irish" goverment right now.
AD31 for CP
lol Ίσως κάποια στιγμή σ το μέλλον, αλλά τώρα ούτε με σφαίρες :Ρ
Farewell AD31, hope we'll see ya soon back in Ireland. It's been a pleasure to work with you and fight beside you. My words will not be spent on few irish citizens who disrespected congress and all citizens of eIreland.
Thanks mate 🙂 Good luck this month in congress 😉
Okey so I haven't been in congress for 3 or 4 months. Now I am -- thanks for informing in what situation we are...
Good luck in congress mate! And congrats for being elected 😉
Thanks. Sorry to see another irish player go...
As State Prior and Cleric of The Word i bless this article with a holy vote........
We all know about who AD31 is talking about...let's see will they publically reveal themself in this comment section...
I am sad to see you go mate. You were a great PP and Congressman
Thanks Winston, but in all honesty it was the players behind the scenes that helped ILP during my time as PP. And those people deserve the credits, more than I do 😉 See you around my friend!
Well I am unhappy to see you go.
You have the youthful motivation found in newer players that eIreland needs. The oldfarts like me need an infusion of energy amongst our ranks every now and again. An energy that players like you can bring to the table.
Be well, AD.
We'll keep a light on for your return.
Thank you Bhane, but in my humble opinion eIreland needs more than young players with energy. This country needs to be free from the players "occupying" goverment posittion over and over again. These are the "destructors" of this country and as long as they are still in power, Ireland will never really be free.
And it's a darn shame, because this community has several players that are very good. Irish community could easily be one of the best communities in eRep!
Honour serving on the battlefield, if not in the barracks.
Didn't get on with you first but we talked behind closed doors and I came to like you.
Good luck with whatever venture you take.
Thanks. I appreciate that!
sad to see another good player leave ireland..
the last events hurt lot of citizen, including me. and i really hope a change in this country or the departures will continue.
o7 mate we stay in touch, good vacations and good come back in greece.
Thanks CoB. Leaving Irish community, does not mean i forget you all! We'll be in touch 😉
ps : you can be a banshee whenever you want !!!!
Sometimes the truth come as a big shock, I wish you well and hopefully those young and older players could do some good to eIreland, the first step would be overthrowing the government and then the brits.
The official excuse of such corruption and uk bend over is related to “game mechanics”…
Magical thinking is dangerous.
"game mechanics" is not an excuse. It is the rules, and realities we have to live with. The game mechanics are the very confines that define what we can and cannot do in this game. Game mechanics is sometimes the BEST reason to make certain decisions.
Wise decisions are made when one has perspective on all the mitigating factors. Foolish decisions are made when one focuses on a single desire, while ignoring the world around them.
A fool is willfully oblivious
A wise man knows that there is much he does not know.

You gave a great service to the ILP, comrade.

Thanks Mike. Nice medals too 🙂
I also dont understand the Louth take over some well known players asked me to stop fighting and then give a explanation later. Still no explanation. The problem is government wants to protect a certain group. For example where is the results of the latest sorbets. Simply put we need to stop thinking a person is indispensable. Also the IA /Bootcamp should be dimsantled and all factories returned to the government. The IA /bootcamp has become the principle vehicle to gather votes for seanan, sweetie and appleman. after all if your receiving free stuff every day there is no reason to vote for anyone else.
The problem of not voting is those in power can elect one another more easily, they don’t even need to run for those positions and instead of a democracy we would have a dictatorship and if we all vote against them, it would be a lot easier to get rid of them and their rotten political decisions that affect us all, I mean those who really care with eIreland and don’t hide behind the “game mechanics”.
We don't want to win Louth because that secures our borders. It is a reasonable peace to give up one region to keep the others in the this TWO dominated geopolitical atmosphere. The massive advantage they have in every battle cannot be overcome with just a strong will.
Having 5/6 regions protects our dail, our production, our economy, our sovereignty. It is far and away a better option than 0/6 region by being beligerent and giving TWO no other option than to just steamroll us into oblivion.
There is nothing traitorous about a reasonable peace that had to be made. This is not about yielding to eBrits at all. This peace is about accepting the reality of TWO's dominance. People in positions of leadership cannot willfully ignore the unstoppable dominance of Sperbioland on the world stage.
the point is a bit naive. eUk is a part of TWO so in fact we are saying we are protecting our borders from TWO by giving a region to TWO. If Poland said move over we are taking Louth and then Ireland would they necessarily defend us?
I'm sorry to see you go, even though we fundamentally disagree on recent events.
Sorry to see you go. We need people with ideas and energy. You have both.

Whenever you put a group of irish people in a room and ask them to vote for a leader they will inevitably vote for a selfish arsehole who's ignorance is only outward by his arrogance and that will always lead to them thinking they are more important than the country, but rest assured when things go bad all the people who voted for him swear they did not and they go find another clone of the last moron to vote for. Though I'm not sure if this applies to the game
Yes, because good government is corruption.
Bye.
If you define good as in not doing anything for the last five months...well you got the point 😉
The map has changed significantly in that time, I think you'll find. I'll also think you'll find we're not Poland, so we're very limited for options that don't get us wiped.
ILP policy seems to be to get us wiped at this stage though.
Since we are talking about corruption, maybe we should stick to the topic. Now I have the means to prove you are corrupted "to the bone" and that you are using your political power to promote your personal agenda! Take a look here -> http://prntscr.com/1zzehy That message of yours was made during one of the 3 terms Sweet was CP. I was wrong earlier, you did something as a MoFA. You used your political power to blacklist a Croatian citizen who applied for CS, only because his name made you think he is a "nazi". You also openly threatened any congress member that in case we give him CS, you will name and shame them publically.
The duty of a MoFA is to work towards the benefit of his country, considering foreign affairs, meaning to keep and strangthen our relations with our allies. Clearly you failed at this job. Instead you chose to use the MoFA power in order to promote your political racism over a player you don;t even know, only because of his name and the last party he was in (a far-right).
Now i asked everyone who is reading this. Is this really the behaviour of a MoFA Ireland needs? Does Ireland as a whole approve this kind of attitude from a government official? Is this what a "good government" does?
DAAAAAAAAAMN! 😛
Well Boru was one of The Orcs who called all Croatians pigs for months.
And if we connect that with Padraig's statement that croatians who were killed at Vukovar are filthy pigs it's clear why Boru and his ORcs chiosed to use word pigs for all croatians...
that is a fact Boru..
Just like it's fact that was not the first time ORcs tried to ban croatian player for getting irish cz.
Remember Little Victoria when Conway and and Elite C lied she is a PTOer without any evidences?
Orcs.......
AD, I was one of those who argued against the anti-Croatian sentiment and measures as being xenophobic.
Representing Brian as a "political racist", whatever that means, is both politically and intellectually dishonest, especially in the relevant context of my term. What you've managed to do is criticize Brian for using appropriate discretion within the mandate of his job, plus accused him of being inactive without having any means of knowing what he's been doing for me aside from my own account and his.
Since you refuse to except accounts from either of us, you've excused yourself from having that discussion. Otherwise you're just being dishonest.
His far-right political affiliation made me think his was a Nazi, his name was a secondary concern. Protecting the country against such people was my job at that point, to not do so would have been a failure of duty to our citizenry.
I didn't object to others being brought in, including people who are now in your party if I recall correctly.
And this isn't Croatia, we don't have to give citizenship to Croatians automatically.
I was expecting Brian to reply, but i really want to thank both Brian and Ian for replying. Because that gives me the opportunity to extend my statement and prove once more the corruption in our country.
During the first day of Ian's presidency, the new congress (that month) begun discussing about using an irc channel or a forum in order to "avoid" having 2 congress threads in game. That way all of congress could actually afford debate properly, which is a very good idea.
During that discussion it was made known that ChewChewShoe (UK'S present MoF) is still and admin/mod in #eire along with others. Regardless of how some people want to present him as a "savior" or a "secret agent" or even a "true Irish patriot", the fact remains that he openly betrayed Ireland in the past, even with fighting against Ireland.
It was also made known that Brian Boru has the ownership of #eire. During the congress discussion, some people asked that Chew to be removed from that posittion as he is no longer eIrish, while some others in their try to protect him and his position as mod/admin, they notified him about the discussions. To be more precise, they copy pasted to him congress threads, showing what i and others was saying about him. The result was that -> http://prntscr.com/201jck .
Afterwards i joined #eire out of curiosity. Once i got online, i got insulted once again from irishbhoy, only this time no one bothered banning/kicking him because the onwer and curtain mods/admins are friends with him. Though if i responded i would have been kicked in a second!
While Chew was online on irc, Sweet Drinker (also a mod/admin) decided to copy pate on irc whole congress threads. That was made just before our CP Ian joined the channel, but even when he did and he saw the discussions and the leaked congress threads, he did absolutely nothing.
So basically,we could say that #eire is BB's and CO most favorite playground, while housing and informing of our congress a known Irish traitor.
Now i ask the Irish community once again (and by Irish community i don;t mean only BB or Ian), is this what a "good government" does? If yes, then maybe we should all begin leaking/pasting our congress threads to other countries as well.
You don;t like it, but it is the truth. BB did nothing for the benefit of Ireland for the past 5 months as MoFA. He only pursued his own agenda and he chased his RL politic opinions in a game. He refused CS and blacklisted an unknown player to him, only because of his name and the last political party he was a member. http://prntscr.com/201l7i this is his reply to Alexcantona on RtK'S last article. Ian that post was made while he is MoFA under your administration, not Sweet's.
Brian Boru did nothing for the benefit of Ireland for 5 months in a row, but he did use his MoFA power for his own personal goals. And he continued that way.
Ian by "protecting" him, while he shows to the public he is a political racist, you are accepting the fact, admiting that as a governemtn official it it the right thing to.
As for another fact of corruption, the current vCP Sweet Driniker manifactured the sell of Louth to UK and the rest of the cabinet supported it. You yourself declared that although nothing was official and that there was no official peace agreement with UK, you made a deal with Boh (under the table) and you gave Louth to UK totally behind Irish citizens backs (including congress). If that is not corruption then what is corruption. http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/law/Ireland/134014 according to this, 10 more people agree you openly betrayed Ireland, by selling a region to the UK!
These are facts of corruption, whether you like it or not! So at least be honest with yourselves and Ireland and admit them!
AD you keep saying that the only reason that Boru decided not to let the player in was just because of his political orientation. Yet in your screen shot it also shows another reason which you have failed to mention in your comments, he repeatedly tried to get around the immigration process by harassing congress members to give him CS. This is often a process used my PTOers, and the player in question even went as far as offering bribes and setting up multi's to try to get into our country.
To do with your issue with the peace aggreement. In every country the CP or his representative will make the peace deal, they will negotiate it and than once they feel they have come to the best agreement they will go to their congress to receive the final stamp of approval. This is not under hand politics this is just the process because we can't have the whole of two nations congress debating peace because otherwise nothing will ever get agreed.
And no just because 10 people didn't vote for the proposal doesn't mean that they thought the CP went behind their backs it just means they don't agree with the final outcome, but as you can see the majority saw sense and did agree with the proposal.
And back to your ongoing thought that our government tries to give the eUK regions just on a whim, we don't. Fighting is expensive, and weren't even fighting TWO, if we decided not to accept a peace treaty we would have been back to where we were 6 months ago, wiped with no chance of getting on the map. TWO is vastly stronger than us, vastly stronger than even CoT going into a all out war with one of their main countries would be suicide, just look at Brazil or France or the Netherlands or even the USA. Right now we have peace and almost all of our regions, this is something our country shouldn't take for granted because many other countries in our position don't get the opportunity for peace, they have to be wiped and oppressed with no hope of gaining regions.
"AD you keep saying that the only reason that Boru decided not to let the player in was just because of his political orientation.

This is often a process used my PTOers, and the player in question even went as far as offering bribes and setting up multi's to try to get into our country."
In 5 months i was a congress member, i received over 10 requests from players asking to grant them CS. Regardless if their request was under immigration procedure or not. Even if immigration declined their request. So what you are suggesting is that anyone who is "harassing" congress member over a CS, is a PTOer (regardless if he really is or not) and should be dealt with accordingly.
This is a kind of dictatorship you know.
"To do with your issue with the peace aggreement.

This is not under hand politics this is just the process because we can't have the whole of two nations congress debating peace because otherwise nothing will ever get agreed."
Irish government sold out Louth to UK, without having any official peace agreement made known. In all honesty, UK could accept Louth (as they did) and then refuse to form a peace with Ireland, continuing the war with us. According to our CP, nothing was sure and there was no official peace agreement/treaty in place. Just a discussion/deal between Ian and Boh. Should i remind you Louth was given to UK in less than a day.
"And no just because 10 people didn't vote for the proposal doesn't mean that they thought the CP went behind their backs it just means they don't agree with the final outcome, but as you can see the majority saw sense and did agree with the proposal."
Well the result was the same. 11 players in total were unsatisfied with Ian's actions. To a level, they thought impeaching was a right decission to make!
As for TWO, no one can really deny their power in e-World. The point on Louth was that the whole move was rushed from our side, there wasn't any official agreement in order to give Louth to UK and as i said above, UK could have easily refused the agreement, resulting in our wipe.
It would have been the same if we were to "return" Cork, Mayo or Shannon. The procedure was totally wrong. Our vCP sold Louth to UK in a blink of an eye, while government officials supported this act, although there wasn;t any official agreement both in our congress or the UK congress.
It felt like we deliberatly paid UK because they let us free our other regions! So in other words, we paid our rent to keep our regions!
1) You can't force people to use IRC much less all of Dail. I wanted to dismiss the whole IRC discussion as a half-baked idea, but ofc it turned into an argument over other people's bitter history.
IRC is an extremely low priority. It's useful to those who want to use it, but it's not my job as Cp to babysit everyone. eIrish citizens have a right to play the game without having to use external forums or irc.
Saying this is an example of corruption is just another example of you propagandizing and grasping at straws.
2) "That was made just before our CP Ian joined the channel, but even when he did and he saw the discussions and the leaked congress threads, he did absolutely nothing."
When you join a channel you get a blank page, so if something was said before I arrived than I would have no access to it. If it was a ss you sent or something - even then I have to say that it isn't my job to babysit you.
3) Once more, you have no way of knowing how much work Brian was doing, so every time you claim he hasn't done anything, I want everyone to realize that you're being dishonest in claiming knowledge of that.
4) Last month we had 3 regions. This month we have 5. This you call corruption because why? Because I made a difficult decision in order to keep it that way. And for the record, if the eUK had decided not to honour peace, we would simply have taken back Louth in a RW. This was a TW too, so all this talk of under the table deals in nonsense. If anything we made an under the table deal to go from 3 to 5 regions. I'm just not sorry for that.
" if the eUK had decided not to honour peace, we would simply have taken back Louth in a RW. This was a TW too," Ian i am impressed. For months i read Seanan and Sweet claiming in congress that we don;t have the firepower to win ANY RW. Now you come to say that if UK continued the war, we would simply RW Louth and win it back?
About this TW, if the war continued, UK would have ordered their citizens to fight. Unless you have assurances from inside the UK government that they would simply give Louth back to us if the peace agreement would not get accepted!
As for irc, you are right on the part that when you log in you receive a blank page. But the fact is people still continued tot alk about it and leak congress threads while you were there. And unfortunatelly for you, i can also prove that! Take a look here -> http://prntscr.com/1tnpkb Those were the mods/admins online att hat moment (you included since you are CP) -> http://prntscr.com/1tnifd -> http://prntscr.com/1tnixq
As you can see Ian, you where there and you saw what was said. So lieing just isn't the best thing for you to do now.
As for babysitting, i never asked from anyone to babysit me. I am not here to ask for a babysitter. I am here to expose your treachery and your cabinet's bad behaviour towards Ireland. And honestly i feel the need to thank you, because you give me the opportunity to do so.
"As i said above, many of you who read this article, will not really like it. And so you will try to attack me or ILP publically for that, by insulting/flaming etc. Before you do so, have in mind that such an act will simply justify this article and prove my words correct." As long as you and anyone else continue attacking me over this matter you just accomplish justifying the existance of this article, while proving my words correct!
Keep up the good work 😉
I don't understand what was said that is supposed to be incriminating...
Is it your position that members of government are not entitled to freedom of speech? That because I volunteer my time to serve in government, I'm not longer entitled to the same rights as any other citizen?
No matter what you say, my government hasn't done anything wrong, and you haven't shown anything to the contrary. You think you can just take something that you disapprove of and cast it in a conspiratory light and have bow down to you or something.
I've done nothing but work hard for this country for two month's. I haven't claimed to be perfect, but I'm not going to stand by and be slandered by some guy with an inexplicable grudge against me.
You're right though, what I've effectively done here is given into a troll. Not that you are a troll - I think you're sincere even if you're very confused and bitter - but the same principle applies. I would have been better off ignoring you.
Also, let me sincerely ask you a question. Do you feel that you're under attack here?
I mean you wrote this article and you've made some accusations about me and my government - is it an attack on you for me to then try to correct you where I feel you're being unfair?
I can understand you feeling that you're under attack. Try to imagine how I feel... like I've wasted two months of hard work only to come under accusations of corruption at a time when I thought people would be happy that we'd come out of a TW so well...
I don't enjoy arguing with you. I find this whole thing very sad and disheartening. Clearly, no matter how good of a job you do, people will just resent you for it - even if you're doing it for them. This is why I never wanted to become Cp in the first place.
Well, as you also stated in the congress during the final days (before elections) my reaction to the recent events, along with the reaction of curtain other people made you want to ignore us. http://prntscr.com/1z1s9j
As stated above, not only you declared you would ignore me but the whole congress next time .
Being as CP doesn;t mean you stop have the same rights a citizen has. But i ask of Ireland, when a CP is openly declaring he is willing to ignore the whole congress from any future similar situations, just because some congress memebrs were unsatisfied and stood up to speak for that, is this what a "good government" does?
So far Ian, in all your comments in this article, you managed to accuse me of being dishonest, when at the same time you did not show anything to prove i am dishonest.
You call me a troll. But the fcts i show are far from trolling. I am here to say the truth, whether you (and the likes of you) like it or not. Clearly you don't. It is ok, we can;t have everyone like us or our actions, or our beliefs. But by accusing me without bringing any facts to justify your words, simply prove that
1) I am not crazy
2) Since i am not crazy i do speak the truth, otherwise you wouldn't be here paying attention to my accusations
3) With your own words, you assured the rest of us you lie (even publically).
4) You may call me a troll, but the fact is, there are players here who also believe those things i say. They also stand up and speak the same things. So according to your logic, they are trolls too? Correct? Wrong!
Why wrong? Because having your own beliefs and sharing them with the rest of the community, is something granted by the game. But the likes of you, whatever you see and dislike, you call trolling!
