"Her heroes are the bravest
And her songs they are the sweetest
And her lands they are the greenest
This dear old erins isle
And in this land so far away
This land I've never seen
I feel I am a part of
Even though I've never been"

Hello to the beautiful land of beer and whiskey
As the time I am writing this article is 9 P.M in Dublin I wish you already had a great day
Some days ago I saw the article of Daniel Plainvew, Mr.President, that a poor guy was reported, and eventually banned, because he approved a citizenship of another poor guy.
I was reading that article that I saw ... What in The world????.... I AM THE SECOND POOR GUY !!!!!
(Thanks God I wasn't first
😃)
The truth is that I didn't know I was accepted illegally, and maybe some people that I don't have the permission to mention their name can vouch that I was looking for the head of Immigration team to talk with, I guess I have messaged at least 3 or 4 person, and they know what I say, this was such an abrupt event that I didn't get a chance to say goodbye article to my friends !!!
Anyway, it's not that important. I should have introduced myself sooner than this, but accept my apology since I was busy.
I am Shayan Rmz, my first name is Shayan and you can call me whatever you want
😛
I am 19, living in Iran, finished high school in Math and physics major, waiting for the university entrance exam
🙂
I joined this game more than a year ago, probably a night, 10th January 2013, when eIran was under ePoland (I guess) assault.
Believe me or not, that night I didn't fight, fear of dying in battle
😁
Well, about the way I play, although I have some economical activities but what made me stay in this game was political activities and media system.
I really love to write
🙂
About my Political activity, for 5 months I was in 2 of eIran top parties council
For 3 busy months I was in eIran congress ( may - june 2013 and june - july 2013, march-april 2014)
and once I was eIran vMod (feb-march 2014)
and in this month, for my first time, I am honored to be a part of dáil éireann
I believe wherever I go, any responsibility I take, I should do it with highest quality possible.
The reason is clear, if I have accepted a teamwork, if the system which I am a part of it, becomes successful, then actually I am the successful one !!!
I like to share the experience I had in politic in order to improve our beloved Ireland, to improve the system !
This month, while participating in congress I noticed that Irish people communicate in dail through in-game messages !!!
While I had experienced congress all these 3 months in Forum !!!
I would like to discuss a few disadvantages messaging system has in compare to using a forum:
1- A message will be deleted after 14 days and you wont have any archives from your achievements and if a player leaves he destroys all the experience he had while with using a forum we can help us making archives and using them in time of needs.
2- we can not place 40 members of a congress in a message, so we will need 2 messages, maybe someone has an idea that can effect other people thoughts that are in the second message !!!
3- People can not see what is happening in dáil éireann and they should always wait that somebody comes and gives a report. While they can watch exactly what is going on in visible for all section of the forum.
FAQ: It is asked that some congress matters should be kept secret.
Answer: we know it, and we agree, by having a forum we can make 2 sections of visible to people and not visible, so we can achieve both intentions
It is also said that people forget to check the forum while they dont forget to check their messages.
Answer: Through a message everyone can be remembered to check the forum.
So I urge that Ireland should have a forum for herself, after that, I have more experience to share with Irish people but with a forum we can make a neat and correct classification that we need, it would be very hard without a forum.
Let us please our eyes seeing a picture of Ireland coasts and then I will finish my words with another paragraph.
-Ireland Murvagh beach-
I've sent a ticket and asked how is the suitable way of making suggestions to game admins.
They told me there 3 ways, sending ticket, opening a suggestion topic on forum, and publishing an article.
I made suggestion on forum, only If I know there are supporters I will also publish it in articles and also send it as a ticket and will make it's process to the end.
Please take a few minutes and tell me if you agree with me on this political suggestion or not:

Thank you for being with me tonight
I wish you success and joy
Good night my eRep fellows

Always good to see new writers and even better if the articles are interesting. For info, we have a forum somewhere (I'm sure somebody will give the link), but not many people used it.
pray for the day that mystery of lost Forum will be solved 😁

Well done mate o7
the link is in every CP article of mine and Dons ahhh 😃
Hi Shayan
We tried oh so many times, I built one myself, to have a working forum but alas no luck.
The issues surrounding your acceptance are not about you but about the Congressman passing you. We in Congress (should) know the rules and not break them. If we do there are consequences.
I would however welcome you to eIreland and an RL Iranian I would love to hear about your country as, you probably know, we living in RL Ireland get a jaundiced view.
Tá failte romhat 😃
"we living in RL Ireland get a jaundiced view."
Couldn't have said it better.
Well thank you mate 🙂 Sometimes google translate helps 😛
About my country, sure, I will write some traditions and some historical events but whatever I say, people should care who they are dealing with 🙂
For sure everywhere has good and bad people 🙂
By the way If still your Forum runs, would you mind giving me its link?
I guess with help of Daniel Plainvew We can run it again 🙂
Try getting an accurate view of Iran from the US media. Very difficult.
the US media can't even provide an accurate view of the US itself. cunts
How very true Irishbhoy. The US media sucks. Corporations looking for a buck. Truth? Accuracy? Bah. Get it out quick and damn the consequences.
The only group who has a lesser grasp on reality and history are US politicians.
oh nonsense Colby, US politicians know history very well, after all they're the one's that write it. 😛
Raven, writing gives the impression they put some forethought into what they are saying. I think most US politicians just make up stuff with what little they remember from grade school and what view they are pushing at the time.
I also created a forum. It was the University of Ireland and it lasted a short time but for some reason the majority of the current Irish citizenry don't want to use a forum. We used to. But not now for some reason.
Yes, I think the same
the problem is that majority doesnt like to use forum, otherwise advantages of using forum is much more than disadvantages

Forums always start with good intentions, and always lead to bad ends.
There's never going to be enough participation, and you open yourself to the risk of admin abuse. A national forums is just not a project that you should invest any time/energy into, Shayan. It will only lead to disappointment. In the unlikely event it gets off the ground, some drama will cause it to crash and burn. Save yourself the headache, and just avoid that particular pitfall.
Yes my friend
Its a headache, if we want to do it it may take probably one or 2 months to make it a habit for people to check the forum
But many countries use forum, and Its not a disappointment 😛
If others can use, why not we?
Forums disenfranchise the VAST majority of the nation that will never go there. Even the few that sign up will rarely check in. using in-game communication tools ensures that EVERYONE will be able to participate. If you want to have a public discussion, then do what I do... write an article, and ask people to debate the subject in the comment section. Players don't have to register and logging to a third party site to do that. It's simply part of the in-game experience.
The dail threads a a group PM are in-game. If the player is active, they will be able to read and keep up to date. If you want to archive a record, then you can always copy/paste the message at the end of the month. If there is a conversation you want to keep for reference, all you need is a notepad text file.
Forums in the past have had trouble with some of the people that moderate them. Partisan voices should not have the power to shape what people see on the forums because they ban or delete messages from voices they disagree with. At least the moderators here are supposed to be unbiased eRep admins. Unfortunately, even they seem to show favoritism about whom they will and will not enforce the rules against.
You also get our resident trolls signing in as other people just because they are trolls and morons, so they can cause more trouble.
So as it seems your idea goes back to a bad background of what happened in Ireland earlier
And that the thing I can do nothing
As said, it takes time to make it usual for people to check forum, maybe even up to 2 months !!!
about the archive, whoever is in dail thread knows whats going on, their is no need for them to have an archive
archive is for those who werent in previous dails and want to know what happened in past
something is still lingering, we can not put all the people in a message, so every voice is not heard
and about the forum admins you are right
I think we should make a poll, volunteers for being an admin, and put some rules for it, for example, there must be at least 4 admins, and every admin should at least have more than X votes
it something that needs a debate to look for rules that we can stop admins from abusing their power
Welcome. 🙂
The guy who approved you was banned for multiple accounts not for approving your citizenship.
http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/7954176
I know 😃
Approving citizenship will never lead a ban 🙂 It was just a joking 🙂
Thank you for spending time and reading my article friend 🙂
Welcome to Ireland buddy, I hope you'll enjoy your stay. Remember, everyone in Ireland is a lying piece of shit when it comes to politics so make up your own mind and don't believe a word anyone else says.
Yes Sire o7
Thanks for advice 🙂
except for me, I'm a piece of pie 😛
hahahaha
Wise advice, but remember the last major deed of the person giving the advice....
Chewie for eUK CP 😃
I am of course no exception to that rule, I'm probably the worst of us all actually. 😉
Welcome to eIreland. I look forward to seeing you grow with us, and it would be very nice to see articles about your RL homeland.
Erin go Bragh
Thank you my friend 🙂
Welcome to the country buddy
Thanks mate 🙂
Politics here can be somewhat of a contact sport.
Just remember to wear a helmet and you will do fine.
I suspect several people around here forgot to wear a helmet when necessary.
Once again, welcome to the community. 😛
Something to understand with the forum idea. There are advantages and disadvantages of using it. Overall it's great. But most of the players here don't want to go to an external site, which is why so many of the smaller nations' IRC channels are becoming less and less active. That's the primary reason why nobody ever goes to the countless forums that have been setup over the years, despite the advantages.
voted. o/
No one makes a denial on disadvantages
But I am sure advantages are more 😛
after one or two months of remembering people to check the forum, checking forum becomes a habit.
An I think the main problem is people just doest like to check it
Opening a new tab in the browser isnt a hard work, nor time taking
They are just resisting to change 🙂
Thank you for your welcome, once again 😛
voted, indeed, in every country i have been forums are an issue, as they really don't have effectiveness in-game, people dont respect whatever rules there are, or they make up rules that are too ridiculous to take in. And the poor forums go dead after a while, it is sad. Maybe a Google group? I really don't know.
But welcome to eIreland! 😃
Thanks, I hope Ican help eIReland beside you guys 🙂
well mate, in eIran it is not like that
we discuss things, and people usually come to check forum, we make additional laws that are needed, we apply them and It is working really well
I have to say that forum is more better than the game 😃
Indeed, Spain also has a good forum life, even though it sometimes becomes de eInquisition. hehehe!
In Mexico we had a huge and really old forum that (before I played) was active and then became kind of dead. Congress people would really be the only ones using it, but it was active still, then congress went through a strong political fight, and they ended up starting a new forum and killing the old one... and since then, no forum has worked. It is a bit sad, the effort and info of so many players basically disappeared into cyber-vacuum.
Take good care of you Iranian forums. 🙂
In the case of Ireland, it seems people here like their news, the media module has rather varied things to offer. 🙂 I Think that is how people keep community going one and rather well, I should say.
The reason forums aren't popular is that eIreland forum admins (ie other players here) have used real life IP addresses and email/pswrd combos to hack ingame accounts, RL emails and disclose peoples location info on IRC etc
Dead citizens are still revived every election day using the same trick.
really? stealing accounts??
A really bad thing ! 😃
