14 Day 372, 00:57 Ireland
As spokeman of Fianna Fail i'm here to answer the recent accusations.

Niamh82 and me coordinated more than 40 votes in a little time ( through PM and istant messaging ).
I was not even online yesterday most of the time.

I don't think i own explanation to someone, but for your information many candidates and voters from Fianna Fail are people working with me in RL.

Some others are my friends in real ( like Niamh82 ).

I'm glad our War Machine worked so fine.

It's not my fault IF and IUP votes went mostly to Collins, Inquitus and Igor.

It's not my fault other party weren't so coordinated as we were.
U could ask most party members and they could answer u we had a lot of messaging during the past days to decide voting strategies.

But again... i think it's not my fault to use Erepublik Message and Istant Messaging for communicationg my party members.

Many of you know i have use MSN and Yahoo intesively.

Manu of you know i have a lot of internationl contacts.

Maybe someone of you noticed i have among others, president of USA, Canada, Italy, Romania, Cristi and George ( so people from both Atlantis and PEACE, far older than me who are not likely to be my puppies ).

In this elections we got support from very old members ( like kheops or blackxs for instance ).

The Uni members too provided some help.

Don't blame Fianna Fail fro being able to create alliances and coordinate its effort.

Just try to do better at next elections

Romanian from former Ireland Reborn are not in Ireland anymore. Maybe some of you noticed they all migrated to Austria. So we didn't get real Romanian support.

Amroth1978, the other influencial former IR run in another party at all... ( ireland first...)

As a bottom line, there was a moment when most people experienced a voting bug.
When the bug was solved i sent a message to all people to vote.
At that time there was a voting peak.

Several of your members who registered on the forums have the same IP. If that is the case and it is the same ingame it's a violation of the TOS.

Once a cheat always a cheat eh Andre?

Anyways you lack a Majority in Congress, ergo you wield no power whatsoever without carrying one of the other parties, so it's no drama anyways.

@inquitus : we never wanted the majority. we just wanted to place as much congressmen as possible, as i think, every other party did

You are not allowed multiple accounts on one IP, you and your co-workers share the same IP, whether you are the same people or different people it violates the terms of service, and is defacto cheating.

our big advantage is the good personal connection FF holds to its members,
we are just the first ones that "really understood" how this election system works, no cheating at all, just smart people

People are not allowed multiple accounts on one IP. As Andre says some of his work colleagues are in FF and voting, that is a violation of the TOS and is cheating.

IF, they are collleagues then the same IP can be explained, I mean I have played online games with my workmates and we prolly had the same visible IP...Anyways congrats to FF for getting the system. Maybe next time other parties will have to coordinate their efforts a bit more

Inquitus: hmm, the TOS doesn't said that two or more
people are not allowed accounts on a single IP, it just says this "3.5. An user can create and administrate a single Erepublik account" and this "2.2. All the users of Erepublik can create content on the site. Therefore there are some rules to be followed regarding this. You must NOT: - use profanity or obscenities of any kind, even disguised with asterisks;- create multiple accounts"

As mentioned many times over here, the voting peak was a result of the voting bug and good communication within FF. And please be a little more mature than to blame "multiple IP's" as the only reason one might get a number of votes. It might have been something if there had not been a valid reason behind. Again as mentioned we did not get the majority.

Yours
The Fallen
