Brother Krakkens pearls of wisdom

Day 2,631, 02:20 • Published in Ireland Ireland • by Releasethe Krakken

Don Croata in an obvious ploy to get more brownie points from the orcs came up with a few gems.

Being Negative on full financials and transparency

We went down from 3.4 million to about 1.9 million. 2 Mof's mysteriously disappeared out of the public eye.

Despite this politicians still advocate closed books. Even after Nogin said full financials would be made available each month to party leaders.

Nogin however to be fair did make it available.

If you dont belief that each and every month we should know what is going on in our finances you should not be running for higher office and be involved in our leadership structure.

All other theories have been dis proven by Montenegro and China.

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?

Trade Embargoes


Trade Embargoes is the idiot stick. Any nation that passes the bill eats their cereal from the bottom of the box.

We are small therefore the trade on our market is of such a minimal nature nobody will buy a license from us. So blocking poland from placing offers on the Irish market have zero influence. Also when did we decide Poland is enemy number 1 and why. On the other hand Poland is a big market so a player could potentially benefit from placing offers on their already big market. So he might buy a license to trade there said license now null and void for a month. His lack of trade wont hurt the polish market. But it hurts him a player from Ireland.

So this brings us to a serious error in judgment. Some numbskull from Chile or wherever decides Poland should get a "Trade Embargo" There is no debate and this is expected from us to implement "without question"



If the congress have to decide an issue. The congress should have the right to debate it.

Circumventing this is quite easy also Person can just go to other country and buy straight on their market. And even lack of competition and subsequent higher demand means better prices for them.

Misusing the UNITY concept

A unit , teamwork etc. In a democracy all this means is that we should all work towards a similar goal and treat each other with the same respect we expect from others. Implying that any issue is not open for debate should be seriously motivated. Trade embargo was simply not as well conceived and really had zero impact and urgency. The NE and subsequent wars had a time factor (which we managed) and that left zero time for debate. It was well motivated , had high urgency and was of extreme importance. We also had zero alternatives except staying put on 1 WRM bonus. There we can agree there was no real reason for debate.

We should discuss issues. We should differ and use debating and democracy to come to a decision which we consider in the best interest of Ireland.

Unity only means goals that we can achieve using a democratic system where decisions is probably vetted.

Tar and feathering

This was an unusual punishment where a person was first tarred all over his body and then feathers was thrown over it. It was once used in Carnivale.

This attacks on Colin Fox and the ILP must stop. Creating small groups with vested interest is more dangerous than anything the ILP or Colin Fox can do or say.



Collectivism or exclusiveness , us and them , is a dangerous breeding ground.

If we differ we become them. WHILST THE US is raised and treated on a level better than them.

In this setup the weak(low level players /new players with little financial activity) is swayed and swept into a thought pattern where its no longer ireland's interest that is promoted but the us or the small echelon or "chosen" ones.

We can see how this lead to our treasury being destroyed for the utilisation and self interest of a very small group.

How our armies fight at subpar levels due to 1 MU being promoted and stocked whilst others is proudly portrayed as self efficient to deter smaller MU's.

People no longer caring to ask for supplies does not mean your MU'S self efficient it just means your activity is at such a low level nobody is caring anymore to ask.

Or frustrated to such a level that they no longer bother.

External Forums and Collective Silence.

Problem with external forums is your trying to channel discussion outside of the game. Your making in game articles disappear . Your making group PM's disappear. A new player wants to learn ingame. At first his activity level might be very low unless he is exposed to articles and in game activities. Your basically killing of eIreland with no real benefits.

Warning people against trolls be it in party MU or through articles means even less activity means our killing of eIreland as boredom really leads to death in an online game.

Nurture activity of any kind be it trolling whatever.
