A. The Situation
Over the past couple days or so, there has been much talk about the appointment of the new ambassador, Keve69, to our bros the eUSA. I will say this about the situation, I fully stand by the decision made to fire TFD and hire Keve69. This has nothing to do with experience, but I will get to that later. My problem with those who attacked him and his appointment is that they don't know him.
I know it seems odd to put a 8 day old citizen in such a position, but think about this; the USA are our closest allies. Whenever any member of government of either needs something we speak directly to that person. For example, when we discussed war strategy in regards to France, I spoke directly to HarrisonRichardson, their president. I did not speak to their ambassador, nothing against him is a competent and hard working person, rather I know how good our relationship is with them so without hesitation I go over to their IRC to chat or ask as they do the same for us. This is just the relationship we have with them.
So why not put someone new into such a role? Well I did. If you have a problem come talk to me. The reason why I put him there, well it would be the easiest roll to fill, as it was empty.
B. Why I fired TFD
Many think I'm crazy for this. That is your opinion and that's fine. He answered roll call, yes. He was active in USA forums, yes. But was he active in ours, no.
You might say so what that's not enough. Wrong, being an ambassador requires you to do all three. And for the 9 months that TFD was ambassador to the US he never once created a report for in our forums. Did I send him a PM, no, but I accept the blame for the way I handled this. It was me. But you know what, that's okay we move on. However, I also had planned that TFD be our ambassador to the Brolliance because of his experience, he rightfully declined, that is his choice.
C. Why I Hired Keve69
It is important to remember that any player can be an ambassador for eCanada as long as they follow our system and rules. Be a Canadian citizen, active in our forums and active in-game. Let me tell you a story. I was once that young player who was appointed to become an ambassador. Did people freak out no. Why, I can't tell you. However here I am now, MoFA for eCanada and let me tell had I not been chosen/asked to become an ambassador I would stopped playing. People forget that our ambassador program is the best in the New World because we teach and help our ambassadors no matter how experienced they are. It is a program that allows those who want to enter the political side of the game enter it, but don't know how to. We always have someone to help them whenever they need it.
D. Closing Remarks
So if you truly have a problem with it, then too bad suck it up. Come talk to me on IRC I'll be glad to listen to your rants just be ready for mine. I stand by my decision and don't regret it at all.

it was never required to post in the ecan forums.
not in the 9 months you think i've had the job and not in the year i have actually done it.
funny how there was never a problem with the forum reports in a whole year but as soon as this administration figures just one more way it can screw me over as if the last election attacks weren't enough you stumble upon it.
i made in game reports - of which nobody in MoFA ever bothered to comment on.
you only offered me that brolliance job today - AFTER you screwed me to repair optics for yourself
i want nothing to do with this administration - period
and god help us all if you ever have to impeach fram cuz i want nothing to do with the lot of you lying snakes
you know where you can shove your back pedaling optic repair job, don't you?
hint: it's dark
tfd=truth
Perhaps this administration is more efficent and less lax than others?
did somebody say mcdonalds?
Impeach KyleDR!
lmao @ "god help us all"
OH NOES WE CAN'T HAVE OUR TFD!!!!!!!
The world will surely end!
Someone got a dose of too much power...
I really can't say that I understand your reasoning behind this.
What I really don't get, is your point about how you are able to just bypass everything and go straight to their president. If we went about it that way, why would we even need an ambassador to the eUSA at all?
You do realize, that by removing a well-established player as ambassador, and just throwing a random unknown "because it's the easiest to fill" puts a very bad light on our relationship with the eUSA? Shows how much you care about them, huh?
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for letting new players get involved. That's brilliant. However, your reasoning behind putting him into that position is absolutely terrible. I'm sorry.
"Lol, I'm to blame for it. Let me just fire TFD, and move on. Lolol."
gg
Can we impeach ministers?

No you cannot impeach a minister, a prime minister can fire ministers.
@TF😨 Did I fail for not firing you when this started to be an issue? Yes it might of. I just say that you are crying over spilt milk. It is the MoFA's decision to let ambassadors go. As John Donne said, "😉on't ask for whom the bell tolls, for the bell tolls for thee." You are like a Disney brat. You are going to be out of a job as soon as you get knocked up or hit puberty. What I am trying to say is game over. Happy Pacman Anniversay!
"So if you truly have a problem with it, then too bad suck it up. Come talk to me on IRC I'll be glad to listen to your rants just be ready for mine."
I'm spending a lot of time preparing a clean campaign, I like my odds when the sitting government makes statements like this.
Thank you for the update, KyleDr. Some of us were wondering why the recent hiring and firing was necessary. No doubt you are doing your finest and have the best intentions. It just sucks when administrative paperwork impacts the gaming world.
Hello TFD, not sure what that video is about, but we seem to havea problem here. Did you see the memo about this?

AR1ARX, you claim that the job of an ambassador is to communicate between the two countires Canada and their selected country or countries. Tyler did not fail at the country selected, he failed to report any questions/concerns in a report. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO KNOW ANYTHING THAT CAME UP ABOUT US. As Kyle has stated, Tyler did not post anywhere on the MoFA forum except during the roll calls. Therefore, Tyler did not complete his duty, therefore according to you, he deserved to lose his job!
And if you are wondering, I was the MoFA who hired TFD and I was the one who introduced the system if you start shouting that I know nothing.
Actually, Duke Leto, I never said that. In fact, if you read carefully, you'll see I said the exact opposite was the case in the US. Try re-reading my second and third paragraphs. Here's the summary.
I said that KyleDr failed to define a mandate for the position, since KyleDr's all proud he can just jump onto IRC and contact the US President directly.
I said that KyleDr failed to set the proper expectations with Tyler, since they did not have a meeting of the minds in regards to what exactly Tyler's responsibilities were.
Duke Leto, you should re-read KyleDr's point about the special relationship between us and the US. The US would do what Kyle does, just go straight to our leader. So what you capitalised, that is by KyleDr's own words, exactly not what the ambassador to the US was needed for.
See why KyleDr's such an incompetent manager? He gave the US ambassador no responsibility, no direction, set no expectations. Tyler manned the post with distinction. You can try to blame Tyler, but Tyler carried our flag in the US forums, with top US players, with their citizenry. KyleDr certainly made it clear that the ambassador was not needed for reporting concerns and questions, and definitely not for raising issues. So how can you claim Tyler did not complete his duty?
I'm sure you're proud of your past history, Duke Leto, and while I certainly wouldn't say you know nothing, in this case, I'd say the basis of your argument against my points, and against Tyler's actions and performance, certainly is. How you can sit there and watch and defend KyleDr as he disgraces the Ministry you once led is quite simply, beyond me.
Cheers,
AR1ARX
Duke Leto, Sara Droz and Kyledr had a whole YEAR to convey these expectations to me. The whole time I ran articles in game for THE WHOLE COUNTRY to participate in - the ONLY Ambassador that did this - EVER.
Did ANY MoFA bother to comment?
It's not like my articles don't go Top 5 - you can't miss them unless you're blind.
DO you fire a worker for not doing a job that you never told him he had to do? My embassy was the MOST active of ALL in the US Forums.
Did ANY of you drop in EVER?
No.
Was any message EVER asked to be passed on via the embassy?
No. NEVER.
You NEVER even use the diplomatic channels because the MoFAs just talk amongst each other, completely bypassing the ambassadorial system altogether. So saying that you required "reports" to do your job as MoFA is utter trash and everyone knows it.
The complete lack of class which this FA dept has just shown the USA is an absolute disgrace and is unparalleled in my year of playing this game.
If you ran a business like you 3 have run the FA department you'd be bankrupt.
Bankrupt and nobody will work for you.
\o/
Tyler are you sure you didn't have any "Motivation Problems?" Maybe you could indulge us with a little more by walking us through a typical day for you as Ambassador for the eUSA.

To quote that clip: "Good luck with your lay-offs. I hope your firings go really well."
In case that gets misinterpreted, I think this issue comes down to a series of miscommunications, probably on both sides of the table. You guys gotta do a sit-down and hash things out.
Actually Plugson, the only thing I didn't drop my activity level in was the US Embassy.
Nobody knows that cuz nobody checks it.
I never received a single PM from ANYONE about ANYTHING about ANY of this - I found out when I logged on 2 days ago to find that these snakes had written the POTUS (Yes, they went to the goddamn POTUS) to lock my embassy thread.
Didn't write to me but bothered the POTUS with a pee-on task.
Mhmm
I like this article, it's well written and conveys its point well. I agree with you Kyle, it is neccessary to give Keve a chance 🙂
