The Facade of Democracy
The Irish William Wallace
Yesterday, during my honorable campaign, made it evident that certain upper stratas of eIreland's #1 political party are in control of elections and will go to any lengths to deter democratic processes. I would like to thank the 36% who voted for me and were unswayed by those in the party who wish to impose their narrow-minded views on their own so-called "independent minded" membership. Next election, let's prove that YOU cannot be silenced, WE SHALL OVERCOME the forces of fascism!
Tactics that were used against me:
1) Senior members used the shoutbox to slander me and speculate on my intentions
2) A PM (private message) was sent to all members not to vote for me
3) It is unknown who, but two of my campaign articles got deleted and one of which was deleted for no reason -suspicious-
This type of harassment is not democracy, it is Old Regime 'democracy' where not only are you told who to vote for, but the opposing candidate is harassed and attacked on multiple fronts.
EA, I'm here to stay. Fear and harassment won't make me go away. Keep betraying your ideals and I will seize next election day!

So what will be your fourth name?😛
i didnt see any of this. wtf you talkin' 'bout Willis?
Well both my articles were deleted, so I was silenced. EA has kept silent about its actions taken against me, though me and my supporters experienced this harassment. They only wanted one candidate for PP and since I ran against him they did everything to sway their own "independent" voters to vote for the candidate they wanted. It was quite shameful for a "democratic" party to harass other candidates.
Oh, I see. Were you always in that party? Or did you just move there for elections?
I moved there to stay for many months, though I did move there before election time. Suspicious, yes, but I'm just ambitious. Vicious, EA's claims are fictitious. Only speculation, lost in translation, my candidacy was to prevent stagnation and promote cooperation for people who want some salvation and political liberation.
And is that what the membership in that party want? Are they unhappy with it, and invited you in?
Apparently 36% wanted it. Like every good cause, it has little support, but it will grow to flourish whether the fascist party leadership wants it or not.
Apparently those 36% are guests from other parties or those you've tried to bribe.
That is speculation and no, I am sorry but if anyone joined it was 1-2 AT MOST. I watched the party membership and it hasn't moved at all. I didn't bribe ordinary players, I only encouraged them. Blame the players not me. I am sorry but EA didn't rise 11 people in membership yesterday. BOOM!
When a player join the party just to vote and then leave the number of members stays the same. That's exactly what you did. Because noone from EA don't want you as PP. BOOM
An accused person who responds with the word 'speculation' is always guilty.

Is this what you consider good democracy Bane? Senior members of the party are entitled to voice their opinion on your candidacy, and given your tactics of bribery I'd say they were well founded in their caution.
I had to do something counter your gestapo-eque tactics so what is better than good old capitalist bribery, appealing to greed? They did not take it, so no wrong was done. The act of offering a bribe is merely that of a gift in return for a favor. 🙂
esque*
You did it before anyone from EA did anything. Stop bullshit.
No sir, my actions manifested more and more radically based on the levels of harassment that I took. Once the shoutbox were used against me along with abuse of the admins, bribing seemed not that big of a deal and it isn't. Politics beach
I guess in your world, free speech is fascist, bribery is democracy, and deleting your articles and comments is transparency.
Did Orwell write you?
Free speech? You mean slander. Gift giving and favors are natural. Deleting my articles were a step too far especially when the admin gave no reason for deleting one of them. That was injustice and I got a FP for it.
Can you provide a proof that your article was deleted by Admin?

That was for a campaign article. They gave no content info, nothing, they did not even specify what I did.
I don't think there was anything in your articles that deserved to be deleted by the admin. And I don't think anyone in EA has the power to arbitrarily get articles deleted.
My suspicion is that you deleted them yourself because they contained comments that could be used against you, and so that you could accuse us of getting them deleted.
Then you accused us of not being transparent, I guess because we weren't campaigning on our public shout feeds and making a big deal out of you. The relevant audience should be the EA shout feed, or so you would think unless you were looking for support outside of EA's members...
So you tell us we're not transparent, then delete your own articles and comments. Cool story brah.
Ian, trust me, I wouldn't delete my own article. I was super pissed when that 2nd article got deleted. I could understand the first one, but the 2nd one crossed the line and they gave no reasoning for it or even had the curtsy to display content info.

K, assuming the admin really did delete your articles then, which I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on, seems to me they made a mistake because I don't recall anything explicit about them.
Can't remember exactly anymore, but if you were still on about this fascist gestapo nonsense in one of those articles, that might be enough to get you censored in some european countries. An overreaction in my liberal view, but not unthinkable.
Nope, that article was purely campaigning. I made sure to not write any swears, insults, nothing. After my first article got deleted I was determined to write one that wouldn't and it did. That is why I felt so harassed and completely targeted. :/

This is what was going on in our feed. I don't see any slander or abuse, and anyone is free to join and leave EA to have a look at our feed in full.
In the context where you joined the day before, called our members orcs, and were bribing publicly for votes and to try and get rid of the only other candidates, I don't think anything was said that wasn't a) true and b) a fair reaction to all the signs of a hostile take over.
No one is trying to bully or abuse you, we're just trying to protect our party - which since it was founded in March 2011, has been under this same kind of bullshit threat more times than I can remember.
I never called you guys orcs 😛 that is Krakman and the Kurgan. Protect your party from what? An actual PP race?
We don't engineer our pp races Mike. It wasn't until someone told me that you were running that I even realized we only had one candidate, or that Rafaia was that one candidate.
On the other hand, I personally consider it important who is president. It needs to be someone who's active and actually cares about the party - because, as a large party, we do have set ways designed to keep the party as operating according to the whims of the president.
We rank our candidates during congress elections, to prevent the president from having 100% power to implement their own bias - as an example.
We have a tradition of not giving political support to any Cp candidate other than out of necessity if one of our own members happen to be running.
We want a president who views the roll as a duty, rather than a set of privileges to wave around.
Honestly, the reason we only had one candidate, is probably because our members are not very politically minded. They don't generally care about being elected, and they don't put much value into elections for their own sake. We're more interested in the other aspects of the game - and elections and political races are simply a means to a greater end.
Now what were we trying to protect all of that against? Quite frankly, you. You, who in his last presidency, when we were a much smaller party, showed a clear lack of respect for all of our traditions, history, and values. You, who deserve some caution, because you only very recently left ilp, after this whole scandal where you were submitting false responses to a government survey - and prominent members of the ilp did not condone those actions. You, who shows signs of contempt toward certain prominent members of EA, giving you a motive to sabotage something you realize they value. You, who used hostile take-over tactics, like bribery, propaganda aimed at two-clickers, and attempting to take advantage of a sparse election field.
That's what we were protecting EA from.
I will only say this; it isn't just me who wants this to happen to EA - I was put up to it by certain members in other prominent parties such as SUI. I will let you figure that one out though 😉
http://i42.tinypic.com/15f6s5i.png
I don't think that SUI would use you as their agent. You want to choose someone who isn't known to give away all their secrets at the drop of a hat.
"I was put up to it by certain members in other prominent parties such as SUI"
Pathetic Mike, and you won't sell any of that crap here
But EA is part of the orcs. Havent you guys received the memo from Kurgan yet. Also I see usual "democracy" that is found in most Irish parties although I have never been member of ILP. As usual a person who is not approved is giving the cold shoulder and must suffer the untruthful and negative propaganda of senior members. Junior orcs of EA must know this it is not about you exercising your right its about you doing what they say. Given the same situation campaigning should have been objective. You could ask Mikebane to not offer gold to members or say indeed you do not condone his actions but not to not vote for him that is indeed undemocratic.
Ian you as IA commander kicked a loyal irish citizen coz he spoke agqinst traitors within IA.
You Ian as CP banned the same loyal irish citizen from MoD and MoC events coz he dared to speak for irish honour and pride.
And lets not forget you sold louth back to british after true irish partiots liberated ireland....
and we all know it was not you and your government that liberated ireland since you and your government were screaming for month it is impossible to defeat british in battle....IMPOSSIBLE!
So in short Ian...within a month you spit on everything you claim to belive...

Very democratic and honourable from you Mike Bane 🙂
It only shows you're half re-re for not voting for me 😉
It shows I'm honourable and you aren't.
I hate nothing more then liar and those who accuse others for what they actually do. If you call EA fascist then you're bigger fascist according to print screens Ian posted above. I hate this hypocritism...you will complain again why everyone hate you and in this article you can see clear reason..
Lol'd at your hypocrite pictures in this article too. You played dirty campaign and there wasn't anything honourable in it.
You have chosen your side. 🙂

I didn't had much choice. When it comes to choose between honour and dishonour I always choose first.
You will cry later why people hate you, and actually they hate you because you're such weak as a person.
I am with you there anyone who want to make a numpty such as yourself again CP should check into some kind of institution asap.
mufc did you pay your debts to those mercenaries?
didnt you run awaz from ireland and changed account to avoid paying?
Talking about honour Don Croata...IBhoy wannabe.....cant even be original
What mercenaries? I didn't even hire MEK if you think about them...
You was accused for that......and then you escaped from Ireland and changed your account......
Kokosar....
I hope noone is stupid enough to get fooled by article such as this one from the guy who sent those PM's Ian provided above.
Gonna go cry now :'( boohoo Don isn't muh best fran
He didnt name himself Don Cretin for nothing.
Well that escalated quickly..
I'm gonna miss this.
You won't if you don't leave...please don't leave 🙁
