Dear Citizens and Friends of eIreland,
Things have been quiet around The Irish Community this last week. In line with CT’s election manifesto, the Department of Community has been absorbed into the new Department of State which will take over the running of a number of the smaller Ministries. Unfortunately, the setting up of the shiny new Department of State Org & Newspaper is taking longer than expected, so here we are again keeping the show on the road for now.
Irish Army Fundraiser
Over at the Department of Defence, work is underway to effect a fundamental reform of the structure of eIreland’s Armed Forces and to improve material support to our fighters. The DoD is investing in its companies and upgrading to higher quality produce as part of this programme. To play its part, The Irish Community is making an appeal to all citizens to support this effort by donating what you can to the Irish State Industries Org, which has been set aside for the purpose of funding these changes. Seanan tells me that around 100G will be needed, so please do your bit.
The eIrish Lottery
The next draw takes place on Wednesday 19th January- here's how to play:
Donate 5iep to this Org and PM your chosen number between 1 and 45.
If you don’t PM with a number it will be assumed the money is a no strings donation to the Org, so please PM!
A maximum of five numbers per person, including tickets from a person’s Org. If purchasing tickets via an Org, please identify your citizen account in your PM.
As with the last draw, we will use the RL Irish National Lottery game, Lotto, to select the winner(s). The first ball drawn is the winning number. If there is no match, we move on to the second ball, and so on. In the event there is no winner after all six balls & bonus ball have been drawn, the prize fund rolls over to the following draw.
Entries close at 0000hrs on Day 1156, (0800hrs on Wednesday, January 19th RL Irish time). The draw takes place later that evening, 1957hrs RL Irish time. Donations received after the closing date will be entered into the following draw.
A big thank you to Dubhthaigh who has kindly sponsored the lottery jackpot to the tune of 150iep!
The eIreland Community Awards
It’s that time again when the great and good are recognised for their contribution to eIrish life. Please PM your choices for December 2010 to this Org. The categories are outlined below and please try to nominate in all of them. If you can't, it's fine, but please try. Nominations in one category only are frowned upon but permitted, self-nominations are discouraged but allowed.
Most Trusted Politician
Who of the current or recent TDs/Ministers etc. stands out to you as having fulfilled their campaign promises? Who's been honest and upfront? Who's served eIreland before themselves?
Most Acclaimed Publisher
Whose articles do you never fail to read? Who keeps you informed or entertained, who gets you thinking or explains things you might not have understood nice and clearly? Maybe they do all of the above.
Most Celebrated Soldier
Which of our soldiers stands out to you as one who should be applauded? Maybe they're a great leader, a tireless fighter - maybe they're both.
Best General Manager
Whose company/companies are always well stocked with raw materials? Maybe they stand out for another reason - do they offer any perks you couldn't get elsewhere, or are the wages generous? If you think a general manager deserves praise here's your chance to give it to them.
Newcomer to Watch
Who, three eMonths old or younger, has already made an impression? Are they getting involved already, making their voice heard? Nominate them here.
Irelander of the Month
This can be anyone, for any reason. One Irish citizen who stands out to you as deserving of an award. Maybe they're a trusted poltician, and a great manager, and many other things... maybe they've helped you out when times were hard, or worked hard for the nation. Whoever and for whatever reason this is your chance to get them the attention they deserve. For this category a brief explanation of why you're nominating them would be greatly appreciated.
Loveable Rogue
They're mischief but you love them anyway, or they stir the pot without actually doing harm. Does this sound like someone you know? Please nominate them for this one.
Lifetime Achievement Award
Similar to Irelander of the month but nominees for this award should be people who throughout their eLives have stood out. They may not have constantly held positions of power but maybe they always were there to help you, maybe they turned your political party around, maybe they mentored you to greatness but all this over the longer term. All nominees for this award should have a citizen account at least four months old as of the day nominations open. Prior winners may not be nominated again. That Pantheon includes Nithraldur, Nogin the Nog, Moomoohead, Anaille Kolshire, and 5n4keyes.
Nominations should be sent to this account as soon as possible but definitely before Day 1156.
Please vote & sub this article, and friend this Org.
Yours,
James Keiller
