Voted! You tell em'

I was wondering this and found it very odd that no address has been made ?

Say a few words to your people Magic 😁

Voted. Inactivity not a good start.

Pre-election when he was spamming everyone's mail boxes I sent him a question back - never got a response...

As per comments on the forums, he seems to just be the figurehead while the usual people pull the strings from behind...

Inactive CP get some people together ten Re needed i think and purpose an impeachment you have good grounds for one

It's been 3 days. I'd guess you'll see something soon.

Wow! A day and a half since the vote was verified. I'm surprised you've waited this long...

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that he beat the candidate you supported... absolutely nothing at all...

Nothing to do with the fact he may have beaten the candidate he was supporting. Although it has been"a day and a half since the vote was verified", peope have acknoweldged his winning for longer. At very least you'd have expected some sort of correspondance even if it is to thank people for voting for him etc and he hoped to do well etc... The fact is, there has been a complete silence. Surely his "advisers" in the TUP have advised him it is traditional to do an opening speech?

As I said above, he was happy to be vocal and spam our mailboxes asking for votes, but has no interest in interacting beyond that....

Hmm... I can smell sour grapes... and I sense spinning, lot's of spinning... and not a whirling dervish in sight!

I would have expected to hear from whoever was the winning candidate in game by now, you have to admit Douglas that it does seem odd, considering how active both candidates were in the run up. The silence is deafening.

He's one of the most active CPs I've seen. Has anyone bothered to PM him and ask for an in game address? My guess is no, you'd rather go for the crap PR stunt that suits your politics, and it's a shame.

Has he openly addressed the public? There has been nothing from him in-game and his only activity since election has been in the Privatising the NHS and Congress Leader threads. Again, for someone who's election was hotly contested and widely opposed, it would seem prudent that he do his best to gain public approval.

It's funny how those within the TUP/ESO call it sour grapes if you complain about their candidate. They had to cheat to get him elected in the first place by getting one of theirs to stand using a 2 person party (to split the vote), and then she immediately went back to ESO after the election.

It's not sour grapes to want the UK to do well and to get a decent PM and Government, it's called being a patriot. So do your job or stand down and let someone else do it.

Lol wut? I think you need to learn the game a bit more before commenting Solytix. You're way off.

I'll say again, if you want something from him, PM him and ask for it.

@Solyfix - You really are living in cloud cuckoo land. Firstly, it's not cheating. Secondly, many parties have used this method, as the game mechanics only allow 5 candidates (sponsored by parties) to stand. Lastly, the person whom it would have hit the most, would have been our new CP, as it would have drawn ESO votes away from him. Try thinking before posting your next partisan comment. It helps.

There's so much spinning & kneejerking going on here, it's like visiting an epilepsy ward

3 Days now and still nothing.

Actually ESO/TUP are the largest Douglas so it wouldn't have hit your main candidate because he's likely to get the most votes, it would hit someone without the backing of the two largest. That is actually obvious. Rather than talking crap why don't you wake up the guy you cheated to get 'into power' and get him to do something useful.

It's not cloud cuckoo land, it's unfortunately a game populated by cheats.

He is active on the forums, though the congress floor has had a few toys thrown from the pram into it by our new CP a couple of times. I also have a feeling his manifesto was so brief in his mind that he is expecting Congress to fill in the blanks that he doesn't know how to fill.

"Secondly, many parties have used this method, as the game mechanics only allow 5 candidates (sponsored by parties) to stand"

So, you wanted to limit the number of candidates even more then by putting a 2nd candidate in? Is that what you're admitting? Because what you wrote doesn't explain why a second candidate of yours was contesting that election, it's like you started writing and then forgot what you wanted to say. She left ESO, became a candidate elsewhere, then went back to ESO. Simple.

@Solytix - I'm not a member of ESO, so I have no idea what the thinking was, or even if Elle had official ESO approval. As for it's effect, my point stands. The person who would have been hit the most would have been the candidate officially backed by the ESO. It's not too difficult to understand, for heavens sake. Most of the people voting for her would have been ESO. If she hadn't stood, most of those votes would have, almost certainly, gone to the candidate officially backed by the ESO.

Try to imagine if the ESO hadn't supported the TUP candidate and had put up their own official candidate. It would have resulted in a lot fewer votes for the TUP candidate and probably a 3 way battle. An unofficial ESO candidate had the same type of effect but on a much smaller scale.

To those from ESO, who haven't followed the whole thread, I recognise that Elle had every right to stand and did nothing illegal. It's this idiot above who doesn't seem able to grasp the simple facts.

@Douglas You used to be in PCP so I would've thought you'd like to see a PCP CP, albeit supported by UKPP. Did you join TUP just for the food handouts?

ESO/TUP - Official candidate. ESO other candidate. Main candidate gets ESO/TUP votes, other candidate has party with funny sounding name so for a laugh voters give that funny one their votes. Not all ESO supported that party so votes not taken from ESO/TUP cand. ESO and TUP large enough to give 2nd candidate small number of votes to make her appear legit, whilst also supporting the main candidate.

She was there to split the non-ESO/TUP votes. It's obvious. I could see it before the election!

@Neil - I have never been a member of the PCP. I have only ever been a member of the TUP and have never received 'food handouts' from them. Thanks for the totally unjustified slur, though. Were you lying outright, or was it merely ignorance that caused your 'mistake'? ; )

@Solytix - you obviously know little of the history between the TUP and ESO. lol

So I'm an idiot just for speaking up about cheating? It's just like someone who has done something wrong (ie cheating) to resort to insults.

TUP and ESO cheated, they put up a 2nd candidate who pretended to be a non-ESO candidate. She stood for a different party that has only 2 members. And immediately after the election, went back to ESO. They cheated. She misrepresented herself for a start (pretending to not be ESO for the election period).

Douglas. You're the idiot

@ Talon "He's one of the most active CPs I've seen. Has anyone bothered to PM him and ask for an in game address? My guess is no, you'd rather go for the crap PR stunt that suits your politics, and it's a shame."

I have never in my life thought to contact the rl PM of a country to ask if he would do a thank you address. It's called common decency to address the country you are representing immediately after the result is verified.

voted , good work

Still, I don't understand Elle Roslin "movement".

Douglas McKeever you really do need to do some anger management. You are getting very upset at something so trivial in a game. Will you be involved in the new government by any chance?

She stood in the elections as a member of the Boobs Lovers Party, even though she's a member of ESO, and immediately after the election she went back to ESO. Obvious cheating to split votes of the other (non-ESO/TUP) candidates.

@ Talon
He's one of the most active CPs I've seen. Has anyone bothered to PM him and ask for an in game address? My guess is no, you'd rather go for the crap PR stunt that suits your politics, and it's a shame.

LOL are you joking ?I put this to you now YOUR ALL TRAITOR'S TO THIS COUNTRY What has this country got after years of TUP power NOTHING this country is JOKE no money , no planning , selfish people in charge I'm sick of it listen to all your bullshit and lies, this country is weak

sorry Douglas I swear I saw PCP on your profile .. your avatar certainly looks far-left wing

One day this country will become Strong and Mighty

Without the help of TUP

How dare everyone critisise Magic Hereos for his lack of communication! Don't anyone understand that he has much more important things to do such as making the eUK the greatest country ever rather than have time to speak to the rest of us mere non-TUP mortals...????

and here's my analysis of the result:

If you look at the vote percentages on party-lines for the 2 main candidates you see that Magic Hereos got 279 out of 545 possible votes [51.2%] whereas Ayame Crocodile got 232 out of 301 possible votes [77.1%] and therefore was the more popular within their own camp. Even if you discount the 34 ESO members who were distracted by Ellie Roslin flashing it's still only 54.6% of TUP/ESO/UKRP/UKAP in support.

I agree with Don Dapper. I think everyone should just pull together and help improve the whole Country. We don't need cheats, we need good people who actually want to help everyone else and are not just interested in a bit of power.

For those that do not know how Elle Roslin became on the list of The boobs lovers party:
ESO first place Elle Roslin on the candidate list. The boobs lovers party supported the candidacy too. Then ESO held a poll. TUP candidate Magic Hereos won the poll. PP of ESO supported Magic Hereos. Elle Roslin stayed candidate (seems game mechanics). Elle Roslin stayed in ESO. No manifesto was written, no support campaign was held for Elle Roslin.

This is cheating? I think it is not!

And to anti TUP supporters: Please run good candidates, know game mechanics and get enough support. I think there lies your priorities. Trying to blame TUP for all what went wrong, trying to blame TUP for being cheaters and trying to blame others as sheep will not bring any good I think to the nation. It is just partisan propaganda. Learn from your errors and improve.
As eRepublik is run by admins and not by TUP, all is in your own hands.

So you're saying she couldn't be removed as a candidate and it somehow magically made her a candidate of the Boobs Lovers Party? Really? If it was a glitch then that is grounds for a new election anyway. This just seems to be another one of the excuses or whatever to come from you guys. Mentioned above was history of TUP-ESO relations. that affects this how? ESO were supposed to be a third party and believe in fairness etc. What rubbish! But you're not going to admit cheating.

Roz didn't want to run for CP, if she did want to run for CP, she would win CP, it is that simple. ESO should have supported no one, our vote was inconclusive with regards to our rules, however a PP error was made.

ESO had one candidate and that was due to game mechanics and was someone who didn't want to run.

eRepublik is run by admins, eUK is not. It is run by the TUP and very poorly from my point of view.

Maybe if there had been any progress in recent times there would be far fewer haters.

Solytix, seriously, what are you on about?

@Carlini. I'm thinking the same about you. If she didn't want to stand then why was there a poll between supporting her and supporting Hereos? Makes no sense. So, obviously she DID want to stand. Facts straight please?

Read above, not going to keep repeating myself for various people trying to make excuses up for the cheating.....

@Solytix: You are so wrong in this. You disbelieve all what is being said by me because I am a member of TUP? Please try to understand game rules and read again what I wrote.

@Nikola Jones: UK is run by TUP? I must admit that TUP has done a lot for UK, but it is not ruling UK. That can only be true when all the non TUP's CP's and non TUP cabinet members are TUP. Maybe it is your hate that blinds you.
Making political war is not improving UK, but it is up to each party to decide what to do.

@Nikola - eRepublik is run by admins, eUK is not. It is run by the TUP and very poorly from my point of view.

My biggest gripe is with the forums where TUP moderators use thier power in a disgusting manner at times to stop debate and deal out infractions for the pettiest of things.

@Niemand. I don't believe people telling me that someone was only kept as a candidate because of a glitch. How did she end up in the Boobs Lovers Party then? Glitch? It say's nowhere that Boobs Lovers Party was supporting ESO/TUP this time.

As far as I am concerned, you lot are lying. And contradicting each other aswell (Carlini said Ellen didn't want to stand, but you said she did want to stand because there was a poll. Which is it?)
