What's with the Haters?
Churchill93
Fellow eCanadians,
We should consider ourselves very lucky. Gone are the days where we have either coronations or a choice between multis and vote buyers. We've got 3 top notch individuals running to be our CP. Hats off to Dozzer, shoi and Oinyo for putting their names forward.
While I'm biased towards one of the candidates (Full Disclosure: Vote for Dozzer!), I believe all 3 would be excellent choices. Each of these people have done great things for eCanada.
Which leads me to the question, what's with some of these haters?
There have been a few individuals who have been trolling other candidates. I can understand being passionate about your candidate of choice, but I can't understand the vitriol against other qualified candidates.
Let's return to some civility and let the best candidate win. Enough with the hate. We're free to elect whomever we want, and this month we have some great choices. I won't name and shame these people - they know who they are - but I hope the supporters of all candidates can show respect to the other candidates.
I look forward to our next CP freeing us from Spanish occupation. Good luck to all who are running.
Comments
awwww are people picking on your preferred candidate
eCanada has gotten boring lately with one clear CP front runner with little to no competition so when we have 3 candidates that probably all have somewhat of an equal chance ofc people are gonna get competitive
Theres no haters theres just people FINALLY getting involved in our CP political process so maybe switch from tighty whiteys and switch to boxers for a few days
Whats with all the whining?
Looks like crisfire has changed his man crush from me to Churchill. Seriously, you are always bothering him, just go back into your hole crisfire so we don't have to listen to the useless bile dripping from your mouth.
^stop trolling Auk or ill whine about it in the media
Go ahead then, go do it.
Its a poor testimony of the state of eCanada when your the Party President of the #1 ranked political party, it really is.
He doesn't like me going after him for obsessing about other parties... For once I'm not even calling him out though.
Crisfire: "Not saying Dozzer isnt a great candidate cuase he is" - nothing wrong with that kind of comment.
People have been trolling both shoi and Dozzer from what I've seen. I find it disrespectful. It's fair to point out disagreements in policy, but that's not what is being done by a few people.
You have even pointed out that Dozzer has done a great job as MoFA - even though he isn't your preferred candidate - nothing wrong with that.
I'm all for people getting involved in the CP process - and most eCanadians are doing that in a respectful, competitive way. It's only a few individuals who are being disrespectful and immature. They needed to be called out on it.
then call them out with names and examples
I'm calling for respect and civility in this campaign from all. If these few individuals keep it up, I will name them and provide examples. My hope is that a general call for civility will be all that is necessary though.
what your calling for is for Maximus and foxfire to stop pointing out there issues with your preferred candidate and when Dozzer doesnt respond to questions or statements it only encourages them to ask more and ask often, which is perfectly fine and as it should be
there not haters they are political rivals that want thier candidate to win
this is a blanket piss poor article that is aimed at anyone that says anything agaisnt Dozzer so unless you give examples of actual "hate" and name names this is nothing more then what weve come to expect from the CPF since Funky left
whining instead of action and ideas
Some might say the only thing we get from the MDP is permanent occupation and you... However, I don't know if I'd agree with that.
It's not just Dozzer who has been the target of these childish attacks. Your candidate has been as well. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that you would jump to the defence of trolls.
Im jumping to the defense of fact which you dont seem to want to show
show me some examples of the hate you seem to think is prevalent in this election
You know nothing John Snuuu
If you played in V1 people got bullied out of eCan from political pressure
Those were the times eh.
Yea ... I remember that in the eUK too
I'd probably vote Cleo.
You can't dismiss political opinion and debate for trolling (well, you kind of just did but it shows a weakness to not be able to come to the table and debate intellectually). Given that it's a campaign, parties and candidates should be prepared to discuss their record and conduct as potential CPs.
Dozzer has a history of alienating political parties and players. That's a fact.
Our history as a country shows that when the CP loses his cool we can end up in a bad situation. That's a fact.
Dozzer has deleted all his articles and comments showcasing his alienating political parties and players. That's a fact.
Dozzer has not addressed that he has deleted his articles and comments. That's a fact.
Trolling is not defined by bringing to light something you don't want others to see or inviting a political dialogue that you would rather not have. Frankly I am disappointed that no one, including Dozzer, has stepped up to address these issues.
Dozzer has a history of alientating political parties - false, libel. CW is not "parties", it's "party".
Our history as a country shows that when the CP loses his cool we can end up in a bad situation. That's a fact. - it is, but as the meetings with Spain and my overall foreign affairs activity show, my temper is completely ok. Again, libel.
Dozzer has deleted all his articles and comments showcasing his alienating political parties and players. That's a fact. - by "articles", you actually mean "one article". So, yeah, it's libel again.
Dozzer has not addressed that he has deleted his articles and comments. That's a fact. - why should I? It was none of your business, it was between me and IBB.
If you are open to political debate, and would just stop spreading so much libel in the media, I would be open to respond to any of your concerns. Until then, your trolling values nothing to me.
I appreciate the answer Dozzer.
You did write a slanderous article about the MDP regarding recruitment, so it is in fact parties. There are also multiple comments made in Clan Wolf party feeds over the course of weeks, so unfortunately, not just one article.
As a voter what you write, the primary vehicle of communicating your ideas is most definitely my business. It should be of concern to voters how much you don’t like your opinions questioned, particularly given how hostile you choose to react.
Trolling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet): Is to take a conversation off-topic, I have kept within the confines of this election (verses going off topic with reference to Maximus' past, name calling like referring to someone as a 'whore', etc), or to provoke an emotional response.
Given that my posts are fact based and on record, an emotional response is simple an inevitability to the documented truth or a choice people are making to react to this truth.
At least you acknowledge that you have alienated at least one party in Canada. How do you plan to overcome this or do you not believe a more unified attitude will assist in national politics, especially now that player population is at an all time low?
First of all, the article about MDP wasn't slanderous and even IBB acknowledged this. They've actually done what I accused them of in that article. As for the comments made in the CW party feeds, all of my comments regarding CW have been of well-wishing.
In regards to you keeping on topic, no you did not. Instead of battling my plans if I win the election, you questioned my nationality, you started trolling by using multies (and by you I mean you and Beorn), you made claims that I've done nothing as MoFA, despite Homer rebuking your statement and much more. To conclude, most of your accusations were not related at all to my governmental activity or my CP plans.
And about your claims that I have alienated a party in Canada, I ask you: what is the point in that? How could it make us not be unified? I base my administration on people, not on the parties they represent. I use to not mess administration with partisan politics, and that is a very good thing. I don't make choices based on parties, I make them based on individual competence, because I think the individual matters more than the group it represents. This is the way CPF and MDP started cooperating in government since February 2013. This exactly the way that should be approached when we're talking about country administration. Politics are politics, taking care of Canada is much more important than that.
"Dozzer plans to rob the treasury."
"The polls will close in 6 hours - let's impeach Dozzer."
The preceding statements would be examples of trolling. Nothing on that level has been spoken in this campaign. Trust me when I say I have experience in this matter.
Grow a thicker skin.
I saw the name Dozzer, Shoi and Oinyo. YOU MISSED THE MAIN CANDIDATE!
I'll leave this here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-platform-pauper-strikes-again-1022968/1/20
It's an old one, one of his first articles, from a former CP but long before he became CP.
'There have been a few individuals who have been trolling other candidates..... I won't name and shame these people'
lol that you think I would be ashamed of what I have been doing, which is not trolling. I have provided evidence for most of the stuff I have brought up in Dozzers CP article. What do I get in response from CPF? I get told to 'screw' off and to stop picking on Dozzer, both of which are very strong cases for why Dozzer will make a good CP ha.
Do you want me to ease up on your candidate Churchill? I might just yet, because you know, I;m merciful to the vanquished. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s66zFW3nogU
I miss the days when a political campaign was made or broken by having or lacking a fedora. This whole silly video/sangria tutorial/hate on Asgard shite is too damned new school for my liking. Oh and where's the beef?
Maximus and Foxfire, you have made the same points over and over again. Everyone has read them. We have took them under advisement. If you have nothing new to add, then stop repeating the same points over and over again. It gets trollish if you keep repeating the same criticisms.
Although you two not liking our candidate is kind of a badge of honor.
It probably hasn't helped that Dozzer refuses to address the issue directly. We wouldn't have to bring it up if he'd stop trying to make it go away like his deleted posts and articles.
I get that by bring Dozzer to light we are also shinny a flash light it CPF putting forward a candidate that isn't optimal. With barely half of his own party's support it's obvious this opinion is shared by the party. It's been a bit of an eye opener to see how CPF choose to address this. A party that stands by the principles of integrity has surprised me by the 'Shhhh, don't talk about it anymore' approach. I expected a, 'Yeah, he's done some garbage, but he's got a good team with him to keep him steady and he's aware of what he's got to do." Instead, no acknowledgement at all.
If it matter I've held back copies of his posts waiting for him to address this. I could be doing a lot more and gave him a chance to handle this honorably.

You have said his before as well. Did you read Dozzer's comments above or do have a reading comprehension problem?
He denied the existence of the posts. Posts I have copies of. That's avoidance. Hell, that's just lying.
I can read that just fine, but thanks for checking.
I have said what I wanted to, so stop bringing it up CPF if you want it to go away. Honour*
Good to hear Maximus. Have you got copies of Funky's posts as well Foxfire?. That would take your whole hard drive.
Lol, I like Funky's posts. You can tell he loves the game and he has actually put thought into the posts. Warped and twisted though, but thought none the less. I respect a player that takes the time to think verses resorting to name calling.
Everyone thought Funky was just trolling other parties. He was trolling the CPF just as hard, if not harder.
ya I just bought another terra-byte drive, so you best watch what you say ED haha.
I'd like to think we was trying to push players to be better. Everyone, not just CPF. People didn't like to hear it, but he typically had a point to the things he said.
I miss Funky ;__;
Indeed.
Psst, you guys do remember this is just a game right?
I can't speak for others but watching The Voice well playing eRepublik brings on rages.

But baby pls ._.
politics is one topic ,RL included, can cause heated discussions and disagreements within even the best of friends
i think respect for the courage to stand up and run is what needs to be focused on
So the CPF doesn't get along with CW now...??? Is there nothing that Lord Beorn can't ruin?
But seriously... Platforms! What are they?
We know Oinyo loves 'Freedom' and hates Asgard, oh and has an unhealthy obsession with his pets. Everyone else,um, I dunno?
only main problem that CW has is with Dozzer, not CPF
So Dozzer is not representative of the CPF, but the 3-headed monster that is yourself/Oinyo/Foxfire represent CW? Interesting.
Lol, monster now is it. I do find it funny given how often people would post that Clan Wolf is dead, no one is active. Clearly we aren't and never were. Perhaps those players should have been more clear to point out that the wanted us to actively nod our head in blissful and ignorant agreement, no matter the stench off the manure being shovelled. Hypocrites.
