hi
it seems that when planning for the removal of MEK max blue overlooked a rather easy and cheap option... to ask for it. after some talk with freegigi we came to a deal to hand back over the country for a cost far less than the 400k+ of citizens money max blue wanted to waste.
now i would be happy to hand over dictator to whoever but i have one condition.
the system of dictatorship whether it be the CP or trusted citizen needs to be decided fairly with every citizen getting a vote. if the option of CP is chosen then the UK needs to fairly decide whether the impeach on max blue was illegal, whether fataliix should be CP or to wait until the next CP elections. if the trusted citizen route is taken then the UK needs to fairly decide who should take up the role. i will let you lot sort this out yourselves 🙂
i will add though if you decide to choose the CP route just take a look at ireland recently, they had to pay 200k to remove their dictator/CP because he went rouge.
in the mean time i will go about fixing some of the damage done such as resetting org passwords and handing them to the appropriate people, resigning MPPs, discuss the war with france and whatever else pops up. if congress have any laws they want me to pass i will do that too.
by the way if you still want to go ahead with the revolution and spend 400k+ instead of deciding fairly with the whole of the UK how it should be run, then go ahead i will not stop you. but 400k would help much more for getting back UK regions and defending against a revolution or coup from an enemy in the future.
any questions let me know.
also check out the MoD orders here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-mod-update-from-the-mod-team-in-exile-2517229/1/20
kudos to sambo, fataliix and adastros to at least keeping the MoD going.

Yay!
I would also like to add that the decision is not just on who the dictator should be but what their responsibilities are going to be. How much power are we expecting the dictator to have? Do we want someone who will govern with as much power as the CP? Do we want someone to just be their to advise? Do we want someone who will do nothing but just click the buttons that Congress and CP decide? Obviously depending on what we want the dictator to do will help determine who should be dictator.
If the role is to do what Congress say then someone very reliable and trustworthy such as Huey (or myself - obviously) could have the role. If we want a dictator who knows the game inside out and can take major decisions when we need them then we might look towards someone like SerF. They are just examples, I'm not whether any of them would take the role on.
We also need to consider the further future. Determination will rise while under dictatorship, what will we do? How long will we keep dictatorship for? Will we have a plan for when we lose dictatorship? We can sit here and wait until the time comes or we can plan. Also, do we want the same dictator for the next month, I presume we do which is why we are looking for the most trustworthy person.
Lots to think about guys. Most importantly, who should be dictator?
After Huey's performance as CP, it is questionable if he would get the support of the majority of congress - and I offer no judgement in that beyond not everyone was impressed with him regardless of whether or not those supportive of him think it is fair or not.
My point doesn't really have much to do with Huey, I was just using him as an example of a trustworthy player.
I was hoping people would actually talk about the points and questions I raised, nevermind 🙁
"We don't need 400k cc to rebuild our nation, we just need one", that is your dictatorship propaganda CC.
Fataliix as CP can finally get to work and start rebuilding the UK.
As mentioned by yourself Scarfar we now how a big decision to make. Who will become the Dictator.
I for one would like to thank you for saving the UK.
To be honest I don"t know :/.
If I must decide on what"s the option will be,I am more closely for fataliix should be CP.
Give me the D(ictatorship)
This has been a bloody mess, to the point that I think it's clear some people in the UK need to take some time to remind themselves that this is a game. Glad it's over.
Time to put all of that discussion to work and sort out a referendum that won't be deemed invalid.
Maybe as a way to get up a vote count that will be "acceptable" The discussion arround the referendum should include PPs so that they themselves or the party spokesperson can mass email their members to have them vote
Alright! 😃 We have our Country back! whoot whoot!

How did you manage that! Well played 🙂
Problem with the last vote was too many options, we could have to interpret things like "oh 14% voted for CP Dictator and 37% voted for Trusted Person but they are similar so was that 51% for Dictator or did Democracy win with 49%?"
The thing is that some will want Democracy but will prefer one Dictator option over the other if we can't have Democracy. Some will prefer one Dictator option but would rather have Democracy than the other Dictator option. For example I would vote for Democracy but if that option loses I want a say on getting the CP as Dictator.
I think we should have everyone put the 3 options in order, then eliminate the one with the lowest vote share and count all those people's second choice. Er... is it called Single Transferable Vote? Then if trusted person is chosen we can have a big deal picking that person after.
The just choice is to hand it over to Max Blue as he is the elected CP and he should hold the role until congress or the public decide the best course of action. There is plenty of time before the next CP to make a decision and this probably doesn't need to be rushed unless anyone thinks Max Blue is untrustworthy.
an elected CP that was impeached. there are arguments for max blue and for fataliix being CP.
the cp shouldnt being making the decision alone this will effect the whole country so the whole country should get a say.
plus this might actually get you lot to work together on this so you can remove me as soon as possible 😛
An elected CP who would not have been impeached had the dictator had the sole vote. The impeach vote was failing before FreeGigi got her hands on the buttons...
I would hold the dictatorship until the next elections to prevent any further dispute.
so
I'm the right choice for dictator, so I would make everyone kneel. Ok, now srsly. I want someone who doesn't have fear to choose a side, our mpps were a mess... so I'm more inclined to Fata... for now...
ffs when I asked he said no
freegigi would have given it to Billy
I'd give anything to Billy
There is an argument that letting the people vote is not exactly a great idea. After all, surely that is why we got into this mess in the first place. It's plain to see that democracy won't work until the fundamental flaws of the dictatorship module (i.e. allowing the takeover of "dead" military units to perform a hostile MTO, rather than gaining citizenship and creating a new MU for that same purpose) is fixed, so the only "safe" option is to retain the dictatorship until these flaws are resolved.
My preference would be to hold the dictatorship by a neutral party until such a time as the new CP is elected, after which the rulings of the Governance Act, which was passed as legislation after Adastros gave the dictatorship to Wayne (and by that very definition, Adastros did nothing against legislation, although one might question whether it was "morally" right not to hand over to Huey), shall come into force and the new CP will be given the dictatorship.
This neutral party must abide by congressional decisions (and that means, congress, we need to sort our acts out), otherwise we're back at square one.
Yeah people having no vote/choice in who the dictator is really worked well last time 😑
Did you read all of my comment? I'll even quote the relevant part for you again:
Adastros did nothing against legislation, although one might question whether it was "morally" right not to hand over to Huey
And people do have a vote. It's called the CP elections.
I would disagree and say we got into this mess because we didn't listen.
Firstly, we didn't listen to the people when Huey got elected and should have received the Dictatorship position, but then it went to Wayne.
Secondly we didn't listen to Huey's referendum which spurned some players to fight for revolution.
Thirdly Scarfar was shot down in his attempt to bring public discussion, but still managed to secure the exile of MEK where all those private backroom deals failed.
If we want lasting stability where one, two or a small group of players don't go out of their way to mess things up we need as big of a consensus as possible.
People are not idiots, they deserve more respect. Every voice is equal. If you feel you are right, then surely it would be easy to convince the masses.
If you can't do that, well maybe you are not right...?
Perhaps. Apathy certainly played a part, both in the population as a whole and in congress. Yes, by informal agreement Huey should have taken over the dictatorship, but the apathy of congress delayed the passing of any formal legislation. Huey's referendum was (as noted elsewhere by others) fundamentally flawed in it's question, and one might consider that the number of votes cast was low as a percentage of the "active" eUK population. Must have missed Scarfar being "shot down" - the only real antagonist in his previous article was FreeGigi herself.
I don't think people are idiots. I do, however, believe that they are generally indifferent and reactive, and we let ourselves sleepwalk into a position where we were easy prey for MEK. It's time we started, both as a general population and in congress, to become proactive and take hold of our destiny.
Perhaps we can agree insofar as this Country needs real Leadership. Someone that can resonate with the apathetic masses and spur them into action.
I've seen Intelligence, Integrity, Enthusiasm, Charisma, but sadly no one that encapsulates that all under 'Leadership.'
Adastros did break the "legislation".
You can say whatever you want, I and others will tank Dictator off anyone chosen unfairly.
No. He broke an informal agreement that had not been codified and passed into law by congress until after the deed was done. I'm not saying I agreed with what he did or that he was ethically or morally in the right, but he broke no laws.
No one cares that Congress was a day or two late finishing a vote before an election deadline, except you. Adastros had more than 3 weeks to object to it, he waited until the day after the next election when he wasn't CP anymore.
Who exactly is nitpicking like this going to achieve?
I admire your passion, but you'd make a lousy lawyer. 😉
It's a GAME.
I KNOW! ;p
ScarFar for dictator
I say we give you a go for a bit as you are the one who sorted it out, we have nothing lose you do loads of damage and have saved the UK lots of money, well played!
then wait till cp elections
Also the guy that started this NFM did quit 2 days ago went back to Argentina then rage quit the game
Interesting, why would NFM ragequit?
Im not Sure CD, he wrote a shout saying goodbye and i ask him and he never replied its must be about argentina war or something
I would agree with this point. Scarfar you seem to have masterminded this move. I think that shows capability to handle the job full time.
Best liberation tactic ever
Lol when I suggested that in comments on 1 of the popular article here in UK 3 days ago,i was trolled by some dude who said mek is scared and how you(eUK) will show us bla bla bla bla bla
Good to know there are reasonable ppl here
how the....... what the........
Why the f*ck didn't I think of this, ask them for the dictatorship.
Legend o7
Having the CP holding the Dictatorship position is by far the best option. I see you refer to Ireland but that is pointless in the case of UK as we managed to be robbed quite well by elected CPs as well..
There are several countries in the eWorld now that have the system of CP as Dick. Its all about electing the right people. I know this is easier said than done, but it put pressure on the whole policial community. PPs have to vent their candidates properly before running them in the election and the voters have to vote on candidates that are reliable and that you respect.
I know some might have a negative view on the whole dictatorhip module but it is a much better choice than democracy at this moment.
Responsibility also lies with the CP/Dick to actually hand over the reign to the next elected president. Try thinking of the community rather than the lols for youself.
The UK tressury is at risk either way. It was proven this time that even with democracy we will not be able to empty our coffers and keep the money safe.
It's all about who we elect for the CP
There is an alternative....
apples for supreme leader?
What is so good about democracy? Look at the long list of CPs who have cheated us and run off with the countries money. Lets face it we have elected some real dorks over the years.
Give Scarfar a go until he gets bored with it or bring back Wayne(a safe pair of Hands) even Adratos had more common sense than our elected officials. We need people that will act decisively not people who talk endlessly and prevaricate whilst the country is wrecked through their inaction.
