Greetings and Salutations. I'm Jude Conners and I want to talk to you about stupidity. Stupidity in the usual den of stupidity, in fact... the newly-elected Congress.
Awesome. Now that I have your attention, I will tell you about the stupidity of a Congressman
one day into the new Congress month. This is some serious shit, people. After all, even without even having a Congress last month, it seems like we were better off a month ago if this is how it is already starting. Idiots placing unimportant role play meta bull crap over important game mechanics issues. Seriously, what the hell is this... the eUSA???
Just like Alex in the above picture, you are probably asking the same thing. I mean, who the hell would start with the idiotic meta game role play crap already, right? After all, a few months ago, the way to
elect the supreme meta god of Congress had changed, right? I wasn't even here yet, and I knew it happened. Yet in an emergency mass message to a number of Congressmen that was started by the current Minister of Defense and fellow Congressman, Serfartsalot, to inform Congress to vote down an MPP due to numerous violations in their handling of the MPP, as well as a pretty shoddy approach to foreign affairs by that nation; it happened. A Congressman took one line of the text in the mass message to use it to completely derail the conversation and make it about things as stupid as
Who has the right to start Congressional mass messages and
How the "Speaker of Congress" is appointed and
The Actual Existence of Such a Position as "Speaker". Seriously, Congress, are we
THAT petty and idiotic?
Apparently we are. In fact, when much of the rest of Congress went on the offensive blasting this wanker for his stupidity, he decided he would respond with the treat of reporting one Congressman who simply
hurt his feelings. Seriously... this new Congress is already that petty, resorting to threats of getting the ineffectual game moderators and admins involved. It already seems that this month is gonna be a Biggie!
So let's get to work. We have important issues that must be addressed and questions that must be answered... chiefly -
WHICH BLOKE IS THE TRUE GOD OF CONGRESS, SPEAKING FOR THE ENTIRE CONGRESS AS A WHOLE AND STARTING CONGRESSIONAL PRIVATE MESSAGES!!!! Obviously, until this question is answered,there is NOTHING ELSE that can be done. Forget taxes, MPPs, and Natural Enenmies...
THE META GAME IS WAYYYYYYY MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE ACTUAL GAME MECHANICS!!! At least that is what
this bugger thinks. Fiddle Sticks! Dodgy Congress is Bollocks and Bob's Your Uncle.
As always, it's been your pleasure.

I am the God of Congress.. I'm also waiting for my Friend Point!
Friend Points are ALWAYS fun!
This is actually pretty tame for UK Congress so far.
THis will be fun to write about then!
Yea, welcome to UK. This is nothing what will come in few days. I'll make sure the feathers fly.
Gripping. I can hardly wait!
Those wily Belgians.
Must be the waffles.
Yeah well unfortunately 3 terms ago (i think) legislation was made abolishing the speaker act and putting in place new rules. However when the Congress of 2 terms ago was elected they refused to accept the legislation and no one knows what has happened since.
All the problems could be solved by simply moving Congress to the forums, but until that happens it will be the same disaster month after month.

Right on cue!
You, my friend, have won the discussion.
Excellent copy pasting my friend new it would be inevitable
There's a Congress forum? I thought the UK forums were just for the community to talk about bonking 10 year olds.
No thanks. One site is enough for this game.
You mean you don't want to have to log into the game, the forums, and IRC in order to play a lousy browser game? For shame!

Awsome article Jude.Mongress will be allways Mongress that is reality my friend Jude.o7
I'm actually quite used to that... i am a multiple time Congressman in the derpiest Congress of them all,, eUSA Congress - lol
@Jude in my 1st term it was very odd for me all of that argueing,moaning about this and that,Now with this 4th term as you said quite used to it.
I actually enjoy seeing the derp and butt hurt. Plus it gives me something to write about in this paper.
@Jude quite true.It"s more funnier and interesting than ever lol 😃
LOL. I'm sure it will give me plenty of opportunity to "console" the butthurting ever crazy meta gamers with words of inspiration. I look forward to assisting those in need.
I on the other hand, still getting used to it haha first term
You have to take it in gently before it can be thrust into you.
Hey, its the eUK! We ALWAYS argue about things 😛
I am learning that quickly 🙂
we know how to argue, and we know how to queue and we know how to politely tut our dissaproval
Derailling debates with stupid comments! For shame, these people should be hung from the nearest lampo..oh wait...err...actually I'm all for free speech.
Horice 😒
I would personally love to see the Hang From Lamp Post module added to eRepublik.
TUP are the only ones who really even want this speaker thing in place, they're in the minority out of congress and a whole and the ones who want this reinstated are probably a minority in their own party. Maybe next we could have a big ruckus about reinstating the honours system, that would be fun...
*as a
Personally, my plan is to start the Congress mass messages immediately following the verification of votes next term to crown myself as "God of Congress".
Hopefully the first thing you do as God of Congress is wipe everything out and start over 😛.
[removed]
No. First thing I will do is set up a piss up at the local pub.
Organisation far above anything seen before in congress.
You're getting the hang of this!
Although for future reference, you can just call it "the local".
Its not a party policy at all. The member in question has his reasons for questioning the process, but thats nothing to do with TUP.
I understand and appreciate his concern, but not his methods and have spoken with my member already. Can we let this rest now?
Isn't Adrastos normally the Congress god?
Save some of the retardation for me!
I guess I'll just have to be Congressional Titan then.
\o/
Think I'm going to get back into the congress thing next month...I will have the time to waste once more.
I need to be quicker if I am going to put my journalistic skills to use and write about mongress, need to beat you to it this term 😉
Aaaahhhhh. Congress.
Plato does not give Congress members the power to regulate Congress members. End of story.
Non est enim auctoritas extra Platonis praecepta
Congress can sook the fart out my arse crack if they want to penis about with role playing while we are on the dodgy side of the foowked line
