Chrimbo Speech

Each year, as part of being King and what not, I try to get a short christmas speech out, usually including a festive carol, just like the real life fake Queen does. Because of baby jesus etc.

In the real world, as always I wish you all a lovely festive period and don’t get too upset that you can’t wrap presents nicely - I am a dictator on an internet game and neither can I. So indulge in chocolate and alcohol like a good christmas log and enjoy a couple of days off, yh?

In internet land this has been a hectic few months for the eUK, with As’s, wipes and wars etc. One thing I wanted to address is a certain line of thinking that is whispering its way around certain parts of our community, and that is the assertion that if you don’t do well on the battlefield then you aren’t trying, or shouldn’t be taken seriously in whatever else you do on eRep.

As a community, I am convinced that we should preoccupy ourselves with developing a sense of camaraderie, and teamwork. And central to this (as it is central to our military power) is retention. Kudos to he who fights hard. That is great. But some players enjoy the game in a different way, maybe their interest is in politics, media, business. And we should not shun those players, because their contributions not only to the community, but also on the battlefield, are as valuable to us as a nation as the contributions of our super soldiers. In the interests of retaining such players and the benefits they bring we should encourage everyone to enjoy the game how they want to, and just be glad that increasing numbers will influence our military output. What we should not do is mock players who haven’t fought, or create an environment in which everyone is trying to prove themselves on the battlefield - because that will simply make people turn away from the game, and ironically we will be a weaker nation because of it.

Just my two cents.



Now a Christmas carol!

Good King Woldy.

Good King Woldy once looked out, ‘cross the United Kingdom,
At the plebs who lay about, passed out drunk and heaving;
He himself was somewhat pissed, just like every night,
When a grumbling AMD, stumbled into sight.

‘Say good sir, why grumblest thee?’, bellowed the Dictator,
‘You can guess’, he did reply, ‘who is the perpetrator’,
Wold looked at him as if to say, you utterly disgust me;
And he did it is the truth, but that’s another story.

He pointed t’ward a large tower, gilded all in gold,
A sad look fell across his face, and his eyes did roll.
‘That is where the drunks should be’, he went on to say,
‘Debating the laws of the land, rather than drinking all day’.

It dawned upon me at that point, the people I had witnessed,
Were our Congress there’s no doubt, who were all sh!tfaced,
‘Worry not Mister CP! My tonic can make it right,
All I need is tomatoe juice and several egg whites’.

And so the King did make his brew, and served it to the drunkards,
Then the CP did see them start to recover,
AMD did shout with glee, ‘Woldy you have fixed it!’;
‘No all we really need, is for them to give aaaa sh!t’!



Merry Christmas to all!
Mr Woldy.
