Goddess Artela had a farm,
Ee-Aye-Ee-Aye-Oh!
pitchforks at the ready
Ya shouldn't have ran Beta for CP! Another month of tumbleweed and inaction ensues :'(
So, who would you suggest running? Beta has more experience than most people in the eUK and has worked in every department all the way to the top. 10 years ago he was told by everyone (including certicito) that he was ready to run for the top job. It isn't lack of experience or will on the non-TUKRP side of the equation, it's the total cult mentality on the TUKRP side... really quite worthy of the piggies in Animal Farm to be honest 😛
Yourself...Woldy...AMD...Rory...MIK...I could probably go on as TRS are full of depth in terms of talent and any of the aforementioned probably would have won the election.
What happened 10 years ago is either wholly irrelevant or entirely forgettable to most players right now. Someone what did something 10 years ago isn't going to sway the minds when it comes to opposing a player who has done exactly the same thing for 10 years without leaving the game.
Better the devil ye know blablabla.
I can't say I agree with the election result, but it was almost inevitable.
So, you think running ex-CPs of the same era that used Beta in all the cabinets would work? I am curious how that works, especially given that I only just returned to the eUK this last month. And we did try AMD. And he did lose. The issue isn't a lack of talent on the non-TUKRP side, it's that the TUKRP side are *happy* to be little farmers just chugging along in obscurity getting medals, and in the eyes of their little cult if they leave that one person in place nothing will be "upset".
AMD lost by a whim and seemingly by a personal grudge. He would have won this month with his barnstorming manifesto.
Beta lost. That was my prediction. It is not a matter of cults but more a matter of Huey vs Who He?
I actually voted for Beta and it's rare I make my vote known.
@Chaz I don't think Goats would back AMD - they didn't previous which cost us a handful of votes.
And yet Beta published the most articles the previous month out of the administration (Dept of Ed). So, it's more a case of raising his profile further I guess and making sure he gets recognized for all the work he has done!
Can we have less of the partisan Americanisations please
@Paul...it was the Goats I was referring to about a seemingly personal grudge.
SHA - sure - you talk your side into it first 😛
If you're referring to the immediate conversation: I think Chaz is a bit of a 'free spirit'; which is rare (and for whatever credit it offers to merit him has my backing ^)
But can you for the love of god stop saying TUKRP - I can see why you're doing it but you must concede it's an unhelpful windup we're a bit unused to here in the eUK
I mean, really - association with TUP! Have some standards please!
what is the difference between tup and ukrp? as someone who knows nothing about the eUK political parties
@SHA Except that UKRP seems to be constantly agreeing with TUP. Which itself is sickening.
TUP sucks
Actually @SHA - I did not invent the TUKRP to encompass the seeming collaboration of TUP-UKRP-WRP - it was already extant and being used by others when I arrived back on these shores. And from observation, the label holds.
@Viridi - TUP used to be very left leaning and UKRP used to be very right leaning - now they all seem to blend into one.
There’s literally no difference these days between TUP and UKRP. They’re all happy with mediocrity.
Well in that case I'd argue it's missing a W
But yes, again, can't help but feel if you've moved back here to escape american-style politics then don't immediately use similar tactics here ^
More than happy for a reasoned debate but instant generic labelling seems a bit off so soon from your return imho
@SHA - which bit of "this was already extant before I arrived here" do you not get? Or is it just that I tend to be more vocal at pointing out the inconsistencies, flaws, and cult-like behaviours? From what I can work out it has been like this for at least the past year, it's just that only now are people getting more vocal over it.
They seem to be particularly vocal after losing another election...
Again, can we calm down a bit. After TRS's last 'policy' giveaway I agreed with you on some points and Huey's taken the effort to see it through ^
On the policy ideas - I'm guessing even if they were TRS policy ideas, everyone on the TUP-UKRP-WRP side of the fence is going to say "This was ALL Huey" without accepting where the ideas come from. It's like a lot of the cabinet that are doing the work are actually from TRS... do TRS get any credit for that? No they don't. You can bet they'd get credit if they were TUP-UKRP-WRP though.
It's a bit ironic given Huey never really promotes or self-aggrandizes his work, but just gets on with it without thank or favour ^
Literally the complete opposite to how the Spamicans can seem to be approaching things
For that to be true SHA he would need to be doing all the work, which he isn't, no CP ever does. Not taking credit for things you did not do is kinda the norm 😛
Ello AMD - not sure how far you can qualify your criticism of Huey as 'mediocrity' beyond tolerating you literally doing nothing as MoFA 😛
I don’t remember mentioning WRP
I count mediocrity as tolerating an abusive vice president and only removing him when called out on it however.
By most metrics I think an inactive minister deserves abuse...
Not to mention when they also announce they're running for CP >_>
Well glad to see you’re still not sorry.
How much traction do you think that still holds bro lmao. I’m not running for cp. I’m not trying to do anything in government.
Keeping me on when I was doing nothing definitely strengthens the mediocrity argument.
It is stale and mediocre. And TUKRP are happy with it.
Keep bringing it up all you like. Yes I did nothing.
Your point?
TUKRP are happy to turn the eUK into a medal farm.
Lmao AMD inactive lmao.
Cool.
Your point?
Well for one I feel WRP are being left out, you lot should really add a W
Also how far of this outrage is serious and not being used for political purposes? If it isn't then prod me on telegram
We’ve already spoke on telegram. Multiple times. Did me calling you out not suggest that I was angry?
I’m not allowing you to contact me on any site out of this game.
And quite frankly it’s a shame the blocking feature doesn’t extend to articles and the wall posts.
Seems a bit of a bit of an over-reaction but fair enough, gl ^
I don’t know whether it’s ignorance at this point or you’re just trying to pretend as if you’ve not done anything.
1. Please take the person-on-person level vendetta elsewhere
2. Many of us will not touch that cesspool that is telegram
3. The outrage is genuine because in a game that is 100% less complicated than it was 10 years ago it really is not fair on the majority of other players if one person gets to hog all the CP medals for over 2 years! 25 months is ridiculous. No-one was suggesting tearing up what there already is, just improving on the MoHA side and getting activity levels up for those that like to interact with other people rather than just push buttons.
idk, democracy module etc
If someone is going to be de facto dictator then at least make them dictator - that way a popular vote can dethrone them... ah - I guess that's why that has not been done! No guarantee that wouldn't happen 😛
Now you're just being silly 😛
You'll need your combine harvester.

# I drove my tractor through your haystack last night (ooh aah ooh aah)
# I threw me pitchfork at your dog to keep quiet (ooh aah ooh aah)
# Now something's telling me that you'm avoiding me
# Come on now darling you've got something I need
# Cuz Oi've gotta brand new combine harvester
# An' I'll give you the key
# Come on now let's get together
# In perfect harmony
# I got twenty acres
# An' you got fortythree
# Now I got a brand new combine harvester
# An' I'll give you the key
