Ladies and Gentlemen,
Rican has been a friend of mine for a very, very long time - in fact, almost for as long a time as I can remember. Our small, but prosperous nation has been guided by him for years and we owe it to him to be thankful for where we are now.
Do people change? Yes. Do their ideals change? Yes. Does that mean that they are less of a human? No.
There have been a few times in Swiss history where the entire community was shred into pieces, not by others or political takeovers, but by themselves.
Since then, the country has evolved, it has blossomed, and all because of one short-sighted module. The Dictator module previously made this country shine. Who could have ever thought that such a thing could happen through such a bad event in our history.
We were in a phase of prosperity, and now we are so tense in case the menace strikes again. What will be the future of eSwitzerland? What will we evolve into? Or are we actually devolving? Devolving back into times past of dissent from our own fear.
I'm very disappointed that Rican, an esteemed poster child of democracy, has plunged our country into a Dictatorship yet again. I find it extremely disheartening to see that some of my friends, who have championed democracy, have decided to back this notion aswell.
I'm not entirely sure what the imminent threat is. I'm not entirely sure why our "national security" is at stake and we need to safeguard citizens' interests. I'm also concerned that this article directly called out the Swiss Pirate Party as a "non-Swiss party"despite the party's significant history here.
A country needs diversity as well as unity. Diversity is what drives us, it shapes us and allows us to influence others and work together, towards a common good. Now that we are in our prime, it is time to start developing our own opinions and rebuild what we once had.
We cannot unify under a common state party. Write more, don't let the government be the only one whom publishes! Follow your ambitions for you country. Make your own party, start your own military unit, start your own company!
The evolution of Switzerland depends on this, otherwise we will turn into a one-party state.
Now don't get me wrong, I have been a dictator before. It's not that I don't support dictatorships, its that I don't support them when they are not needed.
I was the Dictator at a time when eSwitzerland had come fresh out of a political takeover. Our treasury had been raided, and it was only appropriate that people with a proven track record and trust held ultimate power in our country.
It was decided by everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, that it would be best for a number of months to install a Dictator that would have the ultimate control over the Treasury. However this was in dire times, and I certainly don't see how we are in a similar situation now.
It begs the question, what is the threat now, and how much is Rican going to cost our Treasury?
It's currently costing us between 13,000 and 15,000 CC per day, amounting to 13-15 gold in lost revenue. If our democracy is in such a grave danger of being taken over, I would point out we will now be losing in excess of 100G per week of revenue into the Treasury.
I invite anyone in the decision making process to come forward and explain the imminent threat that has divulged itself in the last few days, otherwise I will be forced to believe that the only fear is the return of a few political opponents.
According to the Epic Swiss Legend there is one group who rules eSwitzerland. Uncle Rican is definitively one of the members of the group. He's not an elitist - he always looks out for our best interests.
To those signatories of this recent act, I ask that you engage and discuss what happens in our country with one another. By my reading, our country is currently divided because one side wants to have all the political power, and I urge you to realise that we all work better, together.
I look forward to hearing the reasoning.
P.S This article is not intended to personally attack anyone, especially Rican. I hold each of the signatories in high regard and simply question why they made their decision.
All Hail Switzerland!
Yours Sincerely,
Joseph Rich

I will be back in Swiss
I plan on explaining in an upcoming article.
Thank you, Rican! Looking forward to it.
Hope there is good reason.
Hey Rican, No need to explain, It's too cheap , i can pay all the cost, whenever you say .
.o?
comment... o7
Do not idealize Rican, Joseph. He is the same as the scumbags he supports. Terry is insulting everyone, he is architech of argentinian cleptocratic clique that is not allowing new opinions and he so arogant for not answering to any normal queation that I ask(report on military campaign, tax spending, state of budget...). Also, his bots like pep_69 are sending rude messages to foreign players which also is a manner of badguy. They completely privatized public good, state of Switzerland, and neglected Swiss community. People change, so this is also Rican case.
Inbefore Rican writes some bs alibi, i will tell you that he will blame me and new political reality SPP. This is a threat for community because we will bring tranaparency and for sure will expose thieves in the full light.
The bad thing is the silence.
En argentina hicieron dictadura porque le tienen miedo a la oposición destrozando la economía por querer perpetuarse en el poder.
I saw that the account of rican was sold for 400 Euros
no USD

Fake
He diden`t sell his acc,
I am glad that after your inactivity you have returned due to the call of this group of people directly to their group and also because of your years in games you will have noticed recent actions from them without needing articles, although you will soon have them.
I hope that your affinity with these people does not cloud your judgment, although we already noticed which side you are on and why you returned to the game at this moment 😉
This group of people is some old Swiss fellas who were ignored by your side when they offer you help, and people who spend their time playing in Switzerland even before you join up and become Swiss citizen. You don`t even know anything about us and you immediately cut off us because we are rising and adding something new like we always did for the Swiss community. We have background and we have nice things behind us. We never harmed Switzerland in anyway. For that even Rican, Sendom, Tim Buctu, lviz Fer, DARE, vincent rekdal, Hitoyoshi and Joseph Rich is one of them I don`t need to add others fellas who are not in the game like Scheldon, Felix who sadly passed in the corona time, mungos.. dan quijote, and more..
In the end at least you had chance to make some contact before you put us on a black list for a reason we don`t even know and start a dictatorship..
We offer something and try to win on a democratic way, sadly you don`t like anyone near your government and the Dictatorship was only way out that will not last forever.
We are still open to find solution and discuss because we are not that bad us you think! Our last thing in mind is to harm Switzerland. Just go read some of our ideas and articles.
Blacky, are you offering cooperation to him? Many people expressed intention to return to Switzerland if Regime does change. You offered changes and cooperation is status quo or even worse state of Swiss community
You feel targeted and you have a great obsession and wrong image about me. Try to relax if you want a normal dialogue.
Anyway my message was not for you. thanks for your answer.
things must burning under their feet if they finally let their tongue loose
Well you fellas are speaking about group and I don`t have any idea what your talking about if is not me what what is the issue? I don`t get a thing. We start a political party, we get ignored and after that coup? What is the issue? For what group are you speaking about?
I have nothing personal with you. Don't underestimate me either, I didn't arrive in Switzerland yesterday... I've been here for several years and I know all the people you mention. including part of your second account...
and Being a former Swiss citizen years ago does not give immunity to everything and to thinking oneself superior to others.
more, when you had 2 bans and a lot of time out the country.
We come back to take part in Switzerland after while and we were ready to cooperate help and work with everyone, we just get pushed out with no explanation and only silence. Personally I reached to you couple of times and even offer you a help if it`s needed and I get 0 replies and I dident get any cooperation. You even said that you don`t know me. That I accept it, it`s okay to don`t know me.
After some silence we get up with a coup, who we are seeing that is against us and we are now the second biggest political party in Switzerland. There is any problem issue? I don`t get it?
Tell me a good reason why you guys diden`t make any contact with me or anyone of the pirates to talk before starting a coup? Or to ask us to support the coup if there is threat and we are not the one?
Do you believe that I can manipulate the actions of 5 Swiss parties? and direct the actions of emblematic Swiss players such as rican, winston, sendom, daree III and all the
members of their respective parties?
If you read Rican's articles you will get his answer and you will understand that it was a consensual decision.
If you have any. In particular, you can write to me.
only
He wrote to me once and I didn't know him very well, that's why I answered him that way. I didn't see anything necessary to continue talking and you didn't write again either.

@terry : ''Do you believe that I can manipulate the actions of 5 Swiss parties? and direct the actions of emblematic Swiss players such as rican, winston, sendom, daree III and all the
members of their respective parties?''
yes.
and not because its a theory, but because the majority of those parties are run either by your compatriots, lackeys and servants but most of them are argentinians.
in the past, this would be described as a ''soft PTO'', and it would call for defence of e-switzerland.
now, its another day in terry's little personal playground.
how does your enforced dictatorship feel, buddy?
is it protecting your personal interests of power?
( while it costs thousands of CCs and gold to swiss citizens daily )
It was more so a reminder that the game existed rather than at the request of someone. I'll always serve eSwitzerland first - I don't want to ruin it. I have noticed a few questionable actions, but I also think this notion of a Dictatorship is a questionable one too. I was previously a member of the Pirate Party many years ago, and that is my only connection with them.
I've sent you a message privately with some queries that I hope you can respond to - genuinely want to understand what all of this bad blood is about. There is a lot of unjustified finger pointing going on and I want to know why you think the way you do. If their intentions are nefarious, I will leave the party, but so far no one has given me any swell reason to believe either side.
I respect you and consider you, I would have preferred your contact before this article but I understand the circumstances and perhaps your haste in writing the article without first carrying out a more in-depth analysis.
I will reply to your PM soon, have a great day 🙂

so terry when blackbeard inquires he gets ignored, but when others do they get a reply?
First, hello "trendo", it's a pleasure to meet you.
Do you know my conversation with Blackbeard?
I simply listened to him, I told him that I didn't know him very well, he gave me a brief summary of his previous accounts and I had nothing more to say to him... and he didn't tell me again either.
the meeting phase is rather late, you could have sent me a hello and inquire about me when you were deciding about my cs
Sorry? I was just trying to be nice but it seems like you don't care.
but with due respect. Why should I have written to you when I don't even know who you are? You should have written if you were interested in introducing yourself or asking for something.
oh my bad did i hurt your feelings? How might i be feeling being completely stonewalled.
Now respectfully, im not trying to tell you how to do your job but when someone asks for a cs its usually the committee who inquires about them in order to decide if they should pass or no. Were you expecting perhaps a shoulder rub from me so i can "earn" my pass? It was clearly stated in the application that Rican can vouche for me, implying that by asking him you can save time on inquiring about me from many other players. And finally Rican said that he will bring forward my application to congress, so my application was "out there". I wasnt hiding under rocks from the cs committee, even asked Rican who are members so i can contact them directly and he fell silent from that moment onwards.
Since you have been so kind to reach out i will point you to my latest series of questions in hope that you can answer everything and we can finally clear up everything instead of hunt for monsters in the fog 🙂 https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/reply-to-the-swiss-tyrants-2776812
to hurt my feelings??? I really don't understand...I think you are confused or misinterpreting something.
The committee is independent and the president does not have voting power, therefore I had no need to contact you...and the interested party was you.
You didn't write to consult either,
The committee decided to reject your request by unanimous vote. 5-0
I would appreciate if you transfer yourself to my article, your comments would be more visible for the public to see, as well as might offer some insight by answering the questions directed at you and your colleges.
For the cs matter it seem im forced to wait for someone from the committee to come out from the woodwork so we can continue that topic.
Since you say you dont know me it means you havent read blackbeard`s articles - articles from the leader of the second biggest party in the country. That doesnt sound very democratic.
@trendo : thats because terry runs the citizenship committee and he and his lackeys decide who gets in and out of e-switzerland.
and they wont even dignify the applicant with a reply in a PM ( as they should ), so instead they ignore it like rude jerks.
its typical of them, really.
@chrus everyone knows that you have a personal relationship with me but to dance tango it takes two. I have nothing with you, I hope you can overcome that.
You shouldn't underestimate Swiss institutions and their members, they are independent and how do you think they could be manipulated by me? I don't even have a strong account really...I couldn't do anything on my own.
I think that this arrogance and underestimation of Swiss citizens led you to exile yourself from the country because you lost all credibility and trust here.
I hope you are better and overcome your hatred towards me because there is nothing on my part, I hope you continue well and enjoy the game 🙂
