Final Chapter of this Divine Comedy
Alias Vision
The 5th has finally arrived and as a great liberator it officially releases me from this hell we call the CP chair. And hell it was.
My critics can now crow to their heart's content. Not only was my time as CP not successful, it will be rather easy to argue it may even have been one of the worse.
This is not me playing the victim but rather putting the facts up against the harsh light of day. To be successful, you have to leave the place a better one than what you found when you took over.
India does not have more regions.
India does not have more allies.
India is not closer to being accepted in a major alliance.
Indians are not more unified.
Pretty damning report card. Actually, judging by the early returns and the 75% support until now for Uv Ajed, maybe Indians finally are more unified. It would be ironic that one of the goals achieved during my Presidency was achieved in the last way I would have wished it to happen.
My story as CP of India is really a story of the past three months. I first attempted to help during the Alector administration where we were left without leadership. I provided leadership then and proposed a road map to follow. However, I was not an elected official and anyone talking to me (admin to foreigners) would only do so to a certain extent. They didn't want to give time to someone who could not guarantee results.
They were proven right in their caution when Hamturk took over and didn't keep anything from Alector's short time in power. Hamturk, for all of his qualities, is also a one man show. He followed his own counsel and forged his own path. Which is fine until the time when he resigns... then there is again, no road map and a lot of confusion. This time foreigners would tell me that things change too much in India and they wouldn't talk to me until there was more stability.
Finally, I was elected CP. Surely I could now make progress right? I put a lot of hours initially to make it so. I tried to pull in the people who were active and convince those that said they didn't have time to donate a little bit of it. Then I made the Albanian deal and committed the cardinal sin of having friends say they thought I had the potential of being one of the best CPs India would have. Those two elements together was enough to motivate a group of people to ensure that whatever else happened in the following month, success would not be one of them.
The lies and half-truths did their work. Some nations that had been very open to talks stopped returning messages. Others became a lot harder to contact. My motivation tanked. Whereas before I would return to a problem day after day until I had an acceptable answer, I now would only return once... or not at all. When the leader loses his motivation, it isn't long before the people working with him sense that and react consequently. By the end of this month, everyone got too busy or too distracted. Things in India ground to a halt.
If you want to attack me for something, then attack me for that. The first responsibility of a leader is to motivate his team. I didn't do this and by the end of the month I didn't have much of a team either.
There were plans in place, there once was progress made. I find it amusing to hear echoed in Uv Ajed's FA article what I'd stated a month earlier. I'm the man who had no plan but he will try to do exactly the same thing I set out to achieve. If he is successful I will clap for him and congratulate him. I know the mountain there is to climb and whoever reaches the top of it will have well earned his laurels.
I accept the responsibility of the deals I made. I accept the fact that ultimately a CP is judged by the results he delivers. It is my personal belief that had some things been managed a little differently that India today would have one less invader... maybe two.
After all the days and all the hours... there is finally only one thing that I regret. I regret the personal investment of time I made with certain individuals. Friendship is never something I would use for manipulation and satisfying personal ambitions. Throughout this process I never misrepresented myself and even less misrepresented others (although the temptation was great more than once). If this month was hell, it was only because things that should have been more important than the game were allowed to manipulate the game.
I don't lie, it isn't worthwhile. If you wanted to know exactly what I thought, all you had to do was ask.
So I leave the CP position with India at a crossroads. Does it have the maturity to see the path needed to take the be a better ally? Does it have the spirit necessary to become the team it needs to be?
There is only one way that India will be successful and that is with absolute unity of purpose and effort. If even one major player positions himself or herself against that, events are doomed to keep the nation oppressed.
With that being said, it is time for me to find my unity of purpose and a team as well. For the last time... I respectfully say farewell and wish India better tomorrows.

you are a good human my friend. you shall remain so ever. game matters to a little.

"I know the mountain there is to climb and whoever reaches the top of it will have well earned his laurels."
That is exactly where I differ from you..
the bottomline is it's not about laurel, name and fame. It's about bringing a change to this nation that lot of us are proud of being a part and call it our motherland. A nationalist's obsession/junoon for his nation is difficult to match.
"Those two elements together was enough to motivate a group of people to ensure that whatever else happened in the following month, success would not be one of them."
When someone who is your friend claims he brought Albania into India, you accept a deal without even consulting anyone and finally the same friend who was instrumental in the airstrike claims you'll prove to be the best CP. I don't see how anyone would not find anything wrong with that. You can't really blame the critics for that.
If that is how you choose to interpret laurels, then you understand nothing. If laurels, name and fame is what you think my game is about, you are even more hopelessly out of touch with reality than I would have thought possible.
I don't blame the critics for anything. They are, what they are. Rather than judge me on my actions and my words, they prefer to judge me on the actions and words of others.
Whether what you say is true or not, I am sad to see you begin your presidency on a note of discord. Better to remain silent as AV makes his farewell.
But I do not want to strike a note of disunity myself. I believe that your are the Man of the Hour, and I support you, and will continue to support you as long as you are giving your best efforts. No CP is perfect, not because he or she is flawed, but because this is an unpredictable world and eIndia does not have very good cards in its hand. Let the past be past. We now look to the future!
It takes courage to be honest, a very well written article indeed.I'm new and am unaware of what transpired but like everything else in the world, I'm sure people live and learn, and almost everyone gets a second chance!
Being the CP is always a difficult job, the electorate is fickle and you may not enjoy the same support you did during the election.
You may have had minor setbacks and bad decisions, i doubt it was much different that what most of the previous presidents would have done.
On the the positive side, you could say that now the electorate is more vocal now, we have more articles in the media than ever, something which previous terms have failed to produce.
I believe that there were not less than 2 articles written in the media per day.
So maybe some of the hours you invested might have been wasted but some also did reap benefits in the overall picture.
~hyuu~
Honest words.
It could just be me, but I felt a tinge of catharsis here. I hope eIndians feel a bit of it too. The closure you aim to provide, AV, should be appreciated. It should help people move forward.
Stay classy, friend.
T R U T H
o.O ...... U should have stayed away from high council ...... Whenever high council gets involved in something ....... Bad things for eIndia happens and later they present a scapegoat .
And congress is bigger then cabinet .....

AV you are no longer interesting. India got rid of you and your failing politics. We are united under our true leader UV Ajed...
You are blaming critics for your own faults, thats miserable but hey, you have proven your worth
India did not get rid of him 😛 He is still CP until the end of the day 😉
No harm to be done... He is gone same as you, UV Ajed ashamed you on these elections lol
its what happens when 53 people go up against 91. The sheep count tells 🙂 Vote along party lines 😉
oh please come on, you were destroyed on these elections
no point talking sense to you is there? im going to make one more attempt.
unless you were on the moon blindfolded you would have seen following the slur campaign on my PP there was an exodus of many of our active members. with that exodus I lost many of YUUVA's own sheep.
to put it bluntly Lord, if I didn't have my vacation to the Monaco Grand Prix I would still be PP today. This ridiculous PARTH IS A PTOER line would never have happened and the election today would have been much closer.
I'll agree with you that today's defeat is heavy if you look at those numbers but you would have to agree that there were some rather major extenuating circumstances this month.
UV Ajed is coming from the party which is having 20 members. Its your fault that you didnt get the support of other parties to vote you as well xD
Ok.This AV was here while you and Sam were god knows doing what in real life.He was there for eIndia through thick and thin.Bloody hell.He worked while Alector was impeached.Hamturk from ICP was impeached.Where the shit were you when the money was stolen.AV was there.You have no goddamned right to criticize AV.
He was with the guys who stole the money... I was there for India when I gave you everything, yet however u made PTOer of me lol
Vlad the jebeskrave incident which ruined us happened under your MoFA term.You were never criticized nearly as much as AV was.That war ruined us while AV's deal was not nearly as devastating as the war
What? I was marked as enemy of India when I got us 15 MPPs and we started winning wars against founder nation of EDEN. Thats the biggest success in Indian history...
Lets be honest,EDEN never had the unity and power to succeed.The only reason they were the best because they had only one competitor
Vlad take responsibility and respect AV's effort
One theme is especially agree with is unity. All our arguments should be focused on policy, not personalities, and should be about the future, not the past. I hope you will stay in eIndia, AV. You are wiser now than ever before. Do not be bitter; disappointment is the price of leadership. Please continue to share your ideas and, once you have had a good rest, your good services. India needs you! Indian needs all its faithful sons and daughters. Let us now all give Uv our support and, in defeat as well as victory, give our CP the benefit of the doubt. Three cheers for AV! Three cheers for Uv Ajed!
Alias, you are a credit to eIndia, you did all that you possibly could do. Hold your head high.
There are those who bitch and moan about the problems in eIndia and there are those who do something about it. You did something about it. For that I hope you will have the thanks of eIndians who know better.Those who don't know better think it requires a position of power in government -- or the government itself -- to help eIndia prosper and will therefore do nothing until elected or until they have the backing of that government. As is evident with our MU Commanders, one who leads does not need to be elected to a government position to lead. If that attitude persists, eIndia will never be free.
Lysander for CP!
Well done.
Respect *__*
I know this probably comes from a weird place, especially a somewhat unwelcome place. But brother, I have been CP - and I have gone through this exact moment. And it was not fun. I think we all try to do the job we can best do - one starts with a lot of hope and a lot of good things, and it all ends with half the nation always having hated you, and the other half hating you for not doing enough. More than anything else, your heart is in the right place. I'm sorry the time hasn't been easy, and I wish it could have been easier - but screw all that. You've behaved as a real eIndian, and there is some pride to take in that. I remember having been a part of the conclusion of the deal with eCroatia, and the number of things I had to hear to question my motivations. I think you've done a good job to weather the storm, and I commend you (I've admittedly not seen too much of it, I was inactive for most of it) but ...
Honestly, I'm far too verbose. Suffice it to say I think you're a good man who tried to do a good job with the best of intentions, and everything else is rubbish.
