Disappointed Player - About CP Elections and E-Australian Community
•
by Albeck
First of all, let me introduce myself. As you can see, my nick in this game is Albeck. In real life I am just a regular guy, writing my master thesis and trying to get degree in IT Project Management. In few days I will be 24. I am enjoying running, soccer, technology, going out etc. All in all, just an everyday guy.
I think that would be enough about my IRL life.
I am not a completely new in this game. I played for a short time (maybe 2 weeks) a while ago and don’t really remember my nickname but what I do remember is that eAustralia was much different place to eLive in.
I know I could get a lot of negative comments because of what I am going to write, but let it be. Although this is just my second day in this game some things are obvious.
So let´s start:
1) CP Elections: WHY, but really WHY would I vote for any candidate running for this position? Can I see their article in newspaper about their policy or anything regarding this elections? No. Not even one. Why are you even running if you are too lazy to even do a short campaign or are you expecting me to vote for you just because I like your avatar the best or because you are member of the biggest party? C’mon guys. Nobody of you deserve my vote or anyone’s vote. Let me ask you again. Why are you even running? CP medal or just to prove someone you can do it? Or you and your party just don’t want anyone else be a CP? ONE day before election and there is nothing, but I mean nothing about your campaigns, policies, goals or anything. Good job guys!
2) E-AUSTRALIA COMMUNITY: Does something like that even exist in this game or you are just bored for a few hours in your real life so you come here and work/train and maybe fight. Ok, I get it. It is a small e-country with just a few players and it is not to be expected that this is going to be a vibrant community. But what about those that are elected on major positions in this game, like: CP, Ministers, Senators, Party Presidents, Army generals and so on. What in a hell are you doing? Back in the time when I played this game for the first time in just a few hours after registering I got messages from few Party Presidents offering me help and telling me why should I join their party? There were also elections going on and there were a lot of articles and personal messages campaigning for candidates running in those elections. Of course, Department for new players also offered me a help and anything I need. So, maybe we have just a few players, but those who are elected on positions mentioned above should do something to change that. What do we have now? Just a few random articles in media, IRC with no people on and dead forums.
Last comment on forums was written on December 2nd, two people online (me and infin, who is always there. And it’s like that whenever I log in)
Also, it would be nice to change the orders so we can defend our e-country.
And one more question. Is there anyone in charge for Immigration? If there is why do we have people there who are waiting for a few days (according to the post of one of them on my militia wall he is waiting for more then 3 days) although they seem to be quite OK. If they will not be accepted I think the public should now the reasons and the names.
Again, I am sorry if my article will offend someone but this just doesn’t make any sense. C’mon people, let’s do something and make this place worth playing in.
Kind regards,
Albeck

Are you new player to this game?
As I wrote above, I played before but actively just for a 2-3 weeks. I had some IRL issues so I wasn't able to play it. But that short period of time was more then enough to show me how things are F up now.
Just 2-3 weeks long time ago?
You seems to be very enthusiastic then. No time to waste - a direct question:
Are you ready to help our eNation?
I am enthusiastic. I loved this game when I first started to play and if my IRL situation was different back then I would be one of THE players 😛. At least I like to think so. And my answer on your question is: YES, I am. 🙂
Some basic information:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-doi-it-is-time-to-use-this-newspaper--2472270/1/20
Open the links in Education part and read the articles there.
It definitely is much different than it was.
1 - Try to know the community to you say something about us.
2 - You created this account yestarday. Me and Dio made articles about the CP running a few days ago...
3 - It is not lazy, we work for our country doing a lot of things, so if we are not doing an article it is because we can't, not because we don't want to.
4 - As you can see here http://www.erepublik.com/br/newspaper/global-media-299076/1 I write a lot, more than a lot of people here in Australia, so try to know us before say something.
5 - As you didn't do or problably will not, I'm ADF Marshal, JDS Co-Dicrector, dSC of LETO (as you probably don't know as well, our alliance), and President of APP.
6 - English is not my real lenguage so if you can see a lot of mistakes is because of that.
Cheers!
Thank you for your comment S. Khan. What I do know is that there is no any proper campaign. You wrote article stating you will run for CP, not much is said there to be honest. But, in any case, I apologize for saying you did not publish anything. But still, I would like to know much more then you wrote there and would like also to know which people will be working with you. I am new so the names wouldn't probably mean much to me, but anyhow public should know. Also, instead of stating what I know or don't know you should offer me help, informations and even to campaign for my vote. I am a new player here, you want me to stay. You said you want activity in your article. Here is your chance, make sure I stay in this game (by referring to you, I mean anyone interested in leading this country) or you don't know how to increase activity like you don't know how to change our military situation (you wrote that in your article. You say you don't have any idea how to do so and you are ADF Marshal). Great!
But I'm working in those areas to figure what to do.
If you search for the ex-CP's, you will see that no one knows what to do. The problem in activity is old, not new, and is very difficult to solve. Same in military. I can't promisse you something and if I get elect, not do what I said that would do.
Other thing, as you said, you are new, as new you can't attack our comunity and who is working for the good of our country. First of all you need to try to understand, and, you din't do that. So, why should I offer help to you, if in your words you think that know everything? Why should I want your vote if you are attacking me before know who I'm...
We have a lot to do here, but we will only solve our problems and grow up if we don't attack ourselfs and try to work together.
Cheers!
Respectfully Skarus, I disagree. Or, you are not looking back far enough 😉
Skraus, besides your 'I'm running for CP' article you haven't made one for 20 days....
We still haven't heard from you about your team, or policies...
I know your probably busy, we all are, but don't hate on him, because his article is basically spot on...
Yes it is not lazy, but if you don't have the time then don't run. We need to see articles from key political and military positions.
Again the general theme of this comment is not directed at you, the eAus community is in a fragile state and we need a really active CP that can work the politics to get us into a better position.
My team? Here we go: Blackwood as vCP; J Seemore as MoF and Paul as his dMoF; Mick as MoEE, Mongoosier as his dMoEE; Saiwun as MoFA; WyvernJack as MoD and DIO as his dMoD, if WyvernJack don't accpet, I'll put DIO as MoD.
It is good to see you guys talking about activity, so let's start: Say one person that publish or make more articles than me now-a-days. Other thing, I made one at APP org and one on ADF Journal, so, was not 20 days.
And other thing, the President don't need to publish articles by him self. As you know he has his staff, with person that can help him with that.
Now here I make a proposal to both of you: If I win, do you want to work with me as Ministery of Propagand? Or something like that, making article to let people know what is going on? Because as I can see, you guys are committed with this area, and no better person for this area than you two.
Good point about the Org, and Party posts, i didn't think to count them in. Hard to know who is actually posting them usually because they usually sign off with 'Role' instead of their name (which i guess is ok).
I based my '20 days' comment on the New's Paper in the link you supplied as well...
'Now here I make a proposal to both of you: If I win, do you want to work with me as Ministery of Propagand? Or something like that, making article to let people know what is going on? Because as I can see, you guys are committed with this area, and no better person for this area than you two.'
I am cool to make Articles for you if you give me information to write about, it can even just be a topic and I'll research it and write about it if you want 🙂
Khan,
I am not attacking you personally or anything like that. You should want my vote and you should want me here to stay even if not as your e-buddy or party member. That is how you build healthy community. But OK. You may be very active and you may work a lot to make eAustralia as good as you can help make it (I don't know that because I am new, but lets say it is so) but man, you are not a good politician (and I can say that after this discussion).
Best luck on CP election.
If you had contact me before making this article of course that I would help you. Everyone knows that I talk and try to help everyone. But this article is agressive.
Put yourself in my position, working a lot, doing everything that I can, and suddenly a guy with just few days in the game say untruth about you before try to know about you. Can it make sense to you? Do you think that your reflex about your article is "hey, why don't I help this guy and say that he is right about everything? Why don't I say welcome?"
No man, it is not. If you want to talk or learn, I'm here, I always will be here. But just if you want to talk, not to acuse and say bullshit about what you don't know 😃
I'm not putting myself as victim and don't you put yourself as victim as well.
Skraus, I did not feel that what Albeck said was aggressive nor did it appear to me as an attack on you.
Nevertheless, I agreed with what he said.
Thank you Seemore. I will definitely read that.
Meh.... Good article 🙂
Can't take anything a politician says at face value...
Albeck, the important thing that has lead to the demise of the community in general is the new game mechanics that Plato has introduced.
This has made the community shrink from previous years and also caused the reason for people to not fight for a higher position ie; it is quite easy to be a leader/head of a department without having to justify your position anymore
It will be hard to get the community back involved especially if everything is closed off to only a few key people
Ahhhh the forums. Well that has been a thorny issue for a few years, in fact it was just last year that the current PP of the Knighthawks started a petition to have one of the long term admins removed which was supported by the majority of the community. When i was CP i took the Government away from the forums due to an admin being previously fired and she refused to leave the Cabinet IRC room and still accessed Cabinet sections on the forums, also we had a well respected MoD banned from the forums by an anonymous admin for ''spying'' which clearly was a ban for personal issues...so, I asked for democratically elected admins and mods and the owner (who rarely plays eRep anymore) refused...so i helped create a new forum with elected admins/mods. To be honest the draconian and out of date forum laws that over rule the game itself justify my actions...i know there is in place a 'law' where at times of a wipe you have an undemocratic senate made up of unelected players (active or not) who can over rule a democratically elected country President. In my opinion any CP that bows to those laws doesn't deserve the public's confidence in elections tbh.
I couldn't name the current set of admins but i would take a bet they are people that the nearest they have been to a cabinet in the past year was when they drove past Ikea...
*Sorry meant to say -
Ahhhh the forums. Well that has been a thorny issue for a few years, in fact it was just last year that the current PP of the Knighthawks started a petition to have one of the long term admins removed which was supported by the majority of the community but the owner refused to listen.
LOL 😂😂😂
Think it was just after that that i first joined...

o7 bro
The world was a different place before v.2.0.
The world population was cut in half as a result of v.2.0.
Three billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two Terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human resistance, John Connor, my son. The first Terminator was programmed to strike at me in the year 1984, before John was born. It failed. The second was set to strike at John himself when he was still a child. As before, the resistance was able to send a lone warrior, a protector for John. It was just a question of which one of them would reach him first.
you just have to make a go of what is available. a lot of people rage quit eaus and think the grass is greener elsewhere. welcome aboard!
The Terminator: I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.
Talk to the hand!
Hudson: Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen!
