Is the Oinyo Administration Being Disingenuous Inregards to Talks with Spain?
crisfire
In this article by Acacia Mason http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/neutering-the-tax-advantage-2341917/1/20 eCanada's current Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr.Manhattan states that before a few of us got all uppity about Spain planting its big behind on our eastern provinces
"The eCanadian government was in talks with Spain to get regions back,get rent, and early talks to get tax back due to the recent changes."
For reals?
Not region(s) but region and even that wasn't for sure and would only be talked about after all four regions were reoccupied
Yet in all the screenshots provided by the government rent and getting tax revenue back has never been mentioned
Dr.Manhatten is LordBeorn in IRC
I cant find one reference to Spain paying rent or returning tax revenue

These screen shots were provided to Congress in Open Door Congress but not in its entirety to the public in game
Was there more talks?
If so please provide the screenshots or links and ill stfu
My favorite part is the end when CP Oinyo says
"An official article will come out shortly and perhaps because I am so happy we are still friends...I may make a vid as well"
Still waiting on the vid though so you can tell us we are such good friends with Spain...you know that country that had us wiped for 8 months and now threaten another wipe unless we give them back OUR 4 regions they just had rent and hassle free until now
ahhhh.....friends
eCanada are you ready to go back to the friend zone with Spain and never get to touch the boobies?
Comments
I actually hope I'm proved wrong here just so I can see the reaction from Spain when Oinyo and team ask for money
I'll show Spain this article to get you your response.
Ill be waiting impatiently to see if eCanada asked for rent and tax revenue returned and more importantly thier answer
Feel free to contact elMengu.
Ill wait for the Administrations response first and answers to the questions here and in CDC
You'll get answers for your next article. CDC responses will remain CDC.
Yep, you should reveal and attack spain, before they completly hold the poor portus..
It was quite a happy ending... congrats to both presidents, cause love is the key!
My favorite is him sending exact GL pms to both the spainish and potrugese CP's wishing them both GL in the war and he'd be cheering for them.
I like this. I'm sure the US was cheering for both sides in the Iraq, Iran war. Just for neither to actually win. Just kill each other for as long as possible.
Good strategy except for that quite a few of us like Portugal.
I say we nip over the water and say hello to the eUK for a bit 😉
I consider eUK the best frenemies eCan could have.
I liked the line about a mutual benefit....when it's not. We get no benefit and they get all the benefits.
Lord Beorn disingenuous... Never!
I'd rather be wiped and proud than having a few regions blowing poultry lovers
As MoFA I take it upon myself to build relations with other countries and in some of these discussions, that are not official government meetings, things come up. What I said was true but I doubt much will come of it now. You have made it clear you would rather be wiped so lets see how far your resolve goes, cause looking at CDC it looks like MDP want the best of both worlds, well it aint gona happin captin.
So when we attacking the redcoats?
I want to see where you asked Spain for rent and tax revenue returned
Get their MoFA to verify that
you are not going to see it, it was a conversation long ago bud.
doubt they will verify it now lol, you guys wanted to play 'rebel government' well you are getting all of eCanada your rewards.
your full of shit
anyway
Didnt Oinyo say that this is all part of the new plan and after Spain is finished with Portugal they will NE us and take back the 4 regions then a new NAP will be negotiated?
Are you saying youve given up on that plan due to the possibility of a few in eCanada decision to start RW's or are you going to negotiate a new NAP and hope that we cant do to much damage
Has the Oinyo administration given up on friendly relations with Spain?
When was this conversation long ago? with who? and how much did you ask for? and how much tax revenue returned was ask for? and more importantly what was their response?
please respond to all the questions as itll be part of my next article
so when did these "long ago" discussions take place
youve been MoFA for 13 days and the new occupied region tax thing is what...5 or 6 days old
still waiting for a response to all the questions and once you answer ill PM your Spanish counterpart to verify the details
in your statement you said "early talks to get tax back due to the recent changes" so were these early talks or long ago talks?
in regards to your forum post. I think I'v been the one mainly talking with eSpain were all of these things came up. Doubt anyone else from the administration would have been in talks over the same matters.
you didnt answer any of the questions yet
as MoFA are not the governments representative?
Did Oinyo know about your talks with Spain?
Answer the questions pls
The answer to your question, crisfire, is that people here don't get paid IRL, to provide you with answers to petty questions.
Role-playing as a reporter/lawyer is cute. But your the only one in the room unfortunately.
hey merc shut it and go back to sleep
still waiting on some answers Beorn
Quit being a roleplaying nerd, you nerd.

Let's touch the boobies!
I've already been touched by the finger of greatness!
you're welcome
When you hinge your arguments against something on the same point, people will eventually look into it. That's what this is. If the CP and his compadre have any proof to back up their claim about rent and tax revenue, this would be the time to post it.
not really, we do not have to release everything single thing we have talked about just because a journalists asks us to. We released some. You want to see more right now then go through the courts 😃
"This is a candidate that listens and changes for the people 🙂 if there is something you do not like.. tell me and if people agree with you it will be dumped.. On the same note though.. if you DO want something.. Let me know and it will be added." - Oinyo
From: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-oinyo4cp-my-cabinet--2335451/1/20
"I dont believe in hiding things.. If you have time to dedicate to hard work there is zero reason to be sneaky and do underhanded things." - Also Oinyo
From: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-oinyo4cp-a-second-chapter-2334463/1/20
I'd like the proof then, please. Yes, you have the right to refrain from releasing it, but Oinyo ran under the premise that he would be open to the people. We're some of those people, and we'd like answers, please. Either you're hiding something, or there's no hard work involved.
If Oinyo stated the release of everything then you kind of have to release everything. However, this is an online game... who cares. The people bitching about their eGovernment keeping things from them have probably never called their RL Government to address RL issues... ironic.
I just find it funny how much people expect of their peers on this game just because their the leader of a fictitious group with no actual responsibility, and no actual salary paid to justify the upkeep of that responsibility.
To actually quote specific text a person wrote one day. Wow. To the guys who do this, do you even vote IRL? Or pick up the phone IRL to call your congress? Do you watch electoral debates and take notes IRL? Cause if you guys only do this online an eGame, that is very interesting.
Again, just a funny contrast me thinks. Oh well.
I feel like you just came out of a coma and noticed this. First of all, not everybody's old enough to vote, and a fair amount of people here likely do vote, seeing as most of us who joined a political/military game are of that kind of mind. Also, the difference between being one citizen of a country of 900~ and one of 35 million is kind of a big difference, so making a comparison to our actions here vs. IRL is hardly a fair one.
It takes a lot less effort to pay attention in the game than IRL, though. I didn't have to go scrounging for quotes, I found them in his articles leading up to the election, reminding him of what he promised in his campaign, and what he fails to do now.
This isn't the only place you've brought the same thing up, but I'll say this: If you don't care about what happens while playing the game, why are you playing it?
More "Completely Open Government"
I've always preferred a closed government that I trusted, and they would deliver and communicate the results appropriately.
I'd only expect an open government if I can't trust them.
Why should the government share any information with people openly hostile to the nation and it's international agreements? What right to do you have to demand anything? Once again you want things both ways. Agreements between parties are made in good faith which you are doing your best to destroy.
I believe it is safe to say there will be no agreements if we continue our current path and I don't have to be part of any talks to be sure of that.
Heres my problem ED and I thought you might want to know those answers aswell
Dr.Beorn can not go ahead and say we were gonna get this this and this but you guys went ahead and did that when its clear there was no this this and this
We are not hhostile to the nation we are hostile agaisnt foriegn invaders
holy salted toe from high above!

Day 2,190, 11:17
crisfire: "please respond to all the questions as itll be part of my next article"
crisfire: "you didnt answer any of the questions yet"
crisfire: "still waiting for a response to all the questions and once you answer ill PM your Spanish counterpart to verify the details"
This feels like a Congress discussion about serious matters, but conducted in an article. There is hope that debates about policy can be conducted in the most transparent medium available to eRep players: in-game articles.
I'm hopeful one day that hard-hitting questions and well documented evidence (screenshots, references to other discussions, etc.) can be part of serious policy development in the media and not be principally used as smear tactics or political leveraging. (not that those don't have a place here, keep at it!) We don't even need a Speaker to regulate the questions crisfire is posing the administration...great stuff!
You. I will learn the way of troll from you. Your kung fu is strong.
It is a bit insensitive to label political movements as troll kung fu. : (
Us forum-challenged folk have rights, too.
You make a good point. I thought you were being sarcastic at them 🙁
Well, maybe a bit. But this is a great article asking some very informative questions and it'd be great to see more like this here.
So this is what the MDP voice of politics has descended too.

Old political trick. Make issues where no issues exist. Make a lot of noise. Wave your hands around. Light your hair on fire. Create the illusion of importance and eventually someone will pay attention.
I liked it better when I could trust to read something of substance here. This voice of opposition just to oppose is worse then partisan, it's boring.
You didn't seem to mind a couple months ago...
that whole PTo thingy, that was so yesturday for them
