KHMC CP selection begins
Nathan Aus
G'day again
There hasn't been enough beer in one brewery to get me through the last 2 or so days with the cloak and dagger going on so this is the only play I have left.
Before I get trolled, allow me to explain the situation I'm in. I'm not looking for blame of any sort, but it has to be handled and dealt with. I can't be in the middle on this anymore.
The deal.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs has announced in a public media article that a deal has been arranged with the Government of Finland in the form of a rental agreement. Some of our members have raised public concerns not only about what's on the table, but also about the lack of information presented.
Members of the Government have publicly responded that KnightHawk leaders were informed about the package. To date, our reps in Congress, our party and the KnightHawk Military Unit have either denied being informed, or in the least possible sense, denied being told the full story.
It has come to light that LanyIsLost, one of our two parliamentarians, has been privy to the deal not as a result of being a KHMC member, but as a Command member of her own military unit with ronnyjnrjnr. Ronny has now confirmed this.
AwesomeSal, our other rep in Congress, has denied receiving anything due to a Government refusal by Infowar. Turns out that Infowar makes it a pre-condition to add Congress members to his eRep friends list before sending them information. It's wrong, but that's his choice and no one is going to stand up and do anything about it, making any commonsense solution dead in the water.
Position
A few things haven't been quite right and a play on words has been key to selling who's right and wrong.
The bottom line is KHMC, as a party, have been completely in the dark on Finland, despite being the number 3 party in this country. The Government is sailing the country into a major geographical change of border security, including the added risk of illegal immigrants more easily jumping citizenship through the northern hemisphere of the game.
I have written to the Australian President requesting a detailed information package, also noting there's every chance I'll be denied.
Adding to the problem is our Military Commander Henry the 8th having a broken inbox and not doing much about putting things in place to delegate an active Command member to represent him in the life of the party.
Speaking of that, it's become known to me that the KH MU wish to continue operating out of sight, out of mind of the party, when there are political matters involved. If this was purely a military position with no policy angle at all, it wouldn't even be a big deal. At times like this, these relationships are crucial and there's no room for going off the reserve.
Where to?
The Government can withhold anything they wish, from anyone at any time. It doesn't make it right, it just makes it legal. Parties are political processes that should be consulted. Who knows what would have happened? With a bit of respect we could have had a chin wag and dealt with this like men, but now it's gone beyond that when I can't do my job and represent the concerns of my members.
Dr Hugh wrote an article, arguably tongue-in-cheek, but he is right. Summarising it, it's on a need to know basis. Dr Hugh knows I respect him and I'm proud to call him a mate, but as mates we're allowed to disagree. I can't support how the Infowar Government has gone about this.
How much is this rental deal going to cost the country? Reports to members last term indicated our finances are being expended at a greater rate than they're being made. Big concerns there.
How long is the deal for? Tag on that, logging in this morning I notice that Finland is trying to take Lapland back. I realise anyone can launch these bids in an active war but if Finland doesn't have the respect of its citizens to prevent rogue militias, how can Australians be sure the deal itself is secure from overpowering? KHMC Congress Member AwesomeSal laid out how little we make compared to the "friends" we have in the Finland, Sweden and Norway Alliance.
On that very point, with nothing to hold them to it by legal or game control standards, what will prevent a future Government of Finland from tearing it up?
This rent deal could be only until Congress and it could only cost a couple of tanks. If we're getting no information...... Get the point?
Action
It's been made clear to me that members want to be represented on it. Our Members of Congress have been put into a compromised position and the Party Presidents who aren't an MC or Cabinet Member are being kept out of the loop. We need a standard bearer and what we have isn't cutting it. I'm now wiping my hands of being in the middle, hit by Government and KHMC Member alike.
The only logical step left is for me, as President of the KHMC, to declare the opening of nominations and to pre-select a Candidate for Country President.
Members, send me your nominations to prepare a ballot.
Cheers
Nathan

Can I just say, it's not that Infowar makes people add him, it's that you have to be on someones friends list to be included in a mass PM with others. That's game mechanics, not Infowar.
I had the same issue with Lany in my term. She refused to accept my friends request, therefore I could not add her to the PM. Simple as that. Don't make out like it's any one elses fault bar "Awesome" Sal's.
Parties are not privvy to any information. At all. In the slightest. Until the entire public is informed. That's how it is. That's how it is in every country. This is why you have a cabinet and senate.
You aren't being kept out of the loop. Lany knows everything, if she doesn't share that's her problem, and I already explained Sal. Stop making out like this is some whole anti-Knighthawk propaganda BS. ADP members don't get informed of confidential government business either, you don't see them moaning about it. Jeez.
Oh and can I also point out that really, Lany shouldn't be sharing ANYTHING with ANYONE outside of senate, because certain things need to be kept quiet. Once they are made public, go nuts, talk as much about them as you want, but until things are made public they should not be getting discussed at all.
I didn't have a go at you Claire so please show me the same respect. I've had enough of the bullshit in this game. That goes for everyone in every party.
I'm not having a go. I'm not. I'm pointing out actual facts.
I'm tired of the BS too, specifically right now this BS that one party is being kept out of the loop. Guess what? For the most part, the entire country is kept out of the loop because some things cannot be made public or be discussed until certain times. It is the same in every country. There is no point in having organised military operations if you're going to tell the entire e-world exactly how you plan on executing those operations. Common sense! Cmon!
Mate, look AwesomeSal refused the invitation to join the senate PM which includes ALL senators by not accepting his friends request. Now you can not include people in a mass PM that aren't on your friends list. that is the game mechanics. AwesomeSal chose that, info tried to exclude her but she decided to put a petty argument over the KH's and the countries interests. Info rose above that and tried to include her so in that case she is in the wrong not infowar. She was given 2-3 days to accept.
As for lany, Lany was a 2nd Commander so got an invite to the Military Command CP...as did ALL Commanders and 2nd Commanders of major MU's. I repeat and i mean this with respect...but no...NO...party has been given Government information who aren't either cabinet members, Commanders/2nd Commanders of Aussie MU's or are Senators...let me repeat that - .NO party has been given Government information who aren't either cabinet members, Commanders/2nd Commanders of Aussie MU's or are Senators.
You can play the conspiracy route if you wish and your members can continue to claim that the Government are supplying members of other political parties and there is an old boy brigade. That's up to you guys but it's a shame that things have dragged that far into the gutter to be honest. I know people in KH will say they are not getting info...guess what? Government articles have always never been produced regularly unless it was mainly either myself or Claire doing them because that is our perffered form of communication to people instead of IRC and forums.
Now the old senate system was if AwesomeSal didn't sign up to the forums she would get nothing...no info on senate. Zilch. nada. Zero. She refuses to accept an invite to join the new system she gets the same. You should be looking at why your elected representative has locked herself off from taking part and not why the CP should have to go through hoops for ONE and only one elected senator who is being petty.
Bloke you got no idea. Nathan is about the only one in the KH who has been showing any kind of support for the Government and you want to hit the only one who gives a shit for your lot. Go on though have a crack at him and have no one left.
I can show you chain messages where members have called to move impeachment. Any idiot who can do math knows it would fall flat on its arse but it doesn't look good for a CP to have that kind of mark hanging over them. Nathan has been the voice of reason.
I don't like the Government, Infowar, you or the way your crowd operates. I'm up to take the knocks. It's only fair though that you should know Nath has been a good bloke and the government big mouths should think twice before shitting on him. He inherited a real steamer.
Government big mouths...care to prove and back up these big claims as well as your last one about an 'old boys brigade' lmao
...actually, name these people in this big boys brigade...this should be fun.
Hey MultiYo, this made me laugh - http://i62.tinypic.com/209g4tv.jpg
Instead of trying to liberate core regions which, as we proved last month, without an entire alliance and more behind us is impossible, you should be actively fighting in the battles we're asking you to, you know, the ones that will guarantee us a congress?! Maybe? Do you think? No? No. Course not.
TakeYo, the government, in my point of view, has done a pretty ok job in getting us a couple of regions so there can be elections next term. I'm definitely not a "big hitter," I barely can afford to do the minimum for the DO, however that's not the point. It seems to me that your just here to make a fuss to be honest. What the Knight Hawks do behind closed doors is no one's business bar their own, and so its the same thing with the government.
#Danman4prez2014 😛
Good Day. I said good day!
Well if I am included in the heavy hitters as I won 2 or 3 BH's it's about time I pack my shit up and use my candy bars for another nation
It's the right move. Nathan is responsible to the party to deliver and he's got nowhere to move on this. Put up a candidate for can.
People in and outside of the KH need to cut him some slack. He's done a good job.
eRepublik birthday

Do I know you?
Nathan is a good guy but let's face facts he's too close to Hugh Jardon to be an effective KHMC leader. The ADP junket has been attacking KH non stop and what does Nathan do? He says nothing but good things about the people attacking him and us. How does that work? Since DodgyHagrid won the presidency of the APP relations with them have been good but the Democrats still won't let up playing us vs them.
Any proof or is this like everything else from your mouth 'Mrs' Norton...like how other parties are funded by the Government lmao.
I have not released an ADP article in weeks, our new PP has not said a single thing about KH. Either you really are as mental as your real life stalker husband or you are, like i believe TJ just using yet another multi account.
Back up your claims with proof or STFU
If Cameron wants to bomb I.S. does he tell Nigel Farage?
wrong eCountry
But no, probably
Grand Master Pycelle, the standard of this article shows to me that you certainly are the best person not only to be PP of the KnightHawks but also CP
Things I got from this - quotes.
"The Government can withhold anything they wish, from anyone at any time. It doesn't make it right, it just makes it legal. Parties are political processes that should be consulted.
Dr Hugh knows I respect him and I'm proud to call him a mate, but as mates we're allowed to disagree. I can't support how the Infowar Government has gone about this.
Infowars, you want to ensure all the Aus community is on your side - you needed to do a bit more than what you were doing. It is not enough to say, this is my way. take it or leave it (that is called dictating, what dictators do )
Maybe a bit more respect, a bit more courtesy, a bit more political awareness is needed here.
Please do correct me if I'm wrong but it was my understanding that Sal was invited to the group PM (which you have to be friends to include people in) and that Sal refused the friend request. If she accepted and got added to the PM would this clear up the "transparency issue"?
To do my job as a congress member I'm forced to add people who have abused me? Makes a lot of sense..
The old system was to sign up to a forum the vast majority of Aus didn't use or refused to use due to a certain controversial admin. You signed up to do the job so do the bloody job and stop whinging. You won't join a mass PM set up by the CP, you refuse to sign up to the forums...how did you think you would discuss senate business? Telepathy? ffs
Your understanding is correct Dodgy, but how about considering this:
"Infowars: Sal, being friends or not has nothing to do with this - if you are listed as a friend I can include you in a group PM & so keep you, as a KH representative, up to date with governement plans etc.
Sal: I did not realise that Infowars, I hate your guts but thank you for taking the time to explain things to me - I have added you as a friend & actually my respect for you has increased somewhat."
Extra work for Infowars certainly, but that is part & parcle of the CP job - to ensure as far as possible, that as much of the community is involved - in fact he more or less said this in his bid for CP.
So we all can go on & on & talk about what is legal or we can look at what is right.
A bit like IRL our Prime Minister taking the time to talk to the Muslim community about Australia's proposed Anti Terror laws & how they will affect travel to the Middle East. He did not have to, but he is making the effort
Fair suck of the sav, I've had a gutful of this tripe. Every bloke and sheila going off like a bucket of prawns in the hot sun and this mob of dingoes havin' a barney over a hatful of stuffin'. I reckon me old mate has fair dinkum gone troppo if you get me drift. She's a rough old trot with the wrong end of the pineapple in the old johnny rotten. Strike me pink if you're not floggin' a dead duck before the gate's bolted.
My mind just melted
Hey mate if you don't like Australians why do you hang around us? I'll take a guess you're either a pohm or a yank. Can't help your bloody selves.
I think he is actually an Australian. I've never seen anything related to his real life nationality and i think he was just being humerous.
This is an absolute joke.
People didn't want to be active on the last forums, so new ones where made where it is not compulsory to be on them for senate issues, so an in-game pm was made so senators can get the info without going out of their way and because they wont accept a friendship request to be part of the mass pm the government gets blamed.
Absolute joke how people are sitting back not even trying to make anything work
Also did you not receive a reply from Infowar, like 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after this article was produced?
Also http://prntscr.com/4ey1wz I am pretty sure Sal knew a week ago that she should of down something about being in the loop. Within a couple of minutes of Sal saying something I cleared it up with Infos original pm statement.
Possibly should find all information out before making claims that only one side is at fault
Let me have the pleasure of calling you a liar. Your comment cleared up what I suspected and that was Infowar trying o hold me to ransom by refusing to disclose information to me as a member of congress all because I wouldn't accept that vile pig's friend request. You saw the tripe he was going on with directed at me personally and other KnightHawks in the Australian Man article? You should have Guagature because you commented there. Or do you magically deny that now too?
Funny how if like the old system you didn't sign up to the forums you got no info...you never signed up to the forums did you either? So you do **** all and expect people to run after you? You get paid 5 gold as a senator and do **** all to earn it. yeah, nice attitude TJ...sorry...Mrs TJ
We've already pointed out to you - if you aren't on the friends list, you can't be added to the PM. If you can't make a step forward and compromise, why should anybody do that with you?
You idiot, in the print screen I put up shows that you knew there was another thread, you knew somebody (yourself) would not accept a 5 minute friendship to get the information.
You did not go out of your way to rectify it.
Want an easy answer?
Sign up to forums and the whole lot can go back there for discussions.
Want an easier answer?
If you don't want to play by the current CP rules, don't sign up for comngress
Dr Hugh Jardon TJ...sorry...Mrs TJ
Did TJ have a sex change??
Yes, AwesomeSal is apparently TJ Norton's wife in real life. Shocker eh? I am not joking, no wonder she didn't make it public as a couple of her party colleagues said she would.
Wow such a big secret. Btw TJ asked if you and Claire are still making multis like what got you booted out of the eUK when you cried like a baby because people said you and Claire were the same person?
Mud sticks hey bucko 🙂
I would like to put forward my nomination for KHMC selection for CP.
