The vote counting is over and now it's official: I have been elected as CP of eUK. This article will quickly summarize what my immediate steps will be.
Step 1
Realize I made a huge mistake.
Step 2
Denial.
Step 3
Acceptance.
Step 4
Right, so the admins picked an unfortunate time to start an event and implement the new MPP changes, as now
Lastly, I want to thank you for voting for me. All do my best to fulfill my election promises and get UK wiped.

Maybe the admin picked an unfortunate time, but also maybe we picked you at an unfortunate time 🙂
And the update thing, contact some bigger country to fill their % 😃

The fun part of your term will be when an ally picks UK as part of it's 15% damage for an important round of a battle and you realise no one is fighting because the UK has invested nothing in the infrastructure of its military for years. Then you'll remember the strikes set up last term that you couldn't be arsed with maybe would have been of some benefit now...
It'll be fun criticising you and I'm expecting the vocal minority to do the same.
Criticism is needed where it's due but shouldn't you have waited a day or two tosee if there was anything to criticise?
Criticism for having a life instead of turning up to poorly thought out and organized strikes is unjustifiable
Don't really think there is any point answering your question as you misinterpreted the whole comment, you read what you wanted to and ignored the rest. I looked but I couldn't find the bit about criticising someone for having a life, maybe you can show me.
"you'll remember the strikes set up last term that you couldn't be arsed with"
I assumed he/she/it had something better to do than take part in some half arsed "strike" Your words certainly qualify as criticism
So you assumed I was criticising someone for 'having a life' from me not writing it?
Nobody could be arsed with them strikes, including you, you're a MU commander, I wonder if you advertised them to your MU or did you assume that they had better things to do? The point of the original post was to highlight how piss poor the UK will be under the new MPP rules as we have very little damage direction. In order for the UK to be of any use to bigger allies it needs to be.
Say Serbia has a important battle and says to the UK, you hit in round 8, we'll deploy you as an ally in that round, show us what you got. That is essentially a strike, something which no one can be arsed with... And at some point this term the people who couldn't be arsed with it last term will be asking people to take part in.
God knows what you'll assume from all this, but have at it.
So you're criticizing the current CP for the failures of previous administrations? How does that work?
As for the strikes, calling a strike with no prior discussion to decide when to hold it isn't the best way to ensure attendance. A dictat out of the blue from a normally silent MOD is unlikely to be well received.
Simple reason why no one bothered, Rory. Because they are a naff idea. Have been for years which is why no one really does them anymore. No one will wait about till a set time, pointless setting a time, damage isn't always needed at 6pm on a Thursday. That ain't how the game flows.
No one will fight because the eUK has a culture of political play over military play. Many people have pointed this fact out over the years. Our old active accounts were more likely played by guys that just wanted to roleplay rather than guys like FragUK. This is the main reason why we have slumped to shit tier levels...
I don't think anyone will criticise him because of that....
Sheeeeiiiiiit, what you said made Sexagenarian take a politician's side. You should get some sort of achievement for that on your profile.
Day 3,580 - The day Sexagenarian turned his back on the average player and sided with the evil tax stealing politicians.
Erepublik history right there.
It's simple human psychology. Sexa is a pragmatic player , he understands that people ain't gonna hang around till a certain time in order to drop a few millions worth of damage,
Best way to get what Rory requires is to have a whatsapp group (or something similar) in order to get notified when damage is required. People often check their fones when it dings, no one is sat next to the PC/laptop refreshing a page 24/7... How many will be up for it? A handful probably, but I'm sure you guys can pool some money together and incentivise people to partake. Require money and effort, which most eUKers lack though.
