Dear friends,
I’ve returned to the eUK today ingame, though not under the best of circumstances. My home party, The Unity Party, has suffered a few problems of late. MWCerberus, a guy I and my party trusted from long experience, decided to run a list of candidates from his MU for congress instead of TUP members. Of the top 13 candidates, three of them are TUP members including MWCerberus (who can probably no longer be considered as such). The rest are members of other parties who have moved across to take advantage of this. MWCerberus has taken advantage of our trust in him in the same way Chewie did.
None of these players are members of TUP, all are running to take advantage of the PTO. What’s more, right at this moment the UK is under PTO threat from another UK party who is importing Serbian voters. At last count there were around 30 who have entered the UK now, and more are accepted every day. At a time when a divided community is the worst possible thing to happen here, the UK’s community is now divided.
A day in the life of the eUK. With an incoming foreign PTO threat which could result in any of the weaker three parties being taken over at the next PP election, the UK could really do with the support of it’s largest party. Unfortunately Dental Corps MU think that we should just accept that we have been taken over, and vote for them anyway. At the next election, we should then move to vote to protect other parties, despite the fact that doing so would likely mean another month without control from us, as they used this to take control again.
Dental Corps guys will talk about “butthurt” and try and place the blame on us. But it’s obvious that the responsibility for a PTO lies with the PTOers, and the outcome of that PTO is that TUP is internally focused for at least the next month as we’re forced to try and recover the core of our party. It has caused a deep breach of trust in the UK between formerly friendly groups, and could potentially prevent future governments, ATO actions and so on from forming.
For example, the current MoD team is entirely made up of Dental Corps members. Both of which are part of the current PTO attempt and are running as candidates from our party. Why should TUP members follow orders or have any respect for two people who would try to destroy their party? The government’s ministers are supposed to remain above internal party politics, nevermind actively trying to destroy a party which supported their CP for government.
Speaking of which, TUP has supported four good candidates in the last year- BlueAndEvil, ACroc, Carlini and NWG himself for President. We are happy to support parties which show us friendship and present a better candidate for us to vote for. We haven’t had a closed attitude towards other parties since 2009 when we were first defining our identity and didn’t want to just become a party which supported other players. A big divide in the UK now could damage relations when they are finally getting to a good level.
I expect to see condemnations of this action from all the major parties- after all many of you have experienced first hand what it is like to lose control of your party. ESO and UKPP in the last month alone. The fact that TUP’s PTO only has an indirect threat to the rest of the community does not make it any better. I am also expecting the President, NWG, to join in my condemnation of the Dental Corps for their selfish actions.
To TUP members, I urge you all to vote for UKRP, or if you can’t stomach that (they’re alright really) not to vote at all. As UKRP only have 6 candidates, any votes going to them over the first 15% will simply block candidates from running without actually adding anyone new to the chamber. That way we can’t be accused of not helping block out PTO votes, as whatever congress seats we would have held simply won’t exist this month.
DO NOT VOTE TUP for congress

First
I dont' like any PTO, any. Quizzes are fun, PTOs are not.
If I had to choose between Keers or Wayne, I'd choose Keers. Basic Alpha logic.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*Gasp for breath*
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.
Maybe you should have done something about this over a year ago when he did the exact same thing to another party?
Oh no instead you enjoyed having the support of his active core of supporters no matter how dubious their loyalty was.
You deserve no sympathy from anyone.

In all honestly, when some people approached me for a PTO of New Era when I was PP, I declined and TUP people agreed with me then. You should keep that in mind.
Like you could actually pull that off.
Lol LF, not like senior member of TUP have been actively trying to organise a PTO of New Era this month or anything
oh my Lord Farhan... http://prntscr.com/3d3w6o A TUPer trying to organsie a PTO of a rival...
Was it hard reading in my month? This was just Kravenn trying apparently from what it looks like, however this SS may be a fake. When I was approached, I declined and at that time everyone agreed. That's a fact.
TUP hierarchy:
Kravenn > LordFarhan
Apparently the PTOer knows more about us than the person in party himself. Reminds me of the Serb PTOer Atonsomething going on how he knew the eUK better than us.
Er all these "PTOers" are TUP members.
for the first time in my life.
i have to agree with Goku Jones! o/
I feel dirty but I'm also agreeing with Goku
Are you trying to suggest you are more important in TUP than Kravenn?
LMFAO!!!! YOU DESERVED THIS! RUBBISH CPS OVER AND OVER AND POWER CRABBING N**BS! DOWN WITH THE TRUE CANCER OF UK... TUP
keyboard broken BA?
voted
second?
😃
But I am running for speaker... 🙁
Hue.
Oh boy.
voted, gl
Grats Keers. Enjoy your stay in UK.
TUP members who REALLY don't like Dental Corps, but also don't want New Era/Serbian PTOs to get in, should not abstain but vote PCP. Guaranteed no PTOers in our Congress candidate list at all. o7
agreed with this, if you won't vote TUP then vote PCP or WRP
Yeah I don't really get the favoritism to UKRP. Just because they're an old and 'noble' party like TUP Keers? 😛
PCP dayum old too, jus' sayin' 😛
Vote for someone who's not NE. That is quite literally all that matters right now. Yes a party that is undergoing internal changes is important, but we should remember that the PTO is much more dangerous. Don't abstain, Use your votes strategically ladies and gents. If you see that a party has secured all their seats, vote for another one to block out the NE.
It's simple. UKRP only have 6 candidates. If they get enough votes for 10 congress seats then 4 congress seats that could otherwise go to people who will let in PTOers will remain vacant.
It's not that simple: NE will have so many PTOers in Congress; if you want to lessen TUP's influence under DC, fine, but if you don't put more non-PTOers from other parties up, then your vote into the party with a complete list is a wasted vote that could put another PCP candidate with good credentials in, who would vote according to the eUK's interests. It's a matter of proportions of Congress. \o/
3 of which are DC members, way to show us guys!
Sorry. I've already explained but you're clearly too stupid to understand.
Read this http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Congress_elections#Changes_in_the_political_module
Did you read what I wrote? You're not stupid, but you are a condescending douche. o7
Yes having 4 less votes to use against PTOers because of spite is a great idea Dan Moir. Well done 🙂
And more cs passes per PTOer because cs passes are distributed over all CM, not limited per CM. Not a good idea to have less seats.
After looking up mechanics, those seats could easily go to somebody so PTOers that are actually hostile to the euk would get less cs passes to go crazy with. Instead you decide "oh well leave empty seats anyway cause we oldf*gs are butthurt"
Great job TUP, your superior knowledge of game mechanics will surely help the euk for the better...
of course!
stealing congress seats is the same as stealing millions of eUK tax money....
GRASPING AT STRAWS!
Surely not voting TUP for congress would help these Serbian PTOers into congress. Seems like a terrible plan to not vote for these obviously loyal and active members of the eUK who would stop the Serbian PTO. I thought you were meant to have some intelligence Keers. Poor on your part.
VOTE TUP FOR CONGRESS!!!
As Keers said there is an incoming foreign PTO threat.
Vote for the good old fashioned British one instead, the one that has already made our politics interesting again (hell Keers even came back for a bit of the action!)
VOTE BRITISH! VOTE TUP-UKPP-PCP-UKRP-TRS-SKA SUPER ALLIANCE!
Yes, don't vote and give DC a higher vote percentage which means more Congress seats... You must be part of the DC plot to PTO the eUK...
That's not how it works. Go look up game mechanics
Could you explain it to me? If you get 50% of the votes you get more seats than if you got 20% of the votes (over-exaggeration of what will happen, but the point remains the same). Maybe I am wrong somewhere but I cannot see it after looking it up.
Nah just vote UKRP! They're cool.
Yes, do that! Definitely none of DC in their list!
