[Congress] What you should do!
•
by Walter Bruce Willis
Congressional elections were five days ago. I can't say that I am very satisfied with performance in this term thus far, as short as it has been. I don't think there has been a good thing yet.
Bad things.
Bad: Tax on grain not discussed was denied.
Bad: Proposal for minimum wage undiscussed was denied.
Bad: A proposal to the Bank Of Seoul denied after we made it clear that it was fine on the forums to accept donations to the BoS at the current time.
Good: I cant think of any.
Now If you plan on getting into congress again and want my vote? Here you go:
1) Sign up for the eSK forums and get active on there. If you do not do this, you won't be able to follow day-by-day politics.
2) Following directions. Admittedly, this improved significantly the day Spade came into office. He sent PMs to every single congressman, letting them know that he did not want pointless and thoughtless proposals, guess what they still do that SO that would make you not GET VOTED In.
3) Prove to me that, even 25 days after you are elected into congress, you will still be active and participating
Some advice - don't try to impress other citizens about your tax policies, be whatever they might. Congress isn't the place to debate about the economy, that's why our country has the Economic Council. If you talk about your political views, economic views, and feelings about other countries in your congressional article/campaign/speeches, then you misunderstand the role of what you are running for.
To save you the trouble, here is the link to the eSK forums: http://esouthkorea.freeforums.org/ There are many useful threads in there that explain further the ideal congress process.
If you are wondering about the next Presidential elections be active looking for Ranger Nietzsche's newspaper he will be interviewing the Candidates and posting there answers in the news.
Minister Of Defense,

This lecture is from the ghost who is supposed to be MoD? Why not put your own house in order first?
You say we can't discuss economic matters? Why not? Congress is for making the laws.
I was a member on the old forum that I liked. I tried to join this new one but I wasn't sent an activation email so get that fixed. I am happy talking to people in PM anyway. I remember nasty people and bad language on forum before and at least I can report that in game. I don't like badman with nasty language and not beingnice to people who don't say yes yes yes sir all the time. Not you aarons but like.
Mo😨 What You Should Do!
It's been 2+ months since you issued a battle order of any sort. People find the battles on their own, but it still looks very bad and leads people to believe eSK has no army.
Speaking of which, does eSK still have the Korea Guard? You haven't written any recruitment article in quite some time. Your newspaper has become a political platform for your personal use and that of the KNP. It would seem the MoD has no way of communicating with the people...and you wonder why everyone seems so disaffected.
It's especially obnoxious to write stuff like:
"Prove to me that, even 25 days after you are elected into congress, you will still be active and participating"
when you don't seem to be actively recruiting or leading the armed forces at all...
Voted.
>Now If you plan on getting into congress again and want my vote?
Unless you have more than one vote I don't care.
Good day, Sir.
However this congress IS pretty terrible I agree.
Buthurt in MY Korea? I'll be damn..
1) I won't sign in any forums. EREPUBLIK has it's own forums. If you want to discuss anything, use it or use this NEWS system.
2) I follow my own directions, thank you.
3) Prove you what??? Who are you?
You say not to try to impress, but it's you who is trying to impress negatively. If you dislike this so much, why don't you go back to your little country and leave Korea for real Koreans? But please stop being a drama queen.
Do you play starcraft a lot?
Are you exited about SC2 ?
Is this am official Ministry of Defense article or just more of Aarons rants under the MoD name?
This is my own newspaper you people need to figure this out before posting.
@ The World Bank your a Organization what are you going to do about the Korean Guard? Are we at war? No we aren't. I can't send battle orders because I have to have congresses approval to keep neutrality. This is my newspaper so get it right.
If it's your personal newspaper, why is it named "Minister of Defense"? You repeat "this is my newspaper" like you're not even convinced of what you're saying.
Regardless of whether we're at war or not, you still need to recruit for the Korea Guard, make sure people know to fight in the training wars, and maybe have a weapons donation system set up. You've published a total of zero articles towards any of these goals this term, and it comes off as laziness to the public.
I was stating it to others and you. Its called Minister Of Defense because I am the Minister Of Defense. We already have a weapons system, everyone in the Korean Guard has fought in the training wars because of experience/knowledge the level they are. True I haven't published any articles. But since your nagging me to do so one will be coming soon.
Currently though in the Korean Guard we have enough members we don't need anymore for the current time.
"Currently though in the Korean Guard we have enough members we don't need anymore for the current time."
Enough members to, oh say, stop a Russian invasion? I didn't think so. By nearly any other country's standard the USA's military is way too big, and yet they keep recruiting, and keep having success in battle. Same goes for Russia, Romania, etc. Because everyone else is also constantly expanding, you can never have a big enough military in this game- I'm surprised a MoD would even suggest such a thing. If you have more members than you can handle, you need to improve the command structure.
Anyway, I'm sure eSKeans both young and old would enjoy a MoD article from you.
Has anyone actually had any weapons distributed to them in the last month? Everyone I've spoken too who is in the military says no.
We need a massive overhaul of the MoD and military and some new blood in there to make it active.
Most players like to play the military game and the cost of a few Q1 guns every other day is well worth it if we manage to keep a player active and feeling involved rather than dying of boredom or leaving eSK out of frustration.
Maybe we COULD overhaul the MoD if say we had....
MONEY IN TEH BANK OF SEOUL TO PAY FOR THINGS
Maybe if congress members would donate their gold we could afford to keep the military armed and buy into war games
>>I won't sign in any forums. EREPUBLIK has it's own forums. If you want to discuss anything, use it or use this NEWS system.
This is why people shoot themselves in the foot, not signing up on eSK's forums only means you are not exposed to information that people are too lazy to post in the newspaper.
>> I follow my own directions, thank you.
Then obviously (if you are a congressman) you are of no use to the National Assembly or to anyone in eSK.
>>Maybe if congress members would donate their gold we could afford to keep the military armed and buy into war games
A sane and rational suggestion that quite a few people seem to be missing. Bravo to you Stefanie! 🙂
Only 3 out of 40 congresspeople donated all/part of their treasure map gold to the bank this term. For all the whining, only 3 people actually tried to help? WTF is with you guys?

Can we just stop approving citizenship for like 3 months. Would be nice, these new people don't really seem to understand how to play the game.
At the least we should be testing the intelligence of these people.
@ The World Bank: Lets see you try to be MoD. Oh wait you never will.
I asked to join the army a while ago and didn't even get a reply.
We may as well not have an MoD as have such an inactive player as Aarons doing it.

I actually agree with Stalin-chan on this one...
I (shockingly) agree with Red Korea!
The MoD needs an active player to run it and the BoS could certainly afford it if the MoD had his 'stuff' together.
good idea stalin-chan, i think i'll write a quiz.
»» This is why people shoot themselves in the foot, not signing up on eSK's forums only means you are not exposed to information that people are too lazy to post in the newspaper.
People are too lazy to post in their own newspaper and are not lazy to post in a forum? I'm confused. South Korea is here and it's here where I'll do all the debates.
» Then obviously (if you are a congressman) you are of no use to the National Assembly or to anyone in eSK.
Why? Because i don't do what you command? Prove me wrong and i'll consider my options, but don't take them away from me. I have my own mind. Thank you.

Yes, it is a paradox the way it works, usually people post higher quality articles on erepublik to express personal opinion and then debate freely on the forums so opinions can better bounce back between people. You are missing some of the more crucial material of deliberation by just sticking to the dead media.

How does not voting or keeping up on the forums, the hub of all the activity in eSK, constitute as commanding you what to do? You may very well have your own mind, but being an obstructionist just for being an obstructionist is not a sign of free will, but stupidity. If you want your opinion heard accurately, sign up on the forums and START TALKING. Otherwise, just posting sniping and bombastic reviews in newspapers will not get you anywhere in the political arena or in the eyes of the public.
Thank you.
This new group of congress seems exceptionally stupid(no offense to those of you who are legit)
"You are missing some of the more crucial material of deliberation by just sticking to the dead media."
So newspapers are dead media now...well that may be true for eSK, but only because people can't be bothered, or lack the skill or creativity, to write thoughtful articles (that goes for you too Myung).

- So now I'm an obstructionist because i don't do what someone says the congress men to do? I'm not a sheep. That in fact is stupidity.
