Hello and a big welcome to all you ESO members, eUK members or even those from far off lands...that includes you frenchies. This is the second edition of The ESO Times and this is the first of our weekly updates. Inside we'll have the latest news, battle orders and results, a couple words from ESO's PP and ESO's sexy members as well as puzzles and helpful links for ESO members and of course anyone else in the eWorld. Now shall we begin? Of course we will!
This week has been a busy week for ESO, CP elections, A new media team and changes in the ESO Constitution. ESO has handled it well.
CP Elections
This month we decided to put forward our own candidate, Betafoxtrot. This is a big change from usual and is a progressive step for ESO. Unfortunately, we came 2nd in the results, after a hard battle with TUP. We congratulate Talon, and give him ESO's support for the next term which will face many challenges ahead.
New Media Team
ESO has formed a new media team with GTorge and Sambo112 at the helm. The aim of the new media team is to improve communications, show the thoughts of ESO members and most importantly to add some more fun to ESO. We hope these ambitions will be achieved and furthered.
Changes to the ESO Constitution
Recently Lily Summers opened up the constitution to editing, many enthusiastic people came to help out, and ideas were added, challenged and removed to create an updated and new version of the ESO constitution. This will definitely help the party to be fair, honest and just.
The new constitution can be found here
The PP's Summary
"It was a significant week for ESO, we finally had a candidate for CP, unfortunately we came close and lost, and as a result we have a few ESO members in the cabinet with Roz, ApronChef and Ron, which shows how far ESO is going” - Lily Summers
Battle Results
The eUK has had a busy week sadly battles didn't go 100% our way and the country was wiped again, despite the efforts of our allies and the proud and hardworking people of the eUK. The eUK had been on the front foot after victories in London and in other regions in the eUK, we had then ventured into France and controlled Paris for a couple of days, sadly we had to then back-pedal due to a strong counter-attack and while we may now be back on square one we can still fight back. The great victory yesterday in Y&H showed how well we can perform if we work together. The eUK also helped out its allies a lot this week with battles being fought for Spain, Poland, Serbia and Macedonia campaigns are going well and ONE is on the front foot.
Battle Orders
The eUK needs to fight back so for this to happen we need to win our RW's. Wait for the daily orders before starting a RW though. We can't have too many on the go at any one time. Keep our eyes peeled on the forums and the actions of our MU. Get involved in the RW's this week and if you’re in doubt about where to fight get in touch with the Ministry of Defence either of the forums on IRC (Rizon-#MoD). Hail ONE, Hail Britannia, Hail Victory!!!
CP Elections
The Country President Elections took place this week with TUP's Talon Karrde looking for a second term and ESO's very own Betafoxtrot was also in the running. Other candidates include
😛Steeeev of PCP, Stefan1992 of Dharma Initiative and Another War Veteran of the BEP. Here are the official results:
Talon Karrde - 256 votes - 47.76%
Betafoxtrot - 128 votes - 23.88%
Stefan1992 - 65 votes - 12.13%
Steeeev - 46 votes - 8.58%
Another War Veteran - 41 votes - 7.65%
I think if this election showed us anything it is that the smaller parties can still make a difference in the elections as if they had voted for Betafoxtrot he would have won the elections. I do understand that these parties may not have wanted to do this but it is interesting to note how important these 'small' parties can be. We will be left wondering what happened in UKPP during these elections and how their influence could have changed the results of these elections.
Now it’s time to hear from the members of ESO on this week’s news and events. We have been running two competitions in the ESO forums this week. The first is 'ESO Reacts too...' (not to be confused with the YouTube show 'Kids/Teens React too...' here we will try to find out what ESO thought of an important event during the week.
This week ESO reacts too...The CP Elections:
1. I think Beta put in a very good performance. Statistically, he needed to have official UKPP backing to make it a horse race with Talon. (He) Didn't get it (they seemed very disorganized), but did really well! I think it was good to have a contrasting viewpoint and new ideas to discuss, so all in all I think it was a productive CP campaign this month. - Roz
2. Talon definitely knows his business when it comes to PR-ing. This seems to come in handy in political issues, too. From what I've read in various papers and statements, he has good relations with numerous parties and nations going, which certainly doesn't hurt. Especially as he managed to achieve quite a bit during his last term on this basis. - Gordon Strachan
3. Hail Beta the one true CP o/ (even if the voters dis-agree) - vip b10
Our second competition is for Quote of the Week here we will be searching for what ESO members thought was the funniest, wackiest or just down right weird quote of the week and the winner of the first ever quote of the week is....
Diakun with 'jamesw when he found out they discontinued everything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3R-eMY3sqc' quote recorded by Diakun himself
Congratulations to him and too all the people who entered both competitions please stay tuned in the ESO forums to answer next week’s questions and pick your Quote of the Week.

i give this hot/10
ofc you do
\o/
Nice!
lol; Beta didn't get UKPP backing, so they must be disorganied.. righto \o/
Actually two different thoughts, which perhaps was not expressed properly as written:
1. Beta needed UKPP to match the number of voters that TUP innately has, which is a comment on statistics that I think is valid
2. UKPP seemed disorganized. First I was hearing Talon, then Stefan, then BEP, then nobody officially, so that is where that point came from
We was more then united in not backing Beta, had you run AC or Rodders then it might of been a different story and we maybe could have seen the first ever ESO CP right about now.
Nothing against Beta but his initial approach for our backing was full of fail. Had it been done differently then maybe he could have won us around.
Great work! You spelt my name wrong though 🙁
Wayne ever heard of Jamesw???
check ya history first buddy 😃
and sorry Lightning
No offense Sambo112 but be careful how you word things as many could say the same about yourself and checking history The blissful times when Jamesw was CP WayneKerr wasn't even playing this game, so it's understandable that he would not of been aware that Jamesw was CP of eUK as players can move around as well.
Thanks for all the positive feedback 😃 thanks
@Eno Live no offence to YOU but both Sambo and WayneKerr joined after JamesW was CP so they were indeed on the same level of knowledge. But Sambo worked and learned the history there for he could make that statement. Wayne could not make his! It's about time people stop speaking while uninformed!
Hail ESO!
Hail eUK!
Have to agree with Wayne and Lauren. UKPP was more than united in not backing Beta.
And, i guess, we got even more certain in that after the reid of ESO spammers on our channel before the elections.
who is this jamesw i hear so much about?
JamesW was a founder of ESO.
He had 2 terms as CP whilst in the party although this was achieved with TUP backing his ticket (and therefore shows on eRep as him being a TUP CP).
What Sambo probably meant to point out was that Betafoxtrot could of been the first CP of the UK to achieve the position without TUP or UKRP backing.
Why are ESO and UKPP hating? We should be working together..
^
We're not hating on ESO. You are being unrealistic or misinformed if you think that we'd back another candidate in the CP race just 'cos they're not TUP'.
Betafox coming from UKRP (with many choice comments noted against UKPP) with an anti-national army agenda and sending GTorge as his herald...............that's just not sane!
Evening. It would be nice is you guys emphasised the point that nobody should be starting resistance wars against Ireland, as per the agreement between our two countries. This saves time and energy for everyone. Can I emphasise again that eUK deserves to be on the map and I wish you success in this endeavour.
We as a party cannot stop RW starting. in fact as a country we can not but we can however make sure you guys win them.
Another nice one!
UKPP was disorganied because they didn't even put a candidate forward for the CP elections, not a candidate of their own or a candidate for another party, and as a result is seeing a split with 10+ candidates for PP.
