[jw] The month to rule them all: put up or shut up
Hell The Great
For literally years now, players have been complaining about TUP, Iain Keers, Kravenn, how the UK is run by an old generation of players and nothing ever changes. Ironically, this was the original argument of TUP, Iain Keers, etc, in their fight against UKRP. Then, it was players like Dishmcds, Arthur Wellesley and roadrunner speed that stood accused. Today, their accusers stand accused.
So after all of this time, the new 'old players are ruining the UK' (who I might add, are much older than Iain Keers et al were when they originally argued this point against the aforementioned previous generation of older players), have put themselves in a position where they can rule the UK.
Congress elections next week will almost without a doubt, result in a solid majority for pro-Vendetta candidates. With control of the top two parties, it will take a herculean effort to beat their candidate in the July 5th Presidential poll.
So after all this time, those who have for so long bemoaned the previous generation, have the power to do something for the future generation. The coming month will see not just articles from Don Dapper, Big Ant, Sven and Winston. No, now they are the ruling elite. The political power within the UK, rests squarely on their shoulders.
So at long last, it will no longer be an acceptable excuse that certain members of certain parties are conspiring to stop "new" players. No longer can anyone other than Vendetta claim to have power in the UK. So the month will ultimately show what the 'alternative' is.
The fact that policies from Vendetta so far have been few, far between and abhorrently short of 'how', until now didn't really matter.
The fact that members of Vendetta that would never question their collegeagues, until now was just an accepted part of politics.
The fact that the majority of the decisions any President or Government will make comes not from anything he or she may want or hope for, but as a reaction to changes in the game, movements within international politics or pressure from the rise/fall of allies power, has up until now been all but ignored.
So BigAnt, Dapper, etc, this month is your month. You can rule as I think you will, and just think about your own interests. You can change or challenge that which empowers other parts of our community, at your expense. You can continue as you have until now.
But the difference is, now, you have the power you have craved and done literally anything and everything for. There is nothing else that the UK has left. There are no further positions that you cannot attain. So if after this month where you will undoubtedly have a strong congress majority, and unless you choose to run a Serbian, most likely control the Presidency too, there are still problems in the UK.
Not only will I, but every single one of the UK population will know that you are not the solution. But rather, you are doing to TUP, what TUP did to UKRP, what UKRP did to PCP, what PCP did to whoever.
For the avoidance of doubt, unless the UK's problems are fixed, it's quite clear, that Vendetta is nothing more than 'TUP' - the only difference being who leads and controls.

If you want the debate on if I changed anything, then sure go ahead, let's go there. The promises I made, I strived to deliver. What I delivered, at the time I was proud of, and looking back even more so. I am just 1 person, you are a group, so surely you can do so much more?
"The fact that members of Vendetta that would never question their collegeagues, until now was just an accepted part of politics."
Hello.
Is that supposed to be some sort of answer...
Yeah I was questioning as fuck last month.
Commies are coming
yes all very true - i always wondered why dish seemed to disappear after several terms as CP - http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/5100
maybe its time for dish to come back?
It'll be funny because there is no real opposition policies and just a lot of shouting, the Argentinian attack should also be viewed with Interest because Dapper and co do not oppose the Poles so who is there to liberate you?
Wheres my popcorn?
*Oppose the Poles that should read as and not ''do not oppose the Poles...''
Be funny, we'll have Argentina plus allies fighting against us, which include Serbia. Vendetta will be fighting against the people they want to be allied with to prevent a wipe in time for congress so they can import more Serbians xD
Policies? http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Vendetta
The header at the top was the most accurate bit of info on that entire page - "Some pages are outdated so don't believe everything you see here."
I am uniting the parties under the Spamican banner.
Together, we can elect a CP. Together, Moriarty4CP is possible.
It's always been my dream...
Its more likely than you might think.
I'd term it a fantasy
Your party is post-vendetta, ... enough said.
What? I don't understand? Spamicans have been around for years.
Horace.
a professor cannot into CP!
we're not there yet.
give us a chance, and we'll prove you wrong.
V
Please prove us wrong, you don't even understand how badly I want your party to prove me wrong, please BigAnt, Winston, and even Dapper. Prove us wrong.
UKRP is the CP until the 5th thats 2 weeks we have no power
I know that, I'm speaking to the point of this article, that the congressmen and the CP that you're likely to get elected are hopefully more constructive than destructive. Also, would one of you kindly talk some sense into BA about his plan to abolish the Monarchy. Even if he outlaws it the community won't recognize his declaration so it would just be a waste of energy that could be better placed.
abolish the Monarchy just deal with it if it happens 🙂, I heard Poland want a King
My point is you guys can't abolish the monarchy, it's a roleplayesque part of the community, it's just for fun. You guys can say it's abolished all you want, we'll just ignore you.
P.S. I am never going to be king. Not of here, and definitely not of Poland.
Technically they can if they remove the Government from the forums as I did in Aus, it leaves the forums dead and buried and they'll close without it. So then you'll have no role playing valid from the forums....oh and I like Woldy but just saying y'all.
Why am I never mentioned?
I personally don't even use the forums, and I still recognize Woldy as king. My point overall is that it's stupid and pointless for them to try and get rid of it. It's a harmless facet of our community.
I'm dissapointed at the lack of gloating article from Vendetta.
We already knew that TUP and V are essentially the same party, thanks for pointing that out jamesw...
Can't even moralfag punctually nowadays.
herf'd
Didn't expect to find an All Time Low album cover here.
Should also point out that just 'cos BA is now in charge of TUP doesn't mean we don't have the same CP, cabinet and congress as we did a few days ago.
Certainly is a step towards a changeover but I don't think we can say that "They control eUK now"
needs moar alfa
This article is just a load of rubbish , UKRP member is CP until the 5th that's 2 weeks all congress are the same, all them people had no new power and this article is like trolling them, why are putting out such crud and misinformation?
This is barely coherent.
blah blah blah
Jamesw talks, I Ignore...
You do and have done very little for UK this year.
But JamesW, How is it that we are TUP? You haven't really laid down any solid facts here, other than we are taking power away from a group that is bringing the UK down. We are simply striving to perform for our country, while showing them there is a better way. TUP is unable to just give up power even when they know they are wrong. If we can't prove our worth, then we will gladly lay down our power and find a better solution. That being said, we don;t have this month, we have a way longer time. V
In light of what actually happened when V won and BigAnt became CP, this looks very foolish, don't you think?
As does BigAnt's previous comment ^
JamesW's article looks bang on now. V came, won, f*cked everything up, nicked all the moneys, and then collapsed.
