Living in eAustralia just hurts.

People of eAustralia this fighting needs to stop! No i don't mean the war with Brazil. I mean the fighting between the two groups that are driving my friends out of this country and even out of this game!
I will not name names, you guys know who you are. My friends sit on both side of the fence and it just hurts me when I see them fight.
Today one of my best friends which I do consider him as the greatest guy I have ever met, even if it is over the internet. Has left Erepublik for good. More info here: http://community.auserepublik.com/index.php?topic=5187.0
This news pretty much brought me to tears, I care for my friends and when one gets hurt this bad it makes me hurt.
I will not put up with this any longer, everyone should stop acting like children and remember the good old times! WHEN WE WORKED TOGETHER!
Goodbye ranger, I will miss you very much :'(

I have an idea, STOP BEING GIRLS. I am new to this game just signed up yesterday and all i see is these news stories with people crying about fights and stuff. 1. it's a game 2. You shouldn't take it so seriously.
And how about explaining what your actually talking about, what fighting? whats going on? new members will have no idea what your talking about.
Discrate1 there is no need to explain, you don't want to be involved in the crap.
new members will have no idea what your talking about. <--- go to the forum. It's worse there than it is here....
what good times? When? When was there ever a time without this bitchiness, childishness?
So true one of the best articles ever.
People in positions of responsibility and power, pursuing their personal vendettas. It's a gross betrayal of the citizens.

now why didn't I think of saying that. Well worded sir and sadly so very true....
Yeah.
Totally agreed Scoty. Totally agreed.

One of the greatest terms was actually when Ranger was Prime Minister, I'm not sure if you were around then, maybe away?
A very peaceful time I must say.
I agree man. Hell, even the days with Aussie_Warlord and Icey were better then this. At least back then it was 2 asswits versus the population 😛 now it's good blokes versus good blokes.
Exactly Ollie your on the money all the way!!
sweet jesus, more participation is needed in eAU politics. Even if its the smallest amount, something to counteract the current movement.
dosent paint a very nice picture for the new citizens to see all the negative articles i havent even made a friend yet and i'm almost sick of the bitching.
i joined eAUS coz i'm a PROUD aussie.
i want to live and grow in eAUS i want to make a difference, but if the GIRLY CRAP dosent stop i will just leave b4 i have invested 2 much time in the game.. and i dont mean to another country.
seen alot of good alliances/tribes/guilds crumble over the years (i'm sure most of u have) and it ruins the game for all involved, but i honestly think the worst part is the whingeing it is utterly demoralizing and frustrating.
I realy like the look of this game and am quite excited by the long term potential, i HOPE this is just an oportunity for eAUS to sort some issues out and come out stronger for it in the long term.... however that is my glass half full self talking.
MY SHOUT MUGS OF CEMENT ALL ROUND.......HARDEN THE F>UP eAUSTRALIA
my 2 cents sorry if this noob ruffled any feathers no actually not sorry.....U just need a second mug is all.
Personally I think it's good that a newbie like yourself is speaking up about things like this. Regardless of "who started the fight" in the en😛 all we're seeing is bickering from our best. In the end, all of eAustralia suffers and no one gains anything.
Wtf! is with the n00bs posting on my article calling me a girl :/
Learn shit before you mud-sling me..
no mud intended for u stew
i ment in general(and more specifcaly those with the power) its getting WAY to much media... its all i've read since being here the media seems to be adding fuel to the fire(like in RL)
stew i was sadened by your loss, i too have lost many O/L friends in the same fashion(other games obviously)and it is soul destroying.
in my opinion(which means squat 2 u all coz i'm a noob) its the fact that its always NEGATIVE reporting.... does knowone have a POSITVE article about the current issues and how this could be the catylist nessasary to bring about POSSITIVE long term change/political reform or build stronger alliances??
PEACE between eAUSSIES..........WAR for eBRAZIL
From a classic song I was reminded of when I read the title:
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this eLife, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this eLife, well hang on
'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand
Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
You are not alone
Thank you Micka, I understand now mate.
unlucky
sounds a bit like Australia's real political system... scary I know.
Voted way up.
Australia is falling victim to a world of drama that is largely unnecessary.
If the other world powers sat around doing this, they'd fall apart completely. If we ever want to make Australia a world power, we have to show that we're above petty infighting.
My two cents worth.
One person from each side + one moderator in a locked IRC channel with rules of...
1. No Swearing or derogatory remarks towards each other or anyone else.
2. No Posting of logs after the meeting (Which means it all stays private).
3. Once the meeting is done, IT IS FINAL AND IT ALL STOPS.
4. No discussing the meeting with ANYONE after it is finished.
5. No butting in when one of the parties is talking. The moderator will state when either one can have their say.
This is to ensure that only the two people can discuss in a mature way to get through all the differences and start to see the other person’s point of view without getting heated.
Any other ideas would be welcomed if this is not feasible but we have to move on from this and come out with a win win situation.
Here Here Scoty, hit the nail on the head mate.
ranger bob left? OMG!
oh my god. Not Ranger....wow I'm devestated...he was always nice to me...
I haven't noticed any fighting I must say. Not since the CrowdedHouse thing stopped cuz of the war.
sigh 🙁
It hurts seeing Australia like this. Why the hell can't some people stop being dickheads and stuffing eAustralia up. If you cant be non-biased get the hell out of power and stay out until you can work with people you dislike and not have fights every day. Guess what. We are all fighting for one thing. eAustralia. Put your guns away and start fighting Brazil and eIndo.
Seriously, if you can't not personally attack people during the day when you are in congress or senate, I will start calling on some impeachments.
Why you think you barely see me on the forums any more?
Id love to think that something and/or someone like ranger and what he brought to the game, not just leaving eAus, but quitting outright, would stop the petty infighting but unfortunately I dont see it happenng. Best of luck ranger, maybe we'll see you in the eWorld again sometime soon
