Presidents Report Day 1021, A Sorry Day for Ireland.
Nogin The Nog Limited
Fellow Citizens, today should have been a memorial day for you and me, the start of a new term and fresh hope for Ireland, but things changed dramatically this evening, and Ireland now has a long uphill struggle ahead of it.
As is normal in CP elections the Outgoing administration provides the new Counttry President with a list of Goverment Orgs, state Companys and the Passwords to them, normally by a link to a google document or an email.
The incoming Vice president then changes the Org passwords & email addresses to protect them from malicious use from previous people with access.
however the transfer was not completed today, by the previous administration, and this eve the Previous Vice president:
Niall H
http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/1596310
took Control of our national bank:
http://economy.erepublik.com/en/accounts/9628
and changed the password & email address, so no one else could gain access it, despite requests from the current VP Moomoohead to return it, he did not, shouting on the banc's shoutbox that:
Banc Ceannais the being held by the Irish DefencE Forces Command.
Donations will be start every 10 hours to Padraig Pearse if talks fail
eventually after much chat on the irc he supplied Moomoohead with passwords for the state assets/banc that proved to be worthless.
Niall H also published the following article i the DoD newspaper:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/department-of-defence-95981/1
Things then took a more serious turn when:
Irish state Industries and the Dept of Resources orgs were subject to a brutal and ruthless attack.
All state companies held in these orgs were sold/melted down and the gold transferred to Banc Ceannais, and as i write this gold, has been transferred out of it via the money market as it is not showing on the banc's donations list.
I have spoken to snake about the Mods restoring the companies, and his view is that the Orgs were not hacked as Niall H has the login/password details as VP, and as such we will not get them restored and have effectively lost any RM in them, any cash not transferred, any finished products and scrapped them for half the money it took to make them, with no hope of recovering any of the loss.
Myself, Moomoohead, Kolshire, Dubh and several other players spent over seven hours trying to get to the bottom of this fiasco, and tried to recover the remaining state assets unsuccessfully with the email password recovery function.
This was a well planned out attack on us by Niall H, and not the 'Just for Fun' he said it was initially promising to return them shortly.
Snake has contacted a G-Mod to try and recover control of Banc Ceannais, and is currently checking to see if he can access any of the State Orgs/companys.
The only glimmer of good news is that Ian Arbuckle the IDF Chief of staff, managed to change the Department of defence Org password and its company's are safe.
Niall and those who helped him in this crime will be brought to justice, the loss of these assets to ireland is an almighty blow, but we shall prevail.
as more information comes to light i will inform you all here.
I will publish my list of Ministers tomorrow and apologise for the delay, but trying to recover the states assets was more important

Wow. Just wow...
Niall is a workin class hero and will be remembered for ever
What a joke, a nation of thieves and idiots in the eyes of the world.
Shit needs to change.
Woop dee fuckin doo
Also I lold at this happening twice in a row
ICA passwords were changed without any concent by me or any other ICA soldier ... So this might be linked ? Whatever it was, it's just f*#king showing how unprepared some people are getting to high ranks within eirish politics -.- . I'm sorry I couldn't secure the money this time ...
That is brutal. When is cabinet going to realize that they serve eIreland, not their own ego? This was almost the second case today.
Just brutal.
The cabinets have been serving their own egos for months, unlikely to change.
Rebel Reborn I am sick and tied of you. You really think all this and IBhoy are heroes for these crimes? In fact, it was because we didn't punish IBhoy and in some cases praised him that we now face people who think it is ok to commit these crimes as long as they pass it off as "good for the country."
Yes, yes I do
Happy post Birthday JvB!
and you wonder why the british mock you constantly
yeah coz the british have some magic for preventing someone changing passwords. Perhaps a little fairy that sits on a players shoulder or some self replicating nanobots that can be transferred thru the internetz into a players brain to control what they do.
Damnit. Niall even warned me ahead of time that it was only a joke, assured me that he would not take possession of anything and was only releasing a lulz article.
I'm so tired of the "Rage-Quit-Ruin-it-for-everyone" attitude
TBH, the way people react and pick up the pitchforks, its a wonder we get anything done around here...
Not good. Not good at all. You can't really blame all cabinet Ministers. It is the ones who do this type of thing that we talk about but most do their jobs. I'm with Donovan. What is with taking down the country when you leave? I just don't get it.
TBH Snake, it isn't a pitchfork I want to pick up. Think bigger, more blood and gore and much much more pain.
I will not stand for this. I shall do everything in my power as a TD to help
Also, Niall should be banned from IRC forever, if he isn't already.

Our nation has got to be the most corrupted in the world.
Disgraceful..
This should lead to a change request by the government, suggesting safer methods for running state companies.
Perhaps this is something other countries and organisations will be interested in also, not only eIrland and ICA.
Make this into a rally where you invite the other countries also...
just a humble idea...
e-Kane
A humble idea with merit..
I have been here long enough to see this thing happening to eIreland every second month.
I stopped thinking of why eIrish people elect or give power to idiots with such frequency. We only need a way to stop people from doing this.
Isn't closing Banc Cennais and state Orgs a possibility?
How much have we lost in the last year through robbery and treason?
How much did we risk to lose if it wasn't for some "last resort" intervention?
Is it all worth it?
Quite a crappy turn of events, but I guess we have to come to terms with it and move on - just like in Pattons term when over 1000 gold was lost from the Banc.
On a brighter note, e-kane's avatar made me grin!
Niall H, another small person. I'm truly sorry for him and for all the time he lost in this game. And he wasn't the first, so let's just forget them and rebuild what we can, it's just a game anyway.
I agree with Rollo, probably we should just close the bank and the state orgs. We could loose some money if we loose regions but we would loose it anyway to these idiots. 🙂
Not a good start for you Nogin ,. but then again ur not a real Irish President till this happens and then the impeachment a week to 10 days later
Hope it gets better for you 🙂
Niall=ragequitnoquitprick
Fell it's just another stark reminder that, if you put a 14/15 year old in this position and he's got a history of being p much a troll, then this is what you can expect.
This is p different the Ibhoy situation though, Niall is doing this for his own amusement...
I want uaithne's supplier of large blood-spilling weapon's phone number... >_>
"Not a good start for you Nogin ,. but then again ur not a real Irish President till this happens and then the impeachment a week to 10 days later"
Wise words. I think every person planning on running for president should write one of these type articles and save it to their hard disk. All they have to do is fill in the names when some imbecile decides to hijack the state finances.
maybe we could ask real-life address/phone to the ones who want to manage public finances. 🙂
I think, we should stop the function of VP and just let the ministers take his rol over
So if one of those minsters decides to be a noob, then we only lose 1 part and not the whole thing
Also having such an amount of money in the Banc is not necceassairy
We should calculate how much is needed every month to keep the companies up and running and donate that amount to the Banc wich then supplies companies with it
When there is a threat of PTO we donate the money to a different org then the Banc, to someone we truly believe wont hold it and play a noob
Screw the people with the "im a noob and leaving the game or country so i bully those people before im gonna cry in my mothers arms because i cant play the game"
The motive behind it is Niall being bitter about not being asked to stay on as MoD or being offered a consultation Ministry despite being the IRC the past two weeks saying that after the term ended he'd be leaving the game for a while.
He'll claim that he's doing this to "rattle" us and that he doesn't really care about eRepublik, when in reality he care's big time and he obviously ticked off.
Regards of what he does with the Banc when he does quit the game and starts going through withdrawals he'll regret this.
We're too tolerant of "loveable rogues" in this country.
He might just bugger off the phillipines again...
They can keep him.
@James Keiller
Couldn't agree more. I didn't forget those approving what IbHoy did and thanking him for getting things excited.
Also Niall should consider himself lucky as he is not geographically accessible for me.
@Glenn Wauters: A smart a man as you ever were Glenn. I'm fully behind the idea of letting Ministers control each individual password. Letting one person control information for literally -every- asset in our country is foolish.
Sad to hear this.
It doesn't matter if it's for the republican cause or not. This is thievery, or hostage taking, or blackmail, or even all three. Exile him.
I say he should be executed by the ICA
Ireland sure know how to throw me a great birthday party. I drank guinness all day, too!
Thanks guys!
Niall is just a fool, pure and simple!
He always was a follower, copycat of others he looked up to ... little puff
eIreland needs to hit the 'reset' button and start over. Build up better and stronger with a solid foundation everyone can see.
I'm new here, but this angers me greatly. This is an injustice and, regardless of how you feel, you should not ruin the game for everyone else. But from what I've seen Ireland has some great folks and I think we can recover and become stronger.
OH GOD NO NOT PADRAIG
We need a new system. This continues to happen and it's disgusting.
What a dirty scumbag Niall H is. Can his account be deleted?
Could you please explain to me what "Mods" and "G-Mod" mean?
