Presidential Elections
Sean MacDiarmata
Citizens of Ireland,
As most of you know, I am seeking a second term as president of our great country. Today I would like a few minutes of your time to speak to you about my eRepublik experience and my desire to lead Ireland again, into a second successful month and will talk briefly about my selections for next term cabinet, should you elect me for a second term.
I feel two of my main attributes is my insight when it comes to the Military and the Foreign Affairs parts of the game. I have been working with the Irish Army for over a year since I started in the IDF. I have always been a keen member of the Irish Army scene, when I was still low ranked and relatively inexperienced, I was drafted in as a Supply Staff by caladbolg to help in the IDF. From the start of my career in eRepublik, I have served Ireland with nothing but determination and an iron will to build it into a powerful nation. The knowledge gained working as a supply officer has given me the experience needed to run a successful army additionally while fighting for our allies, I have built up a vast array of contacts abroad. The benefit of both was shown last month.
Another benefit of having great foreign relations was seen through Ireland gaining 4 MPP's at half price including one from Poland which would never normally be available at that price.
I have been serving the EDEN alliance for over 8 months, since my first term as MoD as well as serving in the Allied Forces, I have worked along side such elite commanders as Romper, Donmarci and Atea. Other leaders and soldiers I have worked with are Polish CP Avie, long term MoD of Poland StrozeR, US tank Colin Lantrip, Greek tank exohoritis, Military Commander of EDEN and a good Bro Diuras. Some other great people I have good contacts with our Mobster1930 the Bosnian President, leading EDEN members Alpho and Iaswn .
Lets not forget all the soldiers in TCO or the ICA, these soldiers and leaders Ireland has always been able to rely on
As I touched upon in my last article, we need to continue to build upon the groundwork laid during my last term. The PTO threat is still very real, after being shut out this last election, you can believe they will be using more extreme tactics this upcoming election period. Additionally, the UK threat is also an issue we cannot take lightly, it is almost guaranteed the UK will attack Ireland soon and we need to ensure a well respected, globally, and militarily adept person is in office. When the UK finally does push the button, Ireland will be more capable then ever to face any threat the UK can try throw at us.
Currently I am one of the most experienced military minds in Ireland, I have done it all...literally done it all. I have worked in not only the IDF and IA but also the ICA, The Crimson Order, CAF and The EDEN Elite Mobile Corps. All that experience has also paid dividends as well.
I have learned to play eRep under some of the most experienced players of the game and I have always been keen to learn and this was shown from when I was a supply officer of the IDF at rank 7 I believe it was.
The Ministers who will help me in the next month, should you allow me the honor of another term, are as follows,
Vice President - Orangejuicemmm
Ministers of Defence - Reactionist & James Ferrin
Chief of Staff - Bockson
Ministers of Foreign Affairs - IrishBhoy196
Minister of Finance - Sweet Drinker
Ministers of Community - S1v3r K1d & D-Glennon
Minister of State - TBA
Minister of New Citizens - Peter Lyons, Deputy - Patrick O'Leary
Ministers of Propaganda - Joe Hitman & Pete Sake
Again this month, as I did last month, I look to bring in a mix of experience and new players, with this combination we can have new players learning from experienced players so they gain valuable experience to hold minister positions in the future as well as bring fresh insight to Ireland political scene.
Regards,
Marcus Suridius
President of Ireland,
EDEN Elite Military Corp
3rd Top Ranked Irish Player

MARCUS FOR PRESIDENT !
Go Marcus o7
MARCUS FOR PRESIDENT ! x2
good luck Marcus!!
Good luck! 🙂
"Vice President - TBA"
This is because I said 'LOUTH?! ffs!' isn't it 😛
Lol Einie, no its because you abuse your TCO powers 😛
Translating this manifesto:
"I HAS MONEY.
I HAS MONEY AND I'M NOT AFRAID OF USING IT.
I HAS FRIENDS BECAUSE I HAS MONEY.
I HAS MONEY SINCE MY eBIRTH.
Vote for me !"
Don't get me wrong, having money is great. I admit I'm jealous, I wish I was rich like that.
I just don't see it with such importance in a manifesto as you place it...
@Marcus - Do not 😛 I gave you proper ops back and everything. Plus I didn't steal the treasury even once 😃
o7
Good luck Marcus
Marcus for president ! x2 x2
Best man for the job, and just look at Ireland's last month if you need proof
o7
As a member of the Irish Citizen's Army, I support and endorse this candidate 😃
When did Pasch get so bitter?
IBhoy, prolly since he knows Marcus is the better candidate. He won't have a cabinet position if Marcus wins 😮
"Plus I didn't steal the treasury even once"
Lol you say it as if you where meant to 😛
@Marcus - I p much thought that was what our job was. Troll, tank, thieve. It's sure what seems to go on around the place.
o7 Good Luck!
Marcus D-Glennon is the DMoC
I'm not bitter, I'm a sweetheart 🙂
I couldn't care less about me being in the cabinet ... In fact Im not even the best person to be in a cabinet atm as Im very busy RL.
And I never said marcus is a bad candidate, hes a good one.
FFS, he'll buy the game for us !!! Next steps would be
- him buying the TCO out of eCanada so eIreland can play with it
- him buying eIreland more MPPs than eSerbia and eCroatia have added together
- him distributing gold openly for his friends.
see ? hes not a bad candidate at all.
Paschoall,
What's up friend, you do seem a bit bitter as well as, you admit, jealous. Have you considered the outcome of last month's elections, free of PTO members and the block of the UK attack? I do believe it was with the help of Marcus' experience and contacts that you are currently sitting in an Irish owned territory and they decisions being made and the citizenship requests being granted are all being done by Irishmen and women, not British. Your attach is obviously a personal one and not a political one. Class stuff Pasch
Yes S1lv3r I know you where asking about that, I was confirming with someone about it.
Lol Einie, no thats what use to happen that we stop.
"In fact Im not even the best person to be in a cabinet atm as Im very busy RL"
Aren't you The Minister of Foreign Affairs in Jacques Cabinet?
Vote & Good luck from Greece
Good luck Marcus
o7
I don't see Marcus mentioning money anywhere.
He is one of the most dedicated players I have had the pleasure of serving with.
I have money as well, so I suppose Pasch must therefore be sarcastic and resentful of me also?
Marcus and Jacques are both hardworking, both are excellent candidates. However Marcus has military and diplomatic contacts, along with a proven track record that Jacques does not yet posess.
This is why I would vote for Marcus, not because of his money.
Please cop yourself on Pasch, I expected better from you.
Rant over.
Vote marcus, there really couldnt be a better man for this job..
his done so much in the last term, if were talking about unity, then marcus is the man,,
good luck bud.
Yea Marcus! I know who I'm voting for!
There is no wrong choice.
If Marcus wins, I know Jacques will lend his support throughout the term.
If Jacques wins, I know Marcus will endeavor to help him during the month.
I hope supporters of either side do not see the other side as "opponents," but as colleagues. It's a time for unity, not infighting. No matter who wins, our country will be better a month from now, than it is now. I know our country is a better place now, than it was a month ago. That's all we can really ask for in a CP... to improve the country. Both of these men are capable of doing the job, and I will be happy no matter what the outcome.
Irishbhoy:
Talking about ministers and being busy real life, a month ago you quite confidently dismissed Reichenbacher's comment:
"You should understand that most of the best Presidents have not been experts in all areas, they simply know how to make the right choices in regards to staff. Dubh is imo the best MoF Ireland ever had so I think you are being a little disrespectful to Marcus with your comment."
How do you see the issue now, with Dubh disappearing mid-term after a pathetic failure in all fields of economic policy?
Marcus = Irelands best ever President. o7
SHM your line of questioning goes nowhere.
Dubh's performance this month was a disappointment. Is any1 disputing that?
Your posting comments that have nothing to do with the article mate, it's like you've stumbled out of a pub drunk and wandered in here looking for a fight!
If you want to have a debate/argument, you'll need to pick a topic at least one person opposes you on!
If your looking for a forum to discuss economic policy I suggest... using the forum😁
Or send me a pm, I'm always game!
As for a disappointing MoF posting: The obv choice for MoF is you, but you refuse to step-up. If the best in the business is unwillng to take the job, the CP is forced to settle for less...
There is no wrong choice.
If Marcus wins, I know Jacques will lend his support throughout the term.
If Jacques wins, I know Marcus will endeavor to help him during the month.
I hope supporters of either side do not see the other side as "opponents," but as colleagues. It's a time for unity, not infighting. No matter who wins, our country will be better a month from now, than it is now. I know our country is a better place now, than it was a month ago. That's all we can really ask for in a CP... to improve the country. Both of these men are capable of doing the job, and I will be happy no matter what the outcome.
^this
Isn't it like in RL? It's all about money, self obsession and getting gold for the own "clique" to build up certain accounts and getting "mates" into power positions.No one gives a toss about us minions up there.
When you look up how much gold is spent by certain people in ONE DAY, (almost the same people btw) then the reason to get into egovernment positions appears very clear.
MS and his cabinet did well the last term, no doubt and the ATO was a success.But i can't see any reason why cousteau couldn't do the job as well when he has the right budget to spend 😉
I think a few people take themself far too important.In the end it stays a game and only a very low percentage are RL presidents, generals or what so ever.....So get f****g real 😉
Good luck Marcus!
What budget Daghdha?
The treasury gave no money to any citizen.
Did the Irish Army even request any funding this month?!
If ppl want to spend gold they earn in-game or buy that is neither our business or our loss.
Ok, SD, so i got things wrong even when i got told otherwise.But anyway, i apologize ofc.
Good luck to you Marcus and your chosen staff.
Wait..WHA??
Someone has been telling you that the government has been giving soldier money to tank abroad? That couldn't be more false.
Please. Who said this to you?
The government's Army budget for the entire month of March would not supply even one tank for one battle! As for April....lol!
"SHM your line of questioning goes nowhere.
Dubh's performance this month was a disappointment. Is any1 disputing that?"
Apart from Marcus you mean? Or his army friends hailing the 'comprehensive monetary policy' and the 'best MoF eIreland ever had'?
"Your posting comments that have nothing to do with the article mate, it's like you've stumbled out of a pub drunk and wandered in here looking for a fight!"
I've started out addressing nothing else but economic issues. However, I have a growing opposition attitude indeed, seeing responses like this, or like the ones I've received for various supporters of Marcus so far. This army-govt should really get down off the high horse, quite a lot of their bombastic self-glorification being empty rhetorics only.
"If your looking for a forum to discuss economic policy I suggest... using the forum😁"
In case that escaped your attention: I've actually posted twice as much as you did on that forum. Not that it was by any means related to the issue of me - or anybody else - having the right to post here whatever - within the game rules.
Daghdha:
"I think a few people take themself far too important.In the end it stays a game and only a very low percentage are RL presidents, generals or what so ever.....So get f****g real "

"Wait..WHA??

This 😁^
I have not spent a cent of the governments money, I have never taken money from the government and I know to well who told you the lies.
Stranger it must have escaped your attention that I've been your strongest supporter on that forum!
I haven't seen anyone claim that it's been a good month for the economy. Merely that it started out well the few days Dubh was around. (hope the guy isn't lying in a hospital or something while we've been badmouthing him)
"This army-govt should really get down off the high horse, quite a lot of their bombastic self-glorification being empty rhetorics only." x2
How i said before, i might got the wrong info here or i got the whole thing wrong because i didn't understand properly, because of not being a native english speaker.
I apologized already just for the case i'm wrong, that should be enough.
However, i want to ask you, MS, one question :
Why should i vote for someone, who sets a mate (out of the military elite ofc) into place, who robbed the treasury once and is responsible for the PTO mess, we were in only a few weeks ago? And this only for the LOLZ?
Maybe i didn't get the joke out of this 😁
Best of Luck Marcus
Don't worry guys. Cousyteoaieuyd will spend just as much.
Oh jeez, Politics is such bull-crap...
I mean, the people who have been working tooth and nail trying to play this game as well as they possibly can are being put on trial over a perceived "military elite" which doesn't exist.
Some people play this game more than others, some people play politician and some people just play the game.
Far too many people playing politician, who don't actually have a clue what's going on in the country...
Very sad how you lost this election Marcus, It's politics vs. substance. Politics won, the two clicker ruled the day ;_;
John Snuggles +1

Personally I have only good impressions from Marcus, so I hope he wins! 🙂 o7
yea, both are great candidates indeed, even thou Marcus and his supporters keep thinking I'm attacking him or something like that, I still like him.
but you know how there are different tools for different jobs ?
that's how I feel about him:
-Good piece of equipment!
-No being used for the right job thou ...
"Wait..WHA??

I am SO sorry for defending eIreland with my own RL money in the past.
Good luck.
