Hmmm.
Not great maths, despite any accountancy skills.
And no mention of Belgium. /me sad 😞

its the right of the eIrish to start a RW whenever they want

"its the right of the eIrish to start a RW whenever they want"

And it's my right to tank against an RW if it puts the overall defence of the country at risk. It is also the right of the Govt to issue orders to the army to oppose retardation.

Being a free country we can all do what we want.
Daghda isn't suggesting it'd be a good idea, he just doesn't take kindly to being told what to do....

@Tibulus

No-one telling anyone what to do. The CP is doing the citizenry a service by letting them know that they will more than likely be wasting 1000 IEP if they support RWs without asking the Govt what the priorities are.

"It is also the right of the Govt to issue orders to the army to oppose retardation."
It can issue any orders it likes to the Irish Army. Everyone else has free will IB. Sometimes the Govt excels in retardation, rather than opposes it.
"more than likely" - well thats a numbers game, I guess. And its also anyones guess.
I'm having a major deja-vu here. If the govt could ever bother its arse to inform people what it was planning to actually do on a strategic basis, then maybe people could bother there arses to listen. So far, that aint happenin.

Back in the good ol days when Seanan used to publish everything he did, said and sniffed - still didn't inform citizens of a strategic plan before execution, only after and in detail.

Need a better system for keeping all militia leaders in the know-how, which is something Patrick is beating me to do. Like a boss.

I'm not suggesting that we publish an obvious battleplan for enemies to read, didnt think I'd have to spell that out to hardened soldiers!
MU co-ord sucks, I think all of them would appreciate any efforts you can make to improve that. This does not take into account others that would/should/could fight appropriately for Ireland but are resident elsewhere or not in a unit. Attention to this, and how it is handled may bring the desired results. Opaque remarks won't.

Unfortunately the obvious battleplan is the same as the non-obvious to the quick thinker - could deduce a plan by vague explanations. Think its better that MU leaders set out coordinated orders, and take questions from the populace afterwards - so need to overcome a sucky MU coordination system. Which is something I'm sorting out under Patrick's guide, thankfully got more volunteers to help out this term - opposed to just myself.

Though no idea how to coordinate two clickers... other than the one which popped into my head just then. Involves giving me and those around me lot of money, you in?

IA and Libertad are the 2 main MUs. IRA isn't strictly an MU so that only leaves LA(I used to hang there but I assume Pat is co-ordinating with them) I am in both IA and Libertad channels regularly. I have informed MU leaders of what's goin on quite a bit, on IRC. Sometimes they do as requested and sometimes they don't, sometimes they are busy elsewhere etc. You are right that people here just wanna do whatever they want whether that helps an overall plan or not. Ever think that's a reason why UK have been repeatedly taking our regions for months now? Govt shouldn't have to detail reasons for every single manoeuvre publicly before we even do it, otherwise we wouldn't have the damn time to win the fight in the first place.

Pat is being ridiculed here FOR communicating to you a basic idea of the plan.

Like in any country that hopes to have success, when in doubt just follow the published orders, or PM someone in Govt and ask what's goin on.

Or don't, whatever floats your boat.

CoTD is for 2 clickers, not much more any Government can do to channel 2 click damage.

"IA and Libertad are the 2 main MUs"

Actually it's Libertad and the IA. Libertad defending Ireland but not automatically following MoD orders.

http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/libertad-will-rock-your-face-off-1861478/1/20

And hate to say it, but Irishbhoy is right. Though the government cannot force anyone to follow orders, it is rather reasonable to tell the country that a certain RW is crossing government strategy and thus unwelcome. Thought it might not be an investment lost, as it's quite clear the eUK would be happy to screw up Irish-Canadian plans by supporting such an RW. Still, it is clearly something anyone loyal to eIreland as such should try to avoid.

IBhoy, i totally get your point here.I wrote to Seanan already, that Libertad is working with pulse, where everyone gets his BOs from, as soon he/she logs in and is looking in the right direction of the screen o_O.
I know that Libertads HQ is in direct contact with EDEN HQ for coordination.So as long everyone in our Unit follow these orders everything should be fine with EDEN/irish priorities and interests.
But as you mentioned, it won't stop 2 clickers or anyone else all over the eWorld who has 1000 IEP to start a RW.

"Actually it's Libertad and the IA"

While Libertad are a massive part of our defensive capabilities it is wrong to suggest that they are top. That article you linked is the first time they have been top for a long time(I'm guessing Tibulus' tanking the other day helped put them that high and it's not typical of Libertads daily score) And that list is number of kills also, not actual damage output. IRA is in fact just another part of the IA, the units orders are always identical to that of the IA, so basically just add both of those together.

@Daghda
That's good, however sometimes Eden priorities are not the same as ours. For example, sometimes we need Irish people to fight for a Terra country or at least have it as a second prio. There are plenty of times when our prios will not be indentical to that of Eden.

On top of that, Libertad don't strictly follow anyones orders in my experience. Nothing wrong with that and it is their right, but the Irish Government cannot take it as a given that they can count on Libertads damage when they want to undertake certain objectives while they can count on that of the IA and IRA.

btw I am a huge fan of Libertad and appreciate what they put into defending Ireland. It's just that sometimes Irish(not necessarily Eden's) interests actually go beyond defending Ireland itself and strategies are often a lot more complex than "pick an Irish battle and fight for Ireland" or "fight where Eden is fighting"

Basically there is still a need for the MU leaders, including Libertad, to know about Irish priorities and reasons behind those. A centralised private channel for MU leaders would work fine imo. The MUs would still be free to do whatever they wanted but could not deny that they have been informed. Would also make things easier for the person explaining the orders. At times I have found myself in the channel of 5-6 MU's, half of them not even Irish, explaining things and directing influence.

A centralised channel would make life easier for everyone, so long as MU leaders use it that is.

^ IB with the best background in addressing that issue.

implying eIreland ever had multiple (realistic) targets at the same time to 'direct damage' onto is rather funny though.

Had a few recently, or least had to change focus.

"On top of that, Libertad don't strictly follow anyones orders in my experience. Nothing wrong with that and it is their right, but the Irish Government cannot take it as a given that they can count on Libertads damage when they want to undertake certain objectives while they can count on that of the IA and IRA."

Exactly, how i said before, all three Libertad Units get their BO's directly from the Libertad HQ via pulse.There are days where LIB BOs change 2-4 times a day.And because LIB IRE is a part of Libertad, we don't question them, like the IA/IRA should not question the BOs which are coming from the irish DoD.

You're right that strategic operations should not be published in any kind of article but for example basic strategy , like a canadian or american "defence wall", what is well known to our enemies and visible on the world map for everyone, should be explained to new players by the DoD.That was actually my point.

"implying eIreland ever had multiple (realistic) targets at the same time to 'direct damage' onto is rather funny though"

I never used the word targets but nice try in twisting my words der. It's p much all you are good at in this game. Our allies have often had battles that directly or indirectly affected Irish interests. There are often times when orders for domestic Irish battles need to be unconventional. Not like you'd know, you came to Ireland for a little while, mouthed off a lot without actually doing much, thought you were the only one entitled to an opinion and f*cked off when you realised you weren't gonna get your own way. I have often directed millions and millions of damage in battles and like I said it is not solely "e-Irish" damage either. Ofc damage needs to be directed you complete idiot. It's something you have no experience in anyway, but that never stopped you from being a know-it-all before so not surprised, but it would be a nice change if you stuck to talking about things you have the slightest clue about.

Why you still trolling Irish articles anyway after you claimed you no longer care? If you didn't care you wouldn't be here acting like a child. You butthurt? So butthurt that you feel like fighting for UK against Ireland? Oh wait, you were already butthurt enough to do that a few days ago.

One thing is for sure, you are certainly butthurt enough to comment here again.

I like how it was ignored that the President ASKED, not ordered. I repeat - NOT ORDERED... 'I am asking everyone who will listen'.
*sigh*

"Not like you'd know, you came to Ireland for a little while, mouthed off a lot without actually doing much"

Actually you still use the tax system I've crafted. The fact that IA leadership couldn't get a grip on the very basics of economy related game mechanics despite EA even demonstrating my point in a test run company isn't really my fault. Were you less busy trolling, slandering and insulting your opposition, looting the treasury, and collaborating with British PTO attacks, and took more time understanding how the game works instead, you could have learnt more indeed.

"thought you were the only one entitled to an opinion"

Lolled so hard, 90% of your 'great work' is trying to troll to death anyone voicing an opinion different from yours. (10% being vacuous self-appraisal).

"I have often directed millions and millions of damage in battles and like I said it is not solely "e-Irish" damage either."

Like that? "Pleeeeease, Romper, pleeeease tank here against Alfagrem."

"you complete idiot"

Let's give this issue a rest by stating we are indeed not in the same intellectual weight class.

"Why you still trolling Irish articles anyway after you claimed you no longer care?"

Should I really point at your (and your mates') butthurt trolling in the Irish media about me long after I'd left?

"You butthurt? So butthurt that you feel like fighting for UK against Ireland?"

Ever heard of the Mercenary Medal? I felt like fighting for a further 46 countries so far. Clearly out of butthurt, you clown.

tl;dr: SHM is butthurt

Get in there,

Hail Ireland
Hail Eden

tl;dr in your case should be: too long, can't read.

"Retards, we all know one"
oh oh oh the irony...

Ok, so now I caught up and finally read all the ranting.
Only two things to say/clarify from my standpoint:
1) Co-ord between eIrish based units is a good thing, and can only get better than it has been, so far, if there is the will to do that. Seems there is now, so let's try.
2) No amount of ordering, suggesting, pleading or advising will prevent RWs from happening since the rules changed. RW medals are sought by randoms everywhere, and cannot be controlled by the state, no matter how noble the idea may be. (As is now apparent by the RW in Mayo.) We already addressed this ad nauseam when the new RW rules came in. It's a bleedin free-for-all these days, so promising allies it aint gonna happen is futile.

Yes SHM you are indeed correct. I have played a text based broswer game for almost 2 years even though I cannot read. eejit lol

Oh, you two. Get a room.

yeah, listen to Yddub. The crackling e-sexual tension between ye is causing power outages in Ballygobackwards...

Sorry Grainne you lost me at "listen to Yddub"

You have lost all credibility now.

Btw if it looks as if there are power outages in Ballygobackwards it's prolly cos the Kerrymen are having trouble changing the lightbulb as usual.

"I have played a text based broswer game for almost 2 years even though I cannot read."

Seems so. At least, you're apparently struggling with comprehension difficulties.

Dude, let it go, you just look ridiculous now.

about looking ridiculous:

"you came to Ireland for a little while, mouthed off a lot without actually doing much"
- Irishbhoy, Day 1393

"why don't you continue what seems like good work you are doing in the MoF"
- Irishbhoy, Day 1296

What happened inbetween? Irishbhoy getting hysterical about me pointing my fingers at the ICA clique stealing, being bribed, and being incompetent. Now sing your song about being butthurt.
