Quick advice when you lack a Country
Mr Woldy
Oi oi!
Oy vey, we have been wiped again. That BLOWS, I think we can all agree. However, it seems to me that certain people's have taken this opportunity for political gain, so, speaking as someone who has been around a while, won some wars, and witnessed wipes in the past, I felt the need to offer some quick advice:
Firstly, consider the circumstances. Why are we wiped? This week, we have not been wiped because our military is crap, because our leadership failed us or because we have a naff President. Let it be clear that whomever was CP this month would have met the exact same fate. This month, the eUK, YOUR COUNTRY, has rolled a tough dice. And that is simply that. It isn't to do with individuals or parties, it is something which affects us all. A babybooming country decided to Airstrike us for RL stuff. The march of the Argentine was inevitable, and it is unsurprising that Ireland took advantage of that and it is ridiculous to try and blame this on anything but the crazy admin who decided airstriking a) made sense or b) was a good idea. As Congress' representative in Cabinet I believe that the Government put in a good effort to repel the Argies, back against the wall and all guns blaring. They put up a fight, we all did. Which was far better than rolling over and taking it.
Secondly, this is not the time for divisive politics. When you have no country ingame, it only further emphasises the community aspect of eRepublik. The eUK is alive and well, as it always is. Because the eUK is a community, not a colour on a map. As long as that community exists, so to does the eUK, and not having a country ingame SHOULD provide us with a common incentive. A wipe is not a reason to score party political points, and it is so abhorrent that some people think, that instead of this being a time to COME TOGETHER and COOPERATE, it is instead a time to start quarrels and fights, and to tear apart that very community which is literally all we have left. So as Speaker, as King, as Citizen, I bally-well demand that you all start playing nice and work together to fix this mess. If you want to be petty and point score then do it when we have a nation back.
Finally, there is an issue of accountability and it will be discussed in Congress, in a calm and sensible manner. I can assure you of that. In fact, whether or not it is my place to say I care not, but there are various wheels in motion to begin sorting out this mess, so worry not. A wipe is only ever temporary. Our allies will soon help us, and although it sucks that we have been wiped, and it sucks that we may be being asked to fight for others, fighting ourselves does not make our allies come any faster. Contributing does. So, worry not. Work together, and if you want to scrutinise or quarrel or point fingers, do so through the correct channels, and more importantly don't kick up a fuss when a lot of people are putting in a lot of effort to deal with this mess. There is, in other words, a correct time and place for everything. What is needed is for us to work together, to show everyone that no, we aren't gone we are still here and in no time at all, we will have a country back. Don't try and point score, don't call for an impeachment or claim that people are incompetent, because what we need is community, not contempt.

mad as hell can't take it etc.

Need advice? Ask France, they'll be wiped soon.
Love you woldy
You still alive ? u old fart : P
I try 😉
Considering we were being attacked on two fronts, being wiped is the best situation we could be in as we can now RW and fight Argentina back, consolidate all our damage into one battle at a time and have TWO support all the while!
Nice in theory, but in practice a country with 11 times more people is pretty likely to come out on top in a resistance war. All we can do is wait.
11 times larger D1 or 2 has no effect on D3 or 4
TWO support? Its a myth, you might as well believe in unicorns
Support in a big alliance means that small countries have to pay to support the efforts of the big countries. : D

"Our allies will soon help us.."
HUEHUEHUE!
Iba a poner algo referido a esa frase tambien xD
"Nuestros aliados nos van a ayudar pronto.." Jajja Polonia no quiere tener fronteras con nosotros, pero ya vienen... vienen corriendo! Keep waiting them..
huahuahua
Meanwhile its allies http://goo.gl/ywO7z
Keep waiting
La idea es tomarnos el palo después del 14, si antes TWO no se pone las pilas, si fuera ingles no estaría preocupado por algo q es solo cuestión de tiempo.
Matter of time indeed! http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/law/Poland/125910
Nice speech Woldy, completely agree. 🙂
There has been mistakes made, we could have been more of a pain in the arse but in the end we would have been wiped still. Jimbo still has questions to answer, but I agree with the sentiment.
And congress shall be raising those questions soon 🙂
Congress also require questioning and their reasons for voting for Argie as the NE need to be addressed.
TUP defending a TUP CP
Don't brand me plz, am partyliss
you are rotten TUP to the bone 😛
lol, I am pro-UK, nothing more
It might be a TUP member defending a fellow TUP member but that doesn't mean what is written is by default wrong....
I'm sure if you were CP then you'd be arguing that it wasn't your fault and the wipe out was purely down to circumstances... It isn't as if you have been CP at times of being attacked on multiple sides and the eUK being in danger of a wipe out...
He's UKRP far more than TUP, tbqh. Or Spamican, if you'd rather
Tinyant, shh.. looking at how your last term was a huge failure, your arguement is invalid.
i recall eUK still having regions and holding colonies, sounds quite successful to me
Sterling article old bean o/
VOTED. SUBSCRIBED.
HBM Emperor Ryan I of GB
voted for failure?
stuff UK serves u right
eUK, pretty much a non-country anyway...
H0H0H0H0H0 C WHAT I DID THAR?
I DID YES, 10/10 WOULD READ AGAIN
BIG VOTE

I understand what your trying to say but I can almost guarrentee that if it had been a CP from the other side of the fence, there would still have been political point scoring.... Its a shame but its whythe eUK is not alowed nice things
Voted anyway 😉
Voted, decent article. Welcome to the elite society of the wiped. eCanada though is currently leaving this land of the exiles and returning.. FEAR OUR ANGRY BEAR LUMBERJACKS.
Woldy the real voice of the euk o7
I agree with this article, anyone in CP position wouldn't have a chance, we would still be wiped, its what the next CP does that's important. Diplomacy is needed and and it don't matter what party there from they need to listen and learn and not just want the medal for being CP. Talon or BigAnt could get our regions back if everyone has faith and trust, because it will not happen in the first week but it will happen, I BELIEVE IN EUK and most of the citizens are good people and have EUK in their best interest.
Voted, and lets be honest if this was BigAnt in charge he would face unjust criticism for it...if it was JamesW he would face unjust criticism...sad but true.
All Hail the King! ^__^
