Voting Drones: An IRT Investigation - Part 1: ILP/THE CHEEKY LADS
KeetnaWilson
Hello Again-
As a member of eIrish society it was hard to miss the many accusations of vote fraud thrown across sides, not only inside parties, involving PTOs, but also across party lines, and against whole political ideals. That is why I am creating this set of articles, investigating the activity of party members, and the accuracy of voting drone claims. I will be investigating every major party, including but not limited to: Eire Aonair, Independent Labour Party, Irish Revolutionary Force & Omega Eireann.
For this first article I will start with claims already made. Many have accused Winston Hope Smith and the former ILP administration of voter drones, while the same accusations have been throw against MR. HANK SCORPIO, PP of THE CHEEKY LADS, the new version of the Independent Labour Party after the PTO. I will be trying to keep this study completely non bias, and that is why I am including every party that has major congressional representation, and a good amount of political figures, this is just the first part.
For this investigation, I will focus my attention on the people you don't see around often, and will mostly, but not completely, exclude party cabinets and party members in high positions.
The reason I mention this is the first account we will look at. 'orangejuicemmm' is the Secretary General & a congress member of THE CHEEKY LADS.
orangejuicemmm
Yet, this figure, in the one of the biggest positions in the party either doesn't bother to play eRepublik, or is a complete mult.
This figure has gained experience points ONCE in the past month.
If you look at the other statistics, they've also only increased in Strength once in the past month, and have gained Rank Points once.

ChewChewShoe
Another member of Hank Scorpio's cabinet, as Spokesman & Congress Member, ChewChewShoe is sadly also mostly inactive.
They have gained experience points twice in the past month, but have gained a total less than orangejuicemmm in one day.
They've only gained strength once, and haven't fought at all, not gaining any rank points.

MR. PADRAIG PEARSE
Not only Vice President & Congress Member, MR. PADRAIG PEARSE is the presidential candidate of the CHEEKY LADS this election cycle. Once again though, this person is fairly inactive.
They have gained experience points five times in the past month, though 2 of the times were just 2 experience points (working once or training once), once was just voting, and one pother time was voting and working once or training once. There was only one day where this player seemed to spend more than 5 minutes in eRep.
They haven't earned strength at all this month, and fought one day.
I'm trying to stay unbias, but this remember, this person is running for president in 7 days.

COMMANDER PEARSE
This person was voted into congress this election cycle. Once again, this person is inactive.
They have gained experience points four days in the past month. One of the days they just voted (did nothing else), one day they just gained 5 EP, and the two other days they actually played.

They have gained strength four times also, and have fought twice.

Sean MacDiarmata
This person is councilor in the current administration of the ILP/THE CHEEKY LADS. They are partially inactive, more active than others on this list, but definitely not an active, contributing member of this society.
They have gained experience points 7 days in the past month. Two of the days they gained only 2 EP, one they gained only 7 EP (2EP + voting). The other four days were general days.
They've gained strength 5 days, and have fought and gained rank points 4 days.

Liam Tatlock
While being an experienced player, this player is currently mostly inactive.
They've gained experience points twice this month, both on election days. All of the EPs they have gained have been from voting, nothing else.
They haven't gained strength, or fought and gained rank points. A common, simple voting drone.

Uncle Bulgaria
Another Simple voting drone. They've only gained experience points on election days (CP&PP), though gained two extra on one election day. That gives them two total days when they gained EPs.
They haven't gained strength or fought and gained rank points in the past month. Again, a voting drone.

Gallifreyan
Once again, a voting drone. They've only gained the 5 EPs on the two election days in the psat month for CP and PP. That gives them two total days of EP gain.
Again, they haven't gained strength or fought and earned rank points. Another voting drone.
https://www.erepublik-deutschland.de/en/tools/playerstats/7140357
Bassy
Haven't gained experience points at all or voted. Not a voting drone, just plain inactive and dead.
Again, they haven't done anything, no strength or rank points from fighting.
https://www.erepublik-deutschland.de/en/tools/playerstats/4374135
Tara C
Have gained EPs 7 times in the past month. Not very active.
Seems all they've been doing is voting, working, and training. They've gained strength all of the 7 days, but haven't fought and gained rank points at all.
https://www.erepublik-deutschland.de/en/tools/playerstats/8600303
Depay
They've gained EPs 4 times in the past month. One of them was a small gain on election day. It's less likely they were a voting drone, more likely they just were playing, and then stopped around Dec 7th. Make that 6 days. Read the graph wrong, they decided to come back and play both other election days. They may have stopped playing, but they became a voting drone.
They've gained strength 5 days, and fought 4 days (gained Rank Points).

Honorable Mentions:
Cormac Airt - Inactive
Johnny Scene - Dead
GarNightWind - Was active, pretty much ended playing around Dec 16
Actually Active Folk:
MR. HANK SCORPIO
Winston Hope Smith
Loouman - More or Less (Meh mostly active)
Highonsnow - More or Less (Meh mostly active)
Summary:
This party is mostly inactive. A small portion is completely active, most players are either inactive voters for the ILP or for HANK and his PTO CHEEKY LADS. Most accusations appear to be correct. Regardless, this first article has shown that voting drones are a major problem not only in eIrish politics, but in eRepublik in general. It will be interesting to see how these results compare to the other parties of eIreland. Remember, this article was written completely unbias. Articles like this will be posted for the top 4 parties soon.

Interesting.
Waiting to read about other parties too
It's complete garbage.
He´s showing the real activity of irish citizens and then he will continue with other parties. I don´t considerate this garbage
It is complete garbage but for the fact that Krakken used the same site and data to discredit the original ILP voters and it was great but now said data is used against and it is garbage.
u mEan sluagh
It was An Sluagh, read my comment below Anthony. You might just learn something lol
If it was Sluagh and not you Krakken then I was mistaken and am sorry.
That you know adult words? I already knew that.
That's what you want us to think..
OJ, Chewy, Padraig & Sean are returning players - not voting drones. Go back further, do these players log in each month of every election day? No. Have these players made articles, comments & shouts since they returned? Yes. Therefore, not voting drones.
Now go through WHS' old school ILP boys. Go back further, do these players log in each month of every election day? Yes. (Just to prop up WHS in whatever election he's running in). Have these players made articles, comments & shouts since they returned? Very, very, very few. Therefore, voting drones.
It's a very simple distinction.
This article is nothing more than WHS inspired propaganda. Comrade Chew Chew Show would appreciate if you would message him a time when you are free so he can arrange a sit down. Your ties to WHS may assist in his capture.
Thank You,
ILP Party Leader,
Revolutionary Socialist Party Council Member,
Hank
Hank I would say that most of the people playing this game have bailed. So the mostly meh voters supporting Winston are two clickers now. I was gone for a while. I have returned also.
But this was a PTO. Plain and simple. I was a member before I left and am so again after returning. None of the new "leaders" of the party were members last month. They all joined right before the election and bam. Now they are the leaders after the PTO. A PTO that succeeded by one vote.
There is nothing that no one can say that won't make me believe this was a PTO. I have been playing for a long time. I have lived through and fought against many PTOs before. Party. national you name it.
That is what this was.
I'll have a go at that Anthony 🙂
A PTO is an aggressive takeover for the purpose of turning that group's position or power-base to the perpetrator's end. But ILP has neither of these to offer an aggressor. And political parties provide no direct access to power in eIreland's current social framework.
Making it much more likely that Hank is attempting to eliminate the ILP construct rather than take possession of it.
Still a political take over.
And you are right Sweet. Parties have no power. Especially now with a Dictator.
So eliminating the ILP construct does what?
Winston can still shout. He still has a newspaper.
All this did was create some sympathy for Winston's position and gives credence to his statements that Hank and co are PTOers who cant handle the truth and are trying to silence him.

Thanks for the constructive dialog Hank. Much appreciated.
Sweet explain to us why "Hank" Went from PTOing the Irish Freedom Party to going to the ILP in one month? Because my loyal party members left the IFP and made it a 6th party dropping it out of the Top 5 making it impossible for "HANK" to run or control a CP nomination. Any fool can see that.
If I had to say Chance, I'd guess that Hank doesnt like you. So he targeted the political party you were working from. He probably considers that a great success.
So then he remembered he didn't like Winston aaaand...
Returning my ass. Sean aka Marcus would have said plenty more by now if it was indeed him. Same with OJ and Chewie. You obviously have their logins. Lies upon lies.
Winston has been shouting abuse from that empty soapbox for ages.
That is why the community has been so comfortable watching Hank kick it over.
So? One persons truth is anothers abuse.
Winston has his opinions. Everyone does. He plays the game the way he wants to and thinks it should be played.
Just like everyone else.
PTO is allowed via game play if you want to get technical
But once we as a community allow our parties to be PTOed by other members of our community and say nothing then we are not a community. At one time Ireland was a community. We fought our ideological battles. But when the chips are down we came together.
Now we are dividing ourselves
"[NAME] has his opinions. Everyone does. He plays the game the way he wants to and thinks it should be played.
Just like everyone else.
PTO is allowed via game play if you want to get technical"
Just insert Hank's name into your own assertion ^there and your argument collapses:
Why should "we, as a community" sit idle while Winston plays how he wants (regardless of its impact on the community), and then rise up to prevent Hank from doing exactly the same? You said yourself it is allowed.
Well what you said is true Sweet if you don't look at my second paragraph.
Yes Hank can do what he did. He can play the way he wants to.
But my point is that for as long as I can remember we have argued and argued about politics and how things should be played but we never tried to destroy each other. We came together when PTOs happened not looked the other way. No matter the disagreements we kept the arguments going. I think that is the reason why some even played. The verbal spats made the game fun for some.
But now we have started to try to silence each other and if that does not work then we destroy. Like you said Sweet, parties mean nothing politically. PTOing does nothing to silence Winston. This is only done to hurt.
Once that happens we open the door to who knows what.
What negative impact on the community has Winston caused? Like I said he plays the way he feels he wants to. Just as you, me and everyone else who isn't a multi has. If he feels that something is wrong he has the right to speak up.
It is all point of view.
We all have one.
We have never tried to silence each others though.
Your glass house got smashed because you kept letting some jacka$$ throw stones from it's balcony.
Winston's comments/behaviour were clearly designed to hurt.
So they hurt him back.
It so that makes it right?

Just because you say the article is completely unbiased doesn't make it so.
Justifying Liam Tatlocks inactivity in the first sentence hardly makes this a bias and accurate account.
Secondly, all you have done is measure the amount of times I have worked, voted and gained experience points and your only conclusion was that I did all three..
Explain to me how that makes me a voting drone?
It literally just means that when I login and there is something to do, I do it.
I might not be able to login as often as you..I do have RL friends and family after all who in my eyes are far more important than this dead game.
oj i miss y'
I let this debate run before commenting to see where it might lead.
What I see is those apologists for the vilest players who this eCountry ever had, who have served, and continue to serve, obscene and extreme abuse to anyone who dared differ (even to the point of trolling Mike Bane about the abuse he got from is dad...yes that actually happened or Trolled Bhane about his heart problems...yes that too) have somehow grown a very thin skin and are "upset" about mild but very truthful points I raised about their game play.
And then to read the apologists of said vile players who justified behaviour of their buddies somehow reach the opinion that telling the truth is "shouting abuse".
Everyone knows what is happening now is an attempt to silence any differing opinion...the only difference between us is this is a tactic some of you support and some of us don't.
But you all know what is happening..

with that comment alone it proves pp ain't a multi
the only thing you can see is your own colon.
