A Vote for Change - Connell Part1
•
by King Connell
Hi everyone,
The time for change has come, we badly need it.
Some people would have you think that this country is running as well as it possibly could be, but this is “not” the case and there is a lot to be done!
During this first article I’m going to talk about good things, but also failings within the IDF and what will be accomplished if you choose to vote for my administration.
This month there have been some good steps taken on behalf of the IDF, communication has improved greatly. The messages I got at the start of the term were very informative and helpful, this has slipped a little bit since the term has gone on, but they were going in the right direction with that.
There has however been a catastrophic failure this month regarding the management of supplies for you, the citizen and soldier. This is the government funded army, funded by the taxpayer, there to supply you with the means to defend the country. This has just not happened this term and that is a catastrophic failure. Changes need to be made and changes will be made.
A system where any Irish citizen can go onto the IDF channel ask for supplies and get them within a reasonable time whether that’s in v1, v2 or v2.5 war module the system would have been the same. It’s not hard to implement, it’s been done in the past, it’s been successful in the past and it should have been there for us this term when we needed it defending our country.
No Cookies?
On the day of the battle for Northern Ireland, I went into the Irish state food company and there was less than 150 food in the company and 2 workers. 150 food isn’t even enough for 5 people to tank and maximise their force on the battlefield. Food is just as important as weapons now, it has been just as important as weapons for quite some time and there should have been as much food in there as possible! But of course very little of the food was ever supplied anyway... That should have been different and that needs to be changed and it will be.
So we had no weapons to fight with and we had no food to heal. Even if we wanted to buy food or a decent weapon from the Irish market we couldn’t have, because nearly all the health food on the Irish market was gone a few hours into the battle and the weapons were going for too high prices.
Apparently now if we want to fight for our country we have to buy our weapons and food from a different country. That should never have been the case.
I hear people saying, “Well we would have lost Northern Ireland anyway”. That’s no excuse, that is irrelevant. Our soldiers have the right to be able to defend our country as well as they possibly can, what matters is that we have a functioning army that the IDF is the strongest it can possibly be.
Remember guys, it’s you who is funding the IDF. You can make decision on how it’s run this term, lets make a positive change for Ireland, lets get this done!

All true.. This was an absolute disgrace. I only hope that this is the last time we see stupidity such as this.
I know who i'm voting for..... DO YOU!
It saddens me that the work I put in within the IDF and see that we cant even get one battle starting without the supply chain falls to crap.
Its time for a change, vote for Connell

good luck
Cheers for all the support guys, this is going to happen!
Connell for President!
Vote for Connell !! I guarantee I wont impeach him o7
wait... was this meant for ireland or the US? im in the US and im seeing this on the article list.
voted anyway
Vote for the cookie monster on the 5th. You just know it makes sense.
i am voting DT,
u have to remeber that we don't have many people, i know i run the IDF comps, its pretty hard to get workers, and keep them, and we also lost most of our comps, so by the time we got a good deal to get a food comp and grain comp back, and its not that bad,
V+S
Goodluck
I think you should keep in mind that our state companies have been melted (I prefer to say intentionally sabotaged).
Btw, nice Rolex 🙂 It is really true that a watch is either nice or expensive.

@JSK, The weapons were in the companies, but the supply channels were not setup. It wasn't a case of not enough gold, but just poor organisation...
Cheers to everyone for the support btw
@JSK Does that explain why some soldiers had no weapons yesterday when we have more than 700 in stock?
This is hilarious.
I FEEL ANOTHER TREASURY THEFT COMING ON.
Oh no! Now I don't know who to vote for!
Good luck Connell! You have every chance of winning.
Well Connell true to form you've jumped on the next band wagon, but wouldn't expect anything less.
The IDF distributes weapons to the IDF soldiers on its books that meet the criteria to be considered active, not every Irish citizen (that's what private weapons company's are for - supplying those not in the military), the same way the ICA distributes weapons to its troops, so misleading citizens into thinking the Goverment provides free weapons for all citizens is misleading - only in exceptional circumstances will this ever happen.
The IDF Q3 food company, this was created mid way through term to supply the IDF troops, it had to get employees and build stock and like any new company, starting up this takes time, remember all our state company's were stolen/destroyed/melted down, and at the time of the UK's attack it was a work in progress situation.
Food & Weapons were distributed by the MoD, some donations may have taken longer than normal to complete, but troops were supplied and certain battles in the new battle module were prioritised to IDF troops as being the ones that we should concentrate on, so supplies were made available for these and in the non - priority battles, IDF troops were advised that we would have little hope of success in these and not to fight, but to save weapons & health/fights for those earmarked by the MoD as our best hope.
As for the price of weapons, that is a matter between you and the irish GM's, its been ages since they sold anything and yet have been paying peoples wages & getting screwed by erepubliks constant changing productivity formulae (many have lost a fortune as a result), food company's are the same, the goverment has no control over the price they charge, it is up to each GM to st the price he thinks is fair, people will profiteer in time of war, you have done it yourself - its a simple case of supply and demand and human nature.
Hopefully the next edition will have more facts and less fiction.
Nogin you are the one talking fiction. I was there in the supply room during the high priority battles and nobody could get supplied.
If anyone wants to see how many weapons were given out click on this link. http://economy.erepublik.com/en/citizen/donate/list/3647453 (Zero)
Perhaps they were supplied in some other way, but none that I know of.
Even if there are other orgs which were used the point is that hardly any weapons were supplied that is a complete failure on the IDF's part. Bottom line
"IDF troops were advised that we would have little hope of success in these and not to fight, but to save weapons & health/fights for those earmarked by the MoD as our best hope." - Nothing like the old days off fight and rank up as quick as possible as these battle's are the times to do it.
"The IDF distributes weapons to the IDF soldiers on its books that meet the criteria to be considered active, not every Irish citizen"
- When the IDF has over 700 high quality weapons in supply and we are attacked we supply all soldiers be them IDF or not if they are defending Ireland. NI may not have been are org region...but it was part of are land so we are meant to defend it till we have nothing left.
Connell the link doesn't work, and the weapons came from various storage orgs, that you would not had knowledge of.
and Marcus, i'm afraid you are wrong, the IDF only supplies non IDF soldiers in time of exceptional circumstances, this wasn't one of them - from the start of the battle we knew there was no point in squandering resources against a foe that had the advantage of superior numbers.
so misleading citizens into thinking the Goverment provides free weapons for all citizens is misleading - only in exceptional circumstances will this ever happen."
UK invaded ffs. Were these not exceptional circumstances???
Not to mention that barehand fighting is an effective option at least for now, maybe some of you realize that without any MPP rest of Ireland is also at stake.
Northern Ireland is more like Saladin's Jerusalem. It is both everything and nothing.
I see nothing more than wasting our limited sources if we used them at NI.
What's your view on EDEN?
luminara, the cost of invasion is prohibitive, even on the side of the uk. But even so, under this "were screwed anyways" mentality would we have even thrown into the defense of the other regions?
"from the start of the battle we knew there was no point in squandering resources"
Nogin, that's the first time anyone has said that!
You're just making it up as you go a long now...
Is this a joke? You wrote a whole article asking people to vote for you to lead this country and all you talked aobut was fabricating one problem the month before about weapons distribution for one battle.
Why is it that everyone thinks they are entitled to free handouts from the goverment? I was irelands top soldier in V2 and ranked just outside top 150 in world and have never once gotten a free gun of MT from the goverment. Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.
Speaking of what you have done for your country. What did you do as a minsiter this last month? When I asked you to organize voters to help Boliva you did a good article, but failed to follow up on organizing any voters. I had to pick that back up and do it. No voters from your party even helped out.
What have you done that qualifies you for the job, what is your vision for Ireland, what changes would you make, who are your ministers going to be, please tell us more. If this was an election for "top complainer" you would win hands down but it is not. I will be voting for real leadership. Vote DT.
Nogin im not sure what you told your MoD's but when I was doing the job, we gave weapons to any person wanting to fight when are island is attacked and we had tonnes...not like we are using them. If you have a look through the article's from a while ago you will see we told everyone to come get supplied and all to fight and rank up. When did this change?
Moo it was are only battle going on and would be are only one until mid October id say at the earliest...so we get all citizens of Ireland in to fight. We don't have to give out Q5's, just don't leave them fighting barehanded like the country has no weapons.
@Moo, "Why is it that everyone thinks they are entitled to free handouts from the goverment? "
We kinda pay taxes + I'm not sure if I'd consider weapons from the IDF hand outs. They'd be pretty much expected
I suppose my manifesto on what's wrong with the country must be clearly worse than DT's article on how the country is being run so well.
This month as a minister I showed initiative in the MoIndustry, tried to organise it better by creating a thread in the forum about it so the ministers could collaborate. You said to me, "That's a good idea" then Nogin moved me out of it!
I went to ye several times during the month, but I might aswell have been talking to a brick wall about the Ministry of Trade.
This is a problem within the IDF which has made it un-operational and needs to be addressed! Everyone else sees it, I don't get how you don't.
Mud slinging from Nogin? OMGTBHWTF? It is expected those who are in power wish to remain in power. Let's try someone else and there's no one better than Connell.
Vote for Connell! A vote for Connell is a vote for progress and delicious treats.
HAHAHA , Racist , short tempered , toxic persona ,
The worst choice EVER for President of Ireland
other than you cas, of course.
@Cas, inflammatory and defensive as always.
Vubbed
Its time for Change!
voted and supported.
Connell I have lost complete respect for your opinions right now and using IDF mudslinging as your banner isn't helping your cause.
Well let me tell you this if soldiers wanted free supply they should read the DoD articles and get a direct link to the supply channel. From there we supply them and we record the supply in our spreadsheet so we know who is fighting. You know the Government doesn't give out free toys to everybody that doesn't show up for supply so if you want them turn up on the supply channel very simple.
The Food Company is running with 6 Employees right now and the main problem is lack of volunteers at the moment because we all have them in the Weapon Companies.
Northern Ireland defence was quite pointless because we couldn't stand a chance at all against UK and its powerful MPPs so it was helping a worthless cause but was fun conquering it at first but I knew we wouldn't keep it for long.
What I find funny is that IDF restoration is your only goal and what about other views? such as EDEN membership, foreign affairs you name it.
"I hear people saying, “Well we would have lost Northern Ireland anyway”. That’s no excuse, that is irrelevant. Our soldiers have the right to be able to defend our country as well as they possibly can, what matters is that we have a functioning army that the IDF is the strongest it can possibly be."
Whats the point wasting supply into the Northern Ireland battle while we weren't going to win anyway? Yes all soldiers have a right to defend as they wish they can fight and fund themselves if the Government want to hold their supplies.
@Nogin "from the start of the battle we knew there was no point in squandering resources against a foe that had the advantage of superior numbers"
Connell can write as he wishes. I'll consider the vote but that quote.. the UK will always have superior numbers, but we've not just going to roll over if they attack Dublin. NI is ours, as important as any of our regions.
I love the way you say you arn't mudslinging, yet there are 40 odd comments and half of them are people saying shit to Connell in comparison to DT articles with 17 Good Luck comments.
Got my vote no doubt, probably Mel's too.
I love your reasoning oj
well then, here's a big GOOOOD LUCK AND WE LOVE CONNELL from me so that offsets the bullsh*t from the commenters.
V+S o7
BA's good luck erases the negative comments. Nogin has been a huge disappointment. As will her hand picked successor DT. A dynasty looms over eIreland and we won't stand for disorganization and one party states (dictatorship).
the pictures are cool.... the words, less so. Not a very presidential tone.
