CP Update Day 1112
•
by John Gormley
Okay, firstly sorry for the delay in releasing a first article. Monday is by far the busiest day in college (I'm on Xmas holidays soon so that won't be a problem anymore). And I was also beset by poor Internet connection for about 2 hours when I got home.
But now I am just after a meeting on IRC with Marcus Suridius and JohnSmith 2K9 about the invasion and I will fill you in below as much as possible.
First though, I want to discuss the CP election. I want to thank everyone who voted for me yesterday and I must say I really appreciate your support and encouragement over the last week. I am delighted to have won and I feel very privileged to be in this very prestigious position. Unfortunately, there has to be a loser, and I would like to commiserate with James and Michael who sadly had to miss out on this occasion. James in particular ran an excellent campaign and I hope he comes back in the future because he would do well IMO.
Cabinet:
President/An Taoiseach: John Gormley
Vice-President/An Tánaiste: mirek12345
Co-Chiefs of Staff: Sennan Blake and Boris Tomic
Co-Ministers of Defence: Marcus Suridius and orangejuicemmm
Co-Ministers of Finance and Trade: Octavius Dryst and DashRiprock
Minister of Foreign Affairs: JohnSmith 2K9
Co-Ministers of New Citizens: Fr0Fr0 and Michael Hook
Minister of Community: James Keiller
Minister of Immigration: Jacques Cousteau
A couple of notes on this team:
- mirek was today mentioned in an article by Maddog, and he was quoted as saying there's a "fair chance" of peace between eUK and eIreland. While I think mirek was a little naive and silly, I don't think he did much wrong. He really believed he was speaking with jhorlin and he was actually misquoted. Maddog is only a troll trying to stir up trouble and I would trust mirek over him any day.
I am not intending to sack him at all because I still have faith in him.
And to the Canadians I say, we don't want peace at all. We will continue to stand by you because we value your friendship.
- You will notice OJ as Co-MoD. Marcus and I were discussing on IRC, and we wanted an ICA-IDF partnership at CoS and MoD to help bring the two organizations together.
Marcus said he wanted OJ as Co-MoD and he insisted on it. While I know this will definitely not be a popular decision, I think it is for the good of the country and I will stand by it.
Invasion
As you all are aware, the defence against the eUK invasion went abysmally and we are down to one region.
JohnSmith2K9, Marcus and myself discussed an idea at length tonight and we came up with a plan of action.
Unfortunately, for the plan to work I am not at liberty to tell the public anything about this plan. I can only just try to reassure everyone that I plan to get our country back together as soon as possible. You will see the plan unfold very shortly.
Again, I thank everyone for entrusting me with the duty of running this great country.
Until tomorrow...

Respect.
Mad respect
Voted. This looks like a good Cabinet. I completely agree about Mirek. He's never been anything but a service to this country, and to throw him under the bus because of a British troll would be the pinnacle of injustice. Hopefully some more people will read this first CP article.
Best of luck as Ireland's new CP. Honour and independence to Ireland.

I'm going to kill someone, and they are going to put a medal on me for it.
New war rules coming in tomorrow... the admins dont seem to have figured them out completely tho since its pretty much impossible for a wiped country to get its companys back :/
Tbh I think the OJ move is too early... especially since he has never returned one cent that he stole afaik. I presume he'll be returning to Ireland and getting citizenship?
That's how you do it. I didn't know any of the other cabinet positions until now, and they are very well established.
Luminara, First you should try do something for Ireland that might help..
@Sean We're undecided, We (Marcus and I) want to remove politics from Military completely, most, nearly all national militaries are run separate from politics and we want to try bring this into Ireland.
If it proves too much for people to handle I will return home but right now I would like to stay in Israel as I have commitments over there already.
I'll let John make the decision.
Unity \o/

"And what was wrong with last impeached CP then?"
Please don't put this in comments, message someone if you want to know. Asking this is a good way to deface an entire article.
Good man FrOFrO. o7
Good luck John Gormley. o7

@Fr0Fr0
Then, I change my comment with something more politically-correct.

Very nice first article. Looking forward towards serving with you this term.

theft and treason go beyond politics.
Seems like a very good start. Best of luck to you.
I for one wanted OJ to be brought in, he is a very exp player and with this we will look to fully unite Ireland.
Me and OJ to kick lumps out of our enemies.
Good luck with all of that.
Good, a united front is the only possible way we can maximise our potential. IDF-ICA partnership is the first step in securing that unity again.
Good work John and best of luck.
good luck n fix the economy o/
good work John, i look forword to working with you this month.
Good luck John, and good luck to all ministers too. 🙂
Voted.

What Dishmcds said but insert a very large amount of curses!
Unlike your lot Dish we are happy to make tough choices when they are needed. Go hide behind your mpp's you bitches.
And what am I to go hide behind Marcus? I don't see this as a tough choice. I see this as caving and bending over yet again to thieves and traitors. I am whole heartedly opposed to OJ holding any sort of government position. I will stop for the moment because of the amount of swear words forming.
Nice cabinet. Now, let's see if they can dance...
>impeach OJ over MoD decision
>OJ steals monies
>leaves country
>BRING OJ BACK AS MoD
Derp.
Uaithne the crap that has been going on for ages is stopping, how many months has the crap with the ICA/IDF being going on?
I have been told by so many foreign CP's and MoD's that Ireland needs the two working toghter, we see it ourselves this cant keep going on.
I taught about someone else from the ICA but we need a commander, IB people would give out about, James left Ireland so OJ was the only one who is exp enough and he does command respect from the ICA which is what we need. People need to see the bigger picture, James returned stolen money and fair play to him for doing it.
This wasnt a randomly taught out idea I taught it over for a good while and if it fails ill gladly hold my hands up and say I tried but I failed.
What Marcus said.
I know most of you won't like this and you have good reason, but please can you understand why we did it?
Well, tbh I can't understand, and agree with Ua, Dish and MC.
But I wish you well anyway, if you guys are happy with the choice then you are the ones that have to execute it.
I've nothing more to say on the matter, even to OJ.
