Failure of A Government [Rewritten]
1ronman
Note: I have rewritten the article to reflect my views better. Also, I am quitting this game, I am not running for CP. Give it another week or so. This is not an attempt to shift attention away from myself or redeem myself. I'm just trying to point out the corruption within the government that I told you existed. Once again, my main issues lie with congress and not with Dade. I respect Dade for following congress' wishes and understand why he did so, but in my honest opinion, in this case, congress needed to be overruled, and Dade needed to take the action that was necessary. Regardless, I want to assure you Dade is NOT my target, Congress is. Ask any one of my closest friends in this game, for the past year, I have absolutely despised how congress has handled bills and decisions.
Debate of the Rental Agreement in Congress: http://ecanada.ws
Failures of Congress:
A rental agreement deal was proposed within congress by Dade. I, among a few others as well as Dade were avid supporters of the bill. Congress voted it down no for no VALID reasons besides Nationalism ones. For the Nationalism BS that i'm referring to go here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/1434561/1/20

Failures of the Executive:
It took us 4 months to create a V2 Fund of 2600G. We then lost it because of poor password and email management by the Nea Milosu Administration.
We were offered nearly 3000G a month for 3 months for Manitoba, High Grain/Wood. We have several other regions which also contain BOTH. Manitoba generates at BEST, 300G a month. We were being offered 10X that!
I respect Dade's desicion to follow the will of congress. Afterall, I doubt any President would risk impeachment just to get a bill through.
What I do have a problem with is that Dade Pendwyn waited till after Jbdivinus and I released BOTH of our articles to publish an overview on the whole matter. Even when Newfoundland was in foreign control, he said NOTHING!
Besides that, I hold nothing against Dade, he did what he had to do, but now that he sees the strong public support for this decision, I hope he tries to rework the deal with the Polish.
What We Could Do With 3000G/Month:
We could give 100 Canadians access to Caesar EVERYDAY.
We could have an extra 43 000 Q1 Guns per month enough to supply free Q1 guns to 287 Canadians everyday, the size of our highly active population.
We could drop our income taxes to 1% putting more money into Canadians pockets.
We could give 150 Canadians every month enough money to create a Q1 Company.

Whoa, 3000 gold? That's a THEFT of a price!
When even a man on trial can chastise you, you know you may have stepped wrong.
Hey, you're the guy who stole all that money right?
Makes sense why you'd try to divert attention away from your own shit.
Ill agree with you on this one for Congress,Congress epicly failed,you cant really blame Dade for listening to Congress,they are supposed to "represent the people" after all...
I want to know which congress people opposed it, since some people in their infinite wisdom decided I didn't need the forums to do my job.
"The damage that I've done to this country in the last year and a half, if any, was far surpassed by the damages of the Dade Administration in just THIS term."
but at least it appears to be an "honest" mistake, IMHO.
but that woulda been a sweet deal.
Make the closed door congress debate about this OPEN to the public.
Is somebody upset that I proved he was a thief?
No someone is upset that a deal to secure 3000 gold failed to be made
Hahahahahahaha. Look at that list. Those people should have been out of congress long ago.
I could give you names Pimp - for a price
You guys should have asked me, I'm pro at selling regions...Look at how I handled Karnataka.
Here's my business card.

Damn it 1ronman I was going to make some cash why'd you post that?
Also, no one appreciated my pun.
That one is on congress, no one else, They we're the one who voted it down, Dade respected their choice. Nothing more, if you've got someone you need to blame, look for the legislative branch, that will change the routine.
F*** respecting peoples choices, 3000 is a ton of gold son!
Ready for this article to get 90 votes via Ironman paying somebody with a whole bunch of orgs? I sure am!
Nice deflection, Dade.
That was a very bad pun. What would have been punnier would have been: "With a price that high, its technically robbery"
Duke, it had to be theft, he didn't want anyone to mention theft. I see you are trying to 'steal' my glory.
I've decided to test that list... I messaged every member of the May session of congress, asking if they voted FOR or AGAINST the deal. Let's see how many of them are willing to stand up and say "Yes, I felt that Canada didn't need 3000 gold/month."
*Notices Sencer stabbed Leto wqith a foil*
Curses! Foiled again!
Imaria Prime, one topic we agree on! 🙂
Spencer, you still owe me 50 CAD for the impeachment, btw
DRAMA
Pimp's right Spencer. You owe him.
I don't like agreeing with you; it feels weird. But losing out on gobs of money is a strangely unifying situation.
Of course, you also caused us to lose gobs of money, even if less gobs, so 😛
it was congress who failed you not dade all dade did was take congress opinion
Not really, Steve.
steve #s, CD is right (amazingly enough). It was eCanadians who failed eCanada. We voted in Dade who had a mandate not to overstep Congress. We also voted in the Congress members who opposed the deal. We also contributed to the mindset that eCanada doesn't like high stake deals when we vehemently shot down the idea of renting out a High Titanium region. We like to play it safe when we should be looking at other ways of playing the game.
You can't get any safer then this. If we were to do any international deal involving land this would be one of, if not the best opportunity imaginable. From what Ive seen so far, it is that ecanada has chosen an isolationist stance on international politics, when we should be focusing more on diversifying relations and current agreements.
1ronman cannot into BH
Whoop, there it was. From 28 votes to 98 in a matter of minutes. \o/ for purchasing votes from certified vote sellers!
Dade, that was actually the collective work us us eCanadians.
So to deflect attention from you now you want to call the government a failure for not selling a part of Canada for a handful of gold. If they had wouldn't you just have made off with that too?
And no the damage you have done to the country is not surpassed by what this Dade has done in one term. You need to look past the simply quantity of stuff you made off with and consider the impact. The flood of cheap weapons into the market place for example meant some weapons companies went belly up. I earn 60 percent of what I did before your little adventure. That is an enduring change that hurts me to the toon of several Canadian a day and I am just one of many in the same boat.
You spoiled the game to some extent and I have come close many days since this happened to forgetting to log in. No PM has ever had that impact even when I judged their terms failures and put them on my do not vote for list.
Dade is holding out for the sweeter deal from france, zero gold.
That'll beat some unity into us.
Hate to agree...ur right
first we don't need to be giving away our regions...the government which gets the gold does not help any companies who lose the ability to sell their products (just like our high oil is doing now in NFL)
but really what is the point of 3000 gold when drama queens such as yourself just steal it so people will talk about you?
btw idiots....talk of a contract with poland is just stupid since no contracts can be enforced....I can agree to anything you want but I don't have to follow through with it....a government would be stupid to agree to a deal that can't be enforced
if this article wasn't coming from the biggest thief we ever had, maybe people would listen but people aren't stupid and can see your true intentions.
*sighs* Petz. . . *facepalms*
what makes you think you're in a position to criticize anybody?
There is a message in there somewhere but its coming from the wrong person.
Pot calling kettle black comes to mind. If only he wasn't a complete rank hypocrite.
It is only logical that 1ronman is pissed about 3k gold he is not able to steal now.
😛

actually it would have been 9k LOL.
I would like to know the reasons why it was turned down by congress.
If it was entirely due to unenforceable contracts, I can understand it.
If the reason was misplaced patriotism and citizen b running around and calling everyone a traitor (LOL)for considering it, well, 3k gold a month would have helped the country and EDEN a lot more than keeping Manitoba.
Poland would no longer have to be fighting in France for Rhone Alps allowing EDEN to concentrate on the Serbs, and Canada would have had 9K gold in it's V2 kitty.
And just think of the fun war that could have been had fighting off the dastardly Poles.
Heh, I laughed.
I would rather keep a region and the resources that come out of it, regardless of the gold amount, instead of the gold required to buy it from us for a while. Besides, you never know if the country will be completely willing to let go of the region afterwards, like Petz said, the contracts in this game can't be enforced. It is a loss of a lot of gold, but I don't think it's worth it.
"Is Dade Pendwyn so busy that he cannot write 1 article to explain the situation?
Is Dade Pendwyn so ignorant to not ask the public for their opinion on the whole matter?
Is Dade Pendwyn so mentally unstable that rather than giving up 1 region for 3 months to generate a sum of gold that took us 4 months to generate?"
Let's try this again...
Is Ironman so busy that he cannot write 1 article to explain his business practices to shareholders?
Is Ironman so ignorant to not ask his shareholders for their opinion on their investments?
Is Ironman so mentally unstable that rather than rationalizing his idiotic secretive business investments with people, he cower and fraud many faithful eCanadians?
This is by far, one of the most convoluted articles I've ever read.
1ronman said, "😉isclaimer: MY MAIN ISSUES LIE WITH CONGRESS AND NOT WITH DADE. I Understand Dade decided that following congress' advice was the best course of action. But in all honesty, THIS DECISION IS NOT CONGRESS' TO MAKE."
So, in other words, your main issue is with Dade. Prefacing that with, but in all honesty, adds an element of irony I've yet to see as well.
1ronman said, "The damage that I've done to this country in the last year and a half, if any, was far surpassed by the damages of
the Dade Administration in just THIS term."
The fact that you pride yourself on your journalistic skills is known, so it follows that I know that you realize that this statementis an admission of guilt. The conditional notwithstanding, by not referring to the damage as "alleged to have done", (as having been accused of doing), you admit to doing it.
The fact that you compare your "hidden agenda" to Dade's
"congressional policies" as though they are one and the same, ie. equally valid, speaks volumns as to how much control you felt, still feel, you possess, in the daily inner workings of eCanada. How you can justify that is kind of scary actually.
The use of the singular damage (your's) versus the plural damages (Dade's), especially given the timeline you provide, is just lame.
1ronman said, "Note: YOU ABSOLUTELY FAIL if you even MENTION THE THEFT. THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME, it's about the FAILURES OF this administration and PAST ADMINISTRATIONS."
The same past administrations, many of which included yourself, both overtly and covertly?
Referring to someone's mental stability given your recent spot in the limelight is unwise, not to mention, uncalled for.
Clearly you hate Dade. It's all Dade's fault. You could of just said that instead of publishing this self-defeatist rant.

1ronman, ↑ that ↑ is as honest as it gets. It represents colateral damage and is most likely just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the so-called "damage", which you so casually refer to. The fact that he is willing to try to continue to play this game, is admirable. I wonder how many threw in the towel?
Speed kills btw...
I laugh at 1ronman's desperate attempts to drag others down with him.
