My Explanation

As the saying goes " excuses are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink "
I try to be a responsible player. When I agree to do a job I will accomplish it and I will not slack off or leave my job unfinished. I cant stand it when people sign up for a position and then do not put out. However, I feel I failed Ireland.
The last week of my presidency I was on a cruise to Alaska. Previously, I thought internet would not be a problem. Unfortunately, when I arrived on the ship with IP and family , I found out that internet cost 75 cents per minute ( way above my desire to play erepublik ). As a student I have very limited funds so I was only able to go on the internet twice on board and both times were around 5 minutes.
I want to apologize for my lack of foresight on the matter. It was my full intention to serve Ireland the whole month and I feel very bad about letting yall down the last week. I did let my Ministers know beforehand that I might not be able to get on but I didnt think there would be a problem.
Since my presidency is over and the current administration has moved away from this I thought I would tell you some of my behind the scenes moves .As some of you might have noticed I had been trying the past month to get Ireland into a war with the United Kingdom. I wasnt very secretive about it but my Ministers and I had been organizing and communicating with countries and groups around the globe to help us in our bid to invade the UK. It was my full intention to declare war on the United Kingdom in the last few days of my presidency. Infact I even got on a computer on the cruise paying through the nose with the express purpose of declaring war. Sadly, I couldnt get the computer to work correctly.
I still believe war with the UK would be the best course of action. This is a game and I think it would be fun for us to be more then a little risky. Hell, how many times has the UK said were not the worth the gold to attack ? Maybe its time for us to test that.
But I am out of government now and likely will not be back in for awhile. Not quite sure what I will do yet but I will definitely be around.
See you soon Ireland

Enjoy your Vacation. I was also surprised at your absence.
welcome back
Its cool boss, would've been nice to have the DoW on UK tho
War with UK sounds good to me too, boss. Voted
ok, i forgive you, if thats what you are looking for!!! 😛
v
No problem
Vacation is more important then a game 😉
Hey, things happen. You didn't foresee that the internet would be a problem. We are still here. The world didn't end. Glad to have you back with us.
IMPEACH HIM wait no ....
I forgive you whoever pushes the button will be fun but will ultimatly lead to our eventual destruction.
No problem. If you had missed your cruise or spent a small fortune on internet for eRepublik then you'd have to admit you have a bigger problem 😉 It's a game, after all.
Damn! We came within one faulty cruise ship computer from getting all-out war with the eUK? That sucks! 🙁
I forgive you though and I hope you enjoyed the Tom Cruise!
Alaska? did you see any Russians?
just troll the eUK media saying they're bad allies if they don't block USA when they and their MPP stack are rampaging thru soviet russia 😉 Then call them pnssywhipped and puppets for bowing to phoenix pressure to block 🙂
We'll have war soon enough hopefully... without wasting our gold. And people said an MPP with the US would never bring action 😛
Does this mean I have to write a pink apology too?
Alaska is so fun, though 🙁
You aren't even married and staying in a small cabin on a cruise is highly inappropriate. Also, it was rude to not invite me.
Yeah, my Cruise charged ~1.00/minute internet fee during my eSK Congress Speaker days back in April. Glad I stockpiled Q1 foods and deputized someone before I left, since I didn't bother to log.
Was Alaska fun? Considering it as next year's destination.
@Ronnie Your comment is highly inappropriate and rude. I see that you are continuing to ingratiate yourself with the most influential people in Ireland. Good job. *sarcastic thumbs up*
Patton I find this excuse absolutely unacceptable. You should not have gone on holiday when you had duties on the internet!
jk
XD
I forgive, hope you had a good time 😛
Alas, so close to war. But as fate would have it, t'wasn't to be.
Hey Ron who said they were staying in the same cabin. Way to make friends and influence people.
RL>Erep
Typical, if it was a Labour CP who did this wed never hear the end of it.It really is time for state within a state.
I've never heard anyone critisize any of the Labour CP's eIreland has had.
If being the magic word
Patton already stabbed me in the back. I have no problem with posting important comments questioning his activities.
Looks like I will have to pick a fight with UK by myself.
Boom goes the dynamite!
Taking a cruise to Alaska like my boy Earp. Tell me, when taking a cruise to Alaska does one EVER leave the boat?
"RL>Erep"
I wholeheartidly disagree. For those of us which have no RL then that would mean we only have eRep and this eRep is the only thing we have and thus we do not recognise RL and thus this excuse is unacceptable to those of us which have no RL and thus OMFGZ WHY DID YOU LEAVE US?!?!?!!?!?! Irish PrinceSS WUT?!?! A GIRL?? ON MAH INTERWEBS???? WUT? Hey babe, wanna hook up sometime? 😉 I haz gold 😉 (on my eRep account which is the only form of account as i do not recognise RL)
Glad to hear it was a good trip! And we'll forgive you, well maybe not all of us, but who cares about those that dont right?
lol OJ was gonna say the same,
RL is not always > erep
It does for me though, cause i'm awesome 😛
Just a big smile.
Glad ye enjoyed yerselves.
Public internet access sux 🙁
The RL World over...either dodgy, or dear, or both.
Meh, bah, and grrr...on an iffy 3g in the mountains 😉
Longbaugh: We left the boat, silly. It was always BBRRRRR cold, though.
😉
YOU DID NOE ANSWERZ MAH QUESTION IP!?!
If I had a beautiful Princess as a girlfriend, you damn sure know Id be staying in the same cabin....or else Id knock down the door to get in....
😃

@Patton: Cheers, mate - hope you enjoyed your vacation.
On a side note: I friend almost anyone who asks, and I rarely have to unfriend after that. But if someone decides to be snide and rude for no reason -- and if they decide that someone else's personal life is their business -- then it's time to step away. So... bye, Ronald.
