Pick a series...any series!!!
Bean&teddy
So to mark my return to this game I have decided I will start up a new series. However I can't really decide which i would like to do.
I've narrowed it down to a few options but please let me know which ones you'd like to see:
1) Interviews:
Yes another interview series but slightly different. A real grilling into individuals. These would ideally be long articles where I really get into the persons moral values and ideology's. (one article every week)
2) debates:
Yes, exactly what it says on the tin, debates. I would get different interest groups every week eg: partys, MU's etc, and give them a subject. They have a day of debating privately. Then I post the debate as an article. You vote for who you think won the debate and the winning group receives some sort of prize.
(one article per week)
3) You've been frame😛
A weekly prank is conducted on somebody who is nominated by a member of the public. The result is published here. Not too sure how this would work and some more thought it needed. (one article per week)
4) Citizen biographies:
I will use my expert research skills to write a genuine unbiased eHistory of some of Ireland's finest eventually making up a catalog of biographies. Includes fun facts and interviews from the person and other players about the player.
(one article every 3/4 days)
So thanks for all the welcome backs folks they've been much appreciated. I'm still catching up with everything as loads has changed while I've been away. Great to see some familiar faces still around. As I said let me know which series you would like to see.
Thanks,
bean&teddy

I'd go with interviews or citizen biographies
God no, we are all bored with that at this stage.
but most debates in ireland translate into arguing, bragging, insulting and pissing contests. 😛
I'd go with citizen biographies. Depending on how its done, it could be somewhat entertaining. Interviews are overdone here and there are few of us who'll bother reading through an intentionally long one. Debates will lead to arguing, pranks would be a tad bit too risky for me to try but go for it if you're confident. 😛
I'd considered doing biographies myself even, so if you need any help/graphic assistance then contact me if that's your choice. o/
(I wish there were a good card generator online for free, and someone could even make eIreland's finest trading cards. 😛 We could even make an actual game out of it)
biographies can be good.
my vote
1, 2 and 4 sound interesting
Drop 4 there is enough * kssing going around. the other 3 sounds fine. as writer who has done the most work in eRepublik perhaps,I tend to find that people do not like concept articles for a long time.
Debates mmm the problem is there is something one calls debating logic and concepts . It tend to happen that a person that has done this in school/college tend to concentrate on these concepts such as "slippery slope" strawman fallacy.That leads to true debating going dead or only these people debating it. I used to debate on a game forum and one of their grouses was "articles" which was not by professor etc. They would attack the source rather than the content. And if you go that route it become too much work. I already do a lot of research in most of my fields doing it in a game is not fun.
LOL
3. Pranks!
How about an explanation of how SAWC got away with the cash during your term, that would make a good article seeing as you were AWOL at the time, tat would interest a lot of us more than the abouse suggestions.
he did explain everything just go back a few articles. yes lets hear from the guy who had a life threatening operation why he didn't check in each hour in an online game to stop our fake money being stolen..
yep and while he s at it he can explain why he gave SAWC the passwords, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about that theft.
huh did you bother reading the article it was because he considered him the most trustworthy cabinet maker. [to answer your so called unanswered ?]
boy your lazy 2 articles back:
I am writing this as I owe eIreland an apology and I am going to explain to you what happened. Basically my inactivity was due to my appendix bursting a few days before the elections, between hospital, rl and getting over surgery I wasn't really motivated to play the game for the last while.
I returned briefly a week or two ago to find that we had been robbed and the accused thief was one of my own cabinet members. I take full responsibility for the orgs falling into his hands. He was one of the people I trusted most in the whole cabinet and at the time was in line to become next CP.
What happened was while changing over the accounts at the start of my term (which ironically i did for security reasons and because the previous CP went inactive and we had no access to orgs) I ran out of emails I was allowed make on all the different servers so I asked Sawc to make some as I trusted him and needed them done asap.
So while I was inactive he entered the orgs and stole millions from eIreland. I take full responsibility for this as I really should of been more careful and as a result as a nation we have suffered.
I have been 2 clicking now for the last few days so I dont really know whats happening however I did see an article about how bootcamp needs help. I have donated everything I own to them.
I doubt I will ever be able to repay that amount of IEP back but I will work to rebuild eIreland every way I can until the day I eDie.

huh did you bother reading the article it was because he considered him the most trustworthy cabinet maker.
everyone knew SAWC/Maedoc was a thief, so how was he trustworthy??
afterwards we knew? and if you knew before why did you keep mum
A burst appendix is not what i would teerm life threatening, the fact is he was slack with security and because of his slackness the country lost 2m+, whats he going to do to make it up to us, donate gold/CC to the treasury?.
He was CP, he should have taken the job serious and protected the country and its assets.
if you leave a burst appendix you die how is that not life threatening? your thinking of removing your appendix which is not life threatening however burst one is very life threatening.
he broke up all his factories and repaid a large chunk . when are you going to give us back the money marcus stole this was exactly the same modus operandi.
tit for tat you and him :you 2 should form a support group or something :"public officials who lost the entire treasury due to negligence." powltetdtn'
Your trolling right Nogin? Life threatening or not, a burst appendex is more important than a fucking game.
You can say he didn't take the job seriously enough, that he should've done his research had he not known about sawc, or should'nt have taken the risk if he had known.
You can call for him to pay back the theft. It'd take a while but it's an understandable demand from one point of view.
But if you want to question him, message him. Don't drag the public into another shitstorm just cause your bored.
he was back various times since the theft, but never did anything to explain things till he thought it had gone away.
As for a burst appendix, i'd one of those too when i was young and survived, its not really a big deal unless you live in a third world society where medical treatment is unavailable.
you cant eat solid foods for a short time after the operation.. so what aboout the money marcus stole since your so wealthy I assume we can soon expect it back then? As an example of the level of conduct you demand from bean.
Nogin believe it or not I did try and take the job very seriously. I took over when we were more or less wiped. My team and I worked 24/7 to get our country back. I also realised that the accounts holding all the irish money hadn't been changed in months. Despite sweet drinkers insistence that the money was safe I doubted him and made new accounts for he treasury accounts. I reached the limit of email accounts I could make so I asked one of my most trusted friends sawc who I had worked with for months. Back then he had no bad history in fact he had a reputation for being a really good worker. So when my appendix was burst I logged on for a little while and gave sawc a spreadsheet with the accounts and passwords to pass on to the next president as I wasn't going to be on and I didn't want the treasury being blocked out of the money. (Pretty stupid looking back on it but I wasn't really thinking sensibly at the time. ) so next time I logged on I was informed everything had been taken. I wrote my apology and donated everything to the irish boot camp which I'm sure someone can confirm. Unfortunately as I said in my article I'll never be able to pay back the rest of my money but I will try in every way i can.
I appreciate the support guys thanks o/
Nogin I understand why your angry I would be too if I was in your position. I let eIreland down. You and every over citizen deserves an explanation and I have no problem giving them one.
At least you acknowledge you were wrong, which is a start.
However " I asked one of my most trusted friends sawc who I had worked with for months. Back then he had no bad history in fact he had a reputation for being a really good worker."
SAWC has had many alias over the years before being Sir Arthur William Currrie (SAWC) who incidently always had a bad reputation in eCan before coming to ireland??
He was also Maedoc and several other names as well, and none of them were good, so you now see the the saying "everything that glitters is not gold", is the same for friends, just because they are nice to you does not make them real friends, you need to do a bit of research in future before you start trusting people, had you known him for ages as you say you should have known this.
why do ireland with over 3 million in the treasury need bean to repay then you repay as well as you were mof when marcus stole in your own words.
Also malbekh pay as well tell me if you want to work out some kind of payment plan to put before the public Nogin.
ok why he gave him all the passwords probably still because he trusted him and was in a bind because of operation. my brother also nearly died of this you get very sick undergo excruciating pain and is saved by a few minutes most of the time. and have to follow a special diet and recover for a few days in hospital.
diet has nothing to do with a burst appendix, its a clinical issue not a health style issue.
I agree I should of done more research but he had been in high up positions of power the previous two presidential terms.nobody at the time suspected sawc of any previous wrong doings or if they did they never vocalised them. Otherwise I would of never put him such a position. I had no reason not to trust him. He had always been there for me when I needed him and was one of the hardest workers I knew. This was a guy all of Ireland trusted not just me. That's why I trusted him and my naivety got the better of me. It was as you say my duty as CP to do more research. I can see why that's frustrating to see all of eIrelands hard work go out the window, but now I'm here and as I said I will do whatever it takes to repay what I owe to eIreland. Unfortunately that is all I can d right now. If you know a better way please do let me know. Anytime I save up a bit of money it will go to eIrelabd and I will help it in any other way I can.
Biographies. I can draw up a list of the people to trash, er, I mean give a life history for.
3 or 4 I reckon, although I think 3 might be a bit hard to pull off without alienating someone.
Every second paper has an interview of some kind in it so I am getting a bit tired of those and debates well we have those in pretty much every paper 😛
I'd go with citizen biographies
With so many Citizens having had previous accounts/names why not do an expose naming the previous names/accounts they had and what they got up to in previous elifes, be it good or bad and then an interview with their current player account asking why/how they've changed since they started playing erep
Biographies.
