Switzerland, A New Era
Kishvier
Greetings my brothers, I come to you with promising news. I've spent far too long before I've made my move, but it is time for Switzerland to grow.
For as long as I've been eSwiss, we've faced every threat imaginable: PTO, military attacks, we've seen friends stab us in the back, but through all of that we have survived. Switzerland has come a long way from my first days here, we no longer live in imminent fear of a PTO as we did when I arrived. We have won wars, and shown that we are not to be forgotten (Can you confirm that, France?).
We still have far to go, but it is on this day that I will make my stand. My stand against the plague that has ravaged our country for far too long, the stagnant and combative citizens who complain and destroy any headway we attempt to gain.
I've spent three consecutive terms in congress now, and I have seen the most horrifying things, the lack of action. Our congress has done nearly nothing in the past three months. We've passed part of a tax increase, but it took more than a month to enact. A month. You didn't misread that, but that is the status of our congress and of our people.
And many of you might ask, why on earth did that take a month!? That should take no more than a few days, including discussion, and you couldn't be more right.
The problem our country faces is a small portion of our population fighting change, fighting battles they've long ago lost. I was elected head of congress this month, and I wanted to take a hands-off type approach. I hoped that our congress could manage themselves with a few pushes in the right direction, but I was proved wrong. Most of you wouldn't believe some of the things that are going on, the arguments being perpetuated.
I won't name any names, but these people are arguing and fighting decisions that were made months ago, and these people offer no alternate path of action. They just complain to the point that nothing gets done.
And that my friends, is the root of the problem. I don't care if you disagree with me. In fact, I prefer some do. It keeps the system balanced, it keeps everyone sharp. But if you are to disagree with my path of action, you had better have another path to follow. Congress is ripe with complaints and people complaining about unattainable things, but the counter proposals and alternate ideas are arid and dry. This is the problem.
Today marks the day in which I took true control of the congress, and a day I hope you all will help me in improving this country. No more do I want any to sit and complain and block change without reason. From this day forth, congress will operate almost entirely out of the country forum. This decision has been reached multiple times by vote, but a few members of the congress have prevented it from coming full circle because they subscribe to a mentality of I know best. They don't. Congress has decided time and time again that the best course of action, is to utilize the forums.
Additionally, the topic of voting has been time and time again, brought up. The idea that a 51% or more, majority of congress or the country can be reached is ludicrous. There are far too many inactives and medal hunters that do not care to make such votes be possible. Therefore, any votes taken by the congress on the forums will be majority rule, with abstentions left out. I suggest the president take the same stance with country votes.
With that I will leave you all be, and remember Switzerland. Tomorrow is a new day, a new era.

And to those that have fallen into these acts, I will gladly accept you back as my brothers, if you choose to do so.
😂😂😂😂
On a serious note, I can't read those characters. They don't seem to be on my computer.
They are emoji, emoticons
i'm too old.
i don't know if i can handle a new era.
We have a saying in my country (mostly when you talk about beer, but don't mind that) "One is none". So, whats one more era really? 😉

you lost your mind with a few discussions and now you want to revive a dead forum with just a few congressmen participating or almost reading our ideas
Want a new era: htttp://ehelvetica.boards.net/thread/97/sna-commune if you care eSwitzerland start to discuss here, let's fix the biggest failure ever created in our eCountry
I have replied and I want to get this figured out as much as you do. It isn't doing any good just sitting there, one way or another.
You sir are NOT the majority, you promised participation in that dead forum and until now there's nothing
I don't vote or belong to a party don't go lumping all in the same pot.
I'm not saying you need to belong to a party, but voting is how one gets their voice heard, should they not be elected. You don't have to vote, but don't cry foul when things don't work out how you wanted, because you squandered the one and only thing you had in order to make your opinion more supported. I don't care one way or another if people vote or don't vote, but it's the rampant complaining that gets me, especially when those people had the ability to do something about it, and chose not to.
I didn't vote you for Head of Congress, you're not my authority.
I will stop voting on the forums, because it's useless.
Eras come, eras goes. Everything will be the same.
Switzerland's fear of PTO's is the main reason why the country is dead.
Well you see, that's how votes work. One fellow wins more votes than the others, and he wins. Does that mean Lucas isn't president because he didn't get voted for by every citizen? I think not.
This is the kind of mentality that got Rican against you. All you are doing is standing in the way of the country. You offer no options or anything, you just moan about how bad the forums are and then end the month just shooting everything down. Try helping to get something new done and maybe folks will take you more seriously.
Rican is against me = I really don't care...
Plato is against me = kinda care, cause he is the boss 🙂
I don't moan, but your "leaders" always brag as how they made Switzerland so great, when in fact they didn't really do anything special for Switzerland ( bad or wrong ). Just do your job, don't make yourself fake heroes.
Got it now?
My leaders? I don't follow how they are my leaders, my leader is the president, whomever that may be at the time and the head MoHA.
And my friend, you do moan. When was the last time you brought something to the congress that wasn't an attack on the SNA or Dan? I don't recall a single time in which you've tried to do anything but, and that kind of obsession is detrimental to Switzerland. You can fight it, but the way you go about it is unreasonable. Try a new angle and maybe folks will listen.
I'm not looking to do anything special. I'm looking to keep the country moving and growing, if that calls for some 'special' action, I'll do it, but I don't think I'll need to and I don't think anyone will call me a hero, after this. I've made the decision to make a stand and get this country moving once more, and that will likely end any chance of me winning the presidency or winning the election for head of congress in the future, but that is the price I'm willing to pay for this country.
So no my friend, I do not "got it". You make me out to be on a side of a war, make no mistake my friend, I have no side. I have no camp, I only have those that will choose to follow me. No one is safe to spout bullshit and waste our time in congress. Not you, not Rican, not anyone.
What Congress? We were erased most of the time, as Rican wished. You don't have how to know this things, because some only come back to Switzerland when things tend to go a little bit better.
I fought for Switzerland on the battlefield.
I fought for Switzerland on ATO actions in the past.
You say here "I'm not looking to do anything special" and in another article you say "Switzerland, A New Era". WTFashion?!
A new era doesn't have to be the actions of one man, rather I need everyone we can get. One man can't fix a country.
That's the way to Sat it drew.Drew run for President shake th tree Hard and let it all fall out.Either Switzerland should become something lime it is or Switzerland stands up to all with head held high and play the cards we are given if that means defeat and we gave all I can accept that but whitetail tucking ads licking thing is not a country I want

Then do it! Unite! But end this ridiculous time of moving nowhere. I really don't mind what camp wins, as long as we start moving forward.
Ok so here is an idea you guys might like sell Switzerland for x then band to gather I another place and take it back but you would need to sell for like a million or so gold then everyone gets stronger on the gold to raise and conquer lol lol I do crack myself up
That unfortunately is not the first time I've heard that idea, and the others were much more serious. I think the idea behind the SNA commune is to build some sort of infrastructure. Yes, we can just buy weapons, but it doesn't foster unity in the unit. Working together may not seem like much, but it is another bit for player retention.
Ok so I am a chef if I have a restaurant like this you fire the staff shut the doors and move to the next town
