Congress Activity Report
Big Sexy Black Man
Hello everybody,
During WHS' term 29 members of the congress communicated amongst themselves through a large PM conversation. In this conversation congress elected Ronisu as the CC, we discussed (with very little debate) issues such as the tax changes, various MPPs & the use of a forum. During the term the number of messages in this conversation totaled at 139 (although it is still active by a few members). I would like to break this number down so we can look at the activity of each congress member. So let us begin
Firstly, those that did not post at all are:
John Gormley, Irish Freedom Party
Bhane, Irish Union Party
k1k1vu93, Irish Progression Party
marko6669999, Irish Progression Party
Pitliha666, Irish Progression Party
Schumaher, Irish Progression Party
Maximus1950, Irish Progression Party

Personal Analyse
The graph says it all, of the top 3 political parties in Ireland, the smallest contended strongly to talk the most and the biggest talked the least. Despite housing a huge chunk of the Irish voters the IPP is the worst represented party in the country. With the most inactive TDs (all of which do not have English as a first language) coming from the IPP I think, come the next elections, the Irish voters and would-be serious IPP congressmen and women should reassess their stance.
To go one further I think we, as a community, should consider shutting the door on Croat immigrants for the time being. Minorities voting in their own candidates (who don't even have the decency to fake an interest in political Irish affairs) is quite frankly irritating.

Well with the 30 person limit it does kind of divide the conversation.
Wonders if the post total of the CP during that term could be added 🙂
Great work Dan, if you don't mind me borrowing your idea, I'll include this kind of thing in my upcoming Congressional Review project. It'll be nice to give outsiders some idea of who is active in Congress and what is going on.
How many of the posts were useful?
@Grainne in my honest opinion I'd say 1 and that was Sweet proposing the new taxes.
Good job CT, not sure if this is a troll or you are tring to improrve things, maybe a bit of both. A long time ago Dash used to do this every month when he was CC. Below is a link to one of his articles. The activity was a lot higher then.

Not a troll moo I remember my first term in Congress and Paschoall tracked everybodys activity. Used to also annoy me how people would promise to be active but as soon as they got their 5g and medal they'd disappear.
I love how you have added the graph!! Speaks volumes.
@Grainne - my posts were primarily about upcoming MPP's to watch for and I also posted between the 2 congress groups to keep each in the loop.
See? I told you graphs = good .
btw, decadence is so much better than decency.lol. Finally, a fantastic grammatical error. You are so full of win today, Mr Breen.
That was auto-corrects fault, got like 3 hours sleep so go easy plz
Ah bollox in the graph change votes to posts plz
A nice analysis o7
You seem to have become a fag overnight Dan. Dafuq is this constructive, non troll article doing with your name on it? Bender!
Ireland isn't worth the troll anymore haugh, there's literally like 8 of us left that are real life irish. The rest are a bunch of medal hungry foreigners (mainly Croats). Imma try get into UK for a while and fight Canada.
Shame Dan, but you're right.No one understands your trolling in eIreland, because of language issues. Either you learn Croatian or leave this place 😞
I both understand and appreciate you.
"The rest are a bunch of medal hungry foreigners (mainly Croats)."
HEY! I resent that. I'm an American medal hungry foreigner. The worst kind. A Californian. Get that straight you 8 bastards.
[removed]
Lol Yddub. We American foreigners have to stick together or those 8 might get uppity.
i guess fields of athenrye in eworld version would be against croats 🙂
Dan is increasingly becoming the man. Right. Duck this I've decided. Dan, you will run for CP next term. In short, it will go down in history as the most entertaining ever. But only on the basis that entertaining doesn't necessarily mean good.......
Actually, that sounded mean. Entertaining > Good
@Malbekh to quote the wiki on my term as CP
"CelticTiger211 would be discussed as a possible candidate for "best Irish CP ever"...CelticTiger211 had turned out to be just what Ireland had needed. He had brought the right ideas, and had actually been able to force them into completion. Now Ireland was looking forward, hoping for a future CP who could continue the recovery that CelticTiger211 had solidified."
-Founded IA
-Built a wall around Shannon (unwipable)
-35g a month
Also robbed like 5-8k iep
Loose change. If you run I'll subvent it.
If I could secure the backing of the IPP would you get the IFP to endorse me?
You might need to talk to iBhoy, he's currently running for PP..
Well I'm sure you could "persuade" Bootcamp to vote for me 🙂
Yeah Mal. And I might be able to get ICA to vote for Dan. Might be a hard sell. Maybe not. I'll be voting for him unless Ethel runs.
I have said my peace about taxes and government spending many times. With the PMs flying at such a fast rate, it did not seem necessary for me to add to the confusion. The people of influence know my thoughts on the matter.
I certainly hope you weren't calling out the "did not post" as though there was some sort of shortcoming for not adding to that particular group PM. It was only one of many recent mass mail discussions recently.
If # of posts is the measure of a good TD, I can certainly pad those numbers to satisfy your needs. It would be easy to put in a bunch of non-commital posts that add nothing to the discourse.
quality > quantity
I agree Bhane but 0 posts isnt acceptable
told ya, that thread is to much unorganized
Oh, thanks for excluding me from the first PM, but adding me in the second ... 🙂
@Dan Breen, you're right ... I did this baaaaack in the day when I was CC (for the second time I think).
Although number of posts don't really measure quality, it's very good indicator I think!
good job o7
