eIreland CP | Christmas Update

Day 4,418, 18:15 Published in Ireland United Kingdom by Rusty D


Festive Greetings eIreland,

I had planned on doing a range of light entertaining articles to talk about recent events, but the list kept growing and growing. So rather then make it all about creative writing, I thought I would just cut to the chase and get after it with a big update.



Military Operations


The past few days has seen the Irish Military swing into action. First of all we started a TW with Albania, then launched a military strike against the UK and currently we have an AS proposal in front of congress. This, as well as on-going TW with Finland has ensured our fighters stay active with a good mix of Real War and Training Wars.

TW with Finland Our TW with Finland continues along the same format, they win the direct, we win the RW's. The Fin's have played their part in this TW quite well lately and recently returned taxes gained from their activities in our regions. The only downside to this TW is the determination level is increasing, but with this in our minds, for now we are continuing with the TW.

TW with Albania Our TW with Albania has kicked off and they are slowly making their way into the Training Ground regions. This TW will work in the same sense as the Finnish one, that they win directs, we win the RW's. So far the Albanians are currently hitting our newly acquired region in Wales. They are to win this.

DoW against UK With our short lived war against the UK, there has been quite a sh!t storm going on about it. I will be doing a separate article to answer the questions raised by a number of quarters about the war. So for now this will be a brief overview of the events an actions. eIreland proposed a DoW on the UK in the aim of obtaining NI, the perfect start to Christmas. however with this avenue blocked by the Finnish attack on NI, Ireland was left with only Wales to head too (or propose a new law and AS their cores... energy was deposited for this). The fighting was fierce at the start, but Ireland ended up easily winning and took control of Wales. From all reports the UK were happy to have some battles where they could tank in, considering they are just playing lapdogs to their overlords at the moment.

AS on Netherlands Many by now would of seen the AS proposal law. This has come about by two main things, 1. a request from CODE and 2. a chance to have a real war, since the UK one was shot down by CODE..... Currently I have asked congress to hold their votes on this law, so watch this space, but be ready. Worst case, we vote 'No' and the AS budget goes to another target, maybe the UK cores or Caribbean holiday, better case, we vote 'Yes' and head of to see some of my old friends in the Netherlands.



Scammer Alert


It was brought to my attention an Irish Congress member (they have now stepped down from congress) was scamming fellow eRep citizens. I personally think this is a dog act, hence raising it in the CP paper. As someone who takes pride in his word and honour, to see others stoop down to the level of a worm and rip others off, sorta pisses me off. So hence why I am letting the public know:

Dr Neo Cortex is a Scammer. Link id. https://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/8501119

One of his victims of his scam has had 50% of his money refunded by me, that is how seriously I take the issue of worms screwing people over. Mate, all I can say is your a dog and that scamming is a dog act.


Christmas Giveaways


Well eIreland, I hope you have had great Christmas and manage to spend it with your families. As you might of been made aware, a few days ago, I did a shout in the shout box with one of our Christmas giveaways. This was a single prize of a pack awarded to a random person.



Dante Boss was the winner and scored a free pack. I will try and do another Christmas giveaway before the end of my term.



Dáil Éireann


Not much more to add in here for this, but a new congress message thread will be started at Day Change, to include all new members of the new eIrish Congress.

We hope they represent their citizens to the best of their abilities and vote accordingly.



Well that is me for now, but I will try and have the Air Program released later today as well. It has been hectic Chrissie and I hope everyone has enjoyed it.
