Something to think about this CP election.
Icetek
First, unlike my opponents i DO NOT ask my 1634 friends on FEEDS to vote my CP articles.
Rusty D has spammed the feed now 2x while i wrote this article. He wants to make everyone in eAUS believe that people in eAUS vote his articles. Come up with your own conclusion......
I believe eAustralian elections are for eAustralian citizens and should not be involving outside parties. I believe this is a lame attempt to distort the true feelings of eAustralian citizens, and i hope future CP runner ups will avoid doing this. We barely have more then 5 articles at a time, so i suspect my opponents will say "its to get there article exposure" which is bs.
Rusty D is also running for CP on a diffrent game similar to this one.
This means his focus will not be 100% on eRepublik - FYI he was 1st CP on that game too for Australia.
Also keep in mind this.
Rusty D has been CP 5 times. He has joined the game January 2016.
Runs the #1 MU in Australia on that game.
Holds constant political titles.
And Australia on that game is in ruins. Only holds 2 territory's as its being wiped by Indonesia.
And this is the guy you want running your country here??? He has been CP 5 months since January. 5 times out of 11 months! And he is suppose to be some Foreign Affairs genius.
Be smart guys. You have been here for a while to know what works and does not. My Policy's came out 20 days ago practically and notice the resemblance between mine and theirs.
***They have not even mentioned cabinet members. They are both unprepared, i have been talking to alliance among other countries already to figure out a plan for us. Rusty D spends his time inflaming my articles with comments. ***
Facts are facts! Watch personal facts come flying now. As they say in politics, your entitled to your opinion, but not your own facts.
I Icetek approve this message.

People like Rusty D have no long term vision. His approach to CP is alliance will fix everything. Which is FALSE. His approach is a short term fix, yes he might get rid of ePERU but then what? Another country will come along and back to square one.
My CP run is based on a long term fix, we get numbers, and we can prevent from being bullied. Getting rid of ePERU will solve nothing unless we can actually defend ourself.
And yes that is the same Rusty D, keep in mind his profile, IRC: RustyD-Office, sound familiar?
Interesting times in eAus... shifted to Adriatica, Peru in for a visit, Icey v Rusty. Crikey.
I, meanwhile, am drinking rum, smoking the world's finest cigars, and eyeing up the hotties...
Ahhhhhh... 😃
Only way to play this game without going mental like the "rest" of them. Drunkenness is the cure to this game lol
It's certainly one of them. 🙂
Can we expect you back in eAUS if i win? 😃
Hmm...
That's good enough for me
Yeah...
Peru is being a bunch of twits.
Adriatica is willing to work with us. All the old friends basically told us to suck it up and enjoy Hungary's occupation.
Didnt Cuba also refuse to let us borrow one region for congress?
Cuba always helps its allies.
you forgot about dodgy 🙁
Sorry, didn't realise there were 3 candidates! Rusty, Dodgy, and Icey- what a slate! GL, guys. 🙂
You live in USA by any chance Icetek?
I moved to Sydney, Australia around 5 years ago from the USA. Still testing the waters here...too many sharks tho 😛
Why do you ask that Kat?
Just registered he talks a lot like one ;P
And exactly how do we talk?
Lany if i may say something. Me being american i would see it more.
Ok, British people have a very....rude and sarcastic sense of humor when they talk. They are funny, but can be mistaken as insulting to anyone who does not know this about them.
Aussies, being that they have a British history are not as aggressively sarcastic as Brits, but are like in between being of smart ass/sarcastic but also know when to talk "normal".
Now that being said, your politicians are just a mystery to me till this day. No offense but watching politicians talk shit about one another and debate is like a bad trip on acid for me.
Icetek, I'm American.
Ohh my bad....lol yea then....Katt how DO WE TALK!
Good thyng I ain't no amerrekan, i's frum da Ozark hills!
I live in upstate NY but I don't have that New Joisey accent.
Loud opinioniated and believe only their way is right 😉
In other words, strong characters of a leader.
But seriously folks! For me it's standard practice to spam friends, party and MU feeds + any local group PM. I guess I'm just too stupid to worry about apperances. I just want people to read what I wrote.
As far as the other stuff I would say we are all idiots compared to you Master Icetek, we need you to train us.
I did not say ALL articles Dill, dont put words in my mouth. Government stuff should not be entertainment to foreigners. In real life, North Korea is the only country that brags about its politics. 99% of voters voted for Kim Jung II because he is a God. Ring a bell? They blast that out to the world.
Most foreign affairs people, RL and here, read what's going on in other countries. A long time ago in eRep ambassadors were important to MoFA as they read articles and interacted on that country's irc and forum. The information was condensed, then passed on to MoFA.
With player base greatly reduced and eRep's version of FB available this is how FA communicates today.
But what do I know, all this is new to me. I've never done anything before.
Any gov member of a foreign nation worth their salt reads other nations media.
You publish it its viewing for anyone in erep including our enemies.
Show me 1 article where a country in real life that brags about its candidates and wants endorsements from other countries....
Please go on, this is the topic at hand after all that you started. Why now flip it too FA stuff?
Once again your missing the bigger picture tho, blasting policy articles for votes to foreigners, makes 2 clickers think the one with most votes MUST be right without reading the article. Hence, making it a unfair election.
But i guess once corrupted, all is fair game ey? Morals and dignity are not out the window just because we are online. Some of you need to step away from the computer and do some really deep soul searching. How can you guys be so ugly inside and not give a F@k is beyond me.
*270 friends vs 1637 friends
I don't have that many compared to you friend 😉
Not to mention, my article didn't get much votes from my friends list and he post didn't rack up nearly any comments or likes.
You see Dodgy, to stir up shit and confuse people it's not necessary to have your facts straight, just say scary stuff and people will suck it up.
Wow.... and you say in other comments that I really need to see a doctor as I might have mental issues... I do believe this clip explains what just happened here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6WHBO_Qc-Q
While i know you will accuse me of trolling you, but I would like to be able to respond. I am not going to bother doing an article, as well I am sure the Australian citizens dont need to see articles like this.
I will also try and respond to the 'other game' things in a separate comment since I know it is against the eRep laws for external advertising. I also really hope this article stays here, because it shows a lot about the person you are and what it would be like for you to be CP. You write a rage article because I shouted my CP policy paper... I would hate to see your reaction when your dealing with other nations.
But now to respond to your lovely Pulitzer piece of journalism:
- I only have 1443 friends on my friends list and I am guessing quite a few of them a 'dead'. Maybe if you clicked the friends you would of seen that.
- Shouting my articles?? I always shout my articles, it is so people can read them, both here and abroad. It is a CP race as well, many of people in my friends list are in government roles or old players. From past experience they are all ways the first port of call when we need assistance, so it is beneficial for them to know where I stand and what my policies are for our nation. But that leads back to FA work, which we know you dont believe in.
- Making people believe that Australians are voting my articles? I do believe our citizens are smarter then that. They realise that anyone in this game can view and vote for an article. And it is not involving outside parties as they can not vote in the eAustralian elections.
Now for the other half of your article (I love how you start by saying it might look like your trying to bash other candidates, but your not...). I have to word this carefully, so I can respond with out being reported for breaching the eRep laws of external advertisement....
- Yes, I play other games then eRep. I also play games on my tablet, PS etc etc. I am sure many people here play other games.
- Am I endorsed to run for CP in that game, yes. The current CP endorsed me.
- 100% focus not on eAustralia? As you state I have played that game since Jan 2016, During that time I was elected CP here in eRep 3 times, did it effect my focus? No. Many people who play this game, play the other one, their focus is fine and it actually helps build up relations.
- 100% focus not on eAustralia? So to be CP of eAustralia you need to be on 24/7? I mean people work, they have lives, they have families, travel etc, but none of that has ever hindered anyone before. That is why people select a cabinet and congress do votes.
- 1st CP? No I wasnt, I was first PM, not CP. Please fact check. Just like this game, the title is CP, then PM below them.
- 5x CP in that game.... unsure what bearing that has to do with the price of eggs in eRep...?
- Runs the MU? Yes, I was asked by the first CP to start the MU. Still unsure where that effects eRep...?
- Holds titles? Yes... the active community in that group number less then 10. And like in eRep, your appointed titles, you cant quit that appointment, it is not like congress.
- Australia is ruins? Dude, do you know the history in that game. With a small community of 10 people, we are working with Indo who protects us... from guess who... Peru 😃 Oh, yes Peruvians in eRep, play that game as well.
- CP there and Running it here? The games are 'same, same, but different'. Different sized communities, different games, different geo-political alliances. For my history in eRep, look at eRep.
cont...
cont...
- Your policies came out 20 days ago, yet in the comment section (on one of your articles) you even said they have changed.
- Not mentioned cabinet members? Yes, until I am elected I wont say who they are. The country is voting for the policies, not the people. Remember you even said it "It is not a popularity contest". And your latest article, you even say your having disagreements with your cabinet and your not even elected yet...
- Unprepared? No. Prepared, otherwise I would not be running.
- Talking to other nations? Well, I tend to wait until I am elected before discussing in detail with other elections, I wouldnt want to be accused of running a shadow government or PTOing a country by taking control of the CP org and doing deals while unelected. Or worse still involving outside parties in our election.... like you dont do believe in "I believe eAustralian elections are for eAustralian citizens and should not be involving outside parties.", can anyone say hypocrisy?
- Inflamming your articles with comments? I simply ask questions. But if you want I can write whole media articles that apparently are 'flamming' 😉 I could use the word hypocrisy again here...
Yep you dont comment in my articles:
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/cp-nomination-2618371/1/20
And neither do your friends, who would never comment on your behalf 😉
All that typing and you answered nothing lol.
Can you read? or are your blinkers still on?
There are answers everywhere in that comment. I even laid it out nicely for you.
Icetek was vCP and I see nothing wrong in the fact he held CP's newspaper and publishing article from there while our CP left his post.
Icetek performed his duty as vCP and we need to have always active people on this position ready to step in when needed.
J when he started publishing the articles he was MoFA.
To be completely fair and honest I think 99% of people who write articles shout them in their feeds. I must admit, I am guilty of this. But then again, so are most people.
Well i guess im the 1% then who does not get friends involved with politics. Otherwise i am no better then the "elites" who get ahead based on popularity.
Does not get friends involved with politics? Then who fed you all this info on Rusty in another game? Because if your not playing it, clearly a friend of yours is, and clearly that friend is involved in your politics.
Came from a person who is not in eAUS. And i doubt you can even call us friends since we don't speak that often at all.
it doesn't give you any moral advantage
Be careful Joshua. Next he will accuse you of voting your own artivles!
(Dont tell him about voters club! lol)
Joshua has already shouted a CP article for someone in Norway... so he has already broken the number 1 rule. And he is on my friends list, so that must make him one of my puppets.
He broke the pickle rule. We only run for CP at the s me time. 😃
lol how was i not supersized they will go straight to ass kissing. like little girls, everyone has to know the our problems ey ladies.
