(Updated) Immediate things to do/thoughts

Day 3,255, 19:11 Published in Australia Australia by Ranger Bob
I have left my previous commentary untouched below.

So, downshot for folks info appears to be there was an internal fight between the CP and some congress or other notable peeps on how to fight peru and whether to be wiped or not. In the end, BDR cracked the poops, which led to him leaving. He handed over the Aus orgs to icetek and appointed him PM in game.

Others didn't like (note - I am not commenting on any merits of this either way or arguments to and fro about who is and isn't elected) and some form of congress vote was discussed. Again, not commenting on merit, but downshot appears to be a number of peeps are now planning a dictatorship.

This has been messy, not clear and played out poorly by and for all sides. I will note that in my view the only victim in all this is the people who saw this play out in articles, with to-ing and fro-ing on attacks, disagreements and the like.

Final update - if a political party will have me, I want to run for congress this term. What I can promise the people from this run is i will report regularly what is going on (I mean, ACTUALLY going on), won't bullshit you, and I have a view that fighting aside it will be activity and growing our population that's important. I've already commented previously I want to see funds freed up for new ways to get military structured to promote people being a part of something bigger, and I will come up with other ideas as well should you give me a chance.

APOLOGIES FOR PUTTING THIS IN HERE - I didn't want to run two articles simultaneously.

If a party would be happy for my to join and form part of their ticket this month please let me know.



Been reading, and gotta say this is all a bit confusing right now.

1. Someone might have hacked BDRs account - sure. But, he wouldn't have gotten the passwords to Aus orgs. So, I am assuming BDR gave them to him (icetek). However, BDR you need to change your password, confirm you are indeed in control of your account, and if so, make sure no more stupid proposals are proposed.

(And please, confirm you have quit so at least the public can see that).

2. Icetek or whomever - this country needs transition to some leadership (I am also assuming BDR is giving it up - given his PMS to me in recent days it is plausible) and this needs to occur now.

3. Personally, I don't mind icetek doing it as he appears active and I don't accept just because someone a year ago was a certain way means they are now. I also AND VERY POINTEDLY want to state that regardless of how, I do not think icetek is out to screw eAus, or, even when there was trolling going on (and I see as much of it from both sides as each other), that he hates eAus. Just like I don't think Binda, XG or others were either. How they approach things may be different, but they don't want to screw the country.

4. Congress is a moot point in as much as I rarely see much from them. They haven't appeared to stand up, put forward any ideas themselves, or, deal with the current situation. Where the F**k are you people?! Do you even care? Either act, or shaddup, and let at least one person who IS, lead.

5. EAus may or may not be a "laughing stock". The reality is, other countries are not immune from this bullshit (Ray gun Reagan, need I go,on?) it's just for some reason, in eAus, we have more than our fair share of people who appear to have learned communication via home and away and neighbours. Oh, the drama! What is sad about this entire scenario, is even when significant shit goes down, energy seems to be more,on infighting than what next. Respectfully, wake up and nut up.

I would suggest that, if BDR has quit, or, if you are quitting then immediate action is needed.

Even if Icetek has been given the keys to the kingdom, as I understand mechanics CP then defaults to the top ranked player in eAus (in case of an impeachment with no second elected player). If I am correct, this means it would default to AussieCRO. This is how it worked in the past, works in other elections like PP where a party president quits, and is consistent with description of mechanics in game.

Note - a country president has the right to contact admin and ask all passwords to orgs gov controls be reset.

The alternate option, is for congress/people to support a dictator to take over. I don't like this option as I've posted concerns with it before.

Anyway, enough of this crap. My personal support will be, in the absence of anyone apparently doing ANYTHING outside of icetek, that he take the role. By god, he cannot do more harm than others have recently.

That is all.
