This has the potential to be one of those articles.

Very sensible

wow the stats are amazing

That's his only job.

Good to see that whilst TRS congress members engage in the day to day debate, TUP members just turn up and vote for whatever Keith wants.

Absolutely not true, Charles. At least, not me.

What a joke from a member of the TRSheep party who always toe the party line.. also when you were in TUP how many times did I tell you how to vote?

For the record, Charles, I have been a member of TUP for over 2 years (since my return to eRep) and have not had even one occasion where my vote on anything was "ordered" by Keith. It's always a free vote, whatever the issue.

why lie ? you know yourself keith never tells anyone how to vote

I didn’t say he told you all how to vote. I said you all vote for whatever he wants

my mistake

This meta-Congress is dead as TRSheep failed to respect it and do their own thing.
The members of the democratic parties seen to have effectively if not actually boycotted it.

No one cares or respects what it decides as we have been told many times by TRSheep party members .. it is meta and in game they can do stuff whatever the consequences.

You've made your feelings clear about that, but no one is sure why you feel that way. Hopefully you can discuss it more civilly in the coming weeks

I condemn meaningless partisanship conflicts. I don't like when my party comrades accuse you and TUP party without solid arguments and evidence. And I don't like when you accuse TRS party as "undemocratic' and dream about some kind of TRS-conspiracy. I think the meta-Congress failed because of this meaningless party conflicts and you're one of the guilty ones for this

You started it you invaded Poland! Ever since the TRS was set up it accused all the other parties of being anti UK and that we were the elite that needed kicking out .. So this party was set up as divisive in the first place. Also trolling everyone else and dog piling etc., importing trolls (who then ended up being bullied out of the game).. oh and getting old hacks to pretend to be new, if you know what I mean 🙂

I don't think the terms anti UK have been used by anyone but yourself. TRS focuses on activity and community - the myth of dogpiling and importing votes has just been perpetuated by those who haven't liked our ethos because it challenges how they want to play the game. The irony ofc being I think anyone should play the game how they please.

The norther Ireland shambles and your TRS import tax (a vote which it seems hardly anyone was aware of. You also failed to declare an interest

Honestly, this is boring at this point. If you care so much about NI and the import tax do something about it. You are part of a coalition of partys that control Congress and government, yet you're still out here moaning about TRSheeple traitors like they are pulling all the strings. It's like the Torys blaming everything on Labour.

The government could have easily just invited another country to occupy NI and nothing would have changed. Or wingfield could have used the NI situation in a positive way, but instead, he decided to call a large portion of the UK traitors and disappear from public view.

The only shambles here is yours and the government's response.

Your party ignored congress were proud of it and acted without any regard for the consequences. You are like the bankers blaming the nurses for the 2008 crash... utterly shameful and you wonder why no other party wants to work with you!

You really need to differentiate between 'people in a party' and 'the party'. For example, I don't think everyone in TUP holds your point of view, possibly anyone.

Regardless, what are you going to do about it? Everything you claim is utterly shameful can be reversed by your coalition. Get on it.

How many more times do you have to be told that starting RW's is not, and never has been, the purview of Congress. Which even members of the Government have since confirmed.

The import tax was discussed. There was a post about it on the feed. If people were not aware of it, it was because the messages were buried by your constant complaining and insulting that was going on at the time.

And declare an interest? The majority of people selling houses in the eUK market are non-TRS members. None of you "declared your interest" either. Probably because that's never been a requirement.

This is exactly why TRSheep are held in contempt they justify a reckless and major change in foreign policy as nothing to do with congress even though it was decided by congress ages ago. Well import taxes and citizenship are also then not decided by congress in that case and I will be happy to ignore it just like TRS did! Looks like most congress members did not know about the tax vote as you can see in your biased speaker's report (who is one of the few that benefit from this)

TUPeepee

RW's are not in Congress purview. Government could have ordered people to lose the battle, therefore maintaining their policy.

From what I can see, there are more TUP members who would benefit from the import tax change.

Again, it was discussed. The feed was there. It was raised in the thread. Congress members had every chance to discuss it - 3 chances thanks to you. Their decision not to.


Also Citizenships require a Congress member to approve. So yes, they are within Congress' purview. As are taxes, which require Congress to vote in-game.

So you ignore congress whenever you like? The RW affected a policy approved by congress. If you are not going to respect congress on TW then why should anyone take any notice on citizenship or taxes I certainly will not. Take a leaf out of the TRSheep book and only bother with congress when it souts

TUPeepee

Because RW's are not in the purview of Congress. Citizenships and taxes are.

It's not a difficult concept to get. Plato gives every citizen the right to start a RW. It has nothing to do with Congress.

Also there was no policy that was approved by Congress regarding NI in the first place. The entire reason people decided to do it was because no discussion was happening.

Less than 20% of TRS members were involved. Not TRS as a whole. That's also not a difficult concept to get, although you constantly struggle with it.

Do you ever get tired of being so negative?

Do you? You are even proud of it!

The only thing I’m proud of is liberating Northern Ireland

You need to bring more positivity into your life Keith it’s not healthy

Again TRSheep proud of putting the eUK in jeopardy and ignoring congress. Well it looks like most of the democratic party members are ignoring your congress with your TRS block vote. Franky you are one of the most negative nasty people on here and you know why!!

“In jeopardy”?
What jeopardy. Literally nothings changed

I’m gonna end the conversation here Keith. You’re delusional. All this shows is calm and collected responses and nasty replies from you

Jeopardy? Lmao. It took one conversation for the Government to "fix" it. Could've always just said "some rogue elements did it, we'll set our orders for eUK to lose".

Now folk can see why I have blocked this troll 🙂

Keith I don't see anyone TRS attacking you first tho, you are a salty old man.

This ain't gonna fly if I get in congress, respect is earned.

I have had plenty of attacks from them, some TRS folk are noy very nice.

i see the participation in all votes was about half and under. In some parties it was very low or non.
I left the message thread because all this was too much and very boring and very uninteresting.
I hope that in the new term I get to be in the new message thread and I hope to last more days in receiving the many messages written in it.
The figures show the trends and how boring this procedure is. The figures also show that people use there time in the game for other things and do not want to spend it arguing about issues that only cause stress and DONATION VOTES that HAVE THE PURPOSE of dividing the congress members and causing stur ups in the parties.

The easy solution to this is just to abolish the congress message thread and do all discussion on the national feed where people can actually see it

And perhaps people would be more inclined to behave better if their words are on show for all

great article, look forward to you or Addaway being back as Speaker in jan

I do agree with the statistics to a certain point but.. shouldn't the Spearker be impartial all the time ? When you are showing percentage of votes/debates/etc. it's like you are comparing different parties that are part of the House(Congress); this only creates tension in between the politcal parties.

From a reader's view I see "TRS are voting, the rest don't"

Let's see the difference between the below sentences:
1) 90% WRP members voted YES to accept GEORGE as their Speaker
2) 10% of Congress voted YES to accept GEORGE as their Speaker

Understandable, TRS has the majority and cannot be denied - but it should say what Congress decided, not what a certain party voted from a total of debate participants, vote participants and ..oh well, cannot be asked to write 'participants' one more time.

Also, this paragraph below points out the same thing again and again and again, THERE SHOULD BE NO such thing as Speaker in eRepublik:

"Sadly there have been focussed attempts to disrupt Congress over the back half of the term but this does not appear to have had a big impact on engagement, albeit it has restricted the range of topics discussed since the previous report. Options on Northern Ireland and the Government’s breakdowns of Ministry activities appear to have fallen by the wayside in the face of Keith’s ping-ponging of tax proposals and Humphrey’s affinity for speaker elections. "


Anyway,

o7

I get where you’re coming from, so you share the same criticism of Keith’s Congress round up which lists the party performance also?
I imagine woldy followed a similar format to Keith’s recording of the in game votes

Keith's list and statistics are his personal information he recorded across the whole month; once you present 'official' records from 'Speaker of the House' you should take the responsability that comes with.

They’re both reporting information that should be public access given votes are held in the national feed. The in game cotes are recorded in game also.

The language of some of the other stuff could be more neutral, but the base reporting of the facts are simply facts on who voted. If people don’t like how their party looks, then do something to change it?

It only seems negative because the other parties contribution is low

(Stupid game - wrote a reply and it refreshed the page!)

It's still impartial as he's only presenting the pure facts, and alot of this is already public information anyway as votes are mostly done on the eUK feed.

It's a good point though.


Also the percentages are based on total party members, not participants or Congressman. So it would actually be more like the 90% in your example.

So an apolitical representative is actually keeping a record of how the House representatives are voting/debating .. but at the same time he is being part of a party that has the majority votes in Congress.

The votes are public... the record is out there on the eUK feed, he's just compiling the information.
