ok afew things 2 start with.

1. thanks to all the voters that made my last artical the most voted in all of Straya! (especially to my loyal fanbase, now numbering 16 subscribers!)

2. anyone who doesnt like my spelling/gramer/puncuation. i'll try type slower but i type what i think and i think super awesomly fast. however, if you dont like it, dont read it, im quite happy to have one less reader who doesnt want to sit though my bad spelling. (on a side note, putting a "Z" instead of a "S" is considred cool by somez!)

3. A Special mention to Lani and Callumh123 for the supplies (espically food) when I was fighting in the Northern territory! thanks for the help superstars!

ok now for the artical:

I have noticed that there seem to be 3 generations of people in Straya that i have found.
there are people that are steping up now ofering there ability in leadership presently. they have passed where I am now, and learnt lots from others and come up with what they stand for and how they want to get things done themselvs. they are like the adults of this game. where i am still learning and taking in so much, there is always something hapening that i dont quite understand or didnt know existed.
but there is another generation stil, they are like the grandparents! itz like they have been there, seen it, and can pass on what they know. what i would love to see is them come out with there biggest misstakes and what they would have done diferent if they had there time again!
Some of you have shared some of this with me allready, but if this was available it would be such a reasorse to our children generation!
This takes humility and honesty, something some Aussies struggle with, but we are more awesome! We will prevail! We will be the best!

Lastly, a shout out to my main man Zavier! Thanks for your help geting me hooked to this game! all the best in stepping down off the throne into whateverz next!

Dear Tim Holtz or Mr Crumpets: lets get this done!!!!! make this the best season ever in our history! make it one for the generations to talk about! im up for it, keen and willing! bring the awesomeness!

MATERS!

ok well my biggest mistake is letting the Australian Military Party get that large that it dominated politics here for the best part of 8 months. No single party should be that powerful that it controls Senate and CP seats for that amount of time.

My biggest mistake was offering eRepublik Alliance (Currently the GnG) to the Indo PTOers in April/May 2010 when i was only 3 months old because i was angry at the CP at the time. Probably the worst thing for me to do.

Aka, Think before you do. It could come back and bite you on the ass.

lol larni, didnt you get the memo that spining a what are you bad at question around to make yourself look good doesnt actually make you look good...

on topic though, about 2 years ago i told argentina to shove the falklands up their arse which may have been why they havent liked us for the past 2 years >.>

If you type slower it means we get to read faster, right? 😉

T.O You make my one eye cry Daeny. AMP was controlled by a 3rd force. Incapable of passing legislation, they served to neutralise ANP, leaving the door open for the small parties to actually run Australia.

Anyway -- biggest mistake. Tough one. Probably being too impatient during my 3rd CP term and running ahead of my team and Senate before they could all get on the same page. I forgot how distracting an antagonistic Speaker could be (having played the role myself previously against Cotus).
Lesson: What you do to others they can also do to you.

The policy mistake (more like naivety) was believing Argentina actually wanted friends. Took too long to realise they are too caught up in history, hatred and internal politics to see a world outside of Empire Argentina. Its the hubris of success, really. Lesson: Never snub the little guys. Everyone has some power even if you can't see it right now. You never know when they can save you.

Some may think it my military coup of Senate was a mistake... but it served to invigorate politics as everyone united against me. But again, fundamentally same real mistake.
Lesson: Breathe. Slow down. Trust people to eventually do the right thing. Ultimately we all care for Australia, just in our own way.

I'm still looking forward to my big mistake. Can't wait!

Sir Voldemort Day 1,905, 11:32

Vyrin, you missed the point that there is a middle generation of adults right now in the thick of the action, going full steam ahead, I was trying to get some of the generation prior to that to share with us so we didn't have to make the same mistakes. not everyone is going to be of that grandparant genaration.

I know - I was just saying I'm still part of the young generation and know I will goof up at some point.
