CHance.... In Office
Thomas Arashikage
My name is Chance Harrison and I am running again for Country President.
Our last CP decided to make an enemy of a nation I have no qualms with in Belgium. Thankfully most of them know that the rest of us mean no harm. Well, most of us. Granted we currently have a whole nation but that leaves a stain on this country that won't be soon forgotten.
Now the issue with the constant battle with UK is something I've changed my stance on. Earlier on in my time in eIreland I wanted nothing but the total destruction of the Brits. Well, I can't say as I've taken a liking to them but it's got to end sometime and during my term if re-elected I wish to make peace and end this seemly endless war. Now don't be fooled. I do have in my campaign goals that I wish to take their regions but only if we can't come to some sort of agreement. An eye for an eye you might say.
That being said...
I present to you my Cabinet.
Vice President: Columbia
She splits her time between eIreland and her RL country of Greece. She's done everything asked of her and she's a great person and asset to have in my Cabinet.
Ministry of Defence: MoD Seanan
DMoD
I will let Seanan fill this spot as of publishing this article I haven't found anyone to fill the role and I trust his judgement.
In the Ministry of Defence there were some problems last month with the supplies to the soldiers,that does not mean that this happened because someone did not care, but that just happened through RL issues of our citizens. The supplies must be shared every day equally to the soldiers and this will take place if we have more active squad leaders in the Ministry of Defence. Seanan has done a smashing job but his fellow MoD last term didn't see fit to help him in Seanan's RL absence.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Minister Fear Malice
DMoFA xNosferatux
DMoFA JohNandJoaN aka Conway
Fear Malice returns and is ready to do what's best for our e-Nation as well as help mentor his DMoFAs.
We will ask from the citizens that speak any foreign language to help us by being ambassadors in every country we can. By this we will be informed and on more of an even ground with other countries.
Ministry of Finance:Sweet Drinker
Here the things won't change a lot. Minister of Finance will take care of the Monetary Market and try to improve it or at least keep it in the way it is now. Taxes for the moment won't change
Ministry of Immigration:Irasian and Brent Wyrick
Here the Minister will use the Dail IRC channel for the government and congress members to discuss about the citizenships they give. No congressman could approve a CS without being consorting with the Minister. This has must be used more to avoid PTO's in our small country.
Ministry of Community:Anthony Colby and MikeBane
In other countries they call it Ministry of Press. Here we will support a Media Mogul Project so that more citizens of eIreland achieve the medal. Also anything else important in the government that has to be announced it will be announced through this Ministry.
Ministry of New Citizens: I also haven't found anyone to fill this position but rest assured upon election there will be someone doing the job even if it's myself.
Here is the most difficult part of the government. New players have to find something interesting in the game to stay and this ministry will give them this by supporting them, answering their questions, providing them food and many other things. Real life citizens of Ireland will be asked to help by helping us find Irish forums or games that we could invite more people to give more strength to this country. Additionally, the Minister will write articles for new players for first steps in the game and greet them and help nurture them. Perhaps he could create an e-school on an irc private chat that will inform the new players how to grow up, what is the history, what are EDEN, TERRA, ONE, etc....
All I ask is that you vote. Even if it's not for me. We can surely do better than what we have now.
For Éire!
Thank you in advance,
Chance Harrison

Chance for President!
...and FIRST!
not voted, not subsrcibed and flicked off. Jk
Voted from eROC 😁
"Real life citizens of Ireland will be asked to help by helping us find Irish forums or games"
Ohkay, boards.ie is the only Irish forum of note.
And Irish games? We have no game industry, we dont make games, I can't think of anything that could be considered an "Irish" game.
That was easy.
You'll have to forgive him Tibulus. He's one of those fucking Plastic Paddies.
@Tibulus: 'We dont make games'
Oh really? http://www.gamedevelopers.ie/
Good luck Chance
@ Ross
I meant actual full production games. Yes we have indie and flash game developers, who doesn't.
And so goes the infighting.... ::face palm::
Good luck Chance.
>And so goes the infighting
Says the guy who can't write a manifesto without having a go at the previous administration. Classy.
btw who is Pierce Vaughn? Some people in the eUS are telling me he knowingly accepted Pizza the Hut into the country. You shouted earlier for Irish congress to accept this guys Irish citizenship. We've had problems with PtH here ourselves in the past.
Columbia is known as the most lucky girl in erep! there is no fear with her on the presidents side!
@Tibulus
Acually, the game developers have helped make many popular games. Halo, fallout, halflife, etc.
Havok http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havok_(company)
@10.1.13.5.19
I'm well aware of Havok. Yet making a physics engine doesn't mean they make games. Putting Denny ham in my sandwich doesn't mean Denny made my sandwich.
PtH won't be here in Ireland. Pierce seems solid. As a candidate I'm allowed to talk about previous administration. Yes you're correct... I didn't mention any other names or feelings.
You mad?
no vote this time, sorry 🙁
lol @ the butthurt Chance returns to try to become president by calling the best administration /evurr/ bad. Oh well, I'll just have a laugh when the epic fail arrives.
Oh and by the way, protip: Seanan did the supplying last month. He's a sounds lad though.
hurrrdurrrr
voted for Columbia 😉
Voted
V for Columbia
I find it a bit dodgy that you call out for CS's for Columbia then she appears in your cabinet. No disrespect to her, but very fishy timing.
I also find it very dodgy that Pierces interview here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/pierce-vaughn-interview-1844930/1/20 makes it clear what happened, yet you and Ian E Coleman went ahead and allowed him in anyway.
"All I ask is that you vote. Even if it's not for me. We can surely do better than what we have now."
I hope that people vote too. I hope its not for you.
Lately, you show a blatant and repeated disregard for anything other than your own personal ego in your campaign.
As for doing better?
No.
I don't think you can do better than this term. Not at all.
Oh yeah, to continue our disagreement from your last article, I don't see your idea of a speechwriter appointed here. So what? You gonna do it yourself after all?
Might be time to get your e-head outta your e-a** and start to listen, Mr One-Way Broadcast.
@grainne ni mhaille with all the respect i had the irish cs before and changed only for a couple of days to help an ally with the ne bonus in their battles,everyone knows that,didn't you? 🙂
good luck! : ) If you are the best, then go and win ; ))
@Columbia -no, I didn't. I'm not in the IA. But thanks for the explanation.
"Everyone knows that" - hmmm, obviously not.
thats why i informed you,you said something without knowing first nor asking,no problem 🙂
http://www.erepublik.com/en/country/Greece/citizenship/applications/approved/239
as i said only for a couple of days,
Actually, forget that ranty post.
Having just realised that everyones cabinet is more or less the same, and that everyone wants to kiss Belgiums ass and makes friends with the eUK, I decided I dont give a toss who leads the teaparty this month.
Knock yerselves out.

Worst opening I have ever seen. Yea you can talk about whatever you like, but if what someone else did or did not do is the very first reason you can think of for people to vote for you rather than something you did/will do yourself, then sorry but you will not be getting my vote.
Results are what matters. And the administration you used to open your manifesto, achieved results. Last time you were President, Ireland spent 90% of the term wiped from the map. So no. I not mad. Umad. Urlymad.
btw, when Belgium and Ireland are at war, I'm on the fkn Irish side no matter what. When any other country and Ireland are at war, I'm on the fkn Irish side no matter what.
>UK attack Belgium
>Irish people do 20 million influence in 2 battles to help them
>UK attack Ireland, Belgium do nothing
>Belgium start to cosy up to the UK again, holds TWs with UK while UK at war with Ireland
>Belgium refuse TW with Ireland on the grounds that we already have a war with UK
>Ireland attack Belgium
>So called Irish people side with the opposing country
Ofc you're not in e-Ireland long enough to know any of this though, yet you seem to think you know it all. Tut-tut typical plastic paddy.
Btw having Columbia as VP would -almost- get you my vote.
Hopefully one of the other candidates can convince her to come on board.
irishboy i don't like to fight nor trolling nor anything else because i believe it is not worth it,everyone here wants the best for ireland besides what ever he/she believes and i will be glad to help anyone that asks for it.at the moment it is an honour for me that chance asked me to help him and also it is an honour for me helping you also.
Wholeheartedly supported! Good luck Chance!
"btw, when Belgium and Ireland are at war, I'm on the fkn Irish side no matter what. When any other country and Ireland are at war, I'm on the fkn Irish side no matter what." x2
@columbia. You seem like a nice lady, but you need to start educating yourself as to whats going on here, or you'll be forever stuck in the middle.
Read Chance's articles. See how he responds to questions.
Read the Belgium summary from Ibhoy.
You're eGreek, arent you? So you should know how it is when an eCommunity tears itself apart term after term. At least that experience should help you navigate through the sh*tstorm that is eIreland.
grainne i am familiar with the issues that happened but i agree with you that i have to be better informed a little more,that doesn't make me less sufficient on what i have to do this month if chance gets elected,everyone has done mistakes,we don't have to look back but forward,i can't imagine not even one candidate that won't try for the best
and yes i am greek rl but egreek in the past and i am a member of irish community for a couple of months now,i fight here,i work here,i talk to the people here and because i was vp twice in the past in greece and i ve been through familiar situations there i believe that fighting between us here for the past is no good
@ columbia
"those who forget the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat them"
We only argue over the past in the hope it isn't repeated. It's just another way of trying to make things better,
ok, ofc thats fair enough. I'm not doubting your capabilities. Neither am I doubting that in-fighting is no good, as you say you have been in eIreland for a few months you should know my stance on this too.
What's best for eIreland? Well, letting in people like Pierce isn't. Ignoring the population when you are CP isn't. Fighting against eIreland isn't.
But I'm sure you know that too.
Good luck.
Columbia, you will do a fine job no matter what position you take, of that I have no doubt.
However, I am not fighting about the past. I am a voter and nothing more this time round. I want to know why I should vote for a candidate. I don't want to hear candidates bad mouthing previous administrations.
mistaken of the past are past and won't have to be repeated in the future
my personal opinion is that a voter will vote someone that trusts,someone who's schedule satisfies him and that he has experience on politics
Ok, columbia, so help me out with the trust thing, will you?
1.)WHY was Pierce allowed in, did your CP discuss that with you, as his VP, and the possible ramifications? Are you aware of the PtH thing? Do you think that was a cool move?
2.)WHY does CH think there is no need to communicate with the eIrish during his presidential term, and what, if anything, will change this time around?
3.)WHY does CH think we should be sorry to the Belgians, when they are clearly opposed to eIreland?
4.)Can you please outline this teams goals re next terms stance with the eUK? If we win the current offensive against eScotland, does CH plan to hand it back?
Maybe if I can get some clear and civil replies to this I will learn to trust, and respect his political experience.
I'm assuming he has briefed his cabinet?
It's not really your responsibility to have to answer these questions, but as you are taking the dayshift whilst Chance is asleep, maybe you can give us an idea till he wakes up.
Thanks.
btw chance, i'm not impressed at all about any apology to eBelgium.
Apologize for their collaboration with FYROM and the UK?
I refer to read this article :
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/belgium-s-weekly-waffles-9-3-11-1855780/1/20
especially this lines:
"..if the Belgians could help push out the Irish from the South East of England, Ireland would have no way of attacking Flanders because they would have no territories connected."
"... Monsieur Guillontine soon contacted Macedonia as well as the UK, calling for immediate aid."
only the first of your questions refers to me so i will answer only this,with chance we talked about the schedule,about what we have to do,we talked about the elections (i imagine you won't ask what we talked in private)a little only for belgium but not at all for pierce,i ll ask him later when i will return home and meet him on irc
i believe he will come in a while to answer your rest of the questions and thank you for them
lol @ calling the last month a bad term xD
srsly
Haters gonna hate.... Grainne.... are you sure you even know what you're talking about? Fighting against e-Ireland? Me? never have, never will. Check your facts there boyo. I never said I didn't need to communicate with anyone. I happen to be in communications in RL. Don't get so butthurt over articles. It's truly sad that you think it's the life blood of the administration. As for the last term sure, "we" won. Where were the supplies? I still have access to the supply doc and found a bunch of the IA lads lacking supplies for 5 days or so if not more and the best Padraig and Chew could say was fk em. If they don't know how to get them then oh well. Lying to get us to NE Belgium, yeah great, typical government alright. I din't bash anyone. I told the truth. You mad? You want me to be more transparent? I'll be transparent all right! When we were trying to get unwiped where to all the tanks go? To Canada just as others have before. Of course now they return when one of their own is CP and fully suppprt him. B/S if you ask me. Now everyone wants to turn their back on me when I voice my opinion and blow everything I say out of proportion. For shame....
Communications in RL. Seriously? Are you a courier?
Good morning Chance. Hope you are well rested.
I'm not interested in any of that deflection stuff.
Can you please answer the questions?
Thx.
" I still have access to the supply doc and found a bunch of the IA lads lacking supplies for 5 days or so if not more..."
Who was the supply officer? isn't this the same guy who will get a position in your future MoD department?
And what about the "eBelgium issue" i mentioned before? Any answers there?
/elbows Daghdha outta the way....lol
Daghdha: I was away for a week, on holiday. I left Padraig in charge of the supplying, he made an article via the DoD saying for IA troops to mail him for supplies, instead of using the supply form. Not all IA members saw it, and some went without supplies - which is being corrected. If that answers your question.
Dail members can request the supply sheet if they ask for it, I have records from the 25th of Jan 2011.
Oh, and Chance has always been a beast in the Irish Army. Hes one of the essential parts of keeping the national military going, in office and out of office.
When you vote for him, you can be sure he'll hound the national army into continued success. Very strong area of his, I'd say.
^No doubt about that.
But he sure is sh*te at answering politics questions, isn't he?
^lol
