Larni- The Protest Vote
![Australia](http://www.erepublik.net/images/flags_png/S/Australia.png)
Daenerys Stormborn Targaryen
I have decided to write a brief article explaining the present situation for the next CP of eAustralia. DIYPA’s basic response is, ‘This is ANP’s mess, let them deal with it’ and I must admit I am inclined to agree. This last month has been disastrous on both internally and on the world stage, they have completely failed to live up to any of their promises and indeed the situation does not look like improving any time soon.
So now we look at the other option running, Paul Hamon.... if Sir C0nstant’s reign is a disaster I dread to think what would happen if PH actually gained power. Our nation would grind to a halt and without the CP functions we would die quicker than if we were pto’d again.
Worse still is the plain simple fact that if for some reason Sir C gets impeached or quits then Paul would become the CP by default...
Which is where I come in. The DIYPA party are aware of the undercurrent in the eAus society as many are clearly becoming aware of the false promises made during the last election. We fear that the backlash may see people voting for Paul out of protest and this is clearly not a good thing.
So I am running as the CP Candidate for the DIYPA party. We are busy actively working behind the scenes with many of our acts and amendments passing through senate, even as I write this, and had not even decided to run a candidate at all until we were informed the Australian Independents were not running a candidate.
So are we equipped for a CP run? Not as such, in a perfect world we would have had another month to prepare. However that is not how things have worked out and we are forced to put a candidate forward.
That candidate is me, Larni Kaddlestorm. I have a military record beyond doubt and am responsible for the organisation that went into the Liberation Resistance Wars that saw us whitewash the eIndonesian opposition across all states. I am a multi time senator and congress member and have all the contacts in EDEN and our allies to know that attacking Chile was a mistake.
When I voiced my concerns as MoFA, I was ignored and had actually made the mistake of assuming our Gov had made the proper preparations.... obviously they did not and we were embarrassed a second time on the world stage within a few weeks. (The first time was the complete mess of the landswap with eNZ. Its very hard maintaining respect in the EDEN rooms with that nonsense going on.)
So you know me. A lot of you do not like me and that is understandable but my reputation on the world stage amongst both our allies and our enemies is one of a planner, a thinker and one capable of being truly AWESOME. (had to do it at least once) I do not do things by halves and make sure I take everything into consideration before I open the door.
What would I do differently to what has happened this month?
I would actually release articles that contained truth and not simply government propaganda. If a minister is not pulling their weight I will replace them. I would guarantee to do my best in retaking our captured homelands and not focus on so called ‘weaker’ nations abroad.
I can get support for RW’s in WA, SA and Victoria from amongst our allies but once we look at instigating battles off shore I guarantee there will be no support. We are not an Imperialist nation and it was foolish to even consider the notion.
As for government transparency, I will make no promises there though senate will be heavily involved in any decisions our nation makes. Obviously there are some things that need to be kept out of the spotlight but allowing the country to function blind as it has been this month is ludicrous. That will not happen. People will be aware of what is going on and articles will be posted every second to third day. Even if they say nothing, they keep the Gov in touch with the people.
I will release another article within the next day or so with my cabinet (just in case the protest vote is more than we anticipated) and will be ready to assume the mantle immediately. Like I have proven in the past, I like to be prepared and cover all contingencies.
Ideally I would like to see Sir C’s have another month, judging him as a failed CP after only one month is a bit harsh even for me. He has been diligent in his duties but simply trusted the voices of the wrong people. A lesson he will either learn from or he will not. Either way I wish him luck in the elections and in the next month.
*sits back and prepares for the obvious trolling from infin,docterdry and KH avatars....ohhh forgot the obvious picture in an attempt to gain more votes....
Really, what did you expect lol
ok fine, by popular request here's one for the boys:
Comments
I would rather vote for Callumh123. And that's saying something.
LOL @ Hinokai
Me too.
Doing it yourself is the only solution for when the govt fails.
If I was a kangaroo I would vote.
This campaign is filled with awesome AND elite.
sub'd with sexy addition (=
Larni = Awesome
Go, go, Larni!
You claim the current governments term has been "disastrous" and all these other things, yet you won't point out how it has been "disastrous" in your article and you won't provide example. This is meant to confuse and mislead the wider community on purpose.
No government could be as disastrous as the wally wilson/ bowen eley reigns of terror.
This is just another larni game where she attempts to make herself look better for the cp run by claiming the ANP is ruining everything. This isn't the first this game has been played
"As for government transparency, I will make no promises there."
I specifically found this line amusing. Larni has a sly and sneaky nature and has no problem doing the wrong thing and this line confirms it.
just make sure you've got REALLY good reasons behind your claims that things are disasters
as they will attack you for that
good claims.... like the NZ cluster****, the Chile failed Imperialim campaign? the present state of the military? (strike that there is no military) or talks with eIndo (what talks) lol
precisely
lol
The NZ deal went to plan. The Chile invasion were simply war games. The military is in it's current state because of the minister.'
You need someone in charge of ministries that get things done. Unfortunately, the people who get things done, rarely get into cabinet (callumh123, savonrepus, DocterDry etc ) to name a few.
"The NZ deal went to plan."
hahaha lets ask them that? It was a complete mess and anyone involved knows it.
"The Chile invasion were simply war games."
That's what the Gov are saying now as an excuse but we all know it wasn't war games.
Strange how you know Callumh, savronpus and docterdry yet have nobody on your friends list apart from plato.
An ANP multi I assume.
Personally, I dont think attacking eChile was a bad idea. Nor the land swap with eNZ. It was a bit confusing, the heaps of steps that we needed to go through, but it worked didnt it? eAus now has an Iron region. And we have strengthened our relations with eNZ as well.
Attacking eChile was a good idea, no offense eChile, it doesnt matter what country it is, but its good to have a war. Where we are invading. And when its rather equal. eIndonesia belt us every time we take them on. Attacking eChile was fun, and if it works out, we have shown the world we can actually do something.
I also dont think RWs are a good idea at the moment, last time, we got our country back, for about a week? Then eIndo attacked again. Personally, I would like SA back, because I own a grain company 😛, but I dont think doing it with force is the right answer. eIndo can be talked to. So we should give it a shot, rather than spend a huge amount of gold restoring our country, then losing it again
NZ swaps went great, we got Iron and are on good terms.
Chile campaign was marginally pointless, but inevitable to lose due to someone spending an amount of gold comparable to our monthly budget.
Military is currently not that bad, at the moment. Definitely been worse in the past.
all valid points Angie. But eIndo have enough worries atm with China. I am not talking about taking our land back by force but it is always an option. However eIndo have no intention of talking until they are forced to.
The present Gov have shown no inclination towards pressuring them at all, instead picking on a country that has Bulgaria as an MPP.
We get our battles via MPP, there is no reason for eAus itself to be invading other countries when we can't even stand on our own two feet yet.
Love how Larni invokes the word disaster to try and scare the populace into voting for her.
Fact is that we have a country with realtive stability atm, so what Chile didnt work out, we have not lost anything and we got some good battles. I would say perhaps you expect too much, we have 800 ppl atm, maybe 200-300 active players, we cannot expect to hold all our region with such a low population. SC has done what was right, hold those regions we had (even swapped one for better resources) and give us a few battles that arent threatening us to keep the military ticking over.
As for the state of the military, I can only take your word for it, but if you were such an awesome MoD why don't you run for that position again and fix it up, it is a full time job.
In short your not a politician, your a soldier, do what you are good at.
Flatty will be a good MoD once given the chance, he took over from AB half way through this month and is still finding his feet.
"SC has done what was right, hold those regions we had (even swapped one for better resources)"
Agreed and another month might be all he needs. As clearly stated I think Sir C deserves another month as CP, I do not think he will make the same errors again.
"Strange how you know Callumh, savronpus and docterdry yet have nobody on your friends list apart from plato.
An ANP multi I assume."
You call everyone a multi who disagree with you. I have been watching you and your mates for a long time now.
I am one of many players who sit in the background of this game watching the likes of you carry on and one of many players who choose not to involve themselfs in the main stream of this game because we will only get people like you on our backs. We would prefer to ignore you lot and just associate with people who are nice and friendly.
Callumh123 was the first person i got a message off when i joined the game and he seems pretty nice.
I don't usually write comments, but i decided to this time and look what happens, i get called a multi. Proves what i said up the top further.
The current government is practically invisible, has little contact with the senate and no contact with the people. Its been nearly 48 hours after we lost the invasion of Chile and the government has said nothing.
Transparency means letting others know what you are doing. Does anyone know what the Sir_C0nstant administration is doing? Honestly?
If stability is doing nothing, then we are very stable.
The invasion of Chile was specifically stated to be to conquer regions, lets not have any revisionism here.
Larni farting everywhere like her shit doesn't stink once again
look a future ANP voter. 😉 lol
Yes, but Larni, invading a country or defending your home country, if different to fighting wars through MPP's. People are more desperate if you wish, they care more about the outcome, ideally that wouldnt happen in alliances, but it does anyway.
This is mirrored by our supplies we get, supplies are doubled when eAustralia is directly in a war. You can also see this through the price of food, demand sky-rocketed. The food prices went up from 1.4ish AUD to 1.75ish AUD for one piece of Q1 food. That shows people were fighting more, because all the cheaper food was bought.
Which means higher activity, people enjoy fighting wars through MPP's, but it can get a bit boring sometimes, but when YOUR country is attacking, you spend more money, fight more, get behind the country more.
Its important that we do this, it increases activity, and makes the game much more fun.
And to eIndo, they will still crush us, not that im against getting our regions back, I just think we need to do some talking. It was proved that eIndo can be talked to when they gave back our regions/stopped attacking.
The war in eChile has been/is good for us. Im not sure attacking eChile was the right target, but it is important to have wars you are involved with, and since the NE rule, it becomes a free war. Even better. eIndo needs to be talked to, if they are too stubborn/things dont work out, then taking our lands back by force becomes a more favourable option.
The current government doesnt have my full support, and have made some mistakes, but it hasnt been disastrous, not the military aspects anyway
SC has done a wonderful job this term, the military is finally working... after so many CPs failed. And the land swap has given us a way forward which is not continued futile Indo hating. Chile didn't work because people simply didn't turn up to fight - it's almost like no one cares any more. Whatever you are smoking Larni you need to lay off it.
As to Larni's credentials she is a joke obsessed with gratifying her own ego. She openly admitted last month before she pulled out of the CP race when she realised she couldn't win that she is only a war time CP and has no interest in rebuilding our community. She is a hulk smash kind of person. Seriously who would put a fool like that in charge of our country (oh hang on Bowen Eley won the CP too so it is possible).
Larni loves to dish out the criticism but SC has made the best of a bad situation, being here every day online. Venja, Majester and Lord_Ferum have all been actively supplying troops and I have received supplies every day from #ADF. Some people who are too lazy to join the military (and they are commenting in this article) are hypocrites.
sir_c0nstant is the best CP Australia has had since I started this game.

I suppose "a long time" is open to interpretation. I've been watching Larni and her mates for a lot longer, and have a slightly different opinion than his.
When I started to read this artilce I presumed it was purely for lulz. After all we have had to put up with who would think this could happen. I suppose DIYPA as a new party want a dry run to test the water and might as well be using blank ammunition. Looking forward to see their candidate for the following month.
In Chile, we got beaten by well funded Bulgarian script tanks. No big deal. More communication would help certainly but from my perspective, its been a very solid term of government, coming back from the devastation of the previous government.
Angie how can you not be in cabinet or something yet... I'll catch you online 😛 we need to talk lol
infin trolls, no suprise there.
Disagree with me? YOU ARE A TROLL.
If you dare disagree with the AWESOME Larni, you are a troll.
trololololololo
Infin - you aren't always a troll if you disagree. Sometimes the dissenters are multis. jks
Ok so I don't think this term has been terrible but:
"the military is finally working"...... "people simply didn't turn up to fight"
How is our military working when they don't show up?
The military is working for those who care to participate. Can't force anyone to do anything specially when they are too busy writing intelligent comments in articles rather than servimg the military. For example I came across one unnamed high strength person the other day who wanted full war supplies but didn't want to join the military. What can you do?
infin says 1) the military is in good shape, 2) the military didn't show up for the battle. Contradiction.
My biggest complaint about the current government is that no one knows what the hell is going on. The people in the government are not communicating with the voters. You can't deny it. I remember all the criticism I received from the ANP and gang about communication even though we had daily battle orders and frequent communication from the government. You are not living up to your responsibilities as the administration of eAustralia.
I actually suspected this would happen. SirC is a nice guy and all, but his previous administrations when he took over as PM went exactly like this.
So stop being apologists for yourselves and get off your butts and start being a part of the people instead of silent elites in your ivory tower.
And "Wally Wheelson" and gang. Please give people credit for having some intelligence. Its pretty obvious who you are and running multis is cheating and pretty fail.
Venja I do think Sir C has had an unfair run this month, things just haven't really fallen into place despite his best efforts.
This isn't about me winning the election at all, this is about coming second place and putting a space between Sir C and Paul Hamon.
I don't think the protest vote will number nearly enough to get past Paul because of how he works but any additional votes I can get will help in the last hours of the elections.
final comment to the current administration (and whatever ministers are left).
If you want to be re-elected, stop making excuses and become leaders. Thats what this entire "protest vote" thing is about anyway. To inspire you to achieve and do what you're supposed to be doing.
Look whats happening in RL Egypt when a government ignores its people and they don't have participation?
I am excited by the prospect of Larni leading Australia.
Dont Vote for this Traitor!
The only thing you are capable of is annoying people enough that they leave. You consistently torture the eAus community and your only support is your so called Elite'ist group.
I would rather vote for Paul than too spit on your ballot.
thank you Rheinlander 🙂 I will one day lead eAus and our relationship with nations overseas will improve.
Poor Sammy, all the gold in the world and not one military victory to go with it 😉
Good luck Larni, I think you just might have my vote.
Rather than trolling or responding to trolls I'll just say good luck to all candidates, may the winner serve eAustralia well.
Just wondering - did you get Max McFarland's approval to run his photo in your campaign launch?
sir_c0nstant is the first CP in Australian ehistory to successfully take on new countries and succeed, nuff said.
And Larni you are only upset cause sc isn't like Bowen who was supplying you countless supplies from raiding the DB's.
@chris Carnage
Max Mcfarland has quit the game long ago
Callumh1234CP \o/
@Tim_Holtz - surprised face | sad face
** Warning - this article contains images of people who have died and may be distressing to some readers **
@Camshaft: So Cozza taking on eBrazil by making it one of his campaign goals, then eAus getting invaded by them as a result, followed by us kicking them out of the country doesn't count as taking on another country?
Losing the only battle so far on their soil is successfully taking on a new country?
Well even as Larni has stated she would be a disastrous CP so my vote will not be swinging that way.
I have read the eChile war game gdoc and so far so good, notice how there is no eChile resistance in Otago?
Sir_c0nstant has done well so far, besides his DoE has be lackluster which is really the only major flaw i have seen so far.
Also maybe utilize Larni a bit more in FA as the eWorld is changing and Eden will not be the same as it use to be.
"I have read the eChile war game gdoc and so far so good."
I assume you mean the one Bulgaria wrote as a way to basically make this war go away? They weren't the only big nation to scratch their heads and decide to 'warn' us off silly thoughts of imperialism.
Sir C took notice I give him that, just a shame it came down to other countries intervening and basically telling us to sit down and behave.
Like I keep saying, maybe another month will help Sir C out. Its about ensuring eAus has a plan B candidate that is not Paul Hamon.
sir_c0nstant is the worst CP Australia has had since I started this game, even Cerb our "rage quit" CP Cerb did a better job.
Paul Hamon should be the next CP, can he really do any worse compared to our current CP?
