No communication ! No plans ! No chance !
OmuNegru9
Today I'm not going to talk about economy and I'm not going to "insult" somebody (as Oraizan said).
It's no secret that in eAustria communication is very bad. And when I say that I mean official announcements are not released frequently and population is not informed about what the government is doing.
When presidential elections came we see articles with what X or Y will do if he's going to be president, we see what people will run the ministrys. But that's all. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to see some article released by official government or ministers in which they tell us what they have done, what they are doing and what they plan to do. Maybe some us will like to know how money and gold are spend. Maybe some will like to know what taxes will be used (those who have companys or what to open a new one).
Some of you will say : "But you can find out those things if you come to IRC channel or forums". Well I'm not a fan of IRC and forums. I play this game here. Think about those who are new in this game. They log in trying to find out how this game works, what plans the government has, or anything else.
About current president and government
It seems that Vreath has started with his left foot. He proposed twice a new citizen message and both of them were rejected. Now that makes me wonder : is there a lack of communication between Vreath and congress members ? Don't ge me wrong, I'm asking because I can't find an answer and I want to be informed if some things don't go as expected. I have faith that Vreath is going to be a good president and I hope he will do many things for eAustria this month.
In the end I will like to say one more thing. It seems to me that some people who are part of the government have lost their appetite to play this game. For some the only reason they play this game is rutine and the fact they have a lot of friends to talk to. That doesn't help this country. eAustria needs people who are willing to do new things, people who are active and like this game. But maybe it's just me ...

The thing about the two proposals: We, the government, did not know that HTML is disabled on welcoming messages (it did work before while PrinceOfAustria's presidency). So the first proposal we tried the HTML thing, did not work. The second time we tried it again, chaning few things, still did not work.
Then we have been informed that only BB Codes work on Welcoming Messages (something new). There was no lack of communication to the congress. It was opposite, I urged most of the congress members to vote 'NO' on that welcome message which looked like a bunch of codes
And transparency, we are trying our best to keep the public up to date. But we are all humans, our time is restricted.
And the most of the time in eRepublik we are spending on talking with our neighbours and other countries, making agreements, planning things etc.
Minister of information - what an idea ?! // Propagandaministerium - das wärs doch ?!
Vreath has an active account.
you could send him a pm if you have questions.
And if you think the answers are important or you receive no answer you can publish an article.
First, thank you Vreath for your answer.
"Vreath has an active account.
you could send him a pm if you have questions." -> And what if 20 people have questions ? What do you think it's easier : a minister or president who wrotes an article and the other read it or the others sending PM's to the president who needs to reply. It's not about me. It's about all of eAustrians who want to know what is going on.
"And if you think the answers are important or you receive no answer you can publish an article." -> I'm not the only one who published an article demanding some informations. I don't need a 24/7 as Vreath said. But at least once a week we can have an article released informing us on what's going on.
PS to what Vreath said about lack of time because of RL. If someone doesn't have time to spend in the game then don't name it in government. Let those who have time and will.
OmuNegru9, you have my word that communication between the Austrian government and citizens, will improve. While i have to disagree with your statement, "It's no secret that in eAustria communication is very bad"
I will admit, things could be better. However, i do not believe things are "very bad"
Either way, the government is working to resolve this issue as I speak. Thank you for your article, and your concerns (:
This problem will be addressed
mimimi and you are still not in the gov
JaFe I think you are Alfred Ball brother. You both are so ... loosers. I never wanted to be in government. I make a lot of money because of your poor administration when your were president and now as MoF. So why do you think I'll like to be part pf government? To improve things? I'll lose a lot of money. Beside, there are so many people like you who are very competent for this job.
uh, insult again (: gimme pet-names \o/
Alfred isn't my brother, he's my lover, so you are wrong again. nothing more to add, rest is same nonsense like always.
well... just one thing Oo: how can it be a poor administration if it spreads welfare? Seems I have to run for CP again and realize a maximum tax plan, huh?
Nvm, crawl into your hole again and come back next term again!
