We Will Become A Nation Again.
BOUD1CCA
From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches,
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honour and the sword
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us good Lord!
Tie in a living tether,
The prince and priest and thrall,
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us and save us all:
In ire and exultation
Aflame with faith and free,
Lift up a living nation.
A single sword to thee
In my last article I featured Augustina de Aragon I showed her as an example of how I would like to be. Then I had no idea who she was. She was a Spanish heroine who rose to the occasion in fighting the French who had invaded Spain. Everyone else was killed but she ran up and fired a cannon at the French who broke off their attack & ran away. All I can say is that she was lucky, the French discipline & elan must have been unravelling at that time otherwise she would have ended up another corpse
If only getting rid of Chileans was that easy
But, Madame Teresa DeFage is who I relate to. A fictional character this time, portrayed as fanatical, bloodthirsty and obsessed with revenge. In pictures she is portrayed as a mad cat lady type of person sans cats. (compared to Agustina de Aragon who is always shown as heroic and beautiful)
Yet this could not have been the case, she had a chip on her shoulder. But she carefully planned for 20 years to bring the revolution about. Obviously such an effort requires discipline charisma & cunning.
This Madam deFage would have certainly have carried out this type of thing
The Revolutionary Council have decreed Oldfag, you don't use your brain.So you don't need your head
But its not fair
🙁Incompetence is not a crime.
Its a virtue, enshrined in Oldfag convention & Tradition
But that’s not me. Our revolution is not aimed at people. We do not represent nutters & anarchists
This is More the Madam deFage I would be like, fanatical in a sort of hot way but underneath it compassionate
ALL Australians are valuable and should be cherished and encouraged.
What we want to get rid of is NOT the people but the OLDFAG system. Otherwise we will end up with a NEWFAG system which is the same as the OLDFAG one without the experience.
We badly need one Australia. All this attacking of people and not systems has GOT to stop.
A lot of the trouble in our boards and forum is the conflicting requirements of our existence. A system like ancient Sparta (if all you know of Sparta is "The 300", stop reading now) or the Hittites, where the will of the individual is subsumed to the will of the the State.
A system that is effective but totally alien to all Australians hold dear.
But we can work our way around this. What is required is trust and cooperation, where ALL Australians get a say in the running of our country.
Please people next elections for our CP vote Xavier Griffith our candidate. Truley only he can lead us out of the “same old same old” rut we are stuck in
And Liberty agrees just for Mr Crumpets

"The Revolutionary Council have decreed Callumh, you don't use your brain.So you don't need your head"
Sorry, in what way have I not used my head?
I am useless at writing treaties so XG wrote one for Greg.
We have MPP's ready for whatever way eChile goes with the treaty.
You pretty rhetoric is well, nothing more than pretty rhetoric.
Please comeback when you actually decide to do something other than marginalise and name call. You are a cancer.
And I like the "oldfag" gimmick. You do realise XG is older than most eAustralians?
I fail to see what XG will offer that is any different.
I'll be voting for XG too. He was a good CP and will be again.
I agree with targeting the system and not the people.
I would also totally fire a cannon at french people. Just show me a cannon and a frenchman and he's toast!
I voted for boobs... there was no boobs... can I have my vote back please... or boobs?
I voted for the boob who posted above. ^
"Everyone else was killed but she ran up and fired a cannon at the French who broke off their attack & ran away."
Lol. Im sure thats exactly what happened.
>bitches about oldfags
>leader is older then most of the people labelled "oldfag"
lolwut.
OLDFAG is a way of thinking & represents an entrenched system that does not encourage new players.
A group that shares power & hangs on to it because rightly or wrongly they consider that only THEY have the wits & experience.
It is not so much the people as the mindset.
I don't want to say elites, because of the connotations, 1: That its individuals not a system 2: That they are somehow better
The revolution is open to everybody who is passionate about Australia's future Arthur - and that can include you - just open your heart & mind to the message \o/
In the same article you call Callum a nincompoop who needs to be beheaded and plead for the attacking of people to stop. You've been calling Callum a chimp all over the forums but urge people to cherish all citizens. It used to be the chimps who threw poo at people, now you're throwing poo at people you call chimps.
eAustralia will never be a place "where the will of the individual is subsumed to the will of the the State." That has been proven time and again by many people, yourself included.
I see, I have 5 podcasts almost ready to be put into recordings to try something different, as well as spending tomorrow writing articles to help new players and I am an oldfag. You are a cancer that needs to be cut off. Someone that complains and does nothing to help. You are the most useless player in eAustralia.
Your revolution is nothing more than a populist ploy. I have never tried to "hold onto power", how is that even possible.
I wish you had some worth, but I'm struggling to find it.
And I said it in this paper as well Chris. In the "effective but totally alien" bit. And no, I did not say Callumh needs to be beheaded check the "thats not me" bit
Nincompoop, now that's a word I doubt I have ever used in my life before, If you were a nincompoop Callumh, you would not be a problem.
And complains but does nothing to help? How would you define that?
Helping = STFU & leave you alone to do things your way I suppose
Well I am doing something about that, aren't I.
So struggle away
And while I do not like to comment much in my own articles, Chris would you show me where I have been calling Callumh a chimp "all over the forums".
This is how you lot hang on to power, by setting out to discredit other voices considered "opponents".
I do admit I have been suggesting some players have the abilities of chimps, but where do I say specifically that Callumh is a chimp.
My articles are directed to Aus players who have been playing, but are not happy at how our affairs are handled and don't seem to get any say in its running.
And finally, - while it was not my intention - it does seem like a personal attack, there have been to many of these, so I amended my paper
Thanks for taking that out, appreciate it.
"This is how you lot hang on to power, by setting out to discredit other voices considered "opponents"."
Not sure if you were talking to me here (I guess I'm part of "you lot") but I don't consider you an opponent and I have never held any power. I am not trying to discredit you, I saw something I strongly disagreed with and commented.
Let's move on in a spirit of love and cherishment.
"Let's move on in a spirit of love and cherishment."
sounds good : )
It is the only way that Australia will have a chance
like Chesterton said above \o/
"In ire and exultation
Aflame with faith and free,
Lift up a living nation.
A single sword to thee"
Criticism is fine, it is a good thing. But going out of your way to actually insult someone and calling the "MoFA" team chimps is not on. This feud started when you went personal and it became less about the policies and more about publically insulting me without anyu knowledge on the subject, and it seems you have totally back flipped on your "STRAYLA OR DEATH MOITE" policy.
You provide little to no substance in this article. You say "end to the old fag" this old sentiment has been going for the past well... ever. Want to know why I was asked to be MoFA? No, it wasn't some grand conspiracy to stay in power that I insidiously concocted, it was because I have a decent track record as MoFA and I know what is going on in the realm of geopolitics.
Back on topic now, "oldfag' would most definitely describe the writer of the piece. Hate articles like this only deters new players and until you realise that then you are no better than the conniving "oldfags" who obviously poison new players so that we can remain in power mwahahaha. eAustralia is such a swing country that I don't even know if it possible to do so.
I know personally I have ever written a hate article with no good reason. The one time I can think of slightly hating would be when Binda banned the "Bewbs4Newbs" campaign to give newbs food and supplies. But obviously to you that would be me finding another devious plan to keep in power and deter new players.
>things dont go perfectly
>they must be incompetent
yep seems legit, because we all know things usually go swimmingly for eAus
STRAYLA OR DEATH MOITE" that sort of sums things up. Anybody has a different opinion to yours, that is how you consider them - brainless bogans? You have always made your opinions clear that way.. And yet you are upset about my suggestion that the FA team were chimps? I could have been hateful & called them a cancer.
Callumh, self praise is no recommendation I am happy for you that you feel you are doing a good job, its difficult to tell. But going on results, its a bit hard to work out who's interests you have at heart.
And to go from pretty rhetoric to a hate article - so quickly. I am devastated : (
That was a pitiful retort, I expected something better. The first quote of your comment is actually quite accurate that you would rather stand up and fight (and lose) than give into a treaty with eChile.
I have an opinion, you have an opinion. I never intended for a feud to be created from this. It was not my intention, but when you turned things off the politics and then calling the MoFA team and I "chimps" and essentially calling us degenerates for simply trying to sign a treaty, which you now AGREE with.
I will stand up, I will not lie down when someone and a apparently a party wants me to be "beheaded".
Your populist revolution will be over in no time.
Its all politics Callumh - haven't you noticed.
I am surprised that you were expecting something better from me, when earlier you were struggling to find any worth in me. I am now worse than worse apparently.
I gather that you like the idea that you are in danger of being beheaded for standing up for your ideals (whatever they are) - making you a potential martyr, you seem so happy about this I am a bit loath to point out that is not the case - read my article don't just look at the pictures.
As far as I am concerned there is no feud between us, you just happen to be a target because you are the public face of a lot that is wrong in Australia. You probably are doing a good job from your viewpoint - the problem that the vision you follow is weak & flawed. And, as far as I can determine the ONLY reason you follow it is that it will drive new players away from Australia, in that they would prefer to have the scraps of their country & self respect than to be wiped. Do I have that right? let me know if I have misinterpreted you.
Finally the definition of populist is: a political philosophy urging social and political system change that favors "the people" over "the elites", So I gather by your own words you consider yourself an "elite"
Revolution or renaissance Truly Australia needs it badly
Your gatherings are incorrect. I dislike blatant personal attacks, particularly when they are aimed at me.
As far as I am concerned there is a feud between us, it is quite clear that you attack me because I am a face of something you disagree with and it helps your parties agenda.
Do I think I could do more in my capacity as MoFA? Definitely. But that doesn't mean it has been bad at all, when was the last time eAustralia took a turn for the better in geopolitics? We are finally moving forward to stability and regions abck so we can start growing. But you seem to be against that, which pretty odd.
Another thing, please elaborate on "weak and flawed". And how it will chase new players away?
Have you seen the cycles before, we get this surge of aussie pride. We lose, we negotiate as people get tired of constantly losing, some dimwits such as yourself get the surge of aussie pride again and screw up any chance of peace.
You do not comprehend geopolitics. You know that, I know that. YOU do not seem to grasp that we need to sign a treaty or we will be left with no allies. WE will have the remnants of an alliance that cannot help itself, never mind a country not even in the alliance.
Oh, and you have misinterpreted everything in every single way imaginable.
Much like the word "elites" in eRepublik. "Populist" connotations are different from eRep and rl. Populists are the one's that moves parties to the flavour of the month, or go with what ever is popular.
I am helping eAustralia, you on the other hand are not. You have a nice little Senate job now so do something different show that you and your party is more than just a gimmick.
Louise, do you think fighting a never ending battle and getting nowhere will keep new players?
People will join this game for the same reasons i did. Not for the war element but for the business and politics. If there is only war and NOTHING else do you think they would stay?
We are a smaller country. The "never say die" attitude might be fun for a while. But if that doesn't work (and it won't) then what? Just keep blabbing about "Revolution" and "Fight for your freedom" etc etc.
I for one would not hang around.
We obviously cant win just by fighting. Anyone who believes a bigger country will back down once they see how persistant we are in resistance wars is a fool
for someone that doesn't like blatant personal attacks, you do pretty well at making them. You always have if I remember.
All I will say about when will eAustralia take a turn for the better in geopolitics? - the answer is when you and your mates have no say in the matter.
Lastly "A nice little Senate job". Reading our forums, you do have this patronising attitude about the Senate haven't you. This us & them approach. That is another thing that has to (and will) change
Fair game is fair game.
Your second sentence made no sense at all, seeing as XG is basically going to follow on what we have done this term, as is Witherd.
Actually I have no ill feelings towards the Senate at all. What I don't like is when someone promises so much but does not stick to their convictions. You are in a position of power now do something.
Roboz to your answer, in one word No.
Sadly the business element is not as good as it once was, and as for politics, well I am very sceptical about people who join the game & immediately want to start manipulating other people.
Do not patronise me by stating the bleeding obvious. Do not ascribe motives to me when you really have no idea what I stand for. You want to know what I stand for, what my take on things is, ask first
Bahaha yeah mention the French in an article promoting XG that will score him votes ROFL!
voted! good onya louise dont let them oldfags break your spirit. keep em cominy dear lady.
