Ohai eUK.
All of a sudden, Congress elections are upon us, like a snake coiled to strike. This article will cover TUP’s final congress list (which was chosen using a new method) and our general perspective on the ATO effort.
Final Congress List for Elections
TUP has adopted a new method of organising the congress candidate list this month. The candidates (who applied on the forums) were divided into two groups – those active on both IRC and forums, and those active only on forums, the classification being up to the PP. The two groups were then ordered in number of congress medals, with people having the least going on top, and the list of the first group was then put on top of the list of the second group, to form the final congress list.
There was general agreement that this method was fairer to everyone involved. So, without further ado, the official congress list for this month:
1. Jayxm
2. The Grumpy
3. Ragnell
4. hotfuz
5. Hugo Lilly
6. Bohemond4
7. Lonqu
8. Kravenn
9. Calum D Wilson
10. gManalishi
11. BrunoCND
12. Talon Karrde
TUP normally has more applicants for Congress than this, but the other applicants unfortunately did not apply ingame in time.
Comment on Vendetta and the ATO
To be honest, there wasn’t much the ATO operation could do when Serbs began moving en-masse out of the SerUK party into Vendetta – consequently it has just over 100 members, a number nearly impossible to push out of the top 5. Vendetta is now effectively Dapper and his supporters, swelled with Serb numbers.
The only thing we can do at the moment, is report as many multies as you can. All TUP members are encouraged to do this. It is inevitable that there will be some undesirable congressmen this month, and it should be an aim to keep that number as low as possible, in order to mitigate the inevitable number of PTOers who will have their CS approved.
Tl;dr
- New method in finalising order of congress candidates.
- Report as many multies as you can. GO GO GO!
Cheers,
Ragnell

So TUP is sinking the ATO then, not even trying to knock Vendetta out of top 5?
Goku you are being used by the elite please realise this

All of them. Iain PM'd everyone asking for candidates.
Likely story, like how he did that for PP elections.
yet we all know 4 people voted for him, not 200+ at the time.
You are losing members for a reason, people have had enough.
We're losing members by sending them to other parties for ATO... lol
Talon I think not, we have ears and eyes everywhere now 😃
Good work Rag
Talon that is bullshit, you haven't sent the people needed for ATO out.
We need 120+ with the bulk having to come form TUP, otherwise you lose the PTO.
Pft, you give all the opportunities to Serbs anyway.
TUP members if you don't join the forum you don't have a voice or have a chance in TUP very unfair, taking the game out side the game again
Poor
Used a different system for similar results. Waste of time.
Well, at least it's less dependent on favouritism.
I think I'm proof that anyone who wants to be more active, and proves himself willing to work, can get into Congress. None of my Congress medals are from eUK. Yet, here I am, the first time that I asked if I could run for Congress, and my party endorses me 😃 Never have I felt like I don't have a voice. If anything, the so-called "elitists" in TUP try harder than they probably need in order to seem fair, because of critics seeing malfeasance where there is none.
Some of us did not apply for Congress who could have made the list in order to give less experienced players a chance and to be available to move for ATO. Unfortunately, there was no way to move enough people to put Vendetta in 6th place. Indeed, report the multis, and vote for any party but Vendetta. I'm more than happy to see people like Hugo Lilly and Ragnell on this list (just to name 2). If you want some fresh voices, TUP is offering them.
PTO... ATO... Vendetta... Is there anything else to notice in your political program? It's sad enough to declare against Serbs in public, but all you do is writing about ~ 100 people like it's all the worst in eUK. Maybe you should check your own ranks, multies and "patriots". If you are so scared of several dozens of so-called PTO-ers, then you should admit to yourself that you are far from being "significant" in eRepublik.
Of course, I can understand your frustration and can't take it personally, I guess you would also declare ATO on asians, africans, americans, etc. But, most of your statements, regarding that matter, are immature. and that's what worries me.
UK has a huge fan base in Serbia, but you're turning them away with such behavior, along with some of your citizens, with common sense and decency.
I like UK and I wish all the best to eUK, too. Friendship is the most important thing, along with decent behavior and fun and that's why I'm here. But, all you do is whining and blaming others for your own political mistakes and incapability.
So, all I can do is to wish you luck in uniting and regaining normal views on eLife, so we can all enjoy this game. Also, my best regards to all people with good will.
Cheers!
I'm an immigrant myself, and I've been welcomed. We know not all Serbs are PTOers, but we can't risk slip ups. It doesn't help that you choose to side with a group almost universally recognized in the eUK as traitors, based on their past actions.
The reality is, the eUK is in PTO alert and we have to treat any likely PTO threat as such. This view is prevalent across the eUK, not just in TUP. We merely participate in the ATO effort - we don't lead it.
Finally, you call us scared. We are, because this apparently small number of likely PTOers can only increase.
First of all, Ragnell, thank you for calm and objective reply.
I feel welcomed, too, so, even if my words sound bad, I write it for good cause. I understand that Vendetta is carrying a great burden from the past, but I can't shake off the feeling that it's produced by politicans, based on "hold the thief" recipe. And it can bring only hatred and vengeance. When it comes to me, I speak for myself and believe me, if I notice any kind of political abuse executed by my party, I'll be first to leave.
Alert, okay, I understand that. But it lacks dignity, a lot. Much smaller countries don't make such a massive, national hysteria. Also, some of them are looking forward to being "taken over" by strong, experienced citizens from other, friendly nations or being in symbiosis, for mutual good.
Being scared is mother of being cautious. Living in fear is something different. If eUK really wants to protect itself, there are other ways. Unite (so far, its' going well), make baby-booms (not multies, real people!), spread positive attitude, etc. Considering isolation of suspicios (okay, I'll give you that much) citizens as only solutin is big mistake. Tomorrow there will be another PTO-er, day after tomorrow brings another one, and so on... That's most important thing I wanted to point out, eUK really needs change in collective way of thinking and acting.
For the end, there is no me and you, it's us, since I'm part of UK, too.
By the way, I apologize for using this article for open, verbal attack on eUK government, I guess I got carried away by momentum, thanks to all this election noise.
Ragnell, you seem very eloquent, judging by your well pointed reply and I thank you for your time and your thoughts shared.
Congrats on your 50th medal Kravenn. Give it a rest now please and let someone else have a go
🙂
Lo, TUP covers up their asses again, cute.
Voted .
