[VP] Not Running, Who wants to be Pres?
irishbhoy1967
Myself, Padraig and Chewie will not be running for office again next term. For the past month there has at any given time been at least 1 of us online and more often than not the 3 of us were here, awake until ridiculous hours of the nights/mornings monitoring battles, organising strikes, gathering support and many other things besides. It's been tiring. Working for e-Ireland is not something we will complain about though. The most tiring part of this month was the constant bitching from inside e-Ireland from some quarters who claimed to have the best interests of the community at heart. None of these people will ever step up and do any real work themselves. It's not a part of how they operate. However, there are others who do want to work for Ireland.
So to all Presidential Candidates:
You have a chance in the comments section or however else you see fit to convince us(and perhaps others) why you should be given the thankless job of next Irish President. Whoever(or whoever's supporters) makes the best argument will get the in-game nomination of the Nationalist Party, no-strings attached.
Quick recap on the term
Ireland kicks Poland out of North America. Contrary to what some might have you believe, the majority of the influence in these battles came from Irish citizens, not allies. In the term previous to this one, Ireland also attacked Poland, a battle that Ireland at the time intentionally lost. However during that battle we noticed that if Poland were stretched at all then they would be beatable in battles for these regions. When James proposed the NE on Poland, we were prepared to fight and win there. This move won us many friends. Friends we need.
What you mean you moved Ireland? Why?
Cos we can
Whole island under Irish control?
Yea and some of the other, less attractive island too
You gotta be kiddin me
No it's not Photoshopped
In the terms previous to this, Ireland (imo) concentrated too much on Resistance Wars and just accepted defeat in the Nat Enemy battles Vs the UK. This was a mistake. Direct battles should for the most part be the priority. To win these you need a few things. Firstly, a stack of MPPs comparable to your enemy. We went about beefing that up as soon as the election was over. Secondly it helps to hold the battles at a time that is favourable to you and your allies. Thirdly, a stash of weapons that can be given to the strongest foreign soldiers during the most important battles. A Romper and Argrob are useful things to have around as well (Protip: You get those when your not a backstabbing country) All this(and other stuff) took us all the way to London, and if the UK refuse Peace, there is no reason why Ireland(the future administration) should not aim to do that again if we stick to the same tactics.
Your efforts at splitting the country fail as badly as an ashtray on a motorbike?
Don't cry SHM ;_;
Personally I'll still fight as much as I can for Ireland and help how I can but...
It's been a blast e-Ireland, time for a break

And huge thanks to all the Irish citizens who helped in so many different ways throughout the term. Everyone played their part, and yes I mean everyone whether we are friends or not. And also to the MUs: IA, ICA, Libertad, IRA, Labours Army.
To be completely honest, I hate starting these thank you lists as someone almost always get's left out. So if anyone has been overlooked, shout at me and will add to list.

Cheers mate.
Cool, thanks for the shout out!

This has been an adequate term on paper, for sure. I know the Minister of Immigration had fun.
A great term for eIreland. Thanks for the mention!
"Protip: You get those when your not a backstabbing country"
You clearly meant "you're"
Still the Master of my Pantaloons though.

Enjoy your break.
Fair play. I have been president two and a half times - so despite the fact a fair chunk of your article was aimed at me, I DO know how time demanding this job is and what you were going through - and I appreciate your efforts.
This term was alot better than initially feared by many people.
Well played, lads. Enjoy the break.
Quick recap of the term:
1) had a president with a record of selling citizenship to the Brits
2) plotted a PTO attempt against another Irish party and failed
3) let EDEN beat back the Brits for you and claimed it was your achievement
4) attacked London and pathetically failed (EDEN priorities moved on)
5) bullied neutral Belgium lying to both congress and public about it
6) lied a lot
7) trolled a lot
😎 preached about unity and insulted everyone daring to criticise you
9) praised yourselves a lot
10) ended up with Brits invading Ireland once again
A typical ICA-term ...
Thank you for the hard work but I hope you and Stranger can work out your differences for the good of ireland.
Whats PTO?

"Whats PTO?"
Political take-over. Joining a party en mass and electing a president - then leaving. Usually done by hostile foreign groups - Irishbhoy's gang has done that to every Irish party already. Bar EA, as the plot was leaked by Conway:

actually I'm laughing at you in derision, not crying.
That sure is the most butthurt type of laughter I ever did see.
Lold @ shm's butthurt
Thanks IBhoy. Enjoy your break and the delicious tears.
For Ireland! Cheers.

epic term is epic
epic term is epic x2
Also SHM:
>Move to USA to get away from politics
>Realizes need to troll
>Finds articles written by ICA people
>Attempts to troll
>Fails (I was thinking something along the lines of pathetic failed troll is pathetic failure; before realizing that it would confuse to many readers, as Pathetic Failure is synonymous with SHM)

2 MPPs were added to the 8 I helped gain or regain. o7 for getting China. Meh on getting Brazil back. Truth is truth.
Patrick,
now that comment of yours was just about as whiney as the comment you are trying to ridicule...what is wrong with your people? Are you guys in some sort of competition?
Get a grip, all of ya
Respect o7
Patrick, I've been thinking about whether you're more pathetic when trying to mock the 'honest' nice guy, or when the innate reptile comes out of you. Undecided yet.
That list of babysitters sure is big.
Put Stranger Here 'Himself' onto the thank you list.
@Tomazim
UK prolly doesn't have friends because when your "allies" are being wiped from the map, you(UK) prefer to concentrate on putting your damage into defending 1 of your 4 Fish regions instead of helping them.
Dang, I thought my reply was clever. Sorry guys, Ill be better coming up with witty banter in the future.

A very good term for the common soldiery 🙂
Bad attitudes, ofc, but hey...that was expected.
Padraig was actually a great CP, some brave and reckless moves, but full o'craic - apart from the embarrassingly cringe-worthy SHM-banishing-tantrum.
Well done, it was just as interesting a month as I had hoped for.
Btw, where did you bury Marcus's body?
A few people may not like him very much, but granted, he has done a lot this month. I'd say hes been the most productive presidents for a while.

Good month, sounds like it is time to take an eHoliday.
I want to be President. Ooo. Ooo. Me, pick me.
all hail ibhoy
Fair play. Ye did okay.
I thought this term was pretty good. We had fun and it was exciting. Can't ask much more than that. We have regions back from a total wipe and we took NI. We attacked London for crying out loud. That was a blast.

Marcus sleeps with the fishes.
There's fishes in rehab?
Colby were weren't totally wiped when Padraig took over.
Yea yea Chance it's ok, we all know you're awesome and such.
I didn't mean that we were totally wiped when Padraig took over. Poor choice of words on my part. My thinking was that both you and Padraig took us from a very bad situation to an attack on London and that was an incredible turn around for Ireland. I should have mentioned your contribution as well. Sorry man.
