[I&W] How many this time???

As most of you know we just had the congress election and this means that a new government needs to be assembled. The Belgium Party (BP) “won” the election by gaining the highest amount of seats and as result the Party President of BP, Murena was assigned the role as formateur (5 days ago). During the time that Murena is searching for a new coalition and assembles a new government the old government normally remains in place.
In practice this doesn’t seem to be happening as several ministers that have important tasks to do aren’t doing anything at all. Vanouze (BP), who was made Minister of Raws only a few days ago has disappeared and hasn’t done anything in several days. This is shocking as the Minister of Raws plays a vital role for our private businesses and therefore our economy. Especially since companies are lowering the prices on anything and margins are this small. It reminds me of Crow299 (BP) who was in charge of that department before him and he too was never heard from again. The only reason why this department has functioned only a bit is because of the extra ordinary efforts of Deviltje (I&W) who has taken over yet again (third time for this department).
So are these the only ministers that have failed miserably? No, just like Crow299 (BP), Rikoom (BP) started fresh and excited as Minister of Recruitment & Coaching and also disappeared to be never heard of again. So he was also replaced by another BP member this time it was Baab. Now to be honest I have never heard or seen Baab do anything as Minister of Recruitment & Coaching, he never wrote a piece for weekly news or never contacted the coaches (I am one of them so I would know). So I ask you, did you see Baab (BP) do anything?
And there is a third department where things went horribly wrong, and this is a key department!!! Perro Gaupo (LSD) started very well but resigned after awhile. LSD didn’t have a person of their own that wanted the job so they approached Pander Sol (Independent). He never really got started because he had health problems in RL (I hope you are doing better Pander!!!) so he became inactive but NO replacement was assigned. The result of this neglecting has been the current Money Market crisis and this has only been addressed by the efforts of Deviltje, Cocoamok and myself. It was us that started the procedures and got the job started (something the minister should have done ages ago). However, we have done what we could we transferred the gold to NLG and deposited it on the org of Ministerie of Economische Zak but we don’t have access or authority to the org and cannot therefore do the last view things required.
Now the first response that LSD and BP are going to give is, how about CEO Trainee (I&W) who was Minister of Home Affairs??? Well, CEO Trainee did most of his job but was unable to finish it all because of RL issues. What did he do? He contacted Deviltje (I&W)and asked him to finish the job, which he did. This wasn’t what he preferred but at least he took action to solve the problem himself and he made sure that the job was done in the end.
So as the new government gets assembled, without I&W this time (I know just terrible
🙂, I wonder how many ministers will become inactive this time. I hope that for the sake of this country and us all in it, that none will.

Nice picture if i may say so myself 🙂
yeah it dont load....
Well, we could make it a game or something 😛. "Guess how many inactive ministers there will be during this term". Hand out a price to the winner 😛.
Now to the point, Independent ministers and I&W have saved last government, as LSD and BP couldn't manage it on their own. I sincerely hope that they will be able to provide this Union with a stable and active government.
Nice article..
RepsaJ? whew, still alive mate? 😛
So mark how many do you think?
Welcome back repsaJ!!!
Hopefully things won't get any worse than the MM crisis. He's wishing for the best.
BTW Mark Decius, my bet is 3 Ministers will go inactive. XD
People need to be pointed for these jobs of which we can be sure they will bring it to a good end. Unfortunately, that was exactly what was thought of the people who were in charge but disappear😛 that they would bring it to a good end.
Voted ofcourse; nice article!
Good article
I bet 4 ministers~! :3
4!
i think atleast 3 will be inactive for more than 4 days😉
I just hope that you will all give the new ministers a fair chance, and not start comparing them immediately to their former colleagues when they're off one or two days...
Besides that you never know what RL problems might have occurred, this is still "just" a game for some players! (yeah, I also wonder why... I mean... come on! like I need a real life while we have eRepublik... 😒)
So this ontry is still sounding alot like the reeal belgium with their political system in ruins....
Ofcourse, but you can atleast indicate when something is more important, since many depend on it. But persons in other parties don't even get a chance anyway now, so hopefully they don't screw up again.
I agree with the inactive ministers.
I hope the PrimeMinister will do his best to get a active government.
voted!
I&W, just talk with GLD and form a government. GVD will support you
we all know deviltje runs the country...
Oligarch parties cough cough...
Good article
Sad to see how uN changed the last month's..
Let's say right now that no member of I&W become a minister this month. Then after this month let's take a look at the state of the eUNL and it's government... Could be fun 🙂
I&W clearly won strong backing from eUNL citizens to have a major stake in the new coalition government - I am upset that I&W cannot participate in government and yet again the power hungry socialists of LSD are back in bed with the nationalist BP.
lol love that there is no BP member response on this. i doubt anyone is shocked.
voted and i agree on it all
Yeah i am disappionted that no BP member (dares???) to comment. It seems like most of the party has also disappeared 🙂
NOBODY ASK ME SOME RAWS !!!! The only people who asked me something is cocoamok !
Maybe you should have made a post what is the preferred way to contact you. Nobody heared anything from you about the ministry.
I do not think necessary to make a post for saying that i'm the new ministry for only 5 or 6 days. The gouvernment made it to annonce that i'm the ministry of raw.
You can't really blame vanouze for that.
I suspect that GM's know how to contact the Ministry of Raws?! Shouldn't matter who is minister, there should be one fixed preferred way (I don't know which one... either PM to organization or post on forum?).
And if there is no preferred way, I'd suggest to get it in place. Shouldn't be different and in need of announcement every time there is another minister.
As said in the article i wrote in the weekly news i hardly have the time anymore to play this game let alone do something special.. I regret to have taken the job. However i did function correctly and on time for the first 2-3 weeks after which it went 0 activity...
People allready accused me of doing things wrongly or with the wrong motivations (such as the name change, See the article which i made) and that too had an effect on me. I did ask Deviltje to take the lead on the constitution. However no more tasks are appointed to me to do...
So all in all, i did my job and give out the Reg bonusses from time to time. What more do i need to do? The job is done... The govermentproposal is handeled and i do not feel to think of new ideas because if i do i know for sure some will say i have the wrong motivations....
Mais qu'est ce qu'on fout encore avec ces gens?
Tellement arrogants.
Tellement sûres d'eux.
/me gives nicoe a mirror
Sorry Vanouze, I contacted Deviltje for that 😳
the real question is will there still be a country then 😛
If there's ever going to be another government...
How long is it going to take?
@luuklag : no problem but says that i do nothing when nothing where asked it's a bit lot strange
Well, if this is real... We might consider there is a problem related to the BP... BTW, a big problem. I hope ministers will do their job for now. And make sure they have sufficient IRL time to invest themselves more in the game than others.
(complete out of subject : The ministry of raw is just the contrary of the ministry of war XD R.A.W. .W.A.R )
End of this article. Now let start to be constructive, shall we?
In my eyes critcism is constructive. How are we going to get better if we cant listen to critcism????
Ok, I start to be constructive then: I bet 0 ministers will be inactive 😉
We can ask Arte to start a prono 😉
The fact that I&W members are the most experienced players shouldn't guive them the guaranty to receive ministry functions, right?
If you never give a chance to newer players, then how would it be possible for them to gain experience?
A system of government in which you give a ministry function to someone solely on experience is simply undemocratic. Democracy is the change. Maybe you would have prefered a government of bureaucrats?
Personaly, I have confidence in this government and the new inexperienced ministers and I hope they will be able to bring some well-needed change in this country. This government seems to be a good mix beetween experience and change.
If you (plural form not only Mitch Rapp) are so concerned about this government and some of these ministers, maybe you could propose your support and your advices to these inexperienced ministers. I'm sure they would welcome you.
Or maybe you are just playing politics.
This article was published before the government was announced and as you can read focusses on the previous government. No where does it say that inexperienced players cant be ministers!!!! so i dont know where you got that idea from Murena. CEO Trainee was new to his post (i believe) so saying that I&W doesnt do that is ludracris.
Also I&W has never said that it wouldnt help the new ministers so again, Murena get your facts straight before you start saying things like that. Kixtart has already offered his help to vanouze.
And on the question if we are playing politics, what are you doing???
@murena, olv007 asked me to help the new minister of Raws. And i will help him. Just like i will help any minister if they have questions.
Mitch, you say I have to get my fact straight but in the same time you write an artcile in which you denounce two ministers of my party for being inactives. Vanouze already proves you wrong, so I could also say: "get your facts straight before slandering someone".
Then, you present your party as the experienced party and after the PP elections, you wanted to put I&W ministers at every vacant positions. You even make an article (or a comment. I don't remember) accusing BP and LSD to don't care about the sake of the country because they refused to have 8 (exaggeration. I will explain everything so you won't tell me to get my facts straight) I&W ministers in the government. So I think your opinion is quite obvious now.
I believe we have put together a nice government with a good balance beetween experience and novelty. You believe the contrary and that's ok but you are accusing people without giving them the time to prove themselves.
About the remark: "Or maybe you are just playing politics." That was nor a question nor an accusation but a simple observation. You are playing politics because you unfairly accuse ministers of "doing nothing". You do that because you are in the opposition and you are biased. Then personnaly and depending on what you mean by PLAYING politics; no, I don't think that's what I'm doing.
P.S.: the initiative of Kixtart is indeed a nice initiative.
Mitch, you say I have to get my facts straight but in the same time you write an artcile in which you denounce two ministers of my party for being inactives.
So you are saying that Baab, Crow and Rikoom where indeed active???? After all you are saying i am "accusing people unfairly". And about vanouze i received pms from people claiming that the minister wasnt doing anything so if he claims he was then that is interesting because someone is lying.
You even make an article (or a comment. I don't remember) accusing BP and LSD to don't care about the sake of the country because they refused to have 8 (exaggeration. I will explain everything so you won't tell me to get my facts straight) I&W ministers in the government.
I would like to read that article where i claim 8 ministers??? Because saying exaggeration isnt explaining everything.
You believe the contrary and that's ok but you are accusing people without giving them the time to prove themselves.
No time to prove themselves??? baab has been minister for weeks and Vanouze too. And AGAIN MURENA this article was written BEFORE the government was announced it wasnt aimed at the new government!!!!!!
Ok so you arent playing politics but you are the head of a poltical party in a game where politics is one of the main things. What the hack are you doing in erepublik???? Enjoying the weather???
So for you, someone who posts little is inactive?
You are too funny, guys!
Of course there's that bit of news, because it's quiet for now in the inscriptions, the ebabyboom is past, and therefore there is very little recruitment (although I do a lot of ads on different sites)
You might think it should be in top forum to be "active" and "experienced", but I have a life after this game, and I do not need to post tons of messages to be effective
And yet, the inactive win the election with a large majority, you should make an introspection. 😉
Great comment Baab!!! I took you 2 whol days to come up with this so excellent work!!! You dont even post little and you are human unlike us all (i mean we dont have jobs in RL or friends or anything like you).
So excellent job baab. The UNL thanks you for your excellent work!!!
LoL ! xD
If you do not know what to say, you'd better not say anything.
"The fact that I&W members are the most experienced players"
Interesting how they gravitate towards Iron and Wine, perhaps a failing in the establishment parties?
