This country is in a state of emergency. Its not an emergency like when Indonesia attacked us, and it's not an emergency when the Channers prepared to make their move. It's an emergency based on short sightedness and less than stellar leadership.
People are leaving this country. That's a major problem. It's almost become trite to say we want a baby boom. But one thing that's even more important than gaining new player is keeping the old ones.
Why are people leaving? Because our leadership has allowed one single issue, complained about by one single man to become the focal point of every single person in South Africa. Ben was banned from the IRC. He threw a fit. He published an article. And it should have ended there.
But it didn't. The entire nation was preparing for war with Argentina, but with no movement from the president's office, everyone allowed themselves to be distracted that we're now calling this idiot drivel the 'IRC Wars'.
Where is our president? Why does he not reach out to South Africa and provide unity and stop this stupidity? Mark! Stand up! Do something! You're the president for God's sake. And your silence during these issues is one of the worst things you could possibly do.
This is the time to shine, Mr. President. You need to find some inspiration and do something now.
Right now.

Agreed !!!!!!!
Am I the only one who thinks that Mark has been a consistently great president? The 'IRC War' could have been handled better but nobody would have done it perfectly and he has done what he felt was right for the 'victims' of the unfairness and ultimately all of eSouth Africa.
"People are leaving this country. That's a major problem." i wanted to live in North Korea 🙂 but can,t !!!!!!!!! (due to Russia Multis and Pto'ers)
I'm mainly concerned about what happened to taking WC.
I dont see how fighting for freedom and ending oppression is "idiot drivel" but w/e.
Really? People are leaving over Ben's issue with IRC? Where do you get that information? Please provide something as evidence... any facts will do.
The entire nation has been less active since the channer attack... it's a miracle we survived the invasion. And not everything has to do with the game... sometimes real life makes people step back. I, for example, was at my father's deathbed in January, preached his funeral at the end of the month, and have been catching up on work and life ever since.
Last summer there was a period when eRep was in trouble because of bad economic modeling, people were aggravated and leaving. Maybe folks are bored with the current model. Maybe, like me, they are afraid the new model will be too time consuming for casual players. Or maybe they just miss the old sense of community we had in eSA.
Bottom line, the claims that the President is a weak leader or that Ben's complaints about IRC are unfounded.
Thanks for the support, brinn. Its nice to have some people who dont support the public lynchings going on here.
"I dont see how fighting for freedom and ending oppression is "idiot drivel" but w/e."
I don't see how one man's futile and infantile struggle supercedes liberating one of our regions...but W/E.
What DTM said!
Also, I'd like to know in what way ET is supporting "the public lynchings goin on here".
Can we expect rants about "the Elitists" from Ben soon?
