CP Update Day 1113
John Gormley
Good evening eIreland.
So, a lot happened to today and unfortunately not much was positive...
eUK Invasion:
The plan last night was for USA to hit Shannon and we would RW Cork and Kerry. The good news was that USA were able to take Shannon from the UK. The RW didn't exactly go to plan though, and we had to settle for Dan Murchadh's RW in Dublin.
Today, we were fighting to try to secure the Southeast (our last region) against the Brits, as well as trying to win that RW in Dublin. If we don't win one of them, we will have no regions left and this has terrible repercussions such as losing our MPPs, losing our parties and companies for good and eUK gets what is left in our treasury.
The one positive would be that we would have our war with eUK ended and we could RW away without the fear of eUK attacking us.
There is still time left in the those battles, so please fight in those if you can so that it doesn't come to that. If we can save one or both I think we could be okay.
We are trying to get allies to come help us but Canada and USA are very busy in their own battles, so it's difficult.
God forbid it, but if we do get wiped out we will be prepared to RW our way out and get our country back.
Report on the Ministries
I haven't had much chance to check up on Ministries other than DoD with the invasion going on, but the respective Ministers are getting down to work well.
JohnSmith 2K9 released a first article today for the Foreign Affairs Department.
He is particularly looking for new ambassadors and I would strongly encourage aspiring Government politicians to apply.
I have made brief contact with James Keiller and Jacques Cousteau about the Community and Immigration Ministries respectively. They are ready to get going and I am expecting they'll have articles out in the next day or two.
I haven't heard much from other Ministers (with the exception of MoDs ofc) but I am confident they are doing a good job. I will be able to keep on top of the Ministries more once this invasion ends.
Relatively Insignificant Things to Report:
- I explained before about how I had no campaign goals set due to a bug. I actually got a response from the Admins yesterday but they can do nothing (surprising I know...😁
:
"Hello,
We are currently still trying to figure out why this thing happens; it is an issue that occurs randomly and it does not occur to everyone.
Unfortunately, the goals cannot be added now because there is a risk that more bugs will occur if we do this.
We are very sorry for any inconveniences created.
Best regards,
The eRepublik Team
- Today, I finally remembered to open my TM for winning the CP election. I have donated the rewards to New Ireland Bank. Please remember to keep donating what you can to this org.
- The impeachment vote against me is going to fail in another 10-15 minutes. I don't know whether to be grateful towards Fear Malice for keeping me in the job for another 7 days, or angry for trapping me in this work-intensive, stressful job for another week at least. 😉
Seriously though, I am glad and I hope I will complete the full month and represent you well.
That's all I have to report tonight.
Éire Abu!
John Gormley
You very tired President
Comments
So...Is there a plan mapped out IF the UK takes us out? I have not seen anything yet. I think there should be some discussion going on here. Where were the votes to transfer funds from the country accounts. Should have been up already.
I just think that the Dail should have been instructed to get some real plans together but I guess we will wait until we are wiped out before we start planning out future.
Also, if we win the RW in Dublin don't we gain the initiative against the UK? Are we ready to launch an attack?
Nothing against you John, first days in office and all 😛
If the Dublin Resistance War fails can I get tickets from the government to move somewhere? I'm almost dead but will revive once I am able.
the RW will succeed
Hiring Irish workers, avoiding UK taxes and getting Food stocks built up for our return...http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/celtic-league-to-employ-irish-citizens-1597920/1/20
Sorry to hijack you John.
"Also, if we win the RW in Dublin don't we gain the initiative against the UK? Are we ready to launch an attack?"
The War with UK is now closed Don, we will not be attacking anything for quite some time
"I just think that the Dail should have been instructed to get some real plans together"
They were instructed to sort this out-

Yet could not even do that much right.
John Gormley has the potential to make a great President imo, just such a pity he was left with things in such a state.
btw, over a million damage from the ICA today. Not bad goin by your friendly neighbourhood traitors.
😁😁^ This.
"btw, over a million damage from the ICA today. Not bad goin by your friendly neighbourhood traitors."
I resent this remark Ibhoy
I'm not that friendly
nor neighbourly either
😁😁^ That
Congrats on getting Dublin back, unfortunately most of you have overlooked (or at least not mentioned) the worst part of having the country wiped out. There is no Irish economy anymore (queue RL jokes).

Every company from Ireland that was ever created over the past 3 years is now located (seemingly permanently) in the UK. Seems to be a consequence of the new economic system. Anyway it looks like your entire economy has to be started from scratch.
Gormy mentioned it in the article MC. Seems like a stupid rule to me, but hey, I am sure the glorious Dail will sort everything out for us.
You're right he did (should be big and in bold though 😛)
Yes it seems like a dumb rule, perhaps the admins didn't think about the consequences of their new system (wouldn't be the first time!)
Hopefully the "one time migration" thing the Admins were talking about comes along. If not, another fuckin stupid fail by them.
@ Michael Collins: can you explain how it is possible that companies are fully UK?
Isnt it so that when for example Dublin is back in Irish hands that all companies in Dublin are Irish again?
Interesting discussion.
"John Gormley has the potential to make a great President imo, just such a pity he was left with things in such a state."
True but his ability to sort this "state" out will define his presidency.
