IUP Apparently the New Home of BAPS

Strangely on election day the group known as BAPS has decided to make IUP its new home. Silly me for thinkning earlier they might want to throw the party elections that could never be their intent. No way. The BAPS members : Inquitus, GeneralException, Clip, Moshea, Clodagh, dulpit, bandana and johthemany I am totally sure decided to join IUP on party election day for totally benign purposes. Not to mention there was an exceptionally obvious multi account made at http://www.erepublik.com/profile-1104431.html. Not quite sure who made it but I am sure that was just for fun too. And strangely enough new members join whenever I regain the lead. Infact IUP has somehow grown by over 20 members just today. What an interesting fact ! And to think it all happened on an election day. This all must be just a huge coincidence. Infact I am probably going fricken crazy because there absolutely nothing shady going on here.

BAPS gets all the attention, but poor lil USN or MCXA never get any attention. We\'re plotting things too. D=
LOL, these elections are the strange...
I\'ll make a bet with you patton. No matter how many votes you\'ll get until closing time, Igor will have at least 1 or 2 more than you all the time...
hey trinus, we wub you guys from USN and MCXA 😛
All of this takeover thingie reminds me of something overly criticized by most Irish parties.
Oh, the hypocrisy... this is the exact same thing, only on a smaller scale.
Em Jew Jesus, BAPS has noone running for leadership of any party, BAPS members are free for the first time to vote / join any party they like. It seems a small minority of BAPS favour IgorT and IUP.
BAPS has long believed eIreland needs 2 strong domestic parties, a vibrant opposition will create better politics. With ImaNewbie stepping down from IF and new blood taking over, this is an excellent opportunity for the main opposition to also make a clean start.
IgorT has friends across the political divide, in the IUP and in IF, he is the perfect candidate for IUP and for a more consensus driven Irish Politics. I also tend to agree in the main with his leftist economic leanings which are more in tune with eRep than Pattons far right economic tendancies.
Congratulations on your election IgorT, here\'s to building a better more unified eIreland.

You have puppets in both parties now. You have just removed from the race your competition. Hands down, patton never saw that coming...
That was something well organized, not just a simple \"Aw, i like Igor, i should swap parties on elections day and vote\". I really don\'t think IF was the one to decide who should be the perfect candidate for their opposition, but hey, according to the game laws that wasn\'t illegal, so... Good luck, Igor.
Inquitus sell it to someone else.
By Inquitus\'s own admission in the comment above BAPS is now trying to conotrol both of the major parties in Ireland. Inqui didnt like me so he came over here with 5 other BAPS members and made sure I could not win the elections. BAPS also did the same thing in IF by stopping Quartermass. The winner Fionn never even stated his intention to run let alone publish his positions. BAPS get out of Ireland you fricken cheaters and betrayers of Irish democracy
Can someone please explain the difference between BAPS and IR? are they factions of the same group? Are they taking turns at ruling Ireland or what?
Based on the media fury last month and the rallying behind Imanewbie I never thought this is yet another group using Ireland for their dirty games.
BAPS .. slave owners.
Now i see that BAPS is worse than IR, they are pure evil.
Jesus Christ Patton. Way to over-react.
And for Cormac, BAPS are a CN alliance that some of us play this game too, we\'re not some hive mind like Patton seems to think trying to control everything, Fionn is not a member of BAPS and neither is Igor, as Inqui has said this is the first time since we\'ve been playing this game we haven\'t had a BAPS candidate running, this wasn\'t some deeply planned attempt to do anything, we\'ve never hidden the fact that we disagree with nearly all of Patton\'s policies, he\'s kind of like a Victor lite, and since BAPS didn\'t have anyone running for election obviously some of the guys decided that they\'d vote for Igor, either because they liked what he standed for or they they didn\'t want Patton (who let\'s be honest, has been getting pretty cosy with Victor of late) in Power.
I really respect Igor and how he conducted himself through all this hissy fitting by Patton and he certainly seems like the correct choice by IUP members, but I personally disagree with a few of his stances, (e.g. Neutrality) and so I chose to stay in IF and vote there.
Patton is going to jump up and down crying blue murder, but this is just what Patton does, he\'s basically a teenage drama queen, when things don\'t go his way he takes his toys and goes home. When he lost control of the original IF, he set up a new party, and tried to win the Presidency that way, when he lost that, he set up a Victoresque (again lite version) private army and again left. It;s just what he does. I have no doubt he\'ll do the same again, although I wouldn\'t be suprised if he joins Victor and becomes the new figure head for that group... only time will tell though.
Also, hi there USN and MCXA didn\'t know you fellas were in eR never mind eIreland...
**lifts left eye brow**
Hmmm we\'ll have to watch out for you guys!! Thankfully you fellas understand diplomacy and what\'s best for an Alliance is more important than how much IEP you have in your account... LOL...
I didnt know that pointing out BAPS balant attempt to disrupt democratic elections qualified me as a drama queen. If that qualifies then you are a being a drama queen right now by getting so upset over me and so is Inqui as well.
patton you have gone too far here.
LOL, I\'m not upset, I\'ve nothing to do with this whole thing, I\'m a member of IF, but you\'re the one making me look like something I\'m not so all I\'m doing is defending myself, I can\'t speak for Inqui, but TBH we don\'t really have an option but to defend ourselves, otherwise this whole pantomine will get out of hand.
I understand now
The dreaded MCXA, USN, and BAPS... To be fair, a lot of CNers are in many browser based games but very rarely do they attempt to take over the place.
