My Resignation from the Ministry of Defense
![Ireland](http://www.erepublik.net/images/flags_png/S/Ireland.png)
Igor Thunderbrow
In light of recent events I feel that it is my solemn duty to resign as Minister for Defense.
I have to say that the president has always been hard to work with however, calling my good self an "asshole" was a step too far, especially when added to his already frequent attacks where he questions my character.
I must ask why I was appointed Minister in the first place since the president has such a low opinion of me and never got involved in any of my ministerial proposals.
Therefore I find myself unable to work under this government and I hereby resign as Minister of Defense, effective immediatly.
Thankyou,
Igor Thunderbrow

Well... as once again Igor is unable to explain the whole story, and give all evidence, here is the exact snippet of the forum post where I called him an asshole.
Igor, until the point where I became president we got on perfectly fine, helped each other, and everything was good.
I became president, and since then you have become a complete asshole towards me, you twist everything I say, everything I do. You attack me with things that pre elections you agreed with me 100% on, You use ideas and comments posted by myself as your own. You try so damn hard to get people to think that you are the best, you have amazing ideas and that your the better option, when in reality you clearly show serious failures in leadership, knowledge of even the basics of economics and frankly your political abilitys are a shambles, and going around constantly mud slinging all the darn time is childish and pathetic. Do not sit there and claim I wont listen, or I dont communicate, I spend hours each day discussing so much on IRC regarding eIreland, and economics. Ive spent hours with you, seamingly agreeing and understanding what ive got to say, both to your questions, and on what im doing, for you then to instantly turn around and use it against me, or throw it back in my face and claim utter crap about me.
Now I appologise for ranting, but after 3 weeks of utter crap from Igor ive really begun to have enough, I understand this is extreamly unprofessional but Igor just doesnt stop...
is this true
@shadowking - which bit? what ive said, yes its true.
@Shadowking:This is true.
I will not even bother responding to 5n4keyes' comment. I think that it is clear enough from what he says, the reasons for my resignation
@Igor - Nope its not clear, I to be honest only ever had an issue with the way you conduct yourself towards me, I have no issues with the work you have done for the defence of our country, and personally feel that your leaving was very premature and you should reconsider your resignation. Your position will be left open until such time a replacement is found.
Igor delete this, as 5n4keyes said ye have problems with each other not how ye work
He called me an asshole. As I said, a step too far.
I have outlined my reasons above and to be honest I have been considering this for over a week at this stage, his recent diatribe pushed me over the edge.
with the two different versions presented to us it looks as if Igor may be overreacting. And i hope we get a replacement soon as i hoped to step down after the next presidential elections and let someone else take the reigns.
The two different versions?
I don't disagree with what 5n4keyes' has posted.
That is what he said in full.
If my boss called me an asshole in RL, I would be out of there like a hot snot. Likewise in eRep.
saying your an asshole and saying your acting like an asshole towards me is two different things. If he called you an asshole in general you should be pissed but he said your attitude towards HIM is that of an asshole. IS it?
And what recent diatribe?
If he thinks so then I should not be minister.
He says that I "have become a complete asshole" towards him.
not that I am acting like an asshole.
Recent Diatribe would be seen in that comment and any of his recent comments directed at me.
As Usually, Igor.... better stop this until you wont go bellow the floating line... i thought you are a clever man... but each day passing by, proves i was wrong...
If you truly wanted to be minister then you wouldnt let a first term president dictate your actions. You would stay the course and finish the commitment you started. Your setting a bad example for the armed forces.
Amroth..oh Amroth.
What did I do without you the past few days?
xx00xx
Wow, given whats been said in the past by you Igor, I think that whats been said by 5n4keyes is pretty light!
Hes used 'asshole' as a description not as an attack, and to be fair, everyone knows what is ment when you say 'asshole' its somewhat better than a big long list of politically correct words that can be said incase of offense.
Resigning from a Minister position so quickly clearly shows how little you cared about the position you was in! Any normal person would of just continue working and prove whats being said as wrong, only the guilty run!
to all the readers, i said once that Igor is worse than Victor Petrescu even, and believe me, Igor has started to show his true nature... few more days and time will prove more and more that i was right... Under an altruistical appearance, a very big egoccentric person is hidden, a person that shows up only in important moments of arguing and fights... Beware, such an unbalanced person should not lead the wheel of Ireland...
Again I did not take this decision lightly or quickly, it is the culmination of a long series of events which I feel have left me with no choice.
I will not be part of a government that treats me with such animosity and contempt. I have lost all confidence in the president over recent weeks and in his government. I cannot continue to be part of a regime that I do not believe in.
What have you done Igor, you have just showed how can you keep a word. i have asked you that talk to be private, you were agreeing that, then, hungry for political capital and people to see how good irish citizen you are, rushed in the media and made all public. In the end, on the long term, showing how you can keep your word, think it would help you? People will see your true nature, Igor, little by little...
As some of them have seen my nature, behind that i came here with mr. Petrescu, and that i am one of the romanians who made a takeover.
On the other hand, you should kiss 5n4keyes's feet, due to him you still own eirefood today.. there's no need to speak more than that in here, certain people know what i mean, or if they dont, i can answer privatelly
Oh, and by the way, Igor, if you had enough, i can DONATE you some travelling tickets, perhaps you would wish to become the soultan of eNepal...
Well whether I should or should not lead the "wheel of Ireland" is pretty much irrelevant and not up to you or me my dear Amrith.
I have been active constantly for a good while now. I however only got to grips with the new newspaper function (V1) yesterday so most of my activity has been on the eIreland forums.
Egocentric...I don't think so
Altruistic appearance however is nice, so thankyou Mr Amroth.
And in terms of hidden personality, what you see is what you get as far as I am concerned, my attitude here is my attitude in all eRep affairs and to a large extent, in RL.
what you see is what you get?
aha, and mr President HAVE DONATED ME 20 GOLD from his very own pocket, to upgrade Caesars Food at q2, in order to save your EireFood Company and now you are attacking him??? is this "what u see is what you get"
sit down, please, i am disgusted...
What Amroth is referring to is 5n4keyes' payment to him of 20GOLD to upgrade Caesar's Food to Q2 to stop him from pushing my food company and other Q1 companies out business with his monopoly plans. I would have much preffered if this was not done by the way.
I also never agreed to keep anything private and I do not do that. Anything I say can be freely quoted and I will not agree to a private conversation, especially not when you want to bribe me 🙂
I see that Mr Amroth posted while I was typing.
I didn't want the president to do that and in fact I was quite disturbed that he did.
Igor I go out of my way to ensure that everyone is happy, and able to run there companys, and that workers are ok.
Your not the first person ive helped since ive been playing eRepublik, I help people on a daily basis.
Saving your company was one of these things, you even admitted yourself that you would of been made bankrupt within a few days, and then I sorted things out so you wasnt, also note I did offer the gold to upgrade your company too, to which you declined.
I am not going to criticise you over that here. I made my thoughts known at the time and you do have my thanks for saving my company; I would however have preferred to have gone bankrupt than see Amroth gifted money from the state.
That is however completely irrelevant to this article.
it was not from the state, dont try to turn it in your favor. He donated me from his very own pocket... Jesus, Irish citizen, look at him, look at what lier he is...
and it is not irrelevant, it shows that u lie!
Apologies, what Amroth says is true.
It was from 5n4keyes' personal a/c.
My point remains however. I was unhappy to see Amroth rewarded for his monopolisation attempts
31 comments... woooooha
hmmm, and my last message said eIreland was getting quiet, how wrong was I lol
True enough, this has a ridiculous amount of comments at this stage.
Evidently I have made a large number of enemies 🙂
That is me in bed anyway.
I am afraid that any more comments will remain unanswered until tomorrow evening, so you can say what you wish 🙂
I have to say your in the wrong here Igor.
This isnt the first time since Snake was elected that Ive noticed you trying to bend events and ideas to fit your preffered public opinion.
While you are a skilled communicator,I will admit,you do not have the credentials to be president and even though you arent,you seem to be acting as if you are.
A lot of your ideas,although admirable simply would not work here.
The maroth situation was a prime example.
Backed into a corner,you wanted to give in,rather than do a prudnet move which snake did,and come to an agreement.
How you can refute this agreement,especially when its your companies that were saved is beyond me.
I may be percieveing things wrong,but my opinion from events over the last month,has basically been damaged.
You seem to keep trying to slate Snake in public,for perfectly good things,to demand that either wrong or unsuitable ideas be implemented while trying to steal credit for succesful ones.
I just feel regardless of how you feel about yourself,you arent the person to lead Ireland as president.
Also,if you decide not to forgive and forget,I would like to apply for the place you have left behind,and help Ciaran with the Ministry of Defense.
TG
ffs,
why is my ability to be president being brought up?
I know I said I was going to sleep but I just had to have one more peek 😢
If I am capable of being president I am sure that the people of Ireland will see that and vote for me in the presidential election. If I am not I am confidant that they people of eIreland will not vote for me.
I have not even announced my intentions to run for Irish presidency yet. We are only 2/3 of the way through this presidential term!
I also am shocked at the suggestion that I would steal credit for anyone else's idea.
It is not my intention to slate Snake over anything.
I will however always criticize and decisions that I feel are inadequate and I have been terribly disappointed in the lack of response that I have received from any questions I have raised with the president. That is my concern and will continue to be my concern.
and if I rambled apologies, I really should be asleep now...
"It is not my intention to slate Snake over anything."
Re-read your article in the morning,cheers
I did not slate him, I explained why I could not continue as minister.
Now please do not post for the next 10 minutes...please...🙂
Sigh,I'm not even going to bother..
Goodnight all.
I'm agree with our president here. 🙂
This is all bad.
I don't understand your problems with gary,
he's somewhat the most open-minded person I know..
limit yourself mate, it's little use fighting an enemy that doesn't qualify an enemy.
just watch along, erep seems to be dying anyways. even little me has less and less urges to play these days.
theres really no point in everyone debating about this situation,we should just forget this ever happened
i cannot forget Igor is starting to show his true nature, nature already anticipated by few ireland's citizens
You might have said that before...
My true nature was never hidden.
As I have said before in answer to the same accusation:
What you see is what you get. I am the same man in every walk of eRep life and for the most part in RL....
