Questions and issues

Whats going on in the eIDF?
A few weeks ago when Joshua Hoss was first appointed as General of the New eIDF I reported there where issues with him and the Ministry of Defense. It appeared to start out as communication issues but from what Im hearing now the eIDF staff and the Ministry of Defense refuse to cooperate or work with each other and there is a major Communications Break Down.
Both the Ministry of Defense and the eIDF Staff are working on teo different plans for the overall restructuring of the eIDF.
Neither communicate or work with each other and now the MoD has resigned/retired over conflicts with eIDF Staff (general) yet this announcement was only made on FXP which has been acting as the defacto Forums of eIsrael and then people complain why we are so divided. Ive heard that the resignation/retirement was also made because theres not enough money for the eIDF?
So basically we where all hoping by the time the new Military module came out that there would be a working eIDF in place to protect our nation. Right now theres nothing in place only organization and leadership failures and lack of communication between different branches of government.
This is terrible and we need some answers and we need some results. Both the Ministry and the eIDF staff should be working together for a solution to the eIDF.
No one including the Knesset Defense Committee has seen a full copy of the MoD's Plan or the Generals plan for the eIDF. The Knesset reserves the right to oversea these kinds of matters and offer input and ideas. Right now that isnt happening because of this break down in communication and cooperation.
eIsrael has plenty of capable people who can create a strong well organized eIDF but right now no one is working together and we arent tapping into our manpower.
Theres even more controversy because New DCOs being brought in are from outside of eIsrael. I support this cause we need capable people more then ever but if its creating a stir and I hope in the future it will not lead to internal dissidence and people not following orders.
This has been going on for quite some time now with no results and this country hasnt had a working military IN MONTHS.
Did you read that we have not had a functioning Military IN MONTHS.
Ive said this over and over again and no one seems to care but isnt there something a little wrong with a country having no organized or functioning Military to protect its Borders?
If turkey was smart enough theyd attack us right now and conquer us for good. There even preparing military drills:

Besides this we have issues with lack of jobs low paying jobs and the economy overall.
I have brought up many times that there needs to be more government transparency regarding our government run companies. Who is running them? If there is anyone running them why where they chosen? How do these companies get funding ? Where are these companies? Are they fully operational and employing eIsraelis who need jobs?
Ever since the Babyboom when we liberated ourselves from the Turks there has been shortages in jobs and not enough efforts made to ensure we maintain the babyboom.
Many people have asked about our new citizen message? No new Citizen message has been proposed so im assuming we are using the old message which wasnt good. It wasnt translated into Hebrew and it included no link to the National Forums.
If we want to make new players active and get them to participate at least have them aware of our national forums.
Are any efforts being made to ensure new players remain active and dont die? If so can we be told what is being done?
Then we have the Issue with FXP vs the National Forums.
As of now we have a national forums which has been in use for quite some time and is Hebrew friendly yet many dont accept it as the national forums and continue to use FXP as a defacto national forums for the Hebrew Speaking Community,
This isnt right and this is a major factor in the division of our nations. If we have two groups of people who arent even using the same forums to communicate with each other how do we expect people to cooperate at all? Thats why we have issues like the MoD and General not getting along.
In the Previous government announcements where ONLY MADE in FXP and everyone else was out int he dark.
I have no problem with using FXP as a gateway to bring in and help new players but as of now it is operating as a defacto forums with no effort being made to redirect people to the National Forums.
At the same time its being abused for Political Purposes. New Players there dont hear or arent exposed to other parties ideals or beliefs and people including high level government officials get away with saying stuff on those forums that they would never get away with elsewhere.
Something needs to be done and we need some answers for all of these issues from our government. Divided Country, No Military, and the Economy hasnt picked up. This is BAD.

Whoa...?
whoa is right aeroner
Voted!
unless every english speaking person in this ecountry will start to use google translate and write stuff everyday in hebrew. this is going to be very hard. and fxp will stay the defacto national forums.
@PK - when I first got here I used google translate and was begged by several people to stop and ask for translation from a person instead. SO I did that, but had to wait days, even weeks to have things translated so I could post them. Eventually someone suggested I use google translate again, so I did. Result? Again I was begged not to do it in avery strong terms. So, once again, I have stopped. I wish y'all would make up your mind. Is google translate acceptable, or isn;t it? If it is, don't bitch when people use it. If not, stop suggesting it!
sometimes i use google translate but then people get pissed at me so i know what you mean
maybe there is a better translater out there
Mae pretty much summed it up. Use the eIsrael Forums instead of fxp as it supports both languages and people can translate at their own pace.
fxp is a hub of forums, and I assume most use it for other game forums, so the migration will never occur. It is what it is. Let's just try to be friendly with each other and be in communication as much as possible.
maelyn you are example of a near to perfection. my comment is directed to other people. not you. how you conduct in forums is should be mentioned in stuff of legends.
The overall problem is there is no transparent government body:
1) Use the forum inside erep as national forum. Its obvious, and thats where young players will tend to look (or divert from there if must)
2) Googledoc all Government Orgs (and who are responsible)
3) Googledoc all Government companies (and who are responsible)
4) Googledoc the IDF in an organigram
Make government and the one responsible clear and transparent for every citizen.
Joe theres no Israel forum in erepublik yet.
Google docs are/have been used and are useful but wont solve the entirety of the problem.
And on the forums. This is an ongoing issue of fxp. And Matanb chose to announce on FXP. But official government announcements from the office of the president are never made on FXP first. You can keep on banging about how the glass is half empty, but I'm working on making it half full, at least...
Wow FK you had a opportunity to simply address these issues in a polite civil fashion but instead you went on the blame game.
You not only accused me of taking part in the destruction of the eIDF you accused me of bringing down the government.
What is this?
This is ridiculous.
Can you even explain what the AoZ did you destroy the eIDF? The eIDF was long gone by the time the AoZ came around. People are so quick to use this beaten old excuse but they offer no reasoning behind this thinking.
Please explain to me how it hurt the eIDF.. Please because I am generally curious.
You do understand the AoZ was also disbanded weeks ago? Whats the excuse now?
This problem has gone on long enough and every time I raise the issue instead of sensible answers I hear blaming and excuses.
Anyone who brings up concerns or dares to ask questions suddenly becomes the problem. Thats whats wrong with this country.
You had a great opportunity to present your case and explain to the people whats being done but you completely ruined it .
Shame real shame eIsrael will have another term of blaming excuses and suppression of any legitimate concerns.
WTF
and anyway there's no suicide bomber option or genocide option in the game so why would you even bring up stuff like That
@Joe Franco,
1) you really want us to use the public forums for our government affairs? nothx
2) agree, but to be given to the use of the cabinet and some wings of the knesset.
3) agree " "
4) do not agree army should not be open to everyone.
Gavin=Vogon!
Kill Vogon, make eIsrael free!
FXP sucks big time!
"The situation in V2 is bad, for many countries. V2 economics has been a bad hit for business, a global no-war period has been even worse." FK
Not every country is having probs ; only country where goverements want the fast dollars and greedy companies wish to fatten their pockets.I warned you of these. With slave driving/low paying companies and greedy goverments; countries are sure to fall.
Is it better to collect $1 from 1000 people or .50 from 3000 people ?(income tax collections)
@PK .. FXP are public forums as well. everybody has access, whereas in the national forums we can limit access as we wish.
@Gavin .. i told you to take this article down. every person who can speak english or uses a translator can read this. this is highly inaccountable, to give information about the condition our country is in to everybody. Also i think that FK is not playing the blame game, as you call it, but he is defending against YOU playing the blame game. You just critizise in your article, no constructive critizism, but bashing.
MrsJ is running the government companies since very long doing a very good job. If you want to piss her off you are on a good way, but she does the work ( remember, running a company is not done in 2 minutes ) and if she leaves, government companies will share the same fate as the eIDF did after Maelyn left. Then you'll have transparency about nothing. Why don't you contact her by PM and kindly ask about the companies? But instead you take the big hammer of selfrighteousness .. no need for that. I tell you, delete this article, publish it in the forum, and try to help, not to blame.
@LTARtat2 .. of course, in big countries with a lot of players the situation is not as bad. but look at the wages in other small countries and at the number of job offers and you'll see, that it is not the fault of the gov't.
Unless we use a forum, that everyone agrees on (already impossible) we will have a divided communication.
At least 50% of the Israeli's do not read FXP, so I rather option a open forum inside erep, at least the communication can get through.
(there is always a possibility to loop rather secret msg to another board).
Googledocs will at least give an open and transparant view of government orgs, companies and IDF.
@daniel, and who said i like fxp for anything ? 😃 i think it sucks too 😃
This is a mess and not really constructive or helpful in any way. I'm talking about the article and most of the comments.
Daniel please show me where in the article I blamed FK yet alone anyone for the problems. Ive asked questions ive Brought up unaddressed issues and ive raised concerns yet this appears in your mind to be a form of self righteousness.
If anything this is Constructive criticism. Ive been saying that something needs to be done to make the different branches of government work together. Ive been saying there should be more government transparency and new citizen message released. Ive been saying FXP needs to no longer act as defacto official forums.
Ether you failed to read the article or are purposefully being hypocritical.
No where in my article did I attack or balme anyone yet franz is very quick to attack and blame me rather then provide reasonable and sensible answers to my questions points and concerns as a president should.
So far this seems to be a country of like 6 or 7 people just arguing amongst one another. Seems like there is nothing going on here.
Gavin, such articles ain't helping co-operating.
if you have any issue with someone SOLVE IT OUT, if you are considering yourself as kind of a leader - show some leadership and stop all those criticizing acticles every single day.
