Stand for Austria
Rangeley
Occasionally, certain people decide to claim entire nations as their personal property. Austria, unfortunately, is the site of the latest such individual: A.Emmerich.
The media is filled with his declarations, many of which are childishly embarrassing, such as direct copies of speeches from Star Wars - but others are actually a bit more telling. As his stated “justification” for launching this PTO, he points to an impeachment attempt against him begun by a “communist.” If you even take a short glance at their account you will see they are actually a member of his party and also came from Hungary.
This attempt to parallel the Reichstag fire (even down to its false flag nature) gives insight into who exactly has declared Austria his personal property - although with the anti-semetic postings by members of his militia it should not be a surprise. They represent some of the most hateful, repugnant viewpoints possible: several even have the symbolic number “88” in their name whose meaning is quite clear.
What He Can Do
Even so, much of his rhetoric about what he wants to do here is overblown. It’s simply not in game mechanics to censor political opponents, he obviously can’t deploy secret police or any such thing. He can call himself emperor, sure: you can too and it will carry the same weight. This is fluff and ultimately a distraction.
What he can do, however, is aid in the immigration of more Kurucs to Austria. He wants to build his base here which can overpower the rest of the community: making it irrelevant and disconnecting it from any active role in Austria. He hopes to weaken the nation, starving out opponents and solidifying his own grasp.
Motives
His actions do not help ONE, or Hungary. The Kurucs have a history of putting real life nationalism ahead of ONE - fighting for instance against allies of Hungary, earning them great distrust there. Austria is another example where they take hostile and destabilizing moves against an ally of Hungary.
His actions obviously do not help Austria - having a vibrant community that allows new citizens to rise up has certainly been abused, but it, more than anything else, keeps the game enjoyable, keeps people returning back, and keeps trustworthy people from leaving the country and perhaps eRepublik itself. Moves to supplant the community clearly run contrary to this.
His actions seek only to benefit himself, and the Kurucs, in gaining a strong foothold here.
The Community
We know what they are planning to do. Though they fill the media with bluster, it should be remembered their objectives are far from met. They do not have a majority yet, in citizens or in congress. They desire both, and will aggressively pursue both.
We know, therefore, what we must do. We must work together as a community, trying our best to stop the growth of the Kurucs - to reject their citizenship requests, to hunt their multis, to fight for control of congress and the presidency. It will not be easy - challenging times lay ahead. But we must be up for the challenge.
We must stand up for Austria, and protect it against those who wish it harm; to show even in the darkest of times, the hope for a free and independent Austria shall not perish, and that the heart of Austria beats on within us all.

Mama, I'm famous!! Can you hear me mama, come, look at it!!!!
A sane voice in this mad e-world, if there was one. All the very best in fighting your PTO. If you need an extra vote anytime, let me know. o7
You are the only one who have multis, look at your MU, and I see your spies in our MU.
An😛 KURUC, not Kuroc, Rengelay....
I agree...
I will stand up for Austria
Re: Rockwell 88
If by famous you mean you posted an article that got deleted for hate speech and anti-semetism, then yes, that is a certain type of notoriety.
What you mean by fighting allies? I dont remember such thing. Please explaine.
If we speak about real life nationalism or anti anything then ASM is in first place for garbaging my rl nationality.
We are not bad guys at all, we dont want to harm anybody, we love you guys : P
No, I mean you have written about me, that's why I'm famous : )
Strange thing you haven't replied for the multis.
Don't be so angry, now you have also a far-right wing in Austria, not only left, and center wings.
That's how the world goes, look at it so as some fun has come to your Land, now you have to
unite, be more active.
Even more people are writing now articles in Austria.
It's not real life, it's a game, so play it as you can, I don't hate you, or anyone here.
We gonna fight together on the battlefield, and fight our political wars in the political partys and elections.
„It’s simply not in game mechanics to censor political opponents, he obviously can’t deploy secret police or any such thing.„ - Rangeley
You are absolutely wrong. One only need to get the top five parties and opponents can not set CP candidates. One only need to fill up the top five parties with enough loyalist members, and before the congress elections the loyalist PP simply exchange all the congress candidate to loyalist ones.
This system will ensure that people like some of you won’t cross their own rules, won’t steal our money and won’t poison our community anymore. This system is just perfect. Join the Empire!
The stated goal, Rockwell, is not to introduce new politics: it is to end politics in Austria through the brute force of having 70+ people who will form a voting block to overpower all others. As Emmerich says even under your post, there will be no place in Austrian politics for people he disagrees with. As he also says, he will try to move as many Kurucs in, with or without anyones consent, whether it is within the rules or outside of them. None of this was done in the open: every action has been deceptive, from the first Kuruc to the fake impeachment, to now. This moves well beyond the realm of simple politics or friendly disagreements: it is a political takeover.
We saw it before from Croatians, at least we could understand they would have something against Austria because they were EDEN. We know a takeover when we see it. However it is a new low to see one from Hungarians - and from a group that claimed to be pro-ONE but reveals itself to be anything but.
You Huns just make yourselves look bad. I hope that anti-semitic attitude will get you beat the fuck up in RL. Hell, I wanna go to Hunland right now and beat the shit out of you.
And re: Emmerich, none of that explains how you would censor the media - because of course, you can't. As I said the game mechanics do not allow it.
Long Live Independent Austria!!!
Rockwell 88 = A.Emmerich. Can a senior mod find evidence for the multi case and ban both accounts?

You are a noob priest Mikrobi. : D Rockwell is Marszellusz

@Rangeley: Emmerich brings in 70 Kurucs to secure the state from scammers and agents of the enemy military allience.
The Austrian Socialists and their allies bring in 200+ 'ATO-ers' to secure the state from Emmerich, a president elected adn REELECTED by you, before the Kurucs 'TO-ers' even appeared.
Emmerich offers cooperation for everyone from every nation, who wants to help eAustria.
His opponents called us nazis and _cockroaches_, and by the help of foreign 'ATO-ers' want to send us back to 'Mongolia'.
After that you call Emmerich an enemy of the state, and they the saviors? Are you really that naive, you think the 'help' you will get from these very generous and seemingly eager 'ATO-ers' won't cost much to eAustria?
apad_lehetnek +1
Oh my god how can you write stuff like that without puking? Seriously? You come here to eAustria, CLAIM IT AS YOURS, without even done ANYTHING good for eAustria, harming it, destroying the democracy, and you STILL claim that you do GOOD for eAustria?
You sir, are an idiot.
VOTED!
STAND FOR THE EMPIRE!

destroying the democracy, and you STILL claim that you do GOOD for eAustria?
Yes, democracy is bad for your health : D
apad_lehetnek, Emmerich is the scammer as he has continuously lied to Austria about his intentions and now openly admits he has lied to this point. Obviously he does not plan to bring more Kuruc here to protect Austria from himself: he plans to use them to solidify his power. It is a bit silly for you to say people have nothing to fear, and that they will have a place in politics, when Emmerich himself posts above you saying he wants to prevent all others from participating.
Not all others just some of the thieves, commies, and TEDEN fans. : )

Mmm, I saw some words 'bout impossibility to create a police here to shut the opponents up.
well, being in eKGB I did. everything is possible here
HEHEHEHE DIS IS THE GAME PPL🙂
I just state my own opinion - for me it does not matter who is CP as long as he/she can provide sufficient cooperation & follow the agreements. So far current CP was not able to enough support for even one Czech RW (and we were helping you a lot) and this way he does not follow the agreement between us so this so called "empire" is standing on the "mud legs".
Huns, (Magyars whatever you want to be called) GO to Mongolia, your rightful heirs 😉
"The Austrian Socialists and their allies bring in 200+ 'ATO-ers' to secure the state from Emmerich, a president elected adn REELECTED by you, before the Kurucs 'TO-ers' even appeared."
Another obvious lie from you.
"His opponents called us nazis"
You are judged by your actions. As usual sunshine 🙂
