Improper Citizenship Approvals Are Insults to Many
You, yes you! Stand still laddie!
*SIGH* Well, tonight has sucked ass. There have been not one but three members of the staff fired, two of them close friends, St. Krems and cesog-fillireb. You see, I have become quite tired of people getting US citizenship outside of the preferred system. Worst of all, this last event granted well-known PEACE and PHOENIX leader GLaDOS citizenship. If it were a deliberate event by a member of Congress that would be one thing. But just as once before, a link was sent around PMs and spammed in IRC that was disguised. It actually linked to the citizenship approval button. Any member of Congress that clicked it would have approved the request.
Who actually did what isn't important. What is important, to me at least, is that this sort of action is both an insult to those working in the Citizenship Task Force (CTF) and Immigration Enforcement Subcommittee (IES). More specifically, people like Max McFarland 2, Astra Kat G, rainy sunday and Dell Fargus put a lot of time and effort into checking citizenship requests and flagging those that are suspect. Circumventing this process renders their (and others') hard work pointless.
Finally, I'm going to be accused of being a tightass, of needing to "lighten up" and "have some fun." To rebut this up front - I don't have a problem with humor. This isn't it. We already face a PTO effort every month and shit like this only compounds the problem. Besides, I'm not happy that we've lost three citizens from my administration who were very helpful and did great work, especially St. Krems. cesog-fillireb says he's going to quit. Aersidius appears to have gone completely insane. I just don't know what to say except the following:
Any member of my administration who assists in circumventing the work or CTF and IES or any Senator that approves citizenship for someone that does not follow the guildelines of CTF or IES, regardless of the situation, will be dismissed from service in my cabinet. Yes, this means that if someone clicks on a hyperlink that leads to a citizenship approval they will be dismissed. Senators that serve in my administration, fair warning, CHECK YOUR LINKS BEFORE CLICKING ON THEM.
E Pluribus Unum. From Many, One.
I'LL SAY IT AGAIN: Together we have strength beyond measure. Do your part. Follow DoD orders. Fight with weapons. Maintain your wellness. SUPPORT THE CAUSE.

The cake is a lie, GLaDOS 😛
so who else is moving to aussie?
I know this wasn't easy. Thanks for doing the dirty work, PiZ.
This is getting rediculous. I hope we can survive this.
All congressmen should go to the TinyURL site, there is a option you can set that will show you the link the shortcut is brining you to.
Go PIZ for being the big pig and addressing this. I sir give you my respect
I don't think you're being a tightass at all, in fact I think Congress needs to get their act together. Too much silliness and lulz, not enough important stuff getting done. There's two many 'blockers' getting voted in who are completely useless.
What kind of retards don't check links before making that it is legit? How their computers are still not running and not riddled with Trojans, Worms, and whatnot is beyond me. People need to take important positions more seriously, too much lameness in Congress right now.
preview.tinyurl = your friend
Can i get emerica citizenship xD
Future member of USA president cabinet
now that I actually read the article, that's a bit strict. Accidents happen, and there will be new ways found by enemies to get congressmen to click links. When the offenders are on the inside, such as St. Krems, it is hard to prevent this from happening.
Thanks for putting this out, PIZ. It needs to stop.
are you going to deal with whoever gave citizenships to this guy 8 days ago? http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/daniel-dimow-for-aap-party-president1-1250737/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/dani[..]1/20

Civil Anarchy officially did it.
Don't forget us in the BIN 🙁
Daniel Dimwow is a high level Bulgarian with Pheonix affiliations apparently
Vote, no citzy for me!
indeed.
Sorry, yes, BIN needs awareness too and I had completely forgotten about Civil Anarchy - I took his name off the "props" list.
Good job PiZ.
Swapping out our government officials for furriners, one grant-and-fire at a time. Fun times all around.
Wow! Voted.
Aersidius for POTUS
Voted twice, once for the actual article 2nd for the pink floyd reference
heh I;m sorry but Astra Kat is a false person I can show you 2 arts about that 😁 Vary funny girl 🙂 should be in the kitchen 😛 😃
Srs Biz is Srs Biz.
Agreed Mr. President. Good to see you're trying to keep standards up, even in a semi-playful game in this one. Sorry that you had to fire them members though 🙁

There are also some senators, such as syrup (DC); Terry Mcdougal Isenthram (SD-- who let in both Mr. Woldy and Ajay Bruno, aka Pizza the Hut) and Civil Anarchy, who let in the Bulgarian guy, who really need to be de-elected next time.
I hate to ask for a McCarthy-esque witch-hunt, but it appears that there is a genuine effort to PTO the US.
In the last election, the least populated state required only 3 votes to elect a senator. This congress has already let in enough people to win them a seat. If they win, they can let 40 PENIX'ers for the next congressional election, and so on.
You misspelt my name 😡
Maybe I will just stay overseas for the time being...
well said, and I think any senator that engages in this type of behavior should be censured and banned from the congressional boards. We can't kick them out, but we can limit their ability to do harm to this nation.
Votato
Finally, someone who doesn't take someone's shit.
You did the right thing. If people were that careless about that, they probably would've slipped up again, maybe in something more serious.
The Briefings say conspiracy, this paper says mistake. One implies intent, the other stupidity. That's an important difference! ANyway, anybody dumb enough to click a link without checking where it goes shouldn't be running the government.
MV Anarchy is one of my multis. And yeah, Astra Kat G is definitely one of Ajay's multis.
@Kell
I would like to speak for those of us in Congress who do not partake in idiocy like this. In light of recent events, you would think not clicking on links in IRC would be common sense.
The actions of few doesn't make the ENTIRE Congress inept.
I always check links, never clicks on ANYTHING in IRC and actively serve from my elected seat. I take it seriously and many others do as well, so please don't lump us all in into the suck. 😃
Some of us do our jobs and actively work to further America. We have done several things over the last two months including a new budget, tax reforms, a rewritten Constitution, procedural changes, etc etc. We do work, I do work, so I take a bit of offense to the fact that you assume its all "lulz" I certainly don't spends hours upon hours of my free time pouring over shit on the forums for the hell of it, I do it because thats what you have to do in order to be an effective and informed Congressman.
Those that do not need to be voted out of office, period. Seek out the best candidates in the elections, arm yourself with two moving tickets and venture out into the non fortress states and vote for them. Thats the only way this recurring situation will improve.

Agreed. 😑
Well done my man, while others talk about leadership, you are showing what it is all about. Go, PIZ, go.
Well done, Sir.
