Freedom to Choose: Larni's Final Address.

Firstly, I’ll say I had no idea about the previous KH announcement and
probably would not have run had I known that they would not be endorsing me despite the agreement we reached to drop taxes to 10% for the benefit of all. Though again there was no actual vote there, just a PP who made the decision, that is 3 who have done that and not allowed their members the right to vote instead endorsing srg.
You need to wonder about their motivation, seems simple enough. Its about money and greed, not pride and honour. That said, I do thank the KH’s for at least allowing the eAus people to make a choice rather than continue down the road and simply forgetting the reasons we have fought so hard for so long.
I will use this last article (in theory) to simply point out a few things and summarise my stance. In case you hadn’t noticed the main issued for contention is the deal with eIndonesia, a deal made by the big business people to put gold in their pocket at the cost of the nations honour.
The incumbent CP himself makes enough gold that he uses ALL the training facilities and self funds his own fighting. Presently he sits at over 10k str and possesses a ranking of World Class Force **
Obviously that means he is making some serious money out of the peace deal and why would he want to change? When the decision is to make money or risk the possibility of being wiped, of course there is only one road he can go by.
The list goes on amongst the players who have formed their own little clique against change. They are the businessmen, raking in the gold while the new players and average players struggle to survive. They are the backdoor politician and business men reaping in the rewards and sacrificing the rep of our nation in the eyes of our former allies, and former bros.
They are the voice that scream ‘Do not fight for China” even though the only reason we have a country at all is because of them. That is not the action we should be proud of, and the FIRST TIME eAustralia has not stood with their mates on the battlefield fighting oppressive tyrants? It has only happened over the past week or so and many of us were simply that ashamed of that that we ignored the Gov orders and did so anyway.
It is those people who remain the shiny light of all that was good in this nation, it is those who remember the face of our fathers and give our Bro’s hope that this island is not lost, that our people have not truly surrendered.
Our government is afraid and scared, rightly so, they have the most to lose. But at what cost to the rest of us?
We rarely get the NE bonuses these days and many have failed to complete the bonus missions because of this. Many of our biggest guns, are off shore, aligned with other countries and even some of the Aus business men are not Australian based, though they speak with the voice that they are.
We have people in eChina, eBrazil, eUSA and others for various reasons, there are construction bonuses obviously but when you can get training bonuses for fighting and training daily what soldier would not move away so that they do not fall behind.
We have a mentality in eAus that we look after the clique players, that nobody else is important. Granted there are half assed attempts at bringing in new players but it is a little surprising how much is ‘in the works’ that never gets implemented.
The decision eAus faces is perhaps the biggest in her life and many of you will receive scripted messages detailing who you need to vote for. Ignore those messages completely, I will not be sending any out though people may still decide to do it on my behalf. You will certainly get messages from the political powerhouses. They are like telemarketing calls, they will make it seem like they took the effort to contact you directly where in truth all they do is press one button on a script.
People will attempt to use fearmongering, they will tell you that I am the darkness, the herald of the apocalypse who will lead this nation to its end. They will say many things, lie and manipulate, twist and contort the essence of this election.
eIndo will always invade us upon a whim, they will take our land and our freedom regardless of any deals made. They have done this continually in the past and deep down we all know the only hope of preventing that is to join them, align with the nation who have abused our nation relentlessly.
I have too much honour and pride for that. I have stood on the field of battle as the world came to our aid and wiped eIndo off our lands countless times. There are no greater days in erep. I was there when Java burned for the first time, after suffering years of abuse we torched their capital and laid waste to their nation.
This is a game, everything happens in cycles, eAus has been wiped many times in the past but we always are returned because our friends will not let us go silently into the night and be forgotten. This time around our friends must stand back and let the will of the people make that decision.
Do we turn our backs on our allies and bro’s who have fought so hard for our independence, for so many years, who have sacrificed their own funds and finances to protect us against eIndo’s relentless aggression?
Or do we stand with honour and pride, as eAustralians?
What is the true cost of this freedom? Is it worth sacrificing everything we had fought for?
I say no. I am not interested in business men raking in the gold and political deals that force eAus along a certain path. These are decisions to be made by Senate, not by those who have the most to gain. I am a freedom fighter, I have always been a Freedom Fighter and the fight for eAus will never end until the people get the right to make their own decision about the destiny of our great nation.
When it comes time to vote that is the choice you are in truth making.
Freedom or Subjugation.
It really is that simple.

I would reply to that Tim but you obviously fail to understand the article and simply feel like attacking without checking previous articles and making an informed decision.
I do thank you for your opinion, it has been noted, and probably explains why there are certain members of my cabinet. Dont cha think.
If you wish to be a good leader, instead of merely an egotistical, easily led one, Larni, you must first learn Humility.
Voted
This article is too long to hold my interest. Thought I'd read it but now I'll just leave a "Testware was here".
eIndo's don't respect humility greenimp, they walk all over it as the last two months have shown.
I do understand what you are saying, but there are times and places for it and there are also times when you must be strong and self assured.
Its like a tap that needs to be monitored depending on each situation. It would serve me no purpose to act all humble as I am pointing out that our Gov have done nothing but approach eIndo on bended knees.
its so sad that eAus govt wont back China up. To me they are our number one allie and eAus govt took a giant dump all over them for being scared of Indo. Just goes to show how disloyal this current govt has been to its best allie.
it's also hilarious to listen to tim_holtz's condescending crap at every turn, like he has this omnipotent knowledge no one else can ever come close to. it is one of the true sources of comedy in Australia.

So on one hand you say you will stand up to Indo, but on the other you say you won't break the peace, so what does that mean? Does it mean you will RESIST if we are invaded? Guess what, that is what we have always done but you cannot fight the numbers, and eventually every time without fail we are wiped. Allies are great but they will not sacrifice their own countries goals to keep us safe from Indo.
Larni fancies herself a great war leader, yes we have fun in short term periods of liberation but her own ego is so large she cannot see that long-term outcome of a campaigns. She counts success as winning a few battles, I count success as providing a stable prosperous Australia where we have a functioning market (yes people need to make money) and the opportunity to vote.
As for the evil business cartel that are running Australia, well anyone who has tried to make serious amounts of money on the market know that it is preposterous, fact is that most people that tank and strength train probably buy gold like me.
Many of Australia's top hitters have left recently, I think the reasons are varied but I left because I could not stand the bs like this article, we are fighting over the carcass of eAustralia and sadly I have decided its not worth fighting over. I seriously think eAustralia would be better off if every single citizen left today and left the future to all the new sign-ups, we have had a chance and we have stuffed it.
(corrected srg's rank to WCF** I had an additional star there)

AVT is my hero... AVT4CP
RE: "The incumbent CP himself makes enough gold that he uses ALL the training facilities and self funds his own fighting. Presently he sits at over 10k str and possesses a ranking of World Class Force **"
This is a fallacious statement, and I'll explain why: I decided to do a quick test on strength vs. days alive, using myself as a benchmark (Seeing as I haven't used any training other than the default facilities and the bonus from working daily, and I've not missed a day). Dividing strength by days alive gave me a score of 10.1 (213 / 21) which we can consider the average score for a player.
srg91 scored 10.37 (10,754.21 / 1037) Which suggest that he has, in fact, been using some gold training, but not a significant amount.
Interestingly, Larni, when I decided to test you for a comparison, I was surprised to see you netted a score of 11.21 (8,487.23 / 757)
This leads us to the conclusion that even with missed days, of which you've both had a great many, you've spent a higher percentage of gold on training than srg has. It's the pot calling the kettle black.
Dismiss this out of hand if you so wish, but this is out there for everyone to see now.
actually Crusadercarl spent over 1000g on my training as is well known and not hidden.
You having a sugar-daddy is hardly disproving my point.
of course its not disproving anything greenimp simply clarifying and responding to your point. Yes I have had a lot of gold donated to me. It annoys people endlessly. CC is not the only one.
If someone offered to fund you with no strings attached would you accept it?
Gordy tried to just the other day and I refused, so no, I won't accept anything that could even remotely be considered a bribe.
aren't you forgetting srg hasn't always been active in those calculations? also that at one stage 3 training wasn't always an option
>"to the conclusion that even with missed days, of which you've both had a great many"
>"even with missed days"
>"missed days"
READ THE ENTIRE THING BEFORE COMMENTING ON IT FFS.
"AVT is my hero... AVT4CP"
You must really hate me for wishing such a position on me : P
lol AVT
and greenimp what Gordy did to you was an attempted bribe. Its good you didn't accept it.
Jc I have no idea what that formula thing is but it seems to be something people have discovered in an attempt to see who has been more active or something.
Doesn't take into account IRC time which I assure you srg has spent more time overall than me working behind the scenes so its hardly accurate.
A lot of people are relentless but only use basic training, how does that come across?
Its just not relevant at all.
Doesn't take into account IRC time which I assure you srg has spent more time overall than me working behind the scenes (over the years) so its hardly accurate.
just fixing a line.
"its so sad that eAus govt wont back China up. To me they are our number one allie and eAus govt took a giant dump all over them for being scared of Indo. Just goes to show how disloyal this current govt has been to its best allie."
I could not agree with you more infin
Australia really really needs a change from the corrupt clique that presently runs it.
It's a shame that 90% of your platform is simply slinging mud at your opposition, Larni.
Hardly corrupt Louise, refer to AVT's post.
aww binda trying to manipulate things again.
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-time-for-timid-and-meek-is-over--1936887/1/20
Platform is there if anyone wants to check if she is lying.
Sorry, Louise, who the actual f*** are you? Because as far as I can see, you're some random Irish bint from an extremist right-wing nutters party who just comes over here to try and stir up s*** in the Aus media.
Why are you even here?
[22:52] it is funny how agressive people are over a silly little CP election
Anyone wonder why eaussie can't get their s*%t together? Case and point, read the comments.
Good luck Larni, I hope you win 😃
Actually Xanthar, it would be boring if we did all get along like you do in eNZ. People are not afraid to speak there mind and it is refreshing compared to other countries.
Thank you Xanathar, hope you win over in NZ too, it would be awesome if we both got through.
In Australia there is plenty of drinking, fighting and %^king.

Best of Luck Larni
LOL.. fair enough Callumh123.
@infin in Australia there is plenty of drinking, fighting, and sucking? I think you missed the "F" mate 😃
hey be nice Xan 😛 lol
GL Larni!!
( . Y . ) 4CP \o/
All I read then was "You need to wonder about their motivation, seems simple enough. Its about money and greed, not pride and honour. "
You simply can't just say that even though they are not officially backing you thanks for giving you an opportunity to run.
Hopefully eAus cits see through your BS as you are just digging yourself a huge hole
There goes 2 minutes of my life that I'll never recover.
Hi greenimp \o/ you don't seem to know much about either Australian nor Irish politics & people do you?
And wern't you getting all hot under the collar & politically correct a bit back about supposed (imagined) racism in a thread.
Maybe you should apply your standards to yourself & be a bit more respectful in how you refer to other people. I mean "bint"?? Who says that these days - you got it out of a book about porn in the 50s I reckon.
Callumh - I was painting with a broad brush, obviously not everybody but generally yes corrupt is how I would describe some of the carryings on.
It happens less now than it use. Transparency has been more evident in the past few months than the 6 months that had preceded it.
Best of luck to Larni in the coming vote!
Also, I think the unity found in eNZ has been a benefit to our nation and I truly hope with time eAustralia and eNZ can find a sort of unity to work together as well.

"about supposed (imagined) racism in a thread"
You've clearly not read the article at all. It wasn't racism, it was extremist religious propaganda condemning non-believers in the vilest possible way. The article, by the way, is here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/a-truly-infuriating-thing-happened-to-me-on-the-way-to-the-forum-today-1933023/1/20
I suggest you actually READ it this time.
And you still haven't answered my question.
Did I say your thread greenimp?
Seems your stock standard answer to anybody who questions anything in one of your threads is for that person to actually READ your precious thread.
I will tell you this, though I have never done such a thing, I suspect it is probably easier to polish a turd than glean anything of value from your postings.
We both know YOUR thread was a tirade about the offensiveness of religious propaganda where you helpfully posted the propaganda all over again; doing the propagandists work for him. And you just did it again now. Has it occurred to you that you are the promoter here.
We both know that your COMMENT in another thread (I cannot remember who & can't be bothered enough to hunt back) was in response to a statement that most eAus players were RL Australians - you somehow took this as a racist statement.
Now a bit of advice for you young greenimp - Ask me a question courteously & I will probably reply - your question & post was offensive & I treated it with contempt. I would suggest you think about things a bit more before you rush to print.
