Here's a question for Syrup:  Why do you have a US military border if you aren't in the US military?

I am in the military, I just haven't updated my border for the new branch I am in

Unfortunately, you won't be in the military after the stunt you pulled.  People have been DDed for a WHOLE lot less.  The military is one of those entities that takes things seriously.  Lulz do not amuse them, much to the chagrin of some people here.

Wang, you are such an innocent virgin that I expect 30 of you to be waiting for me in eParadise.

Can you really discharge somebody from the military for making a bad congressional decision?

Pretty sure it's already happened.

For many people, what makes this game fun is taking things seriously.  I have real life to goof off in.

Who discharged whom for doing what?
I was DDed for an article I wrote but reinstated afterwards but they can certainly DD you for what they want. its the military and they're in charge

According to his latest article, it wasn't for "lulz" but rather to cause some commotion is Congress, which doesn't debate enough according to him. More honorable than for lulz, I suppose, but still a really bad idea. Also, I agree that Zoli isn't the type of player who would try to PTO us (note: you forgot about the possibility that he becomes a senator and starts approving Phoenix citizenship for PTO's), but the risk is JUST SO HIGH that it really wasn't worth it. At least he apologized though, and, yes, an apology does mean something (at least to me).

Yes apologies are nice, but it doesn't change the fact that it is done. I don't know much about Zoli but he can't be good if so many people don't want him and Josh does :P. If he wants to make a stir up in congress he could try to get new people in there, not bring in a potential threat that was just not the right idea.

Thank you Dan, I have more respect for you than I did previously, Also at Tiacha, I wasn't asked to change it, but I will.

I understand. Also, this has all (mostly) been worked out in the #eus-congress IRC.

He did publish an article about this: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/an-explanation-and-apology--1208831/1/20

Maybe we should vote it up to get word out about this decision's background (I did).

Like I said, Zoli getting citizenship is no penguin bowling big deal. Emerick got Serbian citizenship, Jewitt just recently got hungarian, are they crying about it? Hell, Hungary probably has hundreds of romanians with their citizenship and they failed to even make an impact. Calm the scrab down everyone.

This entire thread is retarded.

Grow up and have some fun in the game!

Stop denouncing and shunning a man because he has a different opinion.

Syrup has more balls than any of you for actually doing it.

Yeah, but Zoli is remarkably special. Hungarians love him, Romanians love him, Americans love him, etc. The way he trolls is unique in that it's affectionately insulting. Just the right mix. And yes, I know that Jewitt has Hungarian citizenship. Did they try and arrange this citizenship swap, or was that just a rumor? Emerick is sort of like Zoli, but he's disappeared, and you are most definitely not going to sacrifice me again.

Stop defending this dumbass move.  Dumbass move is dumb regardless of explanation, apologies, etc.  It only serves to allow the enemy's primary propaganda mouthpiece with another forum by which to create drama, disrupt the eUSA and otherwise be the assbag he is.  If you think that isn't OBVIOUS then you all (and particularly you Syrup) are even more penguin bowling stupid than we have ever imagined Congress and the eUSA to be.

You think that helps to serve the enemy's propaganda piece? Their propaganda piece is this retarded discussion of hanging syrup because one guy got citizenship. I never defended his move, nor would I do it. I just think its penguin bowling stupid that you guys feel the need to overreact to this extent. If anything, this penguin bowling debate about it is hurting us more than Zoli actually getting citizenship.

WTF, does our Congress not even penguin bowling care?  Why not just approve everyone and who cares about the PTO potential?  I am getting SO penguin bowling TIRED of the "lulz" shit that is going on.  I don't get pissed about much but this one takes the penguin bowling cake.

So much for the Zen.

Syrup has balls of steel.

There wasn't that much of a use for approving his citizenship. I mean, it's Zoli, it's sort of obvious that you shouldn't approve his citizenship. And you should have considered the fact that most of the country doesn't understand the irony in Zoli's top-quality propaganda, and would get a rectal prolapse upon hearing about something like this.

However, those aforementioned rectal prolapse victims need to stop worrying. Zoli can't become a congressman if we send in votes to elect the American candidate. And, I'm quite sure that we'd definitely know of a congressional run by Zoli ahead of time and would be able to pool enough ATO voters together. Zoli can't become president unless he gets party support. AFAIK there aren't any clandestine Hungarian parties in the US. And even if there was one that could endorse him, I'm p sure that the government could put out a successful media campaign to tell two-clicking voters that Zoli is a Hungarian. It's not hard at all.

Like Chisholm said, this is just Zoli being Zoli. He's incredibly smart when it comes to pissing off countries, and he's done a really good job this time. Once again, Syrup has balls of steel for being able to withstand people yell and shout at him for a relatively minor thing. High five brah! o/
