I Believe So Hard

The primary is over, but there is still an election to win. There are a couple things I want to talk about before it's election time. No pics. No innuendo. Straight biz.
First things first, on eNPR last night, I'm like 99.999% sure that was Ajay speaking as Hannibal. Whether Hannibal is a multi or that guy just had Ajay speaking for him in a fake accent, there was definitely something weird going on. The accent wasn't that awful (although I'm not sure which country that was supposed to be), but some of the phrasing and terminology and cadence has Ajay's stink all over it. It was bizarre. I know I'm not alone in thinking that.
Regardless, AFA is the enemy. Ajay/Ronald Gipper Reagan/Hannibal is the enemy.
Why we felt the need to treat them 'fairly' and give them equal say is beyond me. A fair election program should've happened last week, on Thursday, in time for the primaries. Largo and Pfeiffer should've debated. They should've announced sooner, but those were the main candidates that people were choosing between. The AFA isn't a choice, it's a terrorist organization. We don't need to be fair to our enemies, we need to defeat our enemies. We need to be markedly unfair to them. Grow a pair.
On the topic of fairness, though, a fair primary should've happened in every party. The USWP is basically unanimous in their support of Pfeiffer, but they still had their say. The Feds were split, but Pfeiffer came out on top with 50 something percent of the vote when the polls closed. There is a policy that someone must be a member for 30 days before voting in a primary, but we relaxed that rule for the month because we've had so many 6th partiers joining us recently. They deserve a say as much as anyone.
AMP had a primary, I think? I'm not sure. It may have been like the USWP where obvious choice was obvious. Largo won.
That leaves We The People, which up until just a couple days ago, wasn't considered a 'real party.' It's full of patriotic citizens holding spots to keep the party out of enemy hands. They are serving this country by sitting in that party, but they weren't organized like a regular party. Most of them still call other parties home, despite what it says in-game. Gnilraps was the Party President, so he made his selection without much consultation with his fellow party members. Some of the party members decided at the last minute that they wanted to become a real party and hold primaries. Gnilraps moved forward with his endorsement anyway.
I won't attribute intent or motive to Gnilraps on this one. He's a guy who does things because he really thinks it's the right thing to do. Whether it was to avoid saddling us with a tie or because he has a thing for Pfeiffer, I don't know. But I find this situation unfortunate and personally wish the subject of a primary would've come up over there much, much sooner.
I am glad that We The People want to organize as a legit party in the Top 5. We need 5 (ideally 6) good parties to keep ourselves safe...so we don't have to do goofy crap like Unity elections where nobody is really happy. The winner looks like a hustler. The loser feels cheated. Supporters everywhere don foil hats. They are exceptional circumstances that are not the norm, specifically because it does so little for the warm fuzzies we'd all like to have in a Unity candidate. We can do it better, but not until parties are better.
I said on eNPR last night that I wanted to be VP right now because of all the crazy stuff happening with parties. The mechanics changes, disenfranchised 6th parties, and now a rather large party needing to go legit, and then there is of course the issue of a band of enemies occupying a spot in the Top 5. It's a lot of work and a lot to look at and consider and it may take a while to get everything where we want it to be (like months).
But without a strong Top 5 and without organized parties with active members and without understanding the difference between an enemy and a douchebag, our problems are only going to get worse. We won't be able to recover. Every month will be a scramble and everyone will grow tired of this. Many people are already there.
There are those who believe this is impossible. That's fine. I'm okay with people thinking we can't do this, as long as they don't go out of their way to hinder progress. For those that think we CAN do this, let's talk. The solution here isn't simply making PP's do whatever the gov wants them to do. The strength of a party isn't just their leadership, it's their membership. The members can make this possible and help the eUS become more united and more secure.
I believe so hard.
VOTE ARUNDEL!

I am very proud to have you as my VP
horny, too
duh
Still a Unity Candidate, the premise at least, is to help avoid further PTO's in CP Election until AFA is dismantled through region reduction. There's a good reason for it.

Voted Hard!!
Read well. This month we need to seriously support party activity, starting from the bottom (party members) and working down from the top (executive). The executive and party leaderships need to both heavily encourage membership in the top 5 legit parties, and encourage parties to get their act together and create strong party bases (like AMP, USWP, and Feds). We The People can be a good experiment for this.
A unified method should have been employed for the parties' primaries, but woulda shoulda coulda. Like it or not, though, time to take a bite and just move on. The issues at hand aren't standing idly by, waiting for a fair and equitable resolution, so we live and learn. I think we've reached a point where everyone's gotta do what needs be done. There'll be 31 days in which to work things out, afterward; it's unlikely this'll be the only month we call for a unity candidate.
Voted.

The eUS is screwed,
I don't see RGR comment yet. Although I prefer Hanibal's most.
Voted!
Voted and let's change the name of eRepublik to eOligarchy. I blame the admins for the mechanics change and we have to resort to this to keep eUS secure.
Very nice article. I know who I will be voting.
We don't believe in cheap politic.propag.
There are 20-30 players/AMP,USWP,WTP,Fed P/

Sickening says the sickened eAmerican. No vote.
Anyone who votes or serves with Pfeiffer should be ashamed of themselves.

And yet Sidartas shouts are "Help Serbia win".
@Sidarta - more like 20-30 players with the skillset and willing to put in the time necessary keep the gov't functioning well.
@Emperor Rick - it's not about serving "with" anyone. It's about serving our country.
Please, please try to take over eSerbia so that I can come back "home"

What is the point in buying votes for this article?
""The AFA isn't a choice, it's a terrorist organization.""

LoL
Classy stuff, guys.
So Pfieffer, who cant win elections in a fair manner is going to get his wetdream handed to him because he did what he does best, manipulated the system. Cant say we didnt see this coming when he announced his intent. He and his taint run deep in this country and now instead of 30 days of failure from his lackeys, we get 30 days of failure from the puppetmaster. Just hope he doesnt steal in this game like he has in a similar game for personal gain.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhaahahahahah
I just wish eCanada had this the balls to aggressively deal with their internal threats instead of insisting that: "If we are just nice to them, maybe they will change!" or "If we just ignore them, maybe they will go away!, You know, like mommy told us how to deal with bullies when we were fat five year olds."
Hail eAmerica!
Hi guys, sorry for the spam, please come to help us (albanians agains Fyrom, in Albanian Coast), now we are 70 vs 51, but we need some D3 e D4 help. If we loose this battle will loose the war. If Fyrom loose will not have 9/10 bonus for 2-3 days, but only 4/10, will be easier also for US.
It's very important.
We need only 1 battle, just 1 round.

Most of you know me and know I have good intentions for our team, team USA.
I had a long conversation with HanibalLA the AFA candidate for potus. I believe he is sincere and has the best interest of the USA in focus. Many of you believe he is the enemy and with all the propaganda from the elitist who wouldn't. The elitist have monopolized the system far to long. Now is the time to stand up and take back control of our country.
Vote for HanibalLA tomorrow and lets remove the grip of tyranny

"Most of you know me and know I have good intentions for our team, team USA."
Immediately negated by everything that follows.

This has been most entertaining so far, and I can't decide which will happen first....
INB4 Pfieffer decides that he will do what HE wants when he is president (because he KNOWS better), who cares what the people want.
OR
INB4 Hannibal wins because the people disenfranchised by the "Unity" decide not to vote.
