I've had enough of the Emerick bandwagon.

Emerick is the one manning the horses
Ladies and gentlemen, this afternoon, S.E.E.S. officially passed the United Independents Party as the #6 party in the eUSA nation. I cannot say I'm happy about it happening, and I have a strong opinion about it. We haven't seen a party surpass the UIP as #6 for a long while. When I looked at the party list and saw that S.E.E.S was #6, I was shocked, which led me to a sense to write this article.
It's been about a week since Emerick created a party, a party that has already managed to gain over 260 members. Firstly, a quick briefing. For those who are living under a rock, S.E.E.S is a party built by "The Great Emerick". Emerick built the party from scratch, and immediately made a dominant impact in newspapers and politics all over. From what I understand, SEES was also a mercenary group controlled by Emerick during the PEACE era. Anyways, before the PTO against America was announced the day before congress elections, and people left S.E.E.S to help the effort, there were about 250 members. After blocking efforts started, there were about 230. What does that say about our nation? It says that this nation, the eUSA, will join a man because of a name he still holds but does not deserve anymore. It means that we still have faith in a man who has been sent to prison, posts furry pr0nography and is a troll to the media (though entertaining, completely anti-serious), just because he was the greatest president the eUSA has ever seen. Don't get me wrong, being the greatest president of all time is an accomplishment reserved for the gifted, but it's time for the eUSA to wake up. That was over half a year ago. Sure, I know what you guys are thinking, "who's this guy to talk about the great Emerick, he wasn't even around then" and "a half year isn't even that long ago". Well, to you I say, a lot of things can change in half a year. In half a year, for example, we had no progress in USA health care - now we have a basically passed law that will reform the whole health care system. In half a year, someone can go from super-tuber awesome ally lover president to a complete media troll. eRepublik is only 2 years old, and Emerick has been a part of it for almost the whole time. Oh, and that half year? Emerick was gone for 3 months of that. GONE, as in VANISHED from the entire game. We didn't hear from his at all, and yet, he comes back and we've got new players praying to him for no reason at all except that the elder folks call him "great".
I know I'm not the only one who is tired of the Emerick bandwagon, which seems to be destroying our nation, piece by piece, every single day that passes. In reality, I've seen people all over the nation express their distaste for S.E.E.S, including Josh Frost. Plain and simple, it's only because I feel that Emerick is a has been that is past his time. He almost got elected as AAP president after taking a leave of absence in prison! When he lost to someone who is actually active, Max_McFarland_2, he decided to cry about it and start a whole new party. People start having spontaneous orgy's at the sound of Emerick's name, and in my opinion, it's time for the new crowd to take over. Let the next eRepublik generation make decisions, and leave the oldies out of the things that keep this game alive. Why should a party that has done literally nothing manage to have such a dominate impact? Before the structuring and political views article was even released there were dozens and dozens of members in S.E.E.S. The article announcing S.E.E.S. had over 400 Votes. Emerick is a media whore, desperately doing anything he can for a way to have power, and his ways are going to have to change before I decide that mine should.

Dude, it is fine to have an opinion but you are wrong on most of what could be considered factual. Stop over at #SEES on IRC, they are relatively tame compared to what people make them out to be. Emerick can be acerbic but you are wrong about the guy and this is a total smear.
The only time I see Emerick is when he's either trolling or complaining in #usa-chat, so I stick by what I say. If I want to take him seriously, he should act like he's serious more often.
Say in prison some more. I don't think you said it enough.
no vote/unsub
>Emerick is the one manning the horses
ARE YOU CALLING ME BLACK!!!?!???!?
Im definitely subscribing to these comments
>I know I'm not the only one who is tired of the Emerick bandwagon, which seems to be destroying our nation, piece by piece, every single day that passes.
This nation was destroyed when I came back. When I left, we were thousands of citizens strong over many of our enemies. Past administrations and citizens have failed to keep interest high enough to keep people coming back. I've stepped out of the limelight before, and this is what happens. Just saying. You guys suck at getting people to play with you.
You say that SEES stands for nothing and has done nothing, yet I clearly laid out our very simple ideals and plans. We are a group of conquerors who are committed to winning at all costs. Why? Because we suck. And people are leaving because we suck. You want retention? Stop sucking. At everything. We rock at economics, but that's about it. I'm filling a gigantic and necessary gap.
Also, you spend a lot of time trying to say that I'm irrelevant, and at the same time bitching about how many votes my articles get. Contradictory. I'll also point to the fact that you people have done nothing but sucked and bitched in the last 3 months, and let you decide who you'd rather have running things.
Finally, you actually tried to accuse me of "PTOing America," which is just stupid. I'm an American, and I always have been. Our top party is a complete waste of space, and continually fails to live up to its implied duty of leadership. I aimed to change that. As an American who saw a problem with our political system, I'm well within any rights you can make up.
>The only time I see Emerick is when he's either trolling or complaining in #usa-chat, so I stick by what I say. If I want to take him seriously, he should act like he's serious more often.
Do you even try reading my articles?
Now, I never purposely implied that you were trying to PTO America. Although I did say you're destroying our nation, now that I look back, I really shouldn't have said that, because creating SEES obviously doesn't mean you are. But in my defense, it's 2AM and writing this was the only thing keeping me from passing out on the couch.
Now, about the sucking part; congress is run by elitists, like the ones in SEES. You plan to elect Woxan as president, yet he's been in congress at least 5 times. What difference can SEES possibly be if all that you plan to do is keep the same people running the same things. Change is something that we need right now, and SEES has no potential for change, if you ask me. It's just the same thing in a different package, a package with you running the show.
I never denied you didn't change America. You were the #1 president of all time, and I know what you did. I never denied you weren't the best, but the fact you took such a long leave and come back expecting everyone to praise you seemed so...wrong, even if it really did happen. I know in fact that you're serious sometimes, but I keep seeing articles your posting, and they seem more and more like spam then a person trying to make a difference. For example, your article about MM2 during the AAP campaigns seemed rather edgy on the side of trolling vs. seriousness.
I have a large amount of respect for you Emerick, no matter what this half-assed muffled article says. But, I'm still going to stand by it (at least most of it)
*Grabs some popcorn
"You plan to elect Woxan as president, yet he's been in congress at least 5 times"
You apparently dont know anything about Woxan either. I read a few of your articles and you arent stupid. You do not know what you are talking about in this case. Emerick is cultivating a group of people in SEES that dont find other parties appealing. You can dislike the way Emerick goes about things but he has helped create a space for people that would have other wise not been active and productive.
Why wouldn't we support Woxan to be president. He's a good man. Maybe that's why he's been elected to congress 5 times, he also is above most of the bullshit that turned the country from great, to festering pile of bloody semen
*Grabs some popcorn x2
Woxan is a great person to have as president, I voted for him a few months ago when he was running against Frost (Or was it Jewitt? Can't remember right now). But, I was under thought that the goal of SEES was to change the way the eUSA is right now. By gathering people that would normally be inactive, or uninterested in politics like Michael Porter said, I would figure that SEES would endorse someone new and someone who is willing to take a risk - and not a long time politician.
>Now, I never purposely implied that you were trying to PTO America.
I read that right when I first read it, but then when I was writing my comment, I had a faint memory of the term "PTO", and I ran with it. Oops.
>Now, about the sucking part; congress is run by elitists, like the ones in SEES.
There's a huge difference between us and them. They are merely power hungry politicos who simply know how to win elections. We are a group who know how to manipulate the people and mechanics in the game for our favor. Just look at our congressional outcome. We won eleven races, and that was our first race. It was the first congressional race that I've ever orchestrated, and it went beautifully. The #6 party in America controls 1/6 of congress. That's power. And that's our power. The congressional races mean nothing, though. It was just the first test of our abilities. As time goes on, you'll continue to see our power, and our power will become America's. I'm creating a more productive America, not just circle-jerking, like the people who you're referring to.
>the fact you took such a long leave and come back expecting everyone to praise you seemed so...wrong, even if it really did happen.
I agree, but it is what it is. This is a good thing, though. People want a reason to enjoy the game, and just being a part of a lackluster nation isn't going to cut it. With a simple clickan game like this, a strong and clear leader is optimal, so. You're welcome.
I agree with you Emerick, a strong leader is an absolute necessity in a game filled with such weak modules and materials, and that's what you are, a strong and powerful leader. I'm glad you understand from my side of view as well, it makes me feel a little better.
I guess I did misunderstand the way SEES exactly planned themselves as a party, but I do still feel that some people joined just because it was run by The Great Emerick. You claim that you're not power hungry politicians, and that's a good-no, great- thing, but before I take anyone's word for it (even yours 😛), I need to see how SEES does as a part of the nation. I need to make sure that power doesn't corrupt the people of SEES like it would with other parties, and the next few months will be the playing field. If SEES does what you claim it will, then the next few months will be more exciting then it normally would, for sure. Hopefully it does manage to stir-up the country and its retention especially. There are way too many powerhouses leaving, powerhouses we cant afford to lose.
I wish you luck Emerick, if there's anyone that this country needs, it's a media whore that is NOT focused on media & power 😶.
"people joined just because it was run by The Great Emerick."
Emerick became a brand and SEES recruits partially on a cult of personality. For good or bad people haven chosen to be attracted to that. The other parties have their style, many of them are way too similar. The Feds have some new ideas but SEES is trying to do something different with a different set of personalities. They will make or break themselves.
Your flaw is assuming we're in it for the Emerick.
WHEN INDEED WE ARE IN IT FOR AMERICA!!!!
Interesting; Mike P. are you in love. Furryman or Emerick, your ideas and goals may have had merit, though giving yourself the title that you did, labels you many things, hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for putting these guys in their place Justin. Emprick and his lackeys are destroying the very fabric of eUSA. I mean how dare the SEES pass the UIP. How dare they elect 11 members to congress. These guys are out of control. They certainly do not have any organization so don't worry their party will collapse very soon.
If douchebags were outlawed, then only outlaws would be douchebags. And what fun would that be?
Give me a reason to respect you Emerick and I will.. I loathe you simply for the reason that you proclaim "God" Status yet I haven't seen you do anything. Create SEES and any other EmerickZombie parties.
Emerick is full of Win! Learn to live with it. Better yet, join S.E.E.S
Justin, I'm no more a fan than you are, but there's no need to be so aggressive. Losing your temper over the issue is probably worse than most of the things that you accuse SEES of being. If you really think that Emerick doesn't deserve to have that kind of influence anymore, just sit back and wait. After all, a leash has two ends to it. If the general public becomes disillusioned, it's pretty clear what would happen.
I am amazed at the calm discussion and UTTER LACK OF FLAMING going on here. GREAT job to everyone involved. Justin, props to you for having the courage to voice what is clearly a very minority opinion. Props to Emerick for not being a betch about it 🙂
My life for yours, Mein Fuhrer!
