Celebrations are in order
Piotr Pardaalski
From a person who had little faith in an united eRepublik, I must say I am impressed.
The TO that a group of brazilian individuals tried to impose over the sovereign eSA is, as of now, a spin-off. The vast majority of brazilians has returned home; the overall bulk of the plan was exposed. The South Africans have shown intelligence and unity. Congratulations.
Ah! And some luck as well! Apparently there is a TO attempt currently running on eBrazil, so the tide has turned!
But that is not why I have created this article. Not only. I come forward to propose myself as a candidate. No matter how strange, or deliberately stupid it may seem.
I have strong faith (and in part thanks to you) that these elections are going to be clean, cleaner than in many other places. I only ask for the benefit of doubt. Before anyone asks, I am brazilian. And proud of it. But that does not make me a conspirator.
Look for my name throughout the history of this game. The media, the text logs, whatever means you can find. What will you find? A conspirator? A TO supporter? A rabid, prejudicial nationalist? Three times no.
My manifestations in both international and brazilian local media have always been against takeover by ANY nation, and my name cannot be found ANYWHERE linked to this sad episode. If you want at least some hint on the average brazilian's opinion, look for the man named Cavalcanti. The President of eBrazil, always manifesting the inconformity of the government with this plan.
Some may say, I'm just trying to save my ass. May I remind those of the dangers of prejudice. My name, I repeat, is nowhere amongst suspicious records. Again, I only ask for the benefit of doubt.
Now, on the reasons on voting me:
1) I have been intensely active in this game every single day since I joined.
2) I have accompanied brazilian, international, and now also South African politics on an hourly basis, and I believe I can contribute in a fairly-built government.
3) As said before, my name is impecably clean. I have nothing to hide. By the way; I am open to any questions.
4) I have faith that my help here coul be useful. I deeply trust the democratic principles that eRepublik stands for, and I would work very hard for the benefit of this land.
If any (unjustified) doubt remains over my character, feel free to ask all around eBrazil for anyone who can pinpoint me as corrupt or untrustworthy.
Sincerely, and hoping for nothing more than a fair judgment,
Piotr Pardaalski

Piotr, I have had the pleasure of squaring off against you once, during the Mexican American War. You are among one of the most intelligent and well spoken people I've spoken with in game.
But the alliance to which your home country belongs is garbage, and must be destroyed. You ask for the benefit of the doubt? I will gladly grant it to you. But I will not tolerate anything with which PEACE is associated.
Death to Peace. In their homes, and around the world.
Well, thank you. It is nice to hear such things in these troubled times.
As for the rest of the comment, I politely disagree with you. I have to agree with the existence of true "gangsters" trying to run an "enterprise" on PEACE. Their actions are despicable, no doubt; but there are members in PEACE who wish nothing but an honest, peaceful and decent eWorld to live in. But, I dare say, a reformulation has been necessary for much too long.
Nice to see you by the way. Nice article too.
You've made a believer out of me Piotr, I'm glad you've come to South Africa.
As for the PEACE talk, I don't think they should be destroyed...I don't particularly like PEACE, more probably because of Indonesia's role in it and their occupation of SA though.
Welcome to SA Piotr, I hope you find yourself welcome here 😉
Thanks, Epic. Thanks, Gabriel. That kind of support is all the support I could wish.
Well written Piotr. I trust that we can all work together to make South Africa a stronger, better, and most importantly, independent nation.
Wonderfully written.Good luck!
Piotr > Fabio Vaz
Piotr > any of the other Brazilians who have come over...a truly well-spoken intelligent man! Again, glad to have you!
THX!
Let's hope this is true...
Me too....
forgive me if I am not entirely convinced time will Hitler was also good with words he had Chamberlain convinced he was a good guy.
Only time will tell but if you are sincere I heartily welcome to you to eSA
Other than the comparison with Hitler, I welcome these words
