Surprise! You're Vice President!
PigInZen
Yesterday had to be one of the strangest days in eRepublik for me. I jumped online early in the morning before leaving for my son's basketball game but didn't bother with eRepublik; I only was interested in seeing if there were orders for the Army. After quickly checking the military forums I closed my laptop and headed out with one of my sons to go to his game. I didn't get back online until after 5 PM after a busy weekend day running around town doing holiday errands. Imagine my shock.
Here's the irony: for the November presidential election Jewitt and I did tons of campaigning - we sent many PMs, advertised, did interviews, published articles, etc. This time around, pretty much nothing.

You see, Jewitt and I (and pretty much everyone else with whom we talked) both were convinced that Josh Frost and Woxan would win re-election without much difficulty. In eRepublik the runner up in the presidential election assumes the presidency in the event of the president being impeached (by either resignation or outright removal). We assumed that Jewitt would be a good insurance in the event something happened to Josh Frost.
Something happened all right.
LOL. You did WHAT to my car?
So wtf just happened? Some are saying that it was Jewitt's "promise" to invade the UK if election. Others are pinning it on the lack of national goals by Josh Frost. Still others claim that the AAP having a "placeholder" candidate end up as their permanent candidate come election day as being a deciding factor. To be honest, I'll never know why Josh Frost wasn't elected. But I suspect that the shock won't wear off anytime soon for anyone involved.
So. What would YOU do if you woke up and were elected Vice President?

I'd start impeachment proceedings. 😛
Early Christmas present?

What would I do if I woke up Vice President?
Hmm... I guess it would depend on who my president was. But, I imagine it would be something naughty to break in the Oval Office. P legit way to start off the day.
We have an army VP! \o/
Make the army, and the 5th proud!
Invade things!
😃
This means you'll have to leave the 5/2, doesn't it? 🙁
Bye, it was great having you as my XO... when you were my XO!
Ooooooh MedyPi that sounds like an offer...

I'd praise Lewis and hire some noob to bring me coffee.
Some noob to bring me coffee

nice

omg, I'm more surprised about this than I was when I found out that PiZ ISN'T a bald man who poses for cleaning products...
However, he really is a bald man.
I would try to clean the stains that were left in there from the months of January until April. It was a pretty wild time in that VP office...
Yeah...Justin and I made quite a mess in the month of January. And only the walls of that room can have any idea of what went on while Sam was there... Ofc, after Sam was impeached, I appropriated it again as VP to bring in my mynz. It was my pimp shack.
get some geishas?
wonder if it was me who made that gun really go off...
With all due respect, please look at your margin of victory.
It wasn't a majority, it was a plurality in the low 30's.
My guess is that the difference was Jewitt's promise to attack the UK within 3 days.
But revenge is a dish best served cold-- please be wise, and if you do feel the need to destroy the eUK (and I'm not oppossed to that) please don't telegraph to them exactly when we do it, and pick the date carefully to maximize the chances of success.
France and the UK are not the same-- the UK is lame but they have stacks of MPP's that France does not have.
I'd go smoke a pack of menthols, listen to some jazz and generally be my usual ba self.
I would screw off at work reading eUS forums and pray that the Mac network holds up on its lonesome. Oh, and I'd tell a lot of people what to do....
Strippers mandatory at every meeting of Congress and the Cabinet.
good luck!
I think that the commitment to attack the UK within 3 days is the reason why Jewitt was elected (though I think he'll be a good president). That sounded like a lot of fun to a lot of people.
