A Presidents Call to Action
As most who have dealt with me in this game know, I tend to take a lighter note on most things. That's not to say that I don't work, and just mess around, on the contrary I work my but off to do the best I can for South Africa.
This is why as CP this term I have not only been working, but also listening to others, gathering all the views and opinions I can, and allowing input from my trusted cabinet and congress members.
I have learned a lot through this experience so far and have learned that actions truly do speak louder than words. I can say all these great things I will do but if I don't actually get up and do anything my words and campaign would just be a scam.
With Had3z, and Dirty Scarlet Silverbeard, we managed to bring the RISE party to life. I based all my actions on being honest with my members and seeking to uplift South Africa.
That is why I will not let someone else take my spot in the firing line. ( *many suggested and some even volunteered to do so
😉These actions were entirely mine, but in my view were forced upon me as I sought to keep South Africa safe internally and externally.
Many can say that the Turkish members within RISE certainly helped with our numbers and getting us so high up in the political rankings. I wont deny they did, BUT it was never about being the best party, it was about doing our best for SA.
Leon and Edjatful initially approached me because of a fall-out with IA because of a few things Tenshibo said.( *PLEASE NOTE TENSHIBO IS NOT IA
😉Before this, the party had already climbed to fifth in the rankings and were hot on the tails of fourth position DB-PF at the time.
I was honest with both of them from the get-go. I never said I didn't support Tenshibo, I only said that I can see why that they are upset and that no one in South Africa deserved to be targeted or slandered, even if it was just TEN being TEN.
This was when they joined RISE, promising and productive SA members. I was sympathetic to their cause and thought I was doing SA a favour by attempting to Safeguard them. I even ignored the cries of many citizens who warned me I was only in for trouble.
I kept in communication with them constantly and they did help a little with RISE but not much beyond a voice or two here and there. They asked me for a meeting, (to which I was the only one to attend.) "I was a bit annoyed but was like hey it's just a game, not like my time is really valuable anyway.
I give this information so that you may see where this is leading. I continued my reign as RISE PP, although I was being contested by a new member to eSA and wasn't expecting to be dethroned, as I had a good track record with my achievements in game.
As many of you know: The recent threads going on in the forum were getting out of hand with Leon and Edjatful bickering amongst the rest of eSA, and other members of the eSA community being rude in return. A number of members including myself, Crumoet and Miyagiyoda tried our best to curb these conflicts on the forums to no avail.
During these conflicts Leon and Edjatful hinted that they were a threat and here as a PTO threat, whether this was just them messing around, in my opinion if you want to paint that picture of yourself then don't complain when the rest of us draw this conclusion too. The situation continued to escalate and not many could actually continue to empathize with these two for much longer.
This soon led to Edjatful proposing to then Impeach the CP Vanessa1309. Vanessa had only ever tried to help them but they turned on her purely based on the fact that she associated with Tenshibo and didn't stop the forum fighting. She is not a forum admin and cant stop this anyway.
When I ran for CP, they both refused my cabinet because of Ten being it, although he was just in as an advisor. If anyone knows how much behind the scenes work Ten puts in you'd probably think him a Saint although he'll never admit to it.
I won a hard fought CP battle against Claudio/ NRL. This is when I made my first ACT as CP. I immediately spoke to the Minister of Security and the Minister of Immigration. Exclusive orders out my mouth were "Don't let anymore Turks in, we may have a Threat here."
As a sympathizer to their misunderstood plight I was forced to either do nothing and watch or take action. The actions recently of Edjatful and Leon forced me to take action. I took the action I believed to be the best for eSA, and will accept the consequences to these actions.
Based on this I had to group the Turks as the Turks , even though I didn't believe it to be right but the actions of TWO members made the whole group seem a threat. You can blame me if you want but Edjatful and Leon forced me to take action and I did. Their association with the other Turkish members meant that the whole group was to suffer for the actions of only TWO.
I then organised a meeting with members from other parties, and explained my concern of a threat that if RISE PP was won by a turkish member of our community that Leon and Edjaful could use this to ensure certain members would get into congress and use the citizenship pass to bring in more Turkish members into SA, legally or illegally.
This would then spiral month after month until we couldn't stop the flow of Turkish members into the country, leading to a Political Take Over! With this the decision was taken to ensure that AFK who had never shown himself to be a threat was to be outvoted as PP for a safe PP that we knew Had3z. This was a hard decision but action had to be taken and unfortunately, the actions of your associated dragged you down with them
I come to you with my head held high, knowing that I took my actions with the best interest of the country at Heart. I didn't want to have to go this route but you EDJATFUL and LEON RENO forced my hand by insinuating a threat within the forums and constantly undermining the governance of this country.
Having said all of this i do believe these members can have a positive influence on our Country but have much work to do, to repair the damage done in the past two months.
I am a proud South African, a hard working South African, I am stepping up and saying yes I did take these actions but I had every right as CP to take action on this matter, that I believe is a serious threat to our Country.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown...
You made a tough call with a reasonable approach, and I'm glad to call you president.
Voted! It is great to see a CP who is willing to make the tough calls for the nation and on top of that a CP who lets the nation know what actions they are taking. You have my full support!
Voted.

good job president
Voted
Great article, voted.
The president isn't here to please the people, he is here to make the difficult decisions the people are too afraid to make. Good decision Luna o7
this is definitely a KKK inside joke..
..but wait i dont get it..
really
I completely agree with the decision. One recommendation if i may, i would have consulted with the Turkish CP and seen if he would investigate the rumors of PTO. But keeping the Turks out was a good idea, at least until the conclusion of the investigation.
Voted as well.
As a small country, we can't take risks when it comes to PTO threats, supported Mr President.
o7 Good Work sir. Unfortunately sometimes the president has to err on the side of caution. I would like to believe Edjatful and Leon have our best interests at heart but if they do indeed then they have time to make their actions speak louder than words. The last while this has all blown up and this decision while not easy on us or our Turkish nationals unfortunately had to be made.
I saw allot of myself in that article 😛 Good call mr President
Great article, the DB stands behind you, Mr. President!
This was a tough decision that you made, but it had to be made. Actions lead to reactions and it's your responsibility to keep eSA safe. You have done so, be proud, we are of you!
You have conducted yourself with dignity and honor
Voted hard
You having been doing an awesome job Mr. President!
Keep it up.
Voted hard!
I'm with the government as always
I want to you learn this point: We (Desert Lions or Turks whatever) see ourselves as eSouth African. We never would try any PTO action. I say again: WE NEVER WOULD TRY ANY PTO ACTION. Specially against our friends. I can say this with freshly for myself; my best friends (one of them Vee) in this country. Why do i want to hurt them ?
Think internationalist. Remember this is only a game and it's not worth to hurt each other.
Thanks anyway.
- AFK
And unfortunately unsub.
AFK, everyone is regretful of the fact that you have been caught in this ugly mess. It truly is a shame that there is suspicion on you because of another person from the same country.
You are still a friend to me, no matter what happens with the other two and I would recommend that you move away from them further to avoid being linked in with them.
They have given Desert Lions a bad name

Voted, let's hope we can sort this mess out with minimal destruction.
Personally this is an infringement of AFK's rights to freedom of association. AFK has been done an injustice, if there is no certain proof to believe AFK would be a danger, then i am worried where we are heading. To easy for a power player to affect negatively players with opposing views.
Initially i supported an ATO, but i am not so sure of any PTO taking place, but hindsight is wonderful to have. The CP did what he believed to be right, i tip my hat for having the ballz to make the call
Vanessa1309 sai😛

I agree with this completly AFK. GTFO away from them. Even if they're the same...
nationality as you. You're a good person. While they have a bad name..
As DoI there was never any question whether this was to be supported or not. As many have already said AFK seems an ok kind of guy. Prudence takes precedence.
O7 Mr President!
