Saterday, September 30, 2012: Day 1775 Special Edition
Hail the birth of CTRL: POTUS Announcement
Pfeiffer announced that he wants to be POTUS, and announced that fingerguns would be his VP choice. This theoretically unites the Feds and USWP behind his ticket.
John Largo is the probable AMP candidate.
The decission was made by the four PP's to hold primaries within their own forums. This sucks for the hundreds of loyal players who don't use the forums, or are in sixth parties. And I have no idea how the WTP will conduct theirs.
This is not the best we could have done. I showed you all one example of another way right here. Count me among those dissappointed.
I'm in Congress. I can tell you that we weren't asked which system to use, though I recently opened a discussion (see link above). I see a ton of disenfranchised voters in our near future.
HOWEVER: In the end, I will back the Unity Candidate, whomever that ends up being, as I expect all loyalists will do.
NOTE: You may have to clear your browser (Ctrl F5), and this updates totals every 5 minutes, so wait a minute to see your vote change the totals.
Try the above POTUS Vote (beta). It will only let you vote once, and it will only let you vote if you hold eUS Citizenship
The voting process takes 45 seconds, it's a three part process.
It is absolutely secure, and no one can see how you vote. Not even me.
This is being given as ONE way to hold a Unity Election Primary.
The code to post this vote in your own media is below. No matter how many places we post this (or YOU post this), the totals tally TOGETHER in the results! Ain't that cool? We can have an infinate number of polling locations, but the totals stay as one.
The code: (cut and paste into your own media)
As you all know, we have been at war with FYROM for the last few days. We have managed to push them off our shores with some well timed RW's, and are now looking to take back Aquitaine.
Because of Game mechanics, we cannot attack Aquitaine until the French RW ends. This will hopefully be around 14:00 today. After that, President Israel Stevens has promised that we will be taking the fight to FYROM, so strap in for a series of big battles over the next few days!

Takes about 30 seconds with two windows open. If you voted yesterday, we've reset for this final test. The guys above me here probably need to re-vote.
Tried it, and it didn't worked for me:
''Only american citizens can vote..''

How often do the results update?

I've been listening to the thoughts of some citizens who have chosen to share them with me, and from what I've seen by looking around.
Should we hold a preliminary vote to determine if the majority WANTS to hold a unity candidate election, or is this being presented as another "you have no choice" option?
Despite mine or your personal opinions, we need to continue to strive for fairness and to seek the majority opinion.
Unity candidate!, might has well throw democracy out the window.
NO UNITY CANDIDATES NO UNITY ELECTION
As democracy falls tyranny will rise
Largo!!
Any of the parties that have their crap together are holding nominations and soon to be voting on who their party is going get behind. We need to wait till that is all done to get the unity candidate selected. Trust me when I say all the top 5 parties minus AFA will be in agreement come CP election.
I don't disagree with you Slyk on the basic premise. I would be firmly against a unity candidate IF 6 guys got to decide who it was, however, this is a beta test for an "ELECTION", which means we would all have a say outside game mechanics in choosing the unity candidate.
Last time they did this I fought it because a few people got access to the spreadsheet etc and I question the validity. But if this truly can be set up so no one can alter the reponses, I would not be opposed.
@Slyk Willy no it will not because its better than have Hannibal LA or some other AFA in the whitehouse
tbh there are multiple systems being tossed around for selecting the unity candidate, this just has shown promise as perhaps the best.
I agree, I like this if it can't be altered. Anything that can be altered is dangerous.
I am not gonna argue the point as my view is obvious. and Bia everything outside the game mechanics can and will be manipulated. Unless your personally hand counting the votes i wont buy into the outcome.
This is not the first time we've picked a unity candidate, people.
There's another candidate not listed
1. I support a couple of the above candidates
2. This will only be spun as Elitist/No Choice BS
3. I will not be a part of this unless it turns out to be the person who "I" want for CP
4. If you want this to succeed, you will still need the PEOPLE to actually VOTE in game anyhow.
Suggesting is good, being TOLD what to do helped this country get to where it is now...
"I am not gonna argue the point as my view is obvious. and Bia everything outside the game mechanics can and will be manipulated. Unless your personally hand counting the votes i wont buy into the outcome."
If my being a part of the vote handling process/solution will establish some faith in you as to the integrity of the outcome, I volunteer. We can all sit around and bitch about how bad things have become and how we want change, and I am right there in that pack with everyone else...
but when push comes to shove...and oh hell yes we've been shoved, it's time for us to man/woman up and do what we have to do to start that change, no matter how small.
We simply do NOT have the numbers to survive another 3 guy vs 1 putz election. If we continue to be divided we cannot unify, not anymore.
Time to be a part of choosing our fates instead of passive watchers.
And at least we get a vote in this one. AMIRITE???

don't blame me, I voted for candor
Didn't see Candor on the list, so I didn't vote.
@Chucky Norris and Smiljan - Did you put in your numerical ID or your name? I checked the API that I get citizenship status from and it says you both are USA. If you put in your ID it should work. You can also try to put in your whole profile link.
Slyk Willy - "I am not gonna argue the point as my view is obvious. and Bia everything outside the game mechanics can and will be manipulated. Unless your personally hand counting the votes i wont buy into the outcome."
The only ways I think anyone can manipulate the results are by paying people to vote a certain way and there's nothing we can do about that. The other way would be to make multies and go through the voting process with each one. If that is the case we will have their IDs. 😉
needs more pfeiffer
I believe this is a system test gnilraps, not the actual vote.
Largo
Yes this is only a test for now to make sure the system works as expected.
Bia Pandora - "How often do the results update?"
Every 5 minutes.
@Fingersguns - it's still in beta 😛
Pfeiffer.
This is presented as ONE option. I'd love to see others presented. Seen none thus far.
This is News of The Day staff showing you that it can be done, that's all.
This is Beta, The AMP, USWP, WTP and FED Party Presidents would subit their own candidate, the same as they always have.
And NO ONE can wee how you vote, nor alter the votes. Frankly, that was my biggest complaint with the Krems voting system of years ago. In this, you are safe. Me too
LoL
Fluffer 4 Unity Candidate

Pfeiffer should be the unity candidate, if for no other reason than it would crush ajay's mind grapes.
Not seeing pfeiffer in the poll. o.O
For starters, under extreme conditions (i.e. actual invasion) RL USA would be placed under martial law. You should examine this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law article. We don't have the exact same set up in our eCountry, however it is a good comparison.
A unity candidate is much preferable to a PTO'er being PotUS.

Also noted that Potato and IS have already voted for themselves. 😃😃

First, I would like to say that Synesi just won this comment section ^
Secondly, Slyk Willy will go against anything if he thinks it will get him attention.
Thirdly, Good paper Candor. Voted.
Voted, both for the article, and in ze poal.
"1) A whole lot of people sit in 6th parties. So they would have no choice in things, as they would in a traditional (or alternative) election/system."
And no, I don't want to join any of the top 5 parties. Figure out something else for the rest of us. We've lost enough small group culture in this game.
I love when people assume they know our intentions.
If I were not in this game this would not be such a huge d
eal.... so really, it is your hatred of one person
