The Democratic Party is now, and shall forever be, jointly known as "The Game Mechanics Party"
I tried to retire from this game; I really did. I found out that it's just too much fun. So, I began searching for a new challenge. A new height to reach... and I found it. I had to look no further than America's internal politics and the problems we have.
Parties are making a step forwards with change and less partisan politics, and I applaud each and every party president for working to end such an illogical practice. When I was President, I had two goals. One was to end partisan politics, which I think I can say are more or less extinguished in the United States. My second goal was to educate the populous, en masse, on the importance of game mechanics. The United States needs more gamers and less politicians, and I'm dedicated to making that happen.
The theory of game mechanics is that we need to stop acting like make believe politicians and start playing this game like just that, a game. It's a theory championed by players like One Eye and George Barker, and of course myself. It's a theory I'm dedicated to making the United States immersed in. The Democratic Party will have the largest education system in the political world, and it will be dedicated to teaching new players to play like gamers, not make believe politicians. I've believed in this theory for months, dating back to my "Why So Serious?" article in which I challenged America to drop partisan politics and play the game. We're close, now we just have to finish.
I'm going to quote a few people and what they think about the party:
"Whoa. This is better than anything I could've imagined when you said you wanted the party.
Best of luck, I hope this works."
-- Ligtreb, USWP Senator and Cabinet member
"I'll be joining"
-- Elderon, unaffiliated Senator
"Hmmm. Where did I hear this idea before ? A pure game mechanics party. Yes."
-- Alee Ann, USA Troll Hunter and former Cabinet member
"I like this answer. It "touched me" in all the right places. I look forward to seeing how this pans out. There is an edge to this idea that is missing in the political side of the game."
-- Wapu, AAP Senator
"HOLY CRAP I LOVE YOU.
I found a new party to hang out in when not overseas
-- Jewitt, Vice President of the United States
"If I was a citizen of the eUS, this is the only party I'd consider joining."
-- George Barker, Vizier and Mechanics Theorist
Secretary of Defense Leroy Combs, former President Scrabman, and others also support this movement. Do you?

Sounds very solid; a possible cure-all to America's ills.
Voted because of the pr0nz0rz
Weclome back!
YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
hmm extremely interesting.. a political party that's main goal is to break the reasoning for having political parties.. i must say that this is an excellent idea. there were countless times before this war that politics got in the way of us looking at the bigger picture. i like this very much. if only i were in the eUS..
i rather see the front lol
SWEET! A Party that will REALLY TEST MY LOYALTY TO USWP!
I think many parties are already well on their way to this conclusion, but I wish the Democrats the best.
That said, Harrison Richardson/Franco has admitted to a good deal of corruption in the past, and I'm sad to see he's being accepted back by some of our country's leaders without so much as an apology.
Nawww. Party politics have always been fun. What else are we supposed to do in peacetime? RWARING THROUGH ME-HEE-CO, maybe, but that's what caused this current trench war.
hot!
i am a gamer that's why i play this game because i like it
but some just cant seem to enjoy it as a game and have fun.
ex Ajay Bruno
Thanks HR, I'm glad you're still doing good. I'm glad franco is more or less gone : )
This is a great idea, but all it takes is one dumb PP and the feast is ruined. I would join if I wasn't already committed elsewhere this month.
O.O . . . best part of the article was the end XD
I would join this once the USMC sets up shop back in FL.
From USA forum:
"I think cheating is within game mechanics." -- Harrison Richardson
"id get rid of democracy to make this country great - thats what mechanics is all about" -- Chocolate McSkittles
Feel free to continue to play politico.
When the other side cheats, sometimes you have to do what's necessary. I've never cheated on HR.
OMG! This is so stupid, how can nobody see this is just more politics? The only thing different about this political ideology is it pretends to be apolitical when it blatantly has a political agenda, complete with a economic plan, plan on foreign policy, wars, etc. He's basically saying, everybody who has a different political ideology should join mine because my political ideology is based on mere game mechanics when it isn't. How he could come out and say he himself is not just playing politics is completely ridiculous. And then to add insult to injury we all know Harrison is a cheater. Time for a critique.
Sorry you disagree. Feel free to continue playing politico while people, such as our Vice President and numerous cabinet members, realize the value of this party.
heeeeeeeyyyyyy where's my quote?
Cool. I'm definitely going to join this party when I'm leveled up.
>"id get rid of democracy to make this country great - thats what mechanics is all about" -- Chocolate McSkittles
And I stand by that statement fully. Were people worried about democratic rights when we were just florida? no, they were worried about what country they were going to move to.
Making this country (not its government, or a political party) great should be the sole concern of every american. If I have to sacrifice my democratic "rights" to have america exist, instead of promoting some fantasy RL philosophy or helping my homies get another award, then so be it.
And for the record, I do disagree with HRs statement regarding cheating. I believe "morals" do not exist in game. We have friends and enemies, and doing "mean" things like PTOs, or baby mashers, to them is within our rights as players.
However, actions that go against clearly stated admin rules (such as multi accounts) should not be encouraged.
That is my opinion and I respect HRs opposing one. As both of us are of equal stance within the party, I am sure we will arrive at a consensus regarding this issue.
My stance is that until the admins clear up the opposition and level the playing field, while I don't personally cheat I wouldn't condemn anyone who did to help the country.
It's sad that, to just be even with an opponent, we need to match their cheating. We've done it clean for over a year now, and I'm proud of that. America plays the game the way it should be played.
I second skittles' opinion there - tactics are quite nice, cheating is not. 😉
I'm down
I've officially joined this party and will continue to support them in their endeavors, in whatever capacity I can. It's also nice to see the screaming politicos already. Troll away, little trolls, the rest of us are going to be busy figuring out ways to win the war.
Also, Skittles is teh secks.
I knew I liked you.
I now know where I'll be if I come back from Australia.
I'm sorry but it's not fun if we don't act like make believe politicians. You said it yourself, it's a game. It has no rules on how you can play, just that you get one piece and you move it in the direction you want. When you make this a game, not a place where you can do what you want(including partisan politics) it becomes uninteresting and repetitive.
You make me sick. I wish you the worst of luck and hope you pathetic attempts to exploit people and make this game worse for everyone fail miserably. I wish you would quit for good finally.
I like the last picture the most. But I also like the rest. You've got my full support!
complete nonsense
Love you too, ssomo. You've always been a great partisan.
Join our awesomeness now! We have dedicated forums too!
And please mister Richardson, can you and the Democratic party give the people what they want and start a project of re-building the states hospitals?
I mean, if I wanted to live in California, I'd locate myself there in the first place. The only reason why I'm here is because there's no hospital in Virginia.
Yawn. Why does "game mechanics" always mean circumventing the actual game to set up parallel structures?
I also object to the idea that those of us who object to HR's mechanicism are not "gamers".
Chew Chew Shoe - If we place hospitals everywhere, we dilute fortresses. That's the reason our country exists right now. Because everyone was forced to relocate to Florida for it's Q5 hospital, it became an impenetrable wall.. thus it was never attacked (the wall would have been over two million), and it still stands.
David -
Sorry you disagree. Others agree with me but you don't have to.
Get my citizenship request accepted and i'll be a life time member!
Look at Clinton don't the Democrats want everyone? (In Bed)
i love traditions
Very, very interesting.
Oh and the article showed a lot of promise too. 😉
Pervert.
P.S. I like how the picture is an ass.
I know, I know, it's the actual thing. Just saying.
