[SFPOM] Race to Party President:
•
by Jimmy Cincinnati
Issue #29:
The SFP is a Democratic Party. We express no rights over those we govern. The only right to govern is expressed through a mandate by the masses. 
All of the Presidential Candidates were asked to answer a list of questions that were suggested by other Socialist Freedom Party, Members. There was no reply from bootmii.

Q. What do you hope to achieve?
A. Improve party relations, Perception focus for BC, and continue developing the new blood.
Q. If someone makes a proposal to repeal the dictatorship law, would you vote yes or no?
A. Yes.
Q. Name the last three party presidents. (There is a section of the forum with this information.)
A. Myself, Tom Cauchon, J.A. Lake
Q. How active can you be and what's the best way to contact you?
A. I'm here every day. I can be contacted by message in erep, forum, WhatsApp or email.
Q. Name at least one influential player.
A. Max McFarland
Cerb
Q. What do you hope to achieve?
A. I think the current SFP leadership team has done an exceptional job tapping into the two-clicker audience and bringing people out to vote and participate, especially in light of the objective truth that the game is declining.
However, I have observed that the SFP struggles to build Congressional consensus, and is often reacting to legislation proffered by more senior, more respected players. We could segue into a historical debate on how and why this came to be, but the bottom line is that my name tends carry at least a little weight in the right circles.
My notion is to be proactive in dealing with other parties, and to support responsible legislators and responsible legislation.
Also, I plan to encourage on-site forum usage (i.e. the main eUSAforums, not forumotion). As the community shrinks, it's important to stay connected if we want to play different games with our eUSA friends in the future. Sure, you give up some autonomy I suppose, but realistically the eUS admins have a very minimal approach to intervention.
Q. If someone makes a proposal to repeal the dictatorship law, would you vote yes or no?
A. Although this type of proposal is Flavor of the Month with roleplayers, I haven't seen any functional benefit described. I would certainly vote 'No'. I'm OK with roleplay, but when the rubber meets the road, you have to respect game mechanics.
Q. Name the last three party presidents. (There is a section of the forum with this information.)
A. Including the current PP, this list would include:
Wooky Jack
Tom Cauchon
J.A. Lake
Q. How active can you be and what's the best way to contact you?
A. I'm readily available by forum PM on the eUSAforums. I have moved away from IRC in recent years, because it is an archaic communication medium developed in the late 80's.
I'm also available by game PM.
Q. Name at least one influential player.
A. I presume you are requesting an influential party member, and for everyone in the SFP, please don't interpret this as a weighted response. I'm not making a statement as to who is the MOST influential...
I will say that TheNorm is one of my favorite SFP members. He was always plugged into the functional mechanics of the game, which obviously is a perspective I align with. Also, I believe I appointed him to NSC in my second eUS POTUS term.
Thanks to Wooky and Cerb, for participating and good luck to the SFP.
Better Slogans, since Day 900.

I would just like to add that I think cerb is reactionary and it is my personal opinion that he should not lead the party. Not only does he point out how reactionary he is in his views he also takes it upon himself to buy into the reactionary propaganda against me. I am not an rp player and really my stance on the dictatorship is not different from nearly all SFP congressmen.
We all disagree with the dictatorship because it promotes the mentality that you need to live in fear and suppress all the dangerous opinions because we are all going to die so sign away all freedom to a handful of influential players and tell us if anyone is misbehaving because they are really a puppet of Ajay Bruno and Chickens Guy. Did I mention fear and terror.
I am willing to sit down and discuss this with cerb, but I feel that if he is going to compromise the message in order to make this a mainstream party I will have nothing to do with it under his watch.
Cerb people who are struggling against the system win by compromising, yes. This compromise moves the wheels of progress and we are not going to get any progress by being indefinitely reactionary.
The realest and most legit people not only have the message, but the money(the power). We need to build the message and the money as a party. I am sure that you will help us get focused and get that money, but at the massive cost of the actual parties message.
I will not stand for such things!
The supporters of a dictatorship can't accept the fact that they can not win eRepublic.
true
Next time, please feel free to discuss your notions beforehand. When you make unfounded/illogical accusations and then say "I am willing to sit down and discuss", it's usually not the best approach to negotiation.
Thank you for your input. 🙂
You have yet to list a single mechanical benefit to leaving ourselves open to a midnight takeover.
I don't expect you to identify with me. Dictatorship get people onto your forum, Isolationist policies hurt us in the long run. People resent this.
Besides, the game is unwinnable and our property is unassailable. If someone gets the money and organizes that, under our noses, they will soon witness what our community can accomplish when we work together.
I've got a liberator that fires 29 freedoms, per second. I'll unload a whole magazine of democracy.
The mechanical benefit is that we have an in game Congress rather than an out of game Congress on a paid for forum run by traitors like you.
The mechanical benefit is that you and you lackeys cannot censor or Blacklist those who oppose you.
Jimmy, please outline what 'isolationist' policies are in place, and how they hurt us in the long run. I am curious as to what it is you're describing.
I'm glad I stirred up such a riveting debate.
You are asking us to give up our use of game mechanics and give up the security of this site.
In return, we get, extra, meta-laws and terms of service.
If you don't see that this is causes a divide in our community, I don't know that I can help.
Let's take a critical look at your view:
You want to spend a but load of other people's money for temporary defense against a threat that might not exist and it wouldn't be the end of the eWorld, if it materialized.
In return for this security, you expect everyone to give up their anonymity.
What money is being spent which would not have to be spent otherwise?
Show me numbers, don't just spew rhetoric from your butt.
You are representing the eUS, in Congress and you don't know what that costs.
2 million.
I said which would NOT have to be spent otherwise. Without a dictator you have the money being spent to prevent a takeover, and then if that fails, the money needed to launch AND to win the liberation.
So I ask again.
What money is being spent which would not have to otherwise be spent?
That's completely hypothetical. What's not hypothetical is the people who denounced the dictator and quit playing this game. There are article, if you don't believe it.
It isn't at all hypothetical. We've witnessed such attempts.
People choosing to leave over their inability to set aside RL ideology is always going to happen. Can't be helped.
Better Slogans, Since Day 900!!
That's was borrowed from a joke you made.

Thanks to Jimmy for conducting these interviews and creating this article.
As a party, we welcome any who come to our doors. Bring your ideas. This election will be interesting.
Cerb lost me when after the SFP made it completely clear that as a party we wanted nothing to do with the eUSA Forum he continues to support moving there. If a citizen had joined the USWP and immediately ran for PP (think Jude Connors) they would be throwing themselves on the floor kicking and screaming 'PTO!'
Jude was banned from USWP for actively abusing permissions on the old USWP forum to destroy much of the history there. His intent is never constructive, it is always destructive. Period.
I knew there was another reason I didn't vote for Cerb. He didn't even bother joining our forum.
frankly you love the eUSA forums... Just look at your wholeness there :/ for proof
what a complete loser and official, hail sucking at all levels \o/
You get your jollies from the misery of others. I'd rather try something positive and fail.
you are so full of yourself, just look at the biggest loser in the game wanting you to notice him
you have a desperate old man online wanting to play with children and be noticed, wow...
what will you accomplish with your lies???
I'm sorry, Trite. I'll have to find a translator that speaks Baffoon.
Thought I smelled something....
Am I the only one noticing that the "pfeiffer" is the only one who ever comes to the defense of Cerb? Probably not your best defense as far as SFP goes dude. Also your responses to JC's questions put you way outside of the baseline SFP opinions. I'll be voting WJ instead of a Fed takeover thanks.
Sincerely,
A two clicker
Also you said "segue". That's capfa talk. Like office people stuff. You're not one of us. Go back to your unearned desk with your coffee mug that says "Worlds best Dad" and continue courting the demise of your children's generation for personal gain .
Good article.
This should be an interesting PP race.
Good luck to both WJ and cerb.
