INANE POTUS DEBATE


Ten questions were given to all three major POTUS candidates. These questions get to the heart of no issue. They are entirely not hard-hitting. I'm not Wolf Blitzer. These questions are inane.


1. Explain your name. But make it interesting damnit. And if your name isn’t interesting, make something up that is.


: It was supposed to be “Gnilleps” but I misspelled it.


: My name is Paul Proteus, he was a character from Kurt Vonnegut's book "Player Piano", which is one of my favorite books, at least my favorite Vonnegut book where the name wasn't already taken, I tried "Billy Pilgrim" first 😉


: Auctoritas is latin for 'authority'. I have always been inspired by Alexander the Great, so my name is an omage to him. His empire was quite impressive and included many cultures.




2. What eRepublik player would you most like to meet in real life? Also, where would you go and what would you wear?


: Oh, Chutley, you vainglorious bastard. You knew I’d say “Chutley”. And I would wear my high school varsity jacket (yes, it’s 25 years old) just to scare the hell out of you, and to circumvent the need for you to have to ask me why I play this game. Underneath it my shirt, my pants, and my underwear.


: I dunno, probably just someone I get along with really well like Jelly or Marxus, scratch that, I wanna meet someone Swiss, New Answer: JNArno 😁


: I would like to meet Avruch, and I would wear a yellow aids ribbon. :3




3. Do your best to explain why some people get “eMarried.”


: Because we are all so eMoral and wouldn’t dream of having ePremarital Sex, so the only way to get eLaid with any eSelf Respect is to get eHitched. Just choose wisely, though, because nothing cuts more deeply than eDivorce.

On a related note, we are taking applications for Interns.


: For fun? It seems like a fun little thing to do and last time I checked that was the point of the game


: In a game where you build your character through medals and stats, the emarriage adds an extra element of personalization that people are looking for.




4. I think being PotUS is likely bad for someone’s health. And I mean real health. Agree or disagree?


: Being PoTUS will likely take .4 years off my life expectancy, and if my real life were worth living then I probably wouldn’t be here to begin with. The satisfaction I derive in knowing that it is taking years off my life will likely add about .5 years to my life. I plan to live forever this way.


: Agree, but for a month it's so worth it? Maybe not, but you can't know until you try it 😛


: I disagree. If you do it wrong, yes, but I intend to do it right.




5. How did this happen?




:

: Oh that, well I was playing Chicken with a horse, I can guarantee you, Seabiscuit is no coward. He's not a lot of other things at this point though...


: Are you f$#king kidding me?




6. What’s gross?


: dozen dozen


: Semicolons ; ;


: Gross is 100 dead babies in a bathtub. What's grosser than gross? One live one at the bottom. What's grosser still? he eats his way to the top.




7. Send me a picture that you feel will best describe your PotUS month.


:


:


:
That is Madrid burning. We are going to kick Spain's ass.




8. Finish this sentence. “I honestly can’t believe…”


: …the sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.


: that a Cavemen could do it, I mean insurance is p hard.


: that I ate the whole thing.




9. The real question: why do you want to be PotUS?


: For the same reason you are asking these questions. You know I’m right.


: I WANT TO BE THE VERY BEST, LIKE NO WAS EVER WAS!

Seriously though, most people who play the political part of this game someday want to be POTUS, it's a great way to challenge yourself and show others what you're capable of 🙂


: I am a gamer, and I assume that the other candidates are as well. eRepublik is a game and those of us that keep this in mind can play the hell out of it. One way to 'win' is to get all your medals. As PotUS, you get the added 'win' of controlling the eUS and having a month to mold the country and it's citizens. You can make a lasting impact for better or worse, and I intend to be the kind of president that makes people go "Goddamn, I want to be that guy."




10. What was that?


: My gas.


: Nothing, you're probs just hearing voices again~


: That was my tongue.




Thanks candidates. And may the best avatar win.


Debatedly,
Chutley
