Back on the Job, Full Time
With the Presidential election over, I’m out of a job over at the Media Department, and I must say I am relieved. It was great to partner once again with Old Fu-k Congresswoman Melissa Rose, and we recruited Young Old Fu-k Catsch73 to handle the Pony Express.
I’m very proud of the work we did, low article votes notwithstanding.
But now I have just eight days to either prove my worth as your Party President, or take my place as a proud OhFU member under new leadership. Let’s see if
About that POTUS Election
I'd like to go over a couple of points regarding the POTUS election-- namely, the initial power of Old Fu-ks, even beyond our ranks, in a national election.
The last thing I wanted to do was to be a spoiler, especially if it meant keeping rainy sunday out of the White House. In the final count, only 53 votes separated rainy and Deepchill, and I had 49. Clearly, not all 49 who voted for me would have voted for rainy-- we really can't say this would have been a 4-vote margin had I dropped out.
I got twice as many votes as we had members on election day. I voted for rainy, as did other OhFU members who shared with me who they voted for. So more than half of my votes came from outside the OhFU.
After an initial big bump in article votes when the OhFU series started, this newspaper has settled into a groove of garnering between 15 and 30 per article. Subtract the 300 votes bought for the Endorsement article and that’s a 30, and some of that only because the bought votes put it in the Top 5. So let’s generously say that 25 or so people look at this paper, on average.
We have some less-than-active OhFU members-- they’re not all voting my articles, so someone outside the Party must be.
Not all OhFU members voted for me in the election, so someone out there must have.
Does this mean there are way more than twice our current active number out there somewhere who believe in our cause?
Does this mean there are 25 or more old fu-ks out there just waiting to become Old Fu-ks?
Could be.. could be..
Let’s see what we can do to turn them around, and get that many more interested.
Action Speaks
We have two things to do, and it’ll take the same action to accomplish both.
Our objectives:
: 1 : Increase Old Fu-ks United Party membership.
::: Higher membership could result in more Congressional candidacies.
: 2 : Gather Donations for the next round of the OhFU SCAM.
::: We need to be ready to rock when Plato puts Companies and Upgrades on sale.
We need to develop, beyond “the Committee” listed at the bottom of this edition, a group of old fu-ks and Old Fu-ks who’ll undertake a search for older eUS players, and contact them directly via game mail.
We can compose a nice letter, and use a GDoc to track who’s been contacted, etc..
Meanwhile, I’m not averse to a bit of “freelancing,” in that I’m welcome to anyone contacting every old fu-k on their Friends list with a nice note directing them to this article.
Any way we do it, “getting the word out” is what we gotta do. It ain’t gonna happen by itself, and I don’t want to do it alone. So drop me a line, let me know you’re on board for this, and we’ll get right to work.
Your Old Fu-ks United Party Officials, “The Committee,”

Are you an Old Fu-k, or just another old fu-k?

If you’re an old fu-k but not an Old Fu-k, you’re doing it wrong.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, maybe I'm just a contrarian. Maybe both.
> We have some less-than-active OhFU members-- they’re not all voting my articles, so someone outside the Party must be.
This may be true. 😃
Even people outside of the eUSA, maybe.
Maybe. 8^D
I'm following your articles, Old Fu-k o/
Dammit. Get off my lawn!
It's true. I'm an old f-ck and I refuse to do anything just because somebody else tells me. F-U.

I'd bet you know a dozen or more old fu-ks just like you-- strong willed and barely playing by instinct, just waiting for something interesting to come along so they can play with purpose and dedication.
and I know that you know this OhFU thing is exactly what they've been waiting for..
/me lurks
Seems like a bunch of noobs trying to be old.
I think I set the break date at the day V2 came in, July 1 2010.
of course, the Party welcomes any warm body.. our "mission statement" (which might be neat if I actually wrote it out) is a good thing for any player.
I read when I can find my "cheaters."
Nice math, almost didn't want to vote this article...it was at 69 votes. Can't remember the last time my hip let me enjoy that number...
My story begins in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say dickety because the Kaiser had stolen our word twenty. I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles. What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem! Now, I'd like to digress from my prepared remarks to discuss how I invented the terlet...
Grandpa Simpson..!
I'm an old fu*k doing it wrong lol.
Good Luck to the Golden Girls
Another old fu*k doing it wrong.
FIST
I'm pretty old.
and I usually vote your media when I see it.
Sometimes my arthritis keeps me from hitting the vote button, but I voted this one twice!

Become a member, send gold to me (Commander) and I'll transfer Comm to you.
I would so join the party but I need to keep foreign cit for the next couple months, the idea is really nice.
I'm older than most, but I'm a contrarian too.
I don't like off site primaries in the T5's, so they're out. Concentrates too much power to 5 peeps, which has harmed the over all game more even than this "new" congressional system by way of retention and disenfranchisement. And fun, really. Elections were once that. Fun.
BUT that sai😛 If I wasn't going to my grave as a contrarian No's Party member, without pants, I'd likely join you other old fu-ks 🙂
I tried to vote in the elections, but one of my tabs was playing some obnoxious 'music'. For the life of me I couldn't find it and shut the whole thing down. That's when I realized there was a live concert going on outside so I left and enjoyed the outside 🙂
