Does anyone ever really listen to these? I try to pick relevant stuff...
Editor’s Note: If you haven’t already, have a look at my previous article: Elect Custer: Let’s Make Things Interesting!
They Say it Can’t Be Done
In the grand tradition of James K. Polk and Rutherford B. Hayes, this candidate enters the final stretch into the election fully knowing there’s not a fat chance in flying pig hell of being elected President.
And yet, come morning on February 6 we might find, more like in the case of Harry S. Truman, the headlines may all blaring my defeat even as I’m backing the U-Haul up to the White House front steps.
Grassroots vs. The Establishment
Sad but true, you can’t run a country without having some key people in key places who’ve been around and know what they’re doing. I’ll be relying heavily on these people.
Short list, totally unconfirme
😛
rainy sunday as Vice President and Chief of Staff
There’s no one I would want more right next to me, with all access and powers available to the President. And she’s been one hell of a Chief of Staff before, too-- she knows show to run an effective and efficient team. To push the agenda outlined below she’ll need a Co-Chief to help crack the whip-- I totally trust her to choose someone she can work with.
Gnilraps and Jude Conners as Co-Ministers of Propaganda
I expect to run the Media Team into the ground, and it’ll take both of these media masters to keep up with my demands. I’ll also want Catsch73 on as a regular Staff Writer. eNPR is coming back, too-- at least once a week, without fail. We’re gonna need someone new doing the War Maps because…
Alexander_Auctorias is the biggest warmonger I know. I’ve heard he eats Serbs for breakfast, with a little fruit and yogurt. If he needs a Co-Warmonger, because this will be a busy month, I’m sure he’ll choose someone equally bloodthirsty to work with.
I fully expect to spend my first days in office assembling the most badass Leadership Team this nation’s ever seen. Lotta Co- Department heads, because we’re gonna need boots on the ground to get sh-t done. If you think you want to work for me-- for America-- this month you’d better plan of working your fool asses off.
But I digress… we were talking about “Grassroots vs The Establishment.”
“The Establishment” is not only the same people in the same jobs forever, but more so it’s those people doing the same thing the same way forever. This sh-t’s gotta change.
The Departments of Interior, Education and Immigration have been running on autopilot for far too long.
Interior: We’ll be reviving the WWIII-era War Bonds Program and old style raffles to help defray the costs of a massive war with diminished Tax income as we cycle through losing a little before we win a lot.
Education: Update the old tutorials and publish new-- not occasionally recycle the old articles. This has been inexcusable, and it will not continue.
Immigration: 11th Ranked in Population and 5th in Power? Never been an Empire? Oh, my ass! Aggressive Immigration is one key component to fixing that sh-t. Make America the place to be for the strongest fighters in the world, and get their asses in here!
State: Oh, boy, is this Department gonna have their work cut out for them. The War will, as I stated earlier, clearly define who’s with us and who's against us.
That NAP with Asteria has got to go-- immediately. We will not promise to not have War with our enemies.
Poland has been a great ally, or a tough opponent-- I want them back on our side-- solid.
Petty Wars with Canada and Mexico are crap-- they’re either with us or they’re to be wiped, no protracted in between about it.
Secretary of War A^A might as well be Secretary of State as well, because War will drive our diplomatic relations. But I'm thinking that arrogant b-stard Oblige might be our best front man for "we're doing it this way, dammit" diplomacy.
Our Military’s got issues.
We’ve been hearing about reorganizing the United States Armed Forces for months. Disorganized and inefficient, really? Still? Git ‘er done, already, huh?!
And the JCS Military… think it’s maybe time to end the years bitter remnants of a hostile divorce? Again, lots of talk with nothing accomplished. Again, git ‘er done, huh?
Custer for President. Seriously? Yes, Seriously.
Okay, so you see I do have some definite ideas about who I’ll want to work with, and some of the sh-t I’ll want to get done.
You see that I’m not just running off half cocked and playing a happy happy joy joy funny little campaign for the lolz.
Yes, I started late. Rainy started late last month, and came up only 60 votes short-- and almost 50 of those went to me.
“Starting late” doesn’t mean “not serious.” I am dead dog motherfu-king serious.
“Starting late” doesn’t mean “can’t do.” Oh, I can do this. We can do this.
“Starting late” doesn’t mean “too late.” Now is the time and now is when we’ll do it.
Vote for Custer for War and to fix what's broke, or vote for the same sh-t different month.
Your Old Fu-ks United Party Officials, “The Committee,”

Bomb Serbia Back to the Stone Age on Day One
nice
LordRahl2, in the Comments to my previous article, suggested that I'd have the support of Dio if I would change my target to Sweden instead of Serbia.
rainy sunday, whom I love and respect, backed that up.
OhFU Party members know I'm a big fan of listening to Advisors. you see my sig line-- "The Committee."
Once on the job, if I can be convinced that carpet bombing the Swedes back to the Ice Age would be just as beneficial to America's morale and economy, and to our standing in the community of nations, then I'm fine with that.
I don't give a crap who we go to War with, I really don't. I'm just sick of "staying the course" and "playing it safe" because these as national policies have blown chunks for way too long.
eRep is War. the Economy is War. Community is War. New player recruitment and retention is War.
big fat glorious-- and risky, because risk is fun-- War.
Harlot's not here. Custer attacks without initiative.
Cerb's not President. Custer is War.
Snow, Balkans, Tacos, French Toast-- whatever, I'm not particular.
oh, that NAP with Asteria goes-- immediately-- whether we're killin' Serbs or killin' Swedes.
We will not promise to not have war with our enemies.
I'll wipe my ass with that contract on Day Friggin' One.
Hmmm, thank you for the honorable mention GAC.
We are talking about the end times here. The economy is interesting only in that it assists us in bringing forth the inspired will of DIO.
How about lower work tax so I can actually afford to be in the eUSA?
I am quite skeptical of the prevailing school of Economic thought. it's another piece of the "same sh-t" agenda that seems to get rubber stamped because the explanation sounds so complicated it must be true... except it hasn't worked.
it's time we looked at other nations' tax schedules and see what's working for them and whether it would apply here.
whoa-- radical thought! do what works! what a concept!
We're doing what works, this is how we match Serbian tax revenues. We're on the second eNation in the eWorld to achieve 15/15 bonuses. Maybe try doing the math yourself, Custer. The economic benefit of even a couple of those additional bonuses outweigh the added taxation.
do you think I should not even look at the (any) situation because there are no problems, everything's okay? think maybe I could look around , ask for reports, have conversations, and see for myself?
I actually directly said to do the math for yourself. It seems more like you are against something simply because it's the norm. Being the status quo is not a reason to oppose something, just as it is not a reason to support it. What I said was that if you actually investigate you'll find that we have the system we do for a good reason.
Sounded a bit more like "here is the answer, do the math and get the same answer or you are wrong."
Do the math Custer.

Is the USAF self-sustaining yet?
"Self-sustaining?" What does that mean?
http://bit.ly/xnDTx1
Great with math... poor with language arts, I see
Great campaign wish you the best of luck. I'm sick of the same boring buckshot war and you have some great points. Definatly got a couple people to join your cause one onw which is me! Go Custer!
You won't dare go to war, cause everyone knows General Custer is chicken
Call Custer old, but never chicken.
tnx for remanding me yep he is old plus he is chicken and when you combine those two together you get KFC meal xD
I vote to bomb EVERYBODY!
"back to the ice age" lol.
Go Custer Go!
you are just another stinking elitest...
thanks for your support..!
support the anti-hero, no you,thank your campaign merely claims to get things done, any active player knows nothing going to change, support me and you would then see...change
Totally true. There is no hope, nothing will ever change or get better or whatthefuckever. George should just quit.
Trolling is one of the best aspects of this game. But a good troll has to be entertaining. Keep trying, I know you can get better.
Go Custer Go!
Custer if you want to take pot shots at USAF, you will severely limit your future and current party base. The JCS were the ones who left rather than fix the situation, and as Jadiv's recent article demonstrated, this chair will be exactly like the previous ones,it's very clear at this point who got the better end of that "divorce". And you may want to talk with people in-the-know regarding the current state of USAF, would hate for you to sound ignorant.
But hey, it's all satire right? 😉
actually, it's not satire, bro. I've had a serious run at PoTUS in mind for a long time. I've been listening (reading) people's complaints about how things are, month after month.
"business as usual" isn't making people happy, unhappy players don't play, not playing players makes America suck instead of great.
that aside..
I love a strong national military, and don't mind seeing tax funding of it, so long as it's running right and rockin' on the battlefield. if that's not happening, and we've heard about that for a long time, something about "we're working on fixing it" is not working. I don't mean my remarks as a pot shot against the USAF. if they've fixed their organization and management issues, let's all hear about it and those complaints will stop and I won't look at it as something that needs fixing.
the JCS Mil is a good chunk of America's available firepower, and I won't have arguments over what happened years ago blocking current problem resolution and forward thinking.
we're all on the same team, and we ~will~ get on the same page.
Large organizations that are required to be fully accountable will always have issues because they are always under a magnifying glass. Go look at Dmjohnston's multiple slashings of the USAF budget in order to improve efficiency. Unlike *some* military groups, when problems are faced, the USAF works to fix them instead of...I don't know... running away.
The JCS have always been the ones halting forward thinking and blocking problem revolution, they have been doing that since prior to the split, I would know I was on both sides of that fence. You will continue to have arguments because the JCS still have the exact same attitude and ideology as they did 4 years ago, and there are those of us who still remember the harm that ideology caused.
re the USAF : I'll be looking for a report on what the problems have (or had) been, and progress toward resolution.
re: the JCS : I'm simply not going to take "it hasn't worked so far" as a reason to not try.
these things are not going to be handled in the Comments to an article. this is great talk, but the action will be when I'm inThe Big Chair. I can't say (or even see), right now and from here, what the facts are or what I might do about any situation.
"I'm simply not going to take "it hasn't worked so far" as a reason to not try."
You have proven my point.
huh?
my whole platform is about taking different approaches to chronic problems than has been done to date. I'm not on a bent to fix what ain't broke-- I'll be looking for reports and opening dialogues across the board. if it's broke, I probably have a different angle on fixing it
if it ain't broke, then cool by me-- keep on rockin', and let's move on to something else that is a problem.
Just hire Synesi for the issue if you win. He is doing his homework already.
This campaign seems more about reigniting old issues and changing them for changes sake, whereas I think building a new narrative would be a lot more interesting.
Especially when it comes to JCS and economic discussion. My two cents.
Paul,
the overall campaign is much broader than old issues. inordinate focus has been placed on two ongoing matters. but unresolved old issues aren't to be ignored, either.
Go Custer Go!!!
I believe you mean "Dark Horse- Katy Perry (2013)"
not familiar.. I'm more of an old music guy.
Voted!
Good luck Custer.
I like where you are coming from.
Hey, hey, you kids get off my lawn!
What was I saying...
"And the JCS Military… think it’s maybe time to end the years bitter remnants of a hostile divorce? Again, lots of talk with nothing accomplished. Again, git ‘er done, huh?"
What are your plans for the JCS?
[removed]
we're gonna start by talking, and listening.
Well, I gave you a chance to convince me to vote for you and you seemed to not really try. Looks like it's business as usuall in eRep politics.
sorry I couldn't give a better answer, K9Fun661. I did write a long answer but upon second reading it actually sounded like political fluff, so I deleted it.
the "do" of anything has to start with talking and listening. I gotta figure I've got a different angle on this, that I might approach JCS leadership in a way others haven't. doing anything totally depends on what comes from talking, and more so, listening. ultimately, what to do with, or for, the JCS depends on them.
it's entirely possible.. that there's nothing that can be done. what-- bring them back as aline item holder on the Budget? no great shakes, there, they need the hassle a lot less than they'd need the money.
what else is there? I'd like to MAKE EVERYONE SHUT THE FU-K UP about what happened four years ago and what brought it about. but you can't do that. for every one who's willing to set it aside and move on there's two who like being butthurt and angry forever.
all I can do is talk and listen. that was my short answer.
You mentioned me unknowingly. This gets a vote.
