Whitelaughter Running for Government this month in South Australia

Day 760, 05:06 • Published in Australia Australia • by whitelaughter

I intend to run for congress/Senate this month in the state of South Australia as an Australian National Party candidate.

Why am I doing this to myself?

Every month we see fine eAussies burn out and leave the game, fed up with the infighting and pettiness in eAustralian politics. I'm sick of seeing friends leave the enation, or worse the game; and sick of them having to put up with this rubbish. My primary goal is to be pillar of support to the many fine eAussies who are striving to strengthen our enation, being there to help them, vote for them, and when all else fails, being a shoulder to cry on. If I can slow the loss of players from eAustralia, I will consider my time in politics well spent.

What have I achieved so far?

Despite never having served in eAustralian politics, I formulated the policy for focusing eAustralian Land workers in the Grain and Diamond industries , have critiqued the new defense policy, while my draft for a new ecitizenship message was put forward by our previous President Cerridwen Voeland. My primary interests so far in this game have been military (I have fought against PEACE throughout the eworld and am currently in ACUK) and in building up new players. You can read about my early life in erepublik here.

During the war against eBrazil, my major achievements have been PMing every politician who hadn't moved to WA,urging them to do so (gaining the gratitude of the two-click politicians, who weren't aware of the crisis), and of course supplying what resources I could to other fighters.

Having ranked to a General, I am inflicting a reasonable amount of damage, but given the need to inflict as much damage as possible it has been more productive for me to Gift more powerful soldiers than to Tank myself: while helping new players get their first fight creates a new warrior to fight with us.

Why am I running in South Australia?
Like so many eAustralians, I moved to South Australia from Western Australia to push the Wall up to help resist the eBrazilian invasion. As a citizen soldier, I feel ideally suited to represent those ordinary eAussies determined to serve on the front lines. Additionally, South Australia's central location means that her interests need to be carefully defended.


What else do I intend to pursue during my term in office?

In addition to improving the economy, I wish to complete the task of replacing the new citizen message - the current message is full of dead links and is generally useless. Cultivating our new ecitizens is the first priority of government. I also intend to exploit my political status militarily, remaining on the front lines (as politicians are automoved by region overruns).

If you have questions, please comment on this article (or PM me if you wish a private discussion). I can also be found on IRC most evenings.
