10:00 update: Crisis Over

Day 1,007, 18:14 • Published in USA USA • by ligtreb

7:30 update: The admins have taken the Republicans off of the ballot. I thank the admins for doing this, we all should. So long as the admins hold their decision, THE USA IS NO LONGER UNDER THREAT.

With the USA no longer under threat, elections can return as normal. All people with foreign citizenships are encouraged to keep them.

10:00 update: The admins have spoken. Relevant part:

Q2. What measures do you take against PTO?

A2. We put this question here because we want to bring to your attention to one case in particular, that we dealt with today. We’ve spotted a case of PTO in US Congress elections. To be more specific, the Republican Party entered in the top 5 parties using unlawful methods so we so we had to take action and interfere, thus: the illegal citizen accounts used were permanently suspended, the candidates were removed from the race and so there are only 4 parties participating to this election. All that we can say now is “may the best win!”

Thank you to the admins. Elections can proceed as normal, the USA is safe.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE BELOW, WHICH NO LONGER APPLIES WITH REPUBLICANS OFF OF THE BALLOT. I am keeping the article for historical purposes.

*************************************************************************************


In light of a national emergency, I have pushed the original article I wrote to below the line of asterisks. CHECK HERE FOR UPDATES ON THE EMERGENCY AS THE DAY GOES ON

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, THIS IS THE REAL THING. This is America's biggest challenge since we were invaded a year ago.

All USA citizens are advised to hold their votes.

Pizza the Hut and his group of anti-Americans and PTOers have succeeded in moving into the Top 5, meaning the ballot in nearly every state has an enemy combatant on the ballot. We have to stop them from winning as many seats as possible.

What you can do to help

Before your last login, go on to IRC (chat.mibbit.com , Chatzilla and rizon.net are common ways to get on). Go to channel #ato for instructions on who to vote for. Moving tickets should be provided there for those who need them. If you can't get on IRC, check out the recent topics at the eUS forum.

Please shout this and other relevant articles, so all citizens see them. Those of you active in the military or political parties, make sure instructions are posted on your forums.

Why this is important

Many of the candidates in the Republican Party are proven enemies of the USA, having originated from countries we're at war with. If they gain a majority of congress, it can be the end of our country. I am not joking.

What is being done

Shortly after reset, members from every party leadership that was online, along with members of the executive branch came together to name a winner in each state that we need to elect. This might sound like democracy has been taken away, but in a real democracy, enemies of the state can't get on the ballot. Here are the people that worked on picking the candidates we want to win.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexander Hamilton
Former President Chocolate McSkittles
S.E.E.S. Representative Devon Donaldson
Federalist Party Representative Henry Arundel
Chief of Staff Inwegen
Federalist Party Representative JDR1986
United Independents Party Representative Kazeal
United States Workers Party Representative Laxsnor
Former Vice-President ligtreb
Vice-President Publius
S.E.E.S. Representative Tom McDougal

And this is the list we came up with. We tried to give each party equal representation while choosing the best candidates in each state. Party Presidents (and St Krems) will still have a chance to weigh in on this when they wake up and get online, but the final list will look similar to this. If you need to vote right now, vote for one of these candidates:

Alabama: George Armstrong Custer
Alaska: Beea
Arkansas: twisted-pixel
California: ligtreb
Chongqing: sneakyninjapants
Colorado: Richard Nixon II
Delaware: GLaDOS

How we got here

Dave Richards has an excellent article outlining that the Republican party got all of its members at the last minute. If you think there was something fishy, please use the "Contact" button at the bottom of this page. Dave Richards also helped me with some of the coding for this article.

Rod Damon, who is always right, wrote about this earlier. Read, vote and subscribe.

It looks like America is under threat of a PTO (Political Take Over) yet again. The five parties with the most members get to run people for Congress, the rest of the parties do not. The sixth party in the USA, led by Pizza the Hut (who has been named the #1 threat to this country by the CIA and others), has been gaining members in the past few days at an alarming rate. We cannot let the Republican Party get into the Top 5 or our security will be threatened.

For those who don't know, Pizza the Hut has approved the citizenship of Hungarians and other Anti-Americans. He has a long history of working against our country's interests and with people who are interested in the destruction of the USA.

Congressional ballots are finalized tomorrow (August 24). At 23:59 on Tuesday, the Republican Party has to be outside of the Top 5. If we fail, Pizza the Hut can let all of those Hungarians and Phoenix people onto the ballot, which will make it easier for them to win seats in our Congress and approve more citizenships, making a complete PTO of America much more likely.

I encourage all Americans to be willing to leave their party for a day to join the ADTP, UIP, SEES or whichever party occupies the #5 spot.

To my fellow USWP members: I am a proud member of the USWP, and I know you love this party. However, I ask you to leave the party for a day (until the 25th) to help keep America safe. The USWP is the largest party in the country, it is safe. You can rejoin the USWP on Wednesday and vote for whoever you want, (being in a party doesn't force you to vote for that party).

To those not in a party: I know you probably hate politics, but if you don't join the #5 party today, you might be making the country less safe. It's not like parties bite or anything, you'll be fine. You can leave on Wednesday.

To my friends in the Federalist Party: I hang out in the Fed forum and IRC a lot, I know how awesome you are and how much you love the party. If the Feds are safely at #2 on the list, leave for a day, come back to the Feds on Wednesday. You can still vote for a Fed even if you're not listed as a Fed on your profile.

To UIP, SEES and ADTP members: Don't leave your party right away, but watch the links above, if your party becomes safer at #3 or #4, help out the #5 party. Thanks!

Hopefully, this is an empty threat and Pizza the Hut fails to get enough members to move into the Top 5. But we cannot afford to ignore this threat, the consequences are too grave.

Thank you all for reading and helping your country.
