A Streetkid Named Desire

42 Day 949, 18:38 USA
Well, it was punk-fifteen in the evening
And it was time to set the town on fire
I saw my boots and my hair
As reflected in the mirror
Reveal a streetkid named desire


America,

Today, I bring you good news. I am announcing my candidature for President of the United States. I hadn’t intended to run until very recently; I consider Choc to be a damm good president, one of the best, and one of the few guys in this game who is worthy of general respect. However, he has indicated that he wont be standing again. As a result, I’ve been bullied into running by good friends and a few other cool people.

I’m not going to go into a mass of detail about myself just yet; in all honesty I haven’t prepared that article yet, and I really don’t like doing things in half measures. Perfection is what I want, and is what I strive to achieve. Thats all well and good, I hear you cry, but who am I?

I’ve been playing this game over 900 days; you’ll notice the signup date on my profile, and think thats a lie. My previous account I got rid of when I attempted to quit last summer; the reasons for which will most likely be covered in a different article. Needless to say, this game is basically crack for the mind, so I returned pretty quick after that. Currently, I am the Speaker of the House of Congress, was, until the dissolution of party activities yesterday, an elder in S.E.E.S., and a few other things here and there; the occasional advisory role, you know, things like that.

Over the coming days, I will be talking more about myself, my plans, you know, all that stuff. I want to keep this article short, just a brief hello, and statement of intent will do for now. If you have questions, or wish to help with the campaign, please find me on IRC - #GF-potus on irc.rizon.net

I love you all.

Save our oceans, vote 'no' to Necrosis.
This is simply a ploy to place the blame for the deaths of millions of innocent dolphins squarely on the shoulders of the United States Government, while Necrosis lines his pockets with dirty oil money.

fwiw, GF is probably one of the few that knows just how overwhelming the job of CP is, yet still has the strength/mindset/whatever it is to push forward and give it a shot.

I find it very disappointing that a lot of people are going to discount you because of your past and mannerisms.

To be fair, GF was the best CP the eUK never had. He would make a great POTUS - don't discount someone because of the country they originally came from - it'll be your loss as a country.

This surprises me. I like GF a lot, but eUSA, are you all morons? One of the principal architects of the PEACE betrayal, and you clowns are now trying to get him elected as POTUS? If he gets the presidency you can all stfu about us being traitors, because you'll have just elected one of the "PEACE" gang you all bitch /so often/ about.

GF would be an excellent President, as one of the leading figures in Phoenix I fully endorse his candidature.

As far as annoyance is concerned, this guy is on a par with Ajay Bruno. The only difference is that GF can string a coherent sentence together. Still, gross.

Sorry 4 spam.

This is only 4 those that don't like v2, and 4 those that love v1. We love v1 just the way it is (need to get some bugs fixed though), and we don't want to lose our loved game, that's all.

Please sign this open letter:

<a href="http://forum.erepublik.com/showthread.php/98501-We-don-t-want-V2.">http://forum.erepublik.com/showthread.ph[..]-V2.</a>

I know this won't change things much, but at least we can show them how many of us dont like v2.
I just hope that they will be smart enough to leave v1 servers as independent part of erepublik. Otherwise, they will lose many active players, and we really don't want to lose our favourite game.
Please save v1.
