Awkward Elections
•
by Joran
With all the speeches going around about how Congressmen are going to serve eIsrael, there's one basic fact that everyone's failed to notice...
A good percentage of the winners in the current standings aren't actively involved with the betterment of the country.
I don't mean this in the usual sense that my party argues: "Oh Kadima is ruining the nation!" or crud like that, I literally mean that I have never heard of some of these people until today, because they don't actually participate in the newspapers or the forum.
Now there is nothing wrong with going straight from a 2 click a day person to a congressperson, they'll vote as a part of their daily routine, and may even be enticed to become more active this way. But on the other hand, there's a very good chance that they might not ever make their own proposals or keep the gold that they win for themselves, since it's just "the prize for another achievement."
Candidates: Post somewhere, ANYWHERE! Just show us that you care about what happens after you claim the spot.
People: Vote, and make sure that people who will actively work to improve the country win.
In the process of developing a real sign off catch phrase... until then, this has been The Tribal Tribune.

I coudn't agree more with you. It is highly confusing seeing names that haven't been around before, somehow taking 4, 5, or 10 votes. This also happened in the last election. Quite confusing.

I just find it a little funny when you see someone who never is active get more than 5 votes...hmm
Joran you are more then right.
To tell you the truth,by looking at RL friends, and at forums, there are not active people from different kinds.
And then when it comes to elections they ask help of friends and such, or that other 2 clickers who dont know who to vote for just choosing random guy with no reason.
its one of the bad things in the game.
Hey Sadeh, the majority of the people I think he's talking about are within the IWP---I wonder why the leadership didn't void some of their runs...It's a bit strange, no?
Joran, it has already been demonstrated in the former Party President elections that many votes were deleted due to multi accounting. Nothing is new.
Hey, I think it should not been active in the media to be active in game. An active player could be one who invite his friend to join the game, and after that he ask them to vote for him. Till now, there was nobody who will invite more friends than IWP has, such as Sadeh Badeh will be changed from the party president/country president 😃
Bachir, IWP want the majority in the congress. No matter if they will have active player, or just sweet sheep. They have a good shepherd which will lead them to have the brightest nation.
"I wonder why the leadership didn't void some of their runs"- no its not. how can the leadership do such a thing?
"it has already been demonstrated in the former Party President elections that many votes were deleted due to multi accounting"
Such a thing didnt happen, if it really happened the IWP number should have got lowered by some amount, I belive it was glitch, and anyway accusation for MA is not supported by proof.
"Hey, I think it should not been active in the media to be active in game"
you are 100% right and I know several people from this kind.
As I said there are few kinds of inactive people, part of them are people who do not get involved in media, some not in politics, ofcourse there are the 2 clickers.
But perhaps some of them after the winning will be more active which is a good things imo.
Oh and just for the recored,after we got 2 regions back, a lot of israelis that waited in USA and Romania until now came back to Israel since they understood we can really make this nation a better place and got the proof they needed, the IWP own now 120 citizens which is increase of about 30 people, its not cheating all the time, start to internalize that.
"Such a thing didnt happen, if it really happened the IWP number should have got lowered by some amount" - has someone reminded the IWP? "Al Rosh Haganav Bo'er Hakova" (or the thief is always caught red-handed) phrase perfectly fits to your situation.
"I belive it was glitch, and anyway accusation for MA is not supported by proof." -
Long time ago, living under the Turkish reigme, we all knew that the Turks were cheating in the elections by creating multi accounts. I got elected to presidency after the Admins made a statement that there was an electoral fraud, thus deleting 130+- votes (..multi accounts), and by also banning the Turkish candidate. and no, I don't think it was a glitch. glitches happen very rarely in eRepublik and for that reason I don't think it's the case. The Admin's answer Q: Which actions can lead to a massive votes deletion?
A: Banning of accounts is the answer to that question. Quite suprising to hear that from you after you committed to me that accounts were, in fact, deleted.
"the IWP own now 120 citizens which is increase of about 30 people, its not cheating all the time, start to internalize that."
I do not see how having a raise of 30 citizens in the IWP shows that it's not cheating. Can you give names of people that are American or Romanian for example? your argument seems fallacious to me.
Actually its not my job to show you the "innocnets" but yours to show me the blames.
I didnt really say anything about specific deleted accounts,can you show me any deleted account? no you cant.
And what the hell is the relation between turkey to here?
No one got banned, stop accusing for nothing.
The most funny joke :"glitches happen very rarely in eRepublik "
VERY RARE? LOOK AROUND YOU! hahahahahaha
*Ahem*
This topic is about the people running for congress, not any multiple account that may exist in the state of eIsrael, used in obtaining votes, etc. There are different articles existing if you want to argue about the problem, please try and keep the conversation on the right track.
Joran, many congressmen are running just for the money / "drama" from letting "Kadima" win too many sits.
Huffle,what can you say about these two: KoTZeR William Osler and their strange behavior in this article: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-reform-in-the-congress-and-a-new-era--808703/1/20." target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-ref[..]/20.
Also please bring up any comment about strange looking donations lists of this sweet pair of individuals.
I must admit there do seem to be quite a few names who are not particularly active in the political discourse. That applies I note not just to IWP but also to Kadima as well.
Perhaps if some of the vitriol could be taken out, it might encourage more active participation.
For the record, a PP can not void a candidate if there are less than 9 people in that region. If you have say, 5 strong candidates for North District, and 4 unknowns spring up... there is absolutely nothing that can be done to stop the unknowns. Only in the case that you have more than 9 people per region running does the PP have any say in the matter.
This is a problem with Israel's size more so than a PP problem. We all knew that adding regions to a small country and tripling congress size would be a problem. More than a few people won congress seats yesterday with a single vote (their own) simply because Israel doesn't have the population necessary to "fill out" a full and qualified congress.
All I know is I got the most votes 🙂 Thanks everyone

In my opinion, I believe you win some, and you lose some. Bickering and fighting over multi accounting and etc. will not help. The election all comes down to one thing, THE PEOPLE. Candidates need to start getting out there and SOCIALIZING with people who may not be politically active. Most people whom play erepub that are not into politics will not read presentations, they vote for people that have the "coolest" pictures and other BS. As we know, people are running just for the gold as stated above. And also as stated above, people that are running for the lulz cannot be stopped by Party Presidents because of lack of candidates. We need strong ACTIVE candidates to start running for their party. So the only way we can really TRY to stop this is by getting the PEOPLE to understand who they should vote for, and give them great reasons why, even if it takes talking to citizens 1 on 1.
Some things i said were probably repetitive, so my apologies.
