Keep writing eAmerica. Non-Meta players depend on media to keep them involved, informed, and interested. If you’re contributing to the media mod, you’re helping grow the nation.



THE UNITY ELECTIONS WERE A SHAM:

Gnilraps decided to send his endorsement and ignore the party vote. That was his choice to make, but it may have been the final nail in the coffin of legitimacy in this fiasco.

Gnilraps chose Pfeiffer.
The USWP didn’t hold elections. Pfeiffer chose Pfeiffer.
The Feds had an election, and chose Pfeiffer.
The AMP had an election, and chose John Largo.

3 to 1, Pfeiffer is the appointed (not elected) “Unity Candidate”
________________________________________
Now, the conspiracy theorists may very well be correct, and the process was rigged from the start in Pfeiffers favor. But frankly, until this morning the WTP hadn't organized, and only did so after a couple of us thought we ought to hold a vote vs Gnilraps simply sending his own choice in, as Pfeiffer himself did with the USWP.

In reality, the Feds and the AMP were the only two parties to have an actual vote in all of the nation.

Considering the Fed and AMP votes totaled about 100 votes, you can see how a very tiny percentage of eAmericans had a say in this "election".

This was about as hokey a system as I could have imagined. The only worse way to pick the guy would have been to have left out the Fed and AMP votes entirely. But since they cancelled each other out, two men, Pfeiffer and Gnilraps, have appointed your Unity Candidate.

So it's pretty (😉ucked up, in this author’s opinion.

THAT SAI😨 What are you going to do about it? Rally behind one single blocker in protest?

I am. As of today, I'm announcing that I will be voting for fingerguns for POTUS. I hope every single eAmerican who felt outrage at the "Unity" process will join me. Hey if like 3 of you agree, we're as legit as their guy. No one asked for my vote in any Primary, so I'm beholden to no one in this farcical "Unity Election".

Cut~n~paste the above banner.

Good luck eAmerica. It's a dangerous time to be an eAmerican.





The battlefield has been pretty interesting the last few days...

China and Serbia have been squaring off in huge battles over the last few days that have brought nearly every nation into the fray. The appearant goal being for Serbia to cross China and attack Croatia. With a little help from USA and Teden, China was able to repel the Serbian invasion for now.

In the USA, our war with FYROM has turned into a game of tag. Every time we try to get closer to them, they try to RW a region away. Hopefully we will be able to attack them again soon, but it may be hard if they continue to run away.

"My fellow Americans,

For a long time, the United States has been forced to yield to the will of EDEN. For much of our history, this has been a good thing. We have seen great prosperity, but we have also seen how Euro-centric the alliance can be. We have been forced to play the role of servant, rather than take control of our own destiny. We have gotten dragged into endless Balkan Wars, where there has never been a clear victor. One week Croatia rules, the next they are wiped by Serbia. These wars mean little to Americans, and do not serve to further our own cause.

In that vein, I am very pleased and honored to announce that about an hour ago, the United States Congress formally ratified the Charter for the CTRL Alliance.

The nations of Spain and Poland will join us, and our long time ally Brazil in the formation of this new alliance.

This alliance is going to do great things. We are going to be able to live in a world where we are not bound to fight in the same old cyclical battles. New horizons await us.

I ask that you join me there."



Full POTUS Announcement



Congress chose it's next Glorious Leader today: Killah.

The other option was old man Cromstar, who has been Glorious Leader 157 times, which is 99 times longer than Congress has existed.

Congrats to the killer, and Cromstar? I'm sure you'll get it next time, and the time after that, and the time after that, and the...

I'll p-much vote the new guy every time, if it makes a difference (nothing against Cromstar). It didn't today and I didn't bother voting. But we need to build people, it's my priority in game. New leaders.

They seem to be running their own POTUS campaign. And this might not matter, though if they grow to a T5 party before the election, their guy could end up on the ballot. And that could be a problem, since many iNCi will vote iNCi in that case, and draw with them some unsuspecting noob votes, decreasing our Unity vote.

I'm not going to call them a PTO, however. The iNCi have earned the right, with 24 elections behind them, to run, if they want, their own guy. Imo.

But the timing isn't grand, to say the least.



No more Jackassery necessary today, sadly.



The AFA is full of primarily eSerbians, joined by Pizza The Hut (aka AJ Bruno/Cartman Lee/Ronald Gipper Reagan). The National Command Authority (The Executive) has declared the AFA Party a PTO, which means they are enemies of the state, here to overthrow our national interests, and substitute their own foreign (team) interests in their stead. The AFA took 15 seats in Congress last night, far short of any majority, and less than Ajay had predicted. They came in second.

They will use those seats to open the borders to even more foreign PTO personnel, as well as mess with money transfers etc. We can expect an Impeachment Proposal weekly, which strips us of the ability, mechanically, to swap out a bad, or AWOL, POTUS. All bad stuff.




The AFA threw down nearly 900 votes election night, of just over 3k cast.

If we were to run multiple candidates we would seriously (and unacceptably) increase the risk of the AFA candidate taking the nation.

The PP's of the T4 have chosen to each submit a candidate to a slate, and let each party vote for the person of their choice off that slate. The candidate who wins in the most T4 parties will be our Unity Candidate.

In the event of a tie, I have no idea how they'll choose.





As you probably know, I don't love the chosen process for this Unity Election. A lot of voters are being, and will be, disenfranchised.

The reasoning I've heard for not utilizing the voting system we proposed and presented is that most of you would be too lazy to utilize the system we presented, which includes a cut~n~paste security protocol, and takes a whopping 45 seconds to complete.

I disagree. I'd rather give you an option to participate, and if you're too lazy, you stay home.

But friends, we're out of time. The candidates lock in in about one day mechanically. There's now really not enough time to do a serious nationwide vote. So we go with what we have, and we get behind whomever wins under the system they came up with, however flawed.

Next month will likely be a Unity Election as well. Be thinking ahead as to how you would like to see that one run. And you know I'll be there, pulling for the disenfranchised, yet again.

There have always been rebels, and we RL American’s usually like them. It’s in our nature. They are loyalists, but they are typically (read always) unhappy with something going on in eGovernment. In this section, I’ll post links to bitches, or give nod to the best of the angry via my Pissed Off And Proud list.

Nominations accepted.
