Gobba on the German Presidentional Election
Lhasa
After the article was deleted the following follow-up article was written: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/gobba-on-the-german-presidentional-election-response-819145/1/all
Hello Germany, Germans in the occupied Regions, friends of Germany and also enemies of Germany!
I will run on Friday in the upcoming elections and will not step down, these are my reasons:
Current Administration
Like many Germans, I am also very unsatisfied with the way this administration handled the current crisis.
How could they just presume that after the trial month was over they were admitted into Atlantis without a problem? How could they have let the Swedish boy filled with hate and ambition destroy that alliance and how could they then have let it come to this... Germany is nearly taken over by Swedish and Polish forces and only now with 3-5 Regions remaining are they seeking the help of Sweden’s biggest and strongest opponents.
Why were they unable to do what needed to be done for so long? Why did we not even try to befriend Hungary, Italy or other Peace nations, when the Swedish thread was eminent? I remember everyone cursing when Turkey, a long standing and trusty ally, proposed an mpp without consulting them first, instead of embracing the unexpected help! Those are just questions that touch what went wrong on a fundamental level.
I’m not even sure it is worth mentioning that we had no transparency in government; that it is the same people doing the same things they have been doing since Germany “united” with Austria. It’s the same corrupt and undemocratic mess Germany has been in ever since it was liberated.
Under DKN a foundation for a democratic Germany was laid, under Isy this foundation was destroyed and we all hoped that Starkad would hold true to his promises and bring Germany back on a true course, but as we know now, this was only a masquerade that he was able to keep up for as long as Germany was left in peace. After only one month it was the same people again.
It also pains me to even mention that the German army is now not able to supply its regular soldiers anymore. What finally after month of chaos seemed to be working within the first few attacks is now back to same status it had for months.
Why am I pointing all this out? Because I received a “personal” letter from our minister of foreign administration with a plea to endorse Starkad in the next presidential election!
I say a threat of a possible political TO is not the reason to justify Germany abandoning its democratic ways! When Germany was liberated the first President and the first congress agreed that a German President steps down after two terms! Who are you to dismiss these basic agreements?
But mainly I say, that this administration should have the balls to take responsibility for all that they didn’t achieve, that they neglected and messed up! You do not deserve another chance! And trying to pressure the remaining citizens into voting for you by threatening them, or using our soldiers to achieve yet another victory should not be methods a true government applies... not even in times of war!
Possible Political Takeover
To the people that are trying to interfere with German politics to benefit their country, I have the following to say:
Dear Enemies,
Sweden and Poland
If you have your hands in a possible takeover I urge you to consider the following: Do you really want to be known as the country that finished off the Germans through a cheap and dishonorable Political Takeover rather than on the battlefield? Are you that insecure about your military strength? And of course as this is a Game (
😉some people tend to forget that), wouldn’t you rather want an honorable enemy that can fight back, that would make this game a challenge again, rather than a nation occupied, destructive and full of hatred and despair?
I would ask of you to let the Germans have their election and then continue the war! And if you truly want an honorable and capable enemy rather than what Germany is now I would ask you to vote for me as well. Maybe then one day you can say that you defeated Germany with pride, not guilt, or that you are still fighting them
😉
Hungary and Italy
If you are having your hands in a possible takeover please hear this message.
I know that not everyone in those countries has a bad feeling when they hear about Germany and I myself have several friends among you. Please do not take our chance to fight our enemies that have insulted us so gravely. As they are also your enemies you should forgive Germany their past insults and the conflicts we had.
As should be known all over the world, Germany was very split about joining Atlantis over Peace and has gotten the reward for that, partially due to the fact that your soldiers have been supporting your supposed enemies just to punish Germany. I say enough of that! Let’s draw a line and finally unite toward the same cause! With this, your nation can truly show greatness! And we can fight an honorable fight!
Those are the agendas I represent! I am a German that is fed up with the way this has been going and I am willing to work for an alternative that would be respectable and true to all involved!
This is why I ask everyone to come and support the cause of a Free Germany lead by a just man that is true to his word! A Germany that will be a valid ally and a rousing enemy!
Please come and vote for Gobba in Germany on Friday

Gobba ftw
Best wishes on your way to become president. If you have a ticket für me i will come to vote you...😁
To all Germans who are able to voted. Please vote Gobba he is the best candidate with the most expertise. He should be President.
Good luck!
If I were on eGermany, I would vote for you!!!
We need honored people ruling, not liars and corruption.
Join PEACE, if you want to, after you win these election Gobba.
Gobba,buddy,if I would be a German you surely would have my vote. Anyway, best wishes.
I never understood why Germany went to Atlantis... Now, it's time to help in your defense and to secure your borders!
PEACE members, unite and defende Germany, when Gooba wins the elections!
you're the good German. with your work for this game, i hope your people must choose you as President.
wish you luck.
voted!
Gobba
Since you are deliberately feeding wrong "information" to your voters:
With the exception of Chicco...not a SINGLE person of my staff has worked with ANY previous administrations. Please do not pretend things that you know are not the truth.
Also, I'd like to dig a little deeper.
We hear alot of critizism in this article, but we do not hear a single solution? How would you like to support an army with a tax income of 10 Gold a day?
What would be your contribution to eGermany, how would you run this country?
When I asked you to be part of my government team you were the ONLY candidate that declined. What did you do instead? You proposed to work for me on a contractual basis....being PAID was more important for you than serving your country.
When eSweden started threatening our nation I asked you if it was possible to rent the advertising space on your webside and use it to raise funds and recruit soldiers, what was your reply?
"I would have to take 5 Gold a day for that"
Why is it my impression that the first action as a president would be to grant yourself a nice and nifty salary of 300 DEM a day?
Gobba for president! 😃
lead your nation out of that filth your predecessors got you!
And yes, we hate the germany who stole the q5 hospital from Indonesia, who backstabbed the liberating PEACE forces they asked help from, the germany who acted and spoke as though they were a world-power, while having nothing!
And yes, we fought alongside ex-ATLANTIS members against you, and also moved in on the congress elections to take over your country for no real reason.
If you can change the course of your country, prove germanys honor, then i salute you even as a citizen of a hostile country!

I got to say it mate, I certainly like what you are saying. Starkad had his chance, he did some good, he did some bad, but it's time to move on, bring some fresh blood to the table.
Even as a Polish Citizen (yes Im polish)... I like your reasons and administration. If i would be German I would vote for you.
Because Starkad, I don't need to! I run a 1000G worth Organisation with 12 Shareholders that know I am very correct when it comes down to money, I also would not push myself with weapons... as every president has done so far... I oppose that kind of corruption!
To answer your accusations about my not helping Germany, I have been a congressman for this country for over 6 month, have been an official ambassador and even your replacement as the minister of interior.
I declined your "offer" because I would not be taking advantage of by you... your response when I asked you for a real task/position was that you didn't think me skilled enough...
I also try not to mingle my political views and positions with the map and the tools I create... that is why the German government gets the same conditions any other nation receives!
About what I will do...
I said it and I'll say it again:
I will be fair and reasonable... I can talk to people and not just try to sit out whatever problem occurs...
About your staff... maybe you should have talked to them a little bit more. Then you would know that there have been others.
Good luck Gobba!
you had several options to secure your country starkad but apparently this was only a new challange for you, and you couldn't handle it quite well.
Gobba, about the PTO: we're talking people who used multis to TO our congress here. They might not be so very receptive to arguments like those you presented here.
It would seem that we Germans are actually going to manage not having a German as President after these elections. Since we're probably not even going to have a country anymore, it doesn't matter all that much - I just find it very, very embarrassing...
Hungary needn't worry about the stolen hospital, because as of yesterday, it has been FULLY paid off.
It would be unwise of Poland and Sweden people to stop fighting now.Now,when Germans are disorganized,they should strike as strong as they can.
good presentation
good luck gobba
People, please. We really cannot've handled the current crisis much better. If we had run back to PEACE then we would have almost 100% surely been rejected, and even if we weren't rejected, we would show once again that we are untrustworthy. I am glad to have taken help from our long-standing allies in eTurkey, but we needed to show our integrity by staying with the allies in our former alliance that would support us, and though there were few nations that would stick with us, we almost had the help we needed to hold SH. I don't want to point fingers, but I was against joining either alliance unless one attacked us, and holding our neutrality and not getting caught being a "backstabber". It's true, PEACE did free us, and honestly I secretly preferred them simply because I was iffy about joining the same alliance as eSweden, but we need to work with what decision had been made, and we are suffering the consequences. First Austria, then the Homeland. It has been an extremely troubling time for eDeutschland.
Gobba! Grüß aus Ungarn! Du bist einer der wertvollsten Bürger in die Erepublik!
go gobba the german refugees that are taking hospitality in japan should support you
Tylah, it's a question of government, not the nation itself. The Western Atlantis Bloc has proven to be spineless political jockeys when it comes to standing up to the wanton aggressive of the Eastern Atlantis Bloc.
@ Starkad
😁 I didn't expect your replys to be that amusing 😁
I'm not even sure if it's worth responding to them...
Telling you about the company was to show you that if I wanted I could have money for myself personally... I don't, therefore I can assure everyone I'm not corrupt... you receiving weapons when other, better skilled soldiers are not is indeed corrupt.
What you say about the ministry thing is a joke as well... isy asked me I did and that's that... Yes it took my a week to finish your statistics... after it took you three weeks after collecting them to hand them to me.
You still did not answer my questions about you taking responsibility or why you claim to be above the fundamental laws this Germany was founded upon... instead you attempt to attack me...
@ Tylah
Germany shall be appreciative of any help it get's ... it took DKN to step in for this administration to accept that!
and let's hope sweden and poland prove themselves to be honorable enemies and give Germany a chance to present themselves a potent opponent!
"Maybe then one day you can say that you defeated Germany with pride"
yeah, we've only done that twice before..
i hope you win the election 🙂
Gobba, I think with your presidency will make better the international opinions about Germany. If I remember well, you weren't for that stupid idea that you joined Atlantis, but after that you didn't start to work against your goverment. I think you are the one can rebuild your country. I wish in the future Germany and Hungary won't be enemies, but we will be friends.
Hmm. I can't exactly argue with the fact of governance. I'm just saying that ATLANTIS was the choice we made and we have to live with it. I just don't understand wether Gobba means attempting to join PEACE after all this or rather accepting help from individual nations regardless of alliance. I support the latter, but sadly i don't know what foreign government's and people's have approached us.

Gobba,
eSweden will not try to PTO eGermany. I wish you good luck with your campaign and if you win I hope our countries can get a good peace.
Well, you talk with sense, so I do hope you will win this.
Good luck from Poland 😉
Well, Ph Brodin summed it up pretty well 😉
I resigned.
Best wishes
Thank you ekszer 🙂
I am MortenLond, and i endorse this candidate!
good luck, but the territories might be taken over by time we choose a president. 🙁
LONG LIVE THIS GREAT NATION
CHANGE - YOU CAN BELIEVE IN
Germany is not going to last until friday.
"Germany is not going to last until friday."
interesting..
You won't lose all your territories, if Indonesian congress accepts the MPP with Germany, it will be impossible for Poland to conquer Saarland, but as I can see Poland won't dare activate Brazilian MPP, so they won't attack Rhineland-Palatinate. So two of your regions are safe.
The Church of Burning spirit endorses Gobba.
The current administartion and the administration beforehand has done nothing put pile fail on top of fail.
The revival of Germany is upon us.
I will vote for Starkad, he has done a damn good job and I still believe we will win this war. Under his administration we managed to do the best that we could with what was available.
As for him fighting? No that is not corrupt, he got weapons just as every other soldier in the army. That's the point of being in the army, unless you have some form of confused concept of it's purpose.
How have we failed in this administration? You keep saying how bad he did but what is it that he did in particular? I don't see any real evidence that states that he and his administration has done just a shitty job except for people simply saying it does. Gobba you are not a bad candidate, you have experience in many matters, but I still believe Starkad would be the better man for the job.
Nolan I don't feel like starting another argument with you 😁 and seeing as you are part of the current administration your opinion doesn't surprise me...
Simply put, have a look at this picture http://www.egobba.de/images/germany_sp.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.egobba.de/images/germany_sp.j[..].jpg
and now tell me again what is was that you guys didn't mess up!
Join PEACE, vote for Gobba!
You do realize that regardless of the administration we would have been invaded?
You make lofty claims but what differentiates you from what you claim that the past presidents did. I support Starkad and Isy and DKN they are the founders of modern Germany(or what's left of it). They are not corrupt. Sure they may have not lived up to all their claims but they certainly did try and alienating them for their misgivings is not a good way to take on a presidency.
Nolan:
You do realize that regardless of the administration we would have been invaded?
If you joined PEACE in the first place... you would still live in the "AGU" with all Austrian provinces. You would still have all your provinces.
Now what you have.. Austria said Bye Bye. You made enemies with your former best friends Hungary.Your goverment know for the war a very long time and it was still unprepeird for the war.
In the end the only reason you still on the map is that your enemies PEACE helped you again.
Starked is direct
Metallion, Starkad came after the joining of Atlantis, thus your argument is invalid..
