It's No Use Pretending I'm Not Biased, So I Won't

Boy, I was a ray of sunshine when I wrote my last article wasn't I? I just want you all to know that in RL I managed to make what seemed impossible, possible. Now that I've managed to do that, I have taken a mental health day and have chosen to spend it with you all! Don't you feel special?
You should! 😉
Well, it is election time again. The last time was my first presidential election ever. Two candidates had come to the forefront and I wrote an unbiased article about the merits of each candidate. Both presented themselves well and there was little to no mudslinging. A very nice election. Now the aftermath of all that was quite another story, now the stuff of legend. We call it the "Ten Minute Coup". Maybe Digits will tell you that story someday in his paper documenting the history of eIreland. Highly entertaining and I recommend you read it when you get a chance.
This election we have four candidates listed. President Patton, Donovan Thomas, 5n4keyes, and Paidraig Pearse. I won't be doing an unbiased article this time. Simply because I am not unbiased in the least. Patton is my current boss and Donnovan is my mentor and friend. So right away you know I'm biased. It's no use pretending I'm not, so I won't.
President Patton has done a great job for eIreland. I am eternally grateful to him for giving me the opportunity to shape young eCitizens. I know together along with my fellow Ministers, we have made a huge difference in how many new citizens are retained. It has been a very satisfying experience and one I wouldn't mind continuing for another month. If he is elected again, I would be happy with that, because I know he has Irelands best interests at heart. That I can assure you.
I also already know who I'm voting for. And while I have a tremendous respect for my boss, I will be voting for Donovan Thomas. My vote has to go somewhere and that's where it is going. So you could say that this is my formal endorsement for Donovan.
You will not find anyone more dedicated, passionate, and determined than Donovan Thomas. He is a dedicated soldier, a skilled diplomate, a savvy business owner, and a compassionate advocate for our most vulnerable citizens. His commitment to transparency and strong ethical values sets him a cut above the rest. He recognizes the need to bring Ireland to the world stage in a responsible and proactive manner. Everything that he undertakes is done with thoroughness and great detail. There is very little in Ireland that he hasn't left with an indellible impression whether it is military, economic, political, or actions that affect the day to day lives of citizens.
Independent, Trustworthy, Dedicated, Courageous, and so much more. That is why I am voting for him. I sincerely hope you do too.
Until next time.

Well PP isn't actually running it was a auto mistake when we made the party if im not mistaken.
Thank you Edana. I am more than honored.
Good to know. 🙂 I had wondered since I hadn't heard anything from him. Snake started part of a manifesto I believe.
Im doing mini articles rather than a huge wall of text, I happen to like my eyes, and I would assume the citizens of eIreland also like there eyes 😛 lol
Fair enough. 🙂 I would like to see more, Snakey. I still don't know much about you. Although the interview you just did helps.
Expect a few more articles over the next 24hours 🙂
He is the most expierienced in eIreland.
Yeah, what an e-sexy line-up this time, huh?
How may ways do I adore them? Let me count?
Hmmmmmm.
patton, redhead, smart, questionable past lol, worked his a** off this term, noble Boss, kinda cute, good at his job. Also mates with my lovely gg. So all good.
DT? Well, tribesman, kinsman, busted a gut to get to soldierly rank with no help from anyone 😉, nice writer, good colleague, switched on, good taste in movies 😃. Makes good coffee. (tho'not as good as Kit yet)
Snakey. Jeezus, man of my dreamz and my nightmares. HOT solider, and yeah, I mean one of the HOTTEST ever. Another real dodgy past, but we all love a dude with e-baggage, hey?
pearseman not runnin? Thanks be to eGod. We live another month.
Hmmmmmm, so many men, so little time.

(this is some place for e-women to live, we really should be capitalising on this. eIreland needs more women, and boy have we some hot e-men. Not just the preso candidates btw. A LOT.
lm*ao. mmmmwwwwuuuuhahahahaaaaaaa.
@ Niall H He has one of the most experience points, yes. But most experience points versus most experienced is two entirely different things, Niall. So because you found the game sooner than I you have more experience than I? I think that is quite subjective. No one knows what kind of RL experience a person brings to the game. So you can't go by experience points alone.
The truth is, I haven't had much dealings with Snake. I don't know him. I haven't talked to him. I've read an article or two from him which are war related. That's about it. You can't expect me to chose him based on that. 🙂
He has been eIreland president twice, that counts as lot of experience.
The last time we gave youth a chance was with starks. DTs time will come but i hope its not this month
"So because you found the game sooner than I you have more experience than I? I think that is quite subjective. No one knows what kind of RL experience a person brings to the game. So you can't go by experience points alone."
Hmmm, go easy there on Niall, Edana. If anyone knows about experience points, its Niall. This is a reincarnation of a previous character for him, and he busted his guts to rank up again. Had he been in his previous citizen still, he would bring shame to us all.
Yes, RL etc is important...but this is a smart cookie you are talking about.
It was one line. Maybe taken outta context. He's not back here yet, so I'm covering his back.
Take it in good spirit. I mean it that way.
and re Snakey? Sure, thats all part of the mystery of him. He is a silent warrior. With occasional political outbursts ;0)
Thanks General!
I know Edana i just confused myself why a wrote such a small comment.
Im stuck on who to vote as i liek them all.
Patton - Got to like him, has been one of the best Presidents weve had with all his updates and general enthusiasm. And Gordongekko? Wow now that is a guy i look up too. I joined eRep a long time ago but was banned for being account sitted. Throught that gordon took me in even before the mentoring scheme was concieved. He gave me anything i need, be it advice or gold to borrow.
GordonGekko is the real humble behind the scenes guy who does it all he is eIreland's JESUS.
Snakeyes - Now he is a man with expierience under his belt. Im not on about EXP if you knew more well you would know im all for voting for the person not exp. Snake has the expierience of being here from the start of beta. He really knows what to do. He may be quiet sometimes but it does not mean he is doing nothing. How would he of built up a HUGE amount of Gold and Profitable businesses.
Donovan Thomas - Ive only got to know him recently as i helped to formulate the neutral nation alliance charter and images etc. i know he will put in 110%. Everythign he does is to the best of his ability and he does a awful lot. He may lack a bit of expierience but he would definately seek help and act on it.
Im gonna stop as my arm hurts 😛
(Hope i don't look as oblivious as i did before)
Niall
@Niall. I'm really enjoying you. 🙂 I'm glad you commented.
Now that you have come to Snakey's defense I can get a better picture of who he is. Because frankly, I haven't had many dealings with him at all. I've read the histories, but they only tell you so much. I've read the article he's published and I"m interested in seeing more. That's what I've got to go on. Not a whole lot. Mystery is all well and good, but it doesn't help to make a decision now does it. 😉
Now Patton, if he is elected, I am confident he will continue as he has been. In which case, Ireland will be just fine. That's based on my personal dealings with him, which I have already stated. If Donovan wasn't running then I would certainly vote for him.
And Donovan. You are absolutely right, that man puts 110% into everything he does. His ideas are brilliant and prolific. He may not have as many exp points as the others, but he certainly is coving as much ground as he can as quickly as he can. Ireland is most definitely better for having him. I think he will make a great president.
One thing is for sure, it will be a great race no matter what the outcome.
@Grainne. I'm taking it in good spirit. I love spirited discussions and I will admit when I'm in the wrong. Niall has defended himself nicely and I like him all the better for it. 🙂 Actually, the more I see him comment on the Dail, the more I like him. lol
@MooMooHead. That is true. He has been president twice before. But if someone hadn't taken a chance on a young Snakey he wouldn't have been President even once now would he have? The history is not kind to him either, which is why, I am very interested in additional articles from him.
Well either way we will have a good CP. Im still finding it hard to choose as i like each one in a different way :/
Honestly come on IRC and speak to Snakey. Ive only started chatting to him recently and he has been happy to help me in any matter how trivial.
Well nice talking, as im off soon after i release my new IDF animation 😉
Well we have a lovely bunch running xD and my vote is probably going where the party thinks best. Best of luck to you all. All pretty worthy of it.
