Lost in Translation
Joe DaSmoe
I would like to thank everyone who helped knock that number down to 14 seats.
We stopped them from gaining a majority, well done guys.
While we were successful, the tips I give here will still apply if this happens again, So I am leaving the article up even though the INCI didn't win a majority this time.
I sit here tonight at my computer and watch the country and community that I have been a part of for two and a half years go up in flames.

It looks as if the Turkish Inci Party (South Carolina Ulku Ocaklari) will win a large number of Congress seats. We are in trouble America. They have stated that they are benevolent and wish to help America. If that is the case, Why would they need to overtake our government? The answer is simple. They plan to make the United States THEIR country. These guys are all coming here from a Turkish forum and are being born in America. There is little we can do to combat this, but we must try. If they manage to win a majority in Congress, our situation will be dire indeed.
I will not sit here and watch us be suddenly overtaken. Here are a few things that we must do to fight back against the PTO of our country.
-Recruit your friends like you never have before. SPAM your referral link in political forums, Facebook, gaming forums, everywhere. Invite players you know from other games you play. We have to grow enough of an active citizen base to outnumber these guys.
-Be vocal in our media. We MUST maintain an American voice in the U.S. media. New players will be lost and confused as to why our media in predominantly Turkish articles written by guys who have a weird fixation on owls. Don't let our new guys become lost in translation.
-Join the top parties. WE must unite. I am from a smaller political party myself, but now it is time to put our petty and trivial differences aside and fight to retake our country. The only way we will be strong enough to combat this is to work together, so kiss and make up.
-Be an active and informed player. Read and follow instructions that the American media publishes. We have to work as a team to overcome this and everyone must know what is going on and be on the same page.
-If you own companies, post a ton of jobs for minimum wage and pay your employees via donation. We cannot allow our tax money to benefit the INCI government. This be absolutely crucial for us to take back our government. Unfortunately, If they win a majority they will likely raise the minimum wage to combat this tactic. So we must do this now. Be sure that your employees understand what is going on here and get them to take notice.
-Work for and buy from American companies. We have to do everything we can to deny the PTOers financial support. Work with high health and be prepared and willing to adapt to a commune style of playing, be willing to work for donations.
United we stand, divided we fall. The next few months will be hell if this PTO goes south, but if we work as a team, America will prevail.

STAND UP PEOPLE
We are Americans and we have a right to be represented in this country. We pay our taxes and fight for USA.
Haters stop spamming!
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/so-called-pto-threat-1691766/1/20
you say stop spamming but you post the same article in your comments?
Well if you dont like it here, then get the hell out of here.
bro you talked like this is a civil war. if you start a war then we will fight.
I'm really surprised while reading these articles. Over 2-3 months iNCi fight for US and do their best.
However, when we want to use democracy we scared them. Why are you so afraid from us? We were born in as an US citizen and we will die as an US citizen.
Please stop RASICM, HAIL DEMOCRACY FAIL HYPOCRISY
there is no intention of pto why so serious ?
This is our punishment for giving INCI everything on a golden plate.
@Hydroloc
You can try the same. If you don't like it, then leave. This is OUR country as well.
But as Gs10 said, if you want us as enemies, we will fight.
You iNCi's obviously dont understand the term racism.
I also remember how they said they wouldn't take political reform here................. yeah really?
Gs10
How are we supposed to react? If you are not trying to control our country then why are you trying to take a majority in our Congress.
Joining our military, fine, joining Congress fine, but why shoot for a majority?
This land is my land , this land is your land

not only did you let them TO your country, but you are letting them destroy your relations with Greece , and that means ruining your relations with Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia...
all of that while Serbia,Poland, Hungary, Spain are getting ready to invade you
really good job who ever is making these decisions on US side...
I really love US population, you are the community that aspire to reach some ideals just like croatia , but at the end you opening your political life (or should I say few tumb people at the top...) to yesterdays bitter enemy could cost you your country...
Look at them, here for 2+ months and they are already calling it their land, how cute.................

I can say many things now but I wont. I'll just say good luck in your fight vs the turkish cheaters!
lol
Xenophobe
traitor much ^?
INCi's are a bunch of liars, they promised to not get involved in politics and we were idiots to believe them.
classy Emerick. I do not hate foreigners bro. I hate watching my country get PTO'd, idgaf who is doing it.
^ I never did believe them and advocated to keep them out, yet no one listened. How typical of America, to react only when it is virtually too late.
This is unbelievable. Too many INCI people are wanting to join. Obviously we have been PTO'ed or are in the process.
^ Further proof Emerick is a fool.
How do YOU define a Politcal Take Over America? A PTO?
Because there is no question that today the iNCi Poltically Took Over America.
+1 to zelja
traitor much?x2
Um I don't want INCI to get a majority but, wow. You resent them not because they come from eturkey, but just because they turkish irl? Do you have problems with our rl English and Canadian citizens too? or is it just Turks?
Bummer.
@Aurelius
I resent ANYONE who claims to want to "help" America then PTO's our Congress. I call a spade a spade bro.
You iNCi's obviously dont understand the term racism.
You said it Hydroloc
@Joe we gotta do something we are in dire shit our focus should be presidential elections and keeping them from getting that position!
Total BS and there are a lot of elites missing from these comments. I'm thinking they are too redfaced to show themselves.
This is what happens when you put your trust into people that have nothing better to do than call each other fgts on the eUS forums. This is what happens when you put people unaware of history into positions of power.
Learn America, learn.
@joe DaSmoe
So, they can help the eUS, live in the eUS, and fight for the eUS, but if the rl turks win an election, that is too far?
Yeah, when Inci tries to take over Congress, that's too far. Glad you've caught on to what we are saying.
"@joe DaSmoe
So, they can help the eUS, live in the eUS, and fight for the eUS, but if the rl turks win an election, that is too far?"
wow dude afc its too far, one thing is let somebody to be guest, other thing is letting him kick you out of your own house : /
well I wont post anymore, after all im only croatian, if the will of the majority of RL americans is to let go of their country to some other nation so be it, but somehow I doubt there are many who share your opinions Aurelius
yeah i get it, when #1 party wins, good; when number 2 win bad. why, because "in real life they are. . ." sorry if I am slow to accept real life ethnicity based arguments, but I would think we could find better reasons to be against a party than that.
@Zelja
we are not guests. This country belongs to us as much as any American citizen.
Thank you PANAM for destroying good relations with EDEN.
Have fun with Turkey.
My support goes to Greece.
CCC: Thats where your wrong. If you want to come to OUR country and work/send money back home, vote in elections then thats fine. But when you create your own political party(left- anarchist) that you know doesnt agree with our values, and you take over half of our congress seats, then thats going to far. Besides, why do you even need a party? If you wanted to create a party, then why didnt you just stay in Turkey? How would you feel if the situation was reversed?
Aurelius: Your missing the point. People are not angry that they come just from Turkey(Maybe some are), its that they are a foreign population that is taking over half of our congress seats. It wouldnt matter if it was even Canada/Croatia. Although they are the USA's Allies, I wouldnt expect them to come here with a huge majority, create their own party, and have half of our congress. I know its a game, and im sure that most of these(INCI) are good people, but in my opinion, you took it to far.
I'd say it's our punishment for alienating so many actual US citizens that they either don't participate or are actively welcoming a PTO. The average citizen is potentially just exchanging one group of exploitive oppressors for another, with the only difference being the passports they travel under.
It may turn out the Turks can provide more democracy and prosperity than the actual Americans have. We only fear the unknown because it could be worse than what we know.
I do wish the Turks would write all their articles in English, if they are actually here to help. Whenever someone uses a language in their adopted country most can't understand, it feeds the conspiracy theories and rightfully so. Save Turkish for your private communications please.
great suggestions
My question is....and I haven't seen it asked....what are they going to do now?
You know, most inci votes are from babies born in the US, if they wanted to PTO the US they could've done it without asking
Also, Turkey's membership in Panam is unrelated to iNCi's presence in the US
Joseph Dinero: If their actions in this past congress session we're anything of a preview they will ignore IES and approve who ever applies for citizenship from Turkey and then ignore the FEC again.
I also suspect they will lower taxes to further benefit their companies and attempt to vote themselves more OMS funding (Which will fail)
To the iNCi guys:
Durdurmak artık çok geç olmadan zorbalar gibi davranıyor. İNCİ gerçek renkler göstermiştir.
In English:
Stop acting like tyrants before its too late. INCI has shown true colors.
Sorry if its poorly translated but I figured sense most of you dont seem to know how to read english i'd translate something for you guys.
Sad day for America.
You have jeopardized relations with Greece (and by extension Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria... all of EDEN pretty much) for a short-term "gain" of an "ally" (Turkey) that now PTO's your country.
Learn who your REAL allies are.
And I ask you, "Where is our big ally Brazil in all this? Hmm?".
Maybe if inci didn't push so hard we might believe them. I believe it may be too late. Perhaps the suggestion to have baby Americans start joining should be RL Americans making baby eTurkish. We could just swap countries. Bah!
that happens when u trust turks
