Propaganda can be a nice thing to have.

11 Day 654, 17:15 Philippines
I really did not want to get involved in this. It is best for Ariel David Buena and Nina Ayu to hash out their differences in opinion and policy on their own. It's their responsibility to win over voters with whatever campaign slogans and promises they so choose. However, I've grown extremely tired of all the disinformation being spread in our media.

I don't believe in propaganda, although it can be good or bad depending on its use. I do however believe in fact. Cold, hard fact. Let's look at the facts of the blitzwithlimes: The Puppet Master advert and the subsequent article that followed from blitzwithlimes.

September 2: blitzwithlimes approves the citizenship of two people. Al Dente and smily132, two former citizens of South Korea. Reason: He dislikes the process the Philippines uses because it is slow. A fair critique of the system. Not grounds to bypass it and do as you please.
Reference: Citizenship Applications Page 4

September 3: blitzwithlimes approves the citizenship of eight more people. spokhaki, Nizarinho, Borra, Sirhc Aziledrolf, Armin_the_briliant, Sasuk3, cold assailant and Andreas Beauregard. Borra is a member of the Secta del Guru Varnish that PTO'd our country a few months ago. Armin_the_brilliant and Sasuk3 listed on their application that they were coming here to work for a mates company. Five of those eight granted citizenship by blitzwithlimes left the Philippines afterwards. That includes the two who claimed to be here for their mates company. These people now have the right to vote in our elections.

September 3: blitzwithlimes resigns from Congress, resigns as Party President and requests citizenship in USA. Reason: Allow me to enter the USA again, por favor. I'm sure I'll be of some help in the war, eh?
Reference: Citizenship Applications Page 55

September 3: blitzwithlimes returns to the Philippines while his USA citizenship is pending. He publishes the article where he tells us all to blame Nina Ayu when the Philippines falls.

September 4: blitzwithlimes attempts to repair his image, perhaps for the sake of Nina Ayu's campaign, which was damaged by his very own actions. He publishes an article claiming that he is the victim of propaganda. His evidence of this fact is that he is not the type to plan things, followed by screenshots of an IRC conversation where he again professes his hatred of the citizenship approval process as reason why he acted in such a way.

This is everything I've gathered from the events of the last couple of days. I hope you all listen to both sides of the story and base your decisions on that.

lmao Rich

I've seen you hang out on the IRC. Before September 3rd, I've always yelled to Ariel about that policy on applications.

But keep calling me Puppetmaster. I like it.

If there weren't a troll in the first place, there wouldn't occur any feeding.

@roy: PTO - political take over.

its when a group of unknowns (and surely untrustables) come to a country, make a political party, run for the congressional (and possibly presidential) elections, and take the majority of the seats so they could take control of the country.

bur since the approval of the citizenship module, PTO's have become much less of a threat.
