Say something or let it go

The Introduction
I always struggle when it comes to writing. Whenever I write my perceived level of intelligence falls due to my inability to put across what I actually mean. A couple years ago, I could write a thousand word article within an hour, however now it takes hours, sometimes days to write articles. Ideas just do not seem to have the desire to be recreated on the page in a satisfactory manner. Maybe my problem isn’t my ability to write, maybe it’s the seriousness involved when it comes to writing an article. Have I lost track of what a game really is?
This question has festered for a while, so I took it upon myself to find out what a game really means. As a noun, a game is an activity that one engages in for amusement. In this case, I do not believe I can call eRepublik a game, at least not for the past couple of years.
The game may be changing. But the people in charge are staying the same.
The conspiracy of intelligence
Every month, candidates come forward offering the same programs, whether they are that of their opponents, or those of past Presidents. This cycle allows for the perception of change due to the many ways that an idea can be presented. This is the problem with Swiss politics, even global politics. With low levels of activity, the same people coming back to fulfil their positions, we are left with the same outcome each month.
Disappointingly the illusion of choice is still prevalent. The choice will not be based upon policies; however it will be based on the candidates themselves. With such little complexity in the game, the policy objectives of the candidates are limited. What I write will just be a reiteration of what I wrote last month as will my opponents articles.
While I have been sitting at the cross road between rewriting, radicalisation and the alternative campaign my understanding of the architecture behind choice has been revisited. Is the flashy campaign as effective as subtle nudges towards an end goal?
Therefore the reason behind running for Country President is that of faith, hope and trust. I ride with the trust of my Party President, the faith of the party members and the hopes of a boy.
Final Note
Do you have faith?
Can I win your trust?
These are my hopes.
Thank you for your time.

Yay
Best person and candidate evar and only two are like this in this game and one of those is Ecofreak.
very well written Dan/
Good luck !
If you don't consider eRep a game then it becomes a chore. One for which you are not paid real money, takes your time & effort plus causes mental and emotional distress. I can relate. My reasons for continuing to "play" are simple, I enjoy the people. eRep is a means to an end, not the end itself (at least for me).
I know that if you keep working at it you will be a great Swiss leader. Remember why you want the job. No amount of self gratification is as sublime and knowing that you accomplished something to benefit others.

Good Luck Dan
I will vote for the candidate that gets Asmadi to actually take some sort of responsibility (VP, Minister, whatever) or makes him take up a position with some sort of power to steer something. I want to see him use his so called vast array of skills and intelligence to turn Switzerland from this awful destructive path (that he has so well pointed out as us being on), to a more illuminating glorious victorious path that he and his supporters have in mind. Just force him to participate, please, his bitching is making my eyes bleed.
Do it Dan and I will make one hell of a propaganda to get you in the seat. Promise.
Asmadi as MoFA would be wonderful right?
At this point I don't even care anymore, I just want to see him and all the other (proclaimed) RL Swiss + get what I can and his camp to show us "the way of glory". They keep throwing around what a failure everything being done is without giving no insight what the correct or much better way would be. Just let them do it, please. I need me some fireworks by crashing and burning the plane for new years eve.
But don't get me the wrong way. I'm not referring that your time will or would be a failure Dan. You can do good and I believe it. I'm only referring to the people constantly unconstructively undermining decisions and bitching about everything with absolutely no reasoning.

Hater
Lol how am I hating. I'm just asking to see all the superdooper plans you guys got up your sleeve put in motion, because everyone elses plans, according to you guys, apparently "suck".
Yes you are. Why can't you accept this fail?, why?, is it because they are your friends or maybe u are imagining a future full of happiness with 2 more regions and a lot of new people with participation in politics, sometimes the truth is not easy but if u can't accept this simple fact then you are just another guy without any reason to improve just someone who wants the best for your friends and nothing for the people who really cares, rignt now for others countries we are like an useless
country, it is not about an agreement is about what we can do to just idk being a respectable country, a respectable community no the typical conformist without any interest to grown and fight for our goals: being an awesome country with respectable citizens no this mess of subordinate people by a single party is my plan that's all, I dont care if we're stong or not I just want respect from others.
Just get on with it and MPP with solvenia! We all know that's where this is leading.
It worked last time, we got regions back.
