The Alabama Lesson

Day 1,623, 18:40 Published in USA USA by JLake4

I ran for Congress in Alabama last Congressional election. Let me give you a timeline of the events leading up to reset on the 26th:

5:00 Game Time: I wake up and check in, see I'm losing 14-3 to a guy called Weezly. Upon further investigation, I learn he's Bulgarian.

6:00 Game Time: After further investigating, I learn that Bulgarians are not, in fact, friendly to the USA on the whole.

6:15AM-9:15 Game Time: Class IRL

10:00 Game Time: Come back to 20-5 defeat looming, refuse to panic since there's still time to go before reset, surely when the alarm is raised mobile voters will knock this guy out.

10:00 Game Time - reset: growing despair and rage as the PTOer gets more and more votes and the American candidates get few to none in response. No mobile voters to be seen.



When I contacted people, posted in the feeds on the game's home page, and bugged everyone who'd listen to me on the IRCs, I got no response. Votes continued to pour into other races, but not one in which an enemy of the state was winning. Oblige won in California by 36 votes, which could easily have trounced this PTOer. 19 votes wasted in Florida. Votes wasted across the country on elections that were foregone conclusions, or at least didn't have as a consequence the entrance of new Serbian and Bulgarian PTOers.

Let me expand that timeline a little further:

4/26: Bulgarian SnT George gains eUS citizenship from Congressman Weezly of Alabama.

4/26: Bulgarian katu66a gains eUS citizenship from Congressman Weezly of Alabama.

4/27: Serbian Bleya gains eUS citizenship from Congressman Weezly of Alabama.

4/27: Serbian ZordanKV gains eUS citizenship from Congressman Weezly of Alabama. He also happens to be commander of a Serbian MU.

4/27: Serbian milosforzajuve gains eUS citizenship from Congressman Weezly of Alabama.

4/27: Serbian Tasayzf gains eUS citizenship from Congressman Weezly of Alabama.

4/27: Montenegrin UnReaL93 gains eUS citizenship from Congressman Weezly of Alabama.

4/27: Serbian borissajkas, a former CP, gains eUS citizenship from Congressman Weezly of Alabama.

4/27: Serbian vruci91, gains eUS citizenship from Congressman Weezly of Alabama.


April 27th was a busy day for Congressman Weezly.

So what, may I ask, is he doing in office? Well, it's quite simple, he didn't just slip through the cracks, someone wedged the door open for him and he just walked into office, along with six Serbs, two Bulgarians, and a Montenegrin. And now they're all waiting in the PTO MU "REVOLUTION" and the PTO Party "Democratic Party eUSA" for more doors to be left open by negligent powers to be.


Kenyan? lolno the Republicans have it all wrong, he's a Serbian!



The Alabama Lesson, therefore, is to vet candidates. Not only to vet them, but to make sure that they don't have newspapers published in Bulgaria. Or messages like this in their bio:

"Do not send pm for cs. First send 10 golds and I'll accept you but if you send pm I'll never accept"

~Rep. Weezly (PTO-AL)

This was no one person's fault. This was a failing on a scale too great for any one person, in fact it was the failure of the entire apparatus to keep our country secure from threats stemming from the powers who'd like for nothing more than to gain American citizenship.

So the only real solution is to fight it out, get back on our feet, and learn from this colossal mistake. I was charged with helping with the Congressional work, so I share in the failure, as does every American who just votes for the frontrunner in a race or along party lines (esp. when the person running for your party happens to speak Bulgarian or Serbian- that tends to be a giveaway).

Caution is the best remedy, caution and vigilance. Too much more of this and we lose a Top 5 spot to the Democratic Party eUSA, and it's all over at that point. They're at 52 already, let's not see them get any higher.
