The Boss Fight:
Jimmy Cincinnati
The Insidious Soliloquy of GoTJ:
Revolution and change are constant. Nothing will stay the same, forever. Why should this game be any different?
I do one thing, well; I improvise. It takes up most of my time.
Although, "Improviser," isn't a prestigious title; It's an important one.
Every year it stays the same. Everybody changes to suit the establisment.
Everyone sucks up for the power and fame. (I may have, even gotten something on my nose.) Through the worst we still march into hell.
Beyond the walls of the top 5, tramps wander about begging for a handouts. Many of them are men and women that went out on a journey, to find their purpose, but they will never return.
Many have fallen victim to the game. Millions are walking around with guns in their hands. They are directionless; with memories of combat in their heads.
A Social Introspection:
It's perfectly natural, and a well known fact, that we are afraid of change. When a stranger comes along and criticizes our beliefs, we will be offended.
Every great culture or human order of any significance, has had a polar ideology or mythos, which furnishes it's emotional and supernatural foundation for that particular order.
Now, on introspect; On what is our culture based?
A. Assuming that our culture is based on an eReligion;
This is simple. We change the parties to churches. We provide "Religious Services" We offer converts, rather than cabinet positions etc..
B. Assuming that our culture is based on Credit Cards and Gold Prices;
This would be fine with Plato. If you want to save eRepupublik, like so many have professed to doing, this is one is close to Plato's heart. We encourage missions and tournaments. We build infrastructure that is deigned to make people spend their gold.
C. Assuming that a culture is based on the hatred of it's leaders;
We polarize the nation into the disenfranchised and the elites. An attempt to change something is generally associated with one alignment or the other. Ajay and Pfeiffer are good examples of this. Periodically, it's important to introduce a new villain. But, the plot remains the same.
D. Assuming that a culture is based on community;
This is good, if you've played for a while. But, if you haven't it's intimidating. We should build a network of citizen operatives that go out and deliver important updates and short speeches to every citizen.
E. Assuming that we promote a bogus Oligarchy;
Everyone will follow the train of fools. You should fight, drink and be merry, because someone else will dictate your decisions.
The only thing you have to fear is the future. The only, rational, fear is that there may not be a future.
The Boss Fight, AKA PotUS:
I've been playing this videogame for over two years;
I've found the Secret Passages onto the Forum.
I found the warp whistle that led me to IRC.
Then, I fought my way through 7 levels of bureaucracy.
Now, I'm trying the boss Battle.
I must choose my weapons carefully;
I must have Thick Skin. (If I'm going to be a, true, public servant.)
I must have courtesy and (professionalism; on the side, maybe.)
I must be active and do something to show that I was active.
I must choose a cabinet, which would attempt some of these ideas, or associate themselves with a revolutionary; such as myself. I don't plan to accomplish everything in one day. I want to demonstrate some concepts and experience the boss fight.
Finally; Me bragging:

Good luck GOTJ!!!
Thank you WJ. I'll need it.
My biggest concern regarding your running for POTUS stems from things like your recent post in Congress about the tax level. It brings to mind the idea that you might make decisions based on "what the people want" rather than the necessary action for the benefit of the nation and that you might not have a significant understanding of mechanics and the decisions that have been made in past months and the reasoning behind them.
Do you have a response to that?
Perhaps your question is poorly phrased or perhaps not. Leaders are elected to represent "what the people want". While it is occasionally the role of government to save the masses from their own bad decisions, it is usually not. Generally our elected leaders are elected to be the people's voice and if the "masses" are tempted to ask for things that harm their long term welfare, our leaders need to spend time looking at these things and convince the populace that they are mistaken. Ultimately though the people need to decide for themselves and our elected officials should vote accordingly.
"What people want" isn't the same as "What the majority want." Regardless, a leader needs to make decisions on the information available and stand by them. But, if the reasoning is "because it's what people want," you start into populism and end up in a world of hurt as you can't please everyone.
DMJ, you as an "elitist" should refrain from using the word "populist" or populism, Better shut up and people will keep on thinking that you are smart LOL

DMJ is very smart and has been/is a great prez! My comment wasn't an attack, I just wanted to throw in my two cents...
ASecretSource, (or should I say Valiant Thor?) I'm not sure what your comment is trying to get across? I'm in a pretty good position to talk about the fact that you can't please everyone. Populism isn't the answer because there is always an opposing view, and in eRep, it's a pretty even split a lot of the time. Basing decisions on "what people want" is dangerous because you can't really know what /everyone/ wants.
And PilotPhil, thanks for the compliment 🙂
You should say nothing, better shut up, cuz YOU CAN KNOW WHAT THE MAJORITY WANTS, at least the active ones, by PUTTING UP FORMS AND GETTING FEEDBACK!!! But I know why neither you or any of the elitist-smarta$$es won't do it: IF THE PEOPLE WOULD BE OUTSPOKEN & DEMAND SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE, EVERYONE WOULD SEE THE ENORMOUS LEVEL OF FAKENESS; then you could stop bull$hitting the community about hoe you "serve" them!
Comprehend, homie??
LOL
VT, you're approaching Ajay levels of not being able to stay away.
The most active people are likely in Congress, would you agree? So if Congress decides something multiple times, in the example of taxes, how can we say that "the people" want something else?
Because the people don't decide who's on the Congress-list, homie! And PP are almost all the time cherry-picked by your fellow elitists. Use your brainz you Mor(m)on LMAO
The people asked for it and I'm a public servant. It was my job to post it.
Support!!!
BEst of luck, GoTJ! Let me know what you need to help.
Thank you J.C. You are a wise and good spirited man. If I'm elected, I hope that you will be able to serve the nation, at my side.
Me too anything you need GoTJ!
Thanks Phil. I'll keep you updated
I wish you the best of luck. Running for CP can be a brutal experience (at least it has been for me) I hope that you find the enjoyment that you seek in this pursuit.
So far; it's been a rush. Thank You.
Good luck, comrade o/
We're all here for you if you need us!
There is more to come. I'll keep you posted
Good luck mate! o/
Good luck! o7
Keep in mind, GOTJ: Being a president kinda sucks.
Well, I was planning on having my inters do the sucking, but I'll do what I have to do.
I don't hate it.
Did you hear that; Pfeifer will do the sucking. He doesn't hate it.
Problem Solved
You have my vote.
Good Luck
GoTJ4PotUS!!

Go, Tom! You are too good for them. Great article, then even more to bolster your case came with the question by the aristocrat. What was said there is why there has to be change. The five year dictatorship must be overthrown!
