THE DO NOT VOTE LIST

Day 1,100, 16:55 • Published in Japan Japan

• by Geno Garon

Welcome back, Ladies and Gentlemen.

Since Congressional Elections are upon us, I have taken it upon myself, as the current Speaker, to provide a list of citizens who are running for congress that I just can't seems to trust whether it be because I don't know them, or, more tellingly, because I do. Here is the list.

GODZILLA:

CLEAN! No suspicious characters here.

IMPERIAL SUN PARTY:

Cherebus
KhomKhomChi
Josh_Price
Serge Ascalion
Aeolia Schenberg
Eiji Date
Rygar-san
Raymond Toru
AmaterasuOmikami
Maebara Keichii
Muda Maeda Tadashi
Shisio Makoto
Sugawara Michizane

VONGOLA FAMILY

Tanaka Kenji

UNITED LOLIES OF JAPAN

IkariGendo
Irimi

DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF JAPAN

CLEAN! No suspicious characters here.

Now, I'm not going to say that EVERY name on this list is a PTOer. I am fully aware that there are people in eJapan I simply have not met yet. However, many of these names are not going anywhere, simply because these citizens have shown in the past that they are untrustable.

Still, I would LOVE to take at least a few of these names off the list, especially if it means I can introduce myself to a soon-to-be congressman, get to know them, and become super best friend for life. SO, if you or someone you know is on this list, and you don't think that person belongs with the rest of this riff raff, please send me a message or comment on the paper, so that we can keep this DO NOT VOTE list to as few names as possible.

Good luck to all the ~~Anglo-Saxon, English-speaking Americans~~ real eJapanese running this election. Speaker OUT.

Anon Bliss Day 1,100, 19:20

jun.himura is okay hes new to politics here but is not a ptoer and has been in japan for a while since he started i think but hes just new to it like we all once were

Sophia Forrester Day 1,100, 19:34

Karin Hosogaya is legit. She's been in ULJ for a few months and I can vouch for her.

The other two Lolies are newish and I haven't seen them around much, so I couldn't really say either way.

Nosyt Day 1,100, 20:05

chibi geass character who's name I do not recall \o/
~hyuu~

Minami Saki Day 1,100, 20:16

Why Sugawara Michizane is on the list?

Sophia Forrester Day 1,100, 20:39

Probably because the first time he was President, he stole everything in the state-run companies, and did his best to destroy all the gold in the treasury by starting meaningless battles. There are those who called it treason. I think that makes him sound like more of a villain than he deserves. He's just a petty thief and con man. The problem is -- I believed in him, right up until he betrayed the public trust.

Mr AOTR Day 1,100, 20:45

Thanks for he tip, guys! Voted! By the way, check out this proposal I've been working on lately: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/why-doesn-t-anybody-listen-to-you--1582781/1/20

Kitchen.Sink Day 1,100, 22:27

>Sugawara Michizane

Voted.

Tyrannocopters Day 1,100, 23:12

Them Anglo-Saxon Americans are the best \o/.......(At least the ones not PTO'ing Japan)

exReality Day 1,100, 23:26

You forgot to add Kinzo to the list.

Sugawara Michizane Day 1,100, 23:51

I am a legitimate eJapanese politician.. I just happen to represent an extreme political view that many do not agree with. Definitely should not warrant my presence on this list.

Geno Garon Day 1,100, 23:59

Sugawara, you will notice this is my personal list of politicians I do not trust. If you feel you do not belong here, then I would understand, but all the same, you remain.

Reiji Mitsurugi Day 1,101, 00:18

Crap, I already voted for Sugawara

Totomori Day 1,101, 00:53

Oh! I've found my name in this list. Why? I've been DPJ blocker for half an year. And first time when running seriously for the Congress - someone accused me of PTOing!

Geno Garon Day 1,101, 01:10

My apologies Totmori. I was not saying you were a PTO. You are the kind of person I simply have not gotten to know. However, I will gladly take your name off the list. Good luck in the polls today.

exReality Day 1,101, 01:31

I'll tell you why Totomori. It's because you haven't messaged your party president before running.

Also you should sign up on the forums: nipponblog.net/forum if you want to be an effective congressman.

exReality Day 1,101, 01:32

Karin and Kinzo aren't legit. I can vouch for that and I'm pretty sure anyone who checks their donation list can agree with me.

Dio Arachna Day 1,101, 03:29

voted, thanks your work!

Irimi Day 1,101, 04:36

How it comes I'm not on the list? I gained trust over the months?
Good to see this, I hoped this time will come.

Sophia Forrester Day 1,101, 07:58

Irimi has been proven untrustworthy and repeatedly violated immigration laws. She knows exactly why she's on the list.

Karin I am no longer as sure about. I remembered seeing her post in the ULJ forum, but cannot find the messages now. So I will withdraw my statement on her -- doesn't mean I suspect her, just that I cannot vouch for her.

But we really need to do something about this approach. There are already so many ordinary citizens who won't go to the forums because they think we're elitist or something -- media comments bear this out. There are people here who don't even understand why Sugawara is a rogue for goodness sake -- look at Minami-san's comment above. It doesn't help the situation when a government minister is dismissive of citizens without giving any clear reason. A few vague comments about donations are not going to get the majority's trust.

I really hope we can improve the situation and get the more casual players involved. I thank Geno for all the work he has done to make the goings-on of our government more public. I thank exReality for honestly doing his best in securing our elections. I'm looking forward to next time, when I hope there will be less need to suspect. We will all continue to fight for eJapan.

Karin Hosogaya Day 1,101, 08:01

@Sophia Forrester-thanks for defending me oneechan 😁
@Nosyt- it's Gino Weinberg of the Knight of Rounds
@eJapan-iam not a PTOer

Aogo Day 1,101, 08:22

GODZILLA:

CLEAN! No suspicious characters here.

The height of hilarity.

Sophia Forrester Day 1,101, 10:54

Tends to move in cycles. Recall, that's where Irimi and all those around her were, a few months ago.

exReality Day 1,101, 12:16

Minami Saki is Shim Myeong Eun. She's trying to troll by asking that question.

Geno Garon Day 1,101, 12:36

@Aogo:
Care to share the joke with the rest of us? No one else seems to have taken sleight to that statement.

To remind everyone, this is my personal list of congressional runners in this election that I do not trust, whether because I do not know them, or because I do, and they are untrustable. This is not the government telling you how you MUST vote; it is the current Speaker of Congress providing his personal insight on the individuals that have not proven yet, to him, to be of trustworthy character, and a request to vote elsewhere. How CERTAIN COMMENTORS take this article and others to be "the government telling their citizens exactly how to vote" is absurd, especially given that votes are private and cannot be tracked, leaving enforcing such a "vote ban" laughably impossible.

RedCard Day 1,102, 05:49

I hope ejapan in the future will be better
