The Fat Bastard: Week of Day 1602

Day 1,602, 12:38 • Published in USA Republic of China (Taiwan) • by Lord Dark Helmet


It's Party President election time, and with several declared candidates should be an interesting race. Currently, 4 candidates have officially declared their intentions to run on the BoL Forums: Emperor Rick, Slade Cash, J. W. Bullwinkle, and Chance Harrison. If you intend on running you must declare your candidacy on the Forums to be eligible for the Party Primary.

The Fat Bastard is sponsoring a debate between the candidates tonight. Bastards are encouraged to submit questions to me either in-game or on the forums. A full transcript of the debate will be posted on the forum after the debate.

And now to the weekly update:

There are three Bastards currently in office:

Deriachai, representing the state of Missouri. His complete record can be found here.

Chance Harrison, representing the state of North Dakota. His complete record can be found here. Chance has also been working on potentially lowering income taxes.

Slade Cash, representing Baja California. His complete record can be found here.

All three have been active in ensuring that the OMS stays viable for new militias and to continue to make the eUSA stronger, and have been contributing the the ongoing discussions regarding the recent proposed Asturias Accord.

The new borders are here! All SoL members should visit this thread to request a border or to grab the border images to complete themselves if you have not already done so.

Additionally, with the future of OMS in doubt, the SoL recently held a vote on whether or not to join the USAF. It is imperative that SoL members make their voice heard on this issue as it impacts the future of the entire unit moving forward. Also, a discussion has been opened on changing the production, including a donation of raw materials program.

The SoL is also looking for help in writing a recruitment letter. Those willing to help should respond in that thread.
