the threat of PEACE?
scrabman
I've had a lot of people asking me why I don't respond to "the PEACE threat" as well as the usual anklebiters who complain about everything that I do or don't do (seriously ... complaining because I didn't take time to say thanks for my last election ... give me a break) are complaining that the government doesn't have a plan. Let me address this.
The reason I haven't responded is because I'm tired of PEACE propaganda and their trolling of the American media. Their "threat" is fairly incredible but they succeed in getting people scurrying around like ants with their attacks, their spying, their ruination of what makes the game fun because their version of fun is anarchy.
The latest threat that I've been apprised of has more to do with PEACE's actual intention on June 15th. Their target isn't an assault on the US by military strike ... it would seem that their assault is more of a political strike as they have been moving high ranking players into the US over the last several days. As you are, no doubt, aware by now the 15th is Party President election day. If PEACE could manage to capture several PP spots in the top 5 parties they could influence the next Congressional and Presidential elections by PTO attempt (political takeover). This was something that I alluded to in my article role play vs. game play a little more than a week ago.
The most likely target of the PEACE Party PTO is The Federalist Party, the number 6 ranked Political Party in the USA (and clearly one of the most partisan). This comes to me from my top advisers who have seen their numbers start to climb in the last several days due to PEACE members joining. This move makes sense on several levels because The Federalists, much like PEACE, have trolled me and my Administration since day one and are, realistically, anarchists masquerading as conservatives. While the idea of one group of ****hole hater trolls taking over another group of ****hole hater trolls is amusing to me ... we have to respond to this threat when it comes time for Party President Elections on Monday.
The simplest thing to do would be to ask all of the USA Federalists to leave the party. However, I can assure you that they won't as they will either think it's a leftist trick or they would simply want to see the nation hurt so they can point fingers and say "see ... we told you scrabman is evil". Of course, I am evil, but not in the way that they think (haven't you seen my avatar). So the issue is what do we do?
Well, the other option is to make sure that we all hold our votes until the current Party Presidents of all the US political parties have posted articles staying who the official US candidates are. Then we make sure that the American voters vote for their candidates so that those parties are not infiltrated setting up the chance for PEACE to PTO any part of our government. This might require some of the larger parties to lend support to some of the smaller parties by asking for volunteers to go and vote out the invading PEACE candidates. That is something that we are very capable of doing.
The eUSA is a sleeping giant. We have so much potential if we can just get our people to stay alert, to stay on task, and to verify information with people who are in the know before acting. This means that we should try to do the following over the next weeks.
1) Don't vote until you are sure who you are voting for.
2) Don't fight until you are sure that there isn't another threat that needs dealt with.
3) Don't feed the trolls by buying into PEACE propaganda.
4) Don't assume that just because you don't get explanations to everything that the US Government is doing that we aren't on top of things.
5) Don't let anyone convince you that the eUSA isn't the giant reserve of potential that we are.
It is very unfortunate that so many players have left the USA to become anarchists abroad (or have stayed here and continued to tear at the government from within). GLaDOS is a brilliant tactician and he is an American in RL. In fact, I admire him for how well he does what he does even though it is so very destructive and divisive. Just remember that PEACE and many other such players play the game for different reasons than many Americans do (again it's the role play vs. game play aspect). While most of us play this game to build something better than what we have in RL there are many others who just want to destroy, mock, and disrupt. Don't let them win their game at the expense of ours.
Thank you.

PERTAMAXX?
Second!
Woot. Got your article again Mr. President.
Well said, and I agree completely.
PEACE is coming.. beware
Lol. Someone doesn't like the Feds.
Good article.
AAP supported. If PEACE launches a PTO campaign on the 15th, wherever it may be, our voters will be mobilized to help thwart the attempt.
It's funny because if you had just made a small response about their threat you wouldn't have had to write this whole article about *why* you didn't respond
I didn't take time to say thanks for my last election!!!
uh oh !! 😮😮😮
What's that? Impeachment?
oh no nvm, USWP controls congress too now. Don't worry Srab
Again, no caps :'(
@ Chisholm: PEACE is capitalized 😉
Once again another Great article from a guy that knows what he's doing.
The first letter of the sentence isn't.
Voted.
Do you think maybe that PEACE is doing something trickier than the type of PTO attempt explained above? Why would they move in high level players if they just intended to vote?
Yeah, PEACE wants to attack the US. Tell me something I don't know. Nice article.
The PTO threat is easy to avoid if people don't play like freakin' zombies.
Sorry for the zombie reference USWP 😉
Well said even if it is without capitalization. I will hold my vote until the very end of the day.
Always great articles, scrab! Voted.
Thanks for the clarification boss.
Good luck!
Excellent article. I especially enjoy your views on the Federalists.
..and Evil Spock. You gotta love Evil Spock. *strokes beard*
Thanks again for a good read and warning about the bad guys! Voted
Scrabman is full of WIN!!
loft
PEACE GC dethrones tyrants and usurpers all over the world. Fear us, scrabman, we're coming to set the eUSA free! 🙂
P.S. Don't blame PEACE, blame Matzalandia's poor performance at the last elections. That epic fail PTO attempt convinced out leadership that the last of the Atlanteans are swimming belly up, so we can safely sail across the Atlantic to restore freedom and bring prosperity to your oppressed citizenry 🙂
Good article but, just because someone disagrees with you does not make them an anarchist. The comments against the Feds were uncalled for and unnecessarily divisive. I am not a supporter of their party, but respectful discourse is better than calling people "buttholes". I mean come on Scrabman are you 5 years old?
TROLL COMMENT HERE
Nice article. By the way Evil Spock rocks. Well really its just the goatee but whatever.
Voted
Pretty good reponse to these threats. Let's see how well you will do for the rest of your term, President Scrabman.
Voted.
I find there is very little difference between good and evil Spock.
Although Evil Spock unintentionally screwed over the Terrans (Earth People).
just beacause you don't like the feds doesn't mean you have to trash them.
So, because the Feds have gained a few new members, that means those 6 newbies are likely to take over as Party President? ok? So what about the 100+ new members that have been accepted in by rival parties - are they going to be PEACE activists' too?
Everyone needs to leave every party where there is a new member for Fear that their could be a PTO?
Mr President, your job is to keep this country safe amongst other things, not to encourage members to leave a party that has been outspoken against you and your antics, and to ignore the other parties that have had a larger and quicker increase in members just because they don't.
Point taken Scrab. People, make sure you know who you're voting for on the 15th.
I figured it was a hoax/lie... announcing attack plans is just silly, still... the president should respond before the sheep freak out, not after. Nevertheless, part of me was hoping it was true just so I could see how much eMerica has grown (and to let loose and actually feel justified in buying weapons). Either way, I look forward to the day when eUSA fights for real; I want to see how good this potential actually is.
Our president talks about how low Peace is for using propraganda and yet turns around and uses it on an American party!! The Feds have hardly grown at all with what? 200 memebers so far?! Up about 6 from the last election. Yeah.. all those Peace memebers infiltrating.. Scary stuff..
Thanks for the update, bro.
I think what we need is a way to track the history of what countries a player has been in recently.
WHAT THE FRAK?!
I think Spock needs ponfar more than once every 7 years....
"(seriously ... complaining because I didn't take time to say thanks for my last election ... give me a break)"
Yeah, simple acts of courtesy are sooooo yesterday, even if by the ePresident of the eUSA to his eVoters, but I didn't vote for you, so I guess I shouldn't care.
I may not KNOW how it works, so forgive me (clearly if I don't know something, I am an idiot. Something you never were in this game...you only lacked information.) If the concern is that several (3?) of the top 5 party President spots can be usurped, How does the Federalist Party work into this? Say the Fed PP is taken over by a butthole hater troll PEACE-guy, What would happen next?
Yeah, because a direct threat doesn't deserve recognition.
"anarchists masquerading as conservatives"
Kind words from our President the Communist masquerading as a USWP!!
I wish you good luck in avoiding the PTO 🙂
*ALL YOUR BASES ARE BELONG TO US*
Caps FTW !
Evil, in a good way...
I like it!
Nice job.
Lol, even if they do take over the federalist party they won't be able to influence the congress election since non top 5 parties can't field candidates for congress. Also just because a party doesn't like you doesn't make them anarchists.
The Feds are still 300 members out from being in the top 5 and worse case scenario the AAP gets knocked out and the foreigners pick up three or four seats. While this is obviously not good for the AAP its not as imminent a threat as you make it seem.
Its a shame we can't control who comes into eUSA so we can vet them out to make sure that they aren't just here to participate in a PTO.
@CaptainCAPS
We do not have any non-original regions. So what else could those PEACE players be doing? They would have to fight on our side, unless they left the country.
You're off target people - Scrabman paid a bunch of foreigners to fly to the eUSA to create a PTO scare so he can declare martial law and justify his totalitarian leadership style 🙂
Scrab takes a tip from Lois:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YOh-rpvjYg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YOh-rpvj[..]vjYg
Day 560 Day 569 (Today) Increase
AAP - (Day 560)532 - (Day 569: Today)615 - 83 Member increase
Fed - (Day 560)200 - (Day 569: Today)201 - 1 Member increase
Okay, honest question to all you out there. After looking at these numbers, who do you honestly think is in more danger of a PTO? The AAP, who is the USWP's best friend and little brother, or the Federalist Party, who continues to be a thorn in Scrabman's side?
So, you think that one PEACE member is going to topple the Federalist Party, eh Scrab? And who says it's even a PEACE member? Who is to say they haven't joined us because they're an American who genuinely wants to be a Fed? That's how I joined, so it certainly is plausible.
And your solution is for us to give up our party? We should all surrender, so PEACE actually can take over our party, getting rid of a nice bit of opposition for you? How does that help?
Mr. President, saying I don't like what you're doing in office is NOT anarchy.
You're tired of PEACE propaganda, so instead of calming the people and saying not to worry, saying you have it under control, you instead decide to let us feel like you're not leading us like you should be, and just letting us wallow in our hysteria. That seems a bit more anarchy than what we Feds do.
What I wonder is how PEACE is planning a PTO in America. Their article would try and keep people in the homeland, so we would be here to defend in case of a military strike against us. So with more votes here, wouldn't it be HARDER for them to stage a PTO?
Besides, does anyone here actually think that PEACE is going to plug enough players into our parties to take over a party presidency? I think we're pretty safe. The AAP has had an explosion in membership, but they still have a very safe group of players that have been around for a while. The AAP, or any other party for that matter, is NOT getting PTOed. Let's try not to blow things too much out of proportion.
