Two Wrongs - Make One Wrong

Day 1,100, 03:57 • Published in USA USA

• by Samuel Seabury

Well, if you weren't outraged enough by the callous, cruel and unlawful manipulation of game mechanics to rig elections in this game, you now have this whopper:

http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-tl-dr-wake-up-america--1581926/1/20

Really ? Can it really get any worse than this ? SUSPENDING democratic elections in the eUSA to MANIPULATE congressional elections in eRussia ?

Who says this is the right way to play this game ? Who thinks this was a good idea ?

It is time for a general strike. Tomorrow, I call on all loyal eAmericans to stay home from the polls. Tomorrow, you should observe the Eight Imperatives of Inactivity and make a stand. Make your voices heard not just with words, but with deeds trhat explain, with the clarity and stillness of silence, what you think of this latest offense against all that is right and reasonable.

I keep wondering how many other Congresspeople are just like Astra Kat G, but lack the intestinal fortitude to stand up for what they believe.

Mr. Seabury, usually you want to cite more than one resource to back up an actual claim to get a point across.

I'd stay home if I didn't leave so long ago. 😃

Phoenix propaganda ? Hardly. This is evil and does not help establish peaceful relations between eUSA and eRussia. In other words, it is fundamentally a bad idea as well as being an offense to democracy. From the standpoint of power realism, it is also FAIL because unless you are willing and able to occupy eRussia in the long term, it just perpetuates the hate ande hostility. But there is no way to teach these childish game mechanists a thing - they're sure they know it all better.

Astra's Death should not be in vain, nor should it be a death at all in the long term. While they (the "elite" 'game mechanists') are correct in implying and making note of a significant oppourtunity it seems driven by short term planning...

eRepublik mechanics govern all interaction within the construct; some are in plain sight, others only within the mind's eye.
