Why i dont join parties.
Novarefuge
A few of you here in the Eworld who know me will also know that i refuse to join any political parties.
Whereas i am on good terms with a lot of the main parties members(And in a few cases, leaders), excluding New Era, as i don't trust Goku, i don't agree with there ideals and if i do believe in their ideals,i feel that the leaders of the party are lying/ wont stay true to their word, to quote my previous article, "not all party's are bad, and some even look nice, but until you know exactly what a party does, and what you will be doing for it", if you don't know the leaders personally, or have heard everyones point of view, trust is something of an ignorance.
There is also the matter of advertising, either direct or indirect/stealthy, as i said earlier, i do not trust Goku, and as such, do not trust his party and so i shall be picking on them for this example.
An example of a direct advertisement is any number of the people who offer food/weapons of varying Q's in exchange for votes and subscribers, sometimes along with another task, such as writing a keyword in the comments.
Now, some of you may be saying "Oh hurr dats not advurtising, thats askign for subs", And the more intelligent of you will see that the difference is minimal, if even existent, as you are still being tempted into giving something in exchange for something else, and in the case that its a bought good, you have to walk/drive to the shop to obtain this fancy item/items, filling all the criteria for both of them (Service/good for a service/good, sometimes requiring a additional challenge/task to be performed before service/good is acquired.
And now unto the politically shaky ground of the indirect/stealthy advertisement, as this section contains some mildly insulting language towards the New Era party, some of you may want to look away.
Either way, i noticed a article called Promotion of the activity(http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/promotion-of-the-activity-new-era-members-2163981/1/20) as i was scrolling through the articles today, and as usual, i decided to check out anything that had a political polish to it, to no suprise of my own, it was indeed Indirectly advertising the New Era party, and suggesting that you join up, "There is a promotion for every member of our party today, everyone who is a member of the party and votes will get food for 1000 health and 5 Q7 weapons.
This is a token of our gratitude for your activity." This excerpt of the article may seem innocent, but notice that tiny little feeling that you should join the New Era party so you can get that tasty 1000 health, and that little bonus warfare of the 5 Q7 weapons, That is the New Era's way of Indirectly advertising that they are a good party and that its members are rewarded, in this authors opinion, the New Era party are devious bastards, just like every other party.
Addendum: I may not believe in them, but i respect the New Era party ideals, so don't think that i hate them, i only chose to pick on them as to keep my relationship with all the other parties secure.
Being an author is its own kind of politics, and i have no need for any other.
If you want me to cover a particular topic, either related to politics or not, just throw me one of those Pm's and i will get down to it, and you can expect my honest opinion as always, presented in a needlessly long article, as usual.
Bonus info time, i got a B on my latest english test, which is better than the C i had on my last paperwork, so expect my articles to increase in quality soon.

'so expect my articles to increase in quality soon.'
Hope so...
They are quite shitty when i'm tired, but sometimes i just need to rant.
Join NE.....Take Supplies......Leave.........repeat with the next party.
All good gameplay.
So far, i have got 20 tanks.
I see why they call it a "Strategy" game now.
you are respected for not liking Goku, I don't trust him either, but he deserves some kind of ... chance.
I'm happy with my less than 60 subscribers, quality is what counts.... always.
I'm with Alpha, knowing that people have subscribed out of appreciation instead of obligation is a good feeling.
Try not to jump to conclusions with people based on party or otherwise, sometimes innocent and well-meaning personal offers can be poorly articulated or intentionally received badly by some people for some reason, even if other people in their party are using obviously "devious" tactics.
1. you're an idiot
2. Angels article was refering to elections votes,not the votes for the article itself
3. " the New Era party are devious bastards"
4. "I may not believe in them, but i respect the New Era party ideals, so don't think that i hate them, i only chose to pick on them as to keep my relationship with all the other parties secure."
5. see number one
In what way am i an idiot zokamagacar?
I know his article was reffering to election votes, thats why i said "Notice the tiny little feeling you should join the new era party" and not "The tiny little feeling you should vote for the article.
The next two are excerpts from my article, and the last one is referring to your first point, so what part of your argument even suggests that i am an idiot?
mainly 3 and 4. Trough your entire article you bash NE, and than you "respect" NE? Contradiction makes you an idiot. Just be honest and admit that you DO hate NE cause I guess,it's trendy and cool to hate us.
I don't hate NE, i respect your party values, i don't trust Goku or to be honest, most of the NE players that i have met, you seem like an alright fellow, but you seem to think that the views stated in one article are my entire views about a subject.
The paper's title says it all
New Era , TRULY, respects diversity and everyone's opinion and try to focus on IDEAS. Goku is not an IDEA, btw. Everyone is left to join or to support everyone he likes.
Difference is people on the outside think Goku runs New Era. He doesn't. If you don't like his proposals in IRC you say no and put forward your own and it is debated. One thing about ALL parties is that there are strong characters in each and not just one, but it seems to be fashionable to say New Era are being used by Goku to PTO the eUK.
Goku is a strong and intelligent character and at New Era we do give people a chance. It is the same with JamesW at ESO. He was allowed a second chance despite some serious allegations and showed his worth with a very good term as CP..Alfagrem was described as a dangerous individual but has played a serious part in making UKPP stronger which is good for eUK democracy to have two parties battling it out for top spot instead of always one....not a dig at TUP I swear...
and then theres our Goku who in the last five weeks has been nothing but diplomatic. No flaming, no taking the bait, just pure diplomacy and i think he does deserve that second chance \o/
I dont trust him because i know why he wants those policies, but they are the right policies, so im stuck between denying him something wrong, and accepting what is right.
