Congrats Woxan! (we need to talk)

Day 868, 12:46 • Published in USA USA • by fingerguns


There are 2 items that came across my desk this morning that my party needs to talk about.

Your article - http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/blu-spy-in-the-base-1288152/1/20

"A special thanks to the UIP and SEES for combating the 3 PTO candidates that were vying to run for President, we knocked them out and we did it good."

I suppose if the Federalists had endorsed you, we would get credit for helping to secure elections? There were 2 blockers. One was a Fed. Also, the DemReps ran CivilAnarchy on behalf of the 6th parties because he was a legitimate candidate. They didn't have to do that, and I think they deserve credit for being a bro. While we may not have put up an avatar saying to vote for you, we did make things easier.

This isn't a huge deal, but... meh, butthurt.

EDIT: Woxan edited the article! Thanks, man 🙂

30 votes would have won us 3 countries.
You won by almost a thousand votes.

Now, I think it's a bit unfair to say that if a candidate wins big, they didn't do enough for the overall national agenda. Two-clickers are unpredictable. However, some Fed leaders have made a few interesting connections that should probably be addressed.

First of all, SEES wouldn't have had to move people into the UIP and the UIP wouldn't have needed to run a blocker if either the AAP or USWP put up a blocker. Both parties, I guess, thought endorsing you was more important?

According to your campaign manager, Max McFarland 2, you spent over 200 gold yesterday, advertising for yourself.

We were all over IRC yesterday. While it was clear you would win the election early on and your staff began making moves to set up, I saw no effort from you or your campaign to direct voters overseas. Actually, your supporters were nervously watching numbers roll in right up to reset, frustrated by small surges in Bradley's vote total.



Look, I'm not gonna go full on butthole hater troll here. We don't want to start this term on the wrong foot and I'm really not trying to come up with a long list of indicators that lead to you being... I dunno. Something. This isn't even really about you. But, I do want to say to you and your supporters that if you are out there saying people need to put the country first and we should work more with the JCS and make more moves on the international stage and we should take the initiative to secure elections and yadda yadda yadda... please mean it and help make it happen.

These aren't just empty issues or tactics to help candidates win. I think people need to get serious about this PTO/ATO business and we need to start expecting more out of our candidates, our representatives and our parties. You have a lot of support in this country and I really hope you use some of that influence to help set an example. Please hold yourself and those around you to a higher standard. I believe this term is going to be a really good one and we all have the potential to do some awesome things. I wish you the best of luck and look forward to working with your Administration. The Federalist Party and Easy Company are at your service.


President Woxan + fingerguns

EDIT: I apologize for doing this on the first day of the term, but I hope we can just move on from here.
