Vote Ronald Gipper Reagan for President! - Plus a Call to Fix the Political Module!

Day 2,691, 21:44 Published in USA USA by Ronald Gipper Reagan
Vote Ronald Gipper Reagan for President on Sunday, April 5th! Help me resurrect just like Jesus! o/

You have all heard my spiel many times before in the past, so there is no need to rehash it. I am going to make this argument as clear as possible. eRepublik in general is on the decline, and the eUSA is certainly part of that. There are barely over 700 active voters today in this country. To put this in perspective when I got 41% of the vote against Fluffer's puppet in January, 2013 I received nearly 1000 votes for Country President. There have have been times where there have been over 4,500 voters in the US. I still remember when I ran for America's Advancement(AAP) Party President in 2010 and I messaged nearly 2,000 party members! Those days seem like a distant memory.

We have come a long way, and in the wrong direction. Frankly, most people who play now are pretty disinterested. So I will ask you this....Why not make me President? Either you will love what I will do, or you will love to hate it. At least it will be interesting! So stop being such a tool by voting for who you are expected to vote for. Vote RGR!

I also wanted to make a commentary on the political module, which we all know is broken. This is the longest time I have ever gone in the eUS without being able to rebuild a major party. The reason is pretty simple. The mechanics are now heavily rigged against changing the status quo. The Dictatorship feature being implemented is just the latest one, but the changing of Congress Elections beginning in September, 2012 was the biggest by far. It was obviously extremely annoying having to worry about being sniped all over, but at least we knew it was possible to win Congress seats almost every month. When you have a top five party the new system makes it very convenient, but it also removes all the strategy elements from it. This was always a mixed bag for me. Sometimes we would do better than expected, and sometimes we would do worse because the other parties would always gang up on our candidates, but at least it was something. Of course if you ever lose a top five spot then you are in big trouble. You can thank certain people's "children", importing people from eUS government puppet states, and general deceit of the populace at large for that.

Nowadays the power is concentrated in the oligarchy of a handful of Party Presidents. I think it is pretty nice when hundreds of people get the opportunity to run, even if most will not actually get elected. If you work at it your chances of winning are reasonably good. When I was Party President of the #1 AFA after the new elections were implemented, there could be something like 150 people wanting to run for Congress and something like fewer than 20 could get in. That was always difficult because I do not like disappointing people who I feel deserve to be rewarded by being able to serve in Congress. There are still some to this day who I regret have never gotten the seat which they deserve, or did not get it more times.

Anyway, let's hope there is some sort of political "game-changer", and I hope those of you reading this will help make that possible. Of course I would love to see domestic PTO's become as difficult as foreign PTO's, but Plato does not seem interested in that. It is a shame, because I would have helped build the longest lasting top party in the country a long time ago if that were the case. eRepublik had a lot of potential years ago, and I feel it has been squandered. Believe me, two clicking and running troll campaigns for the Presidency is not what I had in mind. I want to show that the good guys can win in the end. So I ask you, help me make it a reality! 🙂

Happy Easter and Passover to all!
