Vote NO for ClusterStorm

Since I don't know how to read urdu, I've had a friend outline the basic points to me to which I am now replying.
Recently, Cluster Storms published a manifesto with which he seeks to improve the situation in our country and better the lot for all ePakistanis, if you can read urdu you can read his manifesto here:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/manifesto1-2073293/1/20
Ignoring the fact that the vast majority of this game is being played by non-Urdu speakers many of whom have contributed massively to ePakistan (such as MorbidAngel), he went ahead to present his agenda which I will be dissecting for the “awaam” or called the common man.
1. Cluster Storms claims that all active ePakistani players will be told to recruit two more players to the ePak cause. This in principle is a great initiative however this method has failed over the last four years principally because the infrastructure isn’t present, so I would be keen to learn more on how he plans on doing this.
2. Tax changes are promised, but no detail has been given on them, which taxes will be reduced, how much they’ll be reduced by and what the effects and repercussions will be on the market and for the average ePakistani.
3. A committee will be made to appoint all congressmen. This is unacceptable for The Legendary Opposition, as this kills the spirit of democracy in the game and gives power to a select group of self-appointed players who are going against the spirit of the game. The Legendary Opposition will stand by candidates who show the most promise and want to achieve something in ePakistan not just for themselves but for the people too.
4. A loan scheme has been promised for ePakistanis loyal to the government in power. A committee will have complete power to approve its supporters and reject all others. Again a good initiative but why single out select “trusted” players. What do you get if your new to the game and don’t have the trust of the elites?
5. A weekly summit of Congress has been promised. Since ClusterStorm proposes on appointing congressmen, than what difference does it make if you have a meeting once a week or once a month. Those congressmen didn’t desire to be there, nor did they announce what they intend to do as congress members, projects, objectives.
In conclusion most of these policies are not new and we need to move away from the feudal system that is currently deployed in ePakistan and move towards a merit based system. Which is why when The Legendary Opposition was looking for a candidate, Ishamael Naeblis offered to run as CP and produced a plan, his selection was based on merit and not by appointment.
Vote for freedom and sovereignty in ePakistan! Vote for Ishamael Naeblis!

Good ! I am expecting that !
Ok ! Bring Democracy, what people want !
I might be forced to turn my hand in this matter.
I must say I like the name of your party.
TheJackal you are deciding everything and you call it better than the decision made by a group (CoE)?
I have read ishameal's manifesto too. I can write a bigger article than this to point out the same things you mentioned here.
Honestly i found some new Ideas in Cluster Storms manifesto than Ishameal.There is not a single Foreign Affair plan mentioned, just a general description whats going on in the world.Cluster Storms FA isn't great either but atleast there are some action-points.
@Kamraan I look forward to your your article as does Ishmael, because only through constructive criticism can we improve. I'm online now, we can have a long chat on IRC should you want.
Kamraan, if you think that sharing a forum with China is good foreign policy and conducive to ePakistan, then heaven help you. I dont know about you but I'd rather be proactive and deal with FA situations as they arise instead of making unattainable promises.
Ishamael, i didn't say that it is great, but atleast there is some action-point. And you have none of it. What you have is just a general speech about current affairs of the world. As a rule of thumb, you criticize the opponent policy when you have your own defined else anyone can play saint and criticize.
I think you need to know more about "Outlining foreign policy for election campaign". It isn't making promise as you portray it to be.
My interest is in improving the country internally before trying to act big on the international scene. We can do precious little in FA with little damage to contribute to our allies which we currently have with our small population.
That being said, I believe in being proactive, and yes, if you have something like sharing a forum with China in your "goals as CP", I would consider it a promise to be kept by an aspiring president. I just dont feel it is attainable or wise.
ye, kinda agree with Ish here. Domestic Affairs are more important than Foreign Affairs. That said, me/bozli can double team on FA if needed.
all i wonder is why is the only party that supports ishamel happens to be the one filled with PTOers!!
Wait, so I'm a PTO-er now? That's new. I think everyone including the people who don't agree with my opinion can account for the fact that:
1) I am a RL Pakistani.
2) I am not a PTO-er.
I've personally stayed away from mudslinging and character assassinating in this, is it too much to expect the same in return?
Ishamael Naeblis this is not way, you are not a real pakistani first u proof your self ...
you joined Pakistan 2 yeah 3 days ago and you will see the dream of President of Pakistan this is your dream...
first you work with seniors citizens and 1st u proof ur self then talk abt presidency..
faris, he is a RL Paki : P RL means real life
ishamael... did i call you a PTOer??? i said the only party supporting you is 'them' so knowingly or unknowingly you are playing their game buddy!!!
ok bozli
for the first time we see someone actually running a negative campaign. Living up to your name misspelled Jakal? So instead of bringing forward you own agenda you plan to win through mud slinging. A dirty tactic indeed.
You of all cannot talk about democracy. All you are doing right now is bringing a gang of your friends into ePakistan. All of them under your pure kingship.
i second that dodial....don't you ishameal's article was enough to make people understand ur point of view? u didn't have to do this honestly..if u ishameal's plans are better than cluster's than people u should have let people decide that from the two campaign articles..What is this?
u can buy votes on an article but u can't buy hearts and minds of the countrymen like this...
ur right Zathfrst and Dodial
The blame lies on both sides. To say that one side has been angelic while painting the other as demonic would be foolish and incorrect. For instance, why did a certain elder deny my citizenship despite me being a RL Pakistani? I had to spend the whole day pleading for justice, until a friend approved it for me.
You guys complain about negativity, look where it started, and maybe, just maybe, you'll realise that some of the fault lies with those in power.
i am going to vote cluster storm for his nice ideas, and after that i will be gone for long service leave. : P
Ishamael, I am the current chairman of the council of elders. Your friend, who accepted your CS told you about a comment which was against your CS. He didn't tell you about the positive things. He didn't tell you about my final comments upon CS applications as a Chairman of the CoE.
Its really amazing that a person like you is in blame game. Positive criticism always create a healthy atmosphere and negative criticism always ruin a healthy atmosphere. Please avoid negative criticism.
There is no such thing as a King in eRepublik. I am a citizen of ePakistan and I am at the receiving end of injustice.
@Dodial, you talk about democracy? You can't even safeguard my basic right to be in #epakistan.
I have invited friends to this game, but I didn't invite Ishmael or Innocent Warrior, to this date I don't know who they are nor have I made an effort to find out who they are.
You call this mudslinging? This is the voice of someone who wants to know what the action plan is.
I've avoided blaming people specifically but I am going to blame you today right now that you being the owner of #epakistan being responsible for #epakistan are unable to take action against one of your own who breaks rules as and when he pleases.
So clearly there is a different set of laws for the boys at the top who joined this game way back in the days than the boys who join today.
This opposition is the start, I will keep recruiting new players to this game, I will keep raising...
my voice against "feudalistic" type behaviour and I will keep fighting for basic rights for every ePakistani.
And FYI dodial, if we didn't raise questions to the proposed CP, he would have never written an article to justify his claim to be elected. Even now, people are not analysing his promises and are only praising or saying vague things like "yes he brought new ideas, yes its a good idea".
So please do not accuse me of being a king, I am not in the CoE!
i dont want to intrupt you all but if we see the map we barely leberated only one province and you all fighting for power i will suggest first leberate the whole country than claim your share. what i mean is think and act like we in state of war. Thats mine opinion
I lul'd
Great comment Moeed Ahmad..
To sum it up:
The legendary opposition apparently having 3 people, led by TheJackal, can be explained as follows:
Innocent Warrior: Pissed by ePakistani public response to his "jerk" attitude.
Ishameal: A nice guy in my opinion who is angry on the response by someone on his CS request, and now his anger is getting cashed by this opposition.
TheJackal : Having some personal grudges with someone's behavior on IRC. And now cashing the situation to make a pointless opposition.
Well, actually this opposition is making media all active. so i am not really correct saying "pointless". 😃
I do like the activity 😛 Lots of stuff for me to smile at :3
Why should we vote for Ishamael ? This opposition's random candidate, He never been in ePakistan from his birth. Has never worked for ePakistan.
I don't know if he has that potential or not but what I know is, If he really wishes to be President of ePakistan then he should start from zero level first, Prove himself a patriot first then go for such a big position.
[Continue..]
I will be voting for Cluster Storm, And why is that? Because he has been working for ePakistan, he started from zero and now finally he is at this level. Plus he proved himself a true patriot in last elections. Unlike Oppositions instant import.
LEVEL ZERO OR NOTHING.
Oh wait.
Well that's a bit excessive of a law for respect to be earned, but I agree in a MUCH lesser extent. He has been here for no time at all and still lives in eUS so he can fight for THEM rather than us; lack of ePaki fights a point against that argument but when epatriotism comes up I believe it an irrelevant point.
I agree that with his lack of life in ePaki he does have a lot less going for him in my eyes. Cluster being a person I will vote for.
I have just finished commenting on both presidential candidatures, and what I have noticed is that neither candidates has any plan for the only thing that actually requires effort in order to make it work, and that is military. Current Pakistani military is almost nonexistant. I had tried to implement Serbian system, but due to sekoras quitting it was dropped.
(...)
(...) However, new rules opened many options for for us, considering our population is generally weak (I'm comparing it to my MU which has ~55 members averaging over 10k strength, and 4 GoWs), and it would be sad not to use the potential chance we have gotten.
But, like I said, it requires a lot of time, knowledge and will to get this job done, I am wondering if either of candidates has that.
Now that is something I give a damn about! ;3
