What does it feel like to defeat a Political Take Over?
Oblige
Dear Friends and Citizens,
It seems that lately, for me at least, but I suspect for our nation as whole, eRep has become a struggle. The economy has become a massive grind. Taxes are too high. We have a two front invasion to deal with. One of our oldest and most loyal allies decided to sell us out for damage. Even the past several Plato run contests have seemed deliberately stacked against us. I don't even need to mention the political invasion of our country that has been underway for well over a year now.
It is easy to get discouraged.
It is easy to get frustrated.
It is even easy to throw your hands up in despair and walk away from it all.
That's how I felt looking at the party line up this Monday on the 23rd. We were 48 hours from the election and had a 200+ citizen gap. We knew the American Freedom Alliance was propping up its party count with multis so suspect they couldn't use them to vote (because they'd be banned), but could use them to inflate the party numbers.
I sat in the White House with the cabinet discussing potential solutions to this seemingly insurmountable problem, when Melissa Rose and I devised a strategy she had been toying with for the past several months. Typically we only have about 2,500 Americans in a political party, but we can see on our country page that we have about 6,800 living citizens (hypothetically) at this time. Talostastic was able to do the grunt work and dug up some numbers to put together a large list of citizens that weren't in a political party. We sent them a message asking them to help us secure the Top 4 parties in exchange for some tanks (generously supplied through private donations from citizens like yourself to the ATO Fund), and we got a tremendous response rate.
Then a miracle occurred.
Artela became Party President of the American Freedom Alliance.
Due to the unexpected nature of that development we weren't able to candidate anyone else for Congress except those who had already declared as part of their standard ATO procedure sitting in the AFA. We sent another PM. This one to almost every American Citizen and asked them to vote for any part except the AFA.
The result? Spectacular.
For the first time in almost eighteen months we finally have a secure Congress. The victory we achieved yesterday is difficult to understate, and combined with the previous anti-take over efforts in the American Freedom Alliance dealt real and serious harm to the political take over efforts of Ajay Bruno and his Serbian allies.
I wrote this piece to share with you the experience I had while running ATO efforts for almost 48 hours straight prior to election day. I cannot thank enough the people that assisted in that venture, in particular Talostastic, Melissa Rose and Mazzy Cat.
As always. Thank you for taking the time to read my article.
Presidentially,
- Oblige
EDIT: Originally I had credited the ATO idea to Talostastic when in fact all due credit should be given to Melissa Rose. Please send her your thanks!
P.S. For those of you still waiting on your tanks I have about 194 more personal messages to respond to - we're about 66% done, and making progress, but it might take until the end of tomorrow before all supplies are sent out.

In before RGR says something stupid
QUACK!
Congrats with successful ATO!
Oblige, to be fair, you still didn't fully secure congress because you didn't fully stack it. You mostly put unlikely to be active AFA members in.
TOs s*ck. 'Grats on the results.

Not really. We still got some good folks in.
Much better people than you.
It's just sad that a few of our seats were stolen by schoolyard bullies like you.
Your family's $ cannot buy everyone Oblige. 🙂
oh stop ajay, it is beyond silly and sad or places in between. You are the same as the rest of them all seeking power through false promises. Just go away, move into the bordello of eSerbia and service your masters, I hear those serbian fellows enjoy that scene. But hey whatever you are tiresome with your foolishness. You will never ever gain what you seek, never. Why? Because you are a sad angry confused little man, hiding behind so many masks that you have lost count of who you have pleasured. Tell me little prince how does it feel to wake up alone and scared in the corner of your bed everyday? You reap what you sow my clown. Be careful of the darkness ajay, for terror awaits you. Tick Tock
Sleep tight my little fool.
Hmm...Who is the sad angry confused little man here?
that would be ajay
Go back to placing phone calls where you think youre pfeiffer

To be entirely honest the whole takeover and ATO stuff has been boring for a year now.
WE. DON'T. CARE.
Youre in the UK?? Why should you care?
this is what our taxes are been used for... and this is what the president has been wasting time on. here you got him whining on and on about how much stuff is going on and he admits that all he has been doing is bribing people to stop the AFA raising taxes to afford bribes. wake up guys russia got wiped out they might of came back but their pretty much already dead. next is france then its mexico and eUSA look at the map and none of the money from our taxes has been used to stop these real enemies of ours. now look at it this way the AFA is back with a new party on rank 7 now and rising fast and then the president will have to bribe more people?
this will go on year after year after year the same thing and why because this new party can't let the one and only independent party compete with them. their scared to loose the rank 1 and a legacy of presidents on line to line. so they take away the rights and freedom and put false accusations and conspiracy's implying that the AFA has enough multis to win a vote of 1000 people might as well say that the AFA runs a data base of hackers with and HQ in which we work together secretly to take over eUSA *FacePalm*.
now they put all those conspiracy's out there yet they don't support their theory with proof nor anything really it's just a hard cold conspiracy they run. and yet we will soon be going through another wipe out. and then their false accusations have affected people now i see everyone talking about Serbians and all that crab etc.. your Serbian masters. it took a lot of time and waste of money from taxes for the president and these top party's to convince the people and bribe people into spreading those lies.
if the president and his supporting party's were smart they forget about the AFA crab and concentrate on taking back our lands which might not be possible anymore since we are getting overrun and poland and spain are no longer distracted by our dead allies.
You are being used, spend more than five minutes looking into the AFA and RGR and this should become obvious. good luck.

lol there goes some proof
How is ignoring the AFA's PTO attempts smart?
the political party's is what most affects the game it affects everything including the press/news, economy, other party, military, the whole nation. and yet all they get is used to affect not a group of other party but just 1 party. i have been trying to defend the eUSA with the most i can now but i am beginning to think if its even worth buying gold and combat/starter packages to join battles and help the eUSA. maybe instead i should use it to help my self just like the president does now. by helping my self like the president i mean how the president is trying to save his career instead of saving his country. caring about your self too much while running a country. i think that if the AFA takes over the one trowing everything away in despair and leaving to Canada will be the president and his following party's.
anyways i also wanted to say congratulations on archiving this i'll be here again to congratulate you next month if you succeed on stopping the AFA again with more waste of time, tax money and power.
by the way i also wanted to say i started playing 6 days ago i am a congress man chosen by the people of the current president. and I've done around up to 1 million damage and total around 3-5 million damage on battles currently still on division 1.
other than that i just want to say now
gratz and cya next month again (:

Voted, great job
Good work guys. Congratulations!
So the plan of action was to be like Boss Tweed and buy votes.....PTO twarted, work tax jacked up and that money funneled back into govt MUs. So when are we gonna fully regain our original regions??? Cause with that increase of funding to USAF, that means they can do more dmg right? 😉
never lol we are loosing we will be wiped out war will end then later we might come back and try to take out our nations but this government is still just concentrating on keeping 1 political party down.. don't you see we're getting smaller and smaller day by day it won't matter how much damage we do later since poland's profit is pretty extremely high now that they took most of our country then we got all of our allies been wiped out too we won't be able to fight them all on our own like the president oblige here said lol
Wouldn't know, I'm not Congress. I do know USAF has requested their full weekly budget for the missions, but their budget hasn't INCREASED, they're just not requesting less like they have been for a while.
Additionally, all money sent from the CT goes to the CBO.
Instead of robbing independent MUs to finance govt. MUs. why not make govt.troops work to support themselves. Then those troops could be robbed like the rest of us. Or do they lack the patriotism to work to support themselves.
In his crisis, why does the govt spend as much as 162,000 USD each week on their troops--money taken from the support of those who do work to support themselves.
Budgets are public. USAF is not getting a budget increase. If you read anything at all about the tax increase, you'd know where the money was going.
sure and this new donation proposal is also going into combat orders right? " transfer 400000 USD from the country accounts to Congressional Budget " fail and also there is no point is putting combat orders anymore since none of them have been even working recently its too late to try to do that good luck and nice job sucking up the eUSA for poland and spain (:
I read that. That is why I want to see some combat orders, not just more money sent to govt, MUs. Where are the COs?
You do realize the law hasn't even passed, right? Which means the money that was in the CT hasn't even reached the CBO, right?
Oh goody 400000 USD from the country accounts to Congressional Budget Office? 32 votes yes 1 vote no i wonder who voted no :3
it just got accepted btw.

That's great, I understand that we must beat our internal enemies. But how about you address the nation about our current situation, you know the one where our external enemies are basically crushing us at will.
That would be nice. It seems that the whole focus is always ajay. At the rate we are going we will not have a country in a weeks time. Whatever.
Great article broseph o7 v+s (not sure why I wasn't already subbed but ok lol)
