The Apology
Jude Connors
Greetings and Salutations, My American Friends:
In my last article, I called for the removal of the December Revolutionists from the "Permanent Congressional Blacklist". After a fun discussion, the vote has begun and currently the move to end the oppression of the freedom fighters is passing massively. I would like to take this time to congratulate all of the other Decemberists on our hard fought victory. I would also like to thank those who supported this cause and moved past old butthurt and pettiness to do what was right. Thank you.
During the Congressional Discussion (and my very own special thread - as I am banned from talking in even Public Congressional Procedures due to my blacklisted status), I read that other Decemberists were stricken from the evil, evil list by giving a public apology. To be removed, you have to confess your transgressions in public in order to be absolved of your sins... just like in church. A few Congresspersons stated that I should do that, so I decided to do such right now.
This is my apology to them.
Yes, I am sorry.
I am sorry for the butthurt you have suffered for years.
I am sorry for the pettiness you have shown.
I am sorry you cannot see the bigger picture.
I am sorry you cannot see that we need all those that want to help to be able to help.
I am sorry you live in the past.
I am sorry.
The time to move on came and went a long time ago. I'm honestly surprised this wasn't done while I was AFK from the game. I mean, how in the holy name of the great Plato was Hoss1965 still on that list?
And the audacity to ask people to apologize just flabbergasts me. Holy crap, guys... are you for real?
But in the end, Congress sees the forward-thinking, sans a few people; and progress is being made FINALLY. Now, only three people remain on the Congressional Blacklist and each deserve to be.
Now let's come together and move forward... TOGETHER.
AFTERWOR
😨I know I am gonna anger some people but I truly hope we can all move on together after this, even after this grandstanding article. It's nothing personal and I'm just... well... I'm Jude!
Love you all!

Great article! Commence butthurt in 3...2...1...
I start the discussion and get no mention? I'm re-butthurt Jude!
I didn't want to call out anyone on either side of the issue personally.
It's called diplomacy 😛
You are cooler than the Pope, when he stands in that little window.
(+) communist style dividing lines
(+) outdated sorry meme
(+) random paint gif in the middle
(-) crying
(-) shitposting the same thing as last time
(-) my ex's favourite song at the headline
(-) more crying
With less crying and more outdated memes, I would give it a 7.5/10, but at the current status it's only a solid 5, maybe a 6 because of the gay wink gif at the end. Adding a Hungarian flag, shitty grammar and some more "..." would make it much more better, but it's still not perfect, but I see you are working on it!
5 cc donate full of pity done, keep up the good work!
It was meant to be mild. but i get what you're saying.
Don't listen to him. He's just a babyskoolin young wannabe "spye"... trolling for prominent American reactions. There's nothing to REALLY get! Investigate this guy!
+1 vote
lowkey just upvoted when I saw the video you chose.
100cc 😃
I'm rolling my eyes pretty hard.
You helped break a law. You knew it was the law. You knew that despite whatever the CP said, it was still the law set forth by Congress. In doing so, you demonstrated a disregard for Congress, and that's why those of us who asked for an apology did so. If you can't understand why that's a reasonable concern to have, then oh well, move on, you got your way, happy day.
All of which Gnilraps himself did and yet wasn't placed on the Blacklist. Asking for an apology simply so you can tell the person apologizing that it wasn't a sincere apology and therefore you will not accept it is f**king childish.
No one presented evidence of Gnils involvement or I would have gladly placed him on that same list.
SOMEBODY had to have been... uh... ENABLING Pfeiffer!
dmj: I still love you and hope we can be fantastic lovers.
\o/
Everybody iz gai
Dude I love you but do you really expect this to help your cause?
No. Cause was already won.
Well, You are not cooler than the Pope!
I agree. Pope Jude the First of the Highest Holy Church of Judeist Dioism was one awesome dude.

The rule of law, the respect for the institutions we spent years building, the will of the people and respect for the average ordinary player who has no idea what this is all about but is nevertheless impacted by this is all completely disregarded so certain people can strut around and pretend that they are powerful and meaningful even though we are an occupied nation in disarray. Go ahead, be king, emperor, the big kahuna..... how about doing some meaningful fighting, buy some EBs and seriously kick some azz. Be an actual hero in a war game. Do something other that pontificate about how big your (@$%&) looks to you when you look down at it with your glasses on and how good it feels when your minions clap their hands for you instead of thinking about what our functioning plan is to recapture those other 49 state or are we OK changing our name to Stat or eS?
By the way, if you are going to admit to, or allocute to your misdeeds, why don't you specify what you did rather than saying "I'm sorry"? This would allow players who are reading this to actually know what and why you did what you did, and get to know you.
JUDE CONNERS DID!!!
"Do something other that pontificate about how big your (@$%&) looks to you when you look down at it with your glasses on" i know what that feels like but i dont wear glasses.
Perhaps you should re-read the article.
As for doing something... yeah... you must not have been around in the past few weeks.
Also, Became Chief of Staff and got de-listed from stupid blacklist all in one day. It was a good day.
Jude is a hero.
I'm just Jude. Hero or villain, I am always Jude.
It is interesting the people who fight for usa. will fight for usa!
I am glade i am getting un blacklisted.
but I am sad that it happened in the first place. if usa hurts the citizens that are willing to fight for Their usa. then America will end up with no citizens willing to fight for their usa.
and low and behold America gets wiped a few years after attacking their citizens!
a government needs to be more afraid of their citizens than the citizens are of their government if the country is ever going to succeed long term!
as soon as the citizens are more afraid of their government than the government is of them. the country is going to fail spectacularly!
You ended up on the blacklist for fighting against the interests of the eUS. Maybe next time you'll think it through. But I doubt it.
You mean he fought against the interest of the ruling class in power at the time. Your pal Pfeiffer fought against the interest of America and after simply saying, 'Oops, my mistake I forgot to turn off my bot, you know the bot that needs to be turned on each and every time I use it.'
Why on God's green earth did you yet again make this about Pfeiffer? Time for a new boogie man, Frankie. He's gone. Put your hard on for him away.
It has nothing to do with Pfeiffer -other than he is a prime example- it has to do with the fact that someone who turned on his country made some lame excuse for fighting against his country was not Blacklisted and in fact became President twice more. Citizens like yourself enabled and supported someone who should have been an Enemy of the State and IMO you are just as guilty as he was of trying to divide America.
The difference here is that we literally wrote a law against what this group did.
So you used on out of the game forum to make a law which outlawed an in the game mechanic. A mechanic which the majority of in-game voters had supported because they did not wish to live under a dictatorship law also passed on that same forum. All it did was divide America.
You're one to talk about dividing America, man.
Well. It would seem to me that a sizable number of citizens have come together to stand against you and the rest of those who supported the policies that America wiped.
You MAY be RIGHT...
"as soon as the citizens are..." ...a little over the top, but... yeah, you never should have been!
"I'm just... well... I'm Jude"
^ that
I probably wouldn't have written this article myself personally...and yes I understand why Jude was blacklisted and certainly don't argue that. But unlike some other people who left the USA entirely to fight against us Jude has not. It was a violation of the law and thus he was punished. That said I don't put the action in the same boat as someone who changes citizenship and fights to keep us down. Laws are laws but the world is not black and white. I'm glad this is passing.
You hit the nail on the head. Glad to see someone understands. 😛
voted because of the David Tennant picture
Everyone's favorite Doctor.
He made me like the new series.
He was top. But mine is actually Matt Smith because Bow ties are cool ;p
Mine goes...
David Tennant
Tom Baker
Matt Smith
Jon Pertwee
Peter Davison
I'm impressed that someone knows that there were Doctors BEFORE Christopher Eccleston! Pertwee rules! Then I can agree with your list. Are you counting the radio plays into this too?
well... a show doesn't become the LONGEST EVER RUNNING TV SERIES by starting in 2011 😛
I haven't done the radio plays. Should I check them out?
The Big Finish Plays are a pain to get in the states. Sometimes on eBay you can get a batch semi-cheaply. Some are good, some are 'meh'. Usually the BFPs are good as they are canon. The indy non-BFPs fall into 'meh.'
During the Wilderness Years the BF audio plays were the only way Dr. Who carried on (not counting books and magazines). Some plays fit into the established story lines, some are waaaay out there.
I like them, although they drive my wife nuts because "it's like the cable company screwed up again, audio, but just a blue screen."
I'd start with your favorite doctor. I also like The Two Masters... They meet, they fight, they make sarcastic jokes about killing... eventually the Doctor shows up. There are also 'lost' stories that fit in between episodes. Also continuing companion stories, UNIT, Torchwood and the like. I have a couple of filing boxes of the BFPs on CD.
Oh, and Big Finish also has started doing continuing Stargate: SG-1s (if you're a fan of that series).
They are a good thing to play while waiting for a new season to start. I tend to leave them play in the background while at work. Of course, when I'm really in a mood, I'm also the person that puts sections of the fake bonus newscast from the 2004 Dawn of The Dead Reboot on the TV at our visitor's center/museum and watch the visitors freak as I walk through with a torn, theatre bloodied shirt and spatula or something else innocuous. Yes, my co-director has told me to stop doing that, even though she still helps. It gets fun when you especially get to the part with Bruce Lightener as the U.S. President announcing the collapse.
Anyway, take my advice with a grain of salt. The voices tell me I'm weird.
I'll see if I can find them on Kodi or Terrerium. If not, I'm not putting in much effort 😛
