[SUFFER] Who we are
Pato Ar
Over the past few days, the Media in eCanada has shown more than one article speaking about SUFFER in negative terms; even to the point of saying we are a PTO party.
As Spokesman of SUFFER, I feel the responsibility of clarifying a few misconceptions I think could have arisen.
First of all, we are NOT a PTO Party, and to my knowledge NON of our members has the least bit of interest in a PTO. We certainly are not a threat to eCanada; au contraire, it is in our best interest to work for and with our fellow eCanadians in the advancement of our country.
SUFFER Party
With that said, a few explanatory words are due. What is SUFFER?
SUFFER stands for “Spreading Unconditional Fun For eRepublik”
But that’s not all there is to it. First of all, SUFFER did not originate as a political party. We are simply a group of eFriends that refuse to give-in to Plato’s biddings; we believe it is downright absurd to fall into the automatic clickety-click routine of work, train, fight. I don’t know what the definition of fun is to you; but in SUFFER we fail to see any novelty in mouse-clicking.
This is a game. But sometimes those playing the game seem to follow a prewritten textbook, following the “RULES” that admins and dinosaurs of old have shoved down their throats, behaving like well-trained circus animals. No deviance, no creativity, no strategy, just an extremely predictable set of activities.
In SUFFER we are not afraid to think outside the box. We believe there must be a game beyond the game. The game is not an ends in itself; it is a means to an en
😛having fun!
So, as part of that “means” provided by the game mechanics, we created a Political Party called SUFFER, simply to channel our activities and have fun! We chose eCanada because some of our members were from here and because we know this to be an open-minded friendly community.
Media and opinions
I’m aware that a couple of SUFFER members might have come out as strongly opinionated in the Media. I assure you their intentions were for the good. I know them well, and they are not here to criticize from the outside, nor to “throw the stone and hide the hand”; they are here to brainstorm and help in any way possible, which sometimes includes pointing out when they feel someone’s screwing up, and offering to help straighten things out. If you give them a chance to cooperate/collaborate together, I’m sure we all have lots to gain.
Besides, in the words of Dr. Hugh Jardon: "People have opinions, is that the voice of the party/group? Of course not because everyone in SUFFER has their own voice and that's what makes this group great".
So, don’t base your opinions about SUFFER on the words of one or two. I have personally felt warmly welcomed by eCanadians in general. But sadly there are always a few prejudiced people that can’t seem to see beyond their misconceptions. To them I say: don’t treat us as outsiders, PTOers or a threat; don’t try to shun us out of the community or to spread more prejudice. It will only make things worse. Hatred only breeds hate. Discrimination only brings division.
Government
Despite some criticism expressed in the media regarding our current CP, I personally have nothing against him or his cabinet. In fact, I think they did a pretty good job, considering the circumstances. Sure, there were a few glitches along the way; but hey, we all make mistakes, and this is a game FFS… So don’t crucify anyone. Let’s all learn from our mistakes and pitch in to pull forward in the same direction.
We will be endorsing Quentin Carlson for January’s elections. We believe him to be the man for the task, and there’s a great team behind him.
To all the candidates for January’s elections I say: all the best of luck, and whoever wins, you can count on all of us at SUFFER (except if you need gold, lol…)
Yours as brother-in-arms,

Having been in numerous SUFFER PM's because people keep coming and going...and Klop was in one of them and he is the safest pair of hands in Canada, i can safely say this is no PTO.
People have opinions, is that the voice of the party/group? Of course not because everyone in SUFFER has their own voice and that's what makes this group great.
You said it better than me...
Permission to add this to the article 🙂
Silly Hugh, Klop is biggest PTO of all!
"...and this is a game FFS… So don’t crucify anyone."
If the butchers and whiners would take a second to consider what you've said we would all have a much more enjoyable time here. When SUFFER first came about Nyx included me in the original PM. What they were doing looked like a good thing but as I was busy with my first term as CP of Canada I apologized, wished them luck and reported the thread as spam so I would be dropped. Where some people deviated from the original intent I have no idea.
I like fun and friends, if not I wouldn't put myself out to do things here. I'd 2-click for awhile and then disappear. While some may think that is great I don't have any immediate plans to eDie.
Anyhow, good article to maybe correct most peoples perspective of what SUFFER is.
who are the butchers and whiners? If I see someone making a mistake I should keep quiet and let them fail? I did give you correct info that was in the full earshot of your cabinet members as well. Too bad you didn't make much of it. Also you can't call citizens of the country who speak up as whiners. You are lucky that there are people who still are speaking up in this boring game.
People who actually do shit are helping. People who rabble rouse and complain are not.
I'm divided about who I will vote for in the upcoming election. For one thing I am confident that Quentin is qualified for the job, he just needs some experience in the chair to prove himself. I do not question his choices as far as staff but do eagerly wait to see if those that are chosen will fulfil their roles or drop the ball.
Do you directly ever ask for help? Now, right now, will you open up the cabinet? Give me FA. Xichael said that was absurd. Are you willing to do the absurd? Or I will wait few more days and then yep you can see if I drop the ball or not.
List for me the first 3 things you would do as MoFA.
you answer my question first. Are you willing to do the absurd?
*bitchers, I love how spell check 'fixes' things for me sometimes.
Weahhh
I'm a peacock. you gotta let me fly!
I stopped reading after 'We are simply a group of eFriends that refuse to give-in to Plato’s biddings', DMV alone probably paid for Platos xmas party...
You know who says they aren't a pto party, Pto party's. Just something to keep in mind
guilty until proven guilty?
If you label an accusation at someone that is BS then yeah they are going to deny it of course. The real demented people are the ones who deny things when provided with clear and undeniable proof 😉
What do non-pto parties say? 'We are a pto party?'
Obvious propaganda is worthless.
brilliant 🙂
If people don't believe that, then according to my opinion we should forget about them. They will believe what is convenient for them to believe. Let us have fun. If they want to block us from govt positions, hey let us do it the hard way. This is a pattern on erep. Everywhere I go, there is a comfort zone people don't get out of. They think they own the place. They don't own my internet. 😒 wait are they my service provider? 😮
even so I pay my internet bills. I have volunteered, written manifesto etc. I have fallen in line. Yeah that kind of patience and consideration is going to run out soon. After that I might just hang out with open minded people 😃
