The Glove Fits

Day 1,741, 19:34 • Published in USA USA • by GloveisLove


My Fellow Americans & Friends Abroad,

First I would like to thank everyone I've met throughout the years. My experience has been long and vast. And a special shout-out to my best friend here, Chickensguys. He was instrumental to my sanity and success, despite what you think of him or his past actions. True bromance.

Anyways, I have a laundry-list of things to say before I take off the glove. Many of you ask: Why did you decide to run again? First of all, I needed closure. I didn't want to leave knowing my last act was being wiped by Indonesia. So I needed to run again to prove to myself and to the world. I wanted revenge. I got it.

With your help I wrote history. I regret nothing.

I wanted to freaking have a real opponents instead of only caring about bonuses.

I wanted to play the game.

Now that I've been impeached I can tell you everything without any remorse. My thoughts on alliances, my history, and a reflection on the nature of our eNation & game.

Thoughts on Alliances

I don't like ONE and I dislike Eden. In fact, I've always hated Eden. And with a nation, such as these eUnited States of America, which is host to a large number of citizens of both, you have to be careful in the friends you make and the ones you don't if you want to further your political career. I guess you could call this manipulative, and quite frankly, it might be. I hate that. I hate knowing that most eAmericans aren't even Americans. Call me racist if you want, but I don't think it is, simply because 90% of these forigs have their own RL country's interest above ours. We are truly a melting-pot, whether you like it or not.

I've always secretly wanted to wipe Romania. Not because I dislike their people or anything but because to me, Romania represents everything wrong about how we play the game, how people succumb to Plato's retarded rules and gold-digging ways. Plus its the eRepublik wig base, so naturally is it a perfect choice to dislike.

My favorite Eden nation is Croatia. The friendship between Croats and USA is long and filled with great stories. Something you can't buy or invent overnight. The same could be said of other nations like China, who I always felt was more progressive in thinking.

My favorite alliance that eUSA has ever been a part of was Terra. The nations that were/are in it will always have a special place in my heart. It was a coalition of nations that was interested in their own members first, but unfortunately the alliance relied too much on Eden, weakening Terra's sovereignty and ultimately making the alliance it's lapdog. So I recommended that we leave it, not because the alliance itself was bad, but because it relied too much on Eden, and the former government ultimately left.

So now about CTRL. I hated the idea of allying Spain. I didn't hate Poland but couldn't trust them and felt that they were still too close to ONE. So this made everything difficult for me to let happen. But I decided to ally Spain after seeing that they are actually kind of cool. And especially after seeing Portugal's congress refuse the Treaty of Porto. That for me showed that Portugal was more concerned about their pride than their allies (like Argentina that was being wiped during this time). They have every right to want to be sovereign but from at least my point of view, they were being selfish. I don't really care about your opinion, I'm just explaining to you how I thought.

And about CTRL, the way I'd love the idea of it was if we could had gotten all of Terra to join it. That's why I was hoping for peace on the Iberian peninsula and for France to make a deal with Poland to free their regions. I hoped someday we would have a united Western Europe, a United America under Canadian, American, Argentina, Brazilian, Chilean, and Colombian rule.

I've always liked Chile to be honest with you. And I hoped someday Argentina and Chile would be friends again like in the past, but because of their dramatic shifts in foreign policy, I was obliged to maintain the status quo and keep them as enemy. What a shame.

My History

Most of you are aware that this is not my first account. This is in fact my third.

First was Glove: http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/2473180
Second was Gagon the Great Cajeta Lover: http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/5112942
And third is GloveisLove

The name glove was actually a mistake. I was trying to name myself g-love because at the time I was listening to 50 cent and was feeling real hood. But I was too lazy to change it and eventually I invented the "glove is love" meme. This meme would prove itself to be invaluable as that meme alone surely won me the presidency the first time around against Harrison Richardson. It felt so nice beating him, mostly because he was USWP and he ran a huge mud-slinging campaign. I got the same feeling when I defeated Henry Arundel (Pfeiffer). Beating two USWP top dogs felt great.

Gagon the Great Cajeta Lover was a name I made up out of boredom. It is actually subtly sexual. "Gag on the great cajeta." Cajeta is an Argentine word for the female cooch.

😉

When I returned to the game 3 months ago, I had only one goal, win CP for closure, screw over the oligarchy, and give something fun for the populace to do. I made my name GloveisLove because it made the meme permanently embedded into my profile. I think it may have even been Ajay that gave me the idea. On a side note, just let that guy be president already. It will help with everyone's sanity/insanity. When I returned, S.E.E.S was long dead, I never established myself in any party, I didn't have the time nor will to do so, and I was facing the oligarchy. My bro chickensguys offered his assistance, for which I am eternally indebted to him for, without him I would not had made it this far.

Many of you will remember that I was permanently banned. I've revealed why in the past, but for those who never heard that history, I shall share with you. I was a notorious gold-farmer. I think over the course of years, I probably made somewhere between 30-80 accounts. I absolutely refused to buy gold, especially for a game that is constantly changing, and usually for the worse, and plus I'm cheap. I probably farmed around 400 gold. The moderators eventually caught me and at first penalized me by reducing my strength by more than half and lowering my experience points in addition to giving me negative gold. I was always afraid of getting caught, so I didn't use them for voting, I did however, use them one month to block for S.E.E.S when the party failed to set-up blockers in some states. I was up at 1:30 am logging onto my multis to block for the party. I refused to tell them how I got the blockers until after a few days passed by. I loved that party and was willing to be banned for it and lose everything if need be, because they played the game like it was a game, and that my friends, was awesome.

I was finally banned for attempting to PTO Pakistan. At the time, the nation was ruled mostly by RL dio-hating Pakis and Serbians. I wanted to establish a Dioist Kingdom affiliated with Dioist America/Brazil. Alas, myself along with those who helped me capture 4/5 top partys in Pakistan were permanently banned the day after party presidential elections. So I made Gagon the Great Cajeta Lover, proud eIndonesian citizen.

But that got boring fast.

The eUnited States of America

I'll keep this short and simple. We live in an ineptocracy. These "leaders" care about their own self-glory and measuring each other's epeen. You have the same handful of "leaders" month after month. They all fellate each other, its disgusting. I'm not OKAY with this, and never have been, I guess you could say I'm a bit of a rebel. I like to trash and de-legitimize basically anyone who works with the machine. A lot of time my criticisms have a lot of truth in it, and a lot of time it is pure trolling.



The sad state of affairs is that most of you have fallen victim to what I call is the sheep-powered machine. You care too much about the "old leaders" think, this in turn empowers their influence, leading you to having to do all their busy work for months upon months in hopes that someday you can take their spot. It is a lot like real-life in this sense. I hate that, I feel you should treat this as a game and basically screw all and do great things, thinking little of what those who disagree with you think. But I also believe that you should do whats best for everyone, and sometimes this puts one in a very difficult position.

What upsets me most about this country is the petty bickering. eUS mil and eUSAF, it doesnt matter, we're all on Team America. Remember that.

A Reflection

This term can be summed up as follows. A crazy election-day. A war with Canada, to peace, and to MPP literally over-night. The introduction of Direct Democracy. Signing most of our MPPS back. Simultaneously wiping Indonesia while maintaining all of our colonies in Spain, France, and Mexico. The wiping of Mexico. Plato's dumb alliance game. And a lot of butt-hurt people. The most interesting thing is that those screaming loudest are well aware that the MPPs can be changed and corrected, but they found it convinient to use this as an excuse to tear down probably their last remaining opponent, me.

The game has downgraded over the course of these years. Conquering regions now doesn't have the same value it had 3 years ago. They can be conquered and RWed literally within a day.

I fear for the future of America, I fear for a nation that is at risk of losing its internal sovereignty, I fear for the eternal bi-polar alliance structure we may succumb to once more, but most of all, I fear for how you all will be forced to play this game.

To the sands...
