[Loathing] Looking For a New Ride...

Day 3,337, 10:24 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by WayneKerr





First of all eUK, I would like to say a few thank you's. Without the support and help of UKRP and ESO and in particular, Appleby and VoodooMike, I would never have made it to second place in the elections, just one succesful impeach away from having da buttons again. Lets hope AMD doesn' get hit by a bus or something... Last election, without their backing I managed a measly 7 votes and ended up dead last. Most people didn't even know I had ran until after the event. This time round, with certain members of the eUK trumpeting my name from the roof tops, I managed a seven-fold increase in my support. Had I managed this number in November, I would have won!


A couple of people were loudly claiming that I would be soundly defeated and both me and my party, The UKPP, would and should be ostracised by the rest of the eUK due to us backing what they claimed to be a traitor and a thief. My Party President and all round great guy Mr Knee did not bow down to, nor did he entertain their hollow threats. He's been with UKPP for a long time and this isn't the first time the 'establishment' of the eUK have threatened us! It's water off a ducks back.


Secondly, I'd like to thank The UKPP. You saw a problem and you had the courage to step up and tackle it. Instead of backing down, you doubled down. If The UKPP produce anything from their players, it is bravery. Bravery to make their own path and not follow the herd, even at the expense of not being included by the others, bravery to treat this game as a game and the bravery to laugh not only at ourselves, but at others as well.



I'm proud to have been eBorn into The UKPP Family!





While they can rightly claim a 86-50 is indeed a resounding loss, to me it does not feel that way. To me it feels like a cry for help. Almost half the nation didn't buy in to AMD's vision. He couldn't even be bothered to release an article informing you, his voting public, of his Cabinet. A third of you wanted me! Even after the failed hatchet job carried out by certain parties. If that is not a eCountry begging for change and a revolution, I don't know what is.


For the past 3 months I've been lurking, I've seen very little information coming from players, supposedly in the know. This is not a slur on Chaz, I've seen first hand the amount of time and money he has spent trying to provide you all with entertainment over this typicaly dull time of year in eRepublik. The amount of votes and comments his farewell CP article recevied is utterly disgusting. If this is the state of apathy the eUK is currently in, then Chaz is even more foolish then I first thought, by reaching deeper in to his pocket then many of our so called 'leaders' ever would for you ungrateful sods.


One man can't be expected to do the job of the MoD, the MoHA (if thats even still a thing) and the MoFA, as well as write articles and perform his CP duties. Even though Chaz did a stellar job as he always does when CP, his team badly let him down. After the glory of eArgentina and the onslaught of Pathetica they disappeared.


We had a MoD who just vanished while we had 3 countries attempting to wipe us and a MoFA who seems more interested in larking about with his mates, the Governing Elites of eUSA. Coming at a time when forig information would have been nice with regards to the deal laid down on the table by the alliance Orion. An alliance which contains eFrance and eCanada, two countries I regard as mortal enemies of the eUK. Most of the times the eUK has been wiped in our history, these two countries have always played a part. Those old enough will remember. Yet this month will no doubt be the month that our MoFA, who is now the CP, will take us into this Alliance! An alliance that even he does not really want to join. He'd much rather we accepted the other offer we had on the table this month...




Orions were known for their reliability weren't they?




But it's not just Government where the eUK is lacking. It's domestically too. Where is the passion, the eDrama, the mudslinging, the intrigue? The lack of anything has got so bad that even Dapper has had enough, given up on you and upped sticks to eCanada! The eUK no longer has a story line anymore. That saddens me, what reason do I and you, now have to log in, to press the fight button repeatedly? No, the game as a game, is boring as hell. I need the drama, the arguments, the debates, the discussions. Thats what keeps me and you, logging in!




No, I wouldn't of...




I know we don't have new players to recruiment anymore, so parties don't really need to compete. That elections are pretty much a done deal and that there really is not much to argue about. But this does not mean we can't create it. It'll be much better if you guys go about creating the excitement and drama, cuz y'all get pissy when I do it.
