Why You Should Not Vote For Me
metehan2010
Well hello my dear fellow eJapanese,
As you might have noticed, I am running for CP for the upcoming July elections. I wanted to spell out a few things before the election so you can make an informed decision.
First of all,
I am running for CP because an election with just 1 candidate is not fun at all.
However,
I recently started a new position at the company I have been working at and it is extremely busy during work hours. I can login from my phone and check messages and click buttons but that is it between 7am till about 3-4pm erepublik time. I live on pacific coast, so for whatever reason plato picked PST for erep time, I am on the same time zone.
I will be visiting my home country between July 8th and 17th. I will have access to internet everyday but activity level might be lower than usual. You really must hate the other candidate running in order to vote for me huh 🙂
I will use this opportunity to tease Fyreous, you can count on it.
The reason for why I am writing this article is not quite for the election itself though... More like, I wanted to put out a statement about where I stand with the recent SA incident that has occurred.
If any nation (or any person, as dictatorship is a common enough option in the game) makes threats that are unprovoked and unreasonable, as we experienced recently, we would very likely end up going to war because I would not care too much about their unreasonable demands just because their fragile bully feelings are hurt. If anything, I would put our own demand list for them to consider, just to annoy them more. So you might as well keep that impeach button close by if you disagree with this statement. If in your book, the recent incident we went through, had enough reasons for us to face threats, then we will just agree to disagree and as the title says.... why you should not be voting for me 🙂
I would rather get wiped than bend a knee to some ego hiding behind a virtual power. Especially not to those who are certified bullies...there are plenty of those in this game and most of them are actually openly proud of it because the game allows that 🙂
Free speech, unless it involves insults or threats that might cross someone else's rights, is a right for anyone to exercise. In this day and age it is very easy to look for something to get offended unfortunately, and certain lines are getting blurrier and blurrier.
I will not keep complaining about how boring the game itself is and then panic at the first sign of "trouble". IF we face a threat, we can ask for help to make it at least a little bit entertaining. If we get some help, great and if we do not, oh well. There are plenty of other fake wars to keep the medal hunting continue.
I understand getting wiped might hurt some new players and cause them to quit. Don't you think we would be doing them a favor though? 🙂
And how many new players did we get during last year? I can count like.... 3? 4? That are actually active(ish)?
The game has always been about building relationships for me and my fellow Janissaries. When the game got too stupid, most of us quit and the ones who wanted to keep the relationships alive, kept the communication on a different platform(You might have noticed some of them coming back alive recently). I can only suggest you do the same and we recently launched a telegram channel (for those who prefer telegram over discord) for all eJapanese to consider joining. We only got 10 players in it currently.

is the link for the channel if you are interested. I think discord has more features and flexibility but telegram's easy to use translate feature might be better option for some.
I do not have a cabinet set and positions might be filled on a first come first serve basis. This does not mean I would just hand the keys to the financial assets anyone who shows up. It just means no one will volunteer unless you ask people, nicely (or twist their arms, up to you really), to be bothered with some duties. It has been harder and harder to find those lately, including CP candidates (I miss Hugo).
Anyways, this went on longer than I originally planned. Thank you for reading. Enjoy your weekend...

an excellent article.
i particularly liked the statement that you did in :
''I would rather get wiped than bend a knee to some ego hiding behind a virtual power. Especially not to those who are certified bullies...''
thats why i stood up against dictatorships that happened in e-north korea, or i was against the dictatorship that happened in e-japan (which got liberated by you guys! dio eraclea, fyreous, seth and many more guys helped to liberate this land!)
i was also against the dictatorship that happens in e-south africa and in other e-nations of the e-world.
because i want all of those communities to be free amd democratical.
good post, keep it up.
I was not well versed about the one that happened in eJapan. I was quite inactive at the time. However, what I have gathered so far showed me that dictatorship in eJapan was a little different than some other ones around the e-world. In eJapan we have been trying to improve the communication between the different communities (slow process though) and whatever happened earlier could probably be resolved with better communication. I have not run into any eJapanese who is not willing to communicate yet. We do have some barriers that we need to keep trying to go over to get the communities closer together over time. Agreeing to disagree will have to be the option to move forward since compromise can be interpreted differently by different people 🙂
Thank you for reading and providing input. I appreciate it.
You will be always against dictatorship because seems you are another unpleasant player that mix RL dictatorship and in-game dictatorship.
I suppose that the dictatorship of the lazocrats on the SA is for a fair cause.
me or chris? 🙂
I am not in a position to comment on other e-countries and their governing situation in depth. This was more on the reaction we got for a comment that was made about dictatorships.
You are correct about that we should differentiate the rl dictatorship vs in-game dictatorship. Several eNations use the game mechanics for protection too. Sometimes they are hostile sometimes they are not in this game.

And the boza should back to be dictator again 🙂
It is a decision he has to make 🙂
I think he doesn't want.
Otherwise he might already had take the control of the country back
probably more complicated than that imo but i am in no position to speak for him of course.

Kind of ironic to write that with what recenty happened and came exactly from your side lol
I think we discussed it enough to the point that I am quite worn down with your passion 🙂
Indeed we have it is still ironic but as they say. Stare long enough into the abyss and it will become part of you.
Same with this whole dictatorship speech yet directly mocking someone for his own choice of actions and words that were not what you expected and then also going over his rights to decide stuff for him.
Pretty much all dictator-like actions by themselves from you and Suujiku.
Otherwise you could accept someone just thinking and acting differently. But you did not. Instead they had to deal with some kind of negative actions and Words from you two because it did not fit your values and ideas.
The very same way dictators act. The irony
🙂 I simply disagree.
Dictators never think they are wrong either 🙂
Keep poking it is fine 🙂

Kimse pirinç atmamış. Pirinç o zaman 🙂
len!!
Idiot that offended people here offended people elsewhere as well. Naturaly normal people do not take it easy, so they decide to fight back, but give it up only on Bozas word that moron be dealt with internaly. If you want to take the side of the sick sob in question, your choice, but you are siding on the side of evil, not the other way arround mate. I see that you got it all wrong.
I did not write this to start a debate. I have nothing against Bozimano or anyone around here really. This has nothing to do with Bozimano anyways. I appreciated him willing to communicate about this matter though...
And it is not about taking a side. I am just expressing my opinion. The comments were harmless at best and they were no reasons to create a threat. I could have said something similar too. Just because it came from a person who is seen as controversial does not necessarily affect my point of view.
That certain offended group constantly hear waaaay worse things from many others almost constantly and we do not see them throwing AS laws all over the e-world. Just because we are a smaller eNation does not mean I am going to tiptoe around their feelings.
Again, not here to start a debate, I respect your point of view too. I am just expressing mine so you know where I stand next time we run into a similar situation. If opinions will create issues between us, we have work to do 🙂
Thank you ArchAngel70.
You see what you wish to see. And that is what you were shown. And yet you choose to call us cowards for what you believe? What should we call you than for foolishly swalowing total bs you were prezented with? Attack Pakistan if you are bored with the game. Now that is smth I would enjoy!
I did not call anyone a coward. In this case diplomacy seemed to work. And in case it had not then would not be the end of the world. Sorry if it made you feel like I was calling anyone a coward in the article.
It is unlikely that eJapan will start an unprovoked attack on anyone though. Not with the current situation. Maybe in the future 🙂
Well you ask us to go to war FOR the bully, and I prefer to fight AGAINST one. So being able to destingyish between the two is esential if you wish to lead wisely.. So you might be right, its perhaps not a good idea to vote for you at this point, after thinking about it in this article 😉 Perhaps another time. 🙂
Perfect 🙂
Another Fyi
We did not get 3-4 new players last year.
That is what I literally brought into eJapan alone.
In total with friends of friends of mine who I helped come to Japan but were also newbies we got about 15.
Thank you for your efforts.
Metehan for reyizidensi xd
For all the people concerning this article (I never insulted anyone) I am not seeking or accepting any cabinet positions. I have been MoD for so many times I need to focus on personal progression and other geams/projects.
