Always Screwing Up What He Believes In...
Jon Malcom
Dear Americans and Rick Von Ruger,
Tonight I was supposed to be writing an article about a fictionalized Seal Team 6 battle. Instead I now find that my call is for the top of the top five.
So now I will write to you, I shall not choose Ronald Reagan pics, I will give you different pics of people and a different style. I will not lure you with pictures of small elephants either.
I warn you unlike Ajay my pictures will probably not have a damn thing to do with patriotism or this article.
A long, long, (and did I mention long?) time ago (before the music died) there was a man. A peon so to speak. Of course we all start out as peons in this game, and that's totally fine in my experience because we all need to be the low guys and gals that make up erep.
He was an impostor, someone we didn't quite understand, someone we didn't know and someone we thought was normal.
He probably reminded us of...
Well anyway like all major pains he needed a platform. He needed a reason, it would've been that the sky is blue and he would shout the sky is red.
Of course the first thing that person would do is gather those who cannot see yet and convince them the sky is red in order to start war between the blue-seeing people.
I suppose after a night of perusing the CvP forums or looking at suggestive Michelle Bachmann pics he saw a banner ad for erepublik.
The following brought to you by The Oatmeal probably resembled this:
When Ajay saw the banner ad...replace Game of Thrones with CPAC.
After banner ad in which Ajay Bruno/Ronald Gipper Reagan clicked become a citizen...
Now let's cut to the chase, let's skip to the loo, let's make a baby, and let's see what is over the horizon.
Trouble was brewing.
See the trust is everything you read about standing up for what you believe in is total trash. Rubbish and very much a dustpan full of it.
Totally unrelated person/quote time... He is one of my favorite authors btw, I have Full Dark No Stars sitting on my floor right now.
Anyway, standing up for what you believe in is fine. Of course I suppose we can always take the idea that to the victors go the spoils. One could ask what would life be if we lost WW2.
Hitler would be the most famous man in history and millions would cry over his legacy.
Well ok...that statement has some truth already...nothing to see here just me stalling for bad writing.
RGR is simply put the loser in history, so were the Germans, so is Osama, and etc..etc...
Just because they lost doesn't make them right. We knew they were bad and so did they. The difference is we wanted them to lose even more then they wanted to win.
I write in erep/RL parralels so all of the red sky people can get it.
Ajay Bruno/Winston Churchill/Barnabas Stinson/Gen. Cartman Lee/RGR are all the same person. Just a different avatar.
Anyway, please don't be like my father in real life. He would tell me that he was always right, mom was wrong, brother was wrong, sister was wrong, in fact the whole damn nation was probably wrong but daddy dearest was of course correct.
When almost 99% of the people agree on something, when their logic is sound, and when you closely examine the 1% who disagree you will find your answer.
(I in no way endorse the Occupy movement in case you were about to start jumping for joy)
Well anyway, that's all for now. Wish me luck, I now work at a place called The College Store and there's a lot of fabulous people there. I'll get that Seal Team 6 story out this week. And remember...
Oh and America...

Love the Bertrand Russell quote! I never trust someone who is too sure of himself.
OBJECTION:
I do not now, nor have I ever owned a mac.
I think all Dads are right about everything. They must be, who else could produce such genius children.
Good luck in the job, the link above doesn't work : /
bertrand russell quote is very cool as for the rest i don´t get it but my dad was always right 😐 except when he wasn´t
voted for Stephen King....
The logic used here is faulty at best and just plain wrong at it's worst. Badgering Ajay is rather petty but seems to be the flavor of the month. That doesn't change the fact he has quite a lot of support. Your 99% statement isn't even in the right area code as the past election has shown. As for your father I rather suspect he is right after reading this faulty logic you presented here.
It's impossible at a certain level to know how much support anyone truly has. We have no way of correlating the votes he receives to RL people who support his policies. There are several otehr explanations for his vote turnout, ranging from multis, to foreign nationals using him, to outright bribery. So, no I would not say definitively that Ajay has a lot of support.
After reading this I want to skip to the loo right now. : P
@Diggs
The 99% statement is not wrong, the logic presented is true. 99% of people wear their underwear on the inside. 1% wear it on the outside.
The 99% and 1% may not be exact percentages but it's the though I am trying to get across with those percentages. No I don't have a number for sold out Ajay believers, but I do know who is the 1% in these comments.
Ajay Bruno does not have a lot of support, if he had so much support he'd be POTUS and we'd all think he was great.
You remind me of my father...
I hated my father.
RGR: OBJECTION:
I do not now, nor have I ever owned a mac.
Me: Really? That's enough evidence for me of why he is wrong.
*Grabs pitchfork and torch* BURN HIM!!!! BURN HIM WITH FIRE!!!!!
Abe Lincoln invented the internet. I watched National History; I can buy that.
Mac sucks; Ajay doesn't suck: therefore Ajay Doesn't use a mac.
at least some of the comments made me laugh, good job Jon
I wear my underwear on the outside, I'm Quailman
"Ajay Bruno/Winston Churchill/Barnabas Stinson/Gen. Cartman Lee/RGR are all the same person."
You forgot another failzor account in eIreland as Ronald O'Reagan. He would start with "Top o the mornin" and still try and claim to be RL Irish.
Awesome Article 😃
Ronald Gipper Reagan, you should retire from ePolitics... well, this is obviously considering what you do is really politics because the way I see it, you do nothing but PTO and lie.
When everyone thinks alike, someone is not thinking.
Correction: Ajay doesn't have a Mac because Rush Limbaugh pwnd him after AJay pwnd himself.
I don't give a rip about politics in this game, but anybody (such as Ajay) who can be on everyone's blacklist and still garner enough support in game to threaten the political balance (such as it is), is doing something right.
Meanwhile, the eUS has had a dismal record of player retention.
It makes me wonder if Ajay bashing articles are more about covering up the current aristocrat's shortcomings rather then any threat that Ajay seems to represent.
I would have passionate sex sessions with Taylor Swift.
Voted
Your own logic makes no sense. You argue that he was but one opposing voice and the 99% who disagreed with him were right. Yet, your examples are really not the best. For one, Hitler was not on the fringe once he was in power (perhaps during the ascent..). Hitler was WILDLY popular. he WAS the 99%. The 99% were wrong. It took overwealming external forces to unseat him.
There is nothing wrong with standing up for what you believe in. I would argue that it is something to be commended
Whether you agree with Ajay or not, the parallels that you are attempting to portray do not correspond to reality. Bin Laden, not popular here.. but VERY popular in his neck of the woods.. just like hitler.
Perhaps, you should listen to you father more often. He just might have been right.. even when everyone disagreed with him.
"Dear Americans and Rick Von Ruger,"
the v isnt capitalized, noob 😛
Ajay has found a role to play in this place. Regardless if you agree with him (i dont) or hate his very existence you must admit he plays his role well.

You forgot the lulz vote.
Speaking of lulz..
How bout a Epic ragequit RGR. Come back as pizza3.
@Doubleclutch: Actually the Osama comparison is quite true. Ajay is universally despised in most of the eWorld minus serbia and hungary where most of his support comes from.
Also the hitler comparison is quite true as well. Hitler had the support of a loud minority that bullied and duped an entire nation into walking into history. Ajay does much the same, playing on peoples fears and outright lying to them enough times that they buy into the horse apples.
Being in this game for quite some time, I'd agree RGR is a menace to the eUS. He's proven repeatedly that he wants to see the country burn, and his PTO crew grows everyday.
It should be pointed out that while Ajay Bruno/PtH/General Cartman Lee/RGR has never been PotUS, he has gotten enough votes to be in third place on election day quite often. More votes than candidates who I would consider better qualified for the position and more knowledgeable regarding RL politics. So, the amount of support one gets isn't necessarily an accurate reflection of how "right" they are.
Your Abraham Lincoln quote is quite ironic though, as the picture that our history books paint of him don't fall anywhere close to his actual views of the time. One movie, aired on BBC Four, which addresses this point is Abraham Lincoln: Saint or Sinner.
I also recommend the works of Thomas DiLorenzo, a senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute. As a student of Austrian Economics, call me biased.
We're all bozos on this bus.
Wait a minute.... The Internet was NOT invented while Abraham Lincoln lived! xD

I was actually 2nd before too....
but anyway, Relorian you are a total fool.
I am universally hated throughout most of the world? 83% of statistics are made up, true story.
Actually, I am far more popular internationally than here, and liked in MANY countries, which is why are least 5-10 CP's each month are long-time friends of mine.
Anyway, this article is complete rubbish and makes no sense.It just shows Jonny has too much money on his hands and orders spam to be voted up.
Kishvier - Outright light.... prove it or zip it.
Dokomo - The other side uses that, NOT us. Believe me, I have asked...... and no one knows how to do that. The last time I had that helping me was in 2010 with the Hungarians, so nope, all legit now, which puts us at a disadvantage unfortunately.
btw, I am the good guy here.... they are the ones who steal from me and my friends, not the other way around... therefore THEY are the PTO
@RGR: Unfortunately, we're the majority, so you're wrong. Suck it 😛
I would speculate that the *majority* don't actually care. Look at the same names, article after article. People click to get a couple XP and to keep the pot stirred. Seriously people, how much more would this game suck if there were no Ajay's in this already boring game? I wouldn't be surprised if Ajay was an Admin plant!
I think we should all agree macs suck
I think we should all agree macs suck
x2
You don't know me and I don't know you!
Ajay is a stinking elitest plant (they invited him to the eUS an entertainment) and keeps any real opposition in the shadow of his nonsense. Just look how he is used to control elections month after month
When e-hell is full, the e-dead will walk the earth. And they will vote for Ajay Bruno.
^true words man...true words...
