Why I'm Voting for XG
Arcaian
With the elections coming up in just over a days time, the news is filled with articles explaining why you should vote for one candidate or another, or who's in who's cabinet, or what the candidates plan on doing if they become the country president. As you can probably tell from the party I'm in, I'll be voting for Xavier Griffith. This article isn't trying to convince anyone to vote for XG instead of Witherd, I'm just trying to get my perspective out there.
I'm not an experienced player. I'm still in division one - I'm not even level 25. I've recently started eRepublik again - I've been playing again for a little over a month. There are a couple of reasons why I'm going to be voting for XG instead of Witherd - I'm not trying to insult Witherd in any of this. I respect him for the work he is doing - he has helped eAus a lot this term. But there are a couple of reasons I'm voting for Xavier Griffith, starting with:
1: Xavier Griffith supports the Circle of Trust, and wants eAustralia to join it. eAustralia hasn't joined a regional alliance in a long time, and with many of our powerful neighbours, as well as most of our traditional allies, either in CoT or pro CoT, it is a very good choice for Australia to join. There are minor problems with the CoT, however my personal opinion is that joining the Circle of Trust is a very good strategic move for eAustralia - we would have strong alliances with powerful people in our region!
2: XG is after peace with eChile, and has been a key part of making the agreement with eChile. eChile has been attacking us for quite some time, and we've been completely wiped for some time. XG has shown that he can communicate and deal with eChile and our other neighbours effectively - he was one of the key members in negotiating the deal with eChile, and this proves to me that he can lead our country in the diplomatic department
3: XG listens and helps the new players - I've only recently joined, and XG and the rest of the ARP (especially you Lousie!) have been the most welcoming and nice people in eAus. I published an article that got their attention, and they took me in, have updated me on whats changed in the last 3 years, and helped me get back into the game. Without them, I would still be clueless!
He's willing to talk to and help the noobs - something that is so important as the CP - he needs to be able to understand what it's like to be a new player, and he needs to make decisions with the new players in mind. I'm not saying Witherd is mean to the new players, he just didn't act like XG did, at least to me. He has even given a bunch of new players roles in his cabinet, to educate them on how eAustralia works.
In summary, both candidates are good players who will help eAus, but for the reasons outlined above, I feel that XG is the better candidate. Good luck to both of them tomorrow, but I'm voting for XG!

AMERICA NEW DIRECTION! SURPRISE SURPRISE@
VOTE AND SUB FOR YOU, please don't report for spam!
I believe you got witherd1 and XG confused there.
Explain to me where I have them confused.
Excellent article Arcaian \o/
And the ball is in your court now Flatty.
One of the things that has been so irritating about discourse in Australia is when a statement or opinion or even an enquiry is made, there are these "witty" one liners that are made in response in effect they are "put downs"
.
So Flatty, this is a serious well written article - WHY do you think Arcaian has confused XG & Witherd?
bearing in mind he has high regard for both of them.

Hahahaha

I love how they found 2 noobs to write articles. Now thats desperate.
What they give you Vryli and Arca. Cabinet Positions? A pat on the back? Weapons CC? Or a "promise"?
Na, i bet it was a nice friendly talk like "oh i have an idea". There just going to use you, man, id end my own life to make you understand.
Just because he is a new player, doesn't mean he can't understand the situation and decide who he decides to vote for and please do end your life, it'd make him understand what an idiot you are.
I actually don't think it's desperate Icetek, I think it's a smart idea. Considering the point of the ARP is to help give noobs experience, it makes sense to get noobs to write articles - it shows that they're not just bullshitting us about helping noobs. They really have helped me.
It wasn't anyone saying they'd give me anything. They have honestly helped me in this game, and I feel the need to tell the community why I prefer XG to Witherd.
No Voted
So hes a chile slave, I know not to vote for him, thanks for this article. Oh and its obvious you are either a puppet or multi of XG, thats just sad
... how on earth could I be a multi of XG when my account is made around the same time, 4 years ago? Who keeps an account inactive for 3 years and then uses it? Really, please just use some logic. It doesn't even make any sense, use your brain somewhat before you post, it's just pathetic.
And no, I'm not a puppet. I actually think what I wrote is true, and I arrived at it of my own thought - maybe you should try that sometime.
