Well folks, we’re nearly at that time of the month again. Congress elections, oh boy…
As this term comes to an end an injustice has occurred. Read on, to find out what horrible things Congress has just done to itself this time.
A veteran elected SFP representative (Franklin Stone) was effectively censured from Congress by the Speaker. That is, his access to the private congress boards (where most of the discussion and voting occurs) was revoked by the Speaker (Congress’ elected moderator). Why? Well, here you go.
Wait, what? Because I don’t like you
Apparently that’s a good enough reason to deny a vote to an elected Congress representative
I certainly didn’t think so, because arbitrary exclusion of representatives on personal grounds is an abuse of power. Franklin Stone was legitimately elected and is entitled to vote and discuss things as he sees fit. As such, I requested the Speaker overturn Franklin Stone’s censure. You can read all about it http://eusaforums.com/forum/index.php/topic,41671.0.html. The opening phase of the discussion:
I’ve been censured myself for that thread. It’s on legitimate grounds, so I’m not complaining - it’s the price of admission I was expecting.
Well, so what?!, I can hear you thinking. You should be outraged! We have a democratic government, despite the mechanical presence of a dictator. The exclusion of dissenting voices because I don’t like you should get you angry! Silencing of opinions is a sign of real dictatorships, not a mechanics-only dictatorship.
This situation is going to persist for as long as there is a plurality of Congress seats held by a group of people who consider themselves born to rule.
If this sort of undemocratic behaviour disgusts you, or makes you angry, I have good news. You (yes you, any particular citizen of the eUS) can do something about it. On Congress election day, don’t vote for any party that displays anti-democratic behaviour.

Vote SFP to make a change!
Better spread this round too. This is majorly f'ed up
Not a majority
Things will change, we will have the majority sooner or later, because our cause is just!
Of course, your imaginary cause in a browser game is just. eRep's Mandela......
You don't know game mechanics.
There are game mechanics?
The forum clique has dominated eUS politics since 2009. While you give them any say in matters, or even the time of day, they will use this to dominate. Total boycott of the forums and operating completely within the game mechanics is the only way to defeat them. Alternatively, if you can't stand the heat without wishing to lash out, get out of their kitchen and into a friendlier one, as I did long ago. The odd comment made in a comment like this is far better than getting oneself a bad reputation or allowing oneself to be bullied into either giving up or becoming less than one really is.
The thing is that a dicktaker is in place to make harder for the opposition to only play ingame.
I understand conoleteltnwhere you're coming from.
Walking away isn't really in my nature. If everyone that has been put off by this sort of behaviour stayed on, or returned with a vengeance, or simply refused to tolerate it when it happens to "others" then the forum community would be enormously improved.
Giving way to bullies only encourages and enables them.
"Total boycott of the forums and operating completely within the game mechanics is the only way to defeat them."
Agree 100%
Now come back and fight with us!
All In good time! When I do eventually come, there will be no doubts about it. Time for a root and branch cleanup. Call it unfinished business. Of course, the forum controllers may stop any of you giving me citizenship!
Disgusting behaviour. It's sad to see this is how political matters are being handled in the USA.
Please share to raise awareness with your norwegian friendos
For what purpose, komeko?
To raise awareness of the issue at hand to make sure we address it to people outside of the metagame.
No taxation without representation.
forum is a bad thing 🙂
Solution:
- Overthrow the Dictatorship in eUSA to give all congressmen a vote.
OR
- Someone else has to create a new Forum to get rid of the terrorists owning the current one.
First one can be done tomorrow, second one is a hard endeavor.

How much do overthrows cost nowadays?
I mean, I have over 1kk CC on stock and the determination bonus would make this a pretty save win.... I don't want to spend too much for this however...
2 kk, but that's not the solution, has been done, people got "blacklisted".
Putting the forum oligarchy out of power is a greater challenge!
A Forum could be opened for free, but it is a lot of work and it has to be established in the community... This whole thing makes me pretty mad, let's see if I can take the time and find help for this...
That would be awesome!
Just for Test: http://emurica.forumprofi.de
it's not so good that it's a .de (Germany) domain.... yeah, I am going to delete this.
Option 3 is that SFP hires me as political strategist, but that is no cheap option either (I would legit get them into any position of their choice when motivated).
Voted. Other comments and thoughts are being personally censored because they wouldn't be nice.
Also agreed, Illene boo-boo'd on the quoting outside private congress, so that was a legit censure.
I'm glad I wasn't in congress this term.
BTW, voting BSP in the congress elections would be just fine with me too. 😉
"This situation is going to persist for as long as there is a plurality of Congress seats held by a group of people who consider themselves born to rule."
well that is what happens when you appont a shithead for speaker, that is he cant argue and disguise somehow the personal feelings for an argument!! (not that it would be fine anyways, but only as corouasy of position he holds)
Vote SFP to make a change!
Keep telling you guys, the only way to shut these arseholes down is to leave that cesspool of a forum and play by game mechanics. This has been happening since the old forums, it's the very definition of insanity to allow these people to control what you do day in and day out for years.
Cheers!
tl;dr
I know it's complicated, all these letters, but mummy will read it to you!
vote
I think the "I don't like you" was just a joke cause Tenshibo was bored to explain everything.
Check the forums, he said it privately to Franklin and in the quotes Ilene sent. Dude was very clear "I dont like you" was the reason.
Maybe Tenshibo is the joke. When is is bored to explain things he should better resign.
Nope. I Sincerely dropepd his acces because I was bored.
Voted
WE TRUMP NATION NOW
cCc TRUMPSHIBO REYIZ cCc
P.S. aren't you cabinet Ilene? You should leverage Trumpshibo a new asshole because you can tbh, this whole game is bout dem backroom gangsta shit with jazz music and everything
No, I'm not cabinet.
FG and I parted ways on Election Day, believe it or not...
Whats all this cry baby stuff about cant you follow procedure and ask for a reinstatement vote? instead of throwing a tantrum?
