[FIST] CTHULHU for PotUS

"Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters."



Good morning/afternoon/evening to all of you out there in the eWorld. I'd like to formally announce my candidacy for President of the United States.

What does it mean to be PotUS?
Why would I even consider running for this office after being out of the game for so long?
Why would YOU consider voting for me?



Let's start with a little bit about me. For those of you who do not know me from a (glory) hole in the wall, here is a brief summary of my political activity in the eUSA:

Federalist Party, every position except PP
USWP PP x2, and every position multiple times
Secretary of State x2
Country President x2
Secretary of Defense x2
SEES VP for four months.
Secretary of Defense, deputy
Eastern Europe Director, US State Dept
Secretary of State, deputy
Special Forces, XO
Embassador to Turkey
Embassador to Hungary
Embassador to Ireland
Major in the eUS Cavalry
USTC Honors Graduate
Congressman (x45)
Director of Arm America

I've enjoyed just about every minute of my 'active' time in erepublik. Over the last couple of years, I've been enjoying RL more; and I've seen a decline in the quality of Role-Play in erepublik. Well, I'm here to give you something to sink your teeth into, if only for a couple of days. I'm a long-shot to win, and that's OK. While we conduct our campaign, we will have some fun; and maybe we'll energize some people to get involved. That's one of the most important aspects of being PotUS, in my humble opinion. We strive to become the apex of the game, and we shall use this position to elevate those around us. Have you guys heard of Oblige or WildOwl? Whether they admit it or not, I gave each of them their first jobs in the eUSA government. I'm not boasting for the sake of pounding my chest. I'm merely pointing out that while I did not know it at the time, when I gave each of these guys some time and minor advice; who knew they could become two of the most important people to every participate in this game. I could post my cabinets for you to check out, but you can do that HERE. I'm not here to relive the past, but to give what I can to the future of the eUSA. I wouldn't be surprised if there are still a few relatively unknown people out there that will play a large part in our future. I'd like to meet the future of the eUSA, give them whatever useful advise I may still have; and perhaps even help the eUSA continue to prosper in the future.



I plan on inviting people to be in my cabinet that have very little experience on the main stage, coupling them with deputies that have experience and advice to give. I would like you to post a comment below on why you should be considered to be a part of my campaign and cabinet. I also would like to invite you oldf***s to go out on a limb and challenge yourself. Maybe you would like to rename your character, rebrand if you will. The more elaborate and exotic the character, the better your chances will be to get into my cabinet. And let me make it perfectly clear, Pfeiffer and his good-ol' boys club are NOT welcome. Pfeiffer is toxic, arrogant, rude, and in my opinion, detrimental to the development of new talent which is the bloodline of the eUSA and erepublik at large.

I mean what I say, and I say what I mean.

Furthermore, I'd like to invite everyone to invite back any older players, suggest that they re-brand themselves; or whatever may motivate a person to give erepublik another look. When I was president the eUSA had over 7k citizens, SEVEN F***ING THOUSAND; and we are down to 1677. When I was elected to my first term as president, there were 1843 votes; in the last election there were 426.

If erepublik is dying slowly, let's have some fun before we turn off the lights. I'm here for fun, to give erepublik a few more fleeting moments of brilliance before it sails off into the sunset, set ablaze by the arrow of fate.



From upon the throne of PotUS, you can expect me to push for some exiting platform ideas. Here are just a few:

1) Once upon a time, there was serious discussion regarding the eUSA and eSerbia signing an MPP. I even suggested the notion that the eUSA, eCroatia, and eSerbia sign them and conquer the entire known eWorld. This was an obvious pipe-dream, but I seek to intrigue you, entice you, and even enrage some of you. If elected, I will seek an MPP with eSerbia. I'm sure there will be some 're-arrangement' of MPPs and loyalties, and I do not wish to seek this MPP on a whim. No, quite the opposite, if we are able to get a positive reaction from eSerbia; then let's consider this a long-term strategy. There is an end-game condition to erepublik and I think this is one of them. Let's do it or set the eWorld ablaze in the attempt.

2) Coupled with the goal of MPP'ing eSerbia is another goal: growing our MPP stack. When I was PotUS, I was an MPP-whore and loved every second of it. I would love to see a stack 30 countries deep. And before anyone even says it, I don't give a s*** what it costs. When you are considering end-game conditions, getting consistent MPP damage accross timezones should be one of the goals. This won't happen overnight, but it will happen and I'd like to be one part of the process.

3) Taking all of this one step further, I intend to apply to Asteria. Let's S*** or get off the pot. I'm all-in with a fullhouse. What choo got? I do not intend to turn our back on any long-time allies or slap them in the face. I encourage anyone that considers us a valuable ally to follow in suit. Let's get everything in order for the end-game in erepublik. Can Pacifica merge with Asteria? Is such a thing even possible? Let's get this show on the road.

My name is CTHULHU and I would like to be your President.
Would you like to win erepublik? Vote for me.
