Who the Hell is this Roby Petric?
TheSupernatural
Okay... he's winning in the elections. That's bad news I think. Someone I don't know is in charge? What a shame. I've never heard of him before. I had my money on Justin or Daphne. But this guy is kicking the sh8t out of everyone else.
So let me check... USWP.
I like them less than the Libs. It wouldn't be that much of a problem if I thought they existed off of paper. But they're just paper. Given, a hell of a lot of paper. But it's just paper. And paper is weak. Paper has numbers, has plans, but doesn't have power. Until now.
So Roby Petric, why? Why the USWP? I may be ignorant enough not read any of the hundreds of articles supporting you. So I'd like to know from you why you're doing this. I don't care to read several paragraphs. 3-5 sentences is fine.
Oh, and this is for the record (get on it, Nave!) :
USWP = zombies
Goons = zombies
USWP = Goons
Use your head, America.

Yeah the title of this article explains my thoughts exactly....
Hopefully Roby will prove you wrong, we will see.
He is the President of the eUSA in case you are not following the election results.
Paper is Power
Long live the USWP!
I look forward to working with him
@Machine: That\'s why I wrote it.
@Moishe: Yes, I\'ve already voted (for Justin). The news that he is going to be president it unfortunate.

Who the hell is TheSupernatural?
USWP president huge USWP majority in congress, all at the beginning of v1...not lookin too good as of now
The SuperNatural is older than Roby Petric, iirc >_>
And people wonder why I love Supah
I must say, connecting USWP with the Goons is about as low as I can imagine anyone would go.
As far as who Roby is, I don\'t know how you could go without knowing him. He is the 15th highest ranking player in ER.
Supernatural while I still don\'t like you I am fully in support of this article.
GO DAPHNE 😞

I\'ve vaguely known Roby for a while, and he is a good guy all-around, but I know damn well that he is not very active in the Media nor in the chat. I\'ve heard their forums aren\'t anything spectacular either. Yet somehow he\'s pulled huge support into the USWP.
Do they communicate through daily mass messaging? There\'s only a select group of them that actually comment on articles. I just don\'t understand it...
I definitely do not believe that the USWP are goons
We are Patapons not Goons... hehe
Ah, I love it when Supah makes any sort of comment on anything. I agree with this article. voted.
\"I must say, connecting USWP with the Goons is about as low as I can imagine anyone would go.\"
Seriously? Do you really think that low of the goons?
lol Erepublik Rank is Nothing.
I used to be Ranked 11 in the entire world just so everyone knows.
I lessthan3 Supa
I used to be ranked 200-something. Then Geeky wouldn\'t let me run for mayor.
@Emerick: I love you too.
\"USWP = zombies
Goons = zombies

Almost about right.
I would\'ve added Communists in there somewhere though
Communists = Civil Liberties for all
Libertarians = Civil LIberties for all
Communists = Libertarians
I think it\'s important to remember that, while any party can stand for any one thing, or a multitude of things, a change as drastic as the shift to V1 will have EVERYONE rethinking their play-style, and thus their political stance. Is it so hard to imagine that relatively smart people will greet change with decision-making that they believe is in the best interest of the people they serve? When V1 starts, everyone will have had the exact same experience with the system, and everyone will be rediscovering how to play the game. Give people some credit, give them your opinions, and then give them some time.
The time is now.
Well said Geno Garon, I think the first month of V1 will show who is truly dedicated and capable
@Geno: I gave him credit. He owns a hell of a lot of paper (see general elections for October). I gave him my opinion. The USWP is evil. I gave him some time (as Joeph said, now).
I\'m just wondering who the hell put the election booth in a mall.
Its the only reason the USWP Showed up.
Put it in a church... AAP and UCP only. And the Libs and USWP wouldn\'t like that very much.
ahahaaha
sounds good to me 😉
Well if its in a church then we have that Voltare guy all up in there. And we don\'t want that either.
Note to people: Less then 25% of the population has voted, what percentage do you all think is active?
25% lol thats good for us, we were averaging 18%
you know, we think that this game is supposed to be better than the real world, and when you really look at it, it is EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE REAL WORLD. i love the irony in all of this. barely 25% votes, ah, one would think that because its easy people would vote more, but no. it seems that clicking is too much work. lol
\"I\'ve heard their forums aren\'t anything spectacular either. Yet somehow he\'s pulled huge support into the USWP.\"
Actually our forums are very active. We\'ve had them (in their current form) for about 1 and a half months, and we have 4000 posts and 300 members. We also have an active irc channel. I\'d say we don\'t have a major problem organizing the base.
Who the HELL is Roby Petric?
Well, guys - bitching on me won\'t help. While I\'ll be in charge of this country for whole month, you can either continue (suites me, as long as that make someone happy, I\'m happy for it), or focus on other things in benefit of more people. I suggest you save your breath for next elections...
But you are discrediting whole nation in this case, over 3500 people, with going on international level on forums, and you are definitely harming USA and citizens by that... Would really like to hear your motives on that action
well mommy won\'t like that language
lol
You twits, seriously, this is the logic huh? Lets bash the new president, so that we can show the world how intelligent we are. Seriously, get over it. Roby won. You see an issue? Take it up in the next election and stop whining now.
I hope you\'ve never said anything about Bush because that\'s exactly what our countries been doing for about 6 years Lukasz...
And Roby now that you are president I won\'t say anything more. Same way I haven\'t said anything about Bush and I won\'t say anything more about Obama if he is elected. You are now president and I will shut my mouth.
Now my first question. What do you plan to do about the price of the dollar. Previous administrations have regulated, but it\'s now up .08 gold over what it \"should\" be.
8 years, CJ. And nobody\'s bashing Roby to show how intelligent they are. If you don\'t like public protest, then I suggest you go to Pakistan
Emeric what are you publicly protesting? Roby hasent done anything yet, but win a fair election. Its his first day in office. So what actions are you publicly protesting? BTW, Bush, well we can jusge him by the actions he has performed, badly, but that is RL politics...
justinious and obt are my best frnds.if any of these guys win i m happy but i dont want daphne to win.hail roby!hail justinious!
Supah is a suprah duprah poopah scoopah.
@Lukasz: I really have no issues with Roby personally, or his presidency, in terms of his platform, and I\'m sure that he\'ll really do a great job. My issue is with the USWP\'s somewhat dirty recruitment practices. I don\'t think that any party should recruit at all. You shouldn\'t try to convince some one to join your party other than showing how capable you are, and displaying an ideology that they agree with, especially if they\'re completely new to the game. They don\'t know anything about the game, and it\'s comparable to making a child make a legal decision that will affect them for the rest of their lives. I\'m really glad that Roby and your party makes a point to help out newcomers, but we have had an unemployment office doing that for months, and now a department of education. That\'s not a political party\'s job. What that does is buy you votes and supporters. It\'s dirty
Errrr...why was Supah banned?
@Emerick: I understand why someone would dislike the fact that we recruit, and the fact we publicly announce that we recruit. What I don\'t understand is why you think recruitment is dirty. In real life and in games there is always recruiting so why is it so wrong and \"dirty\" in Erepublik. If you don\'t believe there\'s recruiting in games go sign-up on NationStates and you\'ll see what I mean. Also its not like once you join a party you are bounded to that party for the rest of your eLife. Our recruiters aim, not only, at gaining citizens to our party, but at helping those new members for the first few days in the game, At any time if a new member is upset with the party all that they have to do is leave.
Yeah Bucks, I\'ve heard your argument over and over. I\'ve been talking about this for months. The reason it\'s dirty is that is that it\'s a form of bribery. I know my argument isn\'t rock solid, but hear me out. You offer the newbie the one thing that\'s most valuable to them when they first join: tips. First, we have a federal department(two, now) dedicated to that. If Roby really wanted to help people, he would\'ve worked for the UEO. It\'s partly my fauly, I was in charge of it at the time, and I could\'ve offered him a job, but I didn\'t.
So, the USWP offers people the most valuable thing they can give them, in spite of a federal program designed to do just that, and then sugest that they join their party. Gee, what do you think will happen. It\'s not rocket science, so why hasn\'t anyone else ever done it? Because it\'s dirty politics. Its a way to get yourself ahead.
Now, I\'m not sugesting that Roby is a terrible person. He seems pretty alright to me....and I\'m not sugesting that \'his\' platform was terrible. That was also really good, and offered things that the other candidates didn\'t even think of. The way that I see it, when I look at what he\'s done(took over a party, recruited, offered them help, created a community, ran for president), it all seems to have led up to this point.
