Glove: Separate the Sheep from the Men, Adapt & Overcome

Day 1,654, 20:54 Published in USA USA by GloveisLove


My fellow Americans,

I had a longer and tl;dr article prepared for you, so I literally deleted half of it because I can.



America, the most important part of winning a strategy game is having wise people guiding foreign affairs, so I will present them to you.

My Foreign affairs team:

Secretary of State: Emerick

Emerick saved America, and Emerick is great. This choice was a no brainer. Love him or hate him, he definitely has experience in foreign affairs and will get a lot accomplished.



MoFA: LeperMessiah

What is the difference between my MoFA and SoS? MoFA is a term I’ve always thought of used in Europe, and my panpa LeperMessiah lives on the other side of the world irl, so he’ll be perfect for making sure all our foreign affairs are being worked upon when my SoS is asleep.



Representative to Terra: Cavalcanti

Cavalcanti is a former president of Brozil, twice. Very experienced with foreign affairs and leading alliances, I’m honored to have him be one of America’s representatives to Terra.



Secretary of International MUs: Sideswipe

Sideswipe worked with the German MU //BC// and will be instrumental in making my goal of inviting more allied MUs setup base in America and help us retain our 100% bonuses.



Head of Ambassador Program: Clorofila

Clorofila is a former president of Argentina and former regional director in the US ambassador program and also a dear friend of mine. She’s perfect for making sure our ambassadors are fufilling their duties and making sure we’re updated with the latest actions in the world.




Ambassador to Serbia: Nikola Orozovic

This real-life Serb expressed his interest as an ambassador, and who better to be an ambassador to Serbia than a real Serb?



Ambassador to Russia: gbdb1678

A young player who expressed his interest in becoming an ambassador to his mother Russia as well, I granted his wish.



And a few other positions:

Secretary of the Treasury: Bennosuke

The CEO of Nakatomi Corporation (Highest compensating company in erepublik) and longterm ST6 l member (weapons RM production partner), Bennosuke is very gifted with economics, and I know he’ll provide me with sound fiscal economic policy.



Deputy National Security Council member: Relorian

Relorian has always been a critical thinker, and he is a fairly active individual, his job will suit him well.





Head of the Pony Express: Pap25pas


The Pony Express has been inactive for a while, so I offered this young lad a chance to revive it, he gladly accepted.



WHPR Writer: Dru Blood


Dru Blood likes to write, I like to read his writing, he’s perfect for the job.



BUT WAIT GLOVE WHERE IS YOUR SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AND YOUR NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL DIRECTOR. Well ladies and gentleman, I am still in the process of selecting citizens for those key positions and other high-tier jobs as well. I wanted to show that I am very serious about bringing new people to the Executive level. Because you see, I’m not aiming to select citizens that will get me the most citizens or votes like my opponents, nah, I’m selecting citizens that I think can use the experience and do something glorious with it. Something that will leave the nation better off. That is what separates me from the other candidates.

Also I will now summarize my thoughts in general.

I believe part of the problem with the system is that people believe it’s impossible to replace, or that there is no plausible alternative, that the leaders we’ve had for months are there to stay, that the monopoly of the presidency by the Pfeifferist leaders is okay, that we should just sit down and accept it. I don’t want to accept that we let one party have nearly complete domination over the rest of us, especially when that party has done little to show that it should retain that domination and considering that a lot of its tactics are actually illegal and or corrupt. Or downright pig-disgusting. That’s why I’m going to hell and back in an effort to prevent them from taking the presidency this month. The odds are heavily stacked against me, there’s been lots of slurping and group male fellating in those secret-backroom-dealing-closets, but I won’t reduce myself to that, because I’m better than that and have some self-respect for myself. The last time I was president, I didn’t allow Pfeiffer or any of his lapdogs into my cabinet nor access, of course they had people take screenshots of my administrations private & secret conversations we had on the forums (forums that are controlled by Pfeifferists, mind you), but thats besides the point. Yes, they know the game, but they don’t have any realistic goals, they just want to retain control and maintain the status quo. Their tactics disgust me and I don’t want anyone who goes to any low to win power in my administration. I kept them out of the Executive for months last time (Emerick and I) and if I win the presidency, I believe we can keep them out even longer.

We need a clean slate.



A lot of you have been asking, well what can we expect from a Glove presidency?



So here’s a few things you can expect:

-Strong movements in foreign affairs. I love working with other nations, I like getting more allies, and I like keep my mind open to new opportunities. During my first term I attacked Poland’s colonies in Mexico and nearly wiped them from North America (I was only one region away from doing so). I then attacked Spain, at the request of Terra, thus starting World War V and creating a chain reaction throughout the eWorld. During my second term America was already being invaded, on the first day Indonesia NEd us, followed by Poland and then Hungary. Surprisingly, we still fought pretty hard back, but considering all of our allies were wiped and we were by ourselves, the outcome of that situation didn’t surprise me, and anyone who says it could have been avoided is simply lying for political reasons. A little unknown story about that time is that it was actually the National Security Council and our own alliance that recommended we give up fighting, but it was I who refused to take their advice, instead choosing the CJCS’s advice and fighting till the very end. I refused to let America surrender without a fight, and we came back on the map within 20 minutes and smoothly regained all our regions after that.

-More damage. During my two last terms I invited friendly allies that I’ve known over the course of time to set-up base in America. The results of these invitations led to more friendly allies in our nation, those who want to see America retain all of its bonuses and thus fight hard to make sure America wins its battles. Another result of this was a mutual feeling of camaraderie between us and our allies, as we felt more interconnected and trusting since we let some of their citizens call America, home.

-Quality presidential articles. Writing is something I’ve been doing since I’ve joined the game, and its something I really enjoy doing. I don’t like to bore my audience, and I don’t like to keep people out of the loop, so I try my best to keep my articles interesting yet informative.

-Activity.
I’m a university student and I’m on summer vacation, so I really don’t have anything better to do most of the time, so you can expect me to be logged in a lot throughout the day.

-Transparency. If elected, that doesn’t mean I’m going to be hiding in the Whitehouse all day,
nah, just shoot me a pm or find me on IRC and I’ll talk to whoever. Any significant changes will of course be announced in an article, to keep you all well informed.

-New people in government. This is something I really want to happen. Not just because I think its a cool idea, but because I don’t know what to expect, but I have high expectations. Maybe it’ll turn out to be an awesome idea, maybe it will blow up in my face. It’s not that I think everyone currently in government or in the past government is terrible, but I know that quite a few of them aren’t living up to the expectations required of them. And people who sit in the same position get too comfortable, and some of them, even begin to abuse their power. Corruption flows rampant. I don’t want people just taking a job to pad their resumé, I want people who actually want to have an impact on the game and are eager to learn and try their hardest to leave America a bit better off than how they found it. America is currently in great position both economically and militarily, lets use this to our advantage by giving the young and eager a chance.

So America, June 5th I want you to ask yourself: are you sheep or men? Men vote based on who they think are best for the country, they vote not based on party affiliation, they vote based on who is best for America. Sheep follow orders from their party leaders without question.



I see many sheep, but we need more men.

Adapt and overcome, and we shall.

Vote Gloveislove June 5th.
