II: The Voice of This Person

Day 1,841, 08:33 • Published in USA USA • by The Artful Dodge

Hello. I am The Artful Dodge. Rascal, scalawag, lover, and frequent user of Jean Dujardin avatars. Welcome to my humble paper, my digital hideaway where I can share the musings of my addled mind with you, the other players of this strange little game called lif...I mean eRepublik.



Tomorrow we as a nation go to the polls to elect our next leader. As our current President Cerb and others have made clear, there are plenty of important things that the next POTUS needs to take care of: Our foreign policy is a mess, we need to develop a workaround to benefit from the bonuses without actually having them, and we seem to be suffering from a lack of enthusiasm and a growing complacency.

Because of these things and more, there seems to be a lot of apprehension around the vote tomorrow. The AFA has put up Hanibal LA, while the "Unity" front has gone with Inwegen. Though few would doubt that Inwegen is qualified, there remains some anger over how the "Unity" candidate was chosen.

While this is a democracy, we need to make due with what we have. Regardless of what happened, Inwegen is the candidate. Unless you want Hanibal LA/RGR/AFA to be calling the shots for the next month, the choice is clear. I find it helps to close your eyes and think of England.


Shortly after joining eRep, I was approached by Haselrig to join a small 6th party, Vox Populi. Initially I was hesitant. Particularly after changes to Congressional elections, 6th parties have no real power right? They can't possibly be active can they?

What I have found is a small group of dedicated players that want to put their talents to good use. I have had meaningful conversations, planning sessions, and it has made this whole thing more enjoyable.

If you are new like me, and need a home, consider Vox Populi.

If you are looking for a party that is committed to putting the eUS first, that seeks to give all a voice and the tools they need to succeed, give us a look. We have some big plans and we need the right team to achieve our goals.
Speaking of politics and my new party, we all woke up this morning to a lovely message from Ronald Gipper Reagan asking us to vote for Hanibal LA, who wil only be a puppet to the American people? (RGR's words, not mine). Apparently it takes courage and wisdom to vote for their sham of a candidate, here's hoping that voters lack that tomorrow. It is painfully obvious how full of it the AFA leadership is. They claim to be all about loving America, but clearly have no respect for the citizens of the eUS, lying to them blatantly and using stupid role-play rhetoric to appeal to voters. Like his article says....."think, it's patriotic".

Because Olivia Munn, that's why

That's all I've got for now; but I'll be back with more inane commentary and witty banter as needed.
