Let's Talk, UIP.

No really, take a seat. Unless you've been living under the proverbial two-clicking rock, you've probably noticed some interesting things with the current PP election. One of those things is that we actually have four candidates that have declared their willingness to take the position. That's two more than last month and three more than two months ago. That's great. It goes to show that we are definitely improving in a multitude of ways. I'm not so proud of the flak being shot, though. Even if you are an active UIP member you may still be wondering who two of the candidates actually are.
Pig Disgusting...
First there's chickensguys . The first time I even noticed him was when he declared his candidacy out of the blue. His original article has since been deleted. In one article by the name of "responding," chickensguys makes it obvious that he does not understand how running for Party President will not necessarily allow him "to lobby for you and every other person in our nation." May I suggest running for congress? Although he may wanna bring out the grammar book first.
Second happens to be George Pumpkinette. While announcing his bid for the Party President position, he mentioned at the end of the article that he was going to, and I quote, "save the UIP from it's present leadership." Need I mentioned that he also asked Pizza the Hut, also known as Ajay, to be his campaign manager. Do I even need to explain what is wrong with that? The UIP's "present leadership" is undoubtedly my cabinet and I. I take that very personally. Mainly because I hand-picked almost everyone that is working on the cabinet to further the UIP's reach and goals. What is his vision for the UIP? He hasn't really made that clear, now has he? Another red flag is that he is completely unaware of the dangers of working with Pizza the Hut. That's a great way to ruin any credibility you might have. In his next article, entitled "Pumpkinette For PP OF UIP," he says that although he asked Pizza the Hut to be his campaign manager, he did not expect any involvement. Is that not mutually exclusive? George also fails to realize that being a "liberal" has nothing to do with eUSA politics. Upon more research you'll find that George actually started out in the UIP but "rage" quit it because we could not guarantee that he would be able to run in his RL state of Virginia. This clearly shows that he is, quite frankly, ignorant and unwilling to compromise. He also displays little knowledge of game mechanics and the differences between real life and eRepublik. As the icing on the cake, it's no secret that he is at odds with most of the members of the party that he is trying to "save."
Previously thought to be unpossible.
UIP, I'm going to ask something of you. Not only as your current Party President, but as your friend. Consider the other two, very qualified, candidates. I'm talking about Pikezh638 and Herr Nicholas. Both of these men have what it takes to lead a party and lead it well. They understand what this game is all about, and most importantly what the UIP is all about. They really have your best interests at heart. I encourage you to read up on what Pike and Nick have to bring to the table in their platforms. I'm not afraid to generalize that most of my party is with me on this. These are two dedicated guys who are gonna do what it takes. Unfortunately, I cannot bring myself to say the same for the other two candidates. Maybe after they familiarize themselves with eRepublik and the UIP, they will become more solid candidates.
Keep it classy. Keep it fun. Hell yeah, UIP.
Comments
I just love politics.
As a liberal I can agree with you, as a fellow party memeber I am curious why you let the other two out. Would anyone else in the party offer, TiberiusM, the oppurtunity to have an article published? What heart, running for PP without a newspaper. And I merely quit, I was upset not in a rage at all.
George, you should know that TiberiusM was a former Secretary of Business of ours. Additionally, it really didn't help your credibility when you deleted you forum account suddenly and without explanation. 😉
There you go again. As a liberal? What are you talking about? If you would like I can reword "rage" quit and say you quit in fury.
@warriorx, one could almost infer from your comment, I had some credibility. Thank you, for that. Image how much worse our relationship would be if I had stayed around as the UIP membership left mean comment after mean comment on the thread I started on the party forum. I have a singular goal in mind, the longer I am denied, the more determined I become.
@Chris, just one liberal, are you going to do the same to any of the conservatives in game. I mean there are a lot of them, should keep you fairly busy, telling them they are stupid and conservatism has no place in-game. How about I quit because I didn't want to be dragged down by all the negativity. If I was to get angry and express myself as bluntly as I do in real life, I would become very lonely in-game, quickly. Honestly, for me it was the best thing for me to do (leave your forum and quickly).
Hrm... This fighting could better be used to improve the UIP George. Get involved in some of the programs and help out. Everyone has to start somewhere.
Lulzness maxxxxx
now @George - What Chris is trying to explain to you is that, you can roleplay being a liberal or conservative all you want. But the reality is RL politics like that don't carry over here. Liberalism and Conservatism take a backseat to united fronts. You cannot be one or the other and succeed. You'll just get laughed at.
Also, you did overreact and you did infact rage quit after whining about not getting what you wanted when you wanted. The reality was that we were working on it and we had you set up to run and everything. Its the entire eUS system that takes time, and you were unwilling to be patient and work within the confines of that system. That means you will have no success anywhere until you change.
We were more than nice and accepting to you on the forums. You asked for positions we said great join! Then when it came time for you to actually sign up or do work, you never showed. You left us hanging and made us promises that we were going to invest into you work, that you never fulfilled. Then you turned into a troll, insulted the UIP, and made demands. That is when the UIP retaliated. If you're going to tell a story, you should tell the truth. And here it is.
awesome article... until pumpkettle spoked
@chickensguys: (puts on sarcastic face) You are getting SO much credibility from giving this article DEconstructive criticism. OF COURSE we know why you're insulted because you gave no explanation, and OF COURSE we know you're the best PP candidate because you use the BEST spelling and grammar and you are the LEAST trolly person EVER.
Vote for chickensguys. He's "hear for the eamerican people"!
Chickensguys is busy laughing at all your faces.
lol@idiocy
Guys, just ignore them. It's FAR more productive to reach out to the voters than to try and educate buffoons.

Just stopped by to say Hi.
Kyle321n, I am so proud of you for carrying on the traditions of The Messiah. Truly, I say unto you, chickensguys is worthy of full Lewis-ship. His deeds are in keeping with the highest order of Lewdaism, and should be commended appropriately.

Vote Pike or Nick for a healthy, happy, and secure future for the United Independents Party.
Chickens, I didn't call you a buffoon.
But thank you for confirming it 😁
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
The more I hear "vote chickensguys for uip pp" the more I want to run again...
