Necros Xiaoban, I Cannot Tolerate
HobbitTon
Wow! I can't believe how long it has been since I wrote on my citizen's paper. Before I continue on with the piece, I would like to apologize for the lack of activity I have submitted on this newspaper. I have been so frantically busy writing on other papers, such as the HobbitTon Industries Updates and the Federalist Paper, that I have almost lost sight of this one. I am sorry, and I promise that I will start picking up activity on this paper once again!
Furthermore, I would like to thank all my current subscribers because I have accumulated over 100 subscribers! I still wonder to this day how 100 people give a crap about what I have to say. It is just incredible. Thank you guys so much for the support you have given me in my short eLife. I cannot have come this far from a newbie without every single one of you!
In fourteen days, we will be heading to the polls and electing another president of the United States of America. To speak with honesty, you cannot properly judge a POTUS unless you have been in their shoes because of the demanding stress it takes. You must put in time and dedication to this fine country to have a good approval rate. But America, we must be weary because someone is running.
You might have heard of Necros Xiaoban. If you have not, he was a former Speaker of the House and a proud member of the United States Worker's Party. As you may know, I have been elected into Congress in New Hampshire yet again (thank you!), and immediately one of the first discussions I had was the impeachment of Necros Xiaoban as Speaker of the House.
To my pleasure, he has been impeached as Speaker of the House. In my opinion, he has been one of the worst Speakers of the House of all time. Before you start assaulting me, let me say that I have been smart and looked through the previous Congressional threads and weighed the previous SoHs against him. I also asked many former Congressmen and even some former Speakers of Houses.
For one, he did the bare minimum of what a Speaker of the House was supposed to do. He did moderate, occasionally. Sometimes a thread would get out of hand before it was moderated, and I feel that a Speaker of House was supposed to do a lot more. I mean, I would have even wanted rainysunday to succeed him. She has worked her butt off mass messaging Senators on a daily basis.
What I am worried about is Necros Xiaoban is running for President of the United States. We cannot have this man in office. Sure, he has a flashy avatar that could give someone a seizure, but if he cannot hold the job of SoH, how can he hold a tougher job as POTUS? Furthermore, does not have the leadership to withstand the responsibilities of the POTUS.
Remember the time that the eUS Forums totally shut down? We really needed a way to communicate and continue the daily function of Congress, and IRC was not a reliable form of communication for us. Nothing was done by him during that time of crisis. Much of my term was gone due to this. He could have at least created a temporary forum specifically for Congressional use. A forum like that was made, but not by him. This is a direct example of him not taking the initiative.
Before someone becomes POTUS, he or she usually has a media mogul medal. Necros Xiaoban has over 300 subscribers. Communication is a must for any leader, and even in Congress, I cannot appreciate the lack of communication the man had between him and his peers. This man did not take the initiative. He was fine with the bare minimum, and that is what is keeping me worried.
Still, to this point, I cannot understand if NX is running a legitimate campaign or just a lulz thing. That enough should be enough to discourage you for voting for him.
With that off my hairy hobbit chest, I can move onto something more current. The United States media has always been crappy. Every time I check the latest section, I am not surprised to see frequent crap articles with not though or composition in it. I mean, sure there are some great ones here and there, but for the most part, meh.
If you have noticed in the last couple of days, Necros Xiaoban has gotten an absurd amount of votes. Well that can be normal with someone with over three media mogul medals, he got more than 100 votes in thirty minutes. How can this be, you ask? This can be accomplished with zombies, lots and lots and lots of zombies.
This screenshot, taken by Alexander Hamilton, shows how many organizations Necros Xiaoban owns. He has over 4000 friends, a vast amount are these organizations. Zombies. Lots and lots of zombies. No wonder he joined the USWP
As you can see, Necros Xiaoban has been using these organizations to boost up his vote count on his articles. This is perfectly legal. The problem I see is more ethical than anything. Obviously, it costs a copious amount of gold to create all these organizations, and Necros Xiaoban had no where this amount of gold. Hmm, I wonder who the richest guy on eRepublik Rising is?
That's right, Max McFarland 2. The rich man transferred over 1000 gold to NX, so he could create all those organizations. I am disappointed in Necros Xiaoban for doing this. Not only does this discourage of many of these up and coming writers trying to make a break in the media biz, but we could have done so much with gold. Russian takeover anyone?
Syrup, another United States citizen using tons of organizations for his media achievement, has also made me sad. Even though NX used his methods to "counter" his immense votes, Syrup is still to blame for hurting the United States media. Yes, be ashamed, very ashamed. Think about it. If Syrup didn't do what he did, then NX wouldn't have done what he did. Am I right? Probably not.
Can someone tell me what is going on? This is getting on my nerves more than Golum done before he bit of my finger. Man, I just told him to pull my finger, but he just bit it clean off.
Don't take this the wrong way, Necros Xiaoban is a good dude. He is nice and understandable, but given the circumstances, he cannot become POTUS. The example above should be enough to sway your vote for him. Maybe if he matures a little bit he might be ready, but now, I don't think so. He is not the worst person in the United States, we can thank Pizza the Hut for that.
I would like to conclude this article by saying two things. VOTE KREMS FOR POTUS! He has done a fantastic job as the current POTUS and will continue to do so. He has a great work ethic and a strong heart. He would not be running if he didn't think he could win. Secondly, congratulations on becoming Speaker of the House ligtreb! It took you long enough.
Vote and Sub!

Frist.
I like this HobbitTon guy.
Voted.
Thanks for giving me something to think about.
4 more weeks!
Voted >100x
Also, that is one beautifully strobing avatar
Also, I'm not here to counter Syrup. I'm simply here because Syrup was insufficient to the needs of his clients. I have no interest in warring with Syrup.
Also, my friends are almost entirely american citizens. Whether they're alive or dead, I can't say. I suppose we all die, eventually.
Also, NX JUNE 2012 POTUS
Another good article HobbitTon. Keep it up.
HobbitTon is a pretty awesome person. Only people who disagree disagree.
I really didn't appreciate having the extra votes NX, even if they were good intentions :/.
Amazing how it takes NX 4 posts before he remembers to mention his POTUS run.
Anyways another good article HobbiTon, keep it up.
This org business is rather junvenile, yeah?
Also, good article, sir.
since you first got elected to Congress, HobbitTon, you've been the biggest cheerleader.. no, bootlicker.. I have ever encountered in game or in life. if there was an original thought in there I sure didn't see it, this article looks like a rehash of every |NX| bashing piece written by your puppet masters.
I'm glad to here it GAC 😃. It was just on my mind. I am not copying or bashing anything, but thank you for the bickering. It was quite entertaining 😃.
George Armstrong Custer, you sir, are a whiner.
I totally agree about the using orgs to vote your articles into the top 5. NX, please don't vote mine up with them, I want to know my votes come from real players. However, I won't address your actions in Congress because I did not see you in Congress. But, your reasons for not wanting NX to become PotUS seem personal, I only have your word that he is not right for the job. Maybe, like sometimes happens between PotUS and the JCS, there was clash of personalities?
GAC, since you been elected to congress, you have been the biggest idiot..no, retard.. I have ever encountered in game or in life. If there was a decent thought in anything you post, I sure didn't see it, you're posts are just a rehash of every idiotic post written by your fellow retards.
Dr. Tango \O/! Hahaha. Anyways, I have edited an example in for you Cold Hearted Snake about NX not taking the initiative. I have nothing person against NX, but your opinion was greatly appreciated. Thank you 😃.
Good article HobbitTon I agree completely. I dont really have that much against him but the fact he cant do his job SoH makes me wonder at his effectiveness as POTUS.
Voted!
lol its only been 11 days since you last wrote on this paper thats not that long
Too me, that's years.
I want a newspaper but I'd have no subscribers >.>
CPN, you are a very knowledgeable person. Take a chance! Everyone starts at 0 subscribers, but through hard work and dedication, it is possible to achieve great things in the media biz. I will support you all the way
yeah srsly i 4/5 of the way to a media mogul
THIS is why I stay out of politics. Let this be a lesson, politics is the devil.

Ah, finally, something solid to bite into! Now that you have mentioned it I think I read that somewhere else. I remember the forums being down, but isn't there someone who runs those forums? Would not they be the logical people to create a backup as soon as they knew the original Forums where down? Do we really want our PotUS to be the forum moderator?
Thank you HobbitTon, for listening and coming back with some solid evidence rather than immediately going to personal attacks. A player with a brain is always refreshing to come across. Thank you!
Voted 😉
CHS, Exec created their own forums for temp use.
A congressmen even created forums for congressional use, but NX denied us the ability to use them.
Dr. Tango,
I know you as a reasonable player and I respect your opinions. I am not a computer geek so I do not know how forums and such work. So please explain to me and the newer players how NX was able to 'deny' you use of these temporary forums?
"since you first got elected to Congress, HobbitTon, you've been the biggest cheerleader.. no, bootlicker.. I have ever encountered in game or in life. if there was an original thought in there I sure didn't see it, this article looks like a rehash of every |NX| bashing piece written by your puppet masters." - And you say SEES calls people names and insults them with childish tactics? Shame Custer. Shame.

This is just to friggin funny. The person who does nothing but attack players personally is calling that tactic childish.
Please guys, none of this. Custer had his own opinions, and that's fine. Spread the word!
Sorry my friend, itchy trigger finger...
CHS- Ever seen SS? thats all Walli, so don't you dare say he does nothing but troll.
NX denied it because he was approached by the creator as well as another congressmen and they asked that they move the congress there, NX denied them. They were new congressmen and weren't ready to counter the SoH, so congress spent a week doing nothing while the forums were down.

Dr Tango, I think this is where we'll clash. The SS. Just two letter, SS, but the horror those letters invoke could not be worse. 'Walli' (resting a joke) having created them is exactly why I oppose him. H***, he can't even respond without sticking his foot in his mouth. Sorry, but I have no respect for him.
So basically this denial was a Congressional procedural thing rather then anything to do with actual control of the forums? Are the forums not hosted by a service? The outage seemed to be at the service end, would there really be anything any President could do?
I like the part that from day 1 Necros was told "You will be impeached". So the call to impeach him in the first few days of the new term was no shock to him.
I learned that fact after he was impeached.
Personally the SoH in my view is a moderator. Thats the whole role. Moderate topics, move them from point a to point b, put them to votes when needed. Of course I spent a lot of time in congress in eSingapore where they dont bother with half the drama inducing stuff the eUS does.
Don't be a douchebag. VOTE 4 KREMS.
Cromstar is pretty great, too1
Hah. I never denied use of the player created forum. I pointed out the issue of lack of OAuth, and told them to ask the senators on IRC what they wanted to do. Congress as a whole failed to support the move.
