Not Really A Presidential Run
•
by Jacobi
I intend to run for a ballot nomination for March 5.
I also intend to run in April 5, May 5, June 5, July 5, and September 5 regardless of whether I am actually placed on the ballot, regardless of whether I actually win.
Since my term 6 months ago Canada has been assailed by poor choices made by its leaders, and although I still contend (see the Christmas edition of this paper) that ignominious failure doesn't really effect the day to day lives of most Canadians (beyond the inconveniences of Daily Order disruptions due to lackadaisical foreign affairs), it certainly isn't fun to see day in and day out.
As President I will run a simple, effective, government which provides Canada with competent leadership to maintain the essentials of the game. That would be a Congress, a system of allies for reliable Daily Orders, and a semblance of order.
So if you prefer a less depressing narrative that doesn't sound like a plot to a morally bankrupt reality tv show, I encourage you to consider voting for me if the "mainstream" candidates don't fit your bill.
But hey, I have read in a few papers that people *enjoy* getting the shit kicked out of them again, and again, and again, and having Congress wipes, so maybe there's a kinky strain of masochism out there that I just didn't know existed.
The point is, Canada could do worse (and has, repeatedly ... recently) than me as President. So I will be happy to be an semi-permanent option in case competency is a change people might prefer. Vote for me, if there isn't anyone better to vote for.

Sounds like this guy could deliver on it.
I demand butter

("ERepublik’s greatest success likely stems from the creation of the economic system" vs. "The war module itself is an embarassment.")
Guess which module won out in that debate : (
I was thinking more of William Duncan's play on the Demand Better campaign. But that good sir, is a brilliant find.
This is honestly the most compelling articles about running for CP that I have ever seen, good luck.
"kinky strain of machochism"
as opposed to the normal, everyday type 😛
good 1
There are a lot more gimp suits 😛
"I clearly don't really care, but if you elect me I guess I could try and get us a region back."
Worst. Campaign. Ever?
I find honesty to be the best campaign. And let's face it, do we literally have anyone else credible left who's at least known internationally?
Homer is serious about his run. He's probably the most respected eCanadian left in the game, and by that I mean he's probably the only universally respected eCanadian.
"I used to have the most CP medals, Apparently I don't anymore, So I'm running for CP even though I don't give a crap so my vanity can remain in tact as the guy with the most CP medals"
That about sum it up Jacobi?
How's that third term going for you? 6 allies, 50k in the bank, country wiped, Congress wiped. My that sounds successful.
The butthurt is strong with this one.

At least we will have a Plan B every month in case another February happens (;
Bush. The monkey chased
Voted
yeah well this not really a comment
I'll vote for a mainstream candidate with passion over a pessimistic prick any day.
And I encourage you to do so. This is, as Auk points out, a Plan B candidacy.
With the potential and experience of a former leader to propel it to be a viable option. It's a shame you have such a poor attitude.
You weren't there man, you weren't there...
Buck, he did that. Times were different. This article and attitude reflects what happens when a game/community changes and our recollections of what could be still lingers. (if Jacobi permits that intepretation of mine)
Sorry but TEDEN was good times and we're a far cry from where we were just over a year ago. A Plan B that guarantees the minimal requirements to keep MUs with active DOs is a reality that more CP candidates should base their platform on before aiming higher.
@Plug: Still, the minimal has fallen drastically.
Joke-obi...
After all, what has the current cp got to show got to show for all his effort?
No article in 12 days, no posts outside closed Congress g(that assumes there were some in cc), no congress, no territory, just a few "exciting" resistance wars. It's reminded me of his previous shows, absent
The butthurt is strong in this one... Whats it like being a never was Etemenblahblah? .... lol..... lol.... lol....
It's sad to think he measures his worth by his actions here isn't it folks? One would think if he cared so much he might just....try.
Change your mind much, or just more sober?

Can't forget "We are a country of roleplaying twats that can't get our shit together for more than a month or two at a time. We are a joke without a punchline, a country without a military, bitter and burnt out from an irreparably broken community. Any country that has any relations with Canada can expect us to do no more than mouth weak and inane platitudes, because that's the only thing we are now good at." from my link above.
So, are we still all laughable twats?
You are.
Burn? Voted for originality.
Sobriety remains the same, I rarely drink. I stand behind the accuracy of the Christmas Edition of the paper. I just think having terrible leaders isn't any fun.
Hey, don't get me wrong, I appreciate candor, some of the above just goes a bit far for my taste. Which doesn't mean it didn't need to be said by somebody, just that some of what was said was more of a congressional than presidential thing to say.
Generally speaking as a person I've usually advocated or said extreme things to push people in that particular direction, knowing that very few people will go as far as I've said. I find that advocating the middleground doesn't push the debate far enough to the middle.
