St Krems is the National Candidate; Now Go Help Croatia!
James S. Brady Press Room
Well the first national primary in eUS history is over, and the winner is St Krems! I wish I could say that it went off without a hitch however any voters who attempted to vote later in the day were faced with a broken API that would not budge. I would like to apologize to the citizens who were not allowed to vote and I assure you that we’re mad as hell at eRepublik’s poorly designed API; which the admins are apparently fine with letting go down for hours on end. However we must persevere and remember that this primary was created not for our squabbling domestic politics but to assist our great ally Croatia!
Hail Croatia!
Croatia is under the gravest threat of Political Take Over it has faced yet, open citizenship means that as soon as you move to Croatia you can request and immediately receive Croatian Citizenship. Croatians are staring down this threat with their usual grit and determination, they have rallied behind the unity candidate Fabius.
We are asking every American who can to fill out this ATO form (click here) you will then be provided with two Zone 3 tickets for a flight to Croatia, where upon arrival you can request Croatian Citizenship and vote in their Presidential Election from Croatia or from the eUS (provided you retain your Croatian Citizenship). Please remember VOTE FABIUS! We also ask that you retain your new citizenship as long as possible to help Croatia fend off PTO attempts in the months ahead.
In the interest of transparency and to show that while the primary was prematurely brought to an end by the failed API that St Krems is the legitimate winner of the primary and our National Candidate for President of the eUnited States of America.

This graph shows the election trending in St Krems’ favor for the entire day, once such a trend is established it is very rare for the second place candidate to mount a comeback. This does not justify the the performance of the API nor does it assuage the feeling of disenfranchisement for all those citizens who wished to vote.
The second controversy during the day was towards the end, when the election coordinating team was approached and shown that the eRepublik Wiki showed that the Party Presidents had until the end of the third to select Country President Candidates; this was a fraudulent wiki edit. You can see in this link here that the change was made on August 1st and then the same culprit attempted to hide his deception by changing it back here. We were however prepared in case that the information was incorrect by setting up all the top five parties with the official nominee in the largest party (USWP) and blockers in the other four; nominating five candidates from each top five party prevents a PTO’d smaller party from slipping a enemy candidate onto the ballot and threatening our sovereignty and distracting us from helping Croatia.
Please respect that St Krems is the official candidate of the eUS and that the other four candidates on the ballot are only blockers. Please help our allies in Croatia by moving there obtaining citizenship and voting for Fabius who is Croatia’s unity candidate.

Super Early Edition!
Lets keep moving and unite for Croatia!

For Broatia!
Everyone can still vote for whoever they want, and throw away their vote in a worthless gesture instead of use it to save a loyal ally. If it's any consolation, this election was a lot closer to a real US election than usual. Do you honestly believe your vote counts IRL presidential elections?
> I dont really want to respect that Krems is the official candidate. At least you are mad at the API, that solves everything. I couldn't vote and for once, I agree with Pizza, democracy was taken away here. Croatia is not as important as our own country, sorry.
This is the same exact attitude that was shown by their allies that put the min this predicament, I'm sorry Ido2407 other countries send there mobile corp to assist in battles Croatia sends there entire active population. I find it pretty sad you have said this, but if other countries can put partisan aside for one month, why can't eUSA? Also I lol'd when you sai😛
> I agree with Pizza, democracy was taken away here
Nuff' said.
Ido2407 whats done is done unfortunately obviously the API going down screwed everything up, on top of that thinking the primary could be extended because we were wrong about when the PP's last day to nominate was; it was set up as a democratic system that the admins screwed us over on and now we're going to have several days of roiling controversy instead of helping Croatia.
I implore you not to waste your vote in the eUS and help out Croatia; who have put everything on the line for us in the past.
THE ONLY OFFICIAL CANDIDATE IN eCROATIAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IS LIPEC - shout this so all allies with Cro CS know who to vote for.
No confían en la propaganda, votar por Lipec!
The election results should certainly be looked into AFTER we all return home from Croatia. At worst we have a month (barring congressional impeachment action)until we can correct this. The Croatian situation, at worst, results in them not having a country anymore with no way to get it back. If it were not for the Croatians we would not have a country of our own right now to be bickering about. Do what's right and then we can patch things up back home.
Ido2407 I only brought up the RL comparison because roleplayers like yourself seem to like that sort of rhetoric. Honestly, idgaf about even maintaining the illusion of democracy. This is a strategic game and we need to grow some balls and play it like one instead of whining like little-leagers about "unfair" elections.
Baarogue I love you more and more everyday.
Phoenix propaganda, again!
" I dont really want to respect that Krems is the official candidate. At least you are mad at the API, that solves everything. I couldn't vote and for once, I agree with Pizza, democracy was taken away here. Croatia is not as important as our own country, sorry. "
Your unconditional worship of democracy for sake of democracy is silly, this is not a time to be idealistic, but adapt to given situation. If Pizza or some other sleezeball won the primary I'd understand if someone refused to take Croatian CS and keep US one to prevent someone like that being elected, but ST Krems seems to be your best candidate and favorite to win, and even on the off chance he wouldn't have won, USA will be just fine.
Saying "Croatia is not as important as our own country, sorry." is plain insulting to me, because what Croatia is facing is TO and complete destruction of any hope to come back anytime soon. If Phoenix candidate gets elected, they'll open MPPs against Croatia and leave us on one region and it could take a year (without exaggeration) to get country back after that, while all that's at stake in US is having your idealistic view of democracy damaged by such small extent that I'm mind blown you'd say something like that.
You need some perspective, take a deep breath and look at the big picture
Fionia didn't even vote for Fionia. I digress, I think that it is amazing that our country can unite to help out Broatia when they need it most.
Fail Phoenix popaganda
VOTE FABIUS !!!!
I accept the trust put in me. Thank you. Now go vote in Croatia
@Baarogue: someone (I believe Mark Twain, but am not sure) once said "If our vote meant anything they wouldn't let us vote".

Phoenix, be quiet. FABIUS
KREMS
Insightz,
please understand that the "usa> Croatia" is shared by NO ONE else.
We are prepared to give it all to help you guys, as you have done for us.
You have and always will be Broatia and we are ready to go to the ends of the earth for a bro.
What will the return procedure be like for those who leave to go to Croatia? Are volunteers expected to stay Croatian through Congressional elections? Is it true that citizenship requests will not be honored until the White House is satisfied with the Croatian effort?
I'm staying in the eUS so I don't get locked out of my own country.
Dr. Tango, don't worry, I know. You guys are doing great job so far on ATO. I was just explaining the situation to someone who seems to have deleted his comments 😛
Zeutheir, I doubt they'll force anyone to stick with foreign citizenship, but it would be really good if you could keep it for congress elections on 25th because that's when round 2 starts. No matter who wins presidential elections, if they lose congress majority, their candidate could be impeached.
I can appreciate that need, insightz. There has just been no official announcement of what this policy will be or how returning will be handled. I just wish our government would be upfront with volunteers of what exactly is expected of us.
It would be acceptable to blame it on the API if the API had had a very good record in the past. However, everyone knows that the eRepublik API is not very trustworthy, and that it has had multiple problems in the past. Therefore, it was not appropriate to rely on the API for something as important as this.
However, I do think that St Krems would have won anything, and I believe that now the only thing we can do is to elect St Krems and help our Croatian bros.
I agree with Pizza, democracy was taken away here x2

ANYONE THAT SAIS LIPEC IS A PHEONIX PTO'ER.
As I predicted, 2-clickers were disenfranchised.
@N.S. Duke Mihajlo: You might want to change your Phoenix avatar before babbling incoherently in foreign media. 😃
In a month and a half, Krems will have to resign to go to jail. Calling it now.

First time i have seen that ATO form. We should be getting it out more for people like me who can't afford moving tickets.
Also, the voting was not fair in any way. I couldn't vote and many others got fucked by the poorly designed API that the admins never cared to fix. I can't believe the admins really don't give a fuck about us. I can't quit though, it won't do anything. I definitely wont be inviting anyone to this game, but I am hoping that they lose tons of money so they actually fix all of this shit.
Why can I not find a statement telling us how many votes were cast in the "primary"? I suspect the numbers were laughably low. But I would be glad to be proven wrong. So, HOW MANY ACTUALLY VOTED?
seeker1, if you add the final vote tallies for each candidate from the above graph, that'll give you some idea. I'm counting it now and it looks like... 256, give or take a few. Lol, that ~is~ pretty funny, but keep in mind the API went down later in the day.
I agree that it's ridiculous to say that our country is more important than Croatia, who is facing a PTO threat. We're lucky USA isn't facing one, so screw in-game ideas of "democracy" and cooperate together to help someone out who has helped us out. I'm glad America, by and large, recognized the threat and created this National Primary so that folks could aid our allies in their time of need.
~Voted for Fabius~
