(Editorial) Does Krapis deserve another term as CP?
Josh Whitehead
“Marco?”
“Marco?”
“Hello is Marco there?”
“No, this is Polo, can I help you?”
“Ok, sure. Can you pass on my answer to him with; I believe Krapis has done a (redacted) of a job as POTUS?
“You sure about that? It might make Krapis really (redacted). So (redacted) he might not be able to contain himself!
Turmoil, chaos and paranoia.
The three things that have happened in the last week in the eUS. From players bullying and harassing in and out of the game to players pointing fingers who is a multi. We’ve got it all in todays package.
In the left hand, you have a military alliance called CODE who are pretty much pissed off and pointing fingers blaming eUS for rumors. Krapis asks for proof and yet nothing is being produced. Beforehand, Krapis is being accused of his poor performance of handing the CODE alliance yet says “I was handed this mess by the previous administration” yet, has served two terms.
IN the right hand, Krapis is being accused of being the rebirth of Gnilraps and creating lies. There are some pretty compelling articles in the media right now that explain in great detail how they believe our current CP is not who they say they are. Then again, there are other articles with conspiracy theories explaining other means of who this KRAPIS is.
Soon afterwards, a dozen or so articles started spurring up my feed poking fun of who is a Multi and who is not. (Side note; I am Josh Whitehead’s multi
😉). They were quite enjoyable and funny overall.
But that's not the point. We’re all about wondering, over all, does our current city President deserve another term?
This guy, who's first day in the game (Apr 28, 2020). Basically pops out of nowhere and within a few months become CP of our great nation. His articles are brilliantly well made. He’s straight to the point in his articles and is well mannered. Most players, it takes them yyyyyyyears to rank up the chain of politics, military etc. Shit, even though my political belt is heavy with experience or i self declare as the media king, I feel like i have a ways to go. I am always learning and willing to learn from others.
I don’t care if one someone is a respawn of someone else. Just like myself, I changed my in-game name from time to time. I am just like many other people. Change their name or start from the ground up.
Regardless, if they get the job done, they are ok in my book. Just don’t cheat, that's not OK.
I MIGHT seem a little bias here but...
When i started eRep more than 10 years ago, Gnilraps was one of the few players who reached out to me. He was good to me and infact got me back into Rep with my last stint which was a few years ago (over 800 days at the time of publication). I even served as VP until i was booted out because Pfiffer and his pals did’nt like me and Gnil felt pressured to follow through, let me go so he could serve a few more terms. But friends step up for other friends....right? I've never hated Gnilraps. He's good in my books and he knows it.
SO, if, IF Krapis and Gnil are the same person...what gives? CODE gives
You might not know this but this CODE alliance (Cooperation, Organization, Defense and Economy) is the biggest military alliance in eRepublik. With 10 nations strong, they are not happy.
Why would eUS ruin that and wipe ourselves off the map with our own stupidity? Within a week?
Does Krapis, a 5-month old player, still new to the game, really doesn't understand how to truly run a military by his side?
“
CODE’s goal is to "do things properly" as a coordinated and unified force built upon mutual respect and understanding of one another.”
Thing is, I find Krapis a good guy. All around good guy. I never have had any issues with him, mind you, i started playing eRep again July of this year. SO, you might have a different experience but that's just me talking.
But I also feel like eUS got screwed over with the whole Alliance deals. Yet always, we are always screwing ourselves over mismanagement from one admin to the other. As i am choosing my words wisely, I also want a CP who will denounce eUS players behave in a manor not just in-game but also in forums too.
Sure, the eUS forums are and always will be a hot mess but i don't want someone in my government who is going off being a dick to other players run things in eUS. I need a real leader. I need someone to guide me, teach me and make sure im doing what i can to best represent our eNation as a whole.
Right?
I know we got 1.5ish weeks till CP elections but I also want to start planning who could possibly be best to represent me, my friends, my party and my country.
I need a leader. I feel like Krapis could lead us to another term. CODE has yet to produce any proof that krapis, his admin or any ' offical' of what they call is "blackmail".
I feel like Krapis has also addressed Aeriadne and Groot problem actually quite well and did more than what other CP could not. Denouncing someone because of their behavior. Sadly, we the players can only do so much in-game and a handful of people left the game rather than rallying together denouncing hate and bigotry.....
But that's not the point....
Last words:
We are all human and we make mistakes. We fall on our feet in the darkest of days and rise against those who hate. I feel like we can do better, as a whole. I feel like we can do better in the admin but its all about the effort you put into something.
we will wait and see what happens in the next 5 or so days within the ongoing Military war and what kind of Congress we can expect in 3 days. From what I understand at the time I press "published". Canada is standing by our side. They always have and for that, I say thank you.
Regardless of what happens in the next two weeks, We will be ok, as a whole. eUS is not going anywhere, the people that is. We are still a strong unified group who know what is best.
What do you think? Agree? Disagree?

I almost want to say a few things but I don't want to be unkind. I think Krapis has done what he could in the situation he was in. It was a tough call but he was given very few options

yah know. i got that movie on my list to watch. Havn't watched it in some time
Nice article 😉
Krapis himself is irrelevant. He makes no real decisions. It's the people behind him who control things.
I wonder who that might be ...
I repeat myself, but need to drive home the point.
While Canada is pro Asteria we really, REALLY, want the U.S. to choose what's best for them. Our main concern is to come out of this with good relations between our countries. We're tired of pissing in each other's Wheaties.
Good article! 😉
Thank you!
Good article Josh, I mean Dirty Scarlet Silverbeard.
😉
Nice article man. What a cluster fuck this has been. Doing a good job defending so far.
Ursa Fi.
not even CODE expected CODE to do well in those AS's. They announced that part publicly in the article they published in OUR media.
Can we stop pretending being wiped is a legitimate worry?
I appreciate your measured and thoughtful take on things.
What I can say, regardless of whether there are any future terms of office for me, is that I stand first and foremost for my country.
you have chosen to ignore many comments, that just a week ago you where more than willing to reply to, what changed?
and thank you for reading it. Whatever your outcome may be. I wish you only the best
eSerbia? I believe you ...
So basically your saying he may be a cheater who lied to everyone but I don't care LOL
No. Thats not the point.
I never mentioned he was a cheat. I have no proof of that. Im just stating the facts laid out in front of me
ok just clarifying. I hear your reasoning
“Even if he’s cheating he was nice to me ten years ago” is a hilarious argument.
