Day 849 - 2 days ago was 10 years for me.

Day 4,377, 19:34 • Published in USA USA • by Old Man Jenkins67

Some of my history as well as Erepubliks history.

First off, I am running for PP for WTP so if you are in my party, vote for me.

My ebirthday was 11/12/2009

I signed up 10 years ago. I played for a while. Back then it was a lot harder to move up, get gold, etc.

I ran for congress and this was my story. What a different game it was then.

I'm going to edit for grammar and easier readability but I'll include the original link.

It is a throwback.



Day 849

As a complete n00b to politics in this game (you cannot be anything else unless you are in politics already,) I wanted to document my road to running for congress.

I researched how to get started. I read the same thing over and over: Get involved, volunteer, become a deputy ambassador, become involved on the message boards, and IRC.

OK, I have done these things.

Then I found out you need party "endorsements." Not sure what this meant, I pm'd my party president. They said to look for the form in the upcoming paper.

Did this mean their paper? The party's paper? I just did not know.

I went to the parties page (on eRepublik) and somehow stumbled on the little balloon that took me to my party's forum. I registered and told them I would love to run for congress in Arizona (I figured I would start with a wasteland state.)

I then read you must be a member of the forum for at least 30 days before I could run. I went back to a post an edited it, begging: Even though I just joined "Can I still run for Congress?"

That was yesterday. No response yet.

So, I moved to AZ. Put my bid up for Congressman of AZ. As of yet, I have no endorsement.

I even asked a very popular Ecitizen to endorse me somehow. He said, "Make me P.P. and I will..."

I have no platform because I have no idea what my parameters are as a congressman. I could say "Raise import taxes!" I could say "Lower-income taxes!" But I do not know if I can really do this.

I do like the fact that my P.P. says they want to run a transparent government. I can get behind this...

So this is the road to Congress for me. A lot of red tape, which I will continually document in my paper "The Modern Drunkard."

If you want to follow me on this road, vote, and sub and we will all see what happens.


Day 4,377

So after my election to Congress in Arizona, I fulfilled it, A woman moved into my apartment and I did not play for a long time.

She has been gone for a few years. Here I am, having fun. Even in this game.
😃

Original post. It is fun to read the comments.
