The timing couldn’t be better.
Our country really needs to focus on building up interior programs and being a dominant force in the air so we have more options when it comes to smacking people around. Just so happens I’m really good at interior programs and, not to brag, but I totally won a Sky Hero medal the other day. (lol)
Seriously, though, these are things that have to happen. Everyone wants war, including me! When I started entertaining the idea of running for the D, I had to analyze potential targets for the massive war I wanted to wage. Mama’s a little bloodthirsty! I thought the powers that be were just withholding all the really good targets and being total pansies about war. But, I learned. My eyes were opened to the truth- we are far too weak to do the really exciting stuff.
I don’t understand this. We are America ffs. Shouldn’t we have at least the second or third biggest dicks on the battlefield? To be honest, it’s these air battles. They are worth so many points and we aren’t as dominant as we need to be. We need to be better.
We need to level grind, basically, so we can unlock the next tier of targets. Give me 4 weeks to try and do this. I know I can’t solve all the problems myself and we probably can’t even do it all in 4 weeks. But if you elect me I can promise we will be closer than we were. We will be on a path to making our community stronger and doing more air damage.
Strengthening the community is the piece that always gets overlooked because it’s by far the biggest challenge. We like our factions and our social bubbles. But it’s not enough to just have strong fighters, we need to be organized. That’s really one of the best things about air battles- they allow for easier organization of strikes and community-building opportunities. We need to take advantage of that and start shifting our culture into one that does that sort of thing.
So, unless something goes terribly sideways (and I am totally prepared for, and a little excited by, that possibility) it looks like we are going to keep working on reclaiming the colony of eIndonesia and freeing them from the rebel force that has infiltrated them and defending our allies along the way. While we do this, we can work on building up our air strength, organizing our forces and bolstering our community. There isn’t a clear roadmap to make all of this happen, but the team I have assembled for the month have all eagerly jumped on board to do exactly these things. They are all coming to the table with original ideas and some real excitement about putting the work in so we can change the game for the eUS. We want more targets, dammit!
This may not sound terribly exciting. Certainly not as exciting as promising THERE WILL BE WAR!!! But I don't want to promise something I can't deliver and we need to make sure our house is in order. It’s something we keep putting off. I’m good at doing that kind of thing, so I think now is really the perfect time for me to become Dictator.
Watch for more articles and I’ll be posting on various forums to discuss, should you have any questions. I’m usually pretty available on discord. Send me a pm or ping me.

? u mean dictatrix
If you really want to improve the community, you could repeal couple of blacklists.
You have shot down every proposal, even if they made reparations.
Yes, I shot down the one single unblacklisting vote I have ever seen in my entire eLife. I'm not sure I regret it, considering the player in question and her track record both before she left and since she returned.
Were you trying to make a point, Jimmy?
@fingerguns its easy to be against someone but it can be hard to give them a shot.
@chickensguys she got her shot. Despite my no vote, she was unblacklisted. She's been voted into Congress. She even served in Orik's cabinet for a few days.
I'm not out to destroy her. I am just personally of the opinion that giving her, specifically, a shot is more trouble than it's worth. No return on that investment.
But who cares? Is she even still playing?
There were three.
You voted against Artella, Hoss1965 and Chickenguys.
Jimmy, you said I shot down proposals. Hoss and CG were not proposals, they were only discussions. If I voted down those proposals, please link me because I can't seem to find them.
what, just to pad your party's numbers. Didn't the fifth top five just out "active" the third top five party in the congressional elections?
Major Trite/Pop George/as George Trolls/ pop George.
How many times were you banned?
if you bother to check (you can do it via the games forum portal), you will discover I have not been banned from this game under any account.
I have, with the help of your members, discovered using "hard" next to "penis" does get me a forfeit point. You dicks might report enough of my infractions, to get me to five fp's.
And the most fun I have ever had in this game was appealing a fp for insulting a political party flunkey and have the Admin agree with me that calling said flunkey "stupid" was my civic duty.
So please continue making false accusations and reporting my potty mouth.
What if the reason we aren't attacked isn't the Wild Owl policy but the fact that we are weak as shit and the enemy looks at us and decides to laugh at our inability to actually win against Indonesia. We are literally France at this point, so either we get some Napoleonic Spirit into this or we take on a finer cuisine and more white in our flags.
then you'd just be wrong
Wrong about us being France or us being weak? Or maybe us not having a fine cuisine? Are you saying we already have one?
Basically, we're chicken, just recently we couldn't find balls to air-strike one unimportant Baltic state!
I've been trying out some different methods over the last week or so to get newer/weaker players fighting in the air.
I think it is absolutely possible that we become a real force to be reckoned with, but it is definitely going to take some work. I'm totes willing to put that work in. I hope you are too!
Does it matter? Soon we'll have MPPs with all nations, so whatever!
"What if the reason we aren't attacked isn't the Wild Owl policy but the fact that we are weak as shit and the enemy looks at us and decides to laugh at our inability to actually win against Indonesia."
that's where you'd be wrong
Awwww, but can we still adapt the french cuisine or the Napoleonic Spirit?
No, we can't. I'm not sure if you realise how much work goes into keeping us safe MCKK.
If we are not weak little kittens instead of strong lions why can't we hold onto Indonesia?
Because we don't feel like spending money on Indo, and if someone attacks our cores we open the floodgates and I'm p sure most countries know this.
What real reason do we have to hold Indo? As far as I know the point of it in the first place was to have war going to rank up and gain TP damage for the cash. It seems that Indo spending money to release regions for us to recapture saves us from doing it. All in all the war serves its purpose, so it can be considered a success.
french food is terrible tho

GOURMAY AS FUCK
It's because we have $50 bazillion dollars in the bank and nobody can be assed to fight against that, ALONG with those other things.
I can get behind that.
Finger I quite like these military policies and agree with them, however, even though you mention "[your cabinet] are all coming to the table with original ideas," without noticing them I worry about your domestic policy and whether I, or many others, can give a vote for you. What is your cabinet's domestic policy plans? What will you push for funding? How about unblacklisting MU's like EZC and BC or giving them funding to give CO's, the lack of which proved vital in this slog of a battle that is Sulawesi?
Unblacklisting EZC? BC? Neither MU is "blacklisted". The CP, also, does not provide funding. Congress does. As it stands, neither EZC nor BC have ever asked Congress for funding.
i'm curious as to where you heard of the MUs being blacklisted lmao
It was nice chatting with you on discord about this! Seems like you got a bit of bad info.
I responded to a similar question on your party's forum. There is no blacklist for MUs. And, as others mentioned, there have been no requests for funding from private MUs.
It was great talking to you too! Obviously there have been buzzwords thrown around. Funny enough since Finger signed up on our primary we are running against eachother, I hope we can avoid buzzword rhetoric! Please correct me if I fall prey to this again y'all, I really do appreciate it and I end up learning so much!
lol, as a rule you should never listen to any history lesson given by someone in SFP (or the Sheep), because they're the blameless victims and everyone else is mean and hates America and puppies and Jesus.
I've put a spell on you, so next time you mention SFP...
Yes, some of the MUs did get funding, in the past. Bear cav. and ezco were among them.
Some people get selective memory, but it's fine. One less think to check off the list.
some parties like to blacklist (by rigging it's primary) members from congress, while complaining about congress blacklisting it's members from congress...
George, every system can be gamed or rigged to a greater or lesser degree, depending on the system. The key is to trust the people involved.
If you have actual evidence of SFP primary vote rigging, please communicate them because I'd very much like to know, so the system can be improved. Communicate clearly, articulately, with all pronouns explained and assuming nothing. Like you're making a police statement. This is the only way you will ever get any justice.
In short, put up or shut up.
George Pumpkinette you have been in Congress and in fact were elected to Congress as an SFP member and the second you signed in you f@%king resigned.
So, as Ilene has asked, 'Put up or Shut up.'
EZC never received any funding from the Gov under my command, not sure where you got that from.
Only the organisations under USAF and before that eUSmil ever got funded.
Iirc EZC does not even want funding, because with funding comes the obigation to listen to the cabinet/congress.
There used to be a militia support office, but this was exactly the issue. There are lots of strings attached to gubmint money
boating!
I didn't know you were still alive. Holy damn, it's good to see you kicking.
I revived recently, but likewise. I hope elite is treating you well o7
elife*
Tis what it is. Would be better if the Emperor would check in and say hello.
I could be the eUSAF lecturer. Take a look at my rank in air battle! 😃
You're a decent fighter. It's a shame you have been led astray. Fear not, my love, I will liberate you from that evil alliance.
La vie est drôle
