Finger Licking Announcement 1
VoxHumana
I added a little Cointreau to my Coffee tonight, so it’s the perfect time to write.
6lb, 8oz. Smallmouth caught in Colorado
The Smallmouth Bass is one of the more popular species of fish favored among sport fishermen. Per pound, the Smallmouth Bass provides a tremendous thrill once hooked.
They leap out of the water, they pull hard against the reel, they put up a hell of a fight.
You might be fishing for Crappie, but when a Smallmouth hooks onto your line, you know this is no Crappie.
This is a Crappie
I share this information because it just happened to me.
Please allow me to explain.
When the Secretary of Media reached out to me with an assignment to interview the current Cabinet members about their involvement in government, I was fairly intimidated. Really, I was.
I don’t know a single thing that is actually happening in this game. I still just got here.
And so the questions I asked in those interviews were a little soul-less. My EREPUBLIK soul has not yet lived long enough to express itself in anything but the most rudimentary ways. Forgive me.
I’m just a two-week-old boy.
And like many boys, I also don’t work well “on assignment”. I do better without imposed structure.
That’s what boys think, anyway.
But I did discover that I enjoy asking people questions and reading their answers.
How does a brand new citizen, though, determine the most interesting people to interview?
He looks for anomalies.
He looks for patterns in the game, then he identifies the ones who do not fit that pattern. Nine times out of ten, those will be the interesting ones.
Well I had not yet begun to surf my way through the intricate details and information available on all of the various pages in this browser game. The profile page of every citizen, for instance, is a treasure trove of information. But I hadn’t even gotten that far yet. I wasn’t even one week old!
All I had done was poke my nose into some newspaper articles, read them, and observe what kinds of things people were saying in the comments.
And like a child who accompanies his father to the fishing hole for the first time only to hook and land a Six and a Half Pound Smallmouth Bass, I did.
(A Smallmouth of that size is quite impressive, though Smallmouth Bass have been caught weighing over ten pounds.)
What happened was simple enough. I was perusing the gallery of newspapers, trying to learn my way around, and a comment caught my eye from a citizen named Ronald Gipper Reagan.
What caught my eye about his comment was that it was unlike any of the other comments I had seen so far. Ronald Gipper Reagan was decrying our country’s warlike posture towards the Serbian forces which, in the current conflict, have been the aggressors.
His position, as far as I could tell from a single comment in a single newspaper article, was that eUSA should be friends, not foes, with our foe Serbia!
Anomalies.
I had one.
A single voice of dissent in a sea of comments about our evil enemies from the Balkans. I was instantly intrigued and reached out to him straight away for an interview.
Well let me tell you something fellow citizens of the EREPUBLIK Nation of United States, Ronald Gipper Reagan is no Crappie.
He is a Smallmouth Bass! A Muskellunge! A Northern Pike! A King Salmon in a pool of minnows.
I HOOKED A BIG ONE!!!
Can you imagine my excitement when he shared a YouTube video chronicling his meteoric rise to power in the earliest days of this game?
It was very much like finding out the person who has been living on the other side of your back yard fence for 12 years is a Michelin Chef. Perhaps you feel stupid for having turned down his invitations to his BBQ last 4th of July, but you sure are looking forward to next year!
If you wish to read the juicy details of my exciting interview with one of the most colorful personalities I have met in my two short weeks as an EREPUBLIK Citizen, subscribe to my Newspaper. That way, when I publish this interview tomorrow, it will be easy for you to find! (My thanks to Aramec for alerting me to the button which shows me the latest news from my subscriptions!)
So Subscribe, and watch your newstand for my first full-length EREPUBLIK interview, the legendary Ronald Gipper Reagan. Look for it tonight, Day 4556, at 20:00 EREPUBLIK time.
That’s:
Ronald Gipper Reagan Interview
To be published in Finger Licking Good

I cannot get your link to work.
Go to eusaforums - general erepublik discussion - pinned article named "The Ajay Bruno Story".
See also, https://eusaforums.com/forum/index.php?topic=1878.0 .
There are such things as alternative facts! You can read all about them there.
The information there lines up with a lot of what he has been telling me. I expect this to be an exciting interview article with much discussion afterwards!
RGR/Ajay is a creep
These are strong words from someone I respect.
Correct words. Avoid this guy
Weird comment from such a new player. Must be someone old...
pants = penis prison!
what an anomalous thing to say
I went fishing yesterday. Good times.
cant wait to see how he used you ...stay away from this guy ....you cant believe anything that he might say and you cant believe the crap he has done to folks in the game and outside of it ...just look for links you will see what I mean
Thank you for your kind advice. I have had a delightful conversation with him so far, and I look forward to relaying all of the details in tomorrow night's News.
I really hope someone finds the time to tell you the story, I'm having writers block at the moment just trying to think where to even start with it.
That guy has been an enemy of the state for 10+ years, so careful how close you get to him.
Excited for the interview regardless, he's "interesting" to say the least
Watch yourself. He's gone after people from this game in RL before.
Also, for those who might like to see a history than you will never get from the subject himself: http://eusaforums.com/forum/index.php?topic=6714.0
There is so much to read. 9 pages. But one thing I can confirm is that throughout my interview process with Ronald Gipper Reagan, he regularly mentions being the subject of much persecution. So this thread on the forum fits the story I've heard from him so far. My biggest fear is that this subject is far greater than what I've got so far and that I will not do it justice.
you have no idea
He's been "persecuted" like cancer cells under radiation therapy.
I encourage this. Your curiosity will he answered and maybe so will many others’. Keep asking questions. I love questions, especially WHY questions.
Thank you. And after encountering the lengthy forum thread concerning this citizen's history, I must say that, as the forum administrator, your opinion counts for a lot.
Meh, I'm just flabby, bald, middle-aged tech nerd that pays for some domain and a server.
This should be good.
And yeah it is going to generate conversation, lol.
Good deal.
I approve even though he is a creep
You are one of the sweetest people I have met so far in this game, so coming from you that is quite a blow. What a scintillating event this is.
A lot of the posts here are from people who were on the other side.... So wouldn't expect a fair response from them. Always happy to tell the other side of the story to an inquiring journalist!
Traitor
Another scathing comment from a player I respect. I had no idea I was interviewing such a controversial citizen. THIS IS FUN!
bb
This should be good. I was not here for the entirety of the Ajay Bruno saga but I was Secretary of Homeland Security a number of times. I'm happy to give you an interview from the other side's perspective if you wish.
ARE YOU SERIOUS????? I JUST LANDED A BLUE MARLIN!!!
hit me up whenever is convenient for you either in game, forum, or discord whatever strikes your fancy.
I will have to do some research first
YES PLEASE
V+S
thank you!
voted, suscribed and endorsed
Thank you!
jimmy carter has character
This might be the best thing I've seen since I logged back in.
My goodness thank you! I am just getting started.
This is entertaining to a point but the fact that PtH is still looming about essentially unchanged is very disturbing to me. I don't think I am alone in hoping that, at least in the early days, his offenses were reflective of a young person who was very immature and was exhibiting an uncaring stupidity that was part of a role he had decided to play online. As we watched it all unfold from those early days to this evening, as evidenced by his remarks above, this is not about R/P but rather a true representation of a very delusional and most likely disturbed person. Effectively, there is no R/P going on here. This person has been consistently showing us his true self for over a decade.
The game stuff is just game stuff and as a group we learned how to contain and isolate him. However, I will never forget that he caused harm to a RL person. I believe that this person is always ready and willing to harm others, especially women.
He is the foulest of all fish.
It is amazing to read his story and see how many people truly despise him. I have stumbled onto a very big topic here.

RGR my old friend o7
Please send me a PM with a short comment about what his friendship has meant to you in this game.
you might need to get a restraining order later on
He has been a perfect gentleman with me so far.
