Once upon a time there was a tiny eRep boy…
Alone in the new world and surrounded by unfamiliar sights and sounds. Scared… alone.
All I knew was that this world was something I wanted to be apart of, and badly. Game mechanics at the time wouldn’t allow new players to join a party until you reached level 16 or so.
One day I was approached by a visionary… a symbol of Proud Horniness. Alexander Hamilton!
The Federalist Party called out to me, even though they were a sixth ranked party at the time, something about it just drew me to them. So I got into IRC and started talking with the likes of StKrems, citizenslave, Maykani, MitchRapp and others. I was hooked. I needed to be Proud… I needed to be Horny… I needed to be FED!
I registered on the forums and regularly visited IRC until the day I could actually join the party in-game.
Like any great community, I knew that you get back what you put in. So I immediately applied for a job with the Federalist Outreach Program. I was assigned to work under Maykani who was one of many Precinct Captains in the program. We mass mailed new players, such as myself, and let them know what was going on in the eUS and within the Federalist Party. “With such active outreach programs aimed towards new players”, I thought “this party is exactly what I wanted to join.”
Not long after being an active member in FoP and on IRC I was offered a position as a Precinct Captain of my own district, so of course I took it! I was moving up… I was becoming proud.
Then war struck…

I was called upon to do my civic duty as a Federalist and eUS citizen. I felt obligated to join  the likes of citizenslave, qubert18, MitchRapp, and TalioExtremist  to serve our country during Operation Polish Sausage. I had become a man.
From there spawned the beginnings of Easy Company. As their first Commander and organizer I knew I had found my place.  I had become horny.
Easy Company was started as a Federalist Party militia and as a new player retention tool. It quickly became a point of contention between older and newer party members. This was before Military Units were actually in the game. There was the eUS military which held most of the damage and high level players for the country and then there was Seal Team 6, which was a privately funded militia.. There were a few other militias active at the time which prompted the US to create the Office of Militia Support. OMS had been around for a while before Easy Company, and we were below their radar for a while. But the power of the Feds was not to be ignored for long!
My dealings with Easy Company as their CO had created a hunger that could only be satisfied with more activity!
Easy Company soon rose to be recognized by OMS as one of the three big militias which included Seal Team 6 and The Eagles.
The militia wasn’t enough though. I had to do more for the party I had fallen head over heals in love with. So I ran for congress.

During my eight consecutive months in congress, I was apart of the IES department and BFI, Bureau of Financial Intelligence. This gave me the idea to create and found the Federalist Bureau of Investigation to screen all incoming Feds/Militia/Congress members. It was important to know if we were the target of a  PTO or infiltrated by other parties or countries as the Feds were now in the top five parties. I also registered to vote in Real Life as a Federalist Party Member when applying for a new drivers license.
I continued to work and strive for Proud/Horniness with the Feds as the Federalist Military Director and Director of the FBI as well as remaining in congress, but this wasn’t enough. I needed to give more. Wanted to give more!
So I ran for Party President! Aaaaaaaaaand lost. Just kidding I got banned from the Forums and IRC. This outraged most of the party as they were apart of Easy Company and was done with no real reason or warning. Instead of causing havoc and ripping the party, I had suggested everyone put down their pitchforks and clubs and return to normal party business as it was all just a misunderstanding. Knowing full well it was intentional and deliberate I approached everyone in leadership minus the person that had done it and requested a reason as to why I was removed. When no one knew why, and had no reason to keep me out I was let back in and a warning was issued to the person who had done it. Two months later  however I ran for Party President… AND WON!
I became Fed
I then retired and took a year off to ponder what I had become. ( I burnt out ). Even during my “retirement” I would log into eRep every other month or so, and into IRC and chat up the late night crowd ( Usually I was drunk ) to see what was going on. A few months ago I began my slow ascent to activity again within the party I hold so dear. Finding out Easy Company had packed its stuff and left the party… I wondered what all these people in new SHIELD uniforms were doing running around. Turns out SHIELD was the new Federalist Militia. Instead of following the militia I had fought so hard to keep under Federalist control, I joined the new one knowing I could provide the same level of leadership and guidance I had for EZC. I became proud again.
Soon I was fighting the Polish devils and slaughtering the enemy of the eUS once again and was offered the position of Quartermaster. Seeing an opportunity to continue my long standing tradition of helping out the only party I have ever been apart of, I happily agreed. I was horny again.
Not wanting to slack off, and assume one role within this Old world that seemed so New to me four years prior, I was approached with the position of Director of Awesome within the Federalist party by our Butteriffic President, Tyler Bubllar. Without hesitation and with a smile on my face…
I accepted. I am Fed!
