Basic Ideas, and Accepting Applications
•
by Cromstar
Today’s theme song: Joe Cocker’s With A Little Help From My Friends...live!
Tonight, I will let you peek at the basics of my campaign, pieced together over an elifetime of public service, and I ask for a little help from my friends, and all of America!
Dude was at Woodstock, singing this same song. Nuff said.
So then, what do I stand for?
Well, when I ran as Chadwick’s Vice-President a few months ago (in a campaign that ultimately was derailed when it was discovered that several of the campaign staff were in fact cats that had learned to type), we promised booze and hookers to everyone in America.
Sadly, this is no longer possible. While booze is still plentiful in the eUSA, most of our hookers were trapped behind enemy lines when they moved to FER over the last few weeks to visit the troops stationed there. We feel for these poor souls trapped with those Russians. Horrible really.
Therefore, I’ll be required to provide a new platform for my campaign...one that’s completely hooker-free.
We still get booze, right?
Of course! It’s not a party if no one wears a lampshade, right?
But there’s more than just booze! Really!
For example, did you know that I plan to see to it that the POTUS and his minions...err, assistants and Secretaries coordinate and cooperate better with both the military and Congress (the other two branches of the government in our wonderful nation)? Well, I do!
Frankly, sometimes just keeping people in the loop on things is the easiest way to smooth the gears of government. Taking the extra minute each day to do this will certainly go a long way. Past President’s have had varying amounts of success...some did very well, some did very poorly. One of them got impeached, in part, for not talking with Congress and the military. Personally, I would much prefer to be the OTHER sort of POTUS.
If you didn’t pick up on this already, one of my major themes for this campaign is simply having fun!
Over the last year plus, I’ve noticed a saddening trend to take this game too seriously by a lot of people. I’ve been guilty at times myself...but I’ve been trying to change that. And I want you to help me out! It’s a game, and we play games to enjoy ourselves, not to get depressed over someone else’s stupidity!
Therefore, I want you to help me make the eUS more fun for everyone! Just because we’re having fun, doesn’t mean we aren’t doing the serious business that needs done.
Bet you didn’t think I could find a relevant pic, didya?
That’s not all, is it?
No it isn’t! I won’t get into too much more detail (after all...nobody likes a tl;dr article without a LOT more pictures of hawt girls), but I can say that I especially want to see continued improvement in the Departments of Education, Defense, and Media for sure (not that I’d neglect the rest of them). There’s work to be done concerning our fiscal situation that no POTUS should ignore.
Oh yeah, and there’s a little thing going on I like to call ‘Total War: PENIX Fails.’ That is, the current on-going war between the eUS and our allies and the PHOENIX alliance.
As far as the war against Russia goes; I plan on relying on the advice of experts to save myself from behaving rashly. If an opportunity presents itself that will allow us to attack Russia, or one of their allies, I am not afraid to press the red button. I do not fear war, yet I do not always jump into wars without considering the future. Don't vote for me because I will be promising you war, or promising you peace. Vote for me because I promise to make the best possible decision, considering all the relevant circumstances.
Hint: PENIX isn’t the riot police.
Didn’t you say you wanted help?
Why, yes, I do believe that was mentioned...wait, isn’t that what the theme song’s about? If you are listening to it like you should be, kudos!
I do, indeed, want help from my friends (and that’s most of you!). In fact, me and my little helpers (no, I’m not Santa and they are not elves) made up a shiny application for you to fill out if you want to help if I get elected!
Fill out this form and tell us about yourself, your ideas, and your goals! We bar no one from applying!
Additionally, as always, you can ask questions of me on eRep, the eUS forums, or on IRC. In fact, any looking to help out or ask questions or just hang out can find me on Rizon IRC at the ADTP party channel #ADTP or my campaign channel #Croms-corner
See you there, folks!

Crombies: Zombies for Crommy!
Cool story bra. Voted and subed (:
while i was reading this i started hearing purple haze....
Crom Zombie.
what is crommunist these
so much pancake mix in this article
Crommunism, not communism. Lrn2Read.
😁I lol'd.
Crommy, do you support RIF?
That's absurd, furthermore, whats the last book you actually read?
Das Kapital ofc you fool!
Another thing, your article was written in the most miserablely disorganized way. Besides, if you listen to that trash music, you probably are a communist.
It is interesting to note that you consider the military a branch of the government. This shows your lack of understanding. The military is controlled by the president and congress which are the only two real branches of government. Of course, perhaps you wish to remove the clause from our constitution which states that the military is subordinate to the executive?
Finally, I'd much rather have a nerd who takes this game way to seriously be president than someone who's main plateform is "fun." Of course you despise the nerd and his lack of a life, but at least he takes the game seriously and will be less likely to screw things up in a most dramatic fashion.

Karl Marx was a failure at lying, anyone who knows anything about history knows that capitalism lead to much less suffering, longer lives, and increased wealth, than the era preceding. Marx makes it look as if capitalism somehow destroyed some glorious golden age...which I would call the dark and middle ages, which were an era of plague, starvation, and widespread suffering.
Needs Dio
inb4 LHL takes this way too seriously and fails at history
ohwait...
You know what country has a positive view of commies? Russia. I would never vote for a communist or a socialist(I like to keep what I earn).

You people need to read and Crommy was serving eAmerica before you even joined the game.
"..anyone who knows anything about history knows that capitalism lead to much less suffering, longer lives, and increased wealth than the era preceding. Marx makes it look as if capitalism somehow destroyed some glorious golden age.."
The "era preceding" in Marxian terminology, if I'm not mistaken, would be "feudalism". Not that that has anything to do with eRep. And not that Crommunism is communism. Just sayin', that's not what Marx wrote.
"Over the last year plus, I’ve noticed a saddening trend to take this game too seriously by a lot of people. I’ve been guilty at times myself...but I’ve been trying to change that. And I want you to help me out! It’s a game, and we play games to enjoy ourselves, not to get depressed over someone else’s stupidity!"
inb4pplcantreadthearticle (lookin at loserhailose)
loserhailloser obviously doesn't know I was one of the lead writers in our current Constitution. The military is the third branch of government. Eugene Harlot and Max McFarland also helped write it and could verify that...as can any literate person on the eUS forums.
Last book I rea😛 The Iliad. I finished it yesterday for the third or fourth time. Now I'm reading an Alan Dean Foster book, finishing up the last two in the Flinx series that I just bought.
And Woodstock 😕= communism. Also...do you even know that communism isn't really possible in eRep due to game mechanics? Any attempt to do so can be subverted easily.
I clicked on an add saying Join the Communist Revolution that sent me here so it really had nothing to do with Woodstock.
Wasn't meant for you, H. Garrick...and the ad says 'Cromunist Revolution' anyways. On that note... *goes to see who's running said ad*
ROFL sorry man my bad(it was next to some other pro-communist add). I apologize for calling you a communist.
Accepted!
I think you'll do a fine job.
