We're ignoring something that's pretty pivotal here. When is the last time it mattered a snowball's chance in hell who the president was? I know that sounds terrible, but seriously: Marokai has accomplished next to nothing
I'm sorry, but, what? I haven't managed to turn this game upside down, but under my term we've certainly enacted more actual gameplay changes and forum affairs tweaks than most before me for at least two years. I want to get the regional board stuff, the Common Market enacted and integrated into the game, and work hard to get the activity requirements Amendment ratified before the end of my term, so there's still stuff to be done, but glossing over the importance of having someone in the bully pulpit at the top, fighting day and in and out in public and private to gets certain things passed literally cannot be stressed enough.
Presidents have a unique power in being able to call and hold attention to specific things, even if they can't change everything they want purely by themselves, and you should elect a President to, if nothing else, hold a spotlight on the issues that matter the most so
something will change eventually. Electing someone out of apathy or frustration couldn't be more stupid.
I've been dealing with, among other things, close family friends dying, an incarcerated sibling making arrangements to get out of said incarceration when it soon ends, and losing the home my family lives in, so forgive me not having a very close grasp on the farce that is this current Presidential campaign, but can we all have a reality check here? You don't elect someone for the hell of it. "Win at all costs" is not a responsibly strategy.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, as it couldn't be more relevant in the middle of a campaign where Oakvale is apparently claiming to be The Hero We Need. Those who claim "this is just a game, whatevsky," tend to take the game abnormally seriously in the worst ways. Napoleon should show that to you. Tmth should show that to you.
You all know better than this.First off, I'd kindly respect if my past inactivity was not an issue in this campaign. The problems I faced that caused me to sporadically become inactive have been dealt with in my life through some pretty serious events you're no doubt aware of.
I'm sorry, by why shouldn't this be an issue? I understand
why you've had problems in the past, but that doesn't mean it
ever seems to stop becoming a problem. At some point, you're the one that keeps choosing to participate over and over again and ending up in the exact same position. Not expecting that to be an issue is ridiculous, it is the
most important thing."Unorthodox" is an extraordinarily generous term for a ticket comprised of someone who openly claims to not give a f**k about the game and basks in it's absurdity, and someone who serially disappoints due to chronic activity issues and biting off far more than he can chew. At some point bulls**t has to be called; this is a deeply cynical campaign, taking advantage of a party that would murder their own mothers if it won them the Presidential election and banking on the support of those who barely pay attention.
Everyone seems to always claim to hate the cheap tactics that go on in this game. Hagrid claims to hate sleazy electoral tactics, but only when they don't benefit them, Oakvale claims to hate Napoleon's near sociopathic obsessiveness, but can't ever seem to give this place up. Everyone seems to privately loathe the legends of Hamilton's mischief making, but no one ever remembers the lessons from it all. Don't do what's convenient, do what's
right. A lot of you guys are just straight-up better than this.
