FG entered my eLife

Okay. Since you are an Okie Girl here is the unvarnished version of my life.

I was born in 1951 to a father who for physical reasons was rejected from service during World War II. His oldest brother was Marine Reservist and went to war right away and was killed during the landings on Saipan on June 15, 1944. His next oldest brother volunteered and was an Air Force mechanic who worked on an engine of the Enola Gay, the bomber which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan. As you can imagine my father felt like a failure. I went to James Madison Elementary school at 30th and Independence where my mother was a Teacher's Aide. My dad worked at Tinker AFB for 30 years.  I grew up running wild on the blocks around Madison, Taft and NWC back when Will Rogers Park was FN forest of trees and had a riding stable in it. That area was at one time the far edge of Oklahoma City and a lot of the streets were dead ends against a stream and pond system that went from Will Rogers Park to the Oklahoma State Fair grounds.

Then I attended Taft Junior High School Middle School where I met the Blacksheep mixed race daughter of a filthy rich family. http://ezcmu.canadian-forum.com/t1814-a-memorial#19795 Her father died when she was young and her mother passed her daughter off as Indian, she was 14 when she learned the truth.  From there I went to Northwest Classen High School for like a minute. Jane Ann was not shy about what she wanted and our relationship became very, very close. One night we got caught and I went from there to the Oklahoma Military Acdememy and spent my summers on a farm outside Ceres Oklahoma until I volunteered for the Army at 19. I was very proficient with a rifle and a crossbow so I ended up doing shit I did want to do.

Having joined the military I had no intention of every setting foot in Oklahoma again. Came home from Vietnam and took up with the farm girl I had dated from Perry Oklahoma and ended up staying. Big mistake. Spent too many years with a lying sow, divorced her, believe it or not, she stalked the fuck out of me and I went -as they call it now- off the grid. Reconnected with a nurse I met while in the service, married her and had two daughters. One who lives in OKC somewhere and doesn't speak to me much and the one who came to New York for College and never left. One last interesting fact, my wife grew up in Jamestown, NY.

My belief is that privately funded programs are the best. The problem I think they will run into is trying to raise funds. The SFP ran a fundraiser and raised several hundred thousands of dollars. However, near the end, it began getting reported as spam and Admin shut it down. It didn't surprise me though that HardianX was never reported for spam. though he wasn't raising funds. replicating national programs run by the SFP is exactly what I have been trying to preach to the SFP, guess I am a poor communicator. To the point, the SFP would support the hell out of such programs since they are 'socially aware' programs and as such very Socialistic.

Yes, Pfeffer is good at taking credit. He did the same thing with taxes. Screamed MAX TAXES for years and then when it was obvious to everyone they needed to be lowered he quickly called for lower them to 1%. I think it was supposed to be a joke but everyone jumped on it and down they went. Ofc, he took all the credit. I agree the Orik is being very vague on everything and I believe that is what will defeat him.

You would have been President many times but look to the future. You can still be President again and hopefully, I can convince you that the Feds would do better to work with the SFP. Together we can pull both parties out of their funk and challenge 'the powers that be' (<Angel reference there...) and put you ass in the Big Chair.

My belief is that nobody is doing anything because even if they do guess who will take the credit and the limelight. When I ran AA I spent all my time defending myself on how I spent the money, so I passed it off to someone else and then was accused of filching some CC. So I paid the missing amount and told them I never wanted another government job. The problem with those in government jobs is laziness, they got the job for political points and when the realize they actually have to do something to just stop doing it. I ran AA once a day each morning took all of 2 maybe 3 cups of coffee to supply the 10 or so requesters and it was done.

I couldn't agree more and all it applies to the SFP as well. The best way the Feds and SFP can show that our members can serve Nationally is to run programs and departments which replicate the governments. Recently WO more or less dared the SFP to do a better job at FA and so now I want to look at reaching out to parties in other countries. I would welcome the Feds input and help in setting up an Ambassador System to accomplish that goal. Sadly the WTP is waning and may soon be replaced by the AMP. We have tried to work with the BS and they are very untrustworthy, to say the least. So I see the sense in the Feds working with USWP.

Cerb recently moved to the SFP ala all those from the USWP going Fed and there is some worry over a PTO and he does seem to have a solid base of supporters in our ranks. Not sure what infrastructure the SFP has that belongs to the 'party' guess maybe I should ask Wooky. Personally, I have only the free company simply due to the fact I can't sell it. Believe you are correct in your assumption that you came back at the right time. I mean, after all, you met me.

School starts next week and I will begin having more time, so I plan to put a lot more effort into the party. The SFP wishes to work with you and the Feds and try to get this game back on its feet.

You correct about Pfeiffer as President. Sadly I think it will happen.

That has been our problem also, herding cats, both inside and outside our party. Working with the BSP and WTP is impossible. BSP has made several promises to the SFP and has failed to deliver every time. The WTP is Oblige and he doesn't play well with others. I think Pfeiffer 'may be' working with the AMP and I have a feeling by next CP election they will be a T5 party and good riddance to the WTP. That is why I believe it is critical that the Feds and the SFP begin working together.

After the election, I am hoping to start an AA type program for everyone, I think Wooky has the infrastructure to support such a program. We currently simply supply BC Soldiers with enough tanks once a week upon shout feed request. I want to reopen Rainy Day Tank & Food, rebranded. Some simple rules like a Citizen must use the eRepublik Stuff++ script. (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nal62cgC7lUmrur6NRzlPVU3uxtE59WGV9-bZcPoIw8/edit#gid=0).

That script provides everything AA demands in the SS. Below you'll see that it gives you Kills|Fights|Damage and that the name of the battle is at the top. SFP would be willing to work with the Feds on such a program with stipulations. It must be privately funded. Ilene Dover and Jessi -if they are willing- and one Fed member must run it. We funded it 50/50.

I know that SHIELD is still around and I would like to see them and BC work closely together toward building both units to rival the USAF. There was some talk of helping Australia rid themselves of Hungary, sadly Hungary belongs to Pacifica. Fell through in the end but BC wishes to help countries like Australia and Pakistan, Ireland, Scotland, the UK, and Poland. With Brazil, Chile, and Argentina we should look for ways to help them unite South America, help them work together rather than against each other. Let the Poland Coalition and the South American Junta split Europe between them. America will take all of the Far East. I started playing in 2009 just as we made the mistake of joining EDEN. For the last 7 years, we have been fighting for EDEN in Europe. Our FA is being guided by a European who cares nothing about America and would MPP Serbia in a heartbeat. I believe America's future lays in the Far East.

We now have the ability to Embargo countries and I believe they can be used in the same fashion as MPPs only on the Economics Battlefield. There was some Admin talk about Regional Elected Offices of some kind but I think that has gone away. Part of the reason politics and the media -IMHO- have failed was when Plato in his wisdom did away with having to run Congressionally in every region. Made it into T-Ball. It would also be the counterweight against a Dictatorship if used right. While I am not an expert on the Import Tax mechanic what I will say is Serbia has maintained 99% Import for as long as I can remember and America trembles in fear at their might -hell we are wearing them as a hat.

In the end, my greatest desire is to work with my Okie friend to not only better our parties and our country but this game as a whole. eRepublik has NO new citizen inflow to speak of and I am working on changing that. One of the ways I wish to try is a radio program on http://www.krmradio.net/, Artela and Jude use to DJ there and elsewhere. I want to do a show like Sixth Sense and the Rick and Brad show. Wanna be a DJ?
