Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

Well Krak seems to be hoping r3n or WL runs and I could have sworn I saw Hy or Skizzy post something about how they knew Aex would be a bad President.

Hoping someone runs for President is not the same thing as thinking another person would be a bad President.

Also, Europeians have a long tradition of enjoying exciting elections and not enjoying a one horse race.

But that's my two cents - I disagree with your framing is all.

Oh I enjoy an exciting campaign too, and that's not the post I was referring too (I am now scavenging the forums to find it)

How about we don't be so salty and negative about someone's Presidency before he's even had a chance to post a platform?

This shit is depressing me.

Older members can cut through the reality distortion field and see a poor presidency a mile off.


Found it. And Kuramia is right, we need to start actually giving people a chance rather than just assuming the worst before it's even come.

Somebody's got to keep you entertained.

Luckily for us, I am much too controversial to run uncontested if I ever ran for President. :P

Are you asking to be haunted by the Ghosts of Europeian Presidential Past? :P

It kind of pisses me off to say "I know they'll be a bad President" or to completely discredit their campaign without ever seeing it. You're letting your own personal feelings get in the way of giving anyone a chance and it's not okay. Dismissing someone's effort completely is insulting and an injustice to our own democracy.

As example, WritingLegend poured hours into his last campaign and the result was thousands upon thousands of words and a detailed view of what he wanted for the future. Yet because he was unopposed, the work he put into it was completely devalued and that's horseshit. We devalued hours upon hours of work, repeatedly, for what? Because a candidate can't manufacturer their own opponent? That's entirely unfair and disappointing, to say the least.

We have actual leadership data for Aex. It is not good enough.

I don't think he will be a great President, in much the same way I won't or Notolecta won't either.

There are at least five people who think this way and for their sakes I have declined to mention them.

I'm sorry you, and five others, feel this way. I'm sure they feel similarly about other possible candidates, as well.

Having a healthy dose of skepticism helps keep people honest-- and so I'm equally sure that if given the opportunity many of us lumped into that category would exceed expectations. ^_^

Since his return, we have two terms of him as a Vice President with no special projects and two terms of him as an Interior Minister during which we experienced a three month growth of 300 nations. We've also seen quite a few terms of him being a fairly decent Senator and Speaker.

I'm not entirely sure where this leadership data that makes him into a shit leader exists but I would certainly like to see it.

Shit is too harsh. Developing is more like it.

One thing I've spotted in the Senate was a mismanagement of time and resources. Things that were not important were given the same weighting as things that were.

I hope that improves, and it's the bulk of my disagreement with Aex. That and he's not in the mould of a typical Euro-conservative.

Remember when I was famous? Neither do I.

See, that sort of fair criticism would have been more welcome than the negativity of your panel discussion. Not that we shouldn't have to prod and poke further for better explanations of your position, but the average reader is going to be pretty quick to dismiss your opinions as just that with no sort of explanation or examples to back up your points.
