Noticed I wasn't excluded in the small text, so here is my submission.  

---

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 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!

*bump*

Back in 2009 I joined this game.  I fought in wars long lost and forgotten, I recall battlefields that are now part of museums, a cold strong wind would flow off the battlefields...

Evil minions brought up massive changes to the world as 2010 came in, I donated my entire fortune to my party at the time, and I can't say it was well spent or for what it went towards...

3 years pass the party I was in now ashes in the history of erepublik, its forums long torn down, lost in time like distant memories...

I look at the map and see something so horrible my heart grew heavy, things were not well in the old red white and blue.  Again a enemy was at its doorsteps again liberty freedom and the pursuit of happiness was at danger of being extinguished.

I thought to myself there must be something I can do, not for myself but for my nation....

While reading about PTOs and ATO's and so forth rising political concerns, I looked through the political parties... then I saw the Federalist Party and all doubts concerns washed away.

I knew I was home, as I clicked a new chapter in my life opened up, new chances, new victories, and endless  

I am a citizen of eUsa and this is my story.

P.S. I havn't slept in 24 hours and this makes perfect sense at the moment..

MourningStar: "I also registered to vote in Real Life as a Federalist Party Member when applying for a new drivers license."

Now that is dedication. I think this man right here wins.

What can I say about the Federalist Party? Why would anyone ever want to join the Feds? What makes us so special? Some say it’s the community of people that do what they can to help both new and old players. Others say it’s the ambition to make our eCountry the best around. But what do I think?


Being a Fed is about more than just being proud and horny for your party. It’s about working together to create a better new world. Being a Fed is not just about your party, but about your country.

Country > Party > Self.  

What does this mean anyway? About a month ago, I couldn’t have told you. As a young citizen I was unaware of the lengths people went to help our great nation. But I can see now that without these people working like a well oiled machine, not much would get done. But I digress.

The ultimate question is why I believe in the Feds. The simple answer is that they are just amazing. The Feds are a collection of minds helping others to achieve their goals. It all comes down to what you want out of this party. Whether this is to climb the political ladder or become the most popular, it’s all up to you. It’s what you make of the Feds that make the Feds so great. It’s each person and their skills of writing, communication, strategy, and political prowess that make the Federalist Party unstoppable. And you know what? That’s what makes me proud and horny. That is what makes me wake up every morning and “crave a brick of butter”.

I wrote this 5 months ago after the Fed Awards in May. It's how I want all new players in the Feds to feel.


I was all set to get this article written and rolled out last night, but the overtime I have been cranking out the last few weeks caught up with me.  While gathering my usual assortment of pictures I passed into a peaceful, proud, and horny sleep.  Well rested I am ready to crank out my literary awesomeness.  This will be an article of gracious acceptance, and thanks.


Malarkey83, has selflessly assembled, and hosted a Fed Awards program the last 2 months.  As a fellow Fed I want to give Malarkey83 a shout out and a thank you, for taking the time to do this.  Sometimes it can seem like the Feds are so loaded with helpful, talented, and unselfish individuals, that their many individual acts of kindness and greatness get lost in a collage mosiac of awesome.


During this month's Fed awards I won the Baby Fed of Gold!
It is an honor I happily and gratefully accept.  As I stated above, there are so many great Feds who do such good work, it is thrilling, and exciting to have my own small contributions be recognized.  In fact this was me the next day when someone stuck a mic in my face to ask my thoughts on the award.


Now that I have composed myself:


I will use my hands in an article of thanks.   Before beginning I want to congratulate the other winners and nominees, your august company makes this award that much sweeter.  I would like to thank my fellow Feds, for having such a great community, it was and is my inspiration to work hard in my Fed Job, write articles to point out how great they are, and will be my inspiration going forward to serve in new jobs and write new articles.  The best part of the Fed community is how open and welcoming it is.  Even though many core Feds have been together a long time they have never once made me feel like an outsider.


I also want to shout out Josh Frost,he has long been an ehero of mine.  Josh Frost has been a very generous and supportive mentor to me and I want to publicly acknowledge and thank him for that. Thank you JFrost! When JFrost offed himself, I panicked and abandoned an article on eRepublik's lack of redheaded hotties (a topic dear to my heart that I have yet to revisit), and posted an an urgent plea to the eUSA and my fellow Feds to shift course and save my hero.  Happily fingerguns was able to utilize the Power of Dio, and rezombify my fallen hero.  So lastly thank you to fingerguns and Jude Conners for bringing us the zombie cat!


We just elected BigCdizzle, as the Federalist PP.  This will I think be the start of a major shift in the Feds and in the eUSA.  In my last article  I celebrated the lopsided results of the CP election.  I believe that big things are on the horizon.  I also believe these changes will be spearheaded by the Federalist Party.  Mark my words the second half of 2013 will be dominated by the Feds.


Shifting gears a tad.  Let's be honest UNITY blows.  It is my personal opinion that UNITY drives many voters and ecitizens right into the AFA and the arms of RGR.  We have handed him the mantle of the anti establishment candidate, he can claim to be the only real alternative to what the powers that be offer to the citizenry.  We have legitimized the AFA and ceded the moral high ground with the process we are currently using.  Everyone says Ajay is weakening and we need to hold on just a bit longer.  On the contrary I think abolishing UNITY would be the finishing blow to RGR's last vestiges of being the primary internal threat to our nation.


I was planning on finishing this article, with an official request to Jakov for entry into the Best Friends Club.  However this has already been a long article, and something as srs as the Best Friends Club deserves its own article.  For now in conclusion as always:

@Apollo and TB
