I can't speak for some of the other new guys, but if it was me you were betting on you would lose that bet.

I don't understand this hostility towards new people, but it seems to me that if nobody new tried to join your cliquish game then number of people that leave over time would cause the game to eventually fall apart because of a lack of people.  I have been a member of this site since April and just decided to pop on over here and check out this sub-forum.  The Populares seemed the best fit for my political views so I joined them.  Besides, a friend of mine from another forum, Zacoftheaxes, is also a Populare. 

Yes the Populare leadership did suggest I run for the SE Legislature and I thought "sure, why not?"  I guess because I'm just a paper candidate and a Hamilton sock I don't have a chance.  Maybe I ought to go back alternatehistory.com.

I'm happy to have you here, and I have nothing against newbies. My only issue is that alot of people like to recruit newbies from anywhere they can to beef up their numbers and win everything, not because they deserve to, but because they essentially stuffed the voter rolls.

It's also a big problem sometimes because there are huge and longstanding systemic issues Atlasia needs to solve to fix itself. It's really difficult to change the game when new people who don't really have a historical perspective on Atlasia and have nothing in which to view the proposed changes to the game. This often leads to the party bosses dictating to the newbies and newly added footsoldiers to vote against the changes without having a proper understanding.

I'll happily give you the benefit of the doubt, I just ask that you, and other people new to Atlasia, try to keep their minds open and learn things for themselves, instead of letting the party leaders use you for their own gain.

Certainly.

To be fair, I was accused of being a sock when I first joined. Wink

You'll never let me live that down, will you Barnes? Tongue

Please, I didn't even know what you were talking about when you said it.

I just meant that "sock paranoia" (which I suffer from myself Wink) is used against any newbie. Not matter what party they join.

So, I have questions:

1. When can I run for something?
2. What region is Pennsylvania in?

1. I beleive you can immediately run for a position in your region, when an election rolls around. Look here for more info: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=135375.0
2. Pennsylvania is in the Northeast.

Meh, I figured out last time that I rejoined that being an ind can get kind of lonely.
