Join the new world

Part 2 of my Interviews series is with the Sheppard of the cheeseburger herd Addy Lawrence.

Caution Addy is a blowhard that talks alot proceed with caution. Contents may be extremly boring.

Rylde- Alot of this crap will be controversial and I'm hoping for as many bs answers and no comments as possible

Addy_Lawrence- lol, i'll try

Rylde- I will also be avoiding economics as much as possible as you've been shovin that crap down our throats for a few months now.

Rylde- Knock Knock
Addy- Who's there?
Rylde-KGB
Addy-KGB Who?
Rylde slaps Addy "Ve Vill ask the question"


Rylde- So whats your relationship With Janos_leinport and whats your opinion on whats been happening to DAL

Addy_Lawrence- I have no official relationship with Janos. I first came into contact with him when he chewed my ass over running Alastar for congress. I don't pick sides in what's going on at DAL. Maybe Dominik is "right", maybe Janos is, i don't know enough of the story.

I do sense that there are two distinct groups over there and they are in a power struggle, obviously and Janos has the upperhand at the moment because he's in-game PP. It will sort itself out this term because each camp will run PP again, or one of the camps will walk.

Janos wanted to know if he and some of his cronies could join MOO I didn't have a problem with that, particularly because Tem is one of the peeps in his camp and I trust Tem.

The Answer Rylde was hoping for
Yeah I sent MOO members over to DAL with the goal of destroying DAL one of my political opponents that TEMujinBC another one of my ass kissers had trouble bringing under my direct control. Jobs done they will be returning at terms end as Hero's. MOOOOOOOOOO.

Rylde- If it was me I might be a little concerned if a rogue group of players were walking around supporting me while systematically destroying a large, old respectable party shouting MOO all the time. Seems like perhaps you could use there respect for you and tell em to grow up. Ignorance is still a side picked

Addy_Lawrence- That isn't a question. Dumbass 🙂

Rylde- Opinion on the statement then. Seems you could be doing something about it as they seem to be supporters of yours.

Addy_Lawrence- Rogue is relative, IMO, they aren't rogue if they are holding the in-game power. By definition, Dominik would be the rogue group the issue, as i understand it, is that the ingame power is in conflict.

With the forum admin power this issue arose in the CPF once and we moved the forum so that we could align in-game power with forum power. If you have a conflict of power like that, then you don't have a democratic unit, you have something else, a dictatorship or hostage situation i could do something about it, i could support one camp for pp election next month, but that is not my place.

Janos' camp is representing that they are aligned with MOO policy, and they are the in-game holders of power, why not collaborate with them?

Rylde-It is an oppurtunity for sure

The Answer Rylde was hoping for
Stupid f***in question Rylde. My plan has been carried out to perfection and you don't give mercy to an enemy. DAL has failed me for the last time.



Rylde- So I guess you could say you totally mishandled the Alastar situation and made an enemy of myself telling me one thing in secret and doing another in public. Regrets?

Addy_Lawrence- Yes. I regret putting myself in that situation. I have since come to learn that Alastar has left the game and that Rolo has been using his account.

I bought the goods that "Alastar" was selling, that he wanted to reform, and I gave him a shot. The real alastar is a good shit, hard worker, and I liked his politics, so in a way I wanted to believe this was true. I gave him my word to run him for congress before I factored in all of the political implications of running him.

I wagered a lot of MOO's political capital, and lost some. I made it worse by succumbing to some peer pressure and i devised a plan to cock-block Alastar on election night.

Then I told that to a select group of people, including yourself and put myself into an even DEEPER moral dilemma. It was like high school all over again. In the end, I stuck with my original word, confessed to the lie to you, and got burned by Alastar/Rolo in the end, which, as it all turns out, I deserved.

I regret saying yes to Alastar, that is the root of this story

Rylde- I probably could have forgiven and respected a good old fashioned f*** you in terms of Alastar instead of your flip flop BS.

The Answer Rylde was hoping for
I honestly made that deal with Alastar to keep them hush on my inner connections to project Mayhem. They blackmailed me and I took it all.



Rylde There's alot of Anti MOO crap floating around what do u attribute that to.

Lines 1-19 DELETED
Addy_Lawrence- The anti MOO doesn't bother me.

Sorry Addy I totally hacked down the 20 or so lines here to the one that sounded like the least BS. I chose wisely and made you appear more intelligent in the process.



Rylde So with your new plans for military tax cuts don't you think CAF should be stabilized and made more self suffecient first.

Addy_Lawrence- first off, my tax cuts aren't deep, I've explained this in an article, there is actually an upside if we have four or less MPPs.

As for getting the CAF to be stabilized,they are stable now they work hard to establish stability when there is a steady stream of theft in the government.

I am confident that if they are told weekly what their alotment will be, that they will manage it and smooth it out they seem to be pretty good at maintaining a nest egg or emergency fund to deal with cyclicality and that is a good thing as for self-sufficiency, admin is steering each of us to this, it is up to us to help each become self sufficient. T

he future is going to be more about co-ordination of effort than redistributing money and supplies. If the goal was to make the CAF self-sufficient, going cold turkey with a drastic cut to funding would push them into a scenario where they had to be self-sufficient to get by so i would stand by this method



Rylde- Your answers are long ya blowhard

Addy_Lawrence- 😃

Rylde Have you heard of MOOicide and do you know what it entails?

Addy_Lawrence MOOicide is when you tip over a cow and mount it from behind, screaming out Dominik's name, over and over

Rylde Not quite what MDP high ups had in mind. It was a plan outlined to destroy MOO.

Addy_Lawrence- If the cow answers back, "Scorpious killed MOO", then you have to keep going. You can't destroy MOO



Rylde- So if you were an odds man whats your odds of takin down Wacko Jacko

Addy_Lawrence- odds of taking down wacko jacko. I'm thinking 55/45 in favour of me. I had a better shot last month, i should have challenged kaz for the MOO nomination, timing was better for me.

Jacobi misplayed the government assets card giving all the assets to the speaker and making congress hold the bag. Congress elected a speaker to manage ODC and CDC, not to manage the PW to the gov't orgs. Had I know this was going to happen

I would have petitioned even HARDER for fram not once during the election of the speaker did this custodian of orgs come up as a responsiblity.

This will cost Jacobi. I do like the idea that I'm up against a titan, a seven time CP, this is good. I don't like having something handed to me, i enjoy going through the process of "earning" it.



Rylde So why the sudden flip flop of 20% VAT that you had pushed through to now wanting 10%. Seems the dollar has suffered a worse plight. Damn economics. Wake me when your done.

Addy_Lawrence Originally, MOO wanted to move from income tax centric to VAT centric and proposed 1% income and 10% VAT. This was about to become a reality when Wes stole money. VAT was increased to 20% for two reasons, first to raise money to recover from the theft two to increase the velocity of money and strengthen the CAD.

There is a third reason VAT also captured revenue from admin purchase bots who were using fake CAD. Presently the admin purchase bots are gone and people still steal money so we are at the 'f*** it" point and going back to 10%, let the government sweat it out and live off of that, as a taxpayer, this is the fourth misappropriation of funds in less than a year.

We are talking over 10,000 in gold in these four incidents enough is enough as for the dollar there are too many variables changing to say that the "velocity of money" strategies have failed.

You can't point to any control environment that shows that it failed, nor that it passed the theory is sound, I think it helped admin's fire sale on upgrades has pushed gold from $115 to $150, that has nothing to do with tax policy or monetary policy. But I am confident that my critics will frame it that way as you have done in your question and Jacobi has done in the "comments campaign"

Rylde- May I edit your answer to I don't know what the hell I'm doing and I just pull tax figures out of a hat?

Addy_Lawrence- Give 'er s*** Rylde, i'm sure most readers will skip anyways.

Totally almost just deleted this whole economics section but I can't try to burn him the whole time without him gettin something outta it.



Rylde- Whats your connection to project Mayhem?

Addy_Lawrence- I was invited to #secrets. I was pitched by jbdivinus and emerick, from the US Rolo was in the room too, just the four of us. Rolo and I were PP's at the time they wanted our parties support and in exchange
we would get seats at their table, their high command or whatever

I had previously been jb'd at the CPF so I didn't want to say "f*** off". I was pm'ing rolo and he was of the same opinion, we just didn't want to get PTO'd by these f***ers.

Emerick is every connected. So is JB you don't want to be enemies and you don't want to be their biatches. You try to walk the line the way it was left, we would think about it. Unfortunately for Rolo he was in the middle of a CP campaign and my theory is that he was seduced by the political support they had to offer and he took their bait.

Rylde- Well were done and thats alot of S*** not that i believe half the crap up there but thats just me.

Addy_Lawrence some day i would like to buy you a beer you are one of the few peeps i'd like to meet.

Rylde- you can't buy an indian just one you fool,thats a slap in the face on my reservation. Go promote oversea's war and make canada expansionist and then u win back my respect. tTill then MOOicide is still in play.

Addy_Lawrence- maybe i'll surprise you



FRREEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOMM.
