[Seanan4CP] Becoming the Military Candidate
Seanan
War. War never changes.
The core feature of this game is the ability to attack and conqueror other nations, obtaining resources and/or denying your rivals economic and political features. The military module is my personal greatest enjoy; intense battles require dedication, smarts and energy. They will keep you on the edge of your seat, and end with great satisfaction or overpowering disappointment.
While the Admins have (putting it nicely) dumb'd down the military module since I've started playing and made most non-paying players spectators rather than combatants, when nations of high caliber meet on the battlefield with victory down to a point or a division... nothing beats a good fight.
The Military Candidate
• Lets have a war!
But who to choose? Our neighbours are the immediate options... United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Argentina (well, before Poland pushes them out). We'll talk about the Airstrike later, lets focus on the immediate options.
The most common and repetitive suggestion is... Attack the United Kingdom. And I ask... Will attacking a country which has two other nations hitting it sound like two high caliber nations meeting on the battlefield in a glorious well-pitched battle live up to a good fight? Or does it sound like sloppy seconds / kicking a wounded animal?
The UK are our rivals, we've completed with each other on and off the battlefield for most of our history together - and will continue to compete with. However, at the moment, attacking them wouldn't be brave or show our prowess... it'd just be derpy.
The same reason that attacking the United States is off the table, the UK share Mutual Protection Packs with us. If we attack either the US or the UK, we will lose our MPP stacks and that will mean either 1) Getting our butt whoooooooped in nothing resembling a closely fought fight and losing our allies or 2) Signing with LETO and Asteria hence betraying our allies. And under my administration, I will not backdoor the country into an enemy alliance.
That leaves Canada or Argentina for an immediate war options.
I have contacted the CP candidates of Canada and proposed WAR GAMES and none of the candidates are against the idea (although obviously wanna discuss more after elections); A War Game isn't the same as a Training War, the objective is to wipe your enemy. If Canada agrees, both nations will try to wipe eachother hence win the War Game. The game continues til one nations is wiped, surrenders or ceasefire needed if either nation's Congress is threatened nearing the 25th.
As something we have never done before and with a nation who we like (and have similar strength), pursuing this would shake up our community and bring some sorely needed banter-filled fun. Invasion of the Canucks would certainly keep us buzzing (who really wears the pants in our relationship?) whilst we look for strategically significant targets via Airstrike.
Not mentioned Argentina, because Poland will probably remove them from the UK before we elected a new CP ;__;
Why hellooooo Ottawa...
The Domestic policies...
• Funding an Airstrike!
Quite frankly, these are expensive and if we are going to have one... we need a good target and a heavy war chest to make it successful.
My Roadmap
1) Ask Aurora HQ if there is any Theatre of War an airstrike from Ireland could be useful to alliance strategy.
2) If not, lobby until there is.
3) Present options to the Community and poll which target to select (probably keep results on the down low if you know what I mean).
4) Raise Funds - by direct appeals to citizens for donations, enlist the Ministry of Community to run games designed to raise funds, approach international benefactors who might benefit from our airstrike and keep up the pressure to get an Airstrike for this term or next.
5) Use the wealth generated by the recent tournaments in our Military Units to fund Combat Orders, but also explore post-funding airstrike, our weapons stocks to access our supplying capability.
• Nationalization of the State Commune!
Currently, part of the gains the Ministry of Finance obtains via Monetary Market fishing subsidizes the Irish Army & Bootcamp Supply System. The system has grown to be the largest and diverse commune system in the country with nearly 50 workers - and through the dedication of James Keiller upgrading his companies for State use, donors and volunteer workers - the system has not overburnened the State.
This was my original proposal.
By including other Irish commune systems into the fold, the activity of the Ministry of Finance will be felt by a greater number of citizens and promote military cohesion, providing there are proper checks and balances. Such a system will require cooperation with non-State military units, but even citizens out-side commune based Military Units will be able to benefit if gadgets like Pulse or Screenshots of following orders are utilized.
War is coming, Ireland.
Sweat more in training, bleed less in battle.
I am the Military Candidate.

the plagiarism, is too important at that point. the satyre is overwhelmed
i think you can propose more than a copy. it's a little unfair in my opinion.
my vote anyway 🙂
Not sure I copied "1) Attack UK, 2) ???, 3) Profit", Cry 😛 Mines got Canada, State Commune and an Airstrike. Much more imaginative!.. least in my opinion.
one day too late to be imaginative mate.
what i propose is imaginative, upon a common and historic basis.
i didn't see any candidacy based on what i proposed. and you propose the same just one day after.
well, was fun if it was really a satyre, but you are officially candidate and you continue in this line.
btw, how can you propose a revolution? the joke ! you're in place in government since months and all your friends too.
i am french and i can say clearly that it's not a revolution but a manipulation and recuperation. 🙂
i think you could propose better than a plagiarism, that's all. t
he lobby will be with you, whatever you propose, we all know that. i was not candidate to win, i wanted to propose some fun, counter the habbit of politics here, and see what happened.
and what i see from you is gives me answers.
so i have to make an article, see ya 😉
Released my candidacy few hours after you, bro 😛 Calm your tits. I'm a recent graduate, July is my free month but then I'm kinda busy... so I do want some action before I work. Ain't nothing to do with you.
I take imaginative as thinking out-side the box... rather than common or historical reasons. Training war with Canada I did in my first CP term. State Commune I proposed like two months ago. And I kept saying I want to Airstrike Thailand since South Korea... I'm sorry but really chill bro 😛 My platform predates you.
The Satire was using images from the Movie "The Dictator" with a liberation/revolutionary style... i.e. like an actual Junta would and Sacha does in the movie...
Run ya campaign cleanly, merit > politics.
be clean --> so be more polite please thank you in advance 🙂
I for one, am shocked Seanan.
For our career Military Minister, and omnipresent State Commune Manager to suddenly flip-flop like this and start supporting military engagement and state communes is a real betrayal of our trust.
@Cry... your welcome?
@Sweets you burn me deep ;__;
Voted!
Seanan...brits kicked your MoD butt for half a year when they invaded last time.
They scared you so much you didnt dare even to return a region that was given back to us.
Can your butt handle another kick?
And nice job stealing Banshee's CP manifesto about going to war...
"stealing Banshee's CP manifesto about going to war..."
I didn't realize we were calling dibs on the war module. My deepest apologies!
My apologies Seanan ..i failed to make myself clear...
Its about you being totally incompetent for any form of a war...
6 months of british invasion and you as MoD won zero battles.
Brits give us back 4 regions you take 3...
Why you make highest point of your manifesto something you do worst then a bot or two clicker would do?
>stealing Banshee's manifesto while the clown wanted to drain the vault.
thats the general idea vik its not about war its about losing war and having regions she sold off under constant occupation.
Say No to Seanans region loan. Ireland is for the Irish no to regions swaps no to losing our regions deliberately in a war. No to Seanan.
Voted! Sweat more, Bleed less. o7
War game sounds like fun
Voted!
Voted. Thanks for the mention. Proud to serve. o7
Airstrike is a good option if we attack a country our ranking .
But we need funds.
Voted o7
After the way you single handily came second in Division 3 during the Tournament... have you not got a few dimes to lend me? 😛
Seriously, you're a monster o7
Ofc, I'll give you as much as you need 🙂
I like the thinking outside the box with the war games with Canada o/
I'd point out that a war game with the Argies would require we trust them to actually leave once it was over. That is not something I would be likely to do.
Agreed
Cool.

Training war... I'm in!
Good Luck!
HOLD IT ONE SEC.... why are Ducks now off the agenda?
A difference of a pinion.
Fowl play.
Eider answer fits the bill.
You quack me up James.
It got everybody down.
let me inform everyone alreadywhy is seanan running for cp as well as discussing the wargame i can say already she will do everything in her power to lose the game and keep our regions occupied for a long term as she probably already has a deal profiting herself cooked up with the canadians.
and by the mere fact that noginhas been in a canadian Mu since she "returned " to ireland its easy to see who her partners is.
Voted!
Voted for war o7
You could not becoming CP soon enough...
Great article. Very good idea on Canada. It is the job of the CP to make the game interesting for a month and you got a plan to do it. Not sure you are going to get a lot more people to sign up to your commune, but best of luck.
One small thing I do not agree with. When Ireland has over 2 million in treasury, I think it is wrong to ask the players to pay for an airstrike.
Good Luck.
voted dictator 🙂
Need to eat some british girls : (
