Alliances and CP Intentions
Rylde
Oh yeah old school tunes and other things.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYTTxoibfNI
I think the the biggest campaign issue for CP's this election will be the lack of a suitable Allinace. This has been debated to death in congress and as of now no serious headway has been made and were still Neutral-Pro-Eden. Not a horrible position except for the fact were never anyone's priority.
From what I've heard congress may or may not have voted to make us join CoT. At this point I'm leaning towards believing the former as over the holidays I've watched our MPP's with Sweden and Germany disappear without replacement. Could be were setting up for a big jump.
Personally I'm no fan of CoT because there aligned with TWO another anti-EDEN alliance and it means turning on traditional friends and allies. I do believe being slow on deciding an alliance has given us one benefit. We can look how its affected other nations after there decisions.
Mainly I'm talking USA who split from its old alliance and went a new untraditional route. From what I hear things are not all peaches and cream down there since the summer. Many are mad and disgusted with there MPP stack and notable citizens have moved on to pro-eden countries. They have become quite split and divided.
I know most nations have there rivalries and splits are common but not usually in wartime as thats the one tie that binds us. Were walking a fine line of possible division and disaster. Come on guys isn't politics enough. I suggest giving this a read.
An article by a long time well respected Canadian who decided to give USA a try.

I could easily see this becoming us after such a drastic alliance switch. Personally I don't want to be shooting Portugese, Germans and my comrades in Russia.
As I read that article I noticed a comment from the Irish CP and was surprised it said you should consider joining Asgarde. What???
I said to myself.
Asgarde?
Last I heard Ireland was considering CoT because of Bulgaria since they left EDEN. Low and behold I read this article by the Irish CP.Very informative about the current climate of alliances
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-cp-alliances1-2181850/1/20
I was surprised because this guy mirrored my exact thoughts on the alliance issue I had a month ago. Its like something I would almost copy paste because I could never match the article or say it better myself.
Everyone knows I'm a fan of Sweden and Asgarde but this guy says it best. A close knit alliance a family. I'd like going into war with allied brother nations always knowing no matter what the odds were a few out there will have my back as a priority and us the same for them.
I want a tight relationship with an alliance where all members are heard and respected. Something to take pride and be proud of.something worth fighting for and breathing some life into a game thats fading.
CP Intention
I intend to run for CP and the first order of business will be to take on the alliance issue. I plan on doing it respectfully and honorably. The country knows where I stand but it shouldn't be up to one man as CP or even 40 as congressmen. This issue has to be decided as a country tto see how we start the new year.
I come seeking office this time not as a warmonger but as a man willing to put in the time to be a builder.
I will hold a Canadian referendum as I've saw done in Ireland to make our decision. The actives of the nation will choose the future of this nations alliance.
I have nothing bad to say about the last few administrations because I think many see them for what they have been so there's no need to. I for one and I'm sure I'm not alone am just not happy with the dwindling MPP stack and leadership of the country as of late. I'm active know the job and keep people informed with no BS.
I believe I can lead us through this process. Someone with balls not scared to force the issue or make a decision is needed. We've waited long enough as it is.
So the choice is yours Canada.

Asgard certainly is interesting. It would be interesting if they started expanded, but I don't know how willing they are to do so. They are a friendly regional group and certainly always need help in the eternal struggle between them and the former ABC nations.
Good luck with the election!

Hmmmm. Never thought I'd see an article from Rylde which would give me a reason to consider supporting him.
Now I have.
If we presented the idea of Asgard being a pan - Arctic alliance (Sweden, Finland, Ireland, us and Russia).... would that help with convincing them to expand? Not sure that Russia would want to join, though.
Hey nice to see that you did saw my article.
The situation is quite complicated and dire I would say, one thing is for sure thought. A complete turn around in alliances does leave some scars and no country get go throught the process without any damage.
Asgard would be quite a good choice, if they are willing to expand. But I do believe that a good government genuinely wishing to help them out would be able to make the first step towards membership.
Good luck eCan!
Well said!
Rylde the Nation builder based on consensus? A brief moment of sobriety or has his account been hacked?
Good stuff.
Yes, the template is that Asgard become like CoT with alliances with EDEN much like CoT has alliances with TWO. The difference is that we can retain strategic alliances or NAP's with CoT/TWO countries on a local level.
My 2c
Good luck

I'm glad to hear something from this coming from eCanada.
Ireland and Canada would stay friends no matter what, but it would be a lot better if we share alliance aswell. 🙂

Indeed.
Now that's out of the way, this Asgard thing is intriguing. I believe you have the best interests of the Nation at heart. I can easily back you as a CP. We need a new alliance before the music stops and all the chairs get filled. Is is Asgard or CoT? I'm not sure but I know you will help us choose wisely.

no boobs, no vote
Oh god not again.
Not that I wouldn't vote for you if no other suitable candidate came up.... but I'm still wary.
Audentes fortuna iuvat!
good luck and hail the MDP o7
i have always been a big fan of asgard myself i thing we have common interests and that it would be something to definitely consider
Asgsard, why not. They seem to have the same inclinations as we do with other allies. Better to give something safe and interesting a shot rather than wait around for the other shoe to drop.
should be good as long as you don't rage quit this time as CP
A RL priority came up and I don't and never will regret the decision. it was far from a rage quit though. I rage war if anything.
Rylde 4 CP!
Poland walked over Asgsard almost as quickly as they walked over us. Not exactly a power house union, but if they are in the expansion mood it might get better. Not many alternatives out there.

Asgard for alliance!
Why not?
This I like to see ^.^
CoT isn't a bad choice, but we have too many allies that are against CoT nations, and we'd end up being split between players willing to go to CoT and players still loyal to EDEN and pro-EDEN nations.
Asgard, while not a powerhouse alliance, is very trustworthy and reliable, and we have our good friends Sweden and Finland there to welcome us, and perhaps Ireland as well if they will it.
While CoT certainly provides more of a punch, Asgard is the better choice since most if not all players in eCan will willingly fight for Sweden and Finland, and we can expect as much support as possible from the Swedes and Finns. Do we like Bulgaria? Sure. But do we like the other CoT members? Ehhh not so much.
Asgard is a great choice.
This is good stuff as long as you take your pills daily so you don't mess up the country again.
Mess up the country lol. USA left our alliance of friends don't forget and before that it was hard fought standstill wars vs Poland and spain that we fought to draws. Granted I left the second term with 2 weeks left but it happened and at the time was unavoidable with RL issues.
I'm in for the long haul and believe in a plan for the nation whether its Asgarde or not its up to the country and a referendum.
I like the idea of sticking loyal to old friends while achieving a close knit brotherhood of allies.

Asgard would be the best.
I have no intentions on turning on former allys. But Asgard we still stay in the same sphere but get to keep friendships we have with nations.
good luck : 3
Rylde 4 CP!
Canada in Asgsard?
Why not!
Has anyone actually contacted Asgard?
Or are you just assuming you could join the alliance?
Asgard should change the name to NPA - North Pole Alliance
NPA - Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia, Canada
This is a great idea and I for one, am going to support Rylde for CP
Peaches and cream in the eUSA has not been that way for a long time.
I am here in eCanada now.
Rylde not making an ass of himself.... What?!?
voted and subs
send something : (
Didn't we have a bunch of votes or referendums on the alliances we wanted to be in when EPD was CP?
Seems to me, that when we have a referendum or vote, if the next person doesn't like the results heck, have another referendum.
As your next CP, I plan on creating the Canadian Empire Alliance or NAMBLA.
I wasn't really around for EPD's term so I wouldn't know. I care less about the results and more about just getting it done.
