Rolo Tahmasee - CP - July 2010 - Platform and VP
Rolo Tahmasee
I am proud to announce that Addy Lawrence has accepted the position of Vice President in my Administration. With Addy's vast knowledge and experience, He will be a tremendous and valuable asset to myself and a benefit to the eCanadian People.
Economic Platform
My economic principles and viewpoints have changed since my first term in congress, and it has a lot to do with the following work done by congressman AR1ARX
http://tinyurl.com/27v345o
http://tinyurl.com/289et59
If any of you have taken the time to read this fantastic analysis and proposal by AR1ARX, It would show you a great basis for economic policy in the Game-Play aspect of erepublik
In short
- It calls for a 60% import tariff to hold from runaway domestic prices (closed economy)
- A level playing field for industry in regards to income taxes
-Government intervention when need be, in the market to quell demand and stabilize prices, via a competition bureau, reviewing key economic indicators
And upcoming in Stage 3, as AR1ARX and I have discussed, a framework for the operational guidelines for Crown Corporations (Ministry of Industries) which will provide detailed goals and expectations of how these businesses are to operate in the domestic and international markets. this is the main framework for my opinion change in reference to tax policies,(I am now very much in favor of a closed economy) it uses the Crown Corporations and Competition Bureau in leau of low import taxes to regulate and provide fair prices to the average eCanadian citizen
In addition, if elected I intend to move forward on the proposal by my Vice President Addy Lawrence of the "Little Man Bonds" This is a bond program for low level citizens to engage in the purchasing of Government bonds for their benefit.
When I was a new citizen, There were War Bonds, which, due to my newness to the game made me think "Shady - no way!, but I would like to grow the confidence in new players of these programs and help them out financially along the way as well
Domestic Platform
This is a platform, where I do not have exact specifics, but more of a policy or idea...
I will attempt to do things rather than not do things, If there is a chance to make the game more interesting, I will generally push for it. I am not in the camp that believes we are here simply to work, train, and then log off. If anything comes across my desk that will allow eCanadians to become more engaged and increase their involvement in the game, expect me to support it
Military Platform
Increased Support for the CAF
Increased Support for Private Militia's
Why do we need these things?
Have you played V2 Beta yet? - Well I have and to be honest, I am so grateful I already have my Battle Hero Medal because it will be my last one. Gone are the days, where an average citizen like me can go in and apply my damage and add to the fight easily and quickly
In the future, we will need DEDICATED soldiers, the ones that can currently be found in the private militias and in the CAF. These battles will need to be co-ordinated and they will have to be done by soldiers willing to spend a lot of time doing their job for the betterment of eCanada, and they will need our support
In regards to the current war with eFrance and the open MPP's, I will say this, I will close this war. If you have heard that somewhere before, then I re-iterate, as CP of eCanada, if a reasonable offer is presented to end the War with eFrance, I will ensure that it ends. If for no other reason than it seems like a complete waste of time and resources.
tl;dr version
Vote for Rolo on July 5th,
more to come..

Rolo can into CP!

Id like to see more funding for CHS and Education to help newbies. With current wages being offered newbies cannot maintain good wellness while working and training, most newboes make minimum wage or close to it, meaning either they dont train or wellness suffers, both are bad for eCanada. Of course this is a V1 problem and we can only wait and see whats gonna happen in V2.
GL Rolo
Increased support for Private militias is seen with a good eye. A more detailled plan is required though, please. Espicially when facing a foreign ecountry holed and incrusted in eCanada soil.

Short is good for the people who want an idea of what each candidate is about, but don't want to spend a lot of time here.
Good luck Rolo!
The greatest challenge in V2 will be the military module. It will require ample education for new and old players alike. Coordinating attacks, choosing skills, buying the right weapon, and learning the dynamics of hex battles are all things we need help with.
The next CP should make it a priority to encourage people to fight and learn the new module. The days of two-clicking to a win may be over so we need to pull together as a team. Rolo's military focus is what we need.
So basically, you are using the same platform I got my asses handed to me for 7 months ago?
It's nice to see eCanadaians coming to their sense.
But I will, for as long as this game lasts, continue to say "I told you so".
Okay I am confused...
Addy is running for CP
Addy is VP to Rolo who is running for CP
Hmmmmm....CEP/CPF....certainly no issue there however it just "feels" odd watching one CP candidate openly declare themselves as VP for another CP candidate...
Maybe its me but its like Obama telling Clinton, sure I will be your VP as well as taking a run at CP...
Some things go together and some things don't...this just feels like it should not be.
At any rate...good luck Rolo, I am sure you will do a great job in taking a run at CP!
Thanks for the input Acacia.
Don't you have a "Ragequitters Anonymous" meeting to get to?
Rolo for Pres! Viva le eCanada!
Mug, I don't know about your definition of rage, but an articulate article stating a temporary step-down from politics isn't exactly what I usually think of.
That being said, shouldn't you be off threatening a CP with impeachment somewhere? 😛
Well Acacia is a classy guy. His rage might demonstrate itself in a more articulate manor than the average player. Who am I to judge?
As for the impeachment threats... Who me? Never!
I may have reminded openly but certainly never threatened. If you took it as such I apologize as that was definitely not my intention.
Good Luck Rolo! You've got great ideas and eCanada would be lucky to have you as CP!
