[ARP] Returning Power to the People.
Daenerys Stormborn Targaryen
People sat back and laughed secure in their positions of power. They thought they could simply contain the Revolution with forum laws and the agenda's of players well passed their prime. Like parents tucking their children into bed they assured their believers that the big bad nasty's would do nothing. They held the key to our society, they held the destiny of eAus in their hands. These wanna be dictators with ancient rules of elitism.
Then came the birth of the ARP. A revolution, they laughed wiping away the amused tears. We have the power, you have nothing. Where is this Revolution? Show us this Revolution.
We met them with silence, not playing into their hands. We had our agenda, our own means to an end, our own solution. It would not be dictated to us when we would strike.
Then came the meetings, in quiet and dark rooms well away from the cancerous leecher on the forums. A plan was hatched and the pieces moved into play.
The Peoples Revolution had begun. The movement swelled, the cries from change came from the weeping tears of mothers, the wailing cries of children. It was time to end the dictatorship, it was time to cast aside memories of the past and openly embrace a new tomorrow.
We have ceased being a passive reactive nation and with the flick of a switch we have become active. We are in control now, we decide when battles are timed, when events are unveiled. All that we have acomplished has been done to fly in the face of those who claim to stick to the old ways.
eAus of old is no more. Forum laws and ridulious rules are gone. No more will we waste weeks on useless senatorial banter that accomplishes nothing.
eAustralia, Winter is Over.
Topic of these last couple of days has been us leaving NaN. Personally I agree with the idealism of such an alliance but it was in execution where NaN ultimately failed.Their need to increase their status by openinly accepting all members is whart crippled them completely. During the initial stages I warned of expanding too fast. I sang the great truth of alliance building lays not in numbers but in foundations. NaN foundations are weak, there is no hope of large nations joining simple because when you bunch a group of super weak nations together they are not an attractive prospect. NaN should have been South Africa and Aus, then we should have tempted nations like Brazil and China. This didn't happen.
As Aus rep to NaN there is not one thing that assures me it is anything more than a delusional pissing contest. The fact is quite simple, the first MPP this Gov signed with Poland will help our nation survive more than the entire NaN alliance.
It is also worth noting that NaN themselves were offered the route we are presently taking, as a whole they denied it. Why should eAus be forced to go down with the sinking ship?
When Xavier Griffiths, one of the founding NaN members tells Mollyjo less than a week into her CP term that eAus should leave NaN, should she not listen?
When Senator Scotty The Nuke raises numbers in senate to leave NaN, should Molly simply ignore the will of the Senators elected by the people? The end vote was 8-1.
THAT IS DEMOCRACY.
Now the present state of play, this is a non spin revelation of what is occuring. (Granted the Gov have not been keeping people informed, since I am neither Cabinet or Government I am under no restrictions to keep information classified.)
We will presently have 2 regions for the up coming Senate elections. That is double any of the past Govermnents for god knows how long and there is the likely hood of more. New Zealand have our back, they will move in and babysit NSW, as they are in Tas leaving Chile with only Victoria. (eviction notices has been filed) Both NZ and Aus are a joint 'applicant' (for lack of a better term) for ACT. This will give TWO access to the Oceania region. We are hoping to talk with our dear friends South Africa in the coming weeks but for the moment it falls to us to take the first step.
Already the tide of would be dictators is raising against the will of the people:
*XG also told NaN to abandon us about a week ago,
about the same time he told Molly Jo our CP to leave NaN.
eAustralia wanted a Revolution, they wanted a change, they demanded change. The ARP are bringing that change and senators from all other parties are in agreement. There was never a way to do this without stepping on toes and we have well and truly set the standard. No longer will we be crippled by the past, by false prophets promising fanciful delusions. No longer will forum laws that have no place in game be used to halter our nations recovery.
This is the Revolution. Are you not Entertained.

Sorry Larni, your a bit confused. The will of 10 Senators in the CPs Cabinet does not make it the "Will of the people", it makes it the will of the new elitists that claim to be removing the old elitists from power.
Same shit, different bucket, but FAR LESS power to the people than before.
Happens every time in a revolution, those trying to change the elitist attitudes "for the people" end up becoming the elitists in the end. Its all a ploy, smoke and mirrors. ARP had it right once, now they have lost their way.
so the people didnt vote in those senators to be their representatives?
maybe you dont know how democracy works XG
Senators elected by the people to speak on their behalf.
10 Senior Cabinet Members elected by the people? When did the game bring that in?
Oh, your talking about the 10 Senators that actually work in the Cabinet. lol...yeah, again, when did the elected into cabinet happen so that there was separation of powers and accountability?
You also told NaN to abandon us about a week ago, you have told Molly Jo about the same time to leave NaN.
I did not vote for ARP so you are not my senators.
I told her to "push the button and come what may" because her own Cabinet had effectively turned against her original wishes. There isn't a single person here who can deny that statement either.
Do I blame Molly for doing it? No.
Have I said anywhere in any of these posts about Molly at all? No.
As lancer quite happily provided to you and Tim in a screen print of a private message I sent to Molly about it, even her own Chief of Staff had sided with the "leave NaN" members of her cabint.
This has nothing to do with Molly, at least not from my perspective.
I'm waiting for my copy right money, maybe I will make an exception for the dragon lady 😃
thank you and I will permit you one "The Dragons are Coming" as payment.
And I will trade this in for you to put a real picture of the storm born as your avatar
If you wanted to give the power to the people, then everything would be in the open. No one even posted an article about leaving NaN. No reasons were given. Congrats on being Auserbia.
Day 1 Fight Strike. I will not fight for TWO
Senate vote was 8-1 I suggest you take it up with whoever you selected to vote on your behalf.
You vote for a party not a person. (random insult)
so you didnt vote your party president? who selects your senators
Oh and the ARP does a vote on which order it votes in its senators, clearly your party isnt. which means the lack of representation is their fault not ours, we simply have the numbers to vote on issues in force
Senators are peoples represenatives. We voted them and 8 out of 10 voted yes. It's quite simple...
@Tim: we did have a vote, yet I do not remember voting to place you on our ballot.
maybe you should reread it, i was definitely there
It definitely wasn't there.
Let me clarify, the election that you somehow got placed on our ballot after just joining the party, there was no primary held.
so you are telling me that when scottty and myself voted for me giving me enough votes to be in 3rd or 4th or whatever it was, was not on the ingame party chat room where the vote was held?
are you telling me the place where i myself voted in it didnt happen?
Pat ran a primary via in game PMs to him. I'd appreciate you not spread slanderous lies about my party.
I'm just saying there was no official primary conducted in the manner that was done so since I first joined the party.
Pat chose to run the vote different, while I didn't completely like the choice, it was his to make.
Well I know I voted in it. Granted it wasn't our usual approach but every PP makes that decision themselves.
Thanks kids, i needed a good chuckle over my corn flakes this morning. You should all speak to Julia and Kev. Masters of the pointless debate.
Xavier I really can't believe you would actually do that to us, I loved NaN and want them safe but it's too late now, they have done it, we are now left with only one choice to go through with it, I wish the decision process lasted longer but it didn't, to ask TWO to veto Australia is certain and complete death for the nation and there would be no road left if we burn all our bridges. Maybe you were angry when you wrote it but you know that the threat would become treason if you acted on it. Don't throw everything away on us now, you cannot contemplate taking it any further, you have friends here but you won't if you kill us, reconsider.
Xavier Griffith Mick Gatto and Henry the 8th for better cp team!!!!
as opposed to the one that removed Chile within two weeks... yep good call.
You have always been good at taking credit for something that is not all your doing.
Chile lost Auckland BEFORE Molly Jo won. The ball was rolling before she was elected. TWO vs CoT has way more to do with this than anything else.
All the back patting is great, but you are not the only one playing the game.
The ball was rolling on a lot of things before Molly was elected.
