[CP Announcement] Want UNITY? You can have it.

Day 1,802, 04:13 • Published in Australia Australia • by Ranger Bob

Dear eAustralia

I have been quietly observing for a while. It is not I am inactive - I have lurked, I have waited and I have very much found wanting the one thing we ACTUALLY NEED as a community.

There have been many a folk who have offered it, but politics gets in the way.

I hereby announce, I intend to message ALL PPs tonight offering my services as CP for the Month of November.

What will I promise? Well, this is a short and succinct platform.

Under my tenure as CP previously, I promised a government with no regard to party politics. I will retain this view, with a few caveats. I will run with what I believe is an option for a way forward. NOT deal doing, NOT bending over. This is about our COUNTRY.

1. The Military of Australia: Be it a Military Unit, be it ADF, you fight for OUR COUNTRY. You fight for our freedom. That's it. There is no middle ground with it. At the moment we fight internally - all I can offer is I will contact all MUs I know from other countries and ride them hard so they understand fighting for us will mean we will return the faviour.

I believe in the notion of the ADF - as a point whereby we rally, across ALL military units. I honestly do not give a flying where you are from and what you do so long as you fight for the interests of eAustralia. I will ensure there is still an ADF as a unit that funds across anyone fighting for eAus - that is it's purpose. This is NOT about double dipping, tripple dipping or sheep dip. This IS about hitting for us and hitting hard. Sheesh people that is how the mechanics works, and that is the nature of the game.
Everything else is window dressing.

Our current Defence team gets that. So they should run it that way without fear of having to trip over themselves every 5 minutes.

Let us stop overcomplicating something simple.

2. Foreign Alliances? Our primary interest is in gaining our territories back. I don't care if I end up with 2, 3, or 4 at the end of a term run by me. But it will NEVER be on my watch a compromise that we accept a deal that means our total 7 regions are compromised.

Why would I agree to that where we have seen so many times in the past we get 1 or 2, the CP at the time says yeah great, and then the deal changes and we lose it? In the end, I want a REAL term here, where you, the people, actually understand and see what is going on. No curtain, full transparency.

I am not looking to bullshit you, as I have no personal interest in gaining another medal. I just want to help our country.

I am not going to promise all 7 at the end of this term. Why? Because if I did, then simply the mechanics of the game dictates we may always end up behind. What I do promise, is we will fight, and not roll over.

To that end, we will need to do 2 things. Have people fight for other countries. Fight for us here. And, build the community of fighters who will want to play.

I do not intend to spend all our money. But yes I will be proposing means by which to spend money to improve our active population, through the one thing we have that defines us. Hope.

3. At the moment we have no real economy. Again, we should not spend our holdings to the point of not thinking long term. But we should also not be conservative to the point whereby we just sit on our dosh and gold for another month. This means picking WHERE and WHEN to spend, and WHERE and WHEN to save. I want to have the war council back, assuming we have no senate, of publicly elected people to hold the purse strings in this regard.

I will be proposing changes to the constitution and the Senate in forum to cover the unique situation we find ourselves in. I think a NES does not work, but I do think a group of people nominated via each party can offer this and at least mean CP is not a dictator.

That is it from me. I hope to be your CP next month. I am grumpy about the state of affairs in eAus and I will bust a gut trying to help fix them and win us back. Or at the least the honor of our community.
