A platform of hard truth and common sense

The worst kept lie

Long have I hear😛 We want active people in Congress. We want more people to be active and participate.

That's a lie.

Imagine you built your own home and you get everything just the way you want it. Do you want a mob of noisy strangers coming into your home, moving your furniture around, changing your cable package, ruining the butt groove you've carefully crafted in your favorite chair.

Hell no.

You want your friends over to have a nice little agreeable gathering. To compliment you on your furniture, maybe join in on a friendly circle jerk and then leave so you can enjoy your home the way you want to.

That's the eCanada congress forum. Players that don't want a bunch of strangers coming in and telling them what to do. They want 39 of their good buddies nodding in perfect agreement, telling them they are doing great, followed by a generous butt massage with full and pouty lips.

The greatest and sadist point of all this is, those deeply involved in the hypocritical farce claim they don't understand why new active players have absolutely no desire to participate in the eCanada forums. Instead 5 gold grabbing "inactive" players snatch up the open spots laughing at the joke of it all while the spend their days with family and friends in happy healthy normal lives. Damn two-clickers.



A toxic environment of exclusion and favoritism festers and they truly wonder why only inactive gold seeking players seek Congress. Really? No, not really. They know.

The CPF and MDP run the country, you're just allowed to play here. And by play, they mean pay taxes. They don't want you in Congress. The more of you new players that show up, the greater the chance you will witness a simple and profound truth:

The eCanada Congres forum is completely irrelevant to eRepublik game play governance.



A house of cards

“If you want to know who's in charge, look to those you aren't allowed to question.”

The eCanada forum congress is a hall of shadows. An illusionary system created as a barrier to you taking controlling authoritative power from them. The ruling elite need you to believe that governance can ONLY be held in THEIR house.

At his exact moment, 4 out of 12 posts to the Open Door Congress are dedicated to the punishment of players who did not bend to that authority. Their authority. Their completely self manufactured authority.

So at this moment over 30% of matters before eCanada Congress doesn't have a single thing to do with the governance of eCanada. And the post in the forum with the most discussion? The blacklisting of a player from Congress.

While the gold reserve goes ignored. While private citizens have to pay our bills. Don't worry, they are right on top of who is and isn't allowed in the pillow fort.



The recycled politicians

Same old, same old. Wonder why the game is stale. The same bunch of people have been in government for years. Like Alzheimer patients, they can't even remember why they're there or how to do it differently.

The new player terrifies them. You could do ANYTHING! That can't happen. Not in their house. Not against their rules. You might change the tax rate. You might promote new alliances. SWEET LORD, you might not use the forum and expose their system as the fossilized senior citizen home that it is!

Well you may see encouraging new players and new ideas as keeping the game refreshed and interesting, they do not.

Foxfire for Congress

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats. - H. L. Mencken

When last I left eCanada congress, it was a demented cesspool of egotism, spamming, trolling and near LARPing-like political fantasy land on acid. It was a place where common sense was left at the door and those that should be seeking high powered medications choose to entertain their personal demons publicly. I had about as much interest in return to Congress as I do catching a fatal dose of gonorrhea.

So why on earth would I be running to join congress again?

Recently groups typically held in the minority had the audacity to join together to have their voices heard. As expected, this was met with hostility and ridicule from the existing elite. Yet, those that have chosen this impossible endeavor to have all voices heard deserve as close a fair shot that they can get.

For that reason, I have offered to sign up for Congress and assist with whatever skills I bring to the table. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now... never mind.



The other side of the rainbow

The only time I've seen anything close to what Congress should be, is when we are under attack. Everyone forgets their differences and works together towards a true common good. It is inspiring and that inspiration is contagious. That's what Congress should be all the time. A place of mutual respect and benefit that inspires all other Canadians to do the same.

This tasks appears to be too much of a challenge to those that hold power and claim "leadership".

The status quo is now alienating players, creating a toxic playing environment and basically diminishing the respect towards those that wish to soil themselves in such matters.

VISAs, not teamwork. Witch hunts, not conversations. Exclusion, not invitation. This is the eCanada congress forum and it is as responsible for the slow death of the active eCanada player population as the indifference Plato shows towards it's players.
