All Hail Rylde As Your New God.
Xander Kross
Ladies and gentlemen, it is rare that I make a post that is mostly praise. But I feel in this case that it is warranted. Our Country President has been on fire lately. He identifies himself thusly:
However, with his shrewd guerilla tactics and clever outmanoeuvering of the hated eUSA, allowing our re-taking of New Brunswick, I see him now as this:
Alexander the Great was indeed a fine leader and world-conqueror. But he had a massive Hellenic army capable of sweeping conquest from the Mediterranean coasts of Europe all the way to the far side of India. John "Hannibal" Smith, on the other hand, was a commando - a strategist who worked with a small team using guerilla tactics, sharp wits and raw gumption to defeat enemies that were vastly more powerful than he and his A-Team.
Yesterday's glorious battle occurred after several rounds of fundraising, including a "Top 100" contest that was totally not a lottery. Having analyzed the donations, I have noticed some interesting statistics.
First, my sources:
Article 1: Military Patience
Article 2: Building Reserves and MPP's
Article 3: Rylde's Top 100
I compiled a list of all the names mentioned in these posts, including the political parties to which they belonged and the amounts donated.
Current ranking, based on 3 articles:
1. Military Dictatorship Party: CAD $35,000
2. Canadian Progressive Front: CAD $26,000
3. Muppet Party: CAD $23,000
4. Rolo's Horse House & Canadian Conservative Party (tied): CAD $17,000 each
5. No party affiliation/small party: CAD $10,000
6. Partie Francophone Canadien: CAD $7,000
7. Foreign players: CAD $6,000
8. Enemy players*: CAD $1,000
* Code-Y is a US citizen who bought a Top 100 ticket to fund the war on his own country.
These numbers are not exact - many players donated in "69's," which I rounded up or down to the nearest 1000. Another fellow from Rolo's Horse House donated 6.9 gold, which is also not included in the CAD values listed here.
Phat Stax of.. HEY THERE'S A $2 IN THERE!
I encourage the skeptics among you to double-check my findings, using the same resources. I am willing to be proven wrong if you feel your party has been misrepresented here.
Clearly, though, according to these findings, the Military Dictatorship Party is the most financially-committed to aiding Canada's war effort. No one is saying that patriotism can be measured in dollar amounts, but it is clear that the smaller parties are giving much of themselves in the war effort.
Bravo to all who donated, and to all who continue to fight against our oppressors.

You forget those in all parties that make private/personal donations.
Good article though. o7
I also did not include any donations Rylde himself may have made without announcing the numbers. Private/personal donations likely count for more, but they also likely follow the same patterns - i.e. the ones who give keep on giving.
Rylde aka Alex to tha G aka Hannibal has been on a roll for sure and it makes sense to put the laurels on MDP, too.
But since I have nothing helpful to add except to unskeptically agree with you, there's this silly poll to share:

View Poll Results:
Who would win - Hannibal vs Alexander The Great
Hannibal: 70 votes
Alexander: 69 votes
Some eCanadians would still argue that Alex won that poll, eh. Good thing we have both on our side.
This poll refers to the historic Carthaginian general Hannibal, who fought against Rome and crossed the Alps with his elephants. That Hannibal was also a strategic genius.
I believe Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith could take either of them in a one-on-one street fight.
...and then serve them up with a side of fava beans and chianti.
A lottery ticket does not constitute a donation, just ask revenue Canada.
LOL
Donations made to certain fundraisers with "Prizes" are however considered donations 🙂
~hyuu~
I am a Vengeful unforgiving God.
You forgot to add Bold and Relentless
Can I be the skinny little guy?
I think he drove the van and blew shit up.
BA Baracus drove the van. He was neither skinny nor little, but he did blow things up. They all blew things up. You likely mean either Templeton "Faceman" Peck, who was a suave ladies' man and sometimes drove a Corvette, or "Howling Mad" Murdock, who was the crazy pilot with the leather jacket and baseball cap.
Yes, Murdock. Wore the cheesy ball cap all the time and was a bit off. He suits my personality the best I would say.
You can only drive the van if you pity fools.
