What influenced them to join BoL?
A lot of consensus on this one, here is a sample of what was sai😛

I never like Top 5 parties. I visited the forums of a few, saw that the BoL had good qualities and were more than just a party, so I joined.

Wanting to be part of building something up from the ground up. Stayed because the party's values really resonated strongly with me.

Its independent spirit and the fact it was not a corrupted by being a top 5 party.

I joined SoL (then FST) and was encouraged to join BoL to support the interests of the MU politically, even though I wasn't particularly interested in politics.

...I have a voice and my thoughts and ideas were never just generally dismissed because I was new. I like that you can have fun in the forums, the good natured teasing and joking around, the occasional hot babe pic. But when it's time to get down to buisness how people come together, express their ideas, and get things done. How there is always someone around to answer questions and give advice.


What is their opinion of the Party? How would they change it?
Reducing our dependence on other parties...but this requires us to become a top 5 party.

I would like for the BoL to have more of a voice in eUSA issues

We need to grow to top 5

I'd like to repeat what JD did last month in his POTUS bid. We have a real message that AMP/USWP and the others can't match.

I think the party is generally good right now. I mean the members' activity part could always be better, but raising it is really a difficult task to outline and it takes time, since all the actions taken now will reveal results mostly in the far future. Otherwise the core of active people we have right now is good. We have really great people, it is just a matter of expanding them.

"let's keep this totally informal. Let's do our own thing and tell the popularists to suck it. We can build a powerful team if we stick to our anachronistic roots

The only thing I could change is what I have influence over. Since I only have influence over myself, I would become more active within the leadership of the party. To do that I need to become more active on the forums, on IRC, and within leadership.

I love the party, although we seem to have attracted some bad apples which has been a major challenge at a critical time. Right now I think our message is fading from popular view after a high point a few weeks ago. We need to clean house internally as much as possible and move forward with growing the party for the future.

Recruit, Recruit, Recruit! Explain our beliefs and put it on newspapers. And more recruiting!

make it so the commune give 6 star products and not 5 (This will make the bad economy of the game not affect are members)

Recruit more active members, debate with the AMP and USWP more often, pull back from congressional elections a tad bit, socialize a bit more with non members.
