The Challenge Facing You
First off I'm not going to pretend that I'm a party member, I mean, I'm IN the party but I'll never truly be a Wolf Cub. This does not mean that my eyes are closed to the issues facing your party.
Some party members may say that I'm not trying to help, that I'm only trying to help the 'PTO'; that I am a 'Traitor' and 'TWO lover'; Well that's bullcrap. I've been an opponent of AFK/CW since its birth, it's true; my opposition wasn't out of spite or hatred for particular personalities, however but over a fundamental difference in how I think this game should be played.
A time warp?! OH LORD NOT AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN
A Brief History
The AFK/CW was created by Tyrael Snow, a player whose ambition for power was rivaled only by his love of Game of Thrones references. His main platform consisted of a rallying cry to all the 'two-clickers' out there, players who did not want to engage in IRC or the Forums, let alone play any of the meta-game. He was very successful with this strategy and almost won the CP chair a couple of times, being narrowly beaten out on those occasions. It was this radical shift away from the mediums I found most engaging that I opposed. I did not think you could have a healthy and vibrant community based solely within eRep.
These days, it can be seen that staying in-game only can work, not as well in my opinion, but it can. At the time, however, at lot of us were concerned with this new power and it's potentially damaging effect on our eNation. I opposed AFK/CW strongly because of this, gaining a few nemeses in the process (What does the Fox say) but this does not mean I cannot work with others, as I helped guide CW and MDP to an uneasy alliance to oppose the Usurper from the South.
Stop Rambling Old Man!
The Point of All This
What I'm trying to say here is that over the year(s?) I've learned to respect CW for being a voice for a class of player I had previously written off as being unimportant. I see CWs place in our esociety and welcome their thoughts and opinions on matters important to our nation.
The party that I've come to respect is now under threat, and I'm not talking about Toad as we all know his month long troll will be over soon, ending with him being turfed to the curb by the CW voter; what I'm talking about is far more insidious than a lulzy PTO.
The party feed has been filled lately with calls to take part in a 'PP Primary' something that I feel is a complete sham and an attempt at high jacking the voice of the party at large. This 'Primary' is an open poll accessible to any member of CW, I've voted 3 times in fact. This is where my concern lies. If the hosts of this Primary *Cough, IPC, Cough* wanted a truly open and democratic vote for the next PP, they'd simply declare their candidacy, write an article or two, send a few PMs and let the chips fall where they may. Instead, they have opened a Primary for an election that ANY party member can run in, in order to 'annoint' the next PP.
This is not democracy, this is an attempted high-jacking of the party you have all worked so hard to build and create, the thugs behind these actions aren't concerned about preventing another 'PTO' but only in solidifying their power once again. I would urge all CW members to boycott the primary and to instead, vote with their mind come the 15th. Vote for the person running who best exemplifies the qualities CW embraces, not for some failed ex-MDPers who jump from party to party, using it's body as a host for their own nefarious desires. That is all IPC was, after all.
So, when the PP elections come to pass, I will be voting for a through and through CWer, someone who's been in the party a long time, someone who will stick up for the 'two-clickers'. I suggest you all do the same.

IPC is a cancer.
So, the IPC leader is an osteosarchoma ?
~hyuu~
The Primary should be including all individuals (pto or otherwise) in order to be completely open and fair. Survey Monkey (which is free) solves the multi vote as it is a bit more sophisticated than the google survey. As I posted in the party feed, I'd love for there to be a pure election, but that's not the reality of the political environment we live in.
It can be though, the traditional party leadership needs to step up and help shepherd in the new era.
On a completely different note, AFK/CW did have a successful 2-clicker army which was more as a counter balance to the more successful dictatorship at the time. Both “ideologies” fought it out in spectacular fashion, but times changed and so did both parties. I completely agree with Leo that the party does need to hold on to its roots of player support and advocacy. It’s what makes CW unique and relevant to Canada and important to the game.

Pathetic attempt to diverte the attention from his treachery. A traitor and ex-dicktator talks about 'democracy', lool very amusing i must admit.
Also, what if i tell you that IPC didn't 'open a Primary' as you claim? Why do you talk about things you have no clue hm? Is it because you hate IPC, and you just try to find a reason to justify your attacks?
But in the end, i don't care. A guy who betrayed this country with leaking important CDC stuff to our enemies, and who openly supported TWO, calling people with different opinion a 'cancer' (what are you, a 12yr old?!). Meh. Nobody gives a sh*t about what you say in our party. Enjoy your irrelevance.
Irrelevance? Is that not why you had to leave MDP? In order to try and gain some 'relevance' by leading a party that has done nothing to affect change in eCan? To use that party as a vehicle for your continued runs for CP? All I see is someone irrelevant seeking greener pastures, consequences to a good and well meaning party be damned.
i was NEVER a member of MDP. Another false fact.
If you think that IPC never did anything for this country, then that's your problem. We never destroyed this country, like MDP did with their aggressive policy. It's the matter of perspective, and from mine we did better than MDP.
We were holding Primaries, and as every party likes to nominate their own candidate, IPC gave the endorsement to me, so what's the big deal? I'm sure that i'd lead this country better than some former Presidents, i've proven my leadership skills so many times already. If you think otherwise - frankly, i don't give a sh*t.
You haven't proven anything, except you could not succeed in the true dictatorship, so you had to try and create your own. Even that failed. Your delusion is even greater than what I had imagined.
Are you retarded or what? I was never part of your shitty dictatorship party. And my party wasn't a dictatorship,everyone knows that. Geez, it's like talking to a frickin 5yr old.
Also, i never tried,or ever will try to prove anything to you. So kindly buzz off.
You can try and wash the MDP out of you, but I know better. I remember the old you Punisher. You had promise, but were impatient. Much like Anakin Skywalker, you have turned to the Dark Side.
Leo gave me 3.5g to vote this...
I need gold. Leo?
an eighth will cost you about 30 bucks here...
hey hey free gold... dark side has its perks lol
I love you LEO and you know that.
I think the main fear is people do not want to see a vote split.
In the last PP elections Toad called for MDP to leave their party, Come vote for him then head back.
While this gave CW the most active voter turn out in history it also nullified the "Real" votes from members of the party.
This pre vote system is a way for the players to have a vote before the actual election to lessen the power of bringing other players over to vote.
The fail in the system that I will give you is that not all names are on it. On pre-lims of the past I would include my competition so there was at least a fair spectrum for voters. Without letting Zianni or Toad me on the ballot we wont know if they have actual support or not outside of the 15 vocal players. We wont know what the other 60 players truly want.
Just my 2 cents but as I said at the start of my CP term. As long as I am CP I am not going to focus on CW affairs outside of making a joke here or there.
I think you may overestimate the amount of outside party help Toad had. I understand WHY there's a prelim vote going, I just don't think the CW rank and file grasp the true, insidious (word of the day) nature behind it.
Voted for the word insidious.
Man, I hate when a guy who you thought it was safe to write off as a jerk goes and writes a good and thoughtful article.
If the timing had been different, I could have been a CWer since I have no appetite for external forums or chat groups. IMO the levers of power will always be held by those willing to use the meta tools but "in-game only" clickers need a vehicle / party / lobby group to exert influence too. Can CW still claim to be that voice? Or is it now just one of 3 meta-game oriented parties vying for power?
I have been asked to vote this and have done so and made this comment to claim credit for the act.
What he said
I expect to get paid for voting this.
If anyone wants to join in the arguments on the CW feed please do, they are hilarious
[removed]
You are one of my top trumps lol
[removed]
You don't know jack about Pat.
Step off.
Settle down there
PAT lied to me.
That's all I need to know.
[removed]
Calm down Alex, they both are pretty active eCanadians. No need to be disrespectful with your language.
Klop123.
I'll take you advice....
I'm a Congressman, and dMoD, in case you're wondering.
[removed]
I was just answering your question, that's all. That was pretty unnecessary, and tasteless.
Give evidence with screenshots, wild accusations make you look like a complete fool.
All I can say, it is Pat's comments on the feed surprised any serious supporter of CW, and I am talking before the argument between Alexandria and Pat H.
I never will be a supporter of CW, I don't get what people don't understand about the letters PTO. It is Alex's comments that are offensive/ignorant/idiotic and therefore do the most damage
Then say this in the News feed PAT.
Ford you, you are so full of Ford.
I think you need to learn how to read
The real problem Clan Wolf has is that there is a complete lack of leadership.
Tyrael Snow created a party because no one else would put him on the ballot for CP so he decided to do it himself. He saw there was a place for a niche party and then started handed out tanks to make it work. It built lots of momentum, and even got to the brink of relevancy but instead of making the final push his credit card gave out and he walked away from the game.
Since then there's been two "leaders" in the party. Firefox and Oinyo. One of which gets elected month after month despite a history of missing deadlines for CP candidates and Congress. While neither of which has ever been able to garner even a fraction of party support on election days. When your high water mark on voter turn out for Congressional Elections is hovering about 50% you're doing it wrong.
If Clan Wolf/IPC/Whatever they're calling themselves these days wants to become relevant again they need to find a leader and fast. When you merge two parties and your total votes are less than they were separately the election before you're doing something wrong.
Wow, I have instant respect for you.
Hello Muglack.
The problem hasn't been Firefox & Oinyo, it's been the rest of us that have let them do all the work.
If anything the true CW group hasn't been there for them.
You are right.
But don't start talking shit about them...
They did everything to make it work.
If all of a sudden quite players like me have been woken up cause of Toad, Zianni, and Pat.
(Oh Pat is a lying piece of shit, by the way)
If anything we grew up here....
But DO NOT discount us...
Our intentions are well, we tell the truth, & and most important.
If any of our allies need help...We are already beside you.
NO matter what.
Alex.
People do love to talk about Tyrael Snow. The guy hasn't played in over a year but that's one powerful guy to leave such a lasting impression. I propose Muglack build a monument to his greatness on his yard to honour his good works and memory.
However, while that is going on, I'd like to point out that Toad chose the Congress list, which unfortunately was not who the party would have chosen to support for Congress. Many of us voted elsewhere this month or chose not to vote at all. Just a bit of back story to refute your assumption.
The only truth here is that leadership is needed, but until then it's currently one of the most entertaining places in all of Canada.
Why would I build a monument to Tyrael Snow? He was a loser. There was a reason he had to team with VISA to try and build a party when no one else would put him on the ballot for CP.
So Toad's candidates made some people vote elsewhere this month. Great, I'll accept that. But what about last month. And the month before. And the month before?
People just seem to be fascinated with him. Figured it was because they were secret admirers. But you are correct, no one would ever use a credit card in this game to advance their success. On a different note, I have these incredible beans I've been looking to sell. One would say they are magical, who can say for certain, but I think your the guy that would really appreciate them. Interested?
Voted purely for the "What does the Fox say" double entendre!
Oh Leo.....
May the force hmmm this new party thing gonna getting used to lol
just relax the IPC in my time has never been radical just a bunch of people that want to make eCan better by being active and bounce ideas without hatred,
and how can you PTO a party when 80% the party says we are good eCanadians ?
