CSD and the CPP- A new beginning.
•
by Ralph Kline
The instability of the political realm in eCanada is amazing.
However, there are really no excuses to be made for human nature. As I see it we all want something and work towards it. In the way of it, is this dirty thing called politics. How do we get what we want? How do we shape our world in co-operation with others? How do we work is a system that is designed to create dissent? Well, we don't actually.
We have monthly elections for Country President, Congress and Party Presidents. While on one hand I understand why game designers made elections monthly so player interest in politics remains high, it also created it's biggest problem.
Just imagine once what real life would be like if our countries had monthly elections! There would be a speedy decent into total anarchy you can be sure!
This is what we are seeing in our world. The population is fragmented in ideas, and the driving chant is change, change ,change. With it some of the worst social behavior, sad to say.
The scenario has created a downward spiral because politically we lack cohesion. This is the result and not the problem, regrettably. The admins must adjust the political module for that. We can only attempt to treat the disease. As follows:
The Canadian Strategic Defense Unit has been a great success. Though the past months we have been the #1 ranked group in the nation and are very influential on the battlefield. The recent game changes have caused me to examine the CSD's purpose. We are defenders of the nation, but no longer just of foreign attack, we need to help protect the nation from itself. This must be done by becoming a united group and using that political capital to help stabilize the government.
In one week, all members of the CSD unit will be required to be active members of the Canadian Paradox Party, on the forums and voting on issues in order to receive supply. All members of the CPP who wish to advance as soldiers and citizens are likewise invited to become members of the CSD.
Let's become stronger together.

i agree with you man, we need to protect canada, military wise and politics wise... ive joined the cpp a long time ago, but ill be more active from now on...
Seems interesting.
Admins need to give us alternative political systems or ways of changing the current ones, such as setting term limits ourselves or changing the titles of our legislative branch and leader.
So us loyal members must now change our Political party to remain in the MU??
Apparently you can stay in the MU you just won't get any supplies. Why you'd want to stay if there's nothing in it for you is beyond me however.
As usual, the admins have outsmarted themselves - again.
This is awesome news Ralph Kline!
That is one great logo!
Yeah, forcing people to join to some party is just great idea. I have to be active in CPP if I want to get any supplies... what if I don't want to get dirt from stupid political system in this game? Why I can't be just a soldier without any political activity? You really think that people forced to political activity will be good politicians?
You should ask people first, not just giving them note about new way. Now you just will pay for joining to CPP. Maybe it is good time to change name to Paradox Strategic Defense?
I'm really angry because that decision. I'm working for CSD, I sent few large donations and I want to send more, I was fighitng with you guys and now I can just fuck off, because I do not want to be in CPP. I thought that CSD is not political unit and you really want active fighters. Now I see whole plan - using CSD to make CPP stronger party.
I will not sell myself for few tanks. I will not join to any party because you want to. I will not be a good politician because I don't give a fuck about politics in this game. Now we just should say good bye each other. Sad but true. : (
CSD is going to PTO CPP??? o.0
Tis' a great logo Roger! Excellent job 🙂
Well I'm glad I chose the CPP after I chose to CSD. Hmmm.... great minds?
Can you upgrade the CSD logo? Just checkin'.
I am always looking for a new logo idea 😁^
Long Sword Rebellion anyone?
huhuhuhuhu...
One MU to rule them all they say!
Jokes aside, it could be a welcoming change. however imo you should be pretty open about people not belonging to your party and still wanting to be part of CSD.
But that's just my view as an outsider, or citizen of the world.
This would be good if the requirement was just them to be active in a party and the forums, instead of a specific party.
I remember that I was kick out of the CAF because of my political opinion a few months. It wasn't a good moment that I had on this game.
I prefer when MU are politically independent. I will not like the day when people a going to be kick out of their MU because of something they said in congress or in the media. Free speech should be tolerated in MU.
I trust your judgment thought, Ralph. : )
This is a slippery slope
CSD is going to PTO CPP??? o.0 x2 😮p
Muglack brings a good point in congress about double funding a CSD member could get: from the govt. via the forum membership of a MU and from a private source by being member of CSD AND CPP.
Then, I'm not sure if a CSD member you will join CPP (and leave other party) only to become politically involve or because he wants extra-supply.
This is a slippery slope. x2
A slippery slope maybe, but a path I'm willing to take. We will see where it goes.
Goodluck mate!

Use the Winnipeg Jets new logo.🙂
there is no free speach in any military. Hell, there's no free will either. When your comander tells you to jump, u ask "How high?"
hmmmm, one military power, one political party...ermm wasnt this done before, i mean around 1930' in germany?
I'm sorry Ralph, but I will decline joining the CPP. You've been great thus far, but if this is the future you see for CSD then I'm afraid our paths will be diverging from this point forward.
Maybe if eCanada funded its MU's to a level so that we could fight at least a full 500 health with Q5 tanks everyday than the motion in Congress to cease funding TCO and CAF members who are double dipping in the CSD would have less of an impact. Ralph Kline has been picking up eCanada's slack in regards to helping eCanadains fight to thier max potential. I am disapointed at RK's decision but members of the CAF and TCO that decided to follow RK to the CPP should not be penalized, I mean isnt this only an issue if the CPP uses its political muscle to gain funding?
eCanada could be doing better in regards to the level of funding that it provides to MU's which in turn equals more damage done and all of our stats going up.
Ralph i just want to say thanks for having me in your unit, and it was honor and good fun to serve here, but with recent update from You - mandatory condition to join CPP, i must resign from CSD with great regret, but still i dont like to be forced to do something i dont like, and I totally agree with what MrEgg said.
Thanks for fun, and best regards, BPP.

The stupidest idea I have ever heard covered with a stupid excuse.
The game has been written in that way so that you will not end up with a 14 year old moron as a president for four years. No one says that it is impossible if the crowd likes the president they will elect him again won't they?
Dirty, dirty politics how can you require someone to join a party only because he is a member of MU.
Hopefully the members of CSD have spines!
