Curiosity killed the cat!

Luckily I have nine lives 🙂
Recently I confronted some party members about their choice of words. More correctly, the term 'we' . 'We' was some secret or unknown to me governing body of Defiance. Fine I thought, every party needs leadership to guide the party to succes, but I couldn't let it just go. The party-feed is very silent, and as far as I am aware of (lots of a's there) I get to read comments here and on the external forum from the same party-members over and over again. Furthermore, this leadership was the reason of the party results in the latest elections.
So I did some digging around, on egov. Now, egov isn't the walhalla of correct info but it does give a small insight into the player.
A 36-member party in a small country like ours, with some governing body to set the party rules out. That calls for quite some activity. I base activity on how many times in the last 30 days one was online to train/xp gain. The easiest data to get from egov.
100%(30/30) : Jofroi, Marko Klis, J.L. Torrente,me
93%(28/30) : vladut georgel, wolf-stone
90%(27/30) : ombrenoire
68%(20/30) : Aries Sun
60%(18/30) : LeoOoNidaSBiH
40%(12/30) : Lioncoeur
13%(4/30) : Gazda Buzda
7%(2/30) : shadowukcs
3%(1/30) : Dirty Suzy, Naiad Shrewd NilHippjazz, donkey Pedro, Yunichi Kawa, KoVaBiDaMu, Ivan The Sweet One, eXtraTerres3al, Kytonge, Gianpietro Gepetto, Rastafanman, Mahabharata Salama, Papa Strumpff, Ellen R, Arnie007
0%(0/30) : Napoleon BTP, Mickey B E, Albert Zwei
5 who don't show up on egov, 'access denied", so no info available for me :
Sebastien De Wolf, Jarastlad, GW Junior, CRO PIKUTIK, Moses Liberator
Shadow will be shadow, wolf-stone I've always known as pretty silent, but like ombrenoire is active
The 5 which I can not get info for, GW Junior is active, as is Moses Liberator.
Seventeen, nearly half, have 0 or 1 day of activity. The most active ones, are also the ones which I can read up on now and again. In most cases, the leadership in a party (they have to be active) is bigger then the ones they represent(in essence active). Can't really find a large active base to represent, unless the base and the leadership are just the same people 🙂
Interesting small fact : 12 of the 14 with one vote, were active on the 25th( some extrapolation had to be done, egov has the habit of giving data a day earlier or later), the other 2 of the 14 were active on the 15th. Election buddies I call them. Not saying anything about multi's at all, and not planning to report them, Plato wants the whales to stay to satisfy his hunger, and it is not against the rules. Maybe it's time Plato introduced an activity counter, where to be able to participate on certain levels you'd need a certain amount of activity. But I guess that's wishfull thinking.
A bit of data, should be correct, but please give me the heads-up if you have more data then me, or some of mine is wrong.
This was it, another boring article with no pics about boobs, so find some elsewhere and dream on 😛

"Election buddies I call them"
ZOMBIE ACCOUNTS

No boobs, no vote!
if I continu to eat like I'm doing now, in a year or so I can you give you manboobs? 😛
You made a suicide in politic life of our party. 😃
You can not throw mud at your party and be its member.
About that issue I can said only that we need these guys to be in TOP 5. They are not multi, because if they are they will be banned. They probably dont have a lot of time to play this game or dont have a internet conections every day.
I can only say:
Hail our Election buddies
1) I'm not throwing mud, just facts
2) I don't care about election buddies, or the use of them.
3) It seems a secret governing body is the 'we' that make the decisions in Defiance
4) This body is also responsible for the election results
5) As I see little activity within the party-feed and I had no idea of any party-leadership-group, I can only say that 'elites' seem to rule the party
This made me do the looking up. There's hardly any active userbase within the party, the active leaders which do all the talking are also the active players within the party. So they represent themselves and not some digruntled players which think that eBe is treating them unfair. The inactive group boostst numbers and is what wins the elections is what I could conclude out of the given facts.
Be my guest to have a go at me, but please, try finding actual stats or evidence to back it all up. Not some pseudo-political big talk like RL politicians 😉
PS I have never had a ePolitical life, and I will never have one 😛

MULTIES, right?
No, not that I am aware of, or have any evidence of.
Interesting.
What kind of trash is this; luckily we have our Judas to provide us with the newest developments.
Who's Judas, he a Defiance member?
Thrash? Just figures I got from eGov site. But let me guess? Those are manipulated, right?
You can complain about the conclusion which one might distill out of the figures given, but the facts themselves are there, you can not dispute them.
"De waarheid kwetst" 😛
Feel free to put forward any other information, or is that only available for those who are leading Defiance, not for the simple members like me?
But don't feel special because I am critical towards Defiance, I am overly critical of everything 😉
That was obvious, thx for bringing it up supported with egov stats. o7
Many players have joined in the months, level 20, and then 'quit'. Never joined a party, but the voting-threshold makes me thinks that they too were probably voting accounts made by friends. For who they voted, only Plato knows and he doesn't give a cr*p, he's sitting on his gold like Smaug.
You will have my vote when you put all this in one article with the same analysis of all the other parties in eBe.
This is a sad story of all the parties in this eWorld, and it seems that Admins can't find the proper solution for this problem. By that I mean, to make other aspects of this game more interesting to these players who like only the political module. 😛
It took me an hour to get all this together, I'm sure someone else can do it for their party. The only reason why I even started doing it, because I got the feeling that the ideology driving this party was "Don't question the authority, do as you're told" . If there's one thing I don't obey, it's that.
The Admins don't want to really, it would make the game more complicated 🙂
PS I think most election accounts don't even join parties, but I'll see what I can do to dig up all those 'dead' accounts. Same here, Admins don't see the need to be transparent about data at all. Pity, they could make the game more interesting, but in the end, would it get them more money? Probably not, so I can understand them not investing in it too much.
