DSP's Plans: December 2012 - Creation of a Top Five Party
Major Lee Hung
The DSP has been struggling to push past 16 members (we keep hovering from 10 - 1😎
as you may have seen. To combat this, we've been in talks with Alfagrem for a few days now, and decided that we're going to be merging our efforts in to one, pro-newbie party designed to raise a new generation of political players, and more importantly, increase retention rates in the eUK.
Together with the DSP's reward schemes and Alfagrem's supply schemes, membership in the new party will be more rewarding than any party to have risen before. We want to really improve the eUK, and this is going to be one of the many ways we do it.
Leak
Unfortunately, PCP learned of our merge and decided to use it in a propoganda attempt this week, so we're announcing the merge a few days early. As well as this, they decided it would be nice to send this fictional message to everybody in the party:
Hiya ***,
I presume you have already received contact from Josh informing you of the merge between UKIP and DSP to create a new left-wing party. This is not the case, alfagrem is a renowned right-winger having been a member of UKPP and being friends with Sir Nick Griffin a real life BNP member. Do not let your morals down simply for more power - lefties should stay left. That is why I am asking you, no, imploring you to join the People's Communist Party - the eUK's only true left-wing party. We are a place where everyone is listened to, no-one is ignored, and compromises for the sake of power are not made. I do hope you make the right decision.
Yours,
Zaphod Beeblebrox IV
PCP Vice-President and Congressman
1. How do you know that our plans aren't the case? Clearly they are the case or you wouldn't be sending this message in the first place.
2. Alfagrem's political beliefs are #1, none of your concern, and #2, obviously not your area of expertise based on this blatant lie.
3. Being friends with Sir Nick Griffin doesn't make Alfagrem evil.
4. The PCP runs little, if any, left-wing schemes. You can't tell everybody you're the only 'true' left wing party, because there's 2 others just in the top 5. The DSP is left wing, and there's probably other small parties.
I'm disappointed that the PCP stooped to this. Creating blatant lies and sending it to friends of the people you're insulting is a pretty dumb thing to do.
Transition Time Line
1st December - Beginning of talks
2nd December - Party-wide consultation
3rd December - Confirmation of merge
4th December - Begin to slowly move members over
5th December - Begin to plan community building events to bring the DSP and other party members together
6th December - Move 75% of the party over
7th December - Announce article (came 3 days early)
8th December - Complete merge
To do list: Come up with name and other specifics, survey the party members to see what they want.
So yes - The DSP is now combining with other like-minded citizens in a new party (with a more creative name than 'DSP' no doubt!) and we anticipate that we'll be in the top 5 by 10th December. Anybody wishing to join the DSP or this new party should join what's currently the 'UKIP'. The name and other details WILL be changed once our party president is elected. (It's better this way, as the new party members can elect the leader they want) We hope you join us, and thanks for your support so far! We're finally moving up.
(Side note, all members agreed to the merge and the full democratic process was undertaken)
Thanks,
Joshua Whelan

Interesting to see who will absorb who.
Voted 🙂
they will be moving into the UKIP, or whatever it will be called.
Well, good luck with all that mate. Sad to see Alfa bought you out of a chance to do something, but best of luck with it! I had hopes for you guys getting somewhere as your own party.
Thanks for the support! 😃
And we'll still kinda be the same thing. We're reforging a new, better party out of the foundations of UKIP and DSP, hopefully bringing together all the elements needed to finally give the new guys a chance.
join TUP! New guys as PP and Congress! : P
I hope that it will work out how you wish it, and not just become Alfa's party. And I hope that you become the first top 5 new party to not hate TUP!
The UKIP might not be a left-wing party or even called UKIP - depends on how the members vote.
4. OMG. The PCP is runs many left wing schemes! Is this article a joke?! The PCP is the only true left party look at are rl political belief article that Acroc just did. +THE LEFT WING SCHEMES WERE INVOLVED IN.
Perhaps if you took more time to find out information in your article before making assumptions you would know this.
Interesting to see what your members vote for!

The ESO idea of RL political orientation that you stole*
ESO too had a wide range of left-wing supporters.
And what schemes? Your party is defunct and many of your members have been in talks with me about leaving it. Your attempts to push the small parties around failed and so you resorted to sending made up information to DSP members.
3. Being friends with Sir Nick Griffin doesn't make Alfagrem evil.
lol'd
Also, UKIP recruits out of other parties, trying to >genuinely buy their membership<. Don't complain when someone uses genuine policy as a recruitment tool.
I expected more Josh
'The ESO idea of RL political orientation that you stole*'
NO we did it 2 years ago there u go with another incorrect assumption.
wtf we have never pushed about small parties, members will not be leaving to you. You have sold out
It's not selling out. People don't want to wait 3-4 months for us to break to the top five - they want to start getting involved now and this gives dozens of people the opportunity.
Clearly you have sold out to the right, just to gain some sense of 'opportunity/power' please take the word socialist out of your party name. The 2 don't go together anymore.
Voted
'Found out your plans'
You mean we saw you in your public IRC channel ask for £350 per member who moves over to 'compensate for their effort'.
And you want to paint this as a great meeting of your politics and plans. When really you were just offered a small amount of cash and sold your members down the river.
v
You still don't seem to be getting that political orientation will be down to a vote of the party; a long with everything else from the name to the avatar. From here on out I will only be responding to actual questions and criticism. Thank you and goodnight.
I'm sorry that it pushes you down to #7, but you're getting a little to defensive based on that fact. You can't accuse us of being all of these things just because you feel 'threatened'.
@Ayame - The talks have been ongoing for awhile. We discussed it on IRC once with a PCP member there. I personally hate IRC and use Skype with most eRep friends and such, but IRC seems to still be the most widely used choice.
And once again, we're not 'selling out', we're just putting the power in the people's hands to decide the direction of their party. There was a yes vote from every single member of the DSP.
Well you did still ask for money. And if every DSP member is onside then what do you have to worry about with some messages?
You seem more than happy to brag about recruiting from other parties yourself.
I didn't ask for money, I offered it to DSP members, just as we've done from the very outset.
And yes, numerous PCP members joined us and others are planning to join at a later date. They lack the feeling of involvement and opportunity. Because speaking of selling out, you went against your party's beliefs for a cabinet spot, remember?
'I'm sorry that it pushes you down to #7, but you're getting a little to defensive based on that fact.'
Pure rubbish, your making false assumptions AGAIN. We could not give a toss where we are.
Excuse me?
What do you mean went against my beliefs for a cabinet spot?
The only cabinet spots I've held have been MoHA under Big Ant and MoH under Talon. I was second choice for MoH and had I not said yes to running it. Then it's likely that over 100G wouldn't have been invested in new players, Something myself and plenty of other PCP members have campaigned for for a long time.
If that's worse than taking blatant bribes to join Alfa on his ego trip then I'm happy to be the bad guy.
I left the party because I wanted to stay with a small party, and I don't like the merge. But that message is the reason I will never join the PCP. That's entirely not cool. I didn't ask for the message, I didn't want it, and I consider it spam.
I hope you do well with the merge.
I wasn't bribed by Alfa, it was done in the interest of the members who want to progress now; and I mean your party, not you specifically.
And thanks for your help Caers, and I'm sorry you felt that way! TWP seems to be an active yet small party and could be a good alternative. I appreciate your help to date!
true message 2 be fair
Haters gonna hate.
Caers, if you ever want to join a party that isn't small, TUP is one that backed the DSP from its inception, and still wishes them luck in their new incarnation
Also so much bullshit josh. I have tried to be civil in my recruiting, I never used to message anyone if they were in a party, but guess what I got bored of everyone not doing the same. I took what I saw as an opportunity to pick up a few members - so fuckin what? I don't write a bawww article everytime a member joins a different party.
Anyway, I look forward to you propping up alfa's little ego boost, and also look forward to it disbanding within 6 months. It has no substance and is just...
another copy of ukpp/eso/any other party in the eUK.
You can accuse me of anything you like, but at least I don't bribe and sell out in favour of a few members.
The article was announcing a merge, not a member leaving.
Can't we all be friends!? 😛
Then why did you need to include my PM's. It's sweet you got so annoyed at me, it really is.
I was showing the difference between actual propaganda (Presenting facts to the public) and what appears to be PCP's own variation of propaganda. (making up 3 paragraphs of false accusations/fiction and PMing it to everybody, including close eRep friends, in the DSP) At no point did I get annoyed; we had a little laugh at it last night so quite the contrary.
I see that somebody has lit the fuse on your tampon, so I will respond properly when you take a calmer attitude.
Josh, Can I ask what exactly in the PM is a false accusation?
Nice to see we've entered the world of personal insults. Your moma smells and is obese.
You pm'ed PCP members, I pm'ed DSP members. You made a wee baw article, I responded. Every actions provokes a counter-action, so don't pretend to be shocked. I did not lie in that PM, so idk. ;3
Could you also stop pretending to take the moral-high ground, and pretend you laugh it off. If you were really mature you would of PMed me to sort things out instead of writing a wee baww article. it's pathetic.
Also Nirvana is a shit copy of Pixies.
JUS SAYIN
@Ayame, most of it is false.
@Zaphod, I see no personal attacks. I only see you becoming angry for no clear reason. I PMed one PCP member, who's name was 'The Socialist'. You PMed all DSP members - which isn't even my issue. My point was that you lied to them in an attempt to hold on to your #6 spot.
And you had the chance to talk to us when you were there in IRC before PMing members, why should I respond to that differently?
Also, I happen to like Pixies too. *Influenced by; not copied
Most of it?
So you didn't message members about the UKIP merge? Alfagram hasn't been heavily involved with right wing parties for the entirety of his return to the UK? He isn't friends with Sir Nick? Sir Nick isn't a BNP member?
Because I'm pretty sure everyone of those can be proved.
If you see something else that I've missed then perhaps one of us should go see an optician...
Ikr I'm so angry, that I wrote a article to moan in front of the rest of the euk. Bloody furious. Also can you give me one bit that was a lie.
Sell out
-Alfagrem was involved with your party last year, are you left-wing? There's an election result where you ran him as a CP candidate if you want proof. Also, the UKPP was centre I believe, sporting many left-wing views.
-How could you possibly know that Sir Nick is a BNP member? And more importantly, how is that relevant at all to the DSP? Sir Nick is a completely different person and I fail to see how he comes in to this at all.
-You're not the only left-wing party as you claimed
Zaphod, you're still missing the boat. This is announcing a merge. I just happened to involve your PM in the article because it's full of so much BS.
Alfagrem is a careerist but his allies are definite right wingers like his best bud Nick, UKPP pride themselves on being right wing with some social policies.
Sir Nick has himself stated he is a BNP member. It's relevant in that you can judge a man by the company he keeps. Ie. Don't expect to become a real left wing party. There is a reason you don't see PCP throwing obscene amounts of goods into recruitment... because we don't hoard it, we share it amongst commune members.
Let's chill a little shall we?
'X' messaged 'Y' about joining 'W' instead of 'T' when 'B' from 'T' messaged 'C' from 'W'......awesome stuff.
End result is competition for members and its continual competition so players are no longer 'banked' by a party and forgotten till election time. Improved entertainment, involvement and retention of players happens and we all win.
@Dan - I'm sorry that you feel that way but I still don't see it as selling out personally.
The new party will be forged by majority votes for everything. Policies, what we stand for, avatar, name, orientation etc. We're keep the 'Democratic' part of our party and dropping the 'Socialist' part.
The DSP was founded and based on my personal views, and I feel that's where I went wrong. We need a party formed based on all of the member's views. This is what makes it a party.
As for being left wing, Do you think we take the attacks for standing front and centre as far lefties for nothing?
Whatever happens, we have something that can't be bought.
A caring community of friends, Whether we are 6th or 20th we'll still have that and it'll still be more rewarding than buying our way into the Top 5 to be able to play around at being important.
I am somewhat surprised how PCP can label me 'right wing' however when all my programs in whichever party I've been in have been based on equality of members with each member earning their fair share of production.
I annoyed Carlini by pointing out Legion wasn't based on equality.
Formed a #1 party based on fighting elitism and got labelled a 'populist'
I ignored 'convention' and helped make this focus on retention happen.
I was in PCP and ran for CP
I was in a socialist party in eSK
Zaphod> "Also can you give me one bit that was a lie..."
>to create a new left-wing party
Currently up to members, might be ultra far-right, far-left or hding behind the door...who knows.
>alfagrem is a renowned right-winger
In RL I vote Liberal, I am centre-right of the party but it's Cornwall so its Liberal country and in eRep I've spent longer in Socialist parties.
the rest I assume is true but only your members know that for sure.
You were is the point Alfa.
No offence to you but if Josh can't see that you are never committed to anyone project for too long and that sooner or later you and your supplies will leave. Then that's his problem.
As far as I am concerned any person who moves parties that often is a Careerist fullstop. Any one who believes their moving to another party and recruiting with goods and promises entitles them to claim any praise that party gets is also purely playing for an Ego boost.
