EZC Independance

Let's start this off with some appropriate music to set the mood.

Next order of business is to say that it has been 113 days since my last article. To be honest, I was enjoying not having the stress of authorship hanging over my head in eRep. This is to say that it would take a very important subject in order to convince me to take up writing again. It saddens me that it has to be this subject.



This is of course the separation of Easy Company from the Federalist Party.

As some already know, EZC's split from the Fed party did not go according to plan. The thought of separating EZC from the Feds had been talked about in some capacity longer than I have been a member of the unit. There has always been the thought that EZC, due to the fact that it's already self-sustaining, should not be directly attached to the Federalist Party. That EZC should be free to do as it sees fit for the good of the unit, and not have the moniker of "Official Federalist MU".

About a month ago, those thoughts fostered into serious discussion, and eventually into the decision that EZC could benefit from separating from the Feds. Deepchill came to both myself and stewy, as well as others, and asked for our support in his decision. The plan was to formally request a separation for EZC on the Fed forum, and hope that, after some discussion, the Party President would be reasonable and agree. This is not at all how the situation played out...



The plan was to wait until Fingerguns had taken office as Party President, and post a formal letter to the entire party leadership. The letter stated that Deepchill was intending to create an MU that was non-political, non-government, and Pro-USA. It was in an attempt to offer a good alternative to the current landscape of MU's in eUSA. The discussion that followed was fruitful and respectful, but did not include the PP, or VPP.



At this point in the discussion, the membership of EZC was alerted of our request via PM. Of course, the fact that EZC was considering a split from the Feds did not stay quiet long, and within moments, there were shouts about the split.

Gnilraps, because of these shouts, decided to release an article announcing our separation from the Fed Party. It was in an effort to communicate the situation, and keep speculation to a minimum. As we all know, it was not received that way. Discussions had not finished yet, and the early release of the article was seen by many Feds as a slap in the face.



The situation deteriorated from there, creating a schism that should not have existed in the first place.

My most sincere regret is that this could have been a reasonable situation, an amicable separation, but it instead turned into an issue. I would like to personally apologize to anyone who felt wronged by what happened. It was not my intention, nor was it any of the EZC command's intention. I am still a Fed, and still love the Fed party. That will not change because of a bad situation.



So there it is, directly from someone who was involved on all levels. The split was never intended to hurt anyone, it was intended to help fill a need that the eUS has had for a while, and it is unfortunate that there was so much collateral damage in the process.

I'll end with a quote that I've used in my paper more than a few times:


“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on.”
