INTERVIEW WITH UKRP LEADER MASSACAR

Day 2,651, 10:06 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by Harry Dalton

NO PLANS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENCY, FINDING THE BALANCE ON IMMIGRATION and POTENTIALLY SOME NEW CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS

With most of the previous analysis focused on the two main parties, I thought we ought to take a look at the significant others - firstly with the UK Reform Party Leader MASSACAR. Despite not revealing anything over who would be the lead candidates, MASSACAR seemed open to the idea of including new Congress candidates, even if not this time.

(Harry Dalton): Can we get a preview of what the candidate order would be?
(MASSACAR): Spoilers... You'll have to wait and see, but I'll give you a hint, at some point on the list there will be a Wookie.

(HD):How do you plan to support new players better? (An issue raised by many candidates)
(M):We as a party support new player buy letting them be involved if they're interested. A newbie shouldn't just be let into congress only because they asked to be let in. If they've shown an active interest, and have been learning within the society, then i'm more than willing to place 2 or even three if we have a particularly good bunch, on our top 7 list. (Traditionally we get 7-8 congressmen)

(HD):What is your view on what should be done on immigration?
(M):We need to find a balance, which is something we've been working on, and will always have to work on. Typical practice is for congress to check to see if anyone can vouch for the applicant, whether they be in the UK or in a foreign government. Assuming they do have someone to vouch for their character then they are more likely to be let in. As we now possess some very attractive weapon and food bonuses, we're getting a lot of people applying for CS purely based on our bonuses. This is both good and bad. In the past, many UKers have done the same with Poland, using our former ally to boost production to supply UK MU's. Now that the tables have turned I would argue that we should allow the same thing to a degree (so long as the new citizens would not be supplying an enemy countries MU's and they stay away from politics at least for a while).
Another ever present problem is that of PTO threats, and the aforementioned group can stir up some fears for some, not to mention just a throng of accounts asking to get in. We need to be open to letting people in, but not just accept willy-nilly.

(HD): What is your main concern with the UK at the moment?
(M): A resurgence in PTO activities. Not just from foreigners abroad coming in, but from unfriendly parties within. For example, Don Dapper, aka Bruce Wayne, is back to his old tricks of trying to garner power and trick newer players into thinking he's some injured party. He likes to gloss over the BigAnt PTO and theft bit.

(HD): Are you considering a run for President?
(M): No, I'm too busy IRL for that currently
