So, short and sweet.
In light of Canada's current congress situation, the MDP has decided to form a "Mock Congress" this month.
-Anyone from any party with any opinion can sign up
-New players welcome, get in here and do stuff!
-If you're bored, you can use this to help stay active for next month
This is a mock congress, we won't be making any official decisions as we are not part of the government, but we will be holding discussion and doing stuff as if we were a real congress. The discussion will be held on a forum set up and administrated by MDP Leadership.
Interested? Sign up here!

Vote it up! And as always, stay sexy guys 😉

You should get used to making one of these every month.
We shall, just as we've got used to seeing that Americans are liars that cannot be trusted. 🙂
I can lie and be untrustworthy too.
*eAmericans
(in your context.)
cool story bro
Shut up and stop trolling 😛
nice to meet you btw, now get out of our media
*claps*
Wow, another snide comment, must have taking you all day to come up with that one! Keep on wasting your time being unprofessional, really it looks great!
I think you are upset that you failed to break our will. Go pretend you are important somewhere else.

HOOT HOOT I'M A OWL
Awesome stuff Jason! Love the idea.!
Voted hard for keeping this shit fun!
Excellent idea !!.I"ve applied already.I am looking forward to participate in this project.Voted,subed.Greetings from Alex.
"we won't be making any real decisions"
If people are willing to contribute to not making real decisions maybe that energy could be better used talking to allies, fund raising for CO's and planning RW's...some real decisions
This is meant to keep people active who usually participate in congress and to get some people who are usually quiet more active in politics. I'm personally interested in getting to know the members of my party better as well. While we won't be making real decisions, we will be maintaining solidarity in Cadana
Although when you mention it, we could start fundraisers as a group if we wanted to. they just wouldn't be government sanctioned. Thank you for the idea.
I'll be changing the word "real" to "official" in the article and I plan to suggest a fundraiser to start us off
I did alot of fund raising for the Crimson Canucks in the past and found it really easy to raise funds with 50/50 draws or 50/25/25 draws. One draw alone got over 100k in a week
Funny thing, those that donate already are and there are planned RW's and 2 threads of people who pay for it and those that cannot pay themselves but receive 1000cc to do their country a service. Haven't seen you anywhere around these already functioning programs. 😉
Thanks for your opinion, better luck next time.
check the list again and not my fault im not included in any PM's

Your name is not on the list, crisfire. Contact Exalted Druid and get that taken care of.
I was talking about Ryldes donation list
I contribute to starting RW whenever I can on my own
It is your fault you are not included in the PMs when you do not sign up for the programs.
So what you're saying is that you 'do your own thing' and aren't really concerned about working together to get things done. That's fine with me but you really shouldn't bitch when others are coordinating their efforts. Go live on yer eRep isolated island is that is what makes you happy.
...
And you berate -us- for roleplaying?
It's better to have activity in times of wipe I think
Can't be worse then the average Congress then.
chochi, chochi, chochi...
my immediate thought was this sounds like a CPF deal, what is the MDP comming to?
yeah normally its concerned about its self only lol zinggg
IIRC MDP always followed the lead of the Dictator, unless Council chooses to overthrow the Dictator. It's usually the Dictator that sets the pace/approach to politics for the rest of the party.
So far I think Jason Welsh is cool. I've got nothing against him to suggest otherwise.
Encouraging solidarity. Shall we throw up our hands and sob like women, or take the the lead and show the people that the Americans do not control our actions? Shall we tell everyone they are doing a terrible job and point accusatory fingers, or shall we provide an alternative for thinking forward?
ya, cause thats the alternative
It's one alternative. Do you want to help Canada in its time of trouble, or do you only want to snipe the efforts of others?
It seems to me like that MDP is so bored with war that it looks like it's going to give political role-playing a try, crisfire.
Xander, I could take or leave a mock Congress but I don't think it's really going to help Canada much in its time of trouble (which really seems like a return to the old status quo, anyways) nor is pointing this out going to make things any worse.
Well, Chochi, if you do not think it will help, you are welcome to ignore it. We believe we are giving ourselves something the American invasion denies us. If you have a better alternative to keep people engaged and politically active during the wipe, take the initiative as Welsh has done and set it up.
Or you can crap on the efforts of others, because that's awesome too.
~hyuu~
Sounds like fun! Roleplaying within a roleplaying game! This is like Inception, just without the near-drowning experiences.
If you're not having a near-drowning experience at least once a month playing this game, then you're clearly not playing it right!
eRep battle shower hour FTW!
Forum is ready and everyone on the list will be PM'd with the link tomorrow.
late applicants are always welcome!
o7 You have my vote for this article, noble Canadian
