Vice President Update - Day 1568
Andrew McKenzie Caine
Hello eCanada,
If you are not yet aware, our Country President, Acacia Mason, has resigned. This comes after Acacia was threatened with the release of his RL information. The link below will show the conversation that took place between Acacia and JLebowski:

"Let me be clear.
I am leaving because I have received several very threatening PM's including one in which the release of both my home and work address is threatened.
Call it whatever the fuck you want...there is nothing about this game even close to being worth that. Maybe you think its worth it but I sure as hell dont."
There have been multiple attempts to contact Acacia, but so far, there has been no response. During this time, Congress has been busy developing multiple plans of action in order to deal with this situation.
As of right now, Congress has three options that it is considering:
1. Impeach Acacia, Rolo becomes CP.
2. Leave Acacia in power, Vice President AMC becomes acting President.
3. Leave Acacia in power. An emergency Triumvirate is formed.
An impeachment has been pre-maturely proposed by Code-y. Congress is being asked to hold their votes in an attempt to reach Acacia. We are currently looking into options of accessing Acacia's account in order to push the necessary buttons and keep the country running.
This is indeed a rather troubling, and confusing time, and I would like to thank Congress' swift actions, specifically Plugson, and crisfire. I would ask that patience be a virtue for a few more hours as we attempt to come to a solution.
As Vice-President, I will be looking after as much of the game as I possibly can. Until Congress has come to a decision about the future of eCanada, and who will run our country, I will be working with the remaining Cabinet on matters that Acacia had started work on, including: our monthly budget, MPPs, developing plans for RWs/region bonuses, and the on-going internal affairs investigation. While time is short, I will make the most of whatever little there is left in order to keep this country running as smoothly as possible under the current circumstances.
It is in these moments that our country has an opportunity to change. Whether that change is for the better or worse is truly up to us. In the next few hours, we will see what our future holds. I will attempt to keep eCanada updated as much as possible within the coming hours.
We have already lost much these past few weeks. We must start to heal, and I call on eCanada to be better. It starts with us. Those who lead. We must be willing to change if we are to inspire others to follow. To all eCanadians, I say this: should you lose faith in those who lead, never lose faith in yourselves, or the potential of your country. When all else crashes down upon you, become the foundation.
Once more, when we need to the most, no matter what happens today, I bid you, eCanada to look after each other, fight for each other, and together, R I S E.
Sincerely,
Vice-President of eCanada

This is very sad.. It makes me sick..
If we continue like this, Canada will soon crumble and perish..
We need to do something about these problems..
Code Y really didnt do us any favors with a premature impeachment proposal but im sure he knows that. If Acacia is walking away im not sure how we can do anything but impeach even though its illegal as we wont have anyone pressing the nessesary CP buttons unless like a few of said the admins would let a few people control his account, but doesnt that need his approval, I would think so.
Anyway my wife, a new player, asked me why the hell I would continue to play when someone like Lewbowski or Adasko would threaten someone with releasing private info, true or not, and its a good question. I hope we come down hard on him as intruding on RL is a hell of a lot more serious then any virtual crime people can commit.
It most likely would need his approval.
It is serious. If we keep this up, we're going to scare people away from coming here, or even playing that game. No. We start to end this sort of thing now.
JLebowski should be banned from the forums and eCan IRC by the admins, this goes beyond any role play rules or laws.

This
I agree with that as well.
god damn drama.
Questions:
1. Is it true that JLebowski is the former Adasko?
2. Aren't Adasko and Acacia in-game friends?
3. Is this some sort of staged drama to get Rolo the CP and allow him to rehabilitate himself?
And now the one I am really asking myself:
4. Is my even thinking this way primarily a sign of how cynical I've become or how totally messed-up the role play in eCanada has become?
4. is so true
Anyway, you guys could chip in for a railroad ticket to warshaw so i can punch the Adasko. Although some of our polish citizens might be nearer. I am looking at you, Nagrix.
#4 is where I believe the answer can be found, Rigour.
A good update, AMC. Thanks for explaining the situation directly. It'll get sorted out with enough cool heads prevailing.
All's I know is, when you can't tell the white hats from the black, it's time to leave the theatre.
If #3 were true (of Rigour's comment), I would have hoped Acacia just resign the nomination in the hours before the ballot was set so that Rolo could straight up win and we wouldn't be left holding the bag.
I'm having a hard time believing he'd undermine all the effort he put into rebuilding CoI after Addy left. However, #4 leaves such a strong flavour of doubt in all eCanadian's minds that it is hard to dismiss the 'what ifs.' I'm holding out hope that he's too decent a guy to go with a #3 scenario.
This is a play to get Rolo into power, hatched between Acacia and Rolo. The Adasko/John Cleese/JLebowski business is merely a side-show, an excuse Acacia can use since he and Addy have set the precedent.
Don't impeach Acacia, even if nothing happens all month and we have an empty suit sitting in the CP chair. An empty suit is better than a malevolent suit. I think.
what a joke this as become!
Man oh man do people take this game too seriously.
@Chucky: agreed. Also this:

JLebowski/Adasko hasn't played the game is months, any information JL/Adasko had on Acacia can be found using google. JL/Adasko wasn't planning on threatening Acacia, JL/Adasko was only planning to troll Acacia.
This was all planned by Rolo and Acacia
The game was rigged from the start.
Trent, for a guy who says he doesn't throw dirt...you sure helped dig up a pile right there. Sadly, you almost had me going.
Let's RISE to this occasion.
AMC for interim CP! \o/
Here's an idea:
How about we require all citizens to read and pass a simple test on John Gabriel's Greater Internet ****wad Theory and Wheaton's Law?
