Who's your daddy? Day 10 of Addy's Clean CP Campaign
Addy Lawrence
Cypher Rahl: Hmmmm wonder if i should run a CP campaign Based on getting 2nd place to be My Daddy's VP? Any thoughts(Except Scorpius)?
I would be ecstatic to have you as Veep and improve the Judicial branch.
Whattadoozie: Has SaraDroz left the CPF? I ask because as the single most experienced MoFa eCanada has ever had, it sort of stumps me as to why it is you've left her out of your cabinet.
Is it perhaps because the CPF is focused on their own internal privy agenda and not the improvement of eCanada?
But then again, I suppose less experienced players such as TFD (in the position of MoFa) deserve a try too, right? I mean, they can't be so bad as to FAIL completely now can they?
I find it odd that as a member of the CPF you use the word "their" as opposed to we.
My cabinet is not complete and I admit that Sara is a notable omission. There is a numbers game and there is a "fit" game to deal with. I consider Sara a valuable member of the CPF and I openly admit that this is not the consensus opinion of the CPF. I will do something to recognize her value.
Tyler F Durden: We have to let other citizens get a chance, don't we?
We sure do!
Chucky Norris: I'd sure as hell like to know why we will be cutting our participation in eden? And what are we gonna do on the home front? Conquer france by ourself???
We will still be a member of EDEN, we will put them on notice that we will not be participating in their battles, rather our priority will be the eFrance. IMO, we have business to take care of on the home front. You can close the war by conquering eFrance or negotiating a treaty, both of these approaches have many roads to victory.

😛TFD you do know we have an EMC who are well funded? and that high strength soldiers from the CAF are used as tanks e.g LK - who do you think provides that gold?? Sure as hell not Canada.
eCanada provides in excess of $150,000 to the CAF each month and this includes payments to EDEN, if our tanks get funding back from EDEN a reconciliation may be in order to see if we are breaking even.

😛What are we going to do on the home front and why does it require so much attention? Conquer france all by ourself or improve our dmg count in Training War?
In some ways, the eFrance war is the training war. Another way to frame this is that we will be putting more resources into the hands of a larger number of eCanadians to fight the opponent we are at war with as opposed to putting resources in a smaller number of eCanadians hands to fight the opponents of our allies.
National Goals
If ever there was a role play in eRep, it is the National Goals. There is no in-game benefit nor cost relating to National Goals. That said, no eCanadian Prime Minister (notice I didn’t say Country President this time?) to date has ever achieved all three National Goals in one term, not one of them has scored “the hat trick”.
I intend to leave an indelible mark on our nation by recording “the hat trick” and doing it without sandbagging.
We will grow the nation by 500 citizens during my term. My primary mandate to close the eFrance war will attract people from other countries who want to kick eFrance ass. My secondary objective will attract foreign interests who want to staff up a company here and export back home. The tertiary objective will attract noobs who want a jump start to their finances. I will maintain the ad campaign in other countries which promote eCanada’s high quality of life and robust compensation.
We will grow our GDP by 500 gold during my term. eCanada will establish itself as the premier diamond/titanium provider in all of eRep with my secondary objective, Titanium Tycoon. This will increase our GDP as the volume of exports increase. Also, the focus on closing out the eFrance War will increase our GDP as the demand for guns and gifts increase.
We will hold all of our regions and take and hold at least one eFrance region. I don’t want to sandbag and say hold all of our original regions. I want to earn this National Goal by actually doing something. I am going to pick a region in eFrance, eCanada will conquer it. We will conquer more regions than this during my term, but this one will be part of the peace treaty. We will hold this region on the 3rd of July, and when we satisfy the National Goal, we will hand it back to eFrance on the 4th.
This will be eCanada’s first hat trick!!!
Dénouement
There are other things worthy of accomplishing.
I really like Jacobi/TFD’s restructuring of government with a President and Prime Minister. I also believe that there is a massive imbalance between the three branches of government. I also believe that there is too much role play in our eLaws and too much misalignment with game mechanics.
Alas, these worthy things are subordinate priorities in my platform. They will have to be deferred to another term or chipped away at as time and resources permit. Perhaps if I’m successful this term, you will allow me to pursue these next term.
Your daddy in national unity,
Addy Lawrence

How can you compete against a Platform such as Addy's.
Time for change and that change is with Addy
It is time for a leader who can actually DO the things he says he wants to do - not just offer platitudes to the people.
Nobody is more capable and has as deep an understanding as Addy in regard to eReponomics. No pie in the sky promises here!
Vote Addy Lawrence, I know I will!
This is a stirring challenge. Let's do this!
Good luck Addy.
I have a VERY important question!
What are your views on Penguins? Specify the Emperor Penguin. And how will he be involved in the cabinet (if he is) and if he is not then why not?
And last thing, if Penguin is not in your cabinet, then can he be the offical "Minister of Fish and Snow"?
That is all Penguin 🙂
As a member of the CPF, I find it odd I have been unmasked from your forums for quite some time.
Cypher Rahl for Addy's VP June 5 2010!
whatadoozie, you have to actually BE a member in game to have forum access. That part really helps legitimate your case. You haven't been a member in game for almost a month.
When a member leaves unannounced their masking is removed from the forums. No fair weather members plz.
\o/
awesome!
double awesome!
except that I had masking up until that tizzy between myself and an unnamed member.... Therefore, right before getting kicked out of the forums, I was doubly as active as usual.
It's all an excuse really.
@whatadoozie
and what's keeping you from naming names?
"What are your views on Penguins? Specify the Emperor Penguin. And how will he be involved in the cabinet (if he is) and if he is not then why not?"
James as the would be MoD I can assure you there will be many jobs that only penguins can perform in our war with France.
Finally PM goals that are reasonable. I either want insane or achievable goals.
Great platform, great articles.
im sorry, all these words, can you tell me again why you should be cp?? and use pictures this time?? with lots of colors??
Do you realy think that throwing thousands of gold into an useless war is a valuable strategy? Wouldn't this gold be better invested in our V2 fund? And please don't come with "If we don't figth now, we won't have Canada in V2", because this argument is moote considering the option of diplomatics.
I am very concerned about your plan to bring immigrants to Canada who want to kick some French ass alongside your appointment of the "very diplomatic" TFD as MoFA. That does not sound like sensible diplomatics to me and could cost Canada the reputation we build up for more than a year.
Although that sounds like the change Jacobi is talking about, it is not a CHANGE I can believe in. 😉
as you said in another article dr pain. you ARE the status quo.
if you don't see closing the war as Canada's #1 priority then you are a fool.
Beatles or Rolling Stones?
Go Addy!
I see closing the war as #1 priority and therefore i want to see it closed and not cemented for months to go on.
@saltydog
I'd tell you all except in my opinion- it'd be like sabotage 😛
Not that I'm against sabotage, I've attempted it before against the same guy I had the tizzy with, but the last time I went about my business, the blame went to somebody else, which really wasn't fair at all.
Soccer or Cricket?
What can be done to bring new faces into government?
We must end the DAL war before the DAL war ends us.
Addy is the man!
Canada has had it with the status quo! Whether it is the non stop Executive Orders, lies to congress in order to accomplish campaign promises, executive inaction or blind congressmen voting how they are told by their party leadership - the buck has to stop somewhere...
...and that somewhere is at Addy Lawrence's feet.
\o/
you have my vote addy
Tyler or Addy, who ever answers first:
How will Addy control the voting behavior of congress and how will this clash with the checks&balances system that TFD holds so high?
Unlike the DAL, the CPF has NEVER believed that it is the prerogative of the Executive to "control" Congress.
All we have EVER asked is for a return of the check & balance of the two bodies being independent which began to deteriorate in the Derek Harland administration - not so much Derek himself, but his appointed "ministers".
These days the Executive practically considers the Legislative as it's subordinate.
This must end - for the sake of democracy!
lol democracy.
That would be role playing and not in the game rules.
Does this mean that Tamas endorses having a CP intentionally mislead the congress and force them to declare war via an executive order for the specific purpose of denying the legislative body at LEAST the courtesy of 24 hours to debate the situation?
We now have our very own Vietnam War because of the DAL!
We can't forget that the DAL lined up like kids at the ice cream truck to help fast track this war that nobody seems to be able to close.
As we stand - we have lost the initiative...
haha TFD a little early to call this one Vietnam
It became our Vietnam War when Congress was lied to and forced to declare war upon France.
That was our Gulf of Tonkin incident.
"fast track this war that nobody seems to be able to close."
We have the option of closing it now for less than the cost of initiating a single battle. It's practically free.
Then why is it still open Dade?
Dade?
