Questions from yesterday's article
CrazyMofo13: How can you compete against a Platform such as Addy's
Easy, you have to be transparent, be vulnerable and put yourself out there, be candid, and be accountable to yourself.
James McNamara: 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"
In the words of The Tragically Hip, "the emperor penguin, devotion to the egg". I am totally for devotion to the egg, planning and building for the future. You reap what you sow. Abandon the egg and it freezes and dies. Little Man Bonds are my devotion to the egg!
I am considering a National Unity Privy Council that will have the Minister of Teh Lulz, Minister of Penguins, Minister of Kittenz, General of Friday Night Fights, and MC of eCanada Can Has Talent. You're a lock for a cabinet post JM!
el supero coolio: im sorry, all these words, can you tell me again why you should be cp?? and use pictures this time?? with lots of colors??
The worst of the walls of text are behind you, concise articles now. Stomp-Elysees. Titanium Tycoon. Little Man Bonds.
Dr. Pain: Do you really 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 fight now, we won't have Canada in V2", because this argument is moot considering the option of diplomacy.
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.
First off, gold needs to be spent to participate in training wars so the only cost of the eFrance war is the cost incremental to that of a training war. I believe that eCanadians want to fight on a regular basis and would prefer to fight in a meaningful way. Ending the eFrance war is a meaningful fight. The war exists, this is spilled milk, I will not debate the merits of opening the war, the fact is its open and it poses a threat and I freely admit that it is a dormant threat AT THIS TIME. I am asking for a mandate to end it. If that is not a popular notion then I will not be successful, I respect your opinion.
I participated in saving 1,000 gold in Chucky's term for v2 and I participated in saving another 1,000 for v2 in Derek Harland's term. Energy should be spent on planning and execution for v2, not saving more money. It is time to start laying concrete plans for v2. I've laid out the framework developed with my CPF colleagues and I've witnessed that it is the blueprint for the v2 Ministry's mandate. I have a very specific 120 member plan laid out for the Praetors, I could replicate this quite easily for a larger number of members. The question is, are people willing to buy into it?
Not all the people in eCan fighting the eFrench will be citizens, some will be transients. I agree that there will be pressure on CSIS to keep undesireables out. I consider the alternative, occupation, and its a risk I'm willing to take. I also have been advised that I'm foolish to think that eCanada alone can end this war so I am open to having transients here who will kick ass. They will buy our food and gifts and guns and work at our companies. This is not a bad thing.
PimpDollaz: Beatles or Rolling Stones?
Rolling Stones. Better drugs, better women, longer lives.
Dr Pain: Soccer or Cricket?
Soccer. I know how to play it and less people died last year.
Jacobi: What can be done to bring new faces into government?
Second Vice President! I implemented this in the CPF and it is paying HUGE dividends. Scotty Wilkinson, Auk Rest and CrazyMofo13 have each been the CPF's Second Vice President of the party. Its a huge confidence booster and these young guys do a lot to revitalize the leadership of the party. I've been holding back on this one but I am looking for a Second Vice President, someone young who has never been in Cabinet before, who isn't afraid to get thrown into the deep end of the pool.
How will Addy control the voting behavior of congress and how will this clash with the checks&balances system that TFD holds so high?
Nobody controls the voting behaviour of congress. If I am elected to office with a convincing mandate and respect the institution of congress and will earn their confidence and I will have influence with them. It will be my responsibility to maintain that confidence and use that influence. Nobody should expect to control congress, even a Party President with 30 seats in congress.
The Campaign Trail
Congratulations eCanada, you have brought down the wall, the wall of text. My "word picture" is now truly worth a thousand words, it summarizes the walls of text you brought down. A major shout out to saltydog for the tool to generate the graphic.
If you are looking for a concise summary, here it goes.
I will run a clean campaign. I will also post my campaign ads in this paper to verify the source of my ads. I ask that my supporters post a comment in my articles when linking their ads to my articles. No campaign ads will go unauthored.
I seek a mandate to improve eCanada in three ways:
One, Stomp-Elysees: End the eFrance War with honour by July 4, 2010.
Two, Titanium Tycoon: Stake a claim for eCanada as the premier titanium producer in erepublik by upgrading companies and funding export licenses.
Three, Little Man Bonds: Provide our young citizens with wealth in a bond issue on June 15, 2010.
I will do all these things by:
-behaving positively
-building national unity wherever my sphere of influence permits
-recommending a 10% war tax; and
-staffing my cabinet with dynamos and reliable, steady performers.
I would really like to cap things off by recording eCanada’s first Hat Trick and achieving each of eCanada’s three National Goals.
Your daddy in national unity,

Addy, I'd like to put my name in the hat for the MoOL position.
I would change the official language of eCanada to James Brown.

Good god, kill it!
Yeah!

Why would France want to close the war with us? They have a lot of MPP's and their would be no real reason for them to close the war unless it is for money. They could easily join in on Phoenix war games.
Would you put me in a cabinet position, it's on my bucket list 😃
Do you believe in the goverment putting a V2 fund for goverment run Titanium companies?
Would you create a Gary Coleman day and would you help the guy find out what Willis was talking about?
If you want to recruit people to "kick French ass"😢I love French people, I am just quoting 😃 " how do you expect to recruit the large real life population of French Canadians? Are you going to exclude them?
Do you think Nea is doing a good job in office? Why or why not?
Do you support the USA keeping the original Indian region of Karnataka?
Would you participate in land swaps and holding of regions if for the benefit for Canada or EDEN? (USA keeping Karnataka)
Watch the video! Its awesome!

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.

DR.PAIN are you a REAL Canadian? I am pretty sure you too are an immigrant who is here kicking ass?
Canada is euro-centric now. REAL canadians have no pull.
Do you think the Central Bank of Canada will raise interest rates soon?
(nothing to do with the game)
I for one don't think so PimpDollaz.
Low interest rates increase money supply - which is needed to keep devaluing our CAD to maintain our export based economy.
Should the Euro zone continue to crumble, forcing investment to flee that region the next place it will go is the so-called "safe haven" of the USD - which as we all know is no safe haven at all.
Gold will rise and as the USD continues to devalue, investors will (as they have over the past 2 years now) continue to pile into the CAD and our commodities. We will HAVE to keep interest rates low to encourage the banks to expand credit (aka money creation) which will help keep our CAD from rising to far over the USD.
Of course, should the trillion dollar IMF bailout of the Euro Zone fail (the FED is 25% of the IMF so the US tax payer is on the hook for $250,000,000,000 of that) then the US stands to have a LOT of their inflation - which they have been exporting for decades return home - which could be potentially disastrous.
Gold n guns Pimp, gold n guns.
😉
Watching your campaign with interest Addy.
i disagree tyler i believe the bank of Canada must increase interest rates to curb inflation and the continued increase of the Canadian dollar against the greenback. As you say our economy is export dependent mainly on our largest trading partner the USA. The key to the Canadian economy is a low dollar versus the greenback.
damn, i just lost my entire comment and it was a long one 🙁
Cypher: Maybe it came out worng. I am against anti-fench propaganda around the world to get immigrants to figth for us. Rigth now nobody cares about this war and we can close it for the laughable sum of 150g. I believe that this is the fastest and cheapest way to close this threat. There is no shame in taking this deal. France will not close this war for free. Thinking that they would figth with less honour than us is ridicolous.
My questions for Addy:
1. YOu said that this France war saves us the costs for a TW. How much is the cost difference between this war and our good old Sol TW?
2. Do you plan on paying the EDEN fees for battles you do not want to participate in?
3. How will EDEN react when you tell them that Canada will no longer figth on their side?
Crazy good thread. Isn't it classically "Guns and Butter" TFD?
I'm going to bet on the side of continued low interest rates as long as the C$ is close to par with U$. I think the announcement that the Bank of Canada wouldn't guarantee low interest rates is all they will do now, hoping to control the inflation with "jawboning". If we use an analogy of the use of interest rates to control inflation as steering a car, though, Canada has steered way over to the side of the road for a while. Sooner or later they will want to get closer to the middle of the road so they have the option of lowering rates again at need.
Well Rainer N, we have to keep our CAD low in order to be able to export. Should the Euro continue to slide - so too will the USD.
Harper's trip to Europe 2 weeks ago was for the purpose of thinking towards a drastic drop in US trade due to their inevitable economic contraction. The DOW has lost 1,000 over the past 10 days to 2 weeks...
However the US will only fall after the Euro, so to think that we'll have a Euro market to compensate for the lack of US market activity is, well...completely illogical. Plus - he still has Jim Flaherty - a man I wouldn't invest with if my life depended on it.
Nope - we'll have to continue the trend of devaluing our CAD just to be a feasible raw producer/exporter to collapsing economies. Don't forget, there are few ACTUAL Canadian companies in that sector anyways. Most domestic producers fell to labour tax credits which were induced to attract foreign investment. With the US contraction in raw extraction over the past 3 years the Chinese gov't has moved in to continue strip mining our back yard, continuing the tradition of gutting our economic power without any net benefit to us - Canada.
Even Switzerland has devalued their currency to keep up with a crashing Euro and USD - and the Swiss haven't done that in over 200 years...
The only time they'll raise rates will be when the devaluation is no longer a factor - aka our traditional markets have no ability to find 1st world markets for product. Also, when enough credit has expanded to the point that a greater chance of acquiring hard assets via foreclosure stands to benefit the banks. Remember how many trillions of USD the FED added to their balance sheet during the crash of '08 and the subsequent collection of acquisitions to Maiden Lane III.
Guns n butter, sure Devilcarrier maybe - but gold doesn't hurt either!
My god, I agree with addy, lets stop this silly war of EDEN's making.
2. Do you plan on paying the EDEN fees for battles you do not want to participate in?
Will EDEN start paying us for participating?
3. How will EDEN react when you tell them that Canada will no longer figth on their side?
Probably how decent eCanadians reacted when eCanada was put into immediate danger as a decoy by a war profiteer acting for EDEN.
Actually Tamas - thats the illusion - this ISN'T EDEN's war.
We were lied to.
Sweet! Im in the cab! 😃
nice article as always addy, keep up the good work 😃
So who's war is it?
Surely not a war for bond profit?
Is it clean? Does it sparkle??
Er...meh
The fact its been called clean since day one is dirty by nature.
