Choices, Hello and Goodbye

Day 3,885, 15:43 • Published in USA USA

Hello everyone! It’s me, your friendly neighborhood cat (who may or may not bite.) I left this game a bit over two years ago, and returned a couple months ago. I’ve noticed a few things upon my return. We are wiped. The most obvious, and frankly the most important: we are divided, and I noticed that my beloved WTP is not the same as it was before. WTP will always be a treasure to me. Memories are treasures we hold deeply and closely. I learned personal strengths and weaknesses from my part in WTP. I am proud of my part in WTP. I am saddened that her day has come, but really for a party built upon a successful ATO, I think she shined most brightly and gave us all a good run for the time being.

Suddenly one day things began happening. Wiped countries do not have a Congress. We do keep a Shadow Congress though. On that night AMP’s party numbers jumped up enough to make then the 5th party, and WTP the 6th. Now I am not going to rehash all this, but as some of you know through the course of a week these actions told a story. Not a pretty one honestly.

I kept thinking we are better than this. We can be better than this. It’s true too. There are so many bright minds in the eUS. Many people willing to help and do what must be done. Just how to get us on the same page? Honestly, I had not a clue.

Then PiginZen decided it was time to do something. After reading his article A New Start and discussing varying things with him I was lead to one conclusion. This is what I want to be doing in eRepublik. This is the path I feel I must follow. And ultimately I hope the nation realizes this is a path we all need to take.

So I shall be leaving WTP, and joining E Pluribus Unum. I hope we can do grand things there, and make a real difference in the eUSA. I hope we make things better. And mostly, I hope we make things fun.

Yours truly,

Thank you, Mazzy! I won't forget this. It takes hope and faith to make things work (along with effort).

Of course! I believe in your vision.

what I find interesting is that PIZ's idea is a lot like what Gnil proposed when re-branding the USWP ... one very important difference though, no fluffer to erect obstacles.

Differences is what is important in this game (imho), how you go about handling them is the key to success. As V2 neared release and the ruling class decided to tank the economy to drive off players (successfully), is the defining decision to the present state of the eUS and likely the game itself.

I hope to change the course of history. Apparently there are others that agree with that vision.

Good luck to you Mazzy Cat and E Pluribus Unum...

Thank you very much 🙂

Members of the Constitution Party were being asked to "help out" and join AMP to help bolster the numbers. This is all orchestrated by the senior long time players and all of the drama they carry. We will continue to stay wiped until we MAGA and elect some new leaders that are not apart of the "usual suspects". Feel free to check us out at the U.S. Alternative Party. We have some really different ideas and it is totally chill.

Your skepticism is understandable. It is important. This is not a short-term offer, this party. It will be here if and when you're ready to join us. This is going to be different. I am willing to elaborate further if you would like.

Good luck and, above all, have fun!

So why is a new party needed, rather than working through an existing party?

PigInZen Day 3,885, 18:56

I can name a couple of reasons. Existing parties carry with them institutional baggage and ingrained habits. It's specifically this baggage and habits that I want to change. By ditching these parties people are making a conscious decision to leave behind old power structures and allegiances. I'm not asking for personal allegiance but rather to an ideal of cooperative play and democratic discussion and decision making.

Did that answer your question?

George Barker Day 3,885, 19:45

Existing parties also have members who might just quit altogether rather than go through the hassle of change. There's value in re-directing inertia rather than trying to create it from scratch. Something the "elites" ought to have known before starting this disastrous war.
