[DMV4CP] eCanada and the Three Bears!
DMV3
Everyone remembers the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, that's the story of this election. You have three choices;
Rylde
Despite our past, I believe Rylde offers eCanada a nice break from the boredom that can be eRepublik. He's a strong leader who offers eCanada a fighting spirit it often desperately need. The problem starts when he is elected during times where we need a stable government. Right now alliances are all up in the air and if elected Rylde has promised to start a war. During an alliance shake up this kind of recklessness will leave eCanada out in the cold without an alliance we need for a strong future.
Dozzer_x
Dozzer_X is one of the most qualified Statesmen eCanada has. He has the contacts and knowledge in Foreign Affairs to get Canada into a stable place in the world. If Dozzer is elected CP he will put us in a regional alliance with some of our closest friends. The problem then becomes the fact our closest friends are all small nations who will be the target of constant invasion by much larger nations. By ourselves these nations are too vulnerable to stand alone. These friends have our back and we have theirs, but at the end of the day we already have agreements to fight for each other and to protect each other from invasion. This choice lacks imagination and will leave eCanada and our friends vulnerable to long-term occupation.
DMV3
I have sat in the big chair three times in eCanada. I have contacts, friends, and assets in every one of the current alliances. I know many influential people not only among our friends, but among our current enemies. These types of relationships are essential to ensure eCanada has options when it comes to a future alliance. Today's enemies could end up being tomorrow's ally.
I have stated I do not believe a small regional alliance is in our best interest, and the reason for that is we have a huge target on our back. We have embarrassed several large nations militarily and for that reason we will need to have strong close allies by our side. The days of Canada being that small nation no one notices are over, we have become the giant killer. For this reason alone we will have nations looking to prove themselves by doing what others have not been able to do. At this point in time eCanada must step up our Foreign Affairs and maintain close relationships with our biggest friends. Now is the time for eCanada to join an alliance with the bigs boys. The eUK has always been included with the bigger nations and as a result they have always had a lot of support. This is what eCanada must do in order to transform ourselves from a small nation into a medium sized powerhouse.
This is your choice Canada. Do you want too hot, too cold, or just right? If you want just right you only have one choice, DMV4CP!

When in doubt, err on the side of awesome. RYLDE 4 CP.
If you want a long-term wipe without an alliance. You don't start a war during an alliance shake up. Have you not learned from our past?
I've learned I do not want to be a bitch-state of the Balkan super powers who barely give a damn what happens outside of Europe. A regional alliance based around our Atlantic neighbours would not be a small, powerless one like you suggest. Some of them are big hitters and don't despise us. Shared borders, shared interest, shared power.
I'd rather follow Rylde into Hell itself than suffer another month of your hand-flapping cult-like egotism.
Hey Dmv, Don't respond to Xander. If his IQ was two points higher he would be a tree.
If yours was 2 points higher, DWB, you'd still be a worthless douche. Take your fail somewhere else, ass-hat.
Xander is crying. little guy.
Troll harder, kid. Men are talking.
best of luck buddy. o7
Three great candidates. Hard choice.
not really
So, what you are saying is countries smaller then the big ones, for example Portugal and France, ATLAS, are good to defend you from an invasion, but not good enough to be part of the alliance Canada is in?
I didn't say that, I'm saying if all we do is join forces with small nations we're going to be susceptible to an invasion. Game mechanics do not favor small nations, so we shouldn't pretend otherwise.
"Game mechanics do not favor small nations..."
I respectfully disagree, at least as far as it concerns the war mod. Then game mechanics favor the team with the best credit card action. Four or five gold buyers that out spend a dozen on the other side win by simply doing more damage. Also it helps to have a bit of strategy and endurance to outlast the other sides desire to fight.
Funny thing... I seem to recall the last US wipe of Canada, our fortune seemed to turn when Portugal in the form of MEK MU favored us. (They may not have been the first but are the first that I noticed.) France did what they could but were having their own problems. Aussies have always been around when possible. Other countries/MU's started to take notice and everything snowballed.
The deciding factor from my stand point is when enough of our gold buyers started stomping the crap outta US gold buyers those wearing big boy pants took note. I had it explained many ways but perhaps the best was "You've shown that you have balls, you deserve our support.".
I don't want to totally rely on that one point but it is notable that Canada has been a polarizing factor lately. We should not forget that fact nor our friends who started the recognition ball rolling.
We kicked the eUS out with 1,000,000 cc, let's not mistake that with anything else. This game favors large nations over small ones mechanically. Being able to dump a bunch of cc on COs is the only thing that ever changes that.
Again, I have to disagree. CO's did not exists in several key battles that (I hesitate to say because of modesty but I must to make the point) were won simply because I sat and clicked the damn fight button for over an hour. (Not as cool as it sounds, quite boring actually.)
Damage 711,590,858 for Canada
Achieved while trying to defend British Columbia against USA on day 2,304
(That happened in a single round where Gnilraps and I duked it out.)
True Patriot Damage 14,446,192,455 for Canada
(This didn't just happen, it was bought and paid for.)
The importance of CO's became apparent after the war had turned to our favor. Yourself purchased a goodly pile of gold and fought hard in several battles. Along with other notable characters we laid down billions in damage. But it wasn't only the dramatic fights, it was our attitude toward the US that brought us favor. People responded to our GTFO mentality.
I for one do not wish to forget what got us this far. Friends, balls and credit cards to back up the balls.
"started stomping the crap outta US gold buyers"
"We kicked the eUS out"
Actually both of you have that incorrect. There was no stomping or kicking. While from time to time eCanada would free a region, we would quickly wipe you again. That process could have went on indefinitely. Yes you did have some big spenders but we have quite a lot more so that was not as big a factor as you make out. The truth of the matter is the eUSA freed ECanada of it's own free will in order to focus more on helping allies and stop wasting damage keeping regions that were mostly meaningless. While keeping you wiped was expensive it was manageable. Once again though it really wasn't worth it to maintain the wipe and we as a whole kinda got bored with it. While it's understandable that you two as politicians need to spin these facts into a "rah rah Canada" type thing, it just has no basis in reality. I will give you that eCanada is ballsy and fights hard, however that's not what freed you. The eUSA turning it's attention to other matters freed you.
Uh-oh, someone got a grazed epeen....
Morningblur, one of these days I will actually make public what happened that freed us. Let me tell you, it wasn't the eUS being nice. The truth is actually quite amusing.
Hey, sorry if you don't like the truth Xander, but facts are facts. Saying that Canada fighting for it's freedom had more to do with it being freed than the US simply getting bored and turning it's attention elsewhere is like saying that you simply don't like the taste of sperm. No matter how much you might want it to be true, in reality it's just not.
Take care now
lol Classy as always, douchebag.
morningblur, we've been friends quite awhile and normally I am interested in what you have to say. This time I think you are at least partially wrong. I will concede that if the US wanted we would still be wiped (probably not completely and we surely would have had a few Congresses along the way). The thing is, when you have tanks from the other side (I won't mention who because I'm not trying to 'prove' anything and don't wish to bring any repercussions) saying things like "You guys are f'in crazy!" and "Damn, why don't you just play dead and make a deal." it tells me that we got the right peoples attention, your people who were PAYING to keep us wiped. I also had information from some of your citizens that were unhappy with the crap, there was a general feeling that enough was enough. Added to that, most of the JCS people would have been fighting on our side if it wasn't that we were aligned with Serbia.
"While from time to time eCanada would free a region, we would quickly wipe you again."
Truth to be told it was seldom when you had us completely wiped. RW's of our regions were usually winnable simply because you place a high value on you 'extracurricular' bonus regions. Many times your people showed they were more interested in keeping Baja then stomping us.
But let's not open old wounds, this is water under the bridge. Canada is more interested than ever with a positive relationship with the US. I believe that both countries have done well to stay out of each others hair. It is in everyone's best interest to play nice. I did not bring this up to make a rift between us but to disagree with DMV.
"I also had information from some of your citizens that were unhappy with the crap, there was a general feeling that enough was enough."
That's well known. Even I got to the point that it was boring and my dislike of Canada runs deep. As far as the JCS goes, we hasven't been able to count on them in years now. They stopped fighting for the interests of the eUSA years ago so their opinion on it doesn't factor in a lot. They fight where they please as is their right.
You are correct in saying there's no point in opening old wounds. I just find the "rah rah Canada" stuff amusing. Canada is much like those folks who soup up lawn mowers for racing. While it may have a bit of speed when a massive amount of money is put into it, it's still only a mower and is better suited to cut the grass than to show off at the track.
Canada has a few good leaders like You, DMV, and several solid homegrown players. Honestly I'd like to see what you guys could do running a strong country.
Good luck to you and Rylde.
Good luck DMV, your record is pretty impressive in recent months.
Hopefully we can have both, close friends and big hitters. This is all speculation at present none can predict it. Personally I hope it is well balanced and not a TWO, ONE bore.
DMV you seem to have just as many people in power who dislike you as like you. Dozzer is loved by all.
Dozzer isn't even know by half of the people in power. I may not be loved by everyone, but I'm definitely respected by them. You can't respect someone you even don't know exists.
Nor can you dislike someone you don't know. Dozzer is not at a disadvantage here. He will be credible representative..
Credibility isn't the same as having pull with foreign governments.
I will give you an example, Smee is a very well known and polarizing figure, but I would say he has a lot more pull dealing with any nation than Dozzer would.
Smee4CP it is then, hm? 😁
Dozzer is loved by all ? Not from what I'v read
The last thing eCanada needs is yet another "Credible Representative" - The countries eHistory (The boring parts) is already FULL of those....
WE'RE GOING EDEN!
I will assassinate you if that happens!
Good luck from Norway DMV!

Vote for DMV!
You are fun, influential and hard working too. My support is with you. Good luck 🙂
I WANT IT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
I only logged into the skinner box here to say: Don't vote for DMV. He is... a various sort of expletives that I apparently am not allowed to say?
Anyways, I felt strongly enough about how bad he is, that I logged on just to say that. I'm sure DMV will be so proud to have this profound an effect on a human being.
That is all, citizens.
No, no, no -- G&3B is a story about a PTO intruder criminal who violated the Bear community with her wanton acts of breaking and entering, theft, destruction of property.
I didn't think you could be more of a hypocrite, but congrats -- you did it!
