You Don't Have to See the Whole Staircase...

Here's something to set the mood. *

*it's not actually music, but it's still awesome.



That ^ right there is absolutely fantastic....

We've come to the point now when our months of work have paid off. Let's go through the checklist, shall we?


- AFA has been taken from Ajay

- PTO voting power is a fraction of what it was

- Multiple candidates can run for CP without fear

- The Top 5 is secure

And most importantly, Unity is dead




A good portion of this victory is due to those who have run ATO over the last few months. People such as Kody5, Josh Frost, Blondeninja, Jefferson locke, and everyone that took the time to party jump and vote for the official candidates. This victory was a long time in the making, and could not have been accomplished without each and every one of you.

Now, in unity's aftermath, we have some new things to worry about. First of all, our collective mindset has been ATO-centric for so long, that I don't think any of us know how to run a country normally anymore. While fighting off the PTO, other things have suffered.



Let's be honest, things have fallen off during the reign of unity... Our country is wiped, our military can't compete with TWO, nearly every eUS "social program" is closed, USAF activity is at an all time low, Communication between government and non-government entities has decayed, etc, etc, etc...

In spite of all of those, what I find to be the absolute worst side-effect of these few months is the loss of community. I've done some to help us connect, but our community without a concerted effort, I doubt that we will ever be able to regain our previous glory....

We've made it a long way, but we've still got a long way to go....



.....Just take the first step.
