[CPF] The Reasoning

This one is for Tom Joad,



Reasoning: the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way.

I know I know, this is Canada, and heck, this is a game, right? So why in the hell should we use reasoning? Well, because most of us are not 14 year old high school students trying to stick our manhood in anything and everything that walks, and maybe talks. Instead we can still collectively act like some sort of country and come to a rational decision.

The recent events that played out in our Maritimes was the result of an organized, properly executed plan that was accompanied by a lot of luck from new game mechanics. Portugal and its allies were able to get multiple fronts open on Spain, and with some solid backing from hard hitting countries, sent Spain reeling. As many people may try and claim ownership of this successful campaign, the success does not fall on any political party in Canada.

The leader of a Canadian MU that was supplying CO’s for Canada openly admits that $1,000 was all they needed to keep D4 over the wall for several rounds. That is peanuts, and to those Canadians who actually stayed for most of our 8 month wipe, can attest that $1,000 would do very little in our previous attempts to fight Spain. I know, and am waiting for those typical citizens to come in here and flash their wallets and say “look at how much X player did, and Y player contributed this.”

It’s lies people, don’t let them sell you something that’s not yours. Portugal’s government is spending $800,000 dollars on this war, and that is only government money, not including all the money from private citizens and MU’s.

What we need to do is ask the people how they feel on this subject, which has not been done. An open debate, discussion and eventual referendum should be held, as the decision of a potential 8 month wipe should not be decided by one person.

Canada has proven to be reliable and trustworthy towards Spain, despite our ill treatment for the 8 months. There are several people here who can credit my efforts of trying to stick it to Spain during our wipe, I was adamant about getting North Eastern Venezuela up every time we tried to win a RW, along with many other efforts. But the truth of it is, nothing major has changed from a militaristic view point.

Instead, as Canadians we can be progressive, and at least try to seek out all potential options. If we collectively wish to try and stand our ground and hold back Spain, then I will see you on the battlefield Comrades. If we wish to avoid such a battle again, then we take a more diplomatic approach. Either way, we need to discuss this.

Let’s plan now, and reap the benefits down the road
