[CW] An open letter on the state of things.
Oinyo
Not to be too rude but there is a reason eCan is such trash where as other countries are thriving and getting into the mega alliances..
I mean look at Ireland. We are very close to losing our best ally to Spain,Poland,UK and the states. Why? Because they are loyal and they are rational.
We keep flip flopping how we lead the country showing that we can not be trusted. This is why so very few like us in the eWorld and even fewer help us or are willing to openly side with us.
People may call the game boring and call people like me c*ck suckers or boring idiots but if you flip the coin.. People that lust war and make terrible choices are the reason we are where we are. The game of course is boring because we have so little choice when it comes to influencing the world. Any time we start to make progress someone leads a charge to attack a large country to get us wiped. Then people leave, Other countries laugh at us as they unite and get stronger and we fail more.
We are more and more alone. Being separated from everyone around us. Our allies being taken away and us to be the next France if not worst.
TheSmoke is a rational person that has very good decision making skills. Until we get a strain of those types of people in office we will continue to be the fail country we are.
Put your stupid pride aside. Open your blind eyes and see us for what we are. A small country trying to play with the big boys while refusing to use any form of common sense.
no o7, No hyuu. Just a hard slap in the face. Wake the hell up eCan and lets start using our brains.
We are losing and we are failing.
Stop with the suicidal idiocy and lets rebuild for more than 2 months before we attack a brotherhood 300 times our size and power.
Just my 2 cents. Hate me or love me. Just deal with the truth because you can thump your chests all you want. In the end as you are seeing. We are once again being left behind.

~hyuu~ or if you prefer, ~fkuu~
I find it strange that you claim our foreign policy has been inconsistent, when the Executive Cabinet has kept recycling the same players for months now.
But an Executive Cabinet - with the same faces, becomes a bit schizophrenic when it's leaders keep changing the directions they receive.
True, but that would lead me to question the usefulness of these individuals?
I agree with JE, with that experienced first hand, it's not easy to work with different types of CPs when concerning FAs, as most have different views and preferences of where they'd like to see eCanada.
We can only work with how other nations see us, as well as having a strong MoFA, something eCanada has almost never had.
i think shoi was a pretty good mofa. or at least, the only one that sticks in my memory
Our political class has not been renovated. I do not mean that having experience players dealing with subjects of utter importance like foreign affairs is a mistake. However, there are not new players willing to be involve with the political module. I have been changing political parties, but my last PP that looks not excellent but fair, was take over by trolls and clowns. It looks there is not interest in our community to make accountable those who are in control, and lead us from boredom to worse.
Unfortunately most around these parts seem to love the macho clowns who are often at the top of the pile in this country. Has been a long standing problem in this country that only gets worse with each action like this as the more sane among us leave in frustration.
lol n ice try been awhile since a macho clown was in power
I said macho clown, not a DRUNK macho clown, don't worry, I know it's been a while for you.
Your comment still holds nothing even though you insult me. It has been sometime since we had war leaders and macho's as u call them in charge.
don´t you want to come here an grab your beer?
So you're saying our Spanish, Polish, English campaign was doomed to fail from the start? ...... Did not see it coming myself. I was away.
one time i trusted a girl and she broke my xbox
Why is it that you suck up to other countries but you admonish your fellow citizens?
Because we are like the guy in Blazing Saddles who points the gun as his own head to get the town to back off, except we actually pull the trigger.
During my term I was trying to keep the peace so that we could build up more. Do things political.
We were getting a large influx of players from other countries coming in and I had a serious fear that we would just rewipe and lose everyone.
Also being buddy buddy with other countries does not equal sucking up to them. It is being politically savvy. It is a known strategy that every leader has used since the beginning of time. Otherwise you end up like 80% of the cast in A game of thrones. Dead, cast out or useless.
I know this is a game but seriously.. Use the brain and see what successful countries are doing.. It sure as hell is not what we tend to be doing.
Why is your strategy of being politically savvy only applicable to foreign relations and not your own people?
? I dont understand. I tried the nice route and if you remember anything from the last year and 2 months all it did was make me a door mat to not be taken seriously.
I do and run things as much as I can like they are done in real life in the same positions. It seems many want to stick to failed systems such as 1 man handling everything without delegation or departments in charge of their own taskings.
In any case this is starting to get off topic. I do try to stay as pleasant as I can but at the same time I do speak out when I feel we are wandering towards a fork in the road as we are going to see in the next elections.
Well said.

Bingo! That can be changed but it takes concrete goals and hard work. Muglack flirted with it recently I think.
OK, you're a cock sucker and a boring idiot. 😛
Seriously though, One reason I came here is because people actually do stuff. Herky jerky as it is, at least it's not stagnant. I know what it's like to be wiped and have no resource bonus, I also know it's hard to hold peoples interest. On the other hand, running around looking for some big country's skirts to hide behind is exactly what the UK does. If Poland and Spain had not jumped in we'd be in charge of them. Another thought is that America snuggling up to Poland/Spain reminds me of CTRL. I was in US Congress when the "powers that be" went around everyone and shit on allies.
FWIW, my personal opinion is that the safe bet is to follow the US lead. Problem is they are off the reservation when jumping into bed with traditional enemies. Nothing happens on the alliance radar and then all of a sudden *boom*. Timing is everything and we simply timed an attack on UK wrong. So now, in hind sight, we should have attacked Ireland?!? That would have ruffled feathers in our neighbor to the south also. Maybe we should align with the Ukraine and attack Mother Russia? lol
Agreed, whatever we do as far as joining an alliance needs done quickly. No offense but this had better be someone a little bigger than Asgard. For one thing, the reason they are left alone is that their 'wars' are mostly local squabbles and don't interest the big boys.
If I had the say of what to do...
> Clobber Spain and Poland as much as possible during the tournament.
> Assuming all is going well with the Spolish alliance, walk into the FA room briskly.
> Simply state that fun is fun but now shit is serious.
> Ask for a seat at the table.
> Explain that when the winds change direction that the ship takes a different tack, we are ready to talk.
> If they are dicks then just walk away like it never happened.
This, in my opinion is the best we could hope for, but what do I know?

\o/
Why is a guy like you in a party like the MDP?
I figure if I hang out with bigger troublemakers than me I'll go unnoticed. 🙂
Fair enough.. ahha 😛
You were way too rational to ever remain long as CP of Canada, Oinyo.
It's a nation best epitomized by Rob Ford on a binge. As long as it stays that way, Canada will remain... as it's been.
TL😃R
Go Home Oinyo, you're drunk.
lol 😛
Such negativity, it's a waste of time. I've tried it. eHappiness - or a lack of it - is an attitude, a choice. Sure we can play the game hard and to win and get some satisfaction from our successes but there's a lot of countries and the world doesn't revolve around us. A lot of a time, a country our size is just a victim of larger circumstances far beyond any humble CP, Mofa or anyone else's control. You can choose to be bitter and point fingers or you can find ways to keep it light and bide your time for when the world is kinder to us. You used to be pretty good at it Oinyo. Did the MDP finally just wear you down or did the taste of power turn you from Happy Oinyo into Dark Oinyo? Your thick skin has been breached!
Lol I have always once in a while posted a serious post/article when times needed it 😛
But do not worry. I get it out of my system and always go back to the level headed Oinyo that makes fun vids. "I bet you didnt know I made 7 vids in the last 2 weeks!" lol
At the very least these articles are to get people thinking. As I mentioned I know its a game but with the time we all invest into this game. I would like to see us moving forward more than backwards.
Or perhaps I am just the lone insane person thinking that doing politics correctly will work in a virtual game lol 😛
those who were in charge of Canada while it existed on the map with all its regions had the responsibility to keep it at least that way. As in real life Canada cannot go to war on its own, we don't have the numbers, thus we always support our allies.. bored in game (game is broke anyway), no bonuses , sure find something to do but not at the cost of being wiped off .. just saying
Nah Canada is fun because it's the only nation who does shit for the sake of 'why the fuck not' and that's why I love it, it's boring playing by rules in a broken game and realistically we function better wiped 😛
Cause we got balls 😃
And we are the laughing joke of the eWorld. Failing is fun! Being losers is incredible fun! lets suck forever and never improve.. hell we havent been in a decent alliance in 2 years and in 2 years not a single decent country has bothered to put their allegiance in us..
Just saying. We can be losers or we can wake up and be winners. When you are bored with being a loser Pat just let us know and we can start turning this crap around.
nah, I'm winning. I have 250 Q6 moving tickets, plenty of weapons and true patriot medals coming in like there's no tomorrow. We arn't losers by any standards, better to be in a country where we can not give a fuck than a country that sucks off its enemies so they don't get wiped because of precious bonuses. Get angry at the admins if you wanna get angry, this wipe ain't my fault nor anyones fault. Main thing is we had some fun and we might as well make light of it cus ya know... its a game....
Quit rufflin ye feathers ya big girls blouse
I'd argue that we are the only small nation making things interesting for citizens. eCanada is not. Want to sit still, that causes big problems.
