Have You Been Entertained? (dictatorship)

Have You Been Entertained?

We are now firmly into a dictatorship.

As you remember everyone was so bored with dictatorship last time we decided that risking a foreign coup was preferable to living another day under this game killing mechanic .

When I say boring I’m not talking about clicking the ever exciting fight button 500 times in 10 minutes. I mean the CP election means nothing. I mean the congress election means nothing. Your party is a pointless entity.

Why are we back here?

Well Rylde did not get the speaker he wanted in congress and went on a 2 day rant that ended with him blowing the whole thing up by pushing the coup button. God forbid he does not get his way just once. Remember the last speaker was from his party as well, Muglack. Someone I believe I even voted for.

Why did people support Rylde?

Besides those who just like free tanks, the reason I was given was the coup was supported for the entertainment value.

That answer made me scratch my head. I never met anyone who even likes the dictatorship module except the dictator himself, so what entertainment value is there?

Then I saw that Rolo had crawled out from under his rock and was having the greatest time trolling around trying to get angry reactions out of people that did not support Rylde.



That is when it dawned on me the only entertainment value they get is our reaction to them. Think about it you are playing a game with people who just do stuff just to piss you off to get a reaction out of you.

Not much point reacting or playing with the idiots is there?

Clearly we can move back to democracy in a few weeks when the determination bonus gets big enough and we do a little fund raising but what would be the point? eCanada is invested with trolls that find pissing off everyone else is where their entertainment can be found.

If we were not here what would they do for entertainment? If we did not react to what they did they would get zero entertainment out of it.

When you ask people why they play this game it always comes down to community and not the game itself. Well it is time people started to take more responsibility for their community.

Seriously if your only way to get your entertainment out of this game is to damage the community and watch the reaction, soon there won’t be any community left for you to abuse.

As I just mentioned, winning a revolution will be fairly easy but without a functioning community, there is no point. If congress does not take action to protect the community from Rylde’s next temper tantrum we will right back here in a few months any way.

Demand our congress make the changes necessary so after we win the revolution we will not be going back to Dictatorship based on a single well healed individual’s personal whim.

That means having defensive funding available against all coup’s either domestic or foreign unless that coup is approved by a 66% majority of congress or a CP election. By that I mean the CP ran in the election based on becoming a dictator and he won the election.

After the coup I wanted to run for CP and pushed the button but now I realize there is no point going back to democracy until we have a system that fights to maintain democracy. If Rylde wants to piss his and our money away again that his choice, but we will not be rolling over, ever again.

The election that matters will be the congressional. If you support democracy, only support parties committed to it. Vote for parties willing to set aside the funds and the fast acting mechanisms to defend it.

Yours Respectfully
