Speaker of Canada
TheSmoke
Well things are pretty slow in Canada right now, thanks government?
So let's just yell at each other in the comment section below...
Ok well maybe not, however this month has been slow I know, and quite boring in terms of stuff going on, but let's take from it to not elect an inept player as Speaker...
I am all for getting new fresh blood in the position of speaker to help build a future Canadian community, but when someone has been playing for almost 4 years, we should expect better.
- First and foremost, this is a damn community game, so I believe we can conduct ourselves without referring to other members in derogatory ways, as Speaker Rolo is doing so currently.
- Activity, Rolo started the Deputy Speaker thread on Dec 29, and didn't appoint a deputy until 9 days later, who has yet to even create a forum account. Both the appointment and delay are violations of our bill of rights! I plead the 5th!
- Conflict of interest, CRoO states Article II, 1. That the Speaker may not be the PP of a political party, yet there he is PP of CCP...
- Maintenance, Muglack and Addy were both active cleaning up the forums, and bringing attention to subjects or concerns to help stir communication. Rolo has failed at even cleaning up and archiving topics.
I look forward to the dances some people will do to address these issues. All I ask is that next election, instead of towing your party line simply because it is your party and your party must win at something, you make your decision based on some actual thought process.

Is anyone really still playing this game or just going through the motions
I checked out a couple weeks ago
Shoulda voted yes to the NE with Spain
Ya, you've been missed Cris, for realz
There is very little game left to this game. As far as the actual game is concerned, all that's left is pounding the fight button repeatedly. It's even gotten to the point where people don't care about military strategy, about getting wiped anymore, they just want a fight with slightly more purpose (as if there's still such a thing)... just as long as it's not the same wars we've always been fighting.
Freedom Fighter & Mercenary medals. 5 gold each. The only thing the game is good for. Everything else, especially politics, a complete waste of time. Log on, find someone to fight for, pound the fight key, log off. Fifteen minutes a day, it's all good and move on to far better games.

There are better games? what is this intarweb you speak of?
Supported. 100%
Also, why ban CptChaz for breaking rules when Rolo himself is breaking rules? Hypocrisy.

Check back in. 😃 You won't find this on the forum. Because quite frankly I'm sick of the stagnation. eCAN needs some balls and needs to help it's allies. eFrance is an ally. Why stand idly by and collect tax money for the 13 regions we have. Grow some balls get out there and fight.
My prediction is the NE will be voted down, you will be banned from the forums that you don't even use, and nothing will have really changed. I agree Canada has become stagnant, and something needs to happen, but I think there are better more effective ways to approach this, and build war plans.
To each their own though.
Come at me bro! Why would I be banned from the forums? Did I commit an offense on the FORUM? This is why no one plays this shyt game anymore. This is why we can't have nice things. Too bad, so sad....
lol I don't want to punch my computer screen though 🙁
Why did you run for Congress then? To press one button and collect your 5 gold?
Last time I was in eOffice I proposed nothing and abided by the rules. Truth be told I asked the CP on election day and he said not now and we'd talk about it. Well I took matters into my own hands. Screw the courts. The only thing left in this game is WAR. If the meta-game is all that important then I feel sorry for you guys. eFrance is getting hit on by eSpain and eUK. What's the point of having an MPP if you don't help in any other way? At one point eCan had over 2k players. Now nearly less than 1k. This game is dying if not already dead. There's movers and there's shakers. Once in awhile I'm both.
P.S. The vote is currently 5-1. I won't be pinging anyone in PMs. Let the chips fall where they may. Stop politicking. I'm a Patriot. Are any of you?
There's being a patriot, and there's throwing the country under the bus. eUK or eSpain is going to come knocking. Whether we answer the door or not, they'll bust it down and sit on our couch for another 18 months.
Declaring yourself a patriot is like calling yourself call. Nobody should believe it just because you said it.
Also, I don't just believe it. My pet beaver said he saw you drinking Aunt Jemima with your doughnut at Timmy's rather than the traditional patriotic drink of maple syrup and seal blood.
*calling yourself cool.
How dare you Chochi? Chance Harrison IS a Patriot!
And he's got the True Patriot damage for 13 different countries to prove it.
Looks like I was wrong about him. There's no way he could pull that off without seal blood coursing through his veins.
TheSmoke is wrong.. Good job!!
@TheSmoke I hope you don't predict any sports game and wager any bets. Looks as thought my proposal shall pass. 😃 Muglack look at my eCAN TP damage you wanker. I hit for tons before the silly TP tracker as well. I stand on guard for thee. Remember this is a game. HAVE FUN!
It wasn't me!
🙂
I standby my vote and I also feel this is political grandstanding on your part.
"The Speaker may not become a Cabinet Minister or Party President or Country President without resigning the position of Speaker."
PP elections are coming up. He was elected LAST TERM. Had he become PP this Month I would agree with you. Please read MAY NOT BECOME part of the sentence.
Please remember that there are overlapping time issue when it come to the political module within the game.
Jonathan Edwards is from my party yes, but he is a new player looking to try and take a position that needs to be filled, which I think is a pretty boring position to begin with. So why not try and develop new players instead of the same old ones?
I agree some mechanics in this game are F**cked, but all he has to do is resign from the party. Picking and choosing which rules we want to enforce is a bad approach to government IMO.
No RULE has been broke here mate.
The PP election is in 2 Days. If he was to win, then he would have resign if he wanted to be Speaker.
Again, he won the PP Election LAST Month.

dSpeaker issue
I cannot speak for another. I have no clue as to what the speaker is thinking. The decision is his.
The political process has not failed here. You are just not happy with it.
Actually I didn't win the PP elections last month. Through no fault of my own I was appointed through game mechanics as PP when Pat Harper resigned. If I were to resign, I risk my Top 5 Party falling into a Potential PTOers hands... Which is a significant risk to eCanada... However, should the congressional body still seek my removal, the Deputy Speaker can oversee any vote
"The Speaker may not become a Cabinet Minister or Party President or Country President without resigning the position of Speaker." Pat resigned as PP of CCP over 10 days ago. This means Rolo became a PP, but did not resign as Speaker. The CRoO does not define the process in which one becomes PP, so I don't know how else to interpret this?
I see now we have entered The Twilight Zone of the CRoO
I'll interpret it Smoke, My ruling is that I'm safe unless I become elected PP on the 15th
lol dammit ROlO !

@Rolo;
Whether you "win" the PP election or not is irrelevant, the law uses the word "become". You lose.
@SGT;
The spirit of this rule is to prevent a conflict of interest. Timing is irrelevant. If you become Speaker, there is precedent that you shed the responsibilities that put you into conflict. I agree, the wording is weak, and to move more into the spirit of managing conflict of interest it should read something like "Speaker cannot concurrently hold office of Party President, President or Cabinet Minister". The letter of the law isn't broken but the spirit certainly is.
The Clan Wolf known now as Communist Party is not the same since the PTO attempt. I was looking for a party to call home far from all the bullshit, and thinking myself if it is time to leave, but to where? All Canadian politics seems poised. There is not room for new players and the best I can do it is keeping the two clikc-mode
@ Addy
When called to vote in Congress on the legality of an issue I don't look to the party for answers. I use all we have... the written law. Like it or not I have always voted to uphold the written law.
What you and I deem as spirit could be miles apart from the authors intent and then becomes nothing but debate.
This current issue will resolve itself in two days. Which will be fast than debating this in Congress and then bringing it to a vote.
I believe all is not lost here. This has been a poor session this month, maybe a rewrite to clean the language up could turn this session to positive note.
Honestly this doesn't really reflect on Rolo at all. If anyone thought he would do it any differently, then that was a mistake. This reflects on all who voted for him and expected it to be different, hypocrisy at its finest.
Chance is giving himself to much credit.
Rolo is Rolo is Rolo so ya. Nothing unexpected.
This game is kinda silly, the forums are kinda silly, but here we are. It is what it is.
TWO won. Lets kill something now, it'll make me feel better on the inside.
What am I giving myself credit for other than having balls? :😒hrugs::

and saying go fuc* yourself really helps... lol
Was that the comment he made before deleting it?
it was not the only thing, he was trying to make a point this article creating animosity
creates*
Pretty weak article and an obvious troll atempt. If you want to play these foolish games Thesmoke were more than willing to start playing dirty again regardless of who's in the CP chair. Its up to you if u want things to go down like that.
Thought we were all trying to play nice this month guess that lasted all of one week. Its been noted that were back to playing dirty politics. excellent timing to right before PP elections.
Next time maybe make congress complaints in congress instead of making an obvious play to discredit your opponents. Just remember this moment and who fired the first shot.
Thats an interesting story!
Well TheSmoke, you know you've trolled good and well when the Trolls come out and troll you for trolling their Troll friend.
Now back under the bridge where we can't hear or smell you Rylde, that's a good lad.
Oh, thank goodness, Rylde! I was getting bored with you acting all nice.
Thank you, TheSmoke! You've done eCanada a great service by giving Rylde the opportunity to take a small thing and use it as an excuse to go ape shit. I can't wait to see what crazy shit he comes up with next!
The timing couldn't of been better.
Yeah, could you imagine if he'd written this article only after the PP elections? Now you can pretend that whatever you try to do them is justified instead of you being a giant jackass.
just tossing the dog a bone...

The dental corps do not take lightly to such insults!
