Hello again!
So I have taken it upon myself to be a little more "professional" with my articles. Sure, everyone else does that so why would I want to. Well to be honest I have no idea, evidently people love to see that in their articles.
I feel to start I must introduce myself, I am MrLaMarke, I go by Mr, LaMarke, Marke, MLM, and Gummy Bear (No idea). MrDoNade, is the alias I use when writing (on other mediums other than this) so I will stick with the name even if no one likes it!
I am a member of WTP and have recently ran for Party President with no hopes of winning, it was more of an 'I can so I will' than a 'I can win so I shall'. I have only been in the party for a short time and can already tell politics is heavy, like a dense fog in the morning when you are trying to get to the store, it can get in the way. It however does serve a purpose even if it can be dense, and in the way.
It seems the party is worried about PTOers, and following suit when the 'primaries' are won and resigning to help ease 'nerves'. Then there are messages to reserve your vote for ATO use. No do not get me wrong I fully understand the belief in why this system is used. However, ultimately it is destructive as hindering should always be the last option in the hat, not the one the magician uses at the very beginning with every next trick more mediocre than the last.
People should be able to vote on whom they like, not who they are told to (on both sides of the aisle (those seeking to change for good and bad). At what point does complex politicking become a war of its own where the 'possible security of the party at large' is threatened. At what point do we give up more of ourselves than we gain through this protecting ourselves? At what point do we realized, 'I have none left to protect for I have given so much to protect'?
Is there another system that can be used? Probably not, or more complex, however just think about it. If a party is to represent its members and the mass populace of the party wants to vote against what they are told (even if they are PTOers), at what point does it not become the place of the party to represent the majority even if it means in a direction we do not want? At what point does it become the protectors of the party are actually the minority and SHOULD lose? Because come on folks, there is no right or wrong, no road we are destined to take. There is only the popular choice, the popular road. And if we are living where we have to forgo personal choice in the name of party protection, what is there really to gain?
Anyways, enough rambling about things that do not matter. Have fun, get out there, and be all that you can be!
MrLaMarke/MrDoNade Out!
Comments
I understand your perspective. Before commenting further, did you participate or have the opportunity to participate in your party's primary?
I did not have the opportunity to participate, RL prevented me.
The forum is finalizing migration to a new server, I suggest you join in the discussions there, and engage your party for a few months before you ask them to put you in charge of everything. There is plenty that you can help with, and still loads to learn, you're only one week in.
Played before, talk to rainy sunday already told her. I want to get involved Hale knows this told him, and I did not expect anyone to vote for me as I stated. I plan on helping my MU, DoD, and Party. Have talked to all of them. Like I said have played before.
Unless you're going to direct us to your old account, we only have your current profile to use as a basis for judgement.
Told you so
It is ironic especially considering the fact that "WTP" was built off of Gnilraps seizing a huge sovereign party by brute force.
FIST
good luck, a lot of control freaks in this game and some are losing badily.....
