[Mann4CP] Who has the Time?
Mann551
Lots of room for running
Now that we have room to run, here's the plan:
I. Money
II. Military
III. Brutal Honesty
I. Money
It doesn’t grow on trees. I’d say taxes and country income, budgets and all this money has been the overall dividing theme of this past month.
The Country needs money to fund wars. People need money to buy weapons and fight.
A. Taxes
I would aim to allow congress to continue on in their current discussions involving taxes which would bring in a peacetime tax rate, and also a war time tax rate and with a reserve fund as well, approximately $300k. You can keep up and read about these discussions here and elsewhere on the forum in Open Door Congress.
B. Budget
My aim would be to bring back a budget for the eCanadian population prepared by the joint efforts of my Minister of Finance, the Comptroller, and myself as well as any applicable deputies. After this budget is made, it would be presented to Congress to be approved so that congress and the Executive could be on the same page (Imagine the possibilities). Once approved by Congress, the budget would be made public in an article.
Conclusion on Money
Not happy with taxes? Complain to congress about it during my term until the budget is formally approved.
II. Military
Let’s see… To be honest with you all, I haven’t been a Minister of Defence or CP so I really don’t know about this. I’ve never been a Minister of Foreign Affairs either. Without being any of those, I don’t know what it’s like to work with alliances, and I won’t know the goings on until I’m in office, and even then it will take a few days to catch up. That being said, I do have a solid line-up prepared for my cabinet, a lot of which are fairly new faces, but are also experienced, as they have been deputies. I have strong people lined up for the MoD and MoFA, so my inexperience in those fields should be covered fairly well until I get a better hold of things.
Anyhow, onward with the Military Plans. I know we all don’t want to be bored with no war and true patriots are all so lovely. If by the time I would be elected in we are in a war, then that will be the war we will focus on. On the other hand, if we aren’t in a war, I’ll try and figure something out with the help of my Minister of Defence, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Vice President. I will NOT encourage the NE of the U.S. or Argentina or France or Portugal. Depending on the state of Ireland/U.K. I might try for a training war, or maybe an Airstrike somewhere else in the world. We will see, but I won’t make promises that I’m not sure that I can keep. I know, I know. That’s not how politics work. But that’s how I work, so deal with it. I will be continuing to look at any Airstrike potentials when I get into office. Whether that looks like continuing on anything DMV started or searching further for a potential airstrike target off of the work of the current administration so far.
III. Brutal Honesty
I do not have the personal finances in game to afford to fund a war. Private donations and Public Funds only. Nor do I have a job, hence why I have the time to be CP, so I won’t be spending a dime of real dollars to help the cause.
So finally, who has the time to be CP?
I do. I have the time!

Mann4CP: I have the time
better late than never I suppose
GL man you have my support. Might be time to let some new blood get there feet wet if we hope to let some of the old guard take a break.
you are level 41, division 2, and only 17,000 strength. Those are not liabilities, they are great reasons to consider giving you a shot so : Good show.
so briefly said, you got no real plans, you have no leadership skills (i know you very well), the only thing you have is the time...wish only that made you suitable to be a CP. But nonetheless i'd like to see you in a CP chair, hell, i'm even gonna vote for you. Because eCanada doesn't deserve better.
that is rich coming from you.
I guy who has tried to be CP so many times yet lacks any sense of tact (I know you very well), not to mention if one thing is said against you then you will fly off the wall 9/10 times. Though I gues by your logic you think eCanada deserves the worst type of CP so you would fit the bill very nicely
Would vote for Mann over you 14 times out of 10
no, you don't know me, you only judge a book by its cover. When i said i know him i meant it, because sadly he was a member of my party for a very long time, and he revealed his true backstabbing face recently, but that doesn't matter.
And when i said better, i didn't think about me, i'm not even running. But thanks anyway, when all this comes from a guy like you. Go and do what you do best, make couple of hundred of multies and help your friend win the elections.
How did I backstab? I was a member of our party, and I no longer agreed on the direction it was going in, so I left. I didn't do any damage to the party when I was PP except for that I was gone for a week when the 24th landed on the same week and didn't get to rearrange the listing. Other than that, I lost fair and square. I stuck with the party until some of the decisions being made I could no longer support. So I left. I didn't try to take anybody with me, I didn't smear the party name. I don't see how that's backstabbing
When I meant I knew you, you were in government with me and how sad you were at your job, I have seen for years how you go hay wire when people go against you, and have seen how you would operate as a CP.
Hey if I made multies to elect my friends at least I was doing something you never did, do something for someone else. (plato I do not intend this as an admission of guilt, just going along with a situation lol)
Look at this article, compare it with current MoD orders, and read all the 'negative' comments below, 'how sad were i at my job', just an example:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-mod-battle-orders-day-2361-2397688/1/20
But if you think i did bad, that's your opinion. Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. Still doesn't prove you know me. And for the record, i can bet on my life that i'd do better alone than you and Mann together.
As for you Mann, you just said the real reason why you unfriended me and left the party. It was not the reason you said when i directly asked you why. Which is the reason you lost my respect.
I just told you the reason I left the party, which I was never asked. You asked why I unfriended you in a pm months ago, I told you why and that reason hasn't changed. I didn't like the posts you were putting into my shout feed. Simple and easy.
Your crazy Mann some of those joke shouts are funny lol.
main reason people think that Punisher is a cool guy is his friend feed jokes. How superficial they are 😛
oh wow you copied the standard layout of the MoD, u so good!
@Beorn
Well now you're just grasping straws multi-boy. I've proved my point.
Mann, as everyone know, i'm maybe shouting dumb cheesy jokes, but some people find them funny, i find them funny too. And if you think that my intention is to offend anyone with those jokes, then you must be an idiot. Especially a guy who was my friend for quite long time. So this shout excuse is just lame. You could've ended it with honesty but you didn't. Simple and easy.
I'm not saying that people won't enjoy them. I'm just saying I didn't really enjoy them, and so I unfriended you. If you take offence to that, I can't control that. I'm sorry my unfriending you has put you in a bad mood for the summer thus far and has caused you to dislike me.
The only thing that's disappointing about you is that you're that kind of person who'd end a long friendship without saying a word, i really didn't think you were like that but well, i guess i've finally met real Mann after all these years.
I may be disappointed in you, but the disappointment really doesn't affect my opinion on you being CP. To put that aside, this is my most sincere opinion: I really think that you have no real plans; you lack leadership skills because you had the chance to lead our party few times, and i honestly think that your term would be one of the most boring CP terms in the eCan history.You're not ready to risk, you're inexperienced, you're not actually playing the game and you don't think outside of the box. It's only my opinion though, i do believe that everyone deserve the chance to prove themselves, so i will vote for you. All you have to do is to prove me wrong.
Your leadership and my leadership of the party have looked no different except that you occassionally wrote "Comment on this post and get some Q7 weapons". As for playing the game, How does one not play the game when they are on numerous times a day?
But, you are entitles to your opinion, as is everyone else. Your voice will be heard most on the 5th
lol your sense of humor and your 'time' won't be enough to get you in the CP chair i'm afraid. You're not honest either, because at first you were offended by my jokes (no matter how ridiculous that sounds), and then you said you didn't like 'em.Not liking something and being offended are 2 different things. And the real reason is something else, but nevermind.
You're publicly supported by the biggest cheater in eCan history, at the end i wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that you're just one of his multies. But still, if you really win, and i'd really like to see that happen, this country really deserves to crash and burn...which is going to happen if you win.
aww, I'm glad you remember my antics so fondly. Means so much ❤
Good luck and if you would like some FA or military experience before a future run let me know and we can get you a deputy position in Defense or Foreign Affairs to help you get your feer wet.
Thanks. Best of luck to you as well
Member of the Cult of Rylde tries to be portrayed as the only viable alternative to McVicker. This show wasn't any good the first five times either.
Please, Imperials or Frenchies, put up someone viable.
yes Frenchies, svp do something lol
Not one frenchie has even bothered to take part in congress and you expect one of them to step up for CP. Delusional and ignorant much on current affairs.
Try to be nice and fair letting somebody new step into the ring and all of a sudden there my pawn to you people.
If I wanted power and control I wouldn't need a pawn to accomplish it. I would just take over.
Join my cult Dillan you can be one of eCanada's chosen.
o7
Best of luck Mann. Don't let the hater(s) get you down!
even if he gets elected, i'm sure his term is going to be 3x better than yours. In fact, i think anyone would do better than you did Xichael. Took you 27 days to locate Italy and then you cleared the treasury in the last 2 days of your term, you're a bloody genius, what an awesome job you did there. You're the last person who should give any advice so shush.
you shared your opinion, but you dont like it when others share theirs
Move to North Korea lol
I'd put my record against yours any day. After all, I can do more than just whine.
you proved how much you can do with the worst and most boring CP term in eCan history. I guess some ppl just aren't made to be the leaders, and you're definitely one of them Michael.
I'm glad you had fun 🙂
Your effort in communicating your goals and making good decisions is all that should be needed to be a good CP. Making it necessary for CPs to bring real money to the table is where eRep went off it's rails as a genuine game.
I hope you do well in the election.
Well I see that Canada's politics is recovering. This comment section is pretty good. 🙂
P.S. I also posted here so that Punisher can dis my CP terms. (He seems to be kind of pissy since his 'serious' bid for the job was a failure.)
Time is all you need. Leadership skills do not matter here because no one will follow you anyway. All people care about is that the CP is 'around' during his term. Maybe make a new MPP or something.
What we don't need is someone who is going to pretend to "shake things up". I support the Mann. Put your feet up and let it ride.
