[MDP] Merc Fund Update
Rylde
The Military Dictatorship funded program to arm Mercs for Canada's defense.
Another merc fund update for you here today on christmas day. War stops for no holiday and neither does the countries defense. Some in the country don't feel eCanada is worth fighting for anymore and that days of long ago are better to rememeber.
The key is to remember the good days with the bad or in my case drink alot of beer so even the bad days were good. Until the next day when it then became bad. But then you could sleep till it was kinda good and still kinda bad and then hit the liquor store and then they were good again. After that repeat the process and before you know it your broke. Then depending on if u had a wife for the night you were feeling good or bad.
Like the MDP Merc Fund is now......Broke, feelin bad with no woman
No mismanagement or lack of donations last week. Basically Plato F***ed us. His crazy white man deal made the world go nuts just in time for our little war with UK and then our attempted defense of Portugal. Supplies were used small fortunes spent and we gave it our all . Both in teh merc fund and the private suppliers of MDP.
For all the flack MDP takes you wouldn't believe how much activity, effort and personal funds we put into this nations defense.
The Merc program currently has in stock 400 Q7 tanks.
As we can all see by the ads from Plato are good buddie who drinks more firewater than I do btw there's crazy good deals up.
If you are a gold buyer I highly recommend you find a trustworthy gold pack trade buddy. I traded gold packs with Zappie and I got 720 gold for the one pack. Good deal as I said if your a gold buyer.
I will also say as a so called 3 month nobody Zappie that crazy Bast**D just put in a 8 hr session of supplying his own tanks to help fight for NFL. This isn't the first time and it won't be the last I'm sure. I was kinda mildly insulted myself by Jacobi's comment just cause I know the tireless effort the guys puttin in.
Glad I'm teaching him all my dirty native ploys of supplying mercs so when I kick the bucket from alcohol poisoning there's a suitable replacement.
As I've been gifted with good fortune I will once again match all donations to the merc fund in an attempt to restock the used supplies. Many out there might not like MDP as a party or the sharp edges of its membership but there's one thing you can't deny is we get S###t done in military matters.
Brought to you by 9 kokanee beer and the fact that this year I don't get to open presents till 2pm x-mas day when my brat comes over.
Merry Christmas all and enjoy the clothes your all so excited to get.

Surprised it hasn't happened already

Any individual dumb enough to spend gold on this game can supply mercs. What the hell does the MDP have to do with it?

Supplied 1000+ Q7 tanks. Most of which were donated by Zappie.
Merry xmas! 🙂
MDP's fiscal policy should be emulated by all parties.
I nominate Funky and Jacobi to lead the Gold Pack Trading Council for the CPF.
But besides that, great effort doing stuff around here, guys.
It's not a fucking fiscal policy you idiot. It's a credit card policy.
Somebody doesn't get irony in the morning....Merry Christmas.
It wasn't.
Sarcasm then? I'm sure there's a correct term to describe a ridiculous statement made to sound true when it is patently obvious it wasn't meant to be.
Why feel annoyed that a party is using the Gold buying system to shell out tanks? Sure, it may seem like they are buying votes or approval among voters, but that's just where the game is at right now.
Come to think of it...that's as close to a real fiscal policy in this game as I've seen lately. VAT and funding debates have less direct results than just buying a shitload of Gold yourself and giving tanks directly to people.
Try reading my post instead of asking derivative questions.
Funky's as grumpy on Xmas morning as Jacobi was on Xmas Eve...
My first post was a sarcastic remark based off your comment, Funky. I agreed with what you originally said and made a joke based on the irony of making a tank give-away sound like some kind of political platform.
It's less funny when you have to explain the joke (probably wasn't funny to begin with), so let's just leave this discussion at that.
\hey douchebags I'm not giving away I want sh!t today.
Yeah, not very funny. For someone who likes to write, you can't seem to put together consistent arguments.
You can stop discussing, or you can stop dodging and be open about what you think for once. Should Rylde/MDP use this little supply system for Mercs as a reason to for joining the MDP?
I believe it shows our dedication to the country through military means as we are a military party after all. Also for the record the article doesn't state join MDP because of this supply program.
You don't believe in arming mercs or buying gold fine Funky but don't try to sh!t on what were doing because we like to do so.
"Should Rylde/MDP use this little supply system for Mercs as a reason to for joining the MDP?"
No, he should not be buying support for MDP with tanks funded by his credit card because it:
a) devalues the hard work of political leaders that try to build a party with ideas and policies they think can improve eCanada's potential
b) devalues the hard work of MU leaders that are trying to set up supply systems based on the game mechanics alone, without a credit card.
But here's the issue. My feelings about what are fair and makes a good game don't mean crap in eRepublik.
One of CPF Tenets is the following:
"4. To respect, recognize and uphold the supremacy of the mechanics of the game"
The purchasing of Gold is now a major 'mechanic' (or shortcut) of the game. It greatly affects how MUs develop and can shape the membership of politial parties. I don't want to respect that mechanic, yet I do have to recognize it as a fact of the game. I uphold the supremacy of gold buying by making jokes about people that still complain about how unfair it is.
I look at this another way. I don't see Rylde using the merc fund as a reason to join the MDP. What I see is a clear message to the people of eCanada which party's members are willing to lay it all on the line for us and our allies, while the other parties don't bother to lift a finger and call them idiots for doing it.
If I "cared" about eCanada and our allies, and I hadn't already seen the light, I know which party I would choose to be a member of.
Take away the Gold buying option and the playing field levels out, Muglack.
Saying someone plays a game better because they have a larger credit limit or have different financial priorities in life is not an argument for MDP being a more committed party to eCanada. Nevertheless, its members do seem more generous in that regard and should be appreciated for it anyhow.
What would be an interesting poll, is a Flash Poll of how many CPF members can name 1 tenant without having to look it up
Me Thinks, just like EPIC, the majority of the membership joined it because it's #1 in membership and vote the Blue Moose every time because they recognize it
To imply they all knowingly joined because of the "Party Values" is absurd...
Also the vast majority of tanks supplied go to international mercs from other nations. Candians are welcome to stop by and grab a few but were arming mostly pro EDEN citizens.
People are starting to make it sound like this program is to arm candians which isn't the point of it at all.
"Take away the Gold buying option and the playing field levels out, Muglack."
Because all of the gold buyers in eCanada are in the MDP?
Every party has people that buy gold, and every party has people like me, that have built up over 3 and a half years and are able to donate when the need arises.
Personally I gave away nearly 400 Q7 tanks and I haven't bought gold once in all my time in this game. I'm not saying 400 tanks is a lot, or would tip the scales of a battle, but the MDP has a lot of players like me who give what they can for "the greater good" as they see it.
If that appeals to people, and they want to be around players that think like that then when it comes to parties it's a fairly obvious choice. But to highlight what we do doesn't immediately equate to a recruitment drive.
I have children, a mortgage, car and insurance payments in real life. Spending hundreds of dollars a month on eRep is out of the question. There are also students who live on a very tight fixed income who also can not afford to spend real life money.
I've been playing for 3 1/2 years and been an eCanadian for the whole time. I am 100% dedicated to this country, in defense and in society.
Because you have have more disposable RL money, you are a better player and work harder for eCanada then me and other in the same financial constraints as me?
I don't think so!
Where does it say i'm a better player and work harder than you anywhere above. Glad to ehar your dedicated 100%. if that was true you would applaud our efforts instead of try to tear a chunk out of a program we believe in and ask for nothing but donations to keep it going.
Take your political rambling elsewhere.
Sometimes I think many of you aren't worthy of our efforts and should just close up shop on it. maybe your right. Is that what your aiming for?
Some just don't get it Rylde, and never will..
Still too stuck in their oldfag ways or being led by their ilk....
To give credit were credit is due, Rylde isn't just supplying tanks, he's organizing the collection and distribution of the those tanks to players. You can't argue with the result which were big damage in the many fights against the UK. He's more active then most and literally putting his money were his mouth is. One of many things I am grateful for in my experience as CP is to be able to see past hostilities both towards and from MDP. There is some seriously talented and dedicated players in their party. Much respect.

Well then it would seem people's complaints about this program are uncalled for. If Rylde and MDP are putting together a fund to direct battle damage, then good for them and better for us. Seems that my understanding of how the Merc Fund was being set up was mistaken.
Yah, we take tanks from whoever wants to give them, and we hand them out to win battles.
Rylde is spearheading it and is using RL money to fund his part of the donations. That's not all of the tanks we get, in some cases it's not even the majority.
Like I said before Crock, I haven't spent a red cent on this game and still manage to donate because I think the tanks will do more good hitting for us than the cad they represent will do sitting in my account.
It's different play styles, and it's different beliefs.
Im aware the game has changed into a "pay to win" game. I guess I'm sa little butt hurt about this. I recently down graded my daily strength training because it was no longer finacially viable for me. this has given me a profit in CAD's that I can donate.
I know running supplies is a time sucker, I used to do it CAF under old supply system.
The nation apreaciates this endevour, but using it as a way to promote the MDP?? That stinks of a Rolo tatic
Were a military party and the program highlights our agenda and how far were willing to go with our party platform.
