STOP, before we get to anything say hello to my new newspaper header ^
Hello, handsome.

Libertarians, we got some people into congress and we're back in the Top 5 parties. Results. Some people might not realize why this is such a large deal, but after several horribly disappointing Party Presidents this is not too bad at all.

Since we have unveiled this new Incentive Program to our fellow party members, we thought we'd share the fine details of how this system is supposed to work but first, the people that got into congress:

From left to right: Paul Proteus, jerseygirldani, Jude Connors

We wanted to get more congressmen in, but then this is precisely why participation in the voting program is so important.

So, this program I keep talking about. Prior to taking office I invested roughly 50 gold into the party, I bought several Q4 WRM companies and handed them out to people in party leadership positions. I bought several more over time, and some friendly gentlemen donated their labor and some, gold, to our little project.


ballin large boy, ballin so large

Members who have voted yesterday know we were handing out 4 Q5 Weapons (tanks) and 40 Q5 food to voters who followed directions, to attempt to direct votes to those most likely to win. Some people fell behind early, and I'm sorry we couldn't save you. It sucked. I would prefer everyone get into congress, maybe next time. I'm glad you all enjoyed the handouts, much more of you were more active than usual, that was the plan.

Brass tacks: We take in roughly 4500 USD a week, maybe more maybe less depending on how much I decide to donate (it's never less than i produce, always more). All of this through the WRM companies I purchased, militia members might recognize how this works, sort of. There's no commune members but there is people producing every day and in fact it lightens the load on actual party members and shifts it all on to very active people.


Extraordinary gentlemen

This was a purposeful decision on my part, whereas I do have 2 people working in my Q5 weapons company for minimum wage they are what I would call temporary labor, as in their presence is temporary for reasons I need not explain, so my goal was to replace all of them by purchasing more companies to cover their income, we're almost there. Thanks to TomT and Meipei for donating up until now.

I don't think any other party has setup a program like this, so, natually it was an awesome idea. The results were better than I expected, with most members seemingly generally apathetic. We doled out around 5000 USD worth of goods on election day, that's good times.

Over 100 tanks and who knows how many Q5 food, a bunch.

The plan is not that hard to understand and party members seem to enjoy it, it gives people who normally don't care about voting a reason to care, which was my original intention.
Maybe other parties can benefit from some investment into something similar.

We plan on deploying this program for reasons other than elections also, such as prizes for very cool members.

The list of people donating 10 wellness (or more) per day to our awesome program:

Also special thanks to jerseygirldani and Lysander Spooner II (of the Socialist Freedom Party) for helping, while not actively running companies they have helped in their own way and I appreciate it.
