Pickle in August

Day 2,449, 14:31 Published in Canada Canada by Thedillpickl




Hi kids!

Ready for a new month? We are planning to take Canada like a Swedish pop band from the 70's! So turn up the volume, warm up the lava lights and turn on yer disco ball. Here we go!




The Election



I have the honor of Canadian Progressive Front's endorsement and the support of the United Front. While this may seem at cross purposes or at least odd to some let me assure you it falls right in step with the direction I wish to guide Canada. I have been told by many that when there is no war to bring us together that Canadians attack their own. I enjoy a good conspiracy and/or troll fest, but not at the expense of the country as a whole. Marching with signs and trowing some rocks is not comparable to an all out riot. Don't destroy what you are trying to build, that's being counterproductive.

Quentin Carlson is Parti Francophone Canadien's candidate, having the support of EPIC and Imperial Wolves. I'm glad to see that Canada has a choice, IMO Quentin Carlson is a good alternate. So much so he's on my cabinet as Adviser and liaison for our French speaking contingent.

I mention Bruck who is being ran by The Muppet Show. I do this so that Homer does not spin off in a tizzy. (Here's Homer IRL having a typical day at the office.) Pat Harper, he be prepared to fire at me broadside (arrr) and James R Bond is ever a force to be reckoned with.



This Just In!


Good evening, I'm Chevy Chase, and you're not.

Canada to NE India! We will be moving our Capital home soon. Everyone that doesn't need to be mobile should move to Quebec tomorrow (assuming that is where we want our Capital).

In the LETO meeting today the Indian situation was discussed. I will be working directly with Lord Bernin (most likely to be Indian CP) and Amir GH (most likely to be Iranian CP). The goal is to stop needless RW's and become better friends with India. I will be contributing either as Canada's next CP or as vCP of Quentin Carlson.





My Administration's Goals

This coming month will be busier than those in the recent past. We have some catching up to do. While I rather enjoyed the all out war with the US it's good that is over. (For now, BRAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) As fun as mindlessly poking the fight button for hours per day is we now have a country to run. Apathy, boredom, lethargy and loitering are done. Time to wakey wakey.

Our Priorities

> Move our Capital.
> MPP list.
> Request for Budget.

As this article is being written the earth has moved and a solution is at hand. As I said above, in today's LETO meeting and in discussion with Lord Bernin, the wheels are in motion to move our Capital home. We will have our bonuses to 20% soon!

klop and I will be working with the FA team to determine our MPP expectations for the month, then with the bean counters to present a budget request for our MPP's. I do not want to be scrambling about, looking for funds so that we may have allies.

Our Goals

> New player program.
> LETO and us.
> Training war(s)?
> Forgetting immigration.
> Baby boom!

We need and should expect new players to join our game, particularly joining Canada. Needless to say, Plato has booby trapped the damn thing so that these young ones will likely fail if not provided support. (Seems like piss poor marketing to me but this is a topic for another discussion.) The short version is that they need food, more food than they can normally make. They also need information. Don't blow the gold on EB's and upgrade your Training Grounds will be preached from the mountain tops. Speaking of gold, we will be discussing the possibility of underwriting new players Training Ground upgrades as well.

LETO... Been a stinky topic lately. Almost tempted to leave it lay but alas, it must be done. While our agreement in Atlas is important because Portugal and France are some of our best friends we must make LETO our focus. Either that or we need to discuss a different track. I'm open on this subject because I hear rumblings. Expect more on this later.

First we will likely be moving things around in India to correct our errant Capitol location. As soon as this is complete I see no reason not to discuss having a training war with any of our neighbors. I would even entertain something friendly with the US as they've been exemplary in respecting our peace.

I will give my opinion that ignoring immigration is a big mistake. However I'm through stating the same argument over and over. PrinzVonPanzer is doing a great job of sticking to his guns and leading the team. I said it would take someone that can do a thankless job but they all have went above and beyond. Other than appointing the CP's representative for the month I plan to stay out of the discussion.

There has been some suggestion of having a baby boom on the forum and I was also PM'ed recently regarding a LETO member contest. I think this is worth exploring and will appoint a committee to look into it.




:RED ALERT: /me starts committee! We are all D-O-O-M-E-D!!!


I will show you what I think of another committee!

Was that Mary Chan?!?
