Wait, what day is this? Am I naked? Who are you?
Quimbie Muffins II
Like an 18-year-old university freshman, I have been bouncing from party to party. Like said freshman, I believe that is because I was looking for fun and frivolity sure, but mostly, I have been looking for a community that gets me. The first few months, since my return, I thought it smart to relive old ghosts (Clan Wolf, IPC). Seems my past shenanigans in those parties, are either unremembered, unrecognized, or simply reviled. It might be those things, but I think the larger issue with those two parties, is apathy at the party level. Their members are uninvolved. No matter how loud I was... and I can be pretty loud... crickets. I had hoped I could swoop in, use their apathy against them and perhaps steal a PP. I was wrong, I am not as persuasive as I hoped. Well poo.
Poo indeed. I spent some time, and have returned to Poo. It has members whom I enjoy and respect, and who just seem to be generally more involved. I am going to pull my bar stool up and stay awhile. I am going to be a Poo Party irregular regular.
Cheers,
Quimbie

POO will always be number two 🙂
All joking aside, #2 doesn't have to work as hard.
~hyuu~
POO stinks 😛
The party above it seems a little too vacuous to me. 😉
💩 + 🥒 = POO
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
*hick*
Number 2 is often more satisfying than number 1.
It's when I do my best thinking.
"...apathy at the party level. Their members are uninvolved."
un·in·volved

adjective
Not connected or concerned with someone or something, especially on an emotional level.
Sorry to disagree. I've found that even the "silent" players pay attention and do not like people messing with Canada. Some are just more interested in goofing than others.
I am really not a threat, yes I am a goof, and I may goof around a lot... but isn't this a game? Shouldn't it be fun? What's the point of having a Party Politics mode and not using it? Or a Party wall and never writing on it? I would never tell anyone how to play the game. It's just that some of us like to interact, play with words, and not remain silent, and frankly like being involved, in certain aspects of the game.
Pardon me. I was not aware how active you were.
At certain times in the past I was doing eRep for hours at a stretch. Nowadays the game is slowed down overall. Your admin has done a good job of messing up the works. There is a core to our community that takes care of things. Some old timers could care less as things run smoothly. One can only guess their motivation, but there they are. Then there are those who speak up occasionally, with some encouragement they have been know to become one of the core players.
As far as your not being properly fulfilled I would suggest trying to talk. Simply running for PP out of the clear blue or writing articles about others lack of activity is not going to change anyone. To become part of an established group you must conform. Sounds unfair but that's the way it works.
I am a returning old-timer, I was pretty active in 2010-12. Anyway, I am sorry if my actions and past articles have struck a nerve... actually, nah, that's kinda why I am doing what I am doing. I want people to be slightly annoyed, or at least bemused by my gameplay. I don't really follow any set path. I get bored, take a stab at something, usually fail... then go on another silly adventure.
Back then Canada was very close knit. I started in the US, lots of players. Took awhile to make a name for myself. Went to Switzerland and fit in good enough to get elected twice. Came to Canada for awhile. Then to CP in Australia when they invited. Ended up back here because I came to love the players that call Canada home.
You haven't struck a nerve. Just trying to figure you out.
I moved around a bit in the olden days. I am a RL Canadian, so Canadain will always be close to my heart, but I spent a lot of time in the Czech Republic (we tried our darnedest to form a communist state there), I was in Isreal for a bit, Ireland a few times (I was the Irish foreign minister for a bit, a vanity position, but hey). Most of my political energy was spent messing around with Clan Wolf (I believe I changed their name to the Bacon Party, for giggles), I was a founding member of the IPC with DerpHoof... anyway, I have had some fun. Trying to relive that fun now.
I remember the Bacon Party!
