Why the EPC is Doomed for Failure
Wally Cleaver
Who are the Exiled Patriots of eCanada, what is their mission, and why are they doomed to fail?
The Exiled Patriots of eCanada (EPC) are those former citizens who chose of their own accord to leave eCanada following the pardon of Rolo Tahmasee. Their goal is to inflict as much suffering upon eCanada and our people as they can simply because they did not get their way. Their methods of doing so involve starting Resistance Wars (RW) in our regions in occupied eUK. They choose to fight against eCanada in these battles, and have attempted to inspire citizens of other nations to do the same.
Recently, Addy Lawrence has been appointed as leader of the EPC. This is in fact the first reason their mission is doomed. It was in fact Addy Lawrence who, while President of eCanada, first raised the topic of a pardon for Rolo.
Going back to November 23d, Mr. Lawrence posted the following on the eCanadian Congressional forums:
Whereas Rylde has offered to assist Rolo Tahmassee in performing restitution here AND
Whereas Rolo Tahmassee has agreed to attempt reconciliation with eCanada here AND
Whereas potential claims against Rolo Tahmassee for breach of honesty and good faith between the end of his first impeachment and the date of his declaration of intention to reconcile AND
At least one of these potential claims would be the PTO of UN on Oct 15th AND
Each and all of these potential claims could compromise any deals for reconciliation that is anticipated to be reached in the near future AND
Leaving the opportunity of a pardon open while a trial for any and all of the potential claims is going on would only undermine the court's authority and waste the time of citizens, judges and witnesses THEREFOR
I propose that Rolo Tahmassee be pardoned for any and all breaches of honesty and good faith that he has committed between the moment in time his first impeachment vote ended and the date of his declaration of intention to reconcile on the condition that completes the act of reconciliation to the satisfaction of the courts before December 25, 2011.
When challenged regarding the legality of a pardon, Addy Lawrence took it one step further and made it official with an Executive Order, which Congress promptly rejected.
It also very worth noting that Addy Lawrence was also responsible for granting me the Order of eCanada. And what for you ask.
...for their roles as party leaders of the top parties in eCanada during the ATO effort.
Amongst other things, Wally and Araknos supported the exodus of members from their parties in the name of the national ATO effort.
And what party was I PP of at the time? MDP or shall we say the Rolo Tahmasee Appreciation Party. That's right, I granted the Order of eCanada by none other than Addy Lawrence for PTOing the MDP and changing the name.
That is the sort of thing that Addy Lawrence stood for.
And let us not forget that Mr. Lawrence was also involved in making very real threats against myself after using the MOO party forums to acquire my IP address as well as my RL name. Though without proof, it is very easy to imply that Addy Lawrence could be involved in the threats against Acacia Mason as well.
While declaring Addy Lawrence as their leader is one reason the EPC is doomed to fail, another reason is their decision to support the efforts of the bigoted Aeriala.
The EPC wants everyone to believe that they pride themselves on having the best interests of eCanada and our people in mind. And yet, they welcome Aeriala into their midst.
Little needs to be said regarding the destructive force that Aeriala and his attitude is. Many of the EPC members who had been outspoken regarding how he has chosen to treat citizens of eCanada in the past, have been vocal in their support of Aeriala now as seen in the Comments section of his article.
Aeriala is not a 'community builder' and for a group that professes to want to rebuild after they destroy, Aeriala is not someone they should welcome.
Which leads into the third reason the EPC will fail. Simply put, in the very unlikely event that they manage to convince a nation to wipe eCanada, it serves no real purpose. They have no endgame for the sole reason that citizens cannot be killed in this game. If eCanada does in fact get wiped, people like Rolo Tahmasee are not going to quit playing. Essentially, the EPC is using force to threaten eCanadians into revoking the pardon that was granted using the very rules that the EPC members stood behind for so long.
And what exactly does the pardon mean? It's simple. The pardon means that Rolo Tahmasee can access the eCanadian forums. Nothing more as that was the only means that eCanada had to 'punish' Rolo. Many will argue that the pardon also means that Rolo Tahmasee does not have to repay the Gold which he stole. News Flash!! - he was never going to pay it back anyways even if the forum ban remained. Another News Flash!! - Rolo already had access on the forums, the only difference now is that he can post under his own name.
So, essentially, the EPC and their members are wasting damage fighting against eCanada, when they could be helping TEDEN nations against ONE, all over one player's ability to post on a forum (which few, if any, even used) under his own name.
What a joke the EPC is.

Hi wally!
V!
Extreme levels of hypocrisy, wasted damage that could be used to help allies.
All for what? No real purpose.
As long as they're having fun, I don't see the big deal.
@Jsboutin: Because we could be helping our allies. The US lost Asturias yesterday because we were busy killing eachother
These e😜ats are still fighting for the alliance's interests, AFAIK. Please dorn't overestimate canada's influence on battles.
Reality Check 101.
Great Post Wally.
The real life intimidation towards you, and similarities to what is happening now to Acacia, are too consistent and similar.
V!
@Jsboutin - So, the 13+ million that Fritz just threw down in Wales couldn't have been better used elsewhere? How about the millions that our people are dropping to defend against that?
Asturias wasn't lost by much. A couple million in damage could have given the US the victory.
Nice article and agreed with Wally 😁
Asturias wasn't lost by much. A couple million in damage could have given the US the victory.
Canada should have fought there then.
Many of us did good Doctor.
@Dr. Pain - then perhaps US citizens shouldn't have started a RW in an ally country.
wally: "So, the 13+ million that Fritz just threw down in Wales couldn't have been better used elsewhere? How about the millions that our people are dropping to defend against that? "
That is the very question that a lot of people will be asking themselves.
IF allies come to the conclusion that colonies are more secure in the hands of say, Ireland or France, canada isn't going to be wiped but it may be asked to relinquish its colonies.
IF allies come to the conclusion that eCanadian politicians are not able to deal effectively with internal matters, it may lose influence.
IF allies come to the conclusion that their plans are being prejudiced by having to waste 20 -30 million damage in a rear guard action that can easily be ended, they may choose diplomatic means to end it.
IF allies come to the conclusion that their plans would be benefited by having an extra 20 -30 million damage to fight against Poland, Sweeden and Spain, they have the diplomatic means to do it.
Undoubtedly, the Canadian President and his diplomatic corps will have been addressing these things with allied nations. Acacia and Addy are both persuasive. The future course is therefore unclear excepting that I am assured to read more articles which are little more than
"noun, verb, traitor"
Voted so god damn hard I put my mouse through the desk.
P.S. the more I drink the more fun I can be in negotiations. Happy P-day y'all!
Just a point of fact: there is no longer any such thing as hypocrisy in eCanada.
Nor principles, or patriotism.
Once we all accept this truth we will all be free.
The main motivator to fight for eCanada these days (for me, at least) is to protect my resource bonuses for added productivity. Other reasons have become sidelined.
I kinda need an article that explains why I need to fight for eCanada more than why I should not move to the US to join EPC. Sadly, this article does the opposite of encouraging me to stay.
Does it really matter who is less dishonest or more hypocritical than other 'heroes and patriots'?
save canada
Shadow, but from whom?
I honestly don't know anymore.
^ this.
Good points all!
also Aeriala is a douche
I can't help but notice that this is the first EPC related article where none of them have posted.
Hitting the nail a little to close to the head maybe?
I'm sorry, Mug, are you complaining that EPC is NOT trolling this article?
Also, I see 3 EPC sypathizers above.
I for one will be shocked if EPC ever wins a battle. That said, this article glosses over the fact that the Rolobs have been a drain on the nation's strength and unity and have raised questions among TEDEN for a long time. What's happening now is that a chronic condition has been temporarily made acute.
Also, this is a marathon, not a sprint. How will eCanada feel 18 months from now, while this is still going on?
First, I proposed a pardon of Rolo for everything AFTER the crime. At the time, Rolo claimed that the issue he had with repenting for the the theft was the risk of getting nabbed immediately after for a variety of other things. My proposal was not "carte blanche" and it had conditions (that Rolo repent). Ironcially, congress rejected it, the same congress that accepted the unconditional carte blanch proposal most recently.
Secondly, you were awarded the nomination to the order for doing a good deed Wally. That ATO effort was a great demonstration of national unity. Ironic that you use that gesture to advance your divisive agenda now.
As for my note to you Wally, it was a hell of a lot "less" than you did to me leading up to that point. My biggest mistake was getting into a pissing contest with skunks like you.
Your baseless accusation of me harassing Acacia in RL is completely false and unwelcome and only reinforces why trolls should be held to account.

Really ? Winning an election against me,in then fairly inactive MDP (30ish members,if I remember correctly) was the reason why Wally got the Order of Canada ? lol
@Mirek - MDP at the time was in Top 5. Renaming it to RTAP meant that by Congressional election time, it dropped out of the Top 5. So, the Romulans weren't able to run there. And is the reason I got the Order of eCanada. Amazing, isn't it?
quite amazing,Wally : D but I ain't 100% sure it was in top 5 tho. Wasn't it like 6th or 7th ? If it was in top 5,sorry for the wrong insinuations/understandin of the situation
You e😜ats can't really argue wally on this one. He's right.
Voted so hard.
He can still choose to respond to the players still here. Ain't that the real point?
Rigour6 says "Also, this is a marathon, not a sprint. How will eCanada feel 18 months from now, while this is still going on?"
Really? Your end game is 18 months or years further down the line? Come up with a new plan morons, this one stinks.
I have a better plan. We all admit Rolo won and log out for good.
ED, I have no idea what the end game is - or if there even is one, frankly.
What I am noting is that issue fatigue seems to have played a factor in the pardon.
So ,how about we just completely ignore them? Just stop caring and continue wasting damage until they realize nothing will happen.
The thing is they can only try to justify their actions when you give them the chance or retaliate in newspapers. If they can't justify, if no one listens I presume they'll just give up.
