[Croc4CP] ATO and all that.
Ayame Crocodile
Right as promised today I’m going to explain what I will do regarding the ATO efforts this month.
Fair warning: This is relatively lengthy, if you just want a quick jist then there is a tl;dr at the bottom
I’m not going to discuss the ins and outs of the situation nor the background. It’s been discussed and ongoing for the last few months. During which time I’ve been involved alongside some other very active members of our community who all share the same desire to secure our community and maintain our nation’s right to self determination with the generous gift of their time and effort.
Any and all attempts to usurp the democratically chosen path we have taken must be treated with the same steely approach.
The first few attempts during elections at ATO’ing were, to be quite blunt, rag tagged last minute affairs. But it showed that we have the willpower and active base that are willing to put the work in and most importantly that we can succeed.
Unlike a certain traitor has proposed I do not want to see the eUK wiped unnecessarily. To do so is to punish the whole of the eUK for the harmful, spite fuelled, actions of very few. A wipe is our second to last line of defence. The others are in order: Citizenship Procedures, ATO Procedure for Elections, Wipe, and finally All out ATO via allied assistance.
It’s clear we went passed the first line a long time ago, With CS procedure being torn down and any new one being ignored repeatedly however until recently that wasn’t coupled with an organised use of CS passes to garner support. And I’d rather not jump to the last two lines of defence before we have no choice.
We can still succeed without having to lose our basic bonuses or turning our nation into a total proxy war between proSirius and proAsteria external groups.
So that leaves what it is I plan to do:
Party primaries are our first step, Firstly they ensure that the real members of each party get to elect their president freely still, secondly they make our chances almost immeasurably better. Without Primaries and the cutting down of ingame candidates that they make possible we have already lost.
For that reason Party Presidents will be pressed as soon as I’m elected to start informing their membership about an upcoming primary and for candidates to come forward.
Soon after the primaries will be run by each party president, with the government liaison and myself being informed of the results.
Congress will then be informed of the proposed candidates, and will have a chance to raise any evidence of PTO involvement over the last 3 months and to check over for suspicious activity. This is to ensure that certain obvious people don’t feel they can just work within the system and get yet another round of the same.
If valid evidence is brought forward then a vote of no confidence will be held. The results of which, alongside the evidence, will be published for all to see in order to maintain transparency and the ethical nature of any decision. Needless to say, if a vote of no confidence passes on one of the proposed candidates an alternative - in the form of either a secondary candidate from the party in question or an ATO operative selected (with Congressional approval) to represent that party - will assume the role of PP until Congress elections are over.
Throughout these procedures the influence of the Liaison, myself and Congress’ will be kept to an absolute minimum. What matters most is that parties have their chosen representative take PP whilst ensuring the nation remains safe of harmful elements.
Basically.
It’s Malkovich in dangerous liaiso- oh wait. Also I’m the Malkovich with the boobs apparently.
The Government’s direct involvement with the ATO will be limited to myself as CP and an appointed Liaison for the ATO. Other members of the cabinet though are not only welcomed to join in but encouraged to do so as eUK individuals.
The Liaison’s role is to maintain communication channels, help with advice and generally oversee the efforts and ensure they’re going well or making sure that extra hands are found if needs be.
They will also help with disseminating information regarding the ATO efforts, Primary results and any other related items to the public.
The structure, to be clear:
*Winning candidate list put to Congress If a primary finishes early then that candidate will be put forward to congress to discuss earlier
*Congress has 24hrs to raise any concerns and bring evidence of PTO involvement/suspicious activity (ala Sarah Holby)
*(If necessary): Candidates that congress deems suspicious (along with evidence) face a no confidence vote, and if it passes the second place candidate is taken as the official candidate. (if there is no second candidate or that candidate is also deemed untrustworthy then a possible ATO candidate, who will place priority for congress with true members of the respective party that have had no association with the misuse of CS passes, will be found and run with congressional input).
*After these safety checks a ratification vote will take place.
It must be stressed at this point that while I’d much rather leave the entire process to party members themselves, there is a possibility that those who have been fanning the flames of the PTO and using their CS as a way of importing supporters will proclaim themselves as the official candidate or even win the primary.
The ATO needs to ensure said people are not treated as the official candidates and do not receive directed votes to support them. The fairest way to do so that I can think of is through congress and these procedures have been put together to reflect that.
Pure and simple, This is what we need more than anything if we’re to win this. Our tools will be direct messages from party presidents and the executive, shouts, #eUKATO and a publicly viewable gDoc with ongoing result updates.
Now I’m going to take a leaf out of Woldy’s book and put this down in a dated plan:
5th - 10th - All parties to begin their Party Presidential Primaries. Messaging every member, getting candidates to come forward (but not candidate if possible), to do their campaigning early and have the incumbent PP run a primary.
By the 11th at latest - Each Party will have run their primary, have informed the Liaison and myself of the result and Congress will be discussing the official candidates. At this stage, the candidates selected by the individual parties may run ingame, and the current PP, in order to minimise confusion will be encouraged to contact other people who may be running to withdraw, explaining the situation and selection procedures as the reasons why.
As part of the voting form each party will be requested to add a check box for member to notify if they’re available to be a mobile voter. The names and total number being passed on to the Liaison to give to the ATO team to give a good idea of numbers to be expected and to help organise on the day
11th - 13th - Congress will discuss and raise any issues (including votes of no confidence) before the 13th, the speaker must be prepared to host the discussions and will be encouraged to remind Congress of upcoming talks a week prior to the elections. On the 13th the vote to ratify all candidates will take place.
14th - Every member of the eUK will receive a message from the Executive body in regards to how to vote smart, where the information can be gleaned on the day and why it’s important. PP must use this day to contact their party members with information on their parties winning candidate.
15th - Election Day - People will be encouraged via shouts and the previous messages to check on #eUKATO and the gDoc to ensure they vote smart. Whilst the ATO team will be checking the members pages of each party and multi busting as we did the last two elections to great success.
How you can help
Make sure that if your party hasn’t started a primary by the 8th that you contact and make sure that your PP is doing so, If not then discuss this with your party and let myself know that there may be an issue and we’ll iron out whatever the problem is asap.
If I am elected and you want to offer to help on the day or with preparations then message the ATO Liaison to see where your help is most needed.
Finally and most importantly Vote smart on the 15th. Check the Gdoc, Go on IRC, heck even message me if you are still unsure of where your vote is most needed.
Together we will win so let’s start getting prepared now!
Conclusion
I’d like to apologies for the length and depth of this article, but given how sensitive a topic it is I feel it’s best to outline as clearly and thoroughly as possible.
As for a tl;dr...
*Communication
*Party Primaries
*Congress double checking candidates for safety
*Vote directing and multi busting
*???
*Profit
*Success means we fight tooth and nail for regions and congress elections
*Failure means we try to ensure we’re wiped, preferably by an allied nation.
Thank you once again for your time and I look forward to hopefully working as a nation again to rid ourselves of this threat.
Chin up eUK and lets get rolling! ^_~

No thanks, TUP PUPPET
D'aww you seem angry, Maybe you should read stuff first though.
Either way, even if I were a puppet... Puppet > Traitor any time any place.
I don't really want this to be a dirty election, but if you want to try that I'm more than happy to fetch the cached copies of your traitor article to Ireland, ss of you fighting against the eUK or all the various logs from each party of your old account getting banned from every single party for trying to multi your way into PPships.
So feel free to keep trying mate, you'll never match the dirt all over yourself ^_~
You have 0 credibility, Amazed you dare to even show your face in the eUK after what you did.
Acroc you are about to PTO new Era you should be ashamed. Power mad TUPpet as you see, im not the only one who can see your true colours.
Once a TUP puppet, ALWAYS a Puppet. Now go.. I can hear Keers calling you
I've laid out a structure to ensure true eUK'ers who have respect for the country and do not intend to PTO it are elected and in charge of congress lists.
If New Era want to declare a traitor as PP again then that's up to them.
Some would say that if they do that and somehow end up losing their party that anyone voting there would be doing the eUK a favour.
Up to you guys to decide what happens now really.
Your next idea will be to install the KING KEERS as CS overlord and king. Has he promised you some money to run this month?
People will remember your last stint as CP.. Average at best.
Any fool can open a IRC room for one day and arrange an ATO effort. and from what i've been told about your month as MOFA that is pretty much all you have done, go back to your minecraft mate
King Woldy is the king. Keers can only be king if he wins a duel to the death with King Woldy.
Technically Cheetah, should King Woldy die, I am the heir...
I thought your campaign was gonna be funny BA, It's boring to see the same old BS of lame 'catchphrases' in caps as if SHOUTING THEM IN CAPS MAKES THEM TRUE. TUP PUPPET! TUPpet! sTUPid! did you think those up all by yourself? xD
lol'd at you.
stop being silly, BA
I cant resist 😃
be quiet you Serbian quisling, I'm still waiting for you to condemn the actions of your fellow NE members, the congressmen, for granting CS passes to hostile alliance members, but no you label them 'political activists' rather than fascists who believe they know what is best and the poor citizens don't know what is best for them. If you truly believed in the concept then you'd accept with dignity that the majority of people don't believe in the NE view of what is best and have decided to make a choice for themselves on what or whom they believe is best whether it's a TUP or any other party CP.
Your wish for us to leave our current alliance and go where exactly, oh let me guess you'll take us into ASSTERIA because if we chose to leave Sirius then we want to belong to the other, sorry NE may be in hock to their Serbian masters but a fair number of us aren't.
So far all I've seen from the NE 'Elite old guard' are outright lies, broken promises and blaming everyone else for their failures and shortcomings as they're unwilling to grow a pair and say 'yes, we cocked up' instead we get the BS of 'protest citizenships given', believe that and you'll believe me when I say I'm going to be the next head of the CoE.
Ayame, a New Labour puppet? Keep smoking that ganja son. 😛

yours is naff, go troll elsewhere
TUPpet
What he means by ATO is those with spare votes will be attacking the New Era party.
did you read the article or were you surprised that you can be a CP candidate AND have something to say
better than the NE version which is a PTO by enemy alliance members, but hold on you want us to leave Sirius and then you'll ask us, the people of the eUK, which alliance we wish to join and then ignore that and go where your Serbian masters tell you to go. The old guard of NE have made it perfectly clear what they believe in and that isn't democracy in any form unless it's what they say, disagree and you're a TUP puppet, blah, blah, blah , same old drivel as before.
This looks sensible and well thought out, gj
Nice stuff! o7
Long read, but good plan.
Finally, someone taking charge witha credible solution for this emergency facing the eUK! \o/
Best of luck Ayame my dear friend !!!.I wont say anything else.Hope that I"ll be in your cabinet.Greetings from Alex Popovic.Voted,subed !!!.
Took a while to read but I look forward to this being put into action! o7
What you seem to forget is this is a game where anyone can join, stop trying to be a control freak you don't own the UK its not yours, the things you are playing for is not real, what you induce is bullying and shame on you, you a sell out who spouts lies ay any given chance , what the guys playing the game for many years need to understand just cos you have been along time does not give you right to do as please.
You are not a man of honor and won't be getting my vote. fake commie.
i wonder if you can read...
No Luke
No he cant.
Some pretty pictures with nice bright colours for him to look at though
>claims things playing for are not real
>spends speakless amounts of real money on gold
Really? Not in over year and half maybe , down with the lame King
Shut up you lying, conniving Quisling
Tangbod in 1 and half years you still don't have a newspaper thus not writing a article why don't you do one, who cares what you say? lazy player
And why, pray tell, should I bother with a 'newspaper' then Quisling just to keep you happy. Lazy in your massively over-inflated view but as most of us know your view isn't even worth the bog paper it's scribbled on. I prefer to come online, do my thing, and then get back to work helping a mate out with his website management, having a bit of a laugh with my mates when not working the graveyardshift
Oh God,Big Ant you mad again? 😛
Crocodiles have teeth enough to chomp down this problem!
Well thought out. o7
TLDR: 4 parties vet the other 1 party. Anyone they don't like can't be PP.
So I can't be a PP ever again right?
if forty elected officials plus the executive don't see you as a trustworthy candidate, it is madness to suggest that the fault lies anywhere but yourself
21?
Mr woldy just merge as one big party and all get naked on webcams I heard that what your gang like to do
Wha...
What'll happen if a party gets a vote of no confidence? Are we just f*cked then?
Looks decent enough otherwise though.
I'm back hue hue hue!!!
I'm very wary of congress deciding the viability of PP candidates, I can see the necessity to take action but I hope the process and evidence requirements are thorough enough to stop people just grinding personal axes.
If it ain't a DCer or a DC supporter it ain't getting elected...
😉
"Congress Safety Checks and Ratification"
Has the current congress and the subsequent congress - depending on our possession of regions - agreed to the proposals you have put forward that rely on congress' involvement (that branch of government that is elected independently of the Presidential branch)?
As of yet no, Of course congress could vote down any ratification. At which point I will consider that the ATO has failed and will leave the ATO team to it's own devices and once again the ATO will not be officialised.
What I am attempting to do is put the decision to more people than just myself. However if congress disagrees that an obvious PTO collaborator is actually a bad element as PP and they get elected then I will jump to the 'failed' section and allow a wipe to remain.
At which point there will be no congress to discuss with next month for whoever is CP.
That is what I want to avoid.
The point I was trying to make is that you have put this in your manifesto before even consulting with congress. It unfortunately sounded as though we are here merely to do your bidding. It hasn't been agreed nor have any actual parameters been highlighted.
I would imagine the majority, myself included, are against any PTO that acts against our best interests. Whether we'd all agree to act in an 'official' capacity and not as private citizens so to speak is an entirely different matter.
I'll obviously expand more on this point in my article
Well I will have 5 days with which to put the case forward to congress that their input is invaluable and necessary if anything is to be considered 'official'.
My personal view is that this is a matter of major national security and as it directly affects the make up of our congress in the future that they would like to have a chance to impact and protect that in their capacity as congress people rather than just unofficially as individuals.
The way I see it is without this being official it could lead to merely a counter PTO or of course to nothing at all and the escalation of the current mess we're in, if people aren't willing to put their opinions down as congress people and instead only as private citizens then I worry about congress itself in more matters than just this.
anyone can put a proposal forward to the speaker, I'm sure Acroc writing this in a manifesto weeks before the election will give him and congress ample time to decide if they agree on this being the way forward
