[MDP] Want a party? Try the MDP!
•
by Simon Boucher-Ruest
All right everybody, this might seem weird that I’m promoting the MDP, since I’ve been a CPP member almost all the time since I came back from the dead in June 2011. But during these last few weeks, I learned a lot of stuff about the MDP, as well as about CPP’s leadership.
First of all, we all know we want the UN, as well as Norsefire, out of the top 5. The easiest way to do this is going to be pushing the CVP as well as the MDP in. The CVP is already pretty close to making it, but the MDP might need some help. The MDP is a great party under entertaining leadership and willing to help out younger players to achieve greatness. But, more importantly, they admit being a dictatorship.
CPP, however, came under fire in the last PP elections for not holding a forum vote to determine its official candidate. At that time, I defended the procedure, AKA the current PP calling herself official candidate, as I thought it was made to ensure the success of the ATO. But today, I learned that that the Canadian Paradox Party could be called the Canadian Dictatorship Party. Today, after asking eCanadians to post their CP candidacies on the forum, CPP held a vote to decide who would receive the party’s nomination.
Current CP, Addy Lawrence, posted his nomination. Myself posted a candidacy as well. A third candidate, Tyrael Snow, couldn’t even bother registering on the forum to post his candidacy, so he PM’ed it to the current CPP leader. So what is the problem with that? The problem is that, as specified on the forum:
“If you are planning on running for CP on December 5th, you can announce your candidacy for CPP members consideration by creating a new topic in this section by November 30, 2011.”
Tyrael Snow didn’t respect the one simple rule we had, and was put on the ballot. Me, however, respected this rule, but was dropped off the ballot by our party president. I was pretty pissed when I learned that, because I always thought the CPP leadership was fair, and honest. But I realized it’s not.
So, if you’re going to join a dictatorship, don’t choose one that can’t assume being one, and make the patriotic choice. Join the MDP!

I do think it was wrong your not on the ballot. This isn't what CPP stands for.
Entertaining Leadership FTW.
I'd join

Phooey. Join EPIC
Join the nCPF.
Silly Simon, I could have told you this months ago and saved you the trouble.
v and s!
I hope to see the MDP up and running! I would love to see our parties as friends in coalition.
Tyrael, are you blind? Simon basically called you a fail candidate that couldn't be bothered with registering on a forum. Meaning you are either too lazy, too stupid, or don't care about the CPP and their nomination.
MDP all the way!
LOL "entertaining leadership" :')
as if you couldn't think of a better word lolol voted!!
CPP is circling the drain when it alienates a talented and active member like Simon.
Put all the names aside.
Do you want a candidate on a ballot who will not make the effort to join a forum and make a single post expressing their interest in the party's nomination? What does that say about the interest level of the player who will be the nation's CP?
There is no "quit" or "resign" button when you are CP. You are all-in and there are a lot of people depending on you to "perform". Creating a forum account and posting in a thread is a very basic sniff test about how interested and motivated a person is about doing the job.
I dispute the fact that there is a 'quit' or 'resign' button but that's besides the point.

Lol, Entertaining Leadership
awww politic...
MDP was created the first time to gaive a power trip to theirs founders.
It lasted 3 months and the party dies quick torn apart by the leadership structure they had.
The same thing will happens again with this "new" MDP.
Have a nice trip.
Its not new btw and atleast we had solid enough leadship to be organized enough not to let PToer's run under our banner ever.
I will enjoy the ride I always do and its what keeps me playing the game.

Actually, the MDP lasted from December until September in it's first incarnation.
In that time we had 3 Country Presidents under our banner (Jacobi, Myself, and Aeriala).
We also routinely hit well above our weightclass in Congress elections, coming in 2nd to EPIC a few times in total seat count despite rarely being above 5th place in membership count.
We were responsible for the new Charter.
Our members are now, and will remain to be incredibly important members of the community. (Current and previous leaders of "The Crimson Order", former leaders and current members of the CAF High Command, Cabinet members, Congresspeople, etc...)
So Max how about you go back to the burning wreck that is the UN, let a few more Romanians into Congress next month, and do us all a favor and shut the hell up.
MDP ftw!
kso MDPs da bomb?
