Canada Moving Forward
Thedillpickl
Hi kids!
There is indecision about where to go with WT. The current decision is to drop it back to 5% if a certain amount is in the Treasury. Rylde stepped up with this article to help move things along. I considered doing the other 125k, then thought for a moment and figured while filling the need I wouldn't be "helping" the situation by doing the other half.
I know that not everyone has thousands of cc laying around, I'm not ignorant of the fact that most people buy little or no gold. I remember doing all sorts of things to get ahead when I first started. I understand.
125k was achievable for the active player base we still have, but in my opinion, it would have taken awhile to shake the cc loose. Leaving 25k for others to donate made the goal more readily obtainable but still requires some sacrifice of players that want to move on. People are starting to accept the fact that the whole eCountry cannot ride on the backs of a few individuals.
Finish The Job
At present we are still short 16,250 cc to move along with what is planned. This is not some insurmountable goal. Rylde is taking up the donations. If any concerns about that I will attest he won't steal your money. (In a drunken fit he might start some shiz on IRC and cause a war but that's another situation altogether. lol)

Politics
While I can't say that I'm ecstatic about some of the decisions being made lately I am however glad to see that people have stepped up and are trying. A slow steady infusion of new faces would have been preferable as there would have been less of a shock to the system, but that ship sailed a year ago.
Canada's old guard looks on.
It was to the point that there weren't enough familiar faces to fill all the chairs. My best advice to the 'new faces' would be to not ignore your elders, we did not ignore the players that were in charge before us. (Sometimes we laughed but still we considered what they said.)

I think this is about the first CP election that could be considered interesting for quite some time. No tiresome mudslinging or goon squad attacks. No concerns about a PTO. Here's hoping that we can continue to progress toward a more normal political atmosphere where ideas can be brought up and discussed.
Once that has been restored we can then get back to Canada's unique brand of politicing.

Very unexpected halfway point if the election so far. If i had to put money on it after this point i think after work CPFers put DMV over the top.
Some that I thought would do better but Molly Jo is an unexpected leader at this point. (Not that I don't think she's a quality person, mind you.) There was definitely some behind the scenes politicking going on.
I pretty sure could be our first female CP. Mary Chan prolly could have been but needed to take bigger runs at it.
Per the behind the scenes politicking, if there was it wasn't by me lol
Not meaning a negative there, just that your backing came from somewhere and I didn't notice an article in top 5.
Well I did write an article explaining why I was on the ballot, but it got turned into a shouting match over party policy which was hardly the point, so I deleted it, didn't expect to be leading, but if it holds up, I'll be building a cabinet throughout the day and be prepared to work.
Don't say too much, it's working 😉
You have a really bad habit of not taking criticism well Molly and deleting articles. Sometimes you just have to deal with the Bullshit and suffer through it.
I suppose you're right, though in fairness I've only done it 4 times in 4 years so could be worse. Even if 3 of those 4 times was in the last year lol
Or be like me and just fling the poop back over the fence. lol
Cant get imperial congressmen to be active but can run the country?
Molly, I encourage you to run this fake country into the ground. then let the next CP pick up the pieces. Lol. it'll probably make the game a lot more interesting...
or for deleting people from your friends list Molly because of small things lol
Indeed Molly Jo is our first female CP. I had a run, but meh. It doesn't interest me anymore. I might hold the longest consecutive VP title in eCan, but I doubt I'm the first female VP.
"I remember doing all sorts of things to get ahead when I first started"
Hahahahahaha I see, that we will have to keep an open place in the whorehouse for you XD 😒 😃
Surprising results so far. I would be interested in seeing how Molly would do as CP. Seems like a quiet, but honest individual. Best of luck 🙂
Another one of Klop's multi's then?
\o/
I did not even know I was still on the ballot until I went to vote. I was a CPF place holder earlier. Had I known I would of asked to get myself removed.
We all know I would win in a landslide if I was actually running 😉
You are the reason James R. Bond didn't make the ballot this election. FOR SHAME!
BOND4CP!
After I took Bonds party, I locked him in a cell of the basement of the whorehouse. Mr Bond will not be running for quite sometime.
Yeah... Uh Huh...
You have to give a little head to het ahead in this business.
Excuse my ignorance, who is Molly Jo?
Who da fawk is FRITZHILL

The fact that there was no mudslinging just means we're all getting bored of the same shit coming around the merry go round of this dying game.
Btw, I voted for Molly because I've never heard of her before this point... been gone a while. 8D
Every time I feel prompted to support another Rylde initiative. Then think of all that I've spent supporting it. Much worth. Nonetheless, my funds are limited.
No worries my Asian creamsicle ive saved up a fortune for my next endeavor.
