Anyone up for getting real yet?
Let's look at things clearly, toss in some simple facts, pretend we are people. The trolling has become massive, with little fact, lotsa accusations and little value. I guess that's standard in a CP campaign, lies, accusations, lotsa fluff. But this month it's got a new aspect.
I'm deeply dissapointed Treian didn't get his nomination. I have always been a believer everyone deserves their chance and a one way CP race is no race and is as unfair to the winner as anything. The way this is playing out is completely disappointing in many ways.
I've published alot of articles over the past week but right from the tart I addressed one issue, political apathy. I spoke about it in length so I see no reason to repeat myself now, however,lets look at the results. It would look like I became the defacto choice for CP right? No of course not, because it's suddenly a big deal, but lets look at what happened.
An open poll was presented on the MAP forums with clear voting rules. Venom's screenshot is real. Three people were put up for nomination because they declared they were running ingame. Rolo was disqualified as a known criminal, that's a fact and no respectable party would nominate him. I make no excuses for that, fact is fact. I shouted, I posted the link to party members, nobody voted. Venoms nominated for 2 persons that were said thaty would not be counted. That is all. The vote was open and viewable so nobody could deny the results. I wanted to use an org system and let Muglack count the results but he refused. The vote is as it looks, it's right there and viewable. As PP i tried to cover the party's inactivity, i did, but the wanted it known so it's out, nobody voted.
Let's carry on to the next phase.
Personal attacks and lies. It seems I'm 'anti something, cutting MU funding'. Has anyone even read my articles? Treian was the one talking about tax cuts. If you read back and look I actually said I'm not for tax cuts at this time and wanted to get into a NE war. I did say I believe in a balanced budget. This only makes sense you can't spend what you do not have. I'm seriously interested to know how Treian talked about cutting taes but can magically increase MU funding. It's not rocket science, you can only spend what you have, that's it, no magic to it.
I somehow believe I should call an end this article as running on too long I don't support. But I can think of a saying that somehow seems to fit this situation...
..Common Sense, it's not all that common....
I'll leave you with that

Another solid mmkay from me
Well your article proves it's title......
and next you'll repeat past actions that had a detrimental effect to our nation but you'll expect to have different results because why??
The executive and I have built a new path, and gotten Terra's go ahead on it, yet you would go back to old mistakes??
Treian: There is nothing in this article about war plans. I assume you see that the whole "balanced budget and expenditures on MUs" thing was a Rolo ruse. So now you are onto war planning.
It comes down to "my plan is better than your plan but neither one of us is going to share details of the plan with the voting public 'cause it sorta defeats the whole secrecy thing".
You both want a NE war. You say "the executive" has one ready to go - trust me. with a few hours left before the vote. Thing is, we aren't voting for you as president and the guy you are in bed with today is the guy who was cutting you up yesterday. There is simply no reason to think that strategists in the community (you included) are incapable of persuading whomever becomes president to adopt a good plan... you just have to make sure not to burn your bridges in advance.
The simple fact people would vote a thief over you should speak towrds how u associate and address people.
I'm not one to talk but then again I'm not running for prez.
The cost of a Presidency...its real and many of us know it.
I really have no idea what is going on but I will say this...I think Treian deserved a shot. I have known him for as long as I have been in this game...it actually pains me to see him once again being given the brush off.
Maybe next time Treian...God knows I think your a damn good person and a fine asset to eCan!
"Treian: There is nothing in this article about war plans. I assume you see that the whole "balanced budget and expenditures on MUs" thing was a Rolo ruse. So now you are onto war planning."
Actually, Treian is probably basing his comments on Aeriala's "goals" that he set for his presidency which include taken over all of the UK. We've only tried doing that, what, 4 times now? And everytime it's failed. Aeriala is repeating the same action and expecting a different result. Einstein said something about people who do that.
Treian is very very solid. Last election he came in second to a player who had advertised that he knew nothing about the military module and that the game bored him. This time, he gets scre**d over by PPs forgetting to propose him in game though he won two party polls. sigghhh. Oh btw, Acacia, there is a plan to have those same PPs replace the Court. Alternatively, it is said the congress could replace the Court: the same congress that doesn't have a speaker. 🙂 eCanada is nothing if not interesting.
muglack: yes, i read Treian's previous piece which made the connnection to the national goals. Question: does anyone take the national goals seriously? Isn't it a really big stretch to go from those proposed national goals to the eventual secret war plan. As with alias, i'm not buying it. War plans will be made in consultation with congress, strategists and military units that are expected to deliver damage no matter who is elected.
screw democracy, ANARCHY! thats the way to go peeps.
also goodluck o/

Terra is in no way supporting the attack on eJapan and as SC i wasn't informed about it.
Squibeel
- Terra Supreme Commander.
He probably posted in one of your 17 useless Googledocs, and people seemed ok with it.
As far as i'm aware, we only have one googledoc.
