The call of the MOO
•
by Randall Flagg 1999
Well I feel like breaking my long media silence to shower upon you readers some idea what has been going on in ma head for the past few weeks.
So excuse me while I pony up to the old typing machine...
That's better....
So, the first order of business is explaining why I have left the Canadian Progressive Front for the Ministry of Opportunity.
For the past several weeks following my departure from party president of the CPF I have been struggling to mind my place in eCanada. A number of options ran through my head ranging from going on tour to straight up taking a break from erep. Instead I opted to more or less two-click. (with the exception of the distribution of weapons for the Tuesday Fight Night in the Captains of Industry MU).
But after reading Addy's plan for a revitalized MOO I had to ask myself, am I doing any good where I currently am? The CPF is a wonderful political group of people and I am proud to have served with them for many moons. But it is time for a new cadre of players to start picking up the reigns (IMO) so it will be interesting to see where things go there (nudge nudge Michael23?).
Therefore I see in a new MOO somewhere where I can lend a hand and help create something new and give me some purpose here again. I have joined this party in the hopes that MOO will be able to be a new party with no old grudges. A blank slate that is open to all and opposed to none.
I clearly see this in the 8 Opportunities listed as the parties ideals.
Character platform:
Opportunity #1: Don't be a dick.
Opportunity #2: Pay It Foward.
Opportunity #3: Forgive and Forget
Opportunity #4: Act With Integrity
Game platform:
Opportunity #5: Be A Good Ally
Opportunity #6: Relentlessly Pursue Self-Sufficiency
Opportunity #7: Know Your Stuff
Opportunity #8: Government's Role Is To Provide A Competitive Advantage
For more details check out Addy's article here:

For now I will continue to drop the odd article to lay out random thoughts that come to mind about the potential of MOO.

Thanks for mentioning me in the article Randall. I'm sad to see you go from the CPF. I had a great time being your VP as well as being Auk's PP. I don't think my time to lead the CPF has come yet but maybe the time will come some time in the future who knows. Anyway, thanks and good luck to you.
MOO is a tempting venture to join. I'd probably give it a shot if I were wanting to get into politics. Still, those opportunities can be promoted in other ways beyond a political party, such as in an MU or just one's media/shout presence.
#5 and #8 is where MOO will need Congressmen to advance those aims. The other 6 are a sensible way to approach the game. Though, perhaps there are 'political' applications to them that I'm not seeing atm.

Who knows, maybe this whole venture will fall flat on it's face XD
What I want to see is a MOO that will be working i conjunction with all parties, so there will be no bridge burning on my part 😛
Also, yes Plugson, I do try and encourage a positive eCanada anyway. This will provide another nice outlet.

Mooses are cooler then cows.

So you admit the moose has more to offer then the cow? Antlers for the win.
Assuming antlers are what you are looking for 😛
Thanks for the support Randall, I'm sorry I was not around much the last week to build momentum on my initial article. I was out of country on vacation.
Things will pick up steam now that I'm back.
