WTP - Party Update!

Day 4,148, 09:41 Published in USA USA by Dominar Rygel XVI

It's your friendly neighborhood Dominar checking in here! I wanted to provide an update on what has been happening in the party. First, a bit of some nasty business. Many have seen the recent antics of Snow Sunday, and I felt it has come to the point where I should address this issue publicly. His complaints make absolutely no logical sense, and is now seemingly being used as some sort of focal point for anyone who holds disdain for our party. He ran for Party President, Congress, and Country President all in the same month, and in a month where if we ran a better opposition candidate it is possible we could have won. Not only that, if you go back and check every Congressional Election since the WTP/-SFP outcast merger he has been elected to Congress more than ANY other member in our party. I have voluntarily left myself out of consideration for Congress nearly every month to make room for other people.

The craziness started when a lot of us in the party wanted to pick StrideR 83 as PP and switch to a system in which no single person holds the PP seat for consecutive months. His behavior also had become rather erratic at this point, although it has only gotten much worse since. He was left out of Congress for what might actually be the only time ever. After this, all his rhetoric and endless spam posts and articles about how corrupt and authoritarian we are started. We have given him many chances to change his attitude, and yet he continues to issue threats and ultimatums. Despite having a more forgiving attitude than others may in WTP, I have also had enough. When he finishes middle school and stops behaving in a loony way, then he can talk to us. This is WTP. We try to be fair to everyone, and we will not be extorted or bullied.

In this month's Congress elections, we narrowly missed keeping our tenth seat, which we are of course a bit disappointed by. Our numbers were almost what they were last time though, despite the fact that right now we are in a tight race to regain the #1 spot in party rankings. We have to do better in terms of retaining members, and with the rest of my term I will try to turn this around as best I can. All help is appreciated!

I will be forming new party groups within a day or so after the publication of this article. One of the things I have tried to do is make sure new members are fully in the loop within a reasonable span of time, so that everyone can have a voice in shaping WTP. One of the issues we have to discuss is the upcoming CP election. All options are on the table, and we will see what the party feels is best for the country.

As for any other ideas, or ways you want to help, as always... my throne room is open, so just let me know. 🙂
