The Uncivil War - UKPP Party Review

Day 3,511, 06:00 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Topher Fair

This week I'm going to look at the state of the UK, with each article focusing on one of our political parties.

Last week I interviewed the Party Presidents of the top five parties and while I've not been around for a few years, I saw many of the same names and the same issues as when I played long ago. So while I may be slightly out of the loop and would appreciate lots of comments (positive and negative!), I think I can also be quite neutral about the current situation.

Yesterday I analysed the The Unity Party (TUP) and I'm still being told that I'm hopelessly out of date, you see I remmeber the parties doing both good and bad things but apparently now they just do nothing! So let's get on with what UKPP was like half a decade ago...



UKPP was the third major party to emerge in the UK. UKRP came and changed the UK and put in place organisation and structures to manage UK players, then they ran out of steam and became a barrier to further improvements. Then TUP came and changed the UK and made those organisations relate to the actual game we were playing in a way everyone can understand, then ran out of steam and became a barrier to further improvements.

UKPP came in as a clique focused on fighting and wars. They go for the "military victory", combining government, party and military unit organisation to better lead battles.

UKPP brings a number of positive qualities to eUK:
* UKPP is a revolutionary force which points out and fights the corruption and incompetence of the decrepid older parties, getting them out of power when they get too damaging.

* UKPP bring a focus onto the military, wars and fighting which the other parties don't have as they focus on cultural and diplomatic ideas. Something crucial for the war half of this war and politics simulator. Why should parties and military units be seperated?

* UKPP occasionally operates outside the social conventions and rules of the game, doing what has to be done (such as impeaching a Country President and seizing power) for the best interests of the whole UK.

UKPP have also caused great damage to the UK:
* UKPP are abrasive in their pursuit of progression and don't get full support for the good things they want to do. They threaten the position of inactive, unimaginitive players rather than working with them and winning their support.

* UKPP have a veneer of untrustworthiness, they can be seen as a threat to the UK themselves like other parties never were. Players from UKPP may be unfairly slandered to start with, but some of them live up to it and actually do everything they are accused of.

* UKPP never really delivered on the promise of overthrowing the older parties. They lost their Royal Navy MU and a few strong players to "not being political" early on and lost part of their appeal. They run out of steam and are a barrier to improving the UK themselves now.



I'm glad to see that UKPP still has some life and energy left in it, they seem to have just taken over the UK Government from the talentless inactive american fruad Dishmcds. I've decided to join UKPP to throw my support behind that for the moment, but I'd like to remind them that they were so much more.
