Dr Strangelove Or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the high-seas
AMD.
Morning All.
This is essentially just a quick note on the current state of eUK and the way things have been going the last couple of months.
Some light listening
Essentially, the one word theme that can some up the last couple of months of proceedings is as such;
Complacency.
Feel free to agree, disagree, laugh, cry. I don't really mind. But one thing that cannot be in doubt that since the first JamesW term, what have we actually done?
Critics argue we have built up a sufficient stash of money etc etc. What are we using it for? What projects other than the New Player Foundation? Is it to stop an MTO (lololol) or to hold off a foreign invasion?
Well that certainly came in handy if that is the case.
I am not saying I am blame free on the matter. We all know my record in the past has been mixed. I have had ups and downs. And I was JamesW very sub-par MoFA for at least one or two terms. So yeah. And I will admit it. I got bored. The same thing made me bored every day. What was the point of logging in day in day out?
Back in the day and high point of my activity, the thrill of having to log in and wonder which forig I'd have to shout at on IRC today was what kept me logging in. We have settled in this eNation for what we have. Which wasn't always a problem.
Fast forward to earlier this month. The country is under MTO. I was a staunch member of the "pro democracy" team with a fresh CP coming in under MIK. I was excited. I have worked with MIK most of my eRep career. And all of thos amazing campaign promises and pledges to look forward to. And then nothing.
We had a national lottery. We had NPF articles. That's about it. Where is this strong government in exile we were promised? Honestly this lack of, well honestly lack of caring is what has really annoyed me. We are so complacent that something interesting comes along, and we do exactly the same.
Now I'm a realistic guy. UKs Finest isn't going to hold onto the dictatorship indefinitely. But someone else could easily swoop in and do it. I know where I would rather be in the months moving forward, the place where people seem to be actively talking to each other and having fun.
My major reluctance here is leaving my home, the Workers Rights Party. A party I have been a member of for just under four years, and the president of for over 2 years. You could argue in the last four years the party has essentially become myself and Huey George, who of course I am sure will do an oustanding job. But I'm sick of piloting a ghost ship. It is time to shake things up and join the jolly folks on the pirate ship.
So these have just been a few of my thoughts on the proceeding, and I cannot wait for my staunch former opponents aboard the pirate ship to embrace me openly.
Now don’t get me wrong. I love seeing what TUP do with new player retention (if they are in fact NEW players of course)
But what will you do about keeping old players here?

eUK is boring
I am joining the Pirate Ship.
UKSF is gonna pay me like 800cc per click so that's pretty much the main reason.

I agree, and disagree hahaha :'(
I think you should be MoFa.
Best mofa ever
Hey Norway do you wanna have a war?
wow, now you are making even me think you shouldn't be MoFa.
Friendly war
Sorry to see you depart from the Workers' Rights Party, my thanks to you for all you've done within the party.
All the best in your new party, I hope they make you feel welcomed (if they don't you'll always be welcomed back to the WRP o/).
Thank you Huey. As I told you in private it was a very difficult decision for me to leave after almost four years. I hope our paths cross again one day! O7
In before Wizard Kelly starts poaching our members.
no u
I'm surprised you still haven't been banned for being a multie.
I prefer over easy.
Will take some time getting used to this...
But good to have another Jew in the party, I guess.
Hope you enjoy your new political home!
Why not go for CP that should liven it up a bit?

AMD, don't make me laugh. You've always been a sad little man with brown on your nose. You kissed up to jamesw when it was convenient, now you're kissing up to the new guy. Let's face it, in six months you'll be kissing up to the new guy.
I don't know whether to laugh at you or pity you. You never supported democracy, you only ever supported whoever you thought the cool kids were. The only reason you didn't join PCP earlier is because they think you're a brown nose too and like you as little as anyone else does. Well good look being the butt of their jokes, hope you enjoy yourself. WRP is far better off without you.
Are you ok mate?
I think you might want to reduce your caffeine intake Iain.
You really are an angry bitter man.
Not sure you put, enough bile into this comment? "You never..." disavowing style, where have I heard that before... AMD is a good political figure who works effectively instead of bitching across party lines. However supporting a government doesn't mean for life, when he can see it's going nowhere, time to walk. Why do you think we'd be actively recruiting him?
Anyway, you know all about staying the course and sticking by your team eh?
moist
Surely nothing can be moist when there is so much salt in the air??
It worked ❤️
He wouldn't be welcomed in TUP because he can think for himself...
I was never gonna join TUP let’s be real mate
As if you'd be welcome in TUP.
I think you need to cut the salt from your diet. On a similar note I recently reduced my soy intake so I can offer some tips if you need it.
PCP literally preferred Billy to you for CP. They've treated you with consistent and deserved contempt for your habit of kissing backsides whenever they pass. The only reason you haven't joined previously is you didn't think you'd be welcome. Unsurprising you slithered over at the first opportunity though.
Funnily enough I do have this thing called party loyalty. It’s why I never in my four years so far had left. Even when we were out of the top 5 for six months. The biggest thing weighing on my mind therefore was leaving the WRP and Huey. Something I’ve actually been debating for quite a long time. You can ask your pal MIK if you want and he will confirm that.
So believe and say what you want Spite. Because I don’t really give a fuck

"You never supported democracy" said the man who immediately jumped the country to protect his own finances rather than hang around...
Why the need to be in a party in the first place?
just for that I'm gonna include you in the next pron folder
I'm banned then...
Tbh, I'm in a party because I don't like it when that section on my profile is empty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Same reason tbh
Who wouldn't want to be in the UHP
Because sitting at home drinking on your own is sad and pathetic, sitting at a party drinking you can pretend you're doing it to be sociable.
I see Keers has already welcomed you to the party.
best accident of the gov-in-exile so far imo
What gov in exile?
Embracing you openly is a bit gay, I don't think wayne's ready to come out to everyone like that yet
I’ll embrace you openly if you know what I mean
