[ Clan Wolf ] New Era Begins
•
by Mochan Drust
Time has come to choose our path to the future. Many have decided that they know what is the best for our great pack but only one will step up as a pack leader.
I, Mochan Drust, ex-MoFA of e Canada and current congressman in PEI, have decided to make that step into the spotlight and lead us into new era.
Time has come for eCanada to know that Clan Wolf is not just a party. It is a community where we help each other, where we are all brothers and companions in hunt. We are not just a party, just colleagues, we are a pack and no prey shall escape from us.
The AFK ( a.k.a Clan Wolf ) was created with one purpose: To be home to everyone who is not active on the net as the other players.
But that is now behind us. Tyrael Snow changed the name from The AFK to Clan Wolf because the party grew into strong pack of hunters. Wolves !! We are no longer mass of two clickers, we are now strong enemies of the ruling class.
My goal is simple: „Fight against tyranny and corruption. Fight, so eCanadian people have a choice when the elections come. Fight, so you have a choice to make eCanada more productive and much more fun.“
As a MoFA during Jacobis presidental term, I have done a lot of work for eCanada and I made friends form governments all around the world. I proved to myself and others that I'm capable of handling the presure and doing what needs to be done. I have expierience in politics. I was a citizen of eUSA, eDenmark, eBosnia and Herzegovina.
I speak English, Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian fluently and I understand a little bit Russian, Macedonian, Slovenian, Slovakian. I also know the basics of French, German, Italian and Spanish.
I worked a lot with Tyrael Snow on taking the Coalition down and putting Clan Wolf on the top. I tried to help him in every possible way. I spoke with him almost every day about everything that concerned eCanada.
Many of you know me, some of you don't, but I'm sure that you all know that Clan Wolf needs firm hand to guide us in these times.
I will not just keep things as they are so Tyrael Snow finds in a month or two that things are the same. No!! I will do everything in my power to strengthen our position on top and make Clan Wolf much more efficiant as a pack so when Tyrael returns he find Clan Wolf stronger than ever.
My attidute is known to you, I hope. As a congressman I have proposed a law for higher minimal wages that was turned down. I also started a discussion about minimum wage but noone wanted to discuss that matter. What I'm trying to say is that I stand for:
- lower taxes
- higher minimal wages
- changes in MU funding ( only Division 1 and Division 2 should be funded, and government should give some money to MUs as a help to become selfsuficient )
In other words, I stand for cheaper and easier life for eCanadian people.
As our great president used to say: „WINTER IS COMING“
It is inevitable. The AFK stood against tyranny and corruption - The AFK stood against MDP/Norsefire coalition.
New era is coming. Choose your path my friends, but choose carefully. Wrong choice will destroy everything that Tyrael built for months. Don't let that huge effort be for nothing.
Don't go down without a fight, vote Mochan Drust for PP of Clan Wolf.
Also, Good luck to other candidates.

Lol very effective post btw.
I love it but just have a single question
Please explain in more details about the Minimum wages and how this will be enforced.
I do not mean to attack the idea at all as I actually really like this. I just am curious on how it can be enforced.
Thank you
Kevin
You are a worthy opponent. Best of luck on Saturday.

Minimum wages would be an excellent idea, if the Admins didn't set and control market prices. It is all fine and dandy to try and spur inflation my forcing company owners to raise salaries, but the Admins would react by spiking the price of weapons, food, etc, etc, basically screwing the little guy over just as bad as they are in the current system. The Admins want too force folks to use their credit cards in order to get ahead in the game. There's no quick fix, Plato won't allow it.
Without a PP Primary, Clan Wolf faces a large problem with vote-splitting between official candidates and the ones that would buy votes to PTO the party.Likely no one will be trying to do that this time around, yet something to consider.
"Higher Minimum Wage" ~ I never understood the logic behind that. Is it meant to take more taxes from the communes? Because it doesn't help getting more money to the workers...there are plenty high paying jobs to go after.
and that link you set up for oinyo on the minimum wage doesn't explain any reasoning for the min wage hike
Plugson, I explained that everything can be found on the forums where Addy posted a topic which I find really good. Addy has shown why he is the greatest once again.
Sorry, I thought you were AFKer (posting info in the game, instead keeping it all on the forum), but I guess you'd classfiy more as Wolf. I'll try to get on the forum someday to check out Addy's brilliance. I'm sure it solves our MU funding problems in a rather unexpected and counter-intuitive way.
Plug for the win!
Oh and Mochan congrats on the endorsement from Tyrael Snow. He had nothing but good words for you when he and I reconnected via PM. I wish, however, you were a little more engaged in this election. I have heard very little from you outside this article.
So you are a low tax/higher minimum wage guy. That's your plan to defeat the Coalition? Good luck with that.
@QMuffins: Taxes have nothing to do with the Coalition.
Winter is coming.
~oruu~
Messing with minimum wage and lowering taxes is not the answer. Most communes are working in the eUS for the benefit of the commune worker as it is. They are unaffected by the minimum wage. We already have a very low tax base. When you count people working in Canada for less than $10? Even worse. Income Taxes of any kind would bring in minimal cash flow.
That is why we need to raise VAT. The main cash flow comes from the buying and selling of goods, not the $1-$3.30 we get from income taxes.
Addy's logic was a failure on the minimum wage. He wants to force slave pits to waste money paying workers in cash, rather than spending that money more efficiently making supplies. Then of course, a small portion of the money taken out of the pockets of MUs will go back to the government as tax... So that the government can give it back to the MU? It's just wasteful. Not to mention not all MUs use slaves, so an MU will only get a few percent of that wasted money back.

MUs that have slave pits, basically don't need to be funded. They are selfsuficient. So taking money from them isn't so bad. They still get funds. We need eCanada to earn money, but to keep low taxes and low prices on th emarket. Addy explained the only way how we can achieve that.
Plugson: the PTO of Clan Wolf has been discussed. They are an incredibly easy target right now. With that said, however, it was decided to let them live, for now. They are too amusing to take out right now.
Leo,
with enough gold and CC any party in the eWorld can be PTOed.
Where did I mention a connection to taxes and the Coalition Mary? My point was that focusing on tired old issues like lower taxes, minimum wage and MU fund is not going to do a damned thing to help defeat the Coalition... if CW wants to govern, if it wants to finally get over the hump and actually have a member win the CP, it's gonna have rally the troops, and form its own alliances in order to defeat the Coalition. Clan Wolf, working alone, gets no where.
"Addy explained the only way how we can achieve that."
Can't agree with Addy. The only way is to get more bonuses. Money earned or lost by playing around with taxes is minimal compared to a 20% increase in production. And regarding minimum wage, most self-sufficient MUs have slaves in the eUS like ElPatoDiablo mentioned so you wont be taking money out of anyone.
Also Mochan Dust what is your view on the New Citizen Fee?
I remember that when Tyrael was forming the AFK the idea was to lower this to 5 CAD as most countries did. However I have never seen a proposal for this in congress. We are talking about savings of around $20'000 a month (equivalent to 2 MPP) considering we keep getting about 15 new users par day.
@Mochan: MU's that have slave pits are not entirely self-sufficient. The CoI has plenty of slave pits. However we are in the middle of a fundraising frive to be self-sufficient. Want to know how much that costs? $1.2 Million in CAD. That's a very large sum of money! Currently, that is equal to 1,644 Gold.
The whole cycle of, tax the MU Slaves (for $1) and then give that $1 back to them with MU funding, is ridiculous. You can barely do anything with that other $9 anyways.
Plus that tax means that over the course of time, we'd only get about $500-600 a day or $15,000-18,000 a month. One dollar from each worker. That's just a trickle in the larger cash flow, and only enough to fund one MPP. That's also being generous. That's assuming all MU members work as slaves.
The new minimum wage would be an inefficient and costly idea that is not worth attempting.
Mihai, to be honest I never thought about that. I do not have opinion about New Citizen Fee, but I'll think about it for sure.
I don't think raising minimum wage would do anything for helping the economy. A lot of people don't use workers and just produce what they sell on their own. Like me for example whatever I put on the market I produce by myself and do not have to worry about employee costs. So as such I would have an Absolute Advantage over those with workers due to high wages and low prices. In the end raising wages would just make Communes less effect, upsetting some military groups, and quite possibly create
less jobs as the profit margin decreases. And that would just make the economy worse off. A possible solution to an economy fix would be to offer incentives to people who sell at higher prices (i.e. If you sell for RM's for 0.30 Cad you get a tax refund) or something along that line. But the majorflaw in something like this would be a regulatory system to make sure people are actually selling for more then the set price. That is something that still eludes me, but maybe someone else has an idea?
I am very carefully reading everything in this threat. People make extremely good points and it is not something to be rushed into for sure. Perhaps we as a clan should have an article dedicated to this completely where everyone can put in their ideas and reasons and we can simply talk it out until we find something that works. Or at least is semi working until we tweak it to perfection.
But lets save that until after the elections. It is a giant undertaking that will take a lot of energy.
There is no way to tweak this to perfection. Raising minimum wage is a bad idea. It forces communes who are left in Canada to move out and all other jobs would be above that $10 threshold. Plus, the amount gained is a minimal percentage that is not worth the trouble created by the proposal.
Lower taxes at this time also does not make sense unless we decide to completely cut all MU funding, which won't happen. Want more revenue? Want gov't to fund MU's? Lowering taxes won't help.
Lowering taxes might sound good to people, they get to keep more money. However, it makes no practical sense. Lowering taxes, especially VAT, is only going to increase our current problem.
Its a hard truth but VAT taxes must be raised to fix our gov't shortfall. It might not sound like fun, but its really our only option.
Sorry Diablo I don't mean just the taxes or Min wage. I mean the finance part as a whole. I know there is no way to tweak to perfection and to be honest the best idea may just be to keep things they way they are.
But I believe we need a open forum for everyone to voice their opinion so that we can have an informed decision.
Yep! Well if you go to the eCan forums, Congress is having a tax discussion in the Open Door Congress in the Legislative section of the forum. There have been several ideas thrown around. Feel free to read the discussions, although only congressmen and cabinet members can post, I believe.
Tough decisions ahead of whom to lead the clan, each candidate have interesting platforms and good intentions of continuing Tyrael's work.
I think whomever wins are gonna have some big shoes to fill.
I'm talking clown size shoes.
You know what they say about men with big feet eh?
So you only want to supply d1 and 2 players? But hen raise the minimum wage to screw communes for the unfunded d3 and 4 players?
