Sorry CPP....
Ralph Kline
With a heavy heart I watch as our party is taken over. Should have known with the influx of multis in the last while. Tomorrow will likely see another chapter of Norsefire created. For what purpose, I don't know. I really don't care to know.
Months ago, I wrote of the political trouble that infects this country. With some disregard to democracy, I forged ahead. With the political link of CPP and CSD Military Unit, I had hoped to build a larger and stronger force. One that was able to withstand the manipulations of a true sociopath and his followers. To some degree, it looked like it was working. We grew quickly, but with a cost. We lost a lot of good people and became a target.
I honestly thought I could protect you from this. I was wrong. For that I am deeply sorry.
I do still believe in eCanada, there are a great many good people here. We will prevail. Moreover, we will all find common political ground.
That is the one good thing that this type of adversity will teach us!
To all the CPP members that voted for me today, I thank you. To all those that tried so hard to stop this, I thank you.
I will quit this party as soon as I see it's officially taken over. I would encourage everyone in the CPP to do the same, it's not coming back anytime soon. There has been talk of starting a new party and migrating. I won't be. Gonna head over to EPIC, hope you all join me. 🙂

Once again Canada proves they'd rather have some tanks then do the right thing.

We Tried Our Dam Well Best.
SAWC talking of "doing the right thing"
Don't make me laugh....
Ralph, this is not your fault
You can thank Ethel Rosenberg - she knows what she did..
DAL, CPP, who's next?
Don't forget the UN and MOO Dierios....
"Once again Canada proves they'd rather have some tanks then do the right thing."
SAWC, you're hilarious. You don't speak from higher moral ground than Rolo, you are part of the problem you are complaining about.
Complacency is a bitch, it sneaks up on us, and the hyenas take advantage.
Oh well, Ralph. At least I voted for ya--you were winning then, @ 5 AM this morning lol.
Adios CPP, for now anyways. Off to TCO.
Good luck to everyparadoxian else I've served with.
Yea because im PTO'ing a top 5 party by paying 30 q6 tanks each..........
I speak from higher ground than rolo you know why?
Because he's a genuine douchenozzle , I'm just a dick who likes to call out Fail president who can't even finish out a CP term after some bullshit excuse of being threatened with personal info even though you did the exact same thing to wall.

So EPIC will be our Alamo, huh.
There goes another one. But hey, trust the patriot.
One for all and all for Rolo!
Or maybe our Fort Walsh...for the CanCon folks. 'Circle yer wagons' works some of the time. Hopefully here, too.
^this
Thank you Plugson. This is what we need more of.
"With a heavy heart I watch as our party is taken over. Should have known with the influx of multis in the last while."
Are you really that delusional, Ralph? CPP has always been a home to huge amounts of multis. Perhaps you've forgotten the reputation that CPP used to have (before it became the Canadian Puppet Party.) It's not fair to put all the blame on yourself, I truly liked your ideas in your last article, "Towards Unity". But, instead of doing something then, you let Ethel further destroy the party.
Sure, everyone can hate on me, it's all good, it's what I look for in commenting. That said, I remember having conversations back in May of last year about how CPP needed to die and start something new. Conversations that included a certain CPP founder even.
Final thought: If CPP was so important to you, why didn't you at least write an article about wanting to win PP. Not that that may have helped your chances, but the lack of an article further led to the belief that there was no one at the helm of CPP that cared.
Everyone can blame this on Rolo and me, but the real blame needs to be put on all of eCanada. The fact that people only care after the fact is pretty sad. And don't go thinking that EPIC will be a stronghold. EPIC hasn't stood for anything in the year I've played, probably never stood for anything at all.
looks like nothing changed since I left, huh
"And don't go thinking that EPIC will be a stronghold. EPIC hasn't stood for anything in the year I've played, probably never stood for anything at all."
...lies and slander! At the time EPIC was founded (by myself and Ozymandias Malifozik) there was a lot of political filibustering and verbal attacks. Part of the reason I put so much effort into EPIC was to provide a place where ANY opinion was considered, and debated rationally, rather than devolving into personal attacks. It was a party devoted to friendship and community rather than ideology, as it was shown how divisive it can be, even in a browser game.
...but this was a year before you started playing. Can't blame you for making misleading generalities though. It must be something in the air...
Don't even care anymore.
I certainly feel your pain, it is yet another sad day for eCanada. All are welcome to use EPIC as a refuge or stay-over in the hopes of rebuilding the parties decimated or destroyed by foolish boredom and immaturity.
Thanks Roger o7
And the DAL falls again...
eCanada mades its choice for Rolo as a "villian" when we continue to refuse to include him.
Hell SWAC is back in CAF high command and he didnt even get illegally impeached, just plain stole money and leaked CDC crap.
Not saying stealing the treasury was right, of course it wasnt, but eCanada's government was not blameless...did AMM even get a forum ban for starting an illegal impeachment starting us on the road we find ourselves on now.
Time to call a truce, wipe the slate clean and start over....if thats even in the cards now.
oh and not your fault Ralph
plus you have other options other than...yawn....EPIC
At what point do the outcasts start being considered the insiders?
Because the way I see it right now the "Outsiders" control 3 of the top 6 parties.
we all tried
Let me guess, Kronos Q is busy sleeping atm...
"...SWAC is back in CAF high command..."
This is why eCanada cannot have nice things.
I am sorry to hear this news Ralph. Your certainly one of the "white hats" in this game and to see your party taken is upsetting.
Don't spend too much time blaming yourself...you and I both know your time is better spent on find solutions instead of searching for what could have been.
@crisfire no truce, no forgiveness for scoundrels. Every time he acts up, folks rush to forgive him. That's working out so well, isn't it?
Those who preach forgiveness assume that surrender will end evil. it just permits it free reign. period.
"eCanada mades (sic) its choice for Rolo as a "villian" (sic) when we continue to refuse to include him."
Yeah, you're right. We probably should stop trying to fight back and try to enjoy it.
@Octavian,
I don't understand what you want the CP to do? Your party should've had it's crap in order.
I voted for Rolo and all I got was this lousy t-shirt...
SWAC back in CAF High Command.
Make me CAF general again and things will be like before Addy took over 😛
Yea because unlike 80% of the douchenozzles in this country i actually do my job and get shit done.
@ A R Carlyle...
You're a tard. we've never forgiven them.
I'm telling you guys, CVP is the way to go.
ya cuase if the CPP can be taken then the CVP is safe
time to get Rolo on our side eCanada.
^ APPEASER! \o/
No one is safe! It's a rolocalypse! Run for your balls!
Beeman hit the nail on the head.
With 0 planning Rolo was able to take the top party in eCanada with ~150 votes.
That makes every party a viable target. If you don't want to be next you need to enliven your membership, get the 2clickers more active, and actually start paying attention.
These parties that nominate and elect Congressmen that never show up, or don't even bother to abstain on votes to let them meet quorum are gonna have to start changing the way they do business.
Make people earn their spots on the Congress ballots, don't just give them out.
Make eCanada better, by making your parties better.
Muglack: thats why i proposed this: http://tinyurl.com/castrate-rolo
Beeman, you simply don't get it.
How about you enlighten me then?
I am new to Erepublik, what is Norsefire about, not sure exactly what everyone is saying, besides it's bad.
George, I'll try this once more. Don't feed the trolls. If you don't get it now, you're never going to learn.
Well Jax if you want the long end of history, the narrative starts in this following article and then proceeds downhill from there onwards:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-norsefire-party-is-born--237261/1/20
Bascially, Sutler was a major force in creating the original Constitution which enshrined different sectors of the forumGovernment, such as the Judicial/Executive/Parliament tripartite, as well as established a base of companies that formed the Ministry of Industries:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/report-on-the-ministry-of-industries-it-s-purpose-and-functionings-819595/1/20
All went silent on the Norsefire front for a long period after Sutler left, until in a moment of lulziness, a prominent eCanadian invoked the inverse of Adam Sutler to refute the Supreme Court:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/in-the-words-of-adam-sutler--1359740/1/20
A series of revolts against the constitutional foundations of eCanada ensued, which included the decimation of the Ministry of Industries while Rolo Tahmasee was President. He later 'reclaimed' the Norsefire Party through a mirror darkly and has since then been steadily usurping political parties, all with bascially the intent of rubbing our noses in it.
Norsefire did have positive connotations once upon a time, just so you know, Jax.
I find it interesting to note that several Canadians apparently believe that a rape victim is the blame for their rape. This notion of blaming Canadians for not preventing it, makes them at fault a fallacy. The victim, in this Canada and the CPP is not to blame, Rolo and his ilk are. Canadians failed to protect themselves, that does not in any way make them responsible for the situation.
im not in the political game but i notice no difference what party is in power....
