Hello eNL,

As the title points out yes i am indeed running for cp. I'm not doing it for the medal or the glory (already have the medal and to be fair there isn't much glory in being cp).

I'm doing it to make sure eNL can remain a somewhat active player in the eWorld, we have all seen less and less activity in the game, many of the older generation have either quit politics, moved away or gave up on the game entirely, sadly a new generation of active people hasn't really stepped forward, yes once in a while we get a new face but most of them usually don't last very long, they either become jaded with the game, or look for greener pastures in another country.

But i'm willing to give it at least 1 more try so eNL might have a shot at relevance today and in the future, that's why i hope that people will step forward that in the past haven't done anything political related, or have tried it a long time ago and gave up. We need you! politics is part of this game, you might not like it or think it isn't true, but this game isn't all about clicking that fight button, before that fight button shows up in your MU politics have happened, before that link in the mu shout to fight in that rw or that dictator battle politics have happened.

If you don't step forward to do something for you country it is very likely that in a few months our country will be history, because without people that do the politics a country is a pariah on the eWorld stage. Without politics we don't have an alliance, we don't have friends helping us out or us helping friends out on the battlefield.

Now i know some of you out there don't like me, some of you might not even trust me, but i've always been there for the country, have always done what i thought was best for the country, and have served my country in numerous positions. And i'm asking you! to now do the same, step forward and join my government, help our country so we can have a future!

Currently these people have stepped forward, but they can use help! learn the ropes from some of the experienced hands, so you can become experienced! You can either contact me directly or the Minister of the department you are interested in.

I think Odan can be trusted. He loves the eNetherlands.
He was there, is there and will be there.
Good luck Odan!

At least you're someone active enough to write an article. 😉
Which makes you currently automatically the best candidate.

I hope you manage to form a bigger gov. I know Shawtyl0w was very hesitant to run himself with the low number of people interested in filling the ministries. So I'm glad with what we got...

odan Day 3,240, 06:28

As do i, but perhaps you could be one of the people to help with that.

Although you haven't been super active yourself lately, you do have experience, and perhaps you could even in an advisory capacity give some of that to a new generation?

Well, you will do better than the other candidates I guess.

However if your activity as commander of DAF and the implementation of your big plans with DAF from your previous term are to be an indication I think its better to vote either one of the others as nothing is happening/ has happened.... 🙁

odan Day 3,240, 08:46

Most of the ideas i had for DaF were later improved and implemented into law. and we are currently still using that. has it been perfect? No, but the command team is constantly working on it and ideas are always welcome.

yes activity has been a little less lately, but work was a killer, both in terms of activity and time i could even spent online.

there is only 1 other candidate, however we haven't seen anything from that candidate in terms of activity in months. if the country wants that person in charge that is their choice, however if that were to happen i believe we will have reached the exact point i'm trying to prevent us from falling into.

Weekstrom Day 3,240, 10:41

One official and one announced that he would run. Makes two. Although it indeed remains to be seen if it becomes serious 😉

As for improvements and such; None of the soldiers will have noticed. Writing it in a (forum) law does not make it work in-game you know. And if you want it to work it should start with an active commander relaying the improvements. But I guess there are none for the soldiers.

What is to be noticed is the amount of active fighters that dropped since the commander change (halved in 2 months time but I stopped recording it soon after that as I wasn't commander anymore and decided to (try to) not care anymore.
Also the amount of damage done by DAF (and therefore eNL) declined hard and around 80-90% off it was done by two-three players which are rather sad statistics. Laws (or politics) won't improve those...

odan Day 3,240, 11:36

'the one that announced isn't allowed to run because of blacklisting. so even had he found a party to run from he would never be recognized as cp.

the whole process was shared when it became law, the restructuring was also shared. In the time since the commander change only 1 MU event happened and although that wasn't a success that can mostly be attributed to lack of interest from players.

Yes a decline in damage indeed. but with the exception of a few players that left because of political reasons, most of the others simply stopped playing the game or are in 2 click mode waiting for something, or simply don't care for the game any more. The changing of commanders can't be blamed for that, but if that it really is the reason than it proofs those players are loyal to an individual and not the country. and that is a whole different problem.

Weekstrom Day 3,240, 13:03

That blacklisting is a forum action. Can't be forced in-game so he can run. Sure, impeachment will solve it but still.

Restructuring has been done. From what I've seen and read in the feed back then no one understood and it only provided extra work for the command team. Something that was not done afterwards.

I don't think the drop in damage was caused by players being loyal to an individual. From what I heard from those that answered my question why they stopped fighting it all came down to the fact politicians were calling the shots now in DAF. So it's not depending on an individual but on a type of player.

As activities from a commander; I don't refer to MU events. It's about simply being active helping people, messaging things, links to articles, free goods, sharing tips. All kind off game related stuff. Current commander does not show himself which helps making it a dead MU.

odan Day 3,240, 13:32

actually it is still done. we keep the divisions updated on a montly basis (sometimes it takes a little longer because of the vacation period)

DaF is a state MU it was always in the hands of politicians. just because player is not a politician and player b is. doesn't change the fact that the MU is always supposed to follow gov commands and orders.

that's where the beauty of the restructuring comes into effect. all new members come into reg1. that is under the control of a captain that is in charge of helping new players. important articles get shared by the command team / government members.

Weekstrom Day 3,242, 01:54

Its not about following orders Odan. That never has been the issue since DAF was declared the only state MU. The fact you bring that up underlines you don't understand. Nor do important (gov) articles do the trick. Spoken like a true politician with little to no interest in the major part of the game. The thing most players focus on nowadays given the fact economy is dead for ages as is politics for quite some time now.

As for the changes you describe; Apart from the way older players are divided over divisions nothing is new. New players always were put in D1 to be taught the basics, get the DAFavatar and after that be "promoted" to the next divisions.
And that new way of spreading brings us.... nothing indeed. Well apart from players not knowing how its done as it seems rather random where the sword structure we had was way more clear. Players were active in the sense the new where they belonged, messaged about temporarily leaving and being placed back in their division and so on. The felt like belonging to a regiment, being part of a special section within DAF. Even with their own chat for specific matters regarding their division if their captain was active enough...
