[CP] Oinyo, A man, A term, A story
•
by Oinyo
For everyone that seems to be shooting me down for some reason or another..
I want people to know I did not sit on my hands this month
No one that has not been in this spot knows the joy of it and how slow things actually go.
I am on every weekday from 8 am to 11 pm with 3-4 hours off inbetween and I gave myself weekends off.
Thats easily over 55 hours a week. More than a full time job.
The mail is easily over 50 - 80 a day to reply to as well as irc talks that go on for weeks at a time.
I started my daily logs only to be told by 100% of the people to stop as it was too much and to switch to weekly reports. This was done and I ended up seeing posts that I am not talking anymore.. :/
The expectations are unrealistic and everyone focuses on the negative while ignoring the positives that happened. This is 100% to be expected by anyone running for CP but it still is not something rewarding nor does it leave you happy.
I have gotten us more allies than we have ever had since I joined.
I gave us the option to join COT within my term and be seated with it. It was voted down by our population.
I got us closer to the states with a bold move that gained us a lot of respect.
I have brought countries to our side that we have never bothered to talk to before. One of these countries (Saudi Arabia) Put out more dmg for us than any country I have ever seen in our RW's
I tried the political way to get ecan Free and it failed. eSpain played a fun game with us watching us vote up THEIR proposal to us only yo then tell us no. They are afraid we would invade them if they gave us any land back?!? And then they cut off communications.
I tried the political way to get is into a stronger alliance so we could get more backing = It was voted down. Most of our population want to stick in ASGARD.
I tried multiple RW's they all got smashed. The first one was a disaster. We had a good amount of support and players buying merks. I myself put 75$ into the fight from ym credit card to buy mercs and we still couldnt win against a population that didnt spend a dime and had no outside support. The squashed us with just what they had and nothing more...
So.. I massed us allies. As many as I could. Power is in numbers and we are comfy in our 3 person alliance with few to little other friends. Well now we have many and we are getting a little closer each RW.
If you want to criticize me hop in the big chair and do better. This is what you need to do to further stengthen eCan. With the mass exodus we are seeing from parties and other players things are getting harder and harder. We need a strong leader to push us forward more and that could very well be you!
It seems I have been chosen to be the CW candidate for next month
What would happen if I win the next election?
Well I would only have 20 days as I am off to Meaford for military training near the end of the term.. So I will promise the following.
I will be a complete dictator.
I will not hold votes. The only people that will have a say in things is my cabinet.
We will join COT.
We will talk to eSpain and make a deal. If its rent. Well then its rent. If they want all our land but 3. Well we get 3 land.
My cabinet? It stays the same.
If you do not like these 2 facts then dont vote for me and vote for anyone else.
Because if I get voted in again these will be the only 2 things I work on. Nothing else will matter in that month other than maintaining relations with all of our new allies.
Thank you for the term.
I hope I did more good than bad in the time you have given me and good luck to the next person to sit in the chair 🙂
You will have a ton of allies and friends to work with now.. Use them but do not abuse them. We will need them if we have any chance to get eCan back

"I myself put 75$ into the fight from my credit card" I lol'd.
Also, if you don't want the nomination, there used to be a way to drop out, and it probably still works.
Haha. Accepting failure is the first step, Oinyo. You blew it.
Good riddance.

~ Ya Blew it.
This whole month, basically, was a giant ya blew it segment
It shouldn't come as a surprise one of Oinyo's biggest critics turned tail and ran.
I prefer "tucked and rolled". When I see a catastrophe about to happen, I don't wait around for the explosion and aftermath. Some of us have foresight, others do not.
That is a pathetic execuse if I've ever seen one.
Apparently you don't know the definition of the word excuse...
Buck. the master of "The sky is falling" Runs away and hides then peeks around the corner to throw temper tantrums from behind the wall..
There was no failing.
We are better off than we were minus people leaving.. But that always happens and we have been shrinking since April.
Stop being a idiot..
There was no failure this month at all? You left. We obtained more allies than ever before.
Our global respect level is incredibly high now and many countries love us.
Are you talking about me not getting us eCan back? Well if thats the case then everyone for the last 5 months failed.
But to be honest. You arent eCanadian and you havent been all term so who cares what you think lol.
Apparently you do 😉
If the sky was falling before, you brought it right down. You failed, just admit it.

Shhh buck.. Your turning green and lumpy.. Go back under your bridge
Speaking the truth makes me a troll? Ha.
I ain't even mad brah.
"If its rent. Well then its rent."
You Lost my vote here.
I know. Failing to use an apostrophe at the correct time can be troubling.
Lol Sadly this is what I have concluded we need to get eCan back from what I have seen this term.
If eCan does not want to be in COT and they do not want to strike a form of deal with eSpain then you really REALLY do not want to vote for me lol
I am just putting out what I will do if voted in 😛
A bold move and yes probably incredibly unpopular but this is how I see eCan coming back.
Poor bugger, you shoulda stuck with party politics.
Why? I think I did a great job.
Where did i do so poorly that I warrant this statement?
Homer did not get eCan back and he had 3 months. Why did you expect me to be able to do it in 1?
If anything I pulled back more curtains than people like to see and made some bold moves that gave us the most powerful and dedicated allies I think we have ever had.
eCan is coming out of my term MUCH better than it was before It went in
You came into office full of piss and vinegar, but were unable to achieve any of your large goals. Homer was a steadying force during his terms, you further divided the nation. Homer wins.
The nation was divided before I came in. Homer had the boys club support where I was the scary newcomer.
To be blunt I didnt have any support the day I won. The MDP turned its back completely. The outsiders like you and Buck who are not eCanadian butted in and started crap trying to recruit people out of the country.
Every step I made was poked and jabbed.
No Homer did not have a better term. he just had an easier term.
Lets see my larger goals now.
Join COT = Nope. I held a vote and the people said no. So I didnt.
Get eCan back = lol no. barely passing the NAP eSpain read all our loving msges to them and refused. We cant win them at war. Dont be an idiot thinking that.
Grow ecan = We lost people. We have been since April but I got us more allies than we have ever had.
So I achieved 1 out of the 3 and to be honest I COULD have achieved them all if I went full dictator.
But I did not. I did not abuse the power I had to do anything I wanted to and instead I held votes and listened to the people.
So no Quimbie I did no fail. I did a great job and I stuck in there.
As you ran off to your new home in the states in the early days I stook in here.
I also find it incredibly funny the only people really complaining are not even eCanadian and have not been for weeks.
You are not eCanadian. You have no respect here. You abandoned us.. No offense but get lost
Homer didn't have a better term? I seem to recall us getting a congress...
You just pushed people out. Well done.
I didnt push people out.. You pulled them out.. there is a difference..
Hahah. Cause I made them sign up. Right.....
If I had that much power, I'd have used it to get you to quit.
lol true 😛 Unlike you guys I would never turn my back on eCan and run off.. Ooooh burn 😛
Except it was just on the government. Not on the country.
hmmm.. http://gyazo.com/b311b56f21768fcb4234c92b838cbd6e.png Nope. You left the country and people as well. I see you in a new MU and party both American...
Looks like you turned your back on everything.. Time to yourn your head as well and move on with your new E-life
Apparently you missed the part where I said "government". I have full intentions of helping Canada again, after you're out of office.
I know I will take some flack for this but I simply do not care.
The sheer negativity directed towards Oinyo from many different players is disgusting. People disrespected Oinyo before he ever became CP, and for no apparent reason. I would ask on IRC and no one could come up with any sort of legitimate cause or reason for their dislike of Oinyo.
Oinyo has done everything he could for eCanada and has gone above what most would have done in his situation, he has looked at every option to free Canada and he has tried it. Oinyo has put in an insane amount of hours and has dedicated far more than necessary for this game and what does he get in return? A bunch of hollow conceited individuals who can't realize their attitude and opinion to keep from compromising has ALREADY destroyed much of this country.
You don't have to agree with Oinyo, but show the man some respect, he's worked his ass off for you and asked for no thanks. If you think you could do better - run for CP and prove me wrong.
I'd probably be as mad as you if I stayed.
I respect your loyalty Auk, but damn it man, being the country's top executive takes more than long hours, patriotism and hard work. It takes smarts, an intellectual wherewithal that Oinyo sorely lacks. He's not a bad fella, but he hasn't got the chops to be CP. Hat tip to him for giving it the old college try, but the results were inevitable.
As for the stop hating on Oinyo and run yourself bit, no, I haven't the time, nor the skill set. Try a different argument.
You have your opinion, I have mine - but yet again no one can validate why they hate Oinyo.
I can. He's an idiot.
Buck you are the idiot. You are spreading misinformation stating this term was a whole mess.
You left the country and ACTIVELY recruited people out of it.. Then you scream that I did not do enough?
no Buck.. You are not just an idiot.. You are pathetic and are desperate for attention..
You make that to be much bigger than it is. You did all the work to drive people out. All I did was provide the form to get out.
I held 2 votes? Well yeah.. If votes and getting us allies is what gets the people running I guess i did.. lol
People!! I held a referendum!! And then I went against what I wanted because you voted it down! I am evil!! Leave the country!! I did what you wanted!! 😛 What a terrible terrible leader i am lol
That's the general opinion.
"It was voted down. Most of our population want to stick in ASGARD."
"We will join COT."
You realize this makes you a rogue CP, and anything "you" decide will not matter?
The Asgard treaty will count Canadians as Asgard until the majority of our populace votes, and decides we don't want to be asgard.
Also, any other alliance would not allow us to become trial members if the majority of our population does not want to be in that alliance.
This is kind of what Quimbie is talking about in his reply above. Oinyo has the heart, and now it seems the balls, but he can't seem to realize Dictator politics simply don't work in this game.
They did for MDP and the Coalition, because MDP had over 50% of the congress, as well as almost all of Canada's heavy hitters.
And if that was the only thing he can't seem to realize about the game, then he wouldn't get harassed.
But nothing we say will matter, because of the AFK Party vote harm he sits on top of.
Red, I think the "We will join COT." is his platform for next month campaign... so if he wins.. well he had the majority to vote for him.
Even if he wins, he won't have the majority. I would be really surprised if half of the eCanadians are dumb enough to vote for him.
He doesn't need half if there's any vote splitting.
This is all next term stuff if the people vote it. Nothing I posted here will be done in my remaining days here this term.
Not to pull a Steve Harper but we have little to no choice.
ASGARD is too small.
We are being crushed with all our allies helping PLUS with mercs by a country just 2 clicking us.
We have had better CP's than me spend 3 months working on getting the country back only to fail.
I myself spent a month and with Shoi and Maximus grown our ally pool to one we have never seen before and STILL we cant get back land.
Vote for me or dont vote for me. I am simply putting out what I see is the only option I see left. If someone has any better ideas then please run and run hard because more and more people are getting sick of no eCan and we are seeing entire MU;s leave the country to the states.
Soon the only people we will have left are those that thump their chest and scream PRIDE!
Oinyo just to be fair... i didn't see much support from our alliance, but did see from new countries...
Maybe you misunderstood.it doesn't matter if you win on that platform or not. You have to have a full populace vote, or a 2/3rds congress vote to change alliances.
I say the following out of respect for my Canadian brother, if you want even to gain a single region back you must elect a leader that the majority of your citizens can get behind. Oinyo's small plurality made him an easy target for attack and made the majority of your heavier hitters leave the country for better opportunities.
As far as the comment about negativity goes, I believe Oinyo criticized Homer for doing more than he has been able to accomplish. You reap what you sow, buddy. Do what is best for Canada and give someone with the ability to lead Canada out of this your support.

He was a great leader, he got me to follow him and work for the good of eCanada and I'm not even eCanadian. There is something to be said for that.
Oh and Oinyo, if you truly believe that eCan should quit Asgard and join CoT, then campaign on it. If you win again, don't go all banana republic dictator on the folks that re-elected you, continue to push your agenda. That is what a leader with principle would do. Ramming unpopular ideas down the electorate's throat and threatening to do whatever you damn well please, is not good politics.
