Taking the first step

to a better eCanada starts at home. I would like to publicly congratulate several DALers for their contributions to this country. First of all, Crisfire's food for e-life contest is an incredible show of support to the community, from one of its most dedicated players. I would also like to recognize Armour144, for his many recent articles, some of which have been charitable, some educational, and all worth reading. I would like to thank Supabeasty for his constant efforts to help me and the older DAL members communicate better.
Moving on though, there is much to discuss. While we may be enjoying ourselves fighting the brits and spending gold on them, it is important to realize that our nation is in danger. Once we wipe the UK, which I am confident we will be able to do, their MPPs against us will disappear. France, on the other hand, has MPPs against us and has made the move to join Phoenix.
If and when they attack, we should be ready. No doubt it will be a lot of fun and eventually we will push them back, but with all but 2 of our MPPs expiring in less than 10 days, the gravity of the situation should be made clear to all of us. We are spending much gold on the UK. We will need to spend more on MPPs very soon. London costs over 1000 gold to attack.
I do not write this so that we despair, but rather, so that we are aware of the quality of leadership necessary for our nation to continue this era of prosperity and pwning UK/enemies. Congress elections are coming up, and we are going to need to bring in a team that will help keep eCanada at this point; able to pay for war, a strong, united community supportive of the government.
The DAL has already begun planning who it will run for congress. I assure you, only qualified candidates who I truly believe are capable of leading our nation will be run as official candidates. If you wish to be one of these candidates, please just send me a pm. If you are signed onto the DAL forums, you can post your candidacy there.
If you just wish to help out with election planning and organizing, please send me a pm as well. Planning is far more work than running as a candidate, and far more helpful to the party. (you can, of course, do both.)
Please expect my future articles to be better organized and of a higher quality, I've been very busy attending my new duties as DAL PP, and just wished to stress the importance of our actions today, and how they could effect our lives in the upcoming weeks.

You know what would fit just right with a new direction for DAL? A new logo
^ Regarding that, if you want to do it (which I think is a great time for it), do what EPIC did.... sponsor a competitive process
salty nooo
Re-decorating during a time of war? Surely there are other priorities.
I strongly agree with the second-last sentence in the first paragraph. 😃
Let's face it - 99% of the DALlings will have little to no input on the war, and have barely any awareness other than what their orders are.
Why not let them have a say in redecorating the office? At least they'll feel important
boooooring
"Let's face it - 99% of the DALlings will have little to no input on the war, and have barely any awareness other than what their orders are. Why not let them have a say in redecorating the office? At least they'll feel important"
And you somehow know that???
Ya, cuz I know Acacia et al control the war effort - what about the other 721 members of DAL?
Don't fight change supabeasty, participate and guide it instead!
Huh, according to Saltydog I do nothing but follow orders.
This is news to me.
@Armour - do you fall under the "Acacia et al" category (i.e. the people directing the war effort), or do you fall under the "99%" category, i.e everyone else?
Thanks for the contest plug and to all those that havent entered, it ends tonight at day change.
I think the point of this article is to make sure we're aware of the importance of the coming congressional elections. We're in a time of war (yay!) so having proactive, logical congress members is essential - players for whom our success as a whole is more important than personal glory and attention ... players who understand the game's mechanics and can make sound choices and suggestions based on what the game allows rather than moving our focus to pie in the sky ideas that are certain to sit in discussion for months, taking our attention away from the important matters at hand. I agree with what jb is saying here and hope we'll all think carefully about who we support and elect to congress. Also, thanks and congrats to the DAL members who are working hard to help our players succeed - your efforts are appreciated by all eCanadians, not just your party.
