As the smoke clears on a brand new day, we once again can see that all the doom and gloom predictions of those who follow the calling of the flaming bird, hence forth who should be referred to as Chicken Littles, were false. Yes, the Chicken Little propaganda pundits were wrong yet again. All they do is spread distrust and misinformation in an attempt to scare people into their arms. It is time for the fear mongering to end.

With all the attention being drawn to a couple of proposals by the Chicken Littles, we failed to promote a change in party leadership that was occurring. I would like to apologize for that and am proud to present the new president of the Free Belgium Party: Palodigon. While I have enjoyed being party president, I also know it is time for others to take the reins. I wish Palodigon all the best and hope he leads the party well into the future.
As the Free Belgium Party takes another step into the future with Belgium, I look forward to working with the Belgian people. I hope we can expand upon the work that we have begun. Just as we have worked with the MovingTicket industry to bring prices down to help our citizens be able to move just as we have laid the groundwork for the elimination of PTO threats to Belgium with the BLT process, just as we have contributed in helping shape the form of Belgium government on the forum, we look forward to continuing our work.
I want to see us work more closely with the “silent” Belgians. There are many who need to be approached to be brought in closer to Belgian society and have their voices heard. Then there are those voices are heard, but they are denied the say they should be given in favor of those who would follow the Chicken Littles.
As for the Chicken Littles, while I would hope you could set aside your distrust and alliance/party dogma, I have come to realize that the ones of you who usually do speak, are little more then puppets.

All we hear is the same tired lines. To those people who are part of the party of puppets, I want you to consider why you joined that party. Was it fear? Was it that someone gave you some food or other token? Is the fear and distrust that your party speakers generate what you want to see continue in Belgium? If it is not, I would urge you to either consider joining another party, there are four others currently.
If you are more daring, I would suggest you seek to voice your own views on your party’s leadership and direction. Become more active. Turn the Chicken Littles from this

I'm Rod Damon....you know the rest by now
Hes teh awesome.
I like the puppets.
so you're saying not to publish articles which suggest bad things might happen? The theory has not been proven false, as croatia/Poland failed in slovenia so do not need to/cannot go via Belgium. Fair enough critising those who said you'd vote yes, but don't put all concerns in the same boat.
In theory Daniecox, you can prove almost anything. All I am saying is that the amount of divisiveness and fear mongering that you and the Chicken Littles create has been proven false YET AGAIN and is counter productive to the good that is trying to be done in Belgium.
As for the battle in Slovenia, it had no bearing on the vote, the vote was decided before the battle.
How is it counter-productive asking why you haven't voted no to the MPP? I thought you were saying it was scare-mongering to say Poland would try to go through Belgium, but as Slovenia is secured they have no reason to try.
I didn't say the theory was proven, but just not disproven.
There is a little thing called time zones. As you were so good at pointing out around the election, people in the Americas vote later in the day then people in Asia or Europe.
Nothing sinister, just a fact of life.
Or perhaps we should should all shout about why did the Phoenix congressmen all vote so fast and not allow time for discussion.
Its timezones. Deal with it.
You were commenting in articles which said you were going to vote yes before you voted. If you can comment, i guess you can probably vote.
What makes you think I had not voted? And is it just me that you are worried about? Are you becoming a stalker?
The EDEN/Satan plot is almost complete!
Belgium is doomed, doomed I tells you!
The only thing that stands in the way is that meddling daniecox...grrr!!
note to EDEN goon squads-- send the "re-education" van around for daniecox at once. This is a Code RED!
(ps-- in the interests of full disclosure Count Dracula is on his way from Romania to help us. BWAHAH!)
Eyes on target "daniecox". Should we work him over in the van or bring him back to the "warehouse" and use enhanced interrogation sir?
voted for hot picture 🙂
"All we hear is the same tired lines. To those people who are part of the party of puppets, I want you to consider why you joined that party. "
Please, stop suggesting things and put names here.
I assume the party of puppet is the one you fight against in every congress election but I would prefer to hear it...I just want to be sure it's the same party our predsident Elynea comes from. If I remember well, you asked to vote for her too in the last election. (damn, so you helped a puppet party to win the presidential elections ?!?)
lol, was it bad, that we feared? no mpps, so no problem.
How exactly is everything Phoenix says instantly propaganda, and everything EDEN says always the only true answer?
And why are there so many offensive posts from US - Oh sorry I mean new eBelgian - trolls, twisting words from other players, insulting others for having a different opinion?
@Talions
I did support and voted for Elynea. I do believe that she is an independent voice for Belgium, just as I believe that Manong is as well. Unfortunately I do not believe the same for other members of their party.
@BelgianGuy
No one says it is instantly propaganda. I was pointing out that every time they raise an alarm, their warnings are proven groundless.
i had no itent to ever comment or argue over newspappers but, i can't anymore.
daniecox, last 15 years real world had a problem: global warming.
everybody screamed save planet... bla, bla, bla.
this year we have new problem global freezing and everybody is saying that we are one step in ice age.
...and no body listen to the scientist who was saying all that time "that are oscilations, it's normal you stupid f..ks."
the point is: bad things that might happen (0.0001% chance = won't happen) are not to be shouted even if they are perfect for exploiting.
global freezing ?!? errr not really
"No one says it is instantly propaganda. I was pointing out that every time they raise an alarm, their warnings are proven groundless. "
Usually a warning is sucessfull when the danger is prevented.
So Phoenix warning are quite sucessfull.
Do you deny that the spanish MPP was a real threat far belgium ?
A warning about something that may not come to pass is meaningless.
Unless you keep reading this response, the sun is going to explode.
Phew, good thing you kept reading. Now I have saved you from the sun exploding.
Since I have not heard one thing or another from either Hungary or Spain on why they chose to offer MPP's, anything I would say would be speculation as to their motives.
Do I believe that Belgium was facing the threat of elimination that the Chicken Littles were saying, No I do not.
talions, err turn off computer, turn on tv. black box looks like monitor. did you find it?
"Usually a warning is sucessfull when the danger is prevented.
So Phoenix warning are quite sucessfull."
what was the danger? and why would eCroatia eliminate eBelgium?
what posible gain would they have? resistance wars?
on the other hand eBelgium would have spanish MPP... daaaangeeeeerrrr... watch out, spanish guy could shot enemy instead you...
if you make something up, try that it make some sense...
"A warning about something that may come to pass is meaningless"
but you keep warning us about a Phoenix PTO!
@ddexter: Croatia, in asia, could take on Hungary and Serbia. The path there would be easiest through Belgium, which would first be conquered by Poland, who would get an otherwise expensive war for 100 gold.
that's one region and given back immediately, why would they keep it? why would they eliminate entire belgium?? that's overblowing.
croatia has no interest in any occupation of belgium even if croatia ask for pass through belgium.
So daniecox what really worries you is fact that Croatia can threaten Hungary and Serbia in Asia?
By saying so you actually admit that Belgium you stand for is Belgium who helps Phoenix. That is against neutrality of Belgium. As Ragoth nicely pointed out, Belgium had no neutrality option in that matter. But Phoenix congressmen voted YES for Hungarian MPP before even discussing the matter with others. At the same time EDEN congressmen voted NO for Spanish MPP because it was not discussed either. Do you see the difference and who is really considering Belgium interest in all this? It sure isn't congressmen voting in favor of MPP with Hungary knowing it will mean the end of Belgium neutrality and possibly the Belgium entirely!
