[MR4CP] Civil Discourse

PTX - Sing
It doesn't matter if your days are long (Sing!)
It doesn't matter if your night's gone wrong (Sing!)
Just clap your hands and stomp your feet and sing it (Whoa, sing!)
It doesn't matter if he let you go (Sing!)
It doesn't matter if she hurt you so (Sing!)
Get up and dance, just feel that beat and sing it (Whoa, sing!)
Just about a month ago I wrote an article about the changes to our community and the divide I saw between older players and newer players. There is a population of people that play a very different game than us older players did. My next article asked you to tell me your story. I did that for the purpose of wanting to get to know you.
What I noticed, after those were published, was that the divide was even bigger than I had initially realized. I saw a community on the eUS forums that seemed to have no interest in what you had to say. I also saw a community in game that had decided it wasn’t worth it to attempt any kind of conversation with those on the eUS forums. That needs to change before we can ever hope to have any type of Civil discourse.
I believe it isn’t too late to start the process towards healing.
This is why I created the liaison position. My hope is that the liaison position leads to a more permanent network of in game advisers to the CP. This isn’t a complete solution, but it is the beginning. Unless we all start actually talking to each other, the divide will only get worse and we will destroy the game we all enjoy playing.
After the events that transpired with the SFP, it has finally become crystal clear to most that this is a problem that needs to be addressed. Publishing articles isn’t going to fix this. We need to sit and listen to each other for once in order for everyone’s voice to be heard. Hopefully a compromise can be reached that works for everyone.
We must at least start the conversation.
DMJohnston’s recent change of viewpoint is refreshing and it gives me hope that these conversations will be fruitful. It's good to know that win or lose the discussions will happen. That stated, I truly believe that I am the best person to help start those conversations because I have always believed that everyone’s voice matters.
I hope you agree and will vote for me on the 5th so we can begin the healing process

just so happens I have one, myself
rule 34 (check it up if you dont know what it is) right click in google any picture and search for image. wow kaylee frye aka Jewel Belair Staite. oh well wholesome looking woman.
Good idea, but probably an impossible end-goal.
I think it's worth trying don't you?
I think it'll fail, personally. There are too many sides. Some are set in their ways too heavily, some house folks that embody the toxicity of the internet and will keep any good will away, and some have already tried this countless times and found no one else willing to attempt.
An honest dialog is almost always worthwhile.
It's amusing that after all this time, after all that has been done to this community to shatter it....
Now they want civil discourse.
Civil Discord?
Unfortunately very true eVenezuela your article too, happens something like a crisis ; I have no commitment on my newspaper published several articles touching the crisis and proposing a possible solution excellent article . Keep writing and fighting
Sup
The art of the matter is to know those who deliberately seek to create chaos and division. Those who enjoy the divisive, corrosive agent provocateur aspect of the game. Then isolate them.
Oh.....wait.....that's not right.........
First question...this is the budget for April:
I. Executive
Line U1. MPP Costs: $60,000
II. Defense
Line U2. Armed Forces: $150,000
Line U3. Arm America: $20,000
III. Interior
Line U4. Dept. of Citizen Affairs $25,000
IV. Treasury
Line U5. Reserve Remaining
TOTAL: $255,000
The USAF is no longer the National MU, yet it is still receiving 150,000 CC in funding. When will that end and will the new American Civilian Militia be receiving funding?
lol
