[WTP] Never a Dull Moment...

I really want to believe that Dom can get better, but he’s not giving me much to work with…

If I commit another political scandal, maybe that’ll get me off the blacklist!
Do I want to talk about what happened yesterday? No, not really, but I guess I have to. So here goes.
Early yesterday, Dom MMed out the official party poll for the congressional primaries. He did fall victim to the admin’s spam filter, as I did with my poll as well. As I have the good fortune of being first on the list of party members due to appointed position and game mechanics, I was the very first to get the mail, before the spam filter had a chance to kick in. I tried to get a hold of him both on discord and in-game to catch him before he MM’d the entire party and wasted a bunch of his time, but wasn’t able to get through until he finished.
As expected, the rules were “vote for up to 5 people for congress, if you’re running you can’t vote for yourself, and the running order will be determined by vote # for each person.” So I clicked the link. I took a look at who was there…
...and saw that my petition had not been successful in its goal of barring the IES violator from running for congress. What I forgot to look for, however, was who wasn’t there…
Compare the names and see what you find. I’ll give you a hint.
This went most of the day without notice, as things sometimes do. But the ticking time bomb was active. I was actually away from my computer when I got a discord notification, someone asking me what I thought of the whole Taco situation. I gathered from that, something had hit the fan, and got back to read through the article. I was confused for a few minutes, as I saw the article but not yet the party feed, but I clicked around and saw this little gem soon enough.
If you’re confused as to the reason, everyone's first assumption was the blacklist vote in congress, which Taco and Ryan both voted yes to. This theory was later confirmed via PM with Dom.
Now, I shouldn’t have to give you reasons not to exclude non-blacklisted eUS citizens from congress or from even voting in the primary. (In fact, I even allowed Andreas.Antoniou to vote in my poll when he asked me for a security word. He surprised me by voting AGAINST 2 of the 3 people on the list. Given I never see him on the forum, or in the media, or in the feed, I have to wonder what his and conseiller’s reasoning is for… anything). Since this need has arisen though, here goes.
Dom’s disagreement with Taco and Ryan is a personal issue. Their voting yes to the blacklist was not a betrayal of the party - Dom is not literally the party, simply an elected representative. Dominar is an individual, not a fundamental element of WTP. No one person is a fundamental element of any party, unless they are the only member. Furthermore, they didn’t exactly make an unpopular choice. The only 2 votes there that weren’t yes, was a no vote from HULK and an abstention from that one BSP guy who votes no to everything. Even the BSP guy voted abstain rather than flat out no. The final vote count was 21:1:1. Hardly worthy of questioning the judgement of the yes voters (and this is coming from someone who would have voted no, had I been in congress).
As this is a personal matter, not a party matter, Dom using his PP ability to deny Taco and Ryan a fair chance at running based on a personal issue, rather than a fear for national security is corruption. And his refusal to take an IES violator off the congress list against the wishes of 91% of party members who voted in my poll, while taking 2 productive members of the eUS off, is worrying.
So do I still disagree with blacklisting Dom? Well, my hypothetical vote just changed from “no” to “abstain.”
I truly madly deeply hope that he steps down as PP, allows someone who doesn’t bring personal matters into elected office to make the congress list, and tries in ernest to be a productive member of the party. But I have no power to compel him to do that.
Enough ranting and raving. Let’s get some music for the comments.

I talked to Andres and he said Dom directed him to approve those 2 applications. All problems are leading back to Dom. He cannot be trusted in a position of power. I give him every opportunity to do the right thing and he screws it up. He is now banned from CIA for denying the right to vote to 2 WTP menbers
Wow, serious politics is serious.
Just thought I'd mention that Canadian politics is a skosh different. My party, Party of Opprobium (that's right, the POO party), has had the same PP for at least two years. He doesn't seem to mind the bother. lol Anyhow, our mass message is the party feed. Usually consists of "Run for Congress please." or "Don't forget to vote!". Kiisupai picks Congress order according to who's had fewest chance to be involved. We're #2 party so usually 7-8 seats available. I hesitate to say that people are not terribly interested, even with 5 gold reward. Half the time I'm in Congress because I run as filler.
Carry on!
Enjoy the RP. 😁
lol yeah WTP just had a big boo boo. Dom's blacklist vote was because he tried to go above IES and interview citizen applicants himself, then instruct congressmen who to approve. It's been a wild week
Power grab!
Lately Canada has been giving well known citizens the opportunity to gain the Dictator medals. Immigration has been pretty simple, as long as someone vouches for the applicant dictator approves. I guess more devious people are interested in the USA.
You have a problem with mathematics. Only 11 members took part in your poll. That makes it less then 7% of the membership of WTP. That means that 93% don't support your silly poll, nor your ideas and are fine with the current direction the party is heading.
Not to mention that you are just a frustrated member, who wants to create division in the party and get support for his petty little agenda.
Are you aware how pathetic this looks?
oh how I've missed you :')
Tell me another lie.
My problem with all of this is that Dom is simply Chickens**t's lapdog and I am positive he is taking orders from him. So I believe that Chicken, along with Dom should be shunned by the WTP...
Thanks, Wilker, this is the article I was waiting to see. It's clear that Dom has no intention of representing anyone but himself. This is a dictator level move and it's disgusting to see active players shunned for doing the right thing. WTP, don't let this fool run the show. Rise up.
Fascinating how always the same people try to interfere in private party matters.
Like brand new accounts with surprising knowledge of history? How was your temp ban, baby?
I'm a returning player. And it was short and sweet.
pants = penis prison!
Dom belongs there if he acts like this.
Time to rise, WTP.

I'm confused by your desire not to stand up and be counted in disagreement with the elected Party President deciding to willfully disregard the immigration laws of this country. I applaud Ryan Christ and KingTaco for taking a stand. If you would vote Abstain, then you might as well be voting no. Either you agree or you disagree, there is no "maybe."
I disagree with the act, but a permanent blacklist just creates another Ajay. If he plans to stick around, he'll find something to do. Either we find a place for him with little risk of stuff like this, or he'll get resentful and start creating multis and trying to troll our elections for 10 years.
I like to hope there's still some way to fit him in somewhere productive. Just depends how willing he is to work within the system. My likelihood to vote yes corresponds to how likely I think it is for him to cool it.
You're assuming that he isn't just a multi of someone else, or that he hasn't already created multis to surround himself with in his echo chamber. Let's be honest.
The one doing the assuming is you.
On geez, did they let you out of your cage already?
Aren't you busy creating a shadow WTP Cabinet?
Shadow WTP cabinet?
Like the time you wanted to create a shadow cabinet when Chickensguys became Country President, remember?
That would be pretty impressive for me to do that in a party of which I am not a part. You've inspired me.
You're welcome. If you need some good tips how to make your dream of becoming a CP come true, feel free to ask! I'm just a PM away.
Waah. Johnny Cash video still not available.
The funny (to me) part about all the brouhaha is that the person playing DR in eRep is playing that character pretty much like Dominar Rygel XVI would act in Farscape. I am waiting for the explosive urination... tho... maybe this is it?

Excellent journalism.
I reached out to Dominar when everything surrounding him first broke. I asked him to share his side of the story. He ignored my request for information. Pretty much everyone else I've asked has been extremely helpful.
Dominar is Dominar. I have seen him acting in my party and it was something I don't want to see against my enemies. He can act nice, but he is the character he claims to be. A dictator. So he is honest about that. 🤔 Not my kind of opponent, but it is his own choice. Ot is a game, you can take the role you like.
This article is super informative. Thanks
You and Ryan Christ are no longer members in good standing.
