    I think there's more going on then any of us who aren't in the upper stages of government realize. There's no reason for an unaligned alliance to not find themselves staring down a nuclear arsenal from any reasonably sized alliance, because who is going to come to their defense? There have to be some kind of deals just to maintain their existence.

    As for the control over their members, I imagine the threat of EZI does pretty well. Once you fall under their spell, keep your mouth shut if you want to stay on this planet.




    How do we know that they are what they say they are? Ever see the Wizard of Oz? Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. In this case, it's the brains behind their alliance, who's really pulling the strings. They can have all the public turnover they want because it's a charade. There's something far more sinister going on behind the scenes, and that's what we need to be aware of.

    If you believe what they say, then you have fallen into their trap, and then they win. We can't allow that.

    I'm sure they'll get a kick out of your irrefutable Wizard of Oz logic, but you really are hopelessly lost in your own attempts to be GOONish (your alliance mates do it better than you, your avatar caption notwithstanding). If you scroll back up to the OP, you'll see that until about a week ago, I was part of the "upper stages" of their government. If you paid any attention whatsoever (or had been here for more than a minute), you would know that the GPA doesn't threaten EZI on their membership or anyone else. Expulsion, maybe, but you are being ridiculous Mr. Scarecrow.

    I will also point out that the high turnover commented upon by many is deceptive in that almost all of the newly elected government have served in the government before, first among them Probablementeno, who has now served more terms as President than anyone in GPA history, I believe.

    I briefly considered responding to specific posts here, but then I read them. You people do realize that the GPA has been operating under the same philosophy for over four years, don't you? It's not some nefarious plot to passively conquer the world. They really don't have much need to participate in the open community because, quite frankly, it rarely merits participation and they have their own, closed community.

    The real point here is that a lot of great people have just been elected into government positions, and I offer them all my congratulations. To the newly elected: those of us who have departed from the GPA, and those who remain but have retired from government, trust that you will tend the garden well and keep the fences mended.

    PS - The GPA do not "just collect taxes every day", that would be terribly inefficient as an economic strategy and economics is one thing that they do quite well by any alliance's standards.

    As far as people who are still around providing me guidance, probablementeno, Thomasj_tx and gamer42_au are probably three of those that I trust the most, although there are certainly others.

    But since I am on my second nation, and there was a multiple year gap between them, I'll throw out a few others I learned a lot from: Fraternite, Angevin & Salpta (who have to be taken as a pair, it was their debates I learned from), Machi, and I learned some very important early lessons from Shay.

    ^ I have obviously spent all my time in the GPA :P

    Yep, yep. I'm very happy to finally see you in a Cabinet position, Mr. Chele.

    Thanks Enyo! I appreciate the love I'm getting in this thread, but mostly I appreciate the opportunity to continue in service to the GPA.

    Edit: Looks like I need to update my sig...

    Thanks for the congratulations Rextu and Iosif.

    If anyone should need anything regarding the GPA, please come find me on IRC. I tend to prefer IRC to forum diplomacy, fewer passwords to remember and all. :ph34r:

    -Chele

    Also: Hey Biff, thanks.
