We already had the Southeast attempt to seceed once in Atlasia and it was crushed with full impunity, I intend to help with that again if the time comes.

     You have my full support. LET'S TAKE . . . THESE . . . REBS . . . DOWN! Who's with me?

I move that we change the party name to the Regional Preservation Party (gotta use the old acronyms Smiley)

     I would rather change it to Allied Atlasian Rightist Party -- AARP for short.

Tread lightly - the old folks would get quite angry at you stealing their acronym.

     Indeed. I was going for something self-satirizing with the acronym, since the stereotype of conservative Republicans is a bunch of angry, old people.

     I recently noticed that the amendment at dispute has moved to the Senate floor. I'll be closely following the proceedings.

After further consideration, we will be dropping secession from both the name and party platform.  We will simply be pushing for regional rights

So all of you are going to re-register as the Southern Party?
The new name and any new membership is still being discussed

     So far, we have gotten three suggestions:

Regional Protection Party (RPP)
Allied Atlasian Rightist Party (AARP)
Atlasian Tea Party (ATP)

     As party whip, I'm in charge of recruiting members. This is also a nationwide act from now on. Smiley

I personally like Regional Protection Party because I regret never joining the Ron Paul Party.  I could also go for something a bit more out there, perhaps Regions Ending Get Insane Crazy Idiots Dumbasses Excited (REGICIDE) Smiley

     I notified several fellow right-wingers about the change in platform. Perhaps when they join, we can hold a referendum on a new name.

That made no sense.

     It's not supposed to make sense. Smiley Though I have a strong feeling that I am the only one who takes this party seriously. If you'll notice, neither Governor Duke nor any of the other people I invited has re-registered yet. Sad

     Maybe getting a new name is more important than I had previously thought.

I just joined. I was being a lazy bum is my only excuse for not reregistering sooner.

     Yes! Now we only need one more person & then we'll be recognized as a major party! Of the nine people I contacted, four have shown interest in joining so far.

     Also, we could find non-game related issues to emphasize as well, like the death penalty or abortion. It will be hard to find issues though, because of the amount of variance in the beliefs of the party members.

Variance? At this point, the party is uniformly right-libertarian.

     True, though I have invited several right-populists & staunch conservatives. As such, there will probably be variance in the future.

I support a few points of this. And I can side, to some extent, with the federalists (Damn. Feels weird using that term in this context). But I probably won't join.

     Allies are always appreciated. Not to mention it would be trouble to create a map with Puerto Rico. Anyway, here's the map of membership so far:



     Southeast heavy I must say. Tongue

     Okay, here's the sprite version:



     As I'm sure you could tell, I picked yellow (Sprite forever! Angry).

Both ways, I don't mind. The DC is dead and will probably never be resurrected. I won't come back to my old parties, methinks.

Why make so many, then?

Fun.

Like your avatars?

I rarely change them anymore, you might've noticed.

     I'm thinking of donning an R-UK avatar. I've never seen one around here & I'm half-British anyway.

I'll put on a G-FR or I-FR avatar when I go to France next week.

     There, I changed my avatar.

No! The shape of California is way better.

     I've always wanted an R-UK avatar though. I'll change it back in a few hours. Wink

     I wonder though if this means that ben is thinking about joining the RPP. We always welcome brave citizens looking to add a few drops of lemon to the can of Sprite that is Atlasia. Wink

     I am pleased to announce that the RPP's wiki is now online. It's not that big yet, but it's only the first draft. Smiley

     The infobox for the party isn't showing up correctly. I've checked the revisions (I could have sworn that it worked with the first version), but I don't see what the problem is with it.

A lot of things. Not experienced with Wikipedia, I assume?

I'll fix it.

     Thank you. & you're right, thisis the first wiki article I've ever worked on. It's strange though, because in the first edition, the infobox worked perfectly.

     UPDATE: The wiki inffobox is once again working properly.

     Updated map (including meeker & dead0man):



     EDIT: Daniel Adams joined the RPP. That makes 5 members in the Southeast, 2 in the Midwest, & 1 in the Mideast.
