[Forum Game] Anetaguay - a political rp

[Deathknight15]

(Hopefully not feminist strawman incoming

This game is gonna be really weird and fun trying to pass any laws)

Edit: (In fact, I'm wondering if the poor people of Anetaguay will be able to get any effective legislation helping them :unsure: )

OOC: Now that we have a feminist party, perhaps a male/female demographic may be in order?

I don't think that's necessary, it would be around 50% anyway, so not really conveying much useful information.

OOC: Also a good reason to implement an election treshold. Cough, cough.

That's up to you. I'm not sure how much it would affect things though, you'd need to have it higher than 6% to have much of an effect.

 

[Battle bunny]

OOC: This is not at all representative of my personal views

OOC: Why did you feel the need to add this when, to my knowledge, nobody else - including the in-game fascists - did so?

IC: We are pleased to see that the support for the radical left altogether has increased. In particular, we are extremely pleased to see this come at the cost of support for UPA, although we have little more sympathy for the other capitalists. All in all, however, it would be a waste to see our advantage disappear because of sectarian bickering that has plagued the left so much during its history. Therefore, the PCDA invites the rest of the revolutionary leftist parties currently in existence: the FSR, the UTCA and the Iniciativa Feminista into a pan-leftist coalition. I see nothing irreconcilable about our policy differences and I believe that this alliance will lead us to victory.

(OOC: I'll send PMs in a bit.)

(I don't see a problem with making a party that is against your views, but I would have a problem if its just going to be some stupid strawman. I considered making a facist party and facism is like the antithesis of my views)

 

[Clophiroth]

(I made a fascist party, being a socialist myself. I like to try new experiences, and being in other person´s shoes and point of view is certainly interesting XD)

 

[Emperor Walter]

Election results will be posted in one hour; you have until that time to make any final statements about your parties that you wish. Party Registration will be temporarily closed until after the election so I don't have to completely redo the results to take into account new parties.

 

[Noco19]

Despite being associated economically with several other parties that do not label themselves leftist, the FI expresses it's support for the calls for land reform, originating from the left. Let us work together to bring the people their rightful power.

[Apologies for the lack of quality in any IC, as I am on vacation and must rely on my phone.]

It is good to see support for the PLD rising so significantly; hopefully this trend will continue until election day. I have full faith the people of Anetaguay will vote for democracy and prosperity.

From the Office of the Secular Freedom Party (PLS) ​

As you go to the polls, and vote for our country's leader and your representatives, I hope you will keep in mind that our future depends on your votes. It is up to you to ultimately decide whether our great country will maintain our democracy, or fall to radical and revolutionary forces. Think long and hard about the type of world you want you and your children to live in.

I hope and pray that the people of Anetaguay shall vote for a government that can not only take care of them, but keep them free and living in a democracy.

Regardless, myself and my party will work tireless in the first democratically elected government of Anetaguay to represent the interests of the people and to serve them with all our hearts.

Thank you all.

~Leonardo Aguero, President of the Secular Freedom Party (PLS)

Compañeros!

The will of the people has been made clear by the strong success of the FSR and the other socialist parties. We are already the fourth largest party and we are certain that our popularity can only grow as class consciousness continues to increase. Through hard work and solid effort we can see a socialist government in Anetaguay in the coming elections. However, our enemies are many. We can already see the capitalist machinery in action, as the PLD is financed and held together by shady donators. It does not require a rocket scientist to understand that the U.S. and other imperialist powers are backing this party financially. The PLD leadership would gladly sell you to slavery if it fattens their own purse and increases their own personal power!
As one brave person described it: "Cut out the middleman! George Bush for Prime Minister!"
Our independence, both economical and political, must be guarded. The PLD and other capitalist parties wish to destroy our independence and create a U.S. puppet in Anetaguay. Do not allow this to happen!

We are glad to cooperate with our brothers on the left, presenting a united frontier to face the capitalist opposition. The FSR will never shy away from the truth and we are confident that this election will bring on good tidings for the socialist cause. Remember, your vote will decide the future of this nation, the future of the people. The capitalist alternatives will only bring slavery while the FSR will give you the equality, freedom and solidarity that this country truly deserves!

 

[Revan529]

I still fail to see how the PLD is in even the most broadest sense of the word, a "puppet of the United States." We strongly advocate domestic industry and warm relations with all nations, whilst Mr Silva and his ilk seem content to make more enemies than friends. Anetaguay desires peace and growth, and should they elect the radical socialists or fascists, they will get neither. Only the Democratic Coalition can protect democracy, promote economic growth, and establish healthy relations with the international community; the far right will quash any democratic sentiment and will militarise our peaceable society, whilst the radical left will squander our nation's great wealth with onerous regulations and isolationsim.

The FRS and their communist brethren will turn this nation into another puppet of the collapsing Soviet Union, and will bring this nation down with it! A free, liberal, democratic Anetaguay is only possible with the Democratic Coalition!

Vote PLD for Democracy, Peace, and Progress!

(Since the election is about to be over and the normal turns will start soon, can we have a description of the types of things "2 events a turn" can be? I know you said stage a protest, but what are the limits, anything plausible we can think of?)

 

[Teutonic_Thrash]

The freedom the PLD wants is the freedom for the entrenched classes to exploit the poor and defenceless! The freedom the PLD wants is to be able to be subservient to US economic interests! This is not the freedom the Anetaguayan people want! We want the freedom to enjoy the fruits of our labour! We want the freedom to be a respected independent sovereign state!
Vote for the UTCA! Vote for freedom!

Just about anything plausible. Trying to organize a union, trying to set up a paramilitary, trying to have someone assassinated, running an ad campaign. If its completely ridiculous, like "Steal a Nuclear Weapon" or some other order of magnitude above plausibility, I'll probably ask you to do something else, but in general anything goes.

OOC: Dang, there go my plans to hold the US to ransom :laugh:

(I'm almost wishing I was playing a radical party now because forming a paramilitary group sounds awesome )

 

[Revan529]

Mr Garibaldez, you seem to be putting words in my mouth; I ask you where you see "make Anetaguay an American puppet" in our platform? The PLD stands firmly on making this nation a strong economic player, which will best happen through lower taxes, deregulation, and support for small businessmen. Furthermore, the PLD supports workers enjoying the fruits of their labour; nowhere in our platform does it say we oppose worker owned industries, and our support for lower taxes and tariffs will ensure that the people of this great nation have more money in their pocket, which will do wonders for their economic wellbeing, and the strength of this nation.

The PLD will not tolerate these baseless slander and lies from the radical left! They seek to demagogue and deceive their way into office through the most dastardly and desperate tool of fearmongering. Under a Reyes Premiership, Anetaguay will assume its rightful place in the international community, and will begin the process of freeing its economy, which has for so long been crushed under regulation and state control!

This nation needs freedom!

Election Results 1990

Worker-Peasant Union of Anetaguay (UTCA) 4 Seats

Radical Socialist Front (FSR) 10 Seats

Anetaguayan Democratic Communist Party (PCDA) 20 seats

Social Democratic Party (PSD) 9 Seats

Secular Freedom Party (PLS) 6 Seats

Liberal Democratic Party (PLD) 16 Seats

Acción Civil Peruana (ACP) 5 Seats

Anetaguay´s Patriotic Union (UPA) 21 Seats

Integralism Front (FI) 8 Seats

Partido Teddy (PT) 1 Seat

Since the UPA won the largest amount of seats, they get the first shot at forming a government. If they fail, it goes to the PCDA, then the PLD; if a government cannot be formed in 24 hours (3 months in game time) a fresh election takes place.

(Do you see? Radical are cools.

Now, if you excuse me, I have a paramilitary group to organize, and riots and street fights to provoke...)

 

[Clophiroth]

We offer all the fighters for the freedom and independence of our glorious nation, it is, the FI, the PT and the ACP, to join forces together in a coalition government.

All of us share similar ideas, and we can promise the ACP that no peruvian will suffer any harm under our government. We also offer this coalition to the PLD, as the only way to keep private property from being distroyed by the communist coalition
