United Front Coalition - Page 3

This could lead to lasting damage, perhaps.

Solution: Change the name.
United Front Coalition - the last two words have military connotations, no doubt discouraging some people.

Mayb: Progressive League

?

A nice, harmless-sounding name
...but underneath the name is the true definition of "Progressive" - one landmass, one nation

Or:
Continental Union - take it literally
United Free Apolytonia - to conquer the world

I think the name is fine. It has changed enough. Personally I like Popular Front more.

Andreiguy · June 26, 2002, 23:40

i like popular front, its an all-around nice-sounding name

There's been more talk about seizing power for your party than there has what you're going to do with it when(if) you get it.

And Skywalker has damaged your cause.

Andreiguy · June 27, 2002, 11:18

...see what I mean...UFC is not the party of choice right now...

Andreiguy · June 27, 2002, 23:29

right now skywalker only needs 3 more votes to win imperial expansion for us! we need every vote we can get.

GoodFella · June 27, 2002, 23:54

Everyone be sure to vote against a code of ethics as well.

Ninot · June 28, 2002, 00:25

Yeah, i just have a very honest and legitimate question for the party.

Why are you still behind Skywalker?

jdd2007 · June 28, 2002, 01:05

personally, i forgive him for being a jerk at the chatroom. this is the only negative thing i have heard about him, so i dont understand when u say "still" as if he has down many bad things, has awful views and has sucked as a player, citizen or minister...

that is my honest and legitimate answer.

, I would like for the members of the UFC to tell me what they would like my platform to be (regarding my candidacy for Imperial Expansion Minister).

I was more bothered by this than anything i have heard about turnchat's. We need ministers who can think for themselves in the first instance. THen they can look at counter arguments and see if they need to change their stance.

Kuciwalker · June 28, 2002, 07:41

Wait... first you complain that I loudly proclaim my views, then you say I should think for myself... isn't there a contradiction here?

Not at all. I said think for yourself in the first instance, then look at counter arguments to see if your position is correct.

With regards to the turnchat, i wasn't there, but the impression i got from other comments was that you stated your position (attacking a worker), it was disagreed with by (pretty much) everyone there, and you continued to spam very vocally, ignoring the weight of opinion against you. I'll say again at this point, i wasn't there, so if this is wrong i apologise, but it was the impression i got.

with regards to the election, my problem was coming to your party and asking what your platform should be. That said to me you were prepared to say whatever you were told in order to secure the votes of your party. There is a difference between modifying your position in the light of new information, or weight of opinion against it, and asking for your opinion to be given to you.

But then, that's only my opinion, and what do i know

One final point. This is not meant as a personal attack, and i hope it's not taken as such. I merely think your style might not be suited to a ministerial post (but again, what do i know

)

Andreiguy · June 28, 2002, 12:40

i believe that we shouldn't judge a person (skywalker) because of one occurence.

We're all stupid sometimes...

joost1110 · June 29, 2002, 04:40

Guys, I just checked the ethics poll. 25 against 24 voting FOR ethics, meaning we will get a ethics thing.
Please send an e-mail to al the party members, to make sure they vote on this poll, and other important polls

Jon Shafer · June 29, 2002, 08:22

I voted yes, but I won't ask you guys to since you're more "political warriors" than warriors at heart.

The Dark Lord · July 3, 2002, 21:11

None of you have ever heard of me, but I have been following the game for a while now... I was just wondering if this party is still active, way back here on page 3.

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You gave them a bump

And this thread was just about dead too

look what you have done.

Duddha · July 3, 2002, 22:24

Welcome Dark Lord

Timeline · July 3, 2002, 22:27

he never said he wanted to join, Duddha.

jdd2007 · July 3, 2002, 22:48

yes this party is very active. there are two parties in the ufc: hawks and nationalists. which would you like to join?

You're right.

You know how member hungry the UFC is and Dark Lord if you want to join you're welcome.

Timeline · July 3, 2002, 23:26

Oh....I understand completely, remember I run a party too

. I just thought it was funny that's all.

The Dark Lord · July 4, 2002, 11:09

I'm not sure if I want to join yet... I am looking at both of the main parties...I will probably decide by the end of the day...

Papa Chubby · July 4, 2002, 11:20

I do believe that the biggest difference between the UFC and the DIA is that the UFC inhabits a more windy region of Banana HQ.

Will 5001 · July 4, 2002, 15:19

Since today I have been apolitical but after reading through the posts here I would like to join too. but shouldn't we be supporting war on America rather then France as is the general consensus?

We should have the UFC more active in its campaigning for elections and stop the DIA gaining more ground.

Verto · July 4, 2002, 18:28

I will join, although I am a bit confused. Is the UFC a single party, or is it made up 2 or more parties with similar agendas?

Jon Shafer · July 4, 2002, 19:30

Think of the UFC as Austia-Hungary. A pair of very intertwined groups, but still inherently seperate. Austria and Hungary made seperate peace with the Allies after World War I, even though it was popularly viewed as one country.

And welcome to all those who've joined! I invite you to the Imperialist faction of the UFC here.

Darkworld Ark · July 4, 2002, 19:35

I think I'll join you UFC guys.

Spiffor · July 4, 2002, 20:11

Austria-Hungary was dismantled after WWI. I must say I like your comparison

Jon Shafer · July 4, 2002, 20:22

I figured someone would say that eventually. Unfortuneately for you guys, no one is going to be invading Apolyton and dissolving the UFC any time soon though.
