I like the combo! The only problem is that both the red and the brown look a bit too orange. (maybe its my eyes.)

(hey - aren't dogs color blind anyways...)

Beta · December 18, 2002, 08:30

Hey boss - you would have been proud of your party. Four of us were on the turn chat last evening - keeping those right-wing war-mongers in check.

And yes - there is now a world war. I'm sure the burden of this war will be carried on the backs of the working class...

Did I not catch a rumour of them reducing wages ... And cancelling factory projects in favor of the war effort.

The red is maxxed out so I know that couldn't be orange...it's probably the brown color, I need to make it a darker shade of brown....I thought about that when I posted it too.

Glad you like it so far, though. That makes me feel better about my sub-average graphic skills....

From the desk of the Chairman,

I'm very proud indeed... Way to go guys! Wish I could have made it but real life prevented me from doing so.

In light of the World War and the reduced wages, I have turned down my nomination as Deputy of Public Works in favor of a different post. Although as Director of the Workers, it would seem that one of my personal goals for the Labor Party could have been accomplished, but should the cards fall right, I will hopefully be doing an even greater service to our country.

I am pleased with Panzer32 and Kloreep's progress in the Regional Administration. I would love to be updated as to the situation there. Soon we shall move our headquarters to one of the major cities under their governorship. Once they are in office, we shall hold a vote as to which city shall become our capito...eh, headquarters.

As for me, your Chairman may be activated in our armed services. I will keep you all informed.

Check out Aro's maps if you haven't already, he's done a wonderful job. I would like to applaud our Vice-Chairman for his continued contribution!

Chairman Meshelic

Aro · December 18, 2002, 11:16

Thanks, Mr. Chairman. Congrats to Panzer32 and Kloreep, they will do a great service to our Nation and to our cause. BetaHound was in the last chat, permanently vigilant, not to mention our "think tank" of one man, Shiber. As you can see, our Party has a very important role here...

Shiber · December 18, 2002, 11:30

IMHO instead of complaining about the war, we should try to find ways to exploit it to further our goals. I suggest that we take the following steps:

Put pressure on building additional factories, to aid the war efforts and to create new jobs.
Attempt to steer war-related negotiations in a way that would benefit our country's economy (e.g. by selling our natural resources or getting some foreign gpt in other ways), and then put this money into social welfare.
Convince factory owners to give their workers a special bonus every time we conquer a German or Roman city as a motivational boost.

Sorry I couldn't make it to the chat. I was in school while it was taking place.

Hmmm - Shiber raises some interesting questions for the party's brain trust to ponder over.

(all that smoke is the brain trust hard at work - not Aro going up in flames)

Aro · December 18, 2002, 13:27

BetaHound, I'm thinking about make of myself a human torch, in the center of our Capital. This will be a show!

I'm just waiting for Refining, I'll need some oil to do that.

Shiber, you are more present in the game than most of our officers. And you contribute a lot with your ideas and plans. So... don't worry, there's always another chats...

See? Great plan, great ideas...

Very good Shiber!

This will work well with our Labor Party newsletter....

Anyone see the modified worker image I posted behind the red/brown flag?

In a letter addressed to all Senators,

The Shadow Service, now activated, will hereby no longer provide bodyguard protection for the President. Mistreatment of SS agents by the President and his political party, the Democratic Industrialists, are directly linked to this change in policy.

The Shadow Service shall no longer be held responsible for personal protection of political figures.

The DIA-LABOR spamfest is over. Both sides have agreed to an anti-spam treaty.

Meshelic · December 19, 2002, 21:17

We shall be releasing the first Labor Party Newspaper, which I would like to call "National Weekly Worker", or NWW for short, although the name is not finalized and may be prone to change before release....

I would like to ask for all officers/committee members of the Labor Party to submit to me in PM a paragraph or two describing your character history, why you joined the Labor Party, and an agenda you support or would like to see put forward. This shall be added to the NWW
"Members" section.

Also, article submissions are definetely welcome. If you have any more ideas, submit them to me via PM.

Thanks team!

Shiber · December 21, 2002, 04:43

Yo Mesh!
Submitted mine.

Meshelic · December 21, 2002, 04:54

Awesome, I got it. So far only Shiber and Panzer32 have submitted their character bio's for the Labor Party newspaper/newsletter....

That leaves Aro, Kloreep and BetaHound....

Shiber · December 21, 2002, 05:06

Damn! I thought I was first.

Meshelic · December 21, 2002, 05:27

Panzer32 was pretty quick on this one. Within the first couple of hours I think....

However you are 2nd and that ain't too shabby....

Better luck next time?

Shiber · December 22, 2002, 13:48

The recent debates on the subject of religion have been causing me to ponder about several issues. Does the ALP, being the most left-wing party in the Apolytonian political spectrum, oppose religion? What is our stance towards religion anyway?

Meshelic · December 22, 2002, 17:19

We have not decided a stance on religion in any official capacity, I have just assumed a policy of "religious tolerance" would suit us fine.

My personal stance (in a roleplay atmosphere) is that a religious right could stir up alot of trouble for the nation.
Though never in my life have I opposed religion, only violent ones.

Meshelic · December 28, 2002, 03:10

I will be absent from any computer for a week, courtesy of vacationing to the beach. I will return on or around January 5th. So I appoint Aro as temporary Chairman in light of my absence, until I have returned.

Workers unite!

Shiber · December 28, 2002, 06:55

Have a great time Meshelic!

Happy trails, boss! Have a pina colada for me, will you!
