[TMS] So you want to run for CP?
Homer J Simpson
Before you put your name forward think about whether you are mentally and emotionally up to the task. "But it's just a game!" I hear you say. You're right, it is, but the role of Country President still carries a certain burden of responsibility and pressure. As soon as you jump in the seat, and sometimes long before, the spotlights are turned on. These can burn very warm at times and it takes a thick skin and cool temperament to cope.
Playing the old, "it's just a game" line would be fine if we were playing a one player, stand alone game but we're not. Many people put in many hours making their MU's and parties run smoothly so others can enjoy the game. As a result, and quite rightly, they have high expectations from those who choose to move into positions of leadership. The actions of the CP and his/her cabinet affect all citizens.
If you do have life issues, please seek help from health professionals, not from an online game. The hardest step is the first one, facing up to the fact and asking for help. From there it all gets better.

Dr. Homer, laying down some knowledge.
Dr Homer knows what he is talking about
Surprisingly serious! 😛
Amen to that
I'm actually TOO mentally stable to run for CP.
Anyone that's had the job before knows exactly what I'm talking about.
Wise words.

Glad you were here to tell us Teddy
😛
Soooo.... should I register for some therapy sessions in the near future? My predecessor had a meltdown in 8 days.
My rates are very reasonable
I can't afford 1 tank right now, what do you got?
I think I saw Dr Homer on 60 minutes or Currant Affair once.
You know about the boy who drowned in his porridge? He was pulled in by a strong currant.
Ardikus, you'll do fine and if you don't we have yst31 and James R Bond waiting to take the jerb from you.
Voted.And if the second candidate can't handle the pressure,there are a third option too..... xDD
Just kidding,good luck to Ardikus.

All of this from Homer a man who has been there, done that ,multiple times and even has the T-shirt to prove it.
He practically runs the Conventions now.
I believe the CP position should be banned by the Geneva Convention under cruel and unusual punishment laws.
It's not that bad. Yes, it's high stress and the pay sucks, but kicking the shit out of the enemy is kind of fun.
Next month?
A good CP has to have your leather and stay focused.
A good CP doesn't necessarily have to wear leather. The whip does help though 😛
Dr. Homer 4CP (again) !
Aye, it ain't an easy job, I reckon only 2/10 manage to crack it.
You were lucky enough to have it with no congress. Count your blessings.
I had both
Game would be better without it tbh 😛
muppets....
I ran for CP once...glad I came second.
