Let's not make a mockery of eAustralia's top seat. The CP should be a strong leader, one that can make difficult decisions in a heartbeat, not someone who has to say hang on a minute and consult his other half. How long will those that wish to have diplomatic conversations have to wait on an answer while one or the other CP have to contact the other to see what they think, then finally make a decision?
I may be young, I am only 3 months old come April 15th, but take a look at how much I have achieved in that 3 months. I was elected into Senate 10 days after starting the game, elected Deputy Speaker 1 month and 10 days after starting the game, and elected Speaker 2 months and 10 days after starting to play the game. I was granted an Inspector General traineeship 15 days after starting this game, and by March 9th, a little over a month later, I was handling entire cases to report back to the Inspector General.
This is what I have achieved in my short time playing this game. I am someone who can make decisions, get things done, and get what I need to achieve the end result I am looking for. So you tell me, what kind of leader do you want? One that will have to consult his other half, or one that will get things done?
Take a look at my Cabinet (http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/cabinet-announcement-for-cp-election-april-2012-1997564/1/20). You will see I have included people who are experienced in the critical roles, people who will do their job well, regardless of what Political Party they are from. Then take a look at "greenman's" Cabinet, and you will see that they heavily favour APP, and have only included 2 non APP members in any of the Minister or Deputy Minister roles.
I am quite concerned about this, as they have re-employed Ministers who have not done their job in previous months. I ask everyone to take a look at the Education and new player relations Dept, where absolutely nothing happened last month, yet "greenman" insist on re-employing the same Minister there. This is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!
Education and new player relations especially, is a very important Department, as this effects the future of eAustralia, and its population. How would you ever expect to increase the population of eAustralia without devoting a lot of effort into helping and nurturing new players, and making the game more fun and interesting for them. I have a Minister that is very passionate about new player development, and is backed up by new players as Deputies. Who better to know what new players need other than new players? I just dont think "greenman" spent any time thinking about their cabinet, and just invited all their APP friends.
I implore you, don't make a mockery of eAustralia's top job on election day, vote for the better, stronger future of eAustralia, vote for witherd1.

I support this. There should be only ONE CP.
Greenimp and arfman made it clear though, arfman will be running in-game to get CP medal and greenimp will be doing all the CP work. Arfman is just a vehicle per say.
2 CPs is a bad idea. No one can be held accountable when they simply point the finger at the other. Keep it simple, and elect one CP.
I am shocked that you, being a former member of the education department and knowing full well that Education is a job that involves a lot of behind the scenes work, that you would openly slander Arolia and Roboa. Arolia in particular has a record for being a person who helps and support young players, and he is always working on new schemes to promote eRepublik and encourage new players to join the game. Just because doesn't spend all day promoting himself doesn't mean he won't do an exceptional job in the role.
In his article announcing our cabinet, greenimp put a call out to any new players interested in getting involved. I know for a fact that the APP leadership takes great pride in their reputation as a party that encourages young players to get involved, and I am aware that they have been contacting new players who are enthusiastic to make themselves known to greenimp and myself. It is not my fault if the other parties do not do this for their new players - I can only appoint people that show a desire to get involved.
It also wouldn't be fair to say it is a wholly APP cabinet. We have at least 2 members of ANP in there who have had cabinet experience.
We cannot be accused of keeping the jobs with the "old guard" or some would call the "elites" whatever that may be as we believe in giving young ones a chance at gaining experience.
You too, witherd, have served in the cabinet while seated as a Senator with APP support and banner, if you can recall. I request that you think carefully before attacking my choice of cabinet again.
I have also discovered, at the beginning of the campaign, that you have invited many of my party colleagues into your cabinet. I do not dictate which cabinet they would choose to serve in and have left it up to them if they want to join yours. However, from my understanding, many have declined based on your continued attacks on the APP.
I support one CP!
I support witherd1!
And at the previous two commentators, I know from the records that you mentioned that you strictly like to keep this purely to in-game mechanics. You will hear it straight from my lips: in this game, I will be CP and I will be doing the button clicking, but not without the input from the people of my cabinet, but it will be at my final say. This is not unprecedented.
Arfman you further my comments. You will just be the button clicker who is sitting in game as CP while another person acts as the CP everywhere else and does all the work.
You are being elected as CP in-game and then getting a free ride of not having to do anything yourself.
I know as a previous Deputy of Education, that it is most certainly NOT all behind the scenes. How are new players going to ever see the "new player article", the one directing them to all the important links, if it isn't reposted? How are new players ever going to learn anything new if new articles aren't written to "educate" them? In my term as Deputy Minister of Education, I had feedback from experienced players, players that had played much much longer than myself, that they were learning things from my articles. Education doesn't always mean just "new players". So I still emphasise, as much as I like Arolia, he is not the man for the job.
As for you Cabinet, you dont have "at least 2 ANP members", you have JUST 2 ANP members, and no other people from any other Party's included in your Cabinet. I don't believe that all the right people for the job reside in APP. Though I did have a lot of friends in APP, I wouldnt just include them because they are my friends, they need to be suited to the job.
greenimp put out a call to new players, sure he did, so did I, and I have been speaking with many behind the scenes too, and I continue my quest to include more new players in my Cabinet, and I shall. Space has been left in the Deputies for a reason, and Interns can and will also be employed.
I am unsure what your reference to me being in Senate at the same time as Cabinet refers to, but I never said that is a bad thing, and as I have made extremely clear before, and will continue to do, I promote a closer relationship and more respect between Cabinet and Senate, and always will do.
I still believe your "team" is not the one for the job. Why would anyone vote for a CP that will only be the "in game CP", when most negotiations happen outside of the game?
@KK I will be doing more than just that. I am writing policies as we speak for presentation, I will be a full fledged CP, and this is not without input from my cabinet.
Some of you are the guys who have been running with me as purely a button clicking CP. This is purely a lie. Show me your source, preferably with pictures, or I will deny this as merely fiction.
I want to be CP as much as anyone who achieves to be one, and have stood up to the job to do so at this moment. Otherwise why would I spend any of my time merely to click buttons for something as an in-game medal that does nothing for my real life? I am doing this for the Ausrep community for which if they not exist, is merely a very boring game at this stage.
Personally mate, I dont think you have stood up to the job, if you did, you wouldn't have a "co-CP". If you were serious about the job, why didn't you run for the job in your own right? I can't help but think you didn't feel confident enough. We can't have a CP in place in game that isn't confident in his ability, no matter how many in-confident people you put together to run for the job, it still does not equal confident.
I present myself to run CP, and greenimp will be my co-CP. If I am not confident, I wouldn't have run at all. This isn't all for jokes, and I hope you're equally confident in running for CP. A month in this role isn't a walk in the park.
Arfman, If you had to choose rl between having Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard as Prime Minister or Malcom Turnbull being Prime Minister, Would you vote for K and Julia or Turnbull?
This is exactly the case, Just in Erep, I think i'd be voting Witherd1 thanks Arf.
Not cool. This manner of attack is the real mockery.
Deliberately altering the meaning of other candidate' platform instead of sticking to arguing the strength of your own candidacy places a serious shadow over your campaign. If this is how you deal with pressure; it places serious doubt on your ability to deal internationally. And the CP ultimately steer international relations, with the MoFA being a facilitator.
Consider your way forward carefully and reflect in your campaign the kind of leader you will be if elected.
This is a pretty disgusting tactic and one that will backfire come election day. Here's some straight talk to cool the political fires: Arfman is e-old as dirt. He's been there. 12 term Senator - an average of 2x the amount of legislative branch experience of the combined Senate, 20 x Hard Worker - more than a number when you have to be on every day, every month for 20 months to get this count. That's acvitityMAXX. Arf is like most of us, he has RL and this arrangement gives the people continuity.
If people want to discuss this honestly and without politics - lets. I've lost track at the number of CPs who run for office and have fallen inactive barely half way through their term. We've been lucky with Larni because she always had a plan if she wasn't on - and she made sure the job was done. But this isn't about the here and now - what next? In this race all we've heard is APP v APP v Free Bacon and the GreenMan v witherd1 BS. What about making sure essential government services are properly provided? What about making sure we have an active CP into the future?
The next line we'll see is "oh friend I promise you .. this .. this .. and this". Forget it. People will lie and sell their soul for the CP medal. Look at Arfman's record of service to the people, his ability to get along with people of all parties, all military units and the combined strengths of this incoming government. Play on.
And not for nothing, witherd1, but this is where you failed in your argument the worst:
"Let's not make a mockery of eAustralia's top job."
eAustralia's top job isn't the CP - it's being a citizen.
TJ had no plan to quit erep, it was all just a cry for attention.
CP is Australia's top job. They are charged with protecting our country and keeping the wheels of government turning. They are Numero Uno. But now this is being split in half. Who do we hold to account? Both? A CP should have the brass balls to stand in their own right. This is a mockery.
How can we hold a person to account that wasn't actually elected in-game?
" CP is Australia's top job. They are charged with protecting our country and keeping the wheels of government turning."
How so? It took over a year to get any kind of resolution to the Sir_C0nstant ANP government theft trials and this left the nation with the impression that we as citizens are powerless. RP laws up the ying yang, b#tch..b#tch..b#tch until the sun goes down - what did it do?
Case in point - the civic system of trial stinks. Even from an RP standpoint we don't even have a constituted court system. The answer to date has been LET THE SENATE DECIDE. We could go around for days on end on this but what's that got to do with the CP? Nothing.
@D😨 I'm still not deleted. Don't hate because eRep admins have a duhhh complex.
TJ your comments become more delerious by the day.
You should stop posting comments and just go silently into the night.
Be calm people! His MoFA will be alright and steer the ideas :{D
You misunderstand what a MoFA does. The MoFA acts upon the instruction of the CP. The ENTIRE cabinet are extensions of the CP. The buck starts and stops with the CP.
If in doubt, it is the CP who gets impeached by Senate and not the cabinet.
As to the two-CPs misnomer - having you vCP on while you sleep and eat is a Good Idea™. Shutting down government because you cannot find anyone to trust is a Bad Idea™. Ultimately, the vCP is but an extension of the CP when all hell breaks loose, but nothing stops them and the rest of Cabinet being people who's ideas you value... it is encouraged for a successful government.
You guys are all losers, need to get some lives.
Loooooooserssss
@TJ - why don't you change your email to madashell@noneonecares.com and password to saklfjofkvnkahfiohvkahgfidhvviduhgkdhvkdkgh12876yiuhfi3ugv
Then we won't have to see you here anymore. Pretty sad that you can not quit on your own.
LOL at the ANP trolls who don't have the mental capacity to debate - so they troll. No wonder they're in opposition and will stay in opposition, clearly can't de trusted to answer the most simple things.
