King Kong of USWP

King Kong (Mandatory listening)
Day 2636 of the New World
February 7, 2015



During the past 3 weeks of my Party leadership, the USWP has seen a slight increase in every measurable gauge for activity and success (with the exception of IRC. Our room is still boring – a problem I am working on but still need some help with a few resources.)

USWP regards itself as America’s party.

We have contributed greatly to the success of eUSA through Wild-ly successful Country Presidents (see what I did there?) such as Wild Owl, Deepchill, and yours truly. (In fact 9 of the last 16 Country Presidents are members of USWP). We have an excellent record of sending astute citizens to Congress. We have shown that we are a party open to new eager players. We are not interested in comparing ourselves with other Parties who also do a fine job, we simply seek to be the best we can be and are willing to state that as a fact.



And so in addition to this tacit invitation to join us in America’s Party (you can do so by visiting this here page right here and clicking the appropriate buttons FTW), I am also taking this opportunity to announce my intention to continue my leadership as Party President of USWP.



Party members know how busy I’ve been, so I don’t think I need to toot my horn. I’ll just ask them to cast their vote my way once again on February 15th.

But I will spend a few more pixels explaining what, in general, I hope we will accomplish together during my next term of office.

1: As I mentioned above, (and in my campaign article for last term), I want our IRC room to be a little bit more “a place to be”. One of my own difficulties in accomplishing this is that I am not much of an IRC user myself. But I do have a sense of how much fun and benefit are found there. I don’t think that a particularly active IRC room is necessarily a recipe for party growth, but I do think that an active IRC room is a good recipe for retaining players to the game, and that is my ultimate goal as PP. I truly care more about the game than the party. And since I think an active IRC room is a recipe for GAME GROWTH, I am committed to the growth of #USWPchat. You'll see...

2: This past month we have slowly rolled out some changes in our approach to new players. A lot of what I am developing now is based on what I have learned during the past three weeks. I am 5 years removed from being a new citizen, and it’s been about 18 months since I have been exposed to the new player experience (I multied). Having now interacted with more and more of them, I know what our party needs to do. We will do it.

3: I was as surprised as you were that our party won a majority share of Congress last month. Since I can honestly say that I have no idea how it happened, I really have no way of promising a repeat performance. What I can promise is that I will be just as attentive to sending good citizens to congress. I may even ask some of our senior members to take the month off to make room for our growing class of younger members who have expressed their eagerness to experience congress.

4: One of the things I do worst in life (as in this game) is communication. It’s a personality quirk. I am a good dreamer… a visionary… but I am not particularly gifted in communicating my vision. So I have to constantly struggle, in life as in this game, to make sure my vision is understood and shared by those whose involvement will be key. I think I have succeeded in this as USWP PP this past month. So I will make it a goal to continue to communicate regularly with Party members about our challenges, successes, and needs. Not very sexy, I know, but necessary.

5: I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I don’t want to share publicly. Suffice to say that USWP will remain on the cutting edge of LEGAL approaches to Party management and growth.



So for Pete’s sake, vote Gnilraps for USWP Party President. And if you are USWP and have signed up to run for USWP and do not intend to oppose me in this race, here is your reminder to resign from the race so we will have a nice clean slate. After all, you never know if we will need our voters to help protect one of the other parties from PTO.
