There, but for the grace of God, goes Henry Arundel

This last month in USWP has been a good one in most regards. Our membership has grown a little, we were successful during Congressional elections, and we helped to return Alexander_Auctoritas to the Presidency. I am proud of the work we've done over this last month, and I hope to continue with it for another month.



Despite repeated messages going out to the entire party, and personal follow ups from me to those who have shown some interest, it's been difficult to get newer players involved in the day to day administration of things. Luckily, we had a few true standouts during Congressionals last month and Rock has some solid people to look at for more intense PAC training, so progress is being made.

But that isn't enough.

The increasing dominance of the military module on the overall game is making it harder and harder to identify people looking to explore the political module beyond elections for Congress and the Presidency. Should I be returned to office as President of this party, my singular personal goal will not be party membership or Congressional seats, but the development of three potential Party Presidents. We already have an excellent option in the person of SGTRock, but we need to continue looking forward.

I've seen a number of excellent players come within inches of grabbing that brass ring, whatever it might be for them, and missing. USWP has always been an institution that can open more doors than any other in our national history. For better or worse we've elected good and bad Presidents and Congressional leaders, and produced a number of military leaders. Almost everyone who will be spoken about when referencing the giants of a political institution (be it Congress, the Executive, or simply running a party), has spent time here.

If you're a newer player, we'd like to help open these doors for you. If you're a bit older, USWP is always looking for new talent to bring something exciting to the table.

If you have any questions about the party, or have any interest in joining, shoot me a message. I'm always available to chat.

Now, on to a personal section of this article:

Most importantly, I'm considering an avatar change. I'm thinking Cheryl Cole. I'm still incredibly pissed at Fox for booting her from the US X Factor. Stupidest decision ever.



People often mention me in articles or shouts, talking about my thoughts, motivations, beliefs, what have you. 90% of the time, they have no idea what they're talking about. If you'll take note, I haven't been active in any decision-making roles in the government for a while now. This isn't because they haven't been offered, I simply decided it was best for the country not to bring that level of (often hilarious) drama into government. I still advise people when asked, and I'm keeping up with intelligence operations, but have dialed back the rest.

I couldn't care less about all of the recent articles where people talk about the 'division' in the country. I don't see it, because the country isn't divided, we simply have what we always have had...battling egos. It's not new, and a major crisis is the only way we're going to see how big they truly are. I don't care about who runs what, or why, or how. There are some issues that still annoy me, and I've been vocal about them, but even those are fairly trivial at this point.

I don't care how other people play this game. I might think it's stupid, but for those who haven't noticed, I've not talked about it for the last few months. I get talked about as much as anyone shy of the President (whoever it is at any given time) and Ajay (when his latest account is active). So, if you want to talk about me, feel free, but stop talking out of your butts. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has on any topic, barring personal issues, or secrets that aren't mine to share.

So, I'd enjoy not receiving messages from new players who've been indoctrinated to think I'm the devil, I'd appreciate not being in people's shouts as some enemy to be conquered (cause you can’t... 😉), and I'd be grateful if people would stop putting words in my mouth. I never have a problem saying what I think, so just ask.

disclaimer: I'm still gonna call stupid people stupid, and I'm not going to stop being the best Party President of 2011 (had to give props to the '09 crew...RIP Ananias/Zcia).
