[UKRP]For Your Consideration

Day 2,012, 21:09 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Dishmcds
Hello to all my fellow UKers, and UKRP members alike.

I am presenting today, in somewhat of an old fashioned way, to tell you why I would like to receive your vote (for UKRP) in Congress. I believe in being old-fashioned, and would like to see the UK return to having some of the power and influence that we used to have, which I feel has diminished.

So, without further ado, here's a little about me, and what I intend to do.

ABOUT ME

I'm not going to go into some long list about things I've done in my five and a half years here in eRepublik. I've been President a handful (7), I've worked in every Ministry, and I've been in Congress since before they gave away medals for it. I've been a wartime CP, and a maritime CP.

But I haven't done that in some time, so let's look at what I would bring to the table:

THE FUTURE

I envision a Government that allows for every type of Erepublik player. In my time, I've found that using forums and IRC for communication outside of eRepublik have proven successful, but I've also come to compromise as some people just don't want to. That's their right, and I'm more than willing to implement some kind of in game census, messaging, recruitment, and
so on the ensure that we're not only trying to play nice with those of us who believe in total cooperation and communication outside, but that we allow for anyone and everyone here to communicate as well.

Unlike others, I believe these two types of players go hand in hand, and benefit each other. I think they need each other to be more successful, whether they know it or not. Your normal every day player who wants to play his game needs those of us willing to forum and IRC to put the time in and coordinate things. Your forum and IRC player needs those of you willing to show up and poor your hearts, minds, and damage into this country.

In short, we need everyone, and we need to allow for that. I will work tirelessly to try to get this in. I would like to see Congress operate on forums as that's the most effective way. Some will tell you that it is impossible, but there was a time when we had 99% of Congress on the forum every day, all day, and we loved it. We had ideas, we had innovative things come out of it (The NHS was born from that, and look at what program is still going after all this time!). We actually talked about how to do things, and how to compromise.

That's what I'll bring. UKRP member, NE member, TUP member alike, if you suck, I'm going to tell you that you suck, and why. I'm going to set an example of someone who works his ass off to make this country the best, and I'm going to expect every member of Congress, my party, and otherwise to do the same.

I've done it before. I ask for your vote to do it again.

On behalf of the UKRP, I thank you for your time.

H(J)ugs and Kisses,
Dishmcds
Former 7 time President
