Emperor Rick - Party President BoL

Day 1,561, 22:34 • Published in USA Canada • by Emperor Rick

I once wrote an article about a Sheriff named Joe: http://tinyurl.com/78rnwv2
Keeping with that theme I want to talk to you about a man named Joseph Dinero.



I've known JD for over a year. I've assisted him at times with the Fraternity, joined the Bastards of Liberty as his Party Vice President, I've been is posse for quite a while. JD is a great leader who knows HOW to get things done. Unfortunately good leaders tire easily due to the amount of attention this job requires. It's absolutely amazing he's done this job for as long as he has...

Setting off into the Sunset
Joe is not seeking reelection next month; he's stepping down from the job as Sheriff.

Now it's time for a new Sheriff: Emperor Rick

Times are tough America, have you seen? It's the Walker Apocalypse!

Election Campaign Promises

1) Expand the party to triple digits - 100+ members
Right now our party membership is in the high 80's. Thanks to JD's leadership he brought us to the top 10. I want to push us further! Over 100 members and closer to the top 5 spot. This isn't something a Party President can do by himself; I will require a lot of activity from our members.

2) Implementing JD's Bastard Bank
I absolutely loved this idea when JD first brought it up in the forums. I want this plan outlined & implemented by the end of my first term.

3) Cleaning the forums
I sent a census out to our members a couple of days ago. Among the questions I asked was "what is everyone's thought about the forums?". Among the negative replies was that it is cluttered. We have DEAD & derailed threads all over the place. One of my pet peeves (although i'm guilty of this as well) is the derailing of topics. The forums are perhaps our most important asset to the party. If we're going to collect active members we're going to need it to be as efficient and appealing as possible. I'm going to allow the forum admin more flexibility to enforce new guidelines. Guidelines, which will be shaped at a later time upon my election.

The look and design will be addressed once Deriachai has the new forums ready for use.

4) More Representatives in Congress
Olaf was elected to congress, but it was a shame that Deriachai could not be there with him because of unexpected events outside our control. During our next election cycle I will be seeking to cooperate with the top five to secure hopefully 2 or more seats.

5) Cabinet will be announced at a later time
