It's Not What You Know, It's Who!

Day 1,464, 08:06 Published in United Kingdom Belgium by Veruvia


Thanks to Talon Karrde who was indispensable in giving me the idea for this article and providing me with some names.



The Prime Minister - temujin94

The Prime Minister is the man at the top. Think of him as the person you’d go to if someone else doesn’t give you a sufficient answer. He’s always willing to answer questions. All you had to do is drop him a personal message on the forums or find him on IRC.



Minister(s) of Home Affairs - Invalidation and stockyrocky310597

These blokes will try and give the best start in your new eLife by giving you free food, directing you where you can get free stuff and assigning you a mentor (if you want one). If that’s not enough, they run forum games and sometimes write guides to help new players. So, if you’ve just started out and you’re wondering what to do, find these fine specimen.



Minister(s) of Foreign Affairs - Thomas765 & Mittekemuis

Know another language? Have great diplomatic skills? Want to earn a few GBP for doing simple tasks? Then you’ll want to speak to these lovely people. They’ve revitalised the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and now they’re looking for envoys to go travelling the world and find out information. Even if you aren’t interested in that and just want to know about the world, just ask them. They’re super friendly!



Minister of Finance - Emergy Maxfell

Emergy is basically our resident Santa. He gives us free stuff in return for sticking around. He’s a great bloke. If ever you want a loan to build your empire, wonder what to build next or even just have a few questions, he’s the bloke to go to. If that’s not enough, you can also claim free food from him by posting on the ESO Soup Kitchen so long as you’re under level twenty so it’s a double bonus with Mr Maxfell!



Under-Minister of Finance - Octavian Ratstrangler

The name might seem terrifying but he’s a great bloke at heart. If you’re building expensive things like saltpeter mines or cattle ranches, you can always go to him and ask for a land grant which will basically pay for your land costs. Why? Because that’s the kind of thing we do here! If that’s not enough, he also gives you money to upgrade your town hall when it’s ready. Free monies, ftw!



Minister of Legislative Affairs - Talon Karrde

Talon Karrde is the guy who controls Congress, telling them to shut up if they get too noisy. If you ever have questions about legislation or if you want to run for Congress, you can always speak to him and he’d be happy to answer your questions. It’s always good to get an idea of what you’re getting yourself in for when you run for Congress.



Minister(s) of Defence - Kravenn and Sir Mic

So, I hear you want to join the army? You want to speak to those guys over there, yeah, the one with the moustache and the one with the cigar. In all seriousness, Kravenn and Sir Mic are our Ministers of Defence so, basically, they’re in charge of our military. If you haven’t joined a party-affiliated military unit, the eUK military is always a great choice since they give you free food and weapons. If you think this sounds good to you, go put your name on that list.



United Kingdom Reform Party - Sir Humphrey Appleby

Sir Humphrey Appleby is the party president of the United Kingdom Reform Party, the largest party in the United Kingdom. If you think capitalism is something you’re down with, these guys could be just for you! Appleby is usually around so you can always ask him a few questions or just hang around in their channel to get a feel for them.



The Unity Party - Courtneys

Courtneys is the party president of the Unity Party, a socialist (left-wing) party that’s had a lot of success in recent months. The last three terms have seen them successfully win the presidential elections and they’re a great bunch of guys and gals. They’re always open to have a chat. If you can’t find Courtneys, you can always speak to someone else like Dan Moir, Invalidation or Talon Karrde who will be able to help you.



Every Single One - Veruvia

Well, that’s me. I’m a fun-loving kind of guy looking for people with a good sense of humour and a warm smile. If interested, please join Every Single One. Now, in seriousness, our party doesn’t have an ideology. It’s a collective of individuals who are all entitled to have their own opinions. We don’t force opinion on people and we like to have a good debate. So, if you like sarcasm and hugs, we’re the ones to join!



People’s Communist Party - Keithunder

You can guess what I’m going to say. Yes, that’s right, Keithunder is the party president of the People’s Communist Party, a party, unsurprisingly, associated with communism. If this sounds like the kind of thing you’re into, why not find them and have a chat with them? I’m sure they’d be happy to have you!



Iain Keers - Citizenship Committee/ONE Secretary-General

Iain Keers is the bloke you’d speak to if you want to get citizenship. He’s a big hit in ONE and that’s why he’s also their Secretary-General, so basically, he’s our representative over there. If you ever want to have a chat with him about ONE or if you want citizenship, I’m sure his metaphorical door will always be open.



Dishmcds - Former UKRP Prime Minister

Dishmcds is a former UKRP Prime Minister and he considers UKRP to be his “baby” so it’s always good to get him on your side. If ever you need some help from within UKRP or if you feel like you need to talk to someone experienced, why not have a chat with him?



Jamesw - ESO Legion Commander

Jamesw is the ESO Legion Commander which is a quasi-economic military unit. You get ten free Q5 weapons every day for working in one of their jobs and you get 1000 wellness every week regardless. You can also claim rewards for completing certain tasks. So, if you feel like you want to be rewarded for fighting hard, speak to jamesw today!



Mr Woldy - His Royal Majesty, the King

Yes, that’s right. We have a King. Mr Woldy is an all-round fantastic bloke and he’s unbelievably friendly. You can claim free stuff from him, chat about games with him or even demand he give you titles. I still haven’t got one yet but maybe one of you might have more luck! Just don’t try and take his throne. The last one to try that was executed.



Tom Morgan/ecksohh - National Treasure

Tom Morgan (or ecksohh) is our national treasure, credited with drastically improving the status of the eUK military. In fact, he’s so treasured that someone even tried to make it so that he was forced back into his old role. If you’re interested in military matters and want a different opinion, I’m sure he’d be happy to have a chat.



Mentors - Emergy Maxfell, Largo Creighton Smith, Jimbojoy and Courtneys

As I mentioned above, the Ministry of Home Affairs run a mentoring scheme that gives people the opportunity to be guided through their eLife with the help of one of our older, more experienced players. If this is something you’d be interested in, speak to Jimbojoy who heads up the operation or just contact one of the individual mentors if you like the sound of them.



Mustache Extraordinaire - Horice G. Fossil (By Popular Request

Legendary mustachioed Brit with a penchant for gifs and clever turns of phrase. Former military commander, general curmudgeon. He's now travelling the world to delight them with his whimsical tales and delightful .gif posts.
