This was the fight, and Mexico won. We won.

Suck it Argentina.



Meanwhile in Scandinavia, our Pacifica Ally is taking Norway to school. They have won three battles in a row, and are about to attack.

Iran has attacked Russia, but these are arranged land swaps.

Our other Pacifica Ally, Latvia is attempting to school Belarus, winning two battles in a row. They are about to attack.

Canada has attacked the HOLY Land, successfully conducting an Airstrike on Pakistan. They are wiping the floor with the Pakis. I has a sad. Keep your chin up. You will prevail.

Keep fighting and Keep shaking that ass.



Education: Party Presidency
MrCarey

Hello everyone, MrCarey here from the Department of Education with some information regarding the Party President position! Elections were yesterday for the spot of Party President and there are some things that people should know about this position. First off, some people claim that PP is the most important position in the game, even more so than Country President. The Party President has 2 sets of responsibilities; in-game responsibilities and meta-game responsibilities.

In-game Responsibility

There are a few things the Party President is responsible for doing. To illustrate this, I’m pulling graphics from a previous DoE article about PP. One of the responsibilities is to set and/or edit the Party details. This is the information that gives you a brief description of the party when you are on the Party Page.




Another thing the PP has control over is the final ranking of congressional candidates. The PP has the power to modify the list and rank players. Basically, congress members are ultimately decided by top to low ranking. Some parties determine this ranking by the use of primaries, others simply leave the decision to the PP.



The Party President also gets to set the candidate of who the Party wants to represent for the Country President elections. Again, this is decided either by primaries or the PP him/herself.



Lastly, the final in-game ability of the PP is to choose and assign the Cabinet members of the Party. This list is usually determined at the discretion of the PP and who they feel is best suited for the position.



Meta Game Responsibilities

These responsibilities may arguably be the most important and crucial of the Party President. These tasks vary Party to Party, but mainly involve setting tasks for the Cabinet members to achieve daily or weekly. These tasks could involve the forums, IRC, in-game issues - basically anything that affects the “engine” of the Party. Many of you may realize, a lot of this game takes place off-site either in the forums or IRC. There simply just aren’t enough tools in-game to accomplish everything that is needed to run an effective and efficient Party.
So if this sounds like something you are interested in and a challenge you would like to take on, keep it in mind for next month’s elections. Get involved in your Party in a Cabinet position, or even as a deputy to a Cabinet member. Make yourself known within your Party, and the Party President job may not be far from your reach.

American Hero: Rainy Sunday
Blande

Individual sacrifices are made daily in our world for the betterment of our country. People accept enormous responsibilities to protect and strengthen our nation and its ePosition. Few however, have made the sacrifices, or had to shoulder the responsibilities that Rainy Sunday has. To say she is deserving of this American Hero award would be an understatement.

From being the first Operational Commander of the USAF - and the only one until very recently – to the work she performed in Congress as the Congressional Librarian, she has been an integral part for years in the administrative infrastructure of her country.

She definitely deserves more than just this award, which is why in addition we are providing a special award of 9 PONIES as well as these words from some of our leaders


Rainy is an outstanding American. It's been a pleasure working with her in so many projects over the years. I can't think of many people who have done more for the country.
– Secretary of Defense dmjohnston

Rainy Sunday epitomizes what a Soldier should be, strong, steadfast and hard working. She was the backbone of USAF and set the bar so high I may never reach it, but I will always reach for it.
– USAF Operational Commander Dave Gulya

Rainy Sunday is an integral member of the eUS society. She is a unique type of player. Her attitude towards other players is to always help out, and help clear situations. I've never seen her flame or troll and I never will. This is why I praise her a lot!
- NSC Co-Chairman The Mike

Totally critical in getting USAF put together from multiple different MUs with different supply levels and amounts. Worked hard on making the USAF what it is. Spent hours upon hours working for the MU. Not only that but she also helped out as the congress Librarian.
– NSC Co-Chairman John nwp

Bah, I'm no good with such things, which especially troubles me here as I pretty much idolize Rainy for all the mostly thankless hard work, and she put up with all my stupid questions back when I was new.
- USWP Party President Kortanul



Writing Contest

We've been running our Writing Contest for a while now, but not a single article came in. There's no point in coming up with ideas and rewards if nobody pays attention, so we are putting the contest on hold indefinitely.

Having said that, we will be working on new ideas for programs that could help boost the media presence of the eUSA.
