Communication: do you love your government?
•
by Oblige
The song I'm listening to right now: Respect
Good Afternoon eAmerica,
Every now and then during the campaign process that inspires me make an adjustment in what I set as goals for the upcoming month. In this case it was (surprisingly) a post from Valiant Thor. He sai😛
" A constant stream [of information] from [the] government towards the community is not communication.
Communication goes both ways."
And that really made me think.
A constant stream of information? Check. We've had that this month. Custer recently wrote in a group message that he considered us to be blessed with the greatest media team in recent memory, and I confess I must agree with him. That team has churned out WHPRs three times a week or more since the beginning of the term, revived the months dead Pony Express and brought eNPR back to its former glory. Even such long dusty newspapers as the State Department's are back in use- to say nothing of the rock n' roll efforts of the Interior and Education team.
But are things going the other way?
Hmmmmmmmm.
Maybe? I don't know. I've started some threads on the forum to garner feedback, as well as one more in private for our National Security Council Commanders and 2nd Commanders.
It's something I'd like to hear back from you on even if you don't use the forums, so please chime in in the comments below.

Because this article is being published in campaign season I believe I'm obligated to include some jabberwalkie about how awesome this term has been (as if you didn't know already), so as a reminder this is what we've done so far:
★ Removed the Hungarians from our core regions and destroyed the Hungarian Empire.
★ Saved French and Canadian Congresses (the first by supporting their AS and the second through negotiation)
★ Liberated our Bros in Russia
★ Liberated our Bros in Mexico
★ Retook half of our States from TWO Occupation
★ Whitehouse Press Report 3+ /week
★ Pony Express 1+ /week
★ Department of the Interior Paper 2+ /week
★ Department of Education Paper 2+ /week
★ New Department of Education Website
★ Balanced the United States Armed Forces Budget (twice requested under the budget line amount)
★ Started the New National Security Council with participation from most major military units

I'd like to talk about my cabinet. It will remain mostly the same as last term, because it's a winning team and sort of like with Country President I don't believe in changing horses mid-river, but we do have several key openings including Deputy Chief of Staff.
Additionally, after dominating the anti-take over scene with pure awesomeness for many months now Josh Frost has decided to give it a rest this month and has stepped down as Secretary of Homeland Security. We are thankful for his service, and it will be difficult to replace him.
If you'd like to join the team in any capacity, complete this form: http://bit.ly/ObligeCabApp - we review every application.

Thanks again eAmerica, as always, for taking the time to read my article.
Presidentially,

P.S. Can you give me a shout?

Ok... I lied. But in positive ways, as retired Arm America Director im always finding the day that we would start AA once again!
No need for AA anymore due Combat orders
[removed]
As long money feeds enough people, but the most important point as AA was get everyone in the world known that we are hitting here and we need help (+ that free stuff to promote our helpers). Combat orders are just IG extra, but not so visible as AA was. I hope people drops off their blind folders some day and re-starts AA again.

Valiant Thor also said he was a closeted homosexual.... At the end of the day you have to look at the character of the person. Hitler has made a lot of reasonable quotes, but quoting him is not exactly a vote of confidence.
You mean transsexual?
Of course I am eager to hear your evaluation of my character any time.
It is only a matter of time until your fate becomes that of mine. You can't control, I couldn't. If only time was our friend.
I'm also eager to hear what your fate was or is.
This conversation is all kinds of crazy. I am intrigued.
Yeah.. there has to be some information missing here😐
Wow. Being a virulent homophobe and breaking Godwins law all in one. Bravo my friend. P.S. The 1930's called. They want their bigotry back.
Because your opinion is so important. You have no idea what I was speaking about or the context to which it applies. Do yourself a favor and don't let the door hit you in the ass.
In addition just because you are of questionable intelligence I will amuse you. 1) Saying said one said he was a HomoSexual does not me a Homophobia. It is called a fact... The 1930's is a pretty shit example, try 1950s.
Saying Someone Said*
Wow. Being a virulent homophobe and breaking Godwins law all in one. Bravo my friend. P.S. The 1930's called. They want their bigotry back.
I actually just skimmed it for references to me.
Too Boring, Didn't Read.
TBDR
Well that is why it was boring. You didn't even pay attention or even read it. Among other things.
Substance. You need substance. BAD. Learn how to run a campaign or hire someone.
imagine 'this boring article' multiplied with your boring self-
things get superboring!!
so, go fill your promises to your player, they might just not vote for you this time for the lies you spread!
if I am so boring why not just ignore me?
ignoring you, does not necessarily mean i do not react to boring people like you. or reacting to your sprawling boredom!!
in other words, we're not talking here of classic ignoring.
besides, you're not ignoring boring articles, in stead you're making your presence evident.
so here it is again, this article is about 10 thousand times more fun than you!! at least there is no lies or fake promises like Paying 1k for a vote!!!!
go deliver what you have promised to people.
i agree with Dr Strangeluve over that issue
Best song ever right there.
One thing I`ve wanted to see is gov position recruiting. I know the gov in some places needs help and as there may be only 1 or 2 people managing a gov project that has to be maintained. We have a few over worked people that could defiantly use some further staffing.(welcoming committee, I know always needs help) I`d love to see an Egov recruitment fair. It would as well help bring in some new a fresh blood to the Government.(as you`ve heard people wanting with you planning on going even another term in presidency)
This is an interesting idea. I can see it playing out a couple of ways, but the most obvious would be for us to write an article in each department's paper:
"Come work for the Department of " this is what we do, this is what we need help with, these are the jobs, and these are the requirements.
Keep up the good work!
I was very skeptical about you leading the country to say the least and openly criticized not just a few of your standpoints as well as actions.
Unlike many, you don't disregard opinions because they come from certain persons.
Reaching out to the community this way and asking for their input is again a great thing, as I feel you are doing it sincere and not just "pro forma".
You have surprised me in a very positive way and I think that at this point you deserve another PotUS term. This is also an indirect compliment to the members of your cabinet; I may not share the viewpoints that are openly communicated through the media, but I think they've set the standards regarding productivity and amount of content very high.
What I would like to see is the top parties getting involved in politics in a more open way, with quality platforms and different agendas, not just being a meeting point of different lobbyist groups.
And no, my account has not been hijacked LMAO
O.o
You made a lot of valid points in your comments. Made me think.
for the first time voting your comment!! 😛
I must also agree that I have been very impressed with this term and look forward to the next one....
o.O

Worse things than being thus far efficient (smile). But you aren't very FUNNY (Grrrrrr!). I usually vote for the most entertaining bastard to run, if one is present. Cuz I'm here to be entertained and laugh as often as I can!
But voted your article, good communication, efficient leadership.
200 voters bought for this crap!!!
there is three time more, at least, that would support this article.
so, try to keep your voice for yourself. that is to say: only one thinks this is crap!!
This is crap, only for crap you need to buy voters.
And again: voters bought for this crap to stay in the top 5.
blahblahbllllaaahhhh
yeah, i figured all you can do is blabber-
as per talking, and arguing, you are far from that!!
voted.
on thing Oblige, do not post your government achievements, there is many scavengers here that want to copy you!! 😉
xD
I want to see Canada, USA and Mexico form the "Western Trident". What is that, you ask? A potentially unbreakable bond that would make anyone think twice before trying to gangbang a country in this part of the eWorld again. I've noticed us running mostly with Mexico, leaving Canada to get slaughtered by Spain. Yeah, this has changed recently. Canada is getting stronger, especially as we support them more. IMO, the best thing to do is seal the deal so we can defend North America and push harder on our TWO enemies.
That includes making Spain cry.
Cheers. ❤
I'm not able to evaluate the reasons for the turnaround on the battlefields. May be that TWO is disorganized, bored or whatever. Fact is, the turnaround came with you and your team, therefore my known motto is: "Never change a winning team!".
NO, I do not love my government..
How can we make that better? 🙂
