Gnilraps Interview
Resoula

#1. You brought a very ambitious project into this term: FeMU. Did your project live up to your expectations? Was there anything you would have changed about it or done differently if you could re-launch it again?

I think our system is very good. Our infrastructure is improving. I think it has the potential to be a very popular thing. Once we take it to an international audience, you will see participation baloon.

The thing we have needed most, though, is someone besides me who is dedicated to the back end. It takes a lot of work to keep it going, and as CP/D, the time is not always there. If I had done it again, I’d have found someone to run it for me.

#2. Upon picking your cabinet you said something along the lines of every one of the staff you picked being persons that you want to see tested in their roles. You called all potential CP candidates. Did any impress you in their jobs? Did any make you wish you never hired them?

There were a couple I was expecting to impress me that didn’t. Jude Connors did an admirable job and I think he learned a lot about the job that will help him if he succeeds me.

Also, The DarkKnight Rises did an awesome job in his role. I really wouldn’t have gotten nearly as much sleep as I did in October if I hadn’t had him on the night watch. He’s ready for the big chair too, if he can convince the rest of eUSA to follow his policies.

The great surprise of the term was all the fun we had exhuming some old CP’s. I opened up the PDB room to just about every CP over the past few years. You can imagine the fun.

#3. You officially removed Dioism as the official religion of eUSA. One day all the small dioist children will look up to you and ask "Why? Why did you cast us out?". What will you tell them?

They are free to practice Dioism. Dioists have not been cast out of eUSA, I’ve just purged the halls of Government from close-minded, elitist, imperialist, Pakistani, racist, sand-based “religion”. America is free. I’d tell them that if their Government were allowed to dictate any religion, it might one day dictate to the Dioist that Dioism is verboten entirely. I would tell the children that there will be more candy and video games in a religion-free government.

#4. In your first 2 terms as CP you have been quoted as saying that the "G" in "Gnilraps" is silent. Yet on stream in this term you stated very clearly that your name is actually pronounced "Guh-nilraps". Which is it!? The masses are dying to know!

I confess that I utilize both pronunciations in my own use of my name. So I would prefer the mystery to continue.

#5. You did a splendid job continuing what Aramec started. Your media was strong with your creation of FeMU. You kept war raging and COs paying for those who were interested. Wild Owl and Jude Connors will both have a chance at succeeding you and hopefully they do just as good a job as you or better. Do you have any advice for them to help make their terms as exciting as yours?

First off, I don’t regard what I did as any kind of continuation of what Aramec started. I did inherit a rather expensive war from him that I had to buckle down and win (FYROM), but what I did as CP/D is what I do.

My advice to Wild Owl is to check under the White House rug. I left a little something there for him.

My advice to Jude Connors is to stay as far away from Yui as possible. He’ll know what I mean.

Let's take a look at what our allies are up to in today's edition of:

As Erepublik Turns

As we look the eWorld today, it is mostly quiet. Australia and South Africa are having some more fun. South Africa has won six battles in the current war and is about to attack. I've never, ever seen South Africa winning a campaign. I probably missed it, but excellent work none-the-less.



Russia is beating up on Norway. They have won five battles and are about to attack. Keep marching forward to victory comrades! France has attacked the United Kingdom and won the first three battles. The UK has now secured and is about to attack. I wonder who will, ultimately, gain the upper hand.

The eUSA is looking for an NE. Who will be the lucky target? It appears the next PotUS will get to decide. Want to vote like we did with Glove? HUEHUAHUEHUA...no but seriously, let's see how much fun we can have in the next month.

Until next time, keep it classy, and keep shakin that ASS, eMurica!
