KNOCK KNOCK! :3

Don’t make me barge down the door, just let me in … And that is clearly what greeling says to every guy before he kegs them and has his way with them! That is this articles “NEED MOAR GREELING” halfway met in my honest opinion 😃

First off, let me just say thank you for the response to my last article. It was interesting to read your opinions on the subject and I tried to respond to all the comments I found interesting. The problem isn’t as bad this month, but there’s still time to be proven wrong.

ON TO THE MEAT!



Clearly I have something wrong with my head

Remember this time last month? I was writing articles trying to win your votes to be AMP Party President again. Let’s just touch on that briefly since I didn’t write an article after the results.

Why didn’t I write one? Normally, I’ll be one of the first to concede defeat and move on. This time, I decided there was no need to write one and to try and apologise and wish Code luck, simply because I had no reason to apologise for losing, I knew Code would do ok, and in a way I didn’t lose.

The loss was slightly bitter, not because it was a loss, but because of the fact that only a couple of hours after the poll had closed, I learnt that I’d lost 3 votes to unfortunate means - 1 because they were simply late in getting on, 1 because they thought they had voted, and 1 was extremely busy IRL and couldn’t. To put it in perspective, I lost the primary by 1 vote. So to learn I was so close to a win, disappointing.

That being said, the margin was a double edged sword. I remember saying to Piggy Boot the previous day, that the result of the primary would be the end of my active running for Party President ever again. My reasoning at the time was if the party voted me, I would try to get what I wanted to get done in 2 terms, hand over the torch and stay in the background and let the newer blood run the party in the limelight. If they voted for Code, then it would be clear they didn’t want someone like me running the party any longer.

Piggy disagreed. Looking back, I do agree with what he said now. I will not try and make this seem like i’ve a huge ego or to make myself seem hugely important, but he was right - Regardless of whether I won or not, the party needs me. Not because i’m the be all, end all of the party, but because a party needs older experienced members to help guide and teach new people. AMP has them, but in terms of consistently active within the party leadership? Scarce nowadays. Nobody in the party can make the same claim of having been active nearly all the time since being in leadership for 2 years plus … Only person close would definitely be Israel, but he’ll agree his activity is spotty in the party … He’s more our National figure to rally behind.

Still, apparently i’m getting off on a tangent. I ramble a lot, I apologise xD



I’m backtracking on my word

So … I’m going to run again >_> … I am clearly a strange kind of person to keep coming back for more. I expect if I did this in reality, I’d get plenty of strange looks and people commenting about how stupid and/or crazy I am.

Why run after losing last month? The last part explained it. The tiny margin and knowing that I was so close because of those missed votes made me re-examine my logic at the time and realise that it was more an emotional response to an incomplete primary that I was losing by 4 at the moment I was speaking to Piggy.

I won’t lie - Not much will be changing from my platform last month. They’re still good ideas that haven’t been tried this month and it can never hurt to try them again. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. The Cabinet? That you never know, I’ll be taking a look and seeing if there is any need to change other than to shift a couple of people around to make room for new people to have a chance and for middle people to get that bit of experience they could do with to make step up to the next level.

I don’t need to explain my resume again. A word with anyone in leadership will yield results on what i’ve done, and if you really wanna know the entire story, there’s the wiki. It basically speaks for itself.



So there it is.


This month, while in some cases has been good, I’ve found lacking. I’ve done my best to keep people going and to keep the party beating and I think I’ve done a good job there as CoS. Now I’m asking for the chance (again) to take the step up and lead the party (Not with an iron fist … yet :3), in the bright future we all know it’s capable of.

Also, greeling is awesome. “NEEDS MOAR GREELING” quota met.

CIAO!


The man of Integri … who am I kidding, i’m just a joker really
