Join the new world

The American Express editor-in-chief Irule777 sat down with Mr. Hale26 today for an in-depth interview.

Question 1: So I've noticed you've been Party President of this great party, We the People, for a few months now. How has your overall experience been and how have you liked it?

Hale26: Well...when I was starting this whole thing, I thought it would be very easy. Just handle party drama and do the usual work I already did. Not too hard, right? Turns out party drama and leading the party was much harder than I thought xD. Nonetheless, my overall experience has been fabulous so far. WTP is a great place to be in, and the party is extremely supportive of most things. Great place to PP in.

Question 2: This is your second term as Party President, what do you plan to do differently from your firstand what are your plans for improvement in the party?

Hale26: Um...personally, IRC less and ignore party drama. That's always good, minus the former. As much as I like IRCing, it does waste time for PPing. I can IRC more after these terms are done ^_~ Continue step 2 of my mandate and, as explained in my PP article, adding some more fire to how things are done. To elaborate, this is the first real WTP cabinet drafted this year. Hence, there are still bugs in it. I'm straightening them out so we can achieve maximum results. While we have more than enough talent to staff the party (literally, I'm drowning in Talent half the time), positioning is key.



Then there was some interesting confessions.

Hale26: "Oh, but ofc, my dear interviewer. Did you not hear, I'm an elitist now. I need to exclude people indiscriminately (however you spell it) to keep my power base up."

Then I found out I hard a party job and never knew about it.

Hale26: "(No, Irule does have a job. Just you came after the first cabinet was drafted :3)"



Question 3: As the smallest top 5 party, any big recruitment plans coming up?

Hale26: Yes, there are. On top of streamlining our regular recruitment into a more...accessible, and trackable, format, we also have a decentralized plan for recruitment. This will involve getting "agents" and "publicists" to recruit for the party using articles and general recruitment PMs. They will compete against each other in their specific categories to do so. This plan was generally founded on the belief that, this is a game. So why not make work into competition? Plus, we have potato now. Our recruitment should go up by at least 100%

Question 4: In one word, what's your favorite thing about We the People?

Hale26: "Ponies." - That's for you, The Mike

Question 5: When did you join We the People, and what first made you join?

Hale26: I first joined WTP after 2 clicking for months in Civvies. I wrote war news at the time, and had much fun with that. However, when I joined WTP the first time around we were called the RLC. The RLC was a PTO party much like the AFA. So why did I join? To vote for Gnilraps in the ATO elections. After losing 1 round and then winning the next, the RLC became WTP. After this, Gnil's PP terms took effect. This was until John Jay announced he was running for PP. Once he won the PP ship, many of us got involved in the party, and through many trials, errors, articles and execution....we are here.



Then we got down to REAL Business

Question 6: We're hearing shocking rumours about your plans to take over the United States, run for President, and turn the nation into a giant pony ranch. Any comments on the suns density?

Hale26: Yes. The sun's density is too damn high. If elected, I'm going to blow it up. And then feed the star-bits to hungry children in my lair.

Question 7: Any truth to the rumours that Talostatic has been eaten by a massive she goblin?

Hale26: No, Mazzy cat has yet to eat Talos. She's mean like that.




Special Thanks to Hale26 for taking some time out of his horribly evil schedule to sit down with us. His newspaper: http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/the-stairway-272568/1
