How We Will be Great Again

Day 2,058, 17:29 • Published in USA USA • by Israel Stevens


As I announced a few days ago, I have applied to the position of Party President of the American Military Party.

This is not something that I take lightly, and I am not seeking to pad my resume. It is long enough as it is. Turning this party around is something that is important to me, and while I may not have my entire plan worked out just yet there are some specific problems that I want to see addressed.

I would also like to add, that posting a cabinet isn’t important to me. You shouldn’t be voting for who will be running the party, you should be voting for how they will be running the party.

Party Activity
As has been noted elsewhere, the AMP does not suffer from a lack of an active leadership. But anyone that has stopped by #AMP on IRC, has surely noted the sheer amount of crickets. It is a dead IRC channel.

One of the ways that I aim to correct this, is to push more of the friendly banter found in our leadership channels, out into the public eye. There is nothing secretive about saying hello to each other, and no reason that sort of conversation can’t be held in our public channel. It can be incredibly daunting as a new player to sit in an IRC room and have no one talk. Even when you have questions, or need help. A room that is full of people chatting about anything will do wonders for our ability to retain new citizens who want to start their political careers with us.

It is vital that we change the mentality of the party. This can’t be something that dies after I leave. It must be ingrained upon any and all who wish to lead us.


In that same vein, is forum activity.

Anyone that has stopped by the AMP Forums have noted that it is no exaggeration to say that there are 10 active users. For the July Country President Primary we had 11 votes. That is unacceptable to me, and it should be unacceptable to anyone that cares about the party.

I will do everything in my power to make our forums a place where everything from intelligent discussions, polls and forum games can be found. If a player needs help traversing the complexities of eRepublik, they will be able to find help on our forums. If a new player wants opinions on something away from the caustic environment of the eUS Forums, then they will have that place as well.

My staff and I will work hard to turn around the image and activity of our forums.

There will be significantly more votes in our next PotUS Primary. I promise.


Legal Councils vs Recruitment & Retention

I mentioned in my first article, how the party leadership continues to work on ideas like a Legal Council. My chief competitor even lists it first in his article.


Creating a Legal Council, and continuously tweaking our constitution is the most absurd thing we could possibly doing at a time like this. It is nothing short of a massive political party circlejerk.

It accomplishes nothing. The other parties literally laugh at us for it. We need a massive recruiting push, not tweaking internal policies.

Under my leadership, every single new American citizen will receive a message from the AMP. This is the largest part of my recruitment strategy, but it is not the entirety. AMP Media, as well as other targeted recruiting will also be taking place.
I have a long history of training the next set of AMP leaders, and this month will be no different. AMP Party Presidents Cleveland Fleman, John Killah, Jack Mensely and potato134 all got their start from me. The next generation of leaders will also be getting their start under me.

The recruitment, retention and education of members is our single most important job as a party. And I will make it a top priority.


There will be more to the rebuilding of our party. Activity and recruitment do not make for a powerful, nationally recognized party. But these are the first steps, and in many ways they are the most important steps.

We will be great again. And this is how we are going to start.

I do not have my team finalized. And I know that I cannot do this alone. If you want to join me in rebuilding this party, then send me a message and tell me you want to help.
