Become a Member
GPN is always looking for new members and invites anyone who wishes to join us. We have had much success because of the determination and new ideas brought up by our members young and old. Despite not being the top party we once again claimed the most votes in the last Congress elections and once again have placed a GPN President in the Netherlands.
Party Positions
We are still looking for a Vice President. If you think you are the right person for the job then please contact myself.
GPN Food Bank
GPN wants to help all new citizens through the difficult first days. Not by installing yet another government program but through a citizens initiative - a food bank handing out donations from older players who can spare some food and want to contribute. This will be open to all citizens of the eNL, but to make sure it sees the light of day, we will take on the challenge as a party to start it and work it out. You can apply via our private forums.http://www.enetherlands.nl/viewforum.php?f=253
GPN Adopt a Rookie Program
Getting to know and feeling part of the community is the key to a long eRep life. We have seen the results of the government Boost A Rookie program and want to see if we can take this to a more permanent level. Starting within our party, where we want to encourage and help 1:1 to achieve goals whether political, economical or military. Our Rookie Ambassador will oversee the program and will match up our younger players with more experienced players who will be there to guide them through their beginning stages in GPN and in Erepublik. If you would like to sign up either as a Rookie or a mentor please contact myself or apply on the private forums. http://www.enetherlands.nl/viewforum.php?f=253
Media Support Program
We have recently seen some promising new newspapers in the media. Also from new players who are trying to make an interesting read and share their ideas. This should be promoted and we will offer our support in this area to new members.

Party President
Hallo leden van GPN, dit is de nieuwste update van onze partij.
Partij Presidentsverkiezingen
Binnenkort kunnen we weer naar de ‘stembus’ om de Partij President te kiezen voor de volgende maand. Op dit moment zijn er drie kandidaten in de race. Kijk op onze partij pagina en vergeet niet te stemmen!
Word lid!
GPN is altijd op zoek naar nieuwe leden en nodigt iedereen uit die interesse heeft om bij de partij te komen. We hebben al veel succes geboekt dankzij de vastberadenheid en nieuwe ideeën van zowel jonge als oude spelers. Hoewel we niet de grootste partij zijn, hebben we weer de meeste stemmen gekregen in de laatste Congres verkiezingen en we mochten opnieuw een GPN landspresident leveren.
Partijfuncties
We zoeken nog steeds een Vice President. Als jij denkt dat je de juiste man of vrouw bent, neem dan graag contact met me op.
GPN Voedselbank
GPN heeft de wens om nieuwe burgers in ieder geval door de moeilijke eerste paar dagen te helpen. Niet door middel van het opzetten van nog een regeringsprogamma, maar door een burgerinitiatief - een voedselbank die donaties van oudere spelers, die hun bijdrage willen leveren met voedsel dat ze kunnen missen, kan uitdelen. Deze zal toegankelijk zijn voor alle burgers van eNL, maar om om te zorgen dat het van de grond komt, pakken we als partij de uitdaging op om het op te starten en verder uit te werken.http://www.enetherlands.nl/viewforum.php?f=253

Adopteer een Welp-programma
Kennis maken met en je plek vinden in de gemeenschap is de basis voor een lang eRep leven. We hebben de resultaten gezien van de "Boost A Rookie contest" van de regering en willen kijken of we dit naar een permanent level kunnen tillen. Beginnend in onze eigen partij, waar we spelers zullen aanmoedigen en 1:1 helpen om hun doelen te bereiken; politiek, economisch of militair. Onze "Rookie Ambassador" zal het programma overzien en leiden om nieuwere spelers te koppelen aan onze veteranen, die hen zullen begeleiden bij hun eerste stappen in GPN en Erepublik. Als je je wilt aanmelden als rookie of als mentor, neem dan contact met mij op of reageer op ons partij forum.http://www.enetherlands.nl/viewforum.php?f=253

Media ondersteuning
In de afgelopen tijd zijn er aardig wat veelbelovende nieuwe kranten opgedoken in de media. Ook van nieuwe spelers, die de moeite doen interessant nieuws te brengen en hun ideeën willen delen. Dit moet gestimuleerd worden en wij willen als partij ook op dit gebied onze nieuwe leden ondersteunen.

Why not move your food bank to the public 'free stuff' forum.
Seem's a bit of a ploy to get members with it being exclusive.
@mssingno
Acually we just finished discussing that probably 10 minutes ago and decided that this would be the last little while with our GPN Food Bank. This was a bit of a trial run and if you look in the article it was officially launched in it was said we wanted it to be open to all people however we wanted to try it out as a trial run first as a party. http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-gpn-party-focus-2142814/1/20
Hope that clears it up, thanks for the concern.

Well just seems pointless doing it as a trial run when they're are already threads giving out food, and what is there to trial? people ask for food, you give it. Didn't really need to be tested.
It would be great to see an official GPN thread in the free stuff forum, i was hoping it would be used like that.
Looking forward to seeing it there o>
Voted! Great article! o7
@missingo
It was a month long trial run, and when this was published the free stuff section was not being used by anyone or we wouldn't of seen a need to make a Food Bank. I don't understand why you are making a fuss over older GPN members wanting to give out food to younger players. You are trying to distract attention away from the fact we are here to help younger players, which is truly all this program is meant for. As I said we want to merge this for all of the Netherlands so

I don't see any need to play politics over a program thats only meant to hand out food to younger players.
I'm not playing politics, this is a GPN party article 😛
All I'm saying is, if you want to help everyone it could have been a trial run via public medium. Bewbs 4 newbs has been running for months.
Im not attacking it, i think its great.
But I'm pretty sure if I&W started an exclusive supply programme everyone would jump on us.
In fact, remember when i mentioned the idea of supplies for only national unit members? I was crucified and my article was bullied out of the media.
Just make it public already!
It's not like there's a process you have to follow in creating a thread on the forum handing out food.
If the man wants to create a program to specifically target players into joining the party so be it. That is the benefit of being a member. If you don't like it find a way to combat it otherwise get over it.

Like I said we did a short trial run and we decided today shortly after this was posted to disband it in favour of collecting a list of all the names of people who would donate and then post that list on the forums. We always had intentions of making it national just like what was said in the article when it was launched.
Agreed we see a lot of initiative atm like the Free stuff section, but we all know how fast these things can run dry if no-one is really on top of it. That's the main idea behind it - keep it under the attention of both older and newer players more or less structurally.
Great initiative! o7
