1| Media Department Update
by: Scott Coyle, Sr.

Since we are having such a large FPR this week I have decided to divide it into twice in one week format. The next FPR ( Internal New Special ) will be out on Saturday. It will give everyone a chance to digest this weeks special and time for us to get the next one out with additional information from our various departments. Here is what you can expect with the next article ...

We are always looking for new pieces to add and if you feel you have something to share that will help make our next FPR better shoot me a message and I will be happy to review it with you. We love our members adding to offerings and it makes not only myself but the entire leadership simply ...

2| WookyJack Exit Interview
by: Scott Coyle, Sr.

SC - Thanks for taking the time to talk with me. You and I have been friends since I returned to the game and I have honestly become a WookyJack follower ever since. You recently spent two terms as Federalist Party President and I want to start off by seeing if there is anyone you want to thank during your term?

Federalists,

It has been a pleasure serving the party these last couple months. I have learned a great deal about the game that I never knew existed in Meta and how important and taskful a position like the Party Presidency can be. Plato should really give medals to Party Presidents. Its the least he could do.

Thank you to my staff for a great two months. Without them I would have failed. The men and women who made this all possible never see the limelight...but they deserve my gratitude. ilu u gais.

SC - What do you feel you accomplished during your two terms?

Oh man, where do I start?

We elected the 2nd and 3rd most Congress members for the Federalists this year during my two terms as Party President.  
We elected Molly Emma as Speaker of House for 2 consecutive terms.
Apollo and I decided before I was elected that Tyler Bubblar needs our support and we would work our hardest to get him elected to Country President.  This happened twice.
Our overall party membership went from about 352 to 375.  SHIELD membership went from about 149 to 180.
Ahhh there is more...I’m forgetting…

Oh!  We instituted a Public Briefing.  The Federalist Leadership has a briefing area in which the Party President collaborates with all leadership of his cabinet.  In an effort to try and include our Federalist community we created a Public Briefing board.

_{This new area is so that Feds can become more active members within their party. Here a daily briefing will be held for the party so that members can become involved in the day to day operations. A post with the days date will be opened where any Federalist member can put their thought and insight into making this party even greater.}

We created a Fed Radio board to document and let our members listen to the broadcasts later.

Also we worked together to come up with a more organized flow chart of our departments so that future Party President’s can use it as a guideline.  I’m pretty sure all leadership approved this too.  So that was a huge win.


_{Provisional and Expected Leadership Roles and Structure}

Oh and some guy named Scott Coyle created fedph.us and a billion awesome images that make our site as hard as an icicle in a snowstorm.  I was so P/H!

SC - Wow I knew we had done a lot but I never put it all to paper, to me it’s all become standard lol. Thanks for the appreciation. So now the tough topic, if there was anything you would have done differently what if anything would it have been?

Yes, you deserve the praise man.  You were a great Chief of Staff and I hope you take over the Feds one day.  Yes, we did a lot of behind the scenes stuff that greased the gears and kept us running smoothly.  If I didn’t have the awesome supporting roles around me that I did I would have failed.  There is no doubt in my mind that my team paved the way furthering our greatness.

I should have shown more love to the Political Department.  Congress School died when I took over and I didn’t try to revive that.  Its a great idea, but the lack of activity bombed it.  It was difficult enough to get activity spurring in regular Congress so honestly I was not surprised it fell by the wayside.  Overall, I am very happy with the performance of our Party the last two months.  I am extremely proud of our members.

SC - Thanks once again, I am only here because you showed me why being P/H is so important plus once I got here everyone made me what to do more because honestly where else can you get this much support. Well this is kind of funny since we are halfway into Trekker’s term but is there anything you would suggest to future Federalist Party Presidents?

Don’t fuck it up!

SC - Thanks for that advice, I know it will help those in the future. Well we have come to the end is there anything else you wanted to share with our fellow members?

Don’t stay in your shell if you are not sure how to meta game.  Awesome players are born that way by joining in and speaking up.

SC - Since you ended your last term we all expected what came and that was you returning to the Commanding Officer position of SHIELD. Is there anything SHIELD wise you wish to share?

For their hard work, dedication and unwavering support of SHIELD Military Unit I am promoting three individuals.

Kevin Sheridan, for your love of our HAMMERS, and support of international programs as well, I am promoting you to 2nd in Command of SHIELD.


Ace Viper, for your consistent and flawless work ensuring our fighters get their orders and supplies week after week, I am promoting you to Colonel (Silver Eagle).


Slybabymichele, for you initiative and unwavering support of the military unit I am promoting you to Captain.



SC - Thanks for the time you have spent with me today. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for SHIELD in the near future.

3.a| Dave Gulya Interview
by: Scott Coyle, Sr.

SC - Thank's for taking the time to talk with me and the readers about your campaign this week. My first question is one everyone wants to know, What made you want to run for CP this month?

DG - Thank you for having me. And thank you to your readers for reading this. So, I feel that there is a unique opportunity to build on the great work that has been done over the last few Administrations. President Bubblar has done an excellent job of weeding out those that haven't been active and replacing them with some new and fresh talent.

SC - So you told me about your cabinet and is there any word on when you'll have the official article out announcing your cabinet?

DG - I am planning on a cycle of releasing an article every 2-3 days. When the Cabinet gets released is still in the works.

SC - Understandable Dave, is there anything you wish to focus on in the coming month if elected to CP?

DG - I want the citizens of this Country, who are interested in getting into public service, to get that opportunity. An opportunity that may not be available because they don't have a flashy resume. I want to strengthen our Domestic Departments and reach out to help build up Pacifica. I want the eUS to be a great ally.

SC - Nice that seems like a good plan, with this being so early into the race is there isn't much to discuss so I will leave you with one final question for this week. Is there anything you would like to say to our readers about the upcoming election and / or your campaign?

DG - I would like everyone to remember that although I may not be as experienced as some, I will be surrounding myself with talented individuals and eUSA's best and brightest. The people on my team are the eUSA's future.

SC -  Well I appreciate your time and I can't wait to see your future articles. Thanks again for your time.

DG - Thank you and God Bless America

by: Scott Coyle, Sr.

SC - Thank's for taking the time to talk with me and the readers about your campaign this week. My first question is one everyone wants to know, What made you want to run for CP this month?

OW -  I've actually been planning on running for CP again for quite some time now. Originally the plan was to run in October, but after talking with Tyler he stated that he thought he wanted to do a second term, and quite frankly I'm rather pleased with his results. That delayed my plan a little, so November it is.

If you're looking for a more over arching purpose - the reason I play eRep is to run for CP basically. I enjoy thegame because I get to build things, and being CP means you have the best tools, so to speak.
plan a little, so November it is.

SC - So when do you plan to announce your cabinet?

OW -  I will probably release my cabinet over multiple days.

SC - Understandable and can't wait, is there anything you wish to focus on in the coming month if elected to CP?

OW - I will probably release my cabinet over multiple days ... my next article will be about my general plans ... which will be released today or tomorrow ... cabinet will start rolling out on Thursday I think ... but again, expect multiple articles. I'm also going to place a lot of focus on the domestic side of things, media, interior and education. We have a few fresh faces in some of those departments.

Interested in helping build the future of our country? Apply here with the Oblige Cabinet App.

SC - I love the enthusiasm, with this being so early into the race is there isn't much to discuss so I will leave you with one final question for this week. Is there anything you would like to say to our readers about the upcoming election and / or your campaign?

OW -  What I'd like to say to all the voters is that I hope I can provide them with an interesting CP race. Educated voters are the best voters and if they take the time to read even one of my articles, forum threads, or personal messages I will have succeeded in my mission. I am the most qualified and experienced candidate to lead our great nation going forward, so vote Oblige - this whale won't fail!

SC - Nicely played with that one Oblige, that's why your the wise experienced whale you are today. Thanks again for taking the time to do this today.

OW - You are welcome and THANK YOU for the chance to do the interview.


4| HAMMER Hightlight ( Ace Viper )
by Ace Viper

Hi my name is Ace Viper and I’m new to eRepublik, but not new in traditional sense. I found this eworld a couple of years ago... no,no not as Ace a guy who was born an eUS citizen. Unfortunately SHIELD wasn’t around then. I didn't find a program like HAMMER . As a newb I didn’t know anything about the life in this newer version. That poor man went to the battlefield without any experience or strength and killed himself .
I don't blame the guy I was before, he had no guide in the eworld. No one told him he needed to build his strength to fight, he needed strength to be an effective soldier .
After getting injured in the field he came to the realization that he couldn't fight and turned to the training grounds. Yeah, there were Weight rooms , Climbing centers… he was training hard and only gaining 5 strength a day.. that poor man had no idea how to earn gold. In the end he was disatisfied with his elife and ran away.

Fast forward a couple of years and Ace Viper was born a new citizen in the eworld. He hasn't made the same mistakes, because he has SHEILD for protection and is learning to be an effective agent of SHIELD.
There's a great program called Hammer for him to gain strength and guide him.

Now I am a two click player. Since I joined HAMMER. I am upgrading my training grounds with the help of HAMMER and fellow Feds and Shield members. As everyone knows high in strength low in level is the key in the new world. So my current level is 22 with 1840 XP and 706 in strength. I have a long way to go . But i need help from you to make it quick . I want serve this country and SHIELD as quick as i can . So my current training facilities
Q3 - Weight Room
Q1 - Climbing Center
Q1 - Shooting Rang
Q1 - SFC .
I think most of you know about me now ..
Recently  i have appointed as the Caption in SHIELD Regiment 6 and currently Cadet-Sergeant in HAMMER
In the party , I’m working as FedEX staffer , Fed Recruitment staffer and also as SHIELD QM
I was elected to October Congress and looking forward to doing my job there and learning .
I think I have done a fair amount of work for SHIELD and FEDs .. So I hope I will get some help from you.
My current gold balance is 30 and I need 90 more gold for Q4 WR .. I hoping that i can make it before the next Discount if I can get help.
Thank you
