[dCP] A few last words
•
by scottty the NUKE
G'day,
I just want to explain a little bit about being a Deputy Country President.
This role is not a hard job, no where near as stressful as being Country President. As the CP you are judged on the amount of work you and your cabinet does. If the CP slacks off he/she gets criticized very quickly and named a bad CP. As for dCP, you are never in the highlight. You can do little work or heaps of work and no one will take notice of you.
How I see the role of Deputy Country President is not to just run the joint when the Country President goes missing. But to be there for the CP, to be the adviser, to be the go to man for any decision the CP doesn't want to make alone.
Not a hard role, but I believe it to be one of the most important.
This is my 7th term serving as Deputy Prime Minister, and I have pretty much seen it all in eAustralia.
I was Deputy CP under Patti11 x 2, Corny Ratbag, Ranger Bob x 2, Tim_Holtz and for this term DraimAlexander. Everyday I was there for these guys, everyday I was always willing to lend a hand. But most importantly I also trusted everything onto these individuals. I followed their views and their orders.
That is what is expected.
My all time highlight of being Deputy CP would have to be Ranger's term back a few months ago. Ranger, his cabinet and I spent ours on IRC coordinating attacks daily against Chile. Ranger and I kept in contact via text message to update each other on battles we were watching. We even beat Chile back in NE battles! An amazing milestone to say the least.
This happened because Ranger and I united eAustralia. United us for one purpose, one goal. To kick Chile's Ass!
Watching eAustralia be a whole team is a great feeling. Something I really enjoyed.
This term will have to be my second highlight, serving under Draim and the creation of NaN - I am honestly so glad to see this happening. Something that has been needed for some time! We're becoming united with other nations, that are in the same situation as us. I'm proud to say eAustralia is a member of our growing alliance NaN.
Hail NaN!
Hail Australia!
Hail South Africa!
Hail Cyprus!
Whoever becomes Country President tomorrow. If they keep continuing down the path of NaN and keep the members of the alliance active. Only great success will come from it.
I've finally reached God of War*** now. So time for me to rest up, for a later date. o7

^ Words spoken by someone who has never been dCP to Dis or Binda
jks but just saying some dCPs have obviously had it easier than others. Most of the time and depending on the administration's agenda and circumstances it can be a good role to play but in hard times it can fuq a future career to bits.
Piece of advice for future dCPs who want to be popular ahead of doing the hard yards no matter what: Don't serve a CP with am ambitious foreign policy agenda without knowing the people's temperature ahead of taking the job. If you're prepared for what comes of it, that works too. If not, wait to serve in quieter times. Many will raise it in future times when your CP wheel turns.

well done scottty!
dCP kicks ass. It's all cool access and involvement without the accountability. dCP is the perfect crime.
Unless ur CP goes to Montenegro, starts a 2 week drinking binge with a chick that can keep up.
Then you're screwed.
\o/ You've been a great dCP for me scottty and that's why I asked you to be there. You're right: It's a thankless job in a lot of ways and you're mostly just "around to give advice" but you're perfect for it. You're constantly around when needed, ready to give your thoughts to anyone in cabinet and to chip in whenever needed. Ready to give your opinion to me either publicly, in cabinet or privately by PM. You've been an invaluable resource and any aussie CP would be amiss if they didn't try to keep you around in some role.
You deserve a break, though I'm sure we'll find ways to not give you one 😉
ILY Scotty. You know that.
The best times in this game doing what I have done, has been with you mate.
🙂
