Ladies and Gentleman,
We'll get right to it today, and start with the Military portion of what I'd like to do should I be deemed worthy of being CP this month.
Available Leadership, and Set-up
One of the primary challenges that I seem to find, month after month, especially as our population dwindles a bit is that the job of Minister is tedious (almost as much as MoD, or at least when it's run properly it can be), and very hard for one or two people to do. In a perfect world, the job requires availability to hand out weapons, give orders, and follow up with MUs to make sure we're coordinating. Battles can change multiple times throughout the day. We might not be the biggest source of damage, or the most active nation, but we can certainly try to coordinate our damage properly to hit in the correct battles for our country, and our allies.
To that end, I'd like to work on putting a Defence Council in place rather than a singular MoD, which should offer more coverage both on chat and for direction. 2 of the 3 confirmed are veterans of the Ministry, and are available quite a bit.
MU Coordination
With the introduction of private MUs a long time ago, the thought of a completely national army really isn't that feasible with game mechanics. A lot of players have invested heavily into running their MUs, and recruiting from it, and it would seem to be counterproductive to ask people to be a national army as well, it just doesn't work very well with game mechanics any more.
What we should be looking at, in my opinion, is perhaps one MU that is for high efficiency mobile damage that can be funded nationally, and then dividing the other MUs to the Defence Council and working on coordination for supply. It would relieve some of the cost to the people who run the MU, and promote coordinated damage to battles that needed it.
Air Battles
Our older tanks, the ones that are left, anyhow, are set in how they deal damage, but we should be training our people on air battles as that is one area that we really could do a fair amount of damage if we worked on it. I'd like to set aside some of the purse to training new citizens and MUs to coordinate for air battles, offer weapons, even try to organize a strike or two. With the introduction of air battles, we're already going to lag behind in overall tank damage because of our lower player base, but we can work on promoting air battles (and help our markets at the same time) by trying to develop new players.
A Summary
This term, what I would like to do is to try and re-develop some basic functionality, and promote some action. Whether that's working with Congress to try and get everyone involved, to working with our military and our allies, as well as our alliance to make this a little more exciting, I think the extra focus, and availability is important as we try to promote activity among our new players. As I've said before, right now we're essentially fighting over the same scraps each month, but if we're ever going to move forward, we need to work on finding a common ground.
Thanks for spending a bit of your time this month reading, and as always if you would like to be involved should I win, all you merely need to do is ask. I am sure there are jobs for anyone who desires.
Regards,
Dishmcds

I suspect this month, Mongress may well just cut it's nose off to spite it's face!
They'd better work fast then since 25% of BP and Lemon were just banned for multi's. 😉
Well there goes a nice chunk of tax money...
Whats with the two GlaDos accounts in UKRP?
As UKRP member I can speak with some certainty when I say this:
Nobody really has a fucking clue what's with that.
I'll take a stab at it.
He bought a new account while still accessing his old account. Seeing as GLaDos with a dot has been around the eUK for longer than 30 days. The time in which it takes for a account to die.
Either that or GLaDos and GLaDos with a dot are two different players...
I asked him why he wasn't using his old account the first time he logged in, frankly.
cuz it's shit?
I often wish I had taken up one of the many accounts I was offered back in the day. But it would be like wearing another mans underpants. It just feels wrong.
Maybe Dapper and co need to take a few lessons in how to successfully run farms.
I would question the real GlaDos spending money on this game at all, really. He wasn't ever a spending player before, although up to elections the old one has been dead (I'd been able to check since he's in my MU).
Maybe he was given the account. Butjam was given whatshisnames account, begins with S. You'll know who I'm on about. Smash or something. Can't remember it's been that long.
I'm sure one or the other will be banned at some point, unless he's managed to keep dealings between the two accounts to a minimum. It's a sad state of affairs when members of the community feel the need to use multis in such a shit game.
You reckon he's logged in to both today to vote for you?
I have no idea, although it's usually PM before he logs in at all given his time zone.

pls release cabinet so I know in advance what I'm doin with my PMs if you win

I hope you win!
Same old, same old,

You may want to apply that logic to your comments...
In what way do I expect a different result?
Given the same old platitudes, I expect the same results
Your worse then Appleby. No thanks if the UK has any sense it will pass up on this inactive
Says the guy in the party who just lost 30 accounts from Lemon/BP for multis. I believe you're not the one to be talking about being inactive. :3
Says the party that has 2x Glados accounts XD
You can have one of them banned for all it matters to me, really, although I'm sure you and Don are a bit sour losing 30 voting accounts the day before the election.
Dish4CP.
I am loving the attention. Not a multi. Not spending money. Not lifting a finger to do any work. Not able to access the dotless.
It's not dead, so someone has accessed it in the last 30 days.
Dish has an excellent record of service as CP
