[GNIL4CP] Administration and Staff
Gnilraps
Time sure does fly when you’re keeping busy.
Over tha past few days I’ve been reaching out to people who I think belong in Federal Government positions. As I indicated in my last Campaign article, I’m looking to forge an Administration and Staff that is upbeat and positive. I have paid no heed to party affiliation in building a staff. None whatsoever.
Instead, I started conversations with people who met three criteria:
Concern for the Community
Availability, especially on Discord
Friendliness and Diplomacy
Obviously I also wanted to surround myself with people who had particular other good gifts and who are going to be capable of building a Government that is proactively supporting a growing community. People who are cynical about the game dying were excluded. When we build a government expecting the game to die, we will accelerate that death. When we build a government expecting the game to grow, we at least stand a chance.
So it is with high hopes that I share with you the White House Administration and Staff for March 2018 if you’ll elect me.
Serving as your Vice President, a real living citizen:
LifesaverM
The Vice Presidency is, as I explained to LifesaverM, carte blanche to develop some community-building initiative with the full weight of the Federal Government behind him. After a 30 minute chitchat, I knew I’d found a fantastic choice. This was not a political appointment, you should be just as excited to have LifesaverM as VP as you obviously already are to have me as CP.
Serving as our Chief of Staff, an experienced behind-the-scenes legen
😛
Blande
The great Blandino has some experience as CoS - the last time he did it was August of 2015. “August of 2015”... those three words should bring shivers to the spine of anyone who was around. Yes, folks, Blande managed the Staff for one of the worst Executives we’ve ever had in eUSA - BeachBunny. But Blande conducted himself quite well that month, and he has more than earned a shot at Chiefing a great Staff. He will.
Serving as our Minister of Foreign Affairs, a citizen who is not Wild Owl:
Carlos3000
Yes, I know that Carlos claims to have some other higher number after his name than 3000 but I like to round down. Maybe I’ll start calling him Carlos>3000, I don’t know. But among the players to emerge in the recent activity resurgence around here, Carlos3K exemplifies all of the qualities we need in a chief diplomat. I’ve made sure he’s got plenty of solid help learning the ropes. Get excited, eUSA, we finally have a new Secretary of State!!!
That said, I want to spend a few words honoring the great Wild Owl who has steered us with incredible acumen for a long time. I know WO isn’t going to be hard to find, and he’s going to be a very valued deputy under Carlos
Serving as our Secretary of Defense (wait, did he say defense?), yes, I am bringing back the Department of Defense, and I am bursting my buttons to announce that heading it will be none other than:
MaryamQ
MQ, as I like to call her, is to eRepublik what Barak Obama was to the United States of America. If you like Barak Obama that is. If you’re a Republican then she’s more of a George Bush senior. Loveable, capable, and able to navigate complex issues with aplomb. She is going to be awesome. Now for those of you who think we don’t need a Department of Defense, I simply ask you to stay tuned. We are massively rewiring the Defense Department in such a way that it will become a vital operation of the Federal Government. You’ll see. And you’ll thank me for snatching MQ to lead the charge.
Serving as our Secretary of Media, a man who likely needs no introduction but deserves one anyway:
just another George
George will be heading a staff of writers who’s jobs it will be to provide awesome content while George serves as lead editor. I’ve got a long history of wanting to see George succeed and an even longer history of failing to make it happen. This month will be different. Under my friend George, eUSA is going to enjoy solid Government Media all month long. I know it.
Serving as our Secretary of the Interior (yes, I’m bifurcating DoCA), is everyone’s favorite Santa:
Herr Vootsman
Since we will be examining all of our Interior programs this month and looking to find new ways to do what we already do better, it’s beneficial to have the expert on board. I haven’t had the time yet to really sit down with HV and fully understand everything he does, but what time I have spent with him convinced me that he cares about providing useful goods to the eUSA Community, so he belongs right where he already is, leading the Interior.
Serving as our first Secretary of Education in a LOONG time:
Professor Ilene Dover
Dr.D has a history serving fellow eRepublikans, particularly with respect to Education. And the good Doctor will certainly have a good bit of work to do. She will not simply be tasked with rehashing tired tutorials. The greatest concerns of our Education Department will be identifying the mistakes even experienced players are making, and working to improve everyone’s eUSA. We’ve got some super-creative ideas for making this work, and I know that Ilene Dover will soon become the greatest Education Czar since Blank Keating.
So that’s the team of leaders. But because I believe that expanding the Federal Government is part and parcel to enlivening this game we play, we’ve also greatly lowered the threshold by creating meaningful jobs and giving them to active players. If you’ve spent any time ingame lately, you should recognize each of our Deputies as players who fit the principles I laid out at the top of this article. They have concern for the community, are easily available, and are friendly and diplomatic in their dealings with others.
I’ll be introducing the deputies with our first WHPR, but here’s a short teaser:
Deputies:
Chris Stanwick
Centomax
Hoss1965
Tenente Lukas Santos
T Recks
Salty
David Wilson
emdoublegee
whydoIbothertoo
CrayolaButthole Jr
Celtic Knight
And more.
One quick note about the absence of BSP from the above lists. As I stated above, I did not consider party affiliation, I looked at the individuals who had volunteered, none of whom were BSP. If any from BSP are reading this, I welcome their application. I did reach out to several BSP members seeking their involvement, but received no reply. The door remains open. Sign up here

“August of 2015”... those three words should bring shivers to the spine of anyone who was around. Yes, folks, Blande managed the Staff for one of the worst Executives we’ve ever had in eUSA - BeachBunny.
Hilarious and true.
having trouble with publication tonight. it's cutting off the last 2/3 of my article.
odd. I had to piecemeal sections in. it would not publish the entire article all at once. Never had that happen before.
You mean "BeachBro" now.
most of us knew he was BeachBro then too
Well yeah, but a significant portion held out hope that he was a girl lol
Pretty sure I called catfish during the July 2015 campaign. Which upset quite a few people.
It did. We had a whole brigade of people calling him out for not coming on eNPR, for obvious reasons.
Sore loser & idiot!
I was just thinking we were due for a ValiantThor cameo.
In deed, a true idiot!
Can't wait to see you crying in March!
D A R K N E S S !
Eternal darkness!
Pretty sure everyone still kneeled before BB during July and August, didnt see anyone publicly calling her/him out until long after I found the actual person on fb that she/he took the pictures from.
It was indeed a poor month, but the months before were even worse under that guy whose name I forgot. Fired me from DoD for 'stealing his girl (B😎', then blamed an unexplained loss of CC on WO - after which we very quickly lost the war on FYROM. That man was the sole cause of it, by removing/insulting the only two people who organized CO's and international dmg support.

Raise the bar, lower the threshold.
I am personally extremely excited to see life back into Education as it was an area I became involved in from my 1st Day even before I joined a party in this eWorld nearly a decade ago.
Hold on to your bootstraps or maybe something more sturdy folks this rocket is taking off!
This has to be one of the most interesting cabinets in a very long time.
Definitly not the same old, same old.
Some good people, I think.
Nice.
I am delighted to see all of these names. I am also delighted that some I was expecting were absent. It's time to allow others, rather than the usual suspects, to take up the task of serving the public good.\
I applaud you all!
O.K. Perhaps I applaud a few a tad bit than others, but it's like being a parent, you must always express the idea that you love all your children equally. 😃
Endorsed for being a different look to normal.
Gnil seems genuine about change and reform folks. The man has a passion and energy that is positively infectious. 🙂
he seems alot nicer and more articulate as of late as well i love it
Gnil has always been a, if not the, great unifier in eUS. Check his political and military careers.
This is a great group of players, and I am excited to see what we can do together! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be part of it.
[removed]
Good to see this. I have hope this cabinet can bring the change that is needed hard.
Well done Gnilraps. o7
Good luck
Great lineup with a lot of newer names! Vote for Gnilraps!
Congratulations Gnil. this cabinet is something different. I guess the eUsa has a chance to be a more united community. Let us try and revive the game.
so 2% work tax ? 😃 😃
Gonna be a great month
The only interesting person on this list in Mary. Gnilraps until you can become a decent person who is not actively trashing me I refuse to support you.
Also just another george is trolling you
really? if you weren't so nasty all the time, you could take part in the fun I have given Gnil a rough draft of ...
I am like the nicest guy here. Go away troll, Gnilraps is your new owner.
This looks like a fantastic Cabinet!
Humbled for being chosen, excited about the opportunity, looking forward to a more active game.
Vote Gnilraps to raise the bar and lower the threshold.
If chicken hates you and this cabinet it must be good!!! Nice job here Gnil!
A negative disposition towards cg was a litmus test I failed to mention in the article.
So that is why you lack a secretary of gainz 🙁
Wow, nice.
This is great
For some reason all of your images have been broken for me for awhile.
I use forumotion's upload feature.
yes, I’m bifurcating DoCA Great good to see DoCA expanding i always love giving out supply's best job ever.
And the time you spent making pokemon cards for your cabinet got my vote 😉
Nice, especialy glad to see Carlos in the staff o7
You are too kind Red.
You deserve this mate o7
One has to wonder, what happened to Carlos3651 that required a new iteration?
I read once that you are here on this eWorld for three main reasons:
The first: to experience as many different things as possible and enjoy this game to the full.
The secon😛 to contribute, share, and leave a positive legacy behind.
The thir😛 to improve, evolve, grow and become the best version of your eSelf.
There were many iterations of Carlos, but Carlos3652 is that, today. 🙂
Full support.
I do believe I see a pinpoint of light in this. Heading for it now. Hope you guys live up to your promise. I have confidence you will.
excellent call on splitting Interior and Education back out. idk whose grand scheme (Orik) that was in the first place but good on you for fixing that snafu.
you've put together an impressive group of awesome people. I'm looking forward to seeing some folks have some fun finally! nice work, gnil
