[UKRP] Issue #2 - Elections!

Day 1,992, 06:19 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by LongShotzZ


Here We Go Again:

Welcome to the second UKRP article written by myself, LongShotzZ. Today’s article I will be going over the Country President elections, the Party President elections, a bit more on recruitment as well as an idea that Sir Rex has had in regards to party games/events! Before I get going I’d like to remind you that this article is fully approved by Sir Rex, the current Party President, as is every article I write using the [UKRP] tag.



The Country President Elections:

As many of you may know our party, UKRP, is supporting Ayame Crocodile in the CP elections. To decide upon who we support each month we hold a poll on the eUK forums, this time round we managed to achieve a new record for the number of voters so well done to everyone for getting players more involved with the forums! Our election results clearly indicated that Ayame Crocodile was the player whom we would support as he managed to snag 75% of the votes, for those who are interested here is a full list of the results:

Ayame Crocodile - 21 Votes - 75%
Betafoxtrot - 0 Votes - 0%
Kdogground2 - 1 Vote - 4%
Lord Ryan of Britannia - 0 Votes - 0%
Sir Humphrey Appleby - 5 Votes - 18%
None of the above (NoTA) - 1 Vote - 4%

Overall a total 0f 28 votes, this smashed the previous record of 22 votes! Commiserations to all of the candidates who didn’t win and good luck to Ayame Crocodile in the elections tomorrow!



The Party President Elections:

I know that some of you may be wondering as to why I am mentioning the Party President elections when the Country President elections haven’t even been and gone yet but they are still only 10 days away. As we have done in previous months, I decided to put up a PP intent thread in the UKRP forum section so we can get all of the candidates sorted out and start asking them questions etc. So far the two candidates that have put their names forward are myself, LongShotzZ, and former-PP Cygnus X1, I will link the thread down below so that anyone who wishes to put their name down may do so. Keep an eye out for manifesto’s over the next week and a half and listen out for any debates that may be occurring as well as any Q&A sessions. Good luck to all candidates!



UKRP Family Feu😛

Sir Rex has decided that it is about time that UKRP had an internal party game and this is his latest idea! The game is virtually the same as the TV show version apart from the questions being eRepublik related as opposed to general knowledge. This idea is still going through the development phase but has made a lot of progress and should hopefully be ready to start soon! For any extra information there will be a link to the forum post below.



Time To Recruit:

Hey there eUK member! Are you seeking a party that is focused around community and offers new players chances to prove their worth and become the next influential politician? Then join UKRP today, because we’re here for YOU! Our party currently sits at over 100 members and that makes us the 3rd largest political party in the country at this time, however, we hope to get to the number one spot again and we need YOU! Whether you’re a highly active player or just a two-clicker looking for some light political action we’ll help you on your path to success! So if you’re interested in joining UKRP then just drop one of members a message by or you can find a few people usually hanging around on our IRC channel, #ukrp, or the eUK forums! And remember, we’re here for YOU!

Right, that’s the recruitment section over and done with, expect that to be a recurring feature throughout these articles!

Today’s article has been a rather long one however there was a lot that needed to be discussed, stay tuned for my next article which should be out early next week! That’s all from me today!

Yours sincerely,
LongShotzZ
Sec. Gen. of UKRP
