experienced enough?
Willem Drees
Dear EDutch,
The question that often arises is as follows. Am I experienced enough for the role of president?
To answer this question it may be wise to look at three things.
1) When did I start the game.
2) What is my stake in the game.
3) And do I learn it myself or am I being trained and helped?
We will answer these questions one by one.
1) When did I start the game.
My birth year is 2016 after I came into contact with the game by Sulaiman Yussef and kordak in RL.
They have shown me the way in the game. Unfortunately it was true that after a while I was playing around the time of the Polish takeover of our country
therefore I did not really have a clear picture of how the game and I quickly got bored.
After Kordak asked me in RL if I wanted to play it again, I didn't hesitate for a second and from that moment on I came back into the game and since then I can say that I am enjoying myself very much with the game.
2) what is my stake in the game.
As mentioned last month, I try to publish an article almost every day about events or problems that our country encounters. However, I have to admit that I have been publishing a few fewer articles lately, this has to do with the fact that I simply had a writers block so I unfortunately did not know what I would write about.
So on a journalistic level I am very active in the game!
In addition, after losing the elections last month, I was asked to work as an advisor for the government. Because it is true that in the government of our country I have no to good experience, I thought this was a good opportunity to gain experience.
It is therefore also the case that after someone has returned after three years and immediately wants to take his responsibility as president and after he loses a learning path with the government in order to learn to understand the game, in my opinion it is certainly someone who has a clear sense of commitment for the country!
3) And do I learn it myself or am I being trained and helped?
Hereby I can answer briefly and easily no I don't do it alone.
I have to say that many different people help me differently to get a better understanding of the game and how it should be played.
First Weekstrom.
He sent me all the events after I left in more than 10 full emials! As a result, I am aware of what is going on in our country and what has happened in our past!
Secondly, the GPN party.
In the game where I used to be, it was clear to me that a lot had changed in the time that I had left and the time that I had now returned to the game.
Both politics where first the GPN was the largest party and in the game itself. The members of GPN helped me learn this change as quickly as possible.
And helped me with this both financially and politically.
as third Kordak.
Because I know him in RL, it is very easy for me to ask for things I didn't know. It is also true that he helped me a lot and still does that at times.
as last the members of the current government.
They have involved me throughout the international process and the land process, which gave me a good and clear picture of how things actually went in the country.
So it is also true that as a candidate I am not alone for myself, I stand for a collective of different players from different parties who all want the best for our country!
As michiel de ruyter said in the past. A captain is nothing without his crew!
But if we are still in the game of thronesambiance, I would like to remind you of the words of tywin lannister. A good king knows what he does and what he does not know and looks for advisors who help him with the things he does not know yet.

With my big edutch greetings,

Comments
I compliment you with your very good attitude. Indeed a lot of gaps in knowledge can be glossed over with good advisors, so that they don't affect your potential government's functioning.
However, I'm sure this article has been written in response to comments on your election program. Which as people have pointed out sort of shows you're not experienced enough yet...
So might I suggest to go over this election program with your advisors and post an updated version? This way we'll get a more realistic program, and we'll be able to see how your advisors can contribute in realising your vision.
Because, at least to me, the current version is not something that I would vote for, but rather would steer away from...
It is indeed true that not all of my points that I currently indicate are possible. In my view, however, these are points that we as a country have to work towards.
Just by releasing an article about your candidacy, you prove yourself to be more qualified than plenty of past candidates, who never bothered to write one, and assumed votes will be delivered automatically to them. I wish I had opponent like you, when I was elected...
However, to recommend, you should also release what your government will look like, not only your plans. You talk about the crew, but so far, the composition of that crew is unknown to the general public, which might make some people worried.
