Congrats Patti11+why i dont support h.nelson running+tips to be a good cp

Day 684, 23:24 • Published in Australia China • by srg91

If you guys were active on the media these few days, you would have seen my continuous comments and "trolling" on H.Nelson running for CP, under my party, Australian Independents.
Many of you guys would wonder why am I so against H.Nelson, or who is this guy.

First let me introduce myself for the new guys.
I am Srg91, and I have been in eAustralian Politics for about 6 month now. I have seen Patti11, Tim09, Aussie-Vegeta, Ranger Bob, Scotywest and lastly but not least, Melchizedek Smith (i can never spell his name 🙁 ) as CP

My serving record has been 2 time senator, Minister of Finance, Minister of Foreign Affair, Minister of Defense and Sol representative for 2 terms now.

This article will be used to compare H.Nelson to some of the previous CPs of eAustralia, if you look past the actual H.Nelson issue, you should be able to find a guide of how to become a CP.

There are 4 major reasons why I am against H.Nelson running-

Before I go into why I am against Nelson's run, lets have a look at how the CPs of the past.
All of the CP in the past served sometime as a Cabinet minister,
Patti11 served pretty much all the external roles, MoD, MoFA before moving onto CP.
Tim09 served sometime as Minister of Finance and was more of an economical CP
Aussie-Vegeta served as MoI for atleast 2 terms
Ranger Bob - 2* MoD and 1 time MoF
Scotywest - 3* MoI, MoD and MoFA
Mel - Served as deputy prime minister before stepping up after scotywest.
H.Nelson on the other hand has served 0 times in cabinet.

Reason 1:
Now what does all this mean? Many players have always wanted the CP medal in this game, they often think that its given to the "choosen" few. Whilst it is correct, the "choosen" few had to work harder to get into a position to obtain that CP medal. These players give up alot of time to make a country work better both internally and externally. Straight from my head, War games, Hospitals, monitoring the trading markets, government ran companies, alliance, international affairs and back in the days, liberating qld, SA and Tas talks with eIndo are the few that comes to my mind right now. (currently its the WA talks)

These roles are usually shared around in a Cabinet each term between a selected group of players. You will find that the majority of CPs actually give out a hand to other departments during their Cabinet time, thus have a greater overall knowledge of how every department works.
To simplify things, a CP's job is to make sure each cabinet does their job well. In order to do that, a CP must be familiar with a majority of the departments and how it should be operated. How to be familiar with the majority of the cabinets? You must serve in it. It is as simple or as complicated as that.

Moving onto reason 2:
Cabinet list:
A Cabinet list says a lot about a candidate, when I mean alot, I mean just about everything. Forget about a CP's Manefesto, it could be the eworld's best idea, but with an incompetent Cabinet, it is bound to fail.
The important thing behind a Cabinet list is the ratio of new players and veterans, as well as understanding the roles of every Cabinet minister.

I divide the cabinet into 2 sections: External and Internal

External means that these players touches more towards the international aspect of a country whilst internal means it touches on the internal aspect of a country

External are usually Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Defence, Deputy CP and CP.

Internal are usually Minister of Industry, Minister of Finance, Ministers of Cultural Service, Ministers of Information and Minister of Immigration, Customs and Security

When looking as an proposed cabinet, it is important to understand that ratio of new bloods and veterans is important. For example, if you have veterans in all the internal departments and new bloods in the external department, the CP should expect strong internal policies and weaker external policies.

Lets take a look at Patti's Cabinet, Mel's Cabinet and H. Nelson's Cabinet:
Before going into's Patti's or H.Nelson's Cabinet, My understand in that Mel is keeping his Cabinet and making little adjustments. This would make his Cabinet a stable cabinet whilst adding a few new bloods into the mix.

Patti11's Cabinet click here
aside from Gareth Irwin,
the rest of the cabinet full of coming up Veterans (eg Timeoin, DeanKong, Xavier Darkmyre, Remi (I love you) and Jonnathan Brown), Lord Rhidon (he served cabinet in ireland) and Chris Stanwick (he served cabinet in USA)
with myself Garven Dries, XG, Newt G, Vorodor and eGod (Zaney) as the Veterans of the team.
Oh and Patti himself (but he doesnt count 😛)

This is an Balanced Cabinet with new guys, experienced players and veterans, despite what many others players say, I think patti has done a wonderful job with selecting an interesting cabinet to work with.

Note: Lord Rhidon and Chris stanwick can arguely be new bloods to eAustralian cabinet

Now look at H.Nelson's Cabinet: Click Here
First of all, I cant even find the deputy CP, if eAustralians are to vote for you , I think they should know who your second man is and lets pray its not Australian Warlord. Also, wait? you have more then 1 dCP? Are you adding icey1174 into the mix as well? I hope not.

Now lets move onto the cabinet:
I can count only 2 coming up Veteran and thats Iwarrior1 and Listhp Tomptos (served in UK)
the rest are new bloods. No joke, it honestly appears to be a weak cabinet with no veterans to guide them. Seriously, if you dont like me H.Nelson, thats cool, but surely add Vorodor into the mix, or Mel, or Patti or I don't know, but there are alot of veterans and you need atleast one or two since you are a new blood yourself.

Like Chris stanwick and lord rhidon, Listhp Tomptos fits into the new blood into eAustralian cabinet
Reason 3: communication
Communication is an important aspect of the game. An unspoken rule of being in Cabinet is to be active and to be on IRC. Seriously, that chat program is a must for any successful CP. A lot of the veterans always use IRC to communicate information and if you wanna rise the ranks, IRC is literally the only way to go. CP and Cabinet are usually busy and we dont have the time to look for potentials, you need to come on IRC and stay there so we can get to know you on a more personal level.
All past CPs has been active on IRC each day, giving at least 3-5 hours a day on it just chatting to Cabinet and citizens alike.
I havnt seen H.Nelson on IRC at all. I dont know how his going to talk to eIndo players about WA region release but from experience IRC is literally the only way to go.
Another way to tell a player's activity is on the forums.
You can usually tell a player;s activity by the number of post they made.
Total Post count for all eAustralian users
Between Patti11, Mel and H.Nelson,
Patti has 950+ total post count (4+ posts a day)
Mel has 550+ Post count (4+ posts a day)
H.Nelson has 139 post count as of date. (2+ posts a day)
Activity? I think the 4+ post a day players win for sure 🙂

Last Reason: Concept of AI
The Australian Independants is not a Party. I am from AI and I do not agree with H.Nelson running. You will find that A LOT of the older/more experienced players from AI are against H.Nelson's run and with a vote of 7 against and 12 for, its can barely be called the super majority. He ignored all of the experienced players and ran under AI anyways. Turning us into a party. For the older players, StewartB version 2 is here

Thank you for your time
