Join the new world

Yo7 citizens of the UK and whoever else is daft enough to be caught reading this. I’ve had this on my mind for a few days so I’ve poured myself a glass of whisky (for those of you who care, Lasanta from Glenmorangie is tonight's choice) and sat down to hammer it out before I head to bed.

Y'see, the big problem is I've only got one of these nailed on the head really and that's the wealthy part, and even then that's only in erep! I've been the sort of person who shares way too much on here in the past, you've all seen pictures of me killing a dress, a bunch of you have sneaked onto my Facebook, Skype and Steam pages.... heck, I've even had drinks with some of you (P.S. mwcerberus I intend to add you to that list, I know a place that does 2 for 1 desserts on Grosvenor Street). What I've never got round to sharing is being a tad shade ill, nothing life threatening or worth complaining about seeing as it's generally episodic but as it's a mental disorder it plays havoc quite considerably with my behaviour, my schedule due to shifted sleep patterns and the like. Because of this I'm not really effective as I could be, prior to the summer holidays I was in a very good place and think I was pretty decent in the Governments who involved me. As went to my boring adult job during the summer, erep took a backseat and though I've tried to get back into it since moving back to University, it's been a bit of a flop. My vCP term with Wook was ruined by TalkTalk being a terrible ISP and these last two MoF terms have been a couple parsecs short of stellar. Fortunately, thanks to people like the excellent Dr Kawiwiwiw...wiwi...wiwshishi(?) who today sat down and chased up all the training ground loans from previous terms up for me, we've yet to lose all our money.

So with that, I just want to state now that I don't want to carry on doing MoF in January, I've got exams and after missing an incredible amount of lectures due to aforementioned health issues, I've got a bit of work cut out for me. What I'm looking for are people who want to get involved in the Ministry, across all of 2013 the position has been manned by Carlini, Emergy or myself except for the one month with BoatsAndHoes. We know how that went....

Here's a cat to break the wall of text
We have two excellent, trustworthy people ready to take over this that Presidential Candidates should be looking at, in Elvis Trout and Count Drakula. ET has been shadowing the Ministry for months, could lay you down a pretty sweet Presidential theme tune and Count Drakula who has got involved less recently but has been custodian of a significant amount of UK money for quite a while. This is great as we have two clear successors to a role which out of necessity doesn't change hands too often. But we should definitely have more interest, no offence to my fellow ministers but there is a steady stream of replacements (albeit of varying effectiveness, it takes a lot to match Max Blue and FragUK for MoD skillz) if over a couple months more established players fell away from the position due to burning out or RL issues.

You don't need to be an expert in economics (I spend my time looking at molecules, quantum physics and steel beams, not stock prices and I've got no clue what Keynesian means) or any fluff like that, the economic module in erep is severely underdeveloped and using basic logic you can figure most patterns out. With ultra basic gdocs skills and enough time (it's certainly handy to be the kind of person that can check erep at least once every two hours) anyone can do this job and it offers more rewards as, unlike other ministries such as Home Affairs, the amount of money we have can be seen to go up or down giving you a tangible result at the end of your tenure. The only barrier of course is trust, you're in the second most trusted position in the country with a link to all the passwords in your bookmarks and very few checks to make sure you're not legging it with a retirement fund. So if it interests you, make yourself known, force your way into a few cabinets, start a chat with the current minister, get a better look at what goes on than this whisky fuelled ramble, heck source some money and prove you can make more from it if you really want people to listen. If anybody can come to me with a plan to make money then I'll fund you myself and see what happens and I'll guarantee I'm not the only idiot who will.

---

Butjam is too tired and ill to be useful, replace him with Elvis Trout and/or Count Drakula on the fifth and they will be gr9

---

Get involved with money, beg and borrow until you have some starting funds and then give it a shot

Don't write whilst drinking or you'll produce a steaming pile like this (Shoutout to our good friend Chaz)
Lots of love, Butjam xxx
