Malarkey83 for USWP PP

Day 2,668, 09:23 Published in USA USA by Malarkey83

In case you haven't been on the USWP forums the past day or so, you would see I've decided to throw my hat into the ring and run for USWP Party President. You might be thinking, "Malarkey, in your last article didn't you announce your retirement from erep offices?" Well, yes I did but I also realize that things have changed a great deal in game and I'd like to use my knowledge and experience to help this party.

I'm relatively new to the party so some of you may not know me and what my career has looked like in eRepublik:

Government:

Retired IES Director (7x)
Former IES Deputy and Agent
4x Congressman from the AMPs
3x Congressman from the Feds
Former OMS Director (3x)
Former DoI Staff Writer (6x)
Former DHS Deputy Director (3x)

AMP Party:

Party President (3x)
Former Education Director (3x)
Former Retention Director
Former Security Deputy

Fed Party:

Party President
Former FBI Director (8x)
Former Media Director (4x)
Former Political Deputy Director

If my RL work has taught me anything, in order to be an effective manager, you have to motivate and educate. It's also taught me you have to lead by example. I'll be embarking on some ideas/programs to help shape this party in a better light and I'll be working alongside my Directors to ensure we're doing everything we can.

I'll be working with Recruiting to help educate and mentor our new members to give them any leg up they need. I'll be working with Retention to create an environment where forum/in game feeds/irc aren't stagnant. Encouraging people to take advantage of community resources can enable players to stay around longer. Rather than having a recruiting program where new players are welcomed and subsequently thrown to the wolves for learning/assistance, I plan to have Recruitment and Retention work in conjunction to improve the job we do. Media of course will be a major factor as I will seek to publish party updates while also promoting USWP member media. Finally, I plan to work on our inter-party relations. No offense to the party, but we're not exactly looked at kindly and I wish to make efforts to change that.

I'm sure you're wondering now what my cabinet looks like...so here you go:

Recruitment: TellUrGrlThx
Retention: Gnilraps
Retention Deputy: WhyDoIBother
Media: Malpazar

I have openings in other areas and would love to have your support. If interested in helping the party, please contact me here in game. In the mean time, Chive on USWP!
