[Swiss CP] Running The Race
Thedillpickl
Hi kids!
Click image for the music.
So... anyhow I wish to take this opportunity to thank Alexandre Walen for doing a superb job in October. He did what he said he would do. I said if he could do this I would eat my words. :chomp: Consider them eaten. For some reason the apology was neglected on a government IGM so I have started this article off with the repeat.
I do have some complaints about the way things were handled and we are currently not working together. This is a shame because I really wanted his help if I am elected Swiss CP. Enough about the negative, this article is about the positive.
My Platform
I have one priority, to hold Swiss regions with out constant RW's for as long as possible. The constant win-lose-win-lose is not only discouraging it is damn costly and that for both us and Slovenia. I have been talking to some people in Slovenia. It is possible to have a dialog. I would want the position of CP so that the discussion can begin in earnest. It is possible to have a long lasting NAP and two of our original regions. I did not believe a lasting peace was possible but now I am hopeful.
Secondary priorities would be to develop a food/weapon give-a-way to help the new player. I would like the MoD to continue much as this has been done in the past. The retention of our noobs is vital for the growth of Switzerland. Also I am told there is a website for the education that is being finished now. I would expect MoE to take the lead here. I would not be overseeing these personally but would want good people on this, working together where possible.
Third priority would be CoT. What, when and how can we help our allies gain their regions back. Coordination and communication will be important. We may not be the biggest bear in the woods but that should not prevent us from working to make our alliance better. I was hoping Walen would be our spokesman, but if not I would look to someone with CoT experience along with integrated communication with the MoD. I would be keeping my ear to the wall to see how this goes.
Finally, I would say anyone who wants to work in Foreign Affairs will be greatly used and appreciated. I would ask for a MoFA that would step up and take charge. MoFA and Ambassadors can be a tricky job but also fun and rewarding.

Help Wanted
There will not be any frivolous jobs in my cabinet. Nor will there be any favorites. I want ANYONE that is willing to work for a better Switzerland to step up. I don't care if you've played the game 5 years or 5 days, if you would help I want you. Please fill out this form even if I've already spoken with you. It will only take a few seconds. Name, profile link, ministry preferences and a comment box, that's it.
FYI, Trogdor and Jason Welsh will be taking the lead on MoFA and CoT and Shaun Carter is in charge of the money.

At least you don't lie. Good luck
I try to make that a habit. 🙂
Good luck to you also.
That's really awesome that you are acknowledging Walen for a job well done.
I think he has done great.
The both of you should come to an agreement. If you win, he is your VP and if he wins you are his VP.
good luck my sweet little gherkin.
I didn't want to muck up the article with explanations. In case you are unaware ( 😮 ) Chariots of Fire is about two runners who have different objectives and also very different obstacles to overcome. Both end up winning an Olympic gold medal. (It's a great movie, I suggest you watch it.) Thought it was kind of fitting considering the situation. :/
Gl bro.
If we both win ya wanna do a sleep over at my place? I got a line on some hot Swiss chicks, German beer and some Danish novelties I picked up in Copenhagen. Evidently you put these pellets of green pasty stuff in this bowl at the end of a long glass tube. I have no idea but the guy at the store said it was fun. 😃
Lol, like either of us will be sleeping if we win.
Good luck o7
Best of luck

Every time I see the "Hi kids!" opening I complete it with "Hi kids, do you like violence? Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails through each one of my eyelids". Sorry my childhood was ruined by slim shady.
I just fell in love with you Johnny 🙂 Eminem is my hero lol.
Yay! More plus points for me 😃
Slovenia NEVER respected any agreement, speaking with them will lead to nothing.
Yes, and if man were meant to fly god would have given him wings. BTW do not sail too far from the coast you will fall off the flat earth.
Other snide remarks are available in the lobby after the show for a nominal price
God created Man => Man created Red Bull => Red Bull gives you wings. Ergo, God gave Man wings!
Who can argue with logic?
~pickle flaps arms and flies away~
I had to take a logic class in undergrad. What a ridiculous class that left me more confused than when I started! Logic is not logical lol.
Rejecting Slovenia completely would be the biggest diplomatic error we could make.
This is definitly a wargame where big powers do what they want, look at the current Romanian-Iran conflict.
And look to the USA vs TWO, Canada vs Spain to prove diplomacy is a viable option
