HERE WE ARE PEOPLE … This is gong to be a two-fold article. The End of Term Article, and the New Term Article … ALL IN ONE! What can I say, we do things differently here :3

First of all, thank you for voting me in for a 6th Term. This is a huge moment for me, I can’t even begin to describe how proud I am that the party still has faith in me after a career in this party spanning 3 years! You guy’s ROCK!



End of the last term

So, with today, it is the last day of the term. A look back shows a mixed picture … We’ve done some good things -

- AMP Radio has been a better success than I could of hoped. We DID have problems with the Twitch Stream last night for the final show … I take responsibility for that, there were issues I’d overlooked before the the start of the show. We started off strongly enough, but we petered out pretty pathetically. Lesson’s learnt, and the next time we stream, It will be much better!
- The Weekly Newsletters were fun! Originally, I’d hoped that Leadership would contribute sections to it, but it would seem that none wanted to. Wasn’t going to stop me, so I did exactly what I did when I wrote the WHPR all that time ago: I did it on my own. Thank you to Greeling and ErrOrka for being ok with being involved in the competitions I had.
- Media from my office. It has been a VERY long time since the party has had a Party President who was as Media Intensive as I have been this month. Many have started out strongly, but slowly they’ve let it die out while they focused elsewhere. It isn’t always easy, I’ve said as much before, but sometimes, it’s worth it to dig deep.

We’ve also had some bad -

- We’ve had staff issues. It’s not easy finding people willing to do thankless jobs that you don’t get much from other than inside party thanks. Couple that with a game management that doesn’t really care much, it can be difficult enticing people to work. I’m eternally grateful for those that DO step up and work. We also lost a couple of people to RL, but that’s not their or our faults.
- Programs fell to the wayside. This is entirely my fault.

Looking back, it could have always been better, but it could also have been a lot worse. I think this term overall has been good, and I have high hopes for the next one.



The Start of Next Term!

So what do we have in store for the next term? -

- MOAR AMP RADIO! I wasn’t about to let that go :3 I’ve had a LOT of fun with that this term, it’s fun interacting with the audience and a much better format than I originally intended. The scheduling will be the same as this term: Weekly Shows on Saturday Night’s, with 3 on Mixlr, the final one being on Twitch (Which will be run a lot more smoothly this time).
EVEN MOAR NEWSLETTERS! While not hugely fun, I am still more than willing to keep putting in the time and effort to keep the party as informed as I can about what the leadership is doing. I will also tweak the competition rewards to be more Cash orientated for those who don’t always fight and may want the cash to do other things.
AN INCREASED FOCUS ON PROGRAMS! This will be mostly re-assigned to Departments instead of individuals to ensure that they are more under control and under greater scrutiny. The party and general US population deserves programs that are constantly monitored and kept up to date.




All for now

Once more, thank you for putting your faith in me to lead the party for another term. It’s not always the easiest job in the world (Although a lot easier compared to jobs like the PotUS), but to me it is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding. Parties are one of the main lifebloods of the community, and to lead one is always an honor.

TILL NEXT TIME!
