For this term, the Triad of Greatness is going to be me, Ilene Dover and Kody5. We’re probably all equally experienced when it comes to being CP, which is to say not very experienced. Not in the big chair, anyway. We’ve seen it done. I was technically CP a hundred years ago, but the game was so different back then I’m not sure it would be fair to really count it as relevant to right now.

All 3 of us are hard-working support staff members, serving in various Administrations, doing our part. All 3 of us are ‘complete players’ meaning we are invested party leaders and MU fighters and active in the larger community by putting out media, posting on forums and hanging out in discord. My vision for this term relies on both of them in these positions. They will both be excellent leaders for a month of level-grinding and will also be invaluable should something sinister arise.

Ilene Dover, Vice President
I said in the comments of Naz’s article that if I ever ran for D, I would ask Ilene to be my running mate. I am running and she has agreed to serve the nation in this capacity. I’m very excited about this. It is hard to find maturity without pretentiousness around here, but she has it. It has made her a very good advisor, especially when it comes to foreign affairs. She presents situations with objectivity and lays out possible scenarios fairly. She answers direct questions with direct answers. She’s a self-assured person, which makes for great conversations about difficult topics. She doesn’t take criticism personally and she doesn’t dish it out maliciously. She has expressed that she desires to be CP someday. I’ve never really seen her be the boss of people before, so I’m glad she is taking on the role of VP. I don’t view that as a ‘do nothing’ job and I don’t think she has it in her to take on a job with no work or responsibility attached. She will be my partner.

Kody5, Chief of Staff
Some might call it nepotism, but to be fair, he was my Chief of Staff many times before it was revealed that I am both his mother and his father. He’s almost always who I choose for the job because he’s very good at managing people and meeting objectives. He’s also good at taking the massive amounts of information and rambling that I throw at him sometimes, processing it, and turning it into something actionable. Kody would also like to be CP someday and I think he’d be great at it. He’s a well-rounded player who takes on a lot of responsibility but somehow magically hits deadlines. I credit his ability to organize. He’s also very invested in training up new air fighters and has taken on the role of Commander for USAAC. Even though CoS is seen as more administrative and less advisory, he’s an invaluable partner and totally integral to accomplishing the goals for this term.



Senry, Secretary of Defense & rainysunday, Secretary of Citizen Affairs
I’m listing these two together because it’s really the combination that interests me. My goal for the term is community-building and strengthening our power in the air. It seems only natural for Defense and Citizen Affairs to work together toward these ends. These two are great together and they were each very excited when I asked them to come on board and told them what my plans are. They helped me refine some good objectives and brought a lot of their own ideas to the table. Both Defense and Citizen Affairs have daily responsibilities supplying and setting orders, but I have brought these two together for the bigger picture of shifting our culture. They are both people who I personally think don’t need to be ‘managed’ so much as they need the freedom to do what they want to do (and only occasionally told ‘no’). I’m giving them freedom and I am excited to see what they do with it. I also really like them and think they make the game more interesting.

MCKitKat, Secretary of State
patiently waits for you to pick your jaw up off the floor
This seems like a crazy choice. He was literally just playing for the other team. But I want MCKK for this position because he is RL forig, speaks a bunch of languages, has a depth of FA experience with our enemies, and most importantly views this game as a game. I have no doubt that in this position MCKK will serve loyally and faithfully and in the best interests of the eUS. He is on our team now. He spun the wheel and had to troll an enemy nation. He went so hard after his friends that he earned a famous point. It’s a game. He gets that. He has experience and knowledge that could be useful to our interests and he’s also a super fun guy to play with. People have been saying for a while that we need some new blood in FA and some new perspectives. MCKK brings both. I’m also rather fond of the way he defends my claim to the throne of eIndonesia. He’s loyal to the Queen.

And introducing...
Komeko, Secretary of Media
I wasn’t going to have a SecMed this term. I figured Kody and I would have it covered, plus with the initiatives coming out Defense and CA, media would be taken care of. But then this kid shows up and straight out of the gate he starts cranking out articles and they’re really good! He’s jumped in with both feet and is eager to learn from basically anyone willing to teach. He’s a really sharp kid and when he jokingly said he was going to run against me for President, I knew he wasn’t really joking. He has gigantic balls. Some think he’s a multi. Some think he’s a plant. He simply knows too much for a new player. Well, the last person I thought that about is Jefferson Locke and everyone loves that guy. He’s like the Paul Rudd of eRep. So let’s see what Komeko can do! I think media will benefit greatly from his perspectives as an eager newbie in the eWorld and I think he will benefit greatly as a newbie being the hub for official gubmint information.

Sadly, Komeko will not be able to serve as Secretary of Media. His party leadership approached me and asked that he be removed from the Cabinet. I understand their reasoning and I will respect their wishes.


Now you know what I want to do and who I want to do it with. I am confident that this will be a successful term because these goals are reasonable and these people are great. They’re all smart, creative people who put the work in, even our untested new friend. I also think each of these individuals enhance the overall culture in the eUS, so I am excited to be surrounded by people who are active and interesting, come what may. This is, hands-down, the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse.

It will be a great term!
