American pleasure, welcome to the World Sheet Newspaper Today We will be Interviewing the Current CP Cthulhu. I hope you like the interview. Let's go!!!
DN 1 - To begin with, tell us a little about yourself, and what positions have you held in eRepublik?
CP 1) - Federalist Party PP x10, every position multiple times
USWP PP x2, and every position multiple times
Secretary of State x2
Country President x2
Secretary of Defense x2
SEES VP for four months.
Secretary of Defense, deputy
Eastern Europe Director, US State Dept
Secretary of State, deputy
Special Forces, XO
Embassador to Turkey
Embassador to Hungary
Embassador to Ireland
Major in the eUS Cavalry
USTC Honors Graduate
Congressman (x53)
Director of Arm America
There is a fairly comprehensive list of all the things I've done. I only started in politics around the time of the exodus, which St Krems ended his presidency and a bunch of people left the eUS for ePakistan. I was introduced to Dioism, SEES, and started to see things on a national and global scale in the game.
DN 2 - Define you in a nutshell?
CP 2) - I have always been a proponent of having fun in erepublik. Some people are having fun with the military module or economic module. I've always had the most fun in the meta-game. The glory times of erepublik were on IRC, and fr3dst3r was a legend. Someday, I'm going to slave out that hard drive and post all them sexy logs. Lately, I've been having fun within the Federalist party. After my presidency I will return my focus on We the People. I think it has some real potential as the leading party in the eUS. That will be a fun advanture when the time comes.
DN 3 - You've been a congressman 53 times, what key projects have you written those 53 times?
CP 3) - I have not been the guy to plan large scale projects. There are those that administrate quite well, and that is not me. My focus in Congress has usually been discussing foreign affairs, or defense spending. I have not been active in Congress for many months. If I had to hang my hat on something, I loved the Arm America program back in the day. I helped manage this with Pdeb, Evry, Zyria, and many others. This has long since been replaced.
DN 4 - In your opinion, what is the importance of a Congress for the country?
CP 4) - I believe it gives everyone the opportunity to be informed on what is going on in their country, see how their money is being spent, and it gives you the chance to voice your opinion. Furthermore, it's basically the last piece of the meta-game that we have internally. With the active player numbers dropping across the board, I hope that everyone still active gets the most out of the game.
DN 5 - what would happen if one day the united states runs out of congress?
CP 5) - If you mean being wiped on the 23rd or whatever, I think it has already happened. IIRC, and it was a long time ago; each party nominated delegates and we continued on as if we had a Congress. It was a reasonable way to keep the community engaged while the buttons were inactive.
DN 6 - you as current president of the usa, what is your biggest difficulty so far?
CP 6) - We are divided. There are people that think leaving CODE was a big mistake. There are people that think that it was a good decision, but do not think we should be joining the Asteria side. And, there are those (like me) that see moving into the Asteria sphere as the best direction for the eUS's long-term success in the game.
If we can bring people together around a central philosophy, ideal, or cause; we might have a chance to salvage our country. Otherwise, we will continue to bicker and waffle. Our reputation is s*** right now, and it's up to use to repair it. I do not think that attacking each other is the way to do it. I hope that we can find a peaceful resolution to our predicament. I fear a revolution is on the horizon.
DN 7 - Have you ever been president of the USA 3 times, what feeling do you have when you assume this position?
CP 7) - My prior experiences were VASTLY different than this go around. Back in the day MPPs, land-swaps, and back-room deals were an actual thing. NOW, MPPs are gone, land-swaps are too complicated. The introduction of determination, coupled with the overall declining community has fundamentally changed the game. Sure, there are plenty of discussions on the side; but there is no true surprises anymore. We fight, they fight, we win, they win, oh there's a couple of legends; and everyone loses. IMHO, the Maverick pack cuts the legs out from under new players. How or why would a new player even attempt to participate in the military module with this mechanic? And the economy module has been broken since the value of gold plumeted years ago as well.
The only thing left is the relationships that you build with other people and nations. I was overwhelmed at first, but the cabinet has been awesome at helping me get to know all of the players on in the international stage. I hope that more people will join the new meta on Telegram, so that they can get the most out of the game.
DN 8 - Which country does the US have the best relationship with?
CP
DN 9 - What is the relationship between the USA and Brazil?
CP 9) - When I entered the admnistration, I was notified that we were going to end our training war with eBrazil. That was the extent of engagement with eBrazil this term. I think that Groot has a good relationship with Brazil, and if CG is elected I am sure he will be in close contact with you. I am told that we conducted the training war with you, but it may not have been mutually agreed to in the beginning. However, I'm glad we were able to end it as you requested. Back in the day, Brazil was KEY to the eUS success; but I am not sure where Brazil is headed now. Where do you see Brazil in a couple of months? I know we've not been the best of friends, I mean coersion usually isn't the best way to make friends. But, I hope that we can maintain good relations from now on and perhaps find a way to work together in the future.
DN 10 - What are the difficulties most faced by citizens?
CP 10) - How do you find enjoyment in the game? Are you an economic mogule? Do you spend money, so that you can participate in the military module? Or, can you wade through all the bulls*** and have fun in the meta-game? Helping any new citizen navigate these questions should help them figure out where they will live in the game.
DN 11 - What is the country's current economic scenario?
CP 11) - We managed to secure 100/100 weapons and food bonuses. We've setup our safe regions, and still have money set aside to help people with relocationing their factories. We have 20+ training wars that give our citizens the ability to farm gold and freedom fighter medals, and the cc generated from the training wars can be given to the citizens. Now, we need to continue to measure how to best give the cc to the citizens, and continue to rank up our air support.
DN 12 - Is the USA prepared to face an economic crisis or a war?
CP 12) - Yes, we are prepared for any crisis we face. The real question is: will be be an active participant in the war between Croatia and Serbia; or will we simply be a pawn. I am pushing for the US to become more active in alliance planning and organized, so that we can have a hand in our own fate.
DN 13 - Finally, leave a message for American citizens.
CP 13) - I invite everyone to join us on the Forums, Discord, and Telegram. The meta-game is the best place to get enjoyment from the game. I hope you will find a way to play the game that suits you, and gives you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

And, most importantly for all of us: Stay safe during this pandemic. It's getting worse and worse in the US, and I know some other countries are not doing well either. I hope everyone can stay employed and in good health as we enter this winter. I has the potential to be a very rough winter.

DN 8 - Which country does the US have the best relationship with?
CP
😎- We have a complicated relationship with many nations, but honestly we are getting along very well with all Hydra, Apollo, and Asteria nations. eSerbia has been the one I've worked with the most during my term, but everyone has been easy to work with. I was invited to a couple key channels on Telegram right away, without question; and that was quite neighborly.
DN 9 - What is the relationship between the USA and Brazil?
CP 9) - When I entered the admnistration, I was notified that we were going to end our training war with eBrazil. That was the extent of engagement with eBrazil this term.
