1: Election Results

As you can see in the image on the headline, pending official Plato multi hunting, it seems almost certain that Voots will win CP.

Official congratulations to Herr Vootsman! As someone who is part of his cabinet, I can tell you that we are off to a running start.

Our VP, Stormin, is hands down the most energetic person in the Fed party. For some reason, the entropic nature of this God-forsaken game has not worn down his soul with the same ruthless efficiency that it has everyone else.

Ou Chief of Staff, Thee Dude, is someone I’ve known and liked since I first returned to the game last year. I’m excited to work with him now in the exec.

Our defense and FA teams, RT and Carlos, are handling the transition with our foreign affairs, and keeping track of/making plans for potential threats in the eWorld.

Svs and kobble are ready to keep our country’s help programs running smoothly.

Elaine has some big plans for the Education department! She’s been working hard organizing the things she wants to do this month. She’s making me proud! I’m excited to see the fruits of her labor.

I’m chained to a desk with a typewriter or something.

We have a secretary of fun this month! That person is none other than Derphoof! Expect exciting things from this department very soon 🙂

And finally, we have a GIMP Czar! This one is DMJ!

In addition, we have a list of advisors: architect of both the SFP coop and the National coop Wilhelm Rontgen, moving/flailing target Paul Proteus, many-time SFP PP and long-time cool dude Shiloh13, and person-whose-department-totally-exists!-we-totally-promise!-why-would-it-not-exist?-we’re-told-every-day-that-it-exists!-dude-stop-questioning-things! Evry!

We have a wonderful and exciting team this term!

Our 2 biggest goals are Unity and Activity! We’ve assembled a stellar team, consisting of some of the best people from every party. We will not only cooperate and work together towards shared goals, but we will excel, and shoot for Executive activity levels not seen since President Bubblar!

Trust me, if they can get my lazy a** promising more than 4 articles a month, just imagine the amount that everyone else will be doing.

It’s going to be an exciting term, and I’ll be the one telling you all about it!
Now over to Paul!




2: Cabinet Roundup
Nepotism hire: Paul Proteus

Good morning Vietnam!

Or America. Either way. It's a brave new day in America, the first day of a Voots Presidency. And like with any new presidency, we here at the White House Press team are prepared to brief you on the new dream team of cabinet wiz kids.


Live footage of the Voots cabinetry...wait...well, at least it's topical

So, without further ado:

Around the Cabinet in 80 Days

First we sat down with zRTx the incoming Secretary of Defense. Well, he didn't have time for us, so instead we sat at a table adjacent to him and snooped on his conversation, and have constructed the following interview:

WHPR: zRTx it's a pleasure
zRTx: I'll have the merlot
WHPR: What is your goal for the term?
zRTx: This restaurant sucks

This might seem like a dismissal but it is actually the lingo of inside baseball, how politicians talk to journos. We think this means: 'don't get wiped for too long.' Either that or he thought I was a waiter. Note to self: update the WHPR regulation dress code tuxedos.

We next talked to Elaine of the Snowy Forest, the incoming Secretary of Education, for tips on surviving harsh winter weather


WHPR: Elaine, what are your plans for the term? Also where can we buy warm Q5 socks?
Elaine: I want to consolidate pertinent educational content previously produced by this department into a single actively maintained document that's easy for players to navigate and use.

Elaine continued to describe her goals for the education department to become more efficient and provide citizens with relevant knowledge on ideal resource allocation, energy management, combat, the political and military spheres, and....wait...Wilker, I don't know any of these things. What have I been doing with my elife????

Elaine then had the Education Department send the media staff a long list of plans for the term. Unfortunately, our carrier pigeon has been sick so we're behind on reading them. Keep your eye out for official education media, which hopefully includes educating the media office in professional standards.

While exiting the White House, the media team was ambushed by professional nogoodnik Evry, so we reluctantly included him:

WHPR: Evry, what exactly is your role this month?
Crickets: Chirping
WHPR: Anything you want to say to the American people?
Evry: I want to assure everyone that my department, indeed, still exists

Finally, we sat down with the one and only Wilker Nath, incoming Secretary of Media, and [redacted] dashing and handsome individual:

WHPR: Wilker, what are your goals with the WHPR this term?
Wilker: I aim to fulfill one of Voots' campaign promises: better communication between the executive and the American people. Through the WHPR we will be informing the American people of the executives' objectives and plans for the months and ensuring every part of government is transparent and accountable.
WHPR: So, are we going to see an uptick in WHPRs this month?
Wilker: Absolutely!
WHPR: And what do you have to say about having Paul Proteus, a known quote-fabricator, write segments?
Wilker: No comment

That's all for today. Stay tuned and join us next time as your intrepid Media Team keeps you informed of the cabinet, their plans, and more~



3: Reviving Channels of Communication

The large wooden double doors leading to the Oval Office (private exec board) had cobwebs growing on them. Voots did the honorary surface dusting before Stormin and Thee Dude took their placed on either side of them. As one, they each began to push, while Wilker took notes for the upcoming news segment about the opening of the office and Logan Beary, the new WHPR staffer, photographed for it.

As the opening commenced, the new cabinet was instantly hit with the overpowering smell of Chic-Fil-A. The doors creaked open, revealing a mountain of fast food trash, and enough mice to start a biblical-scale plague in a rival nation. zRTx took note of that idea.

They stared at the harrowing sight in front of them for a single moment of disbelief. “Paul.” Said Voots, the newly-elected CP.

“Yes, I’m on it.” Replied the eternal whipping boy. Mop and trash bucket in hand, he trudged into the room to tidy up.

===

When asked about his #1 goal for this term, our new CP gave the following reply:



As part of that promise, we will of course be reviving the Executive sub-board of the eUS forums, and we will once more be using daily PDBs. If we get a little ambitious, we may also do a few PBs.

Access groups and mod permissions for multiple platforms of communication are being worked on as we speak. In addition, we will be starting up a public administration room on telegram to serve as a place for allies and other nations to make contact.



I am optimistic about this term, and I hope you all are too!
