Cody Fowler😃escribe in one word what its like to be president.

PigInZen:enlightening

Cody Fowler:If you couldn't win and had the deciding vote,who would your vote go to?

PigInZen😮bviously it depends on who was running... if we're talking about the previous election I probably
would have voted for DanielCD because he was a known quantity to me. Now that I've had and opportunity to know Andy Costello I probably would pull the lever for him.

Cody Fowler:What do you think is the best thing you've done for the country/world so far?

PigInZen:I wish I could point to one shining grand thing I've done. I haven't done anything like that, I've only tried to lead by example and reinforce my core values of fairness, honesty and decency as being ones US citizens should embrace as well. I hope I don't come across as a moral scold, I know I can take the ethical side of things too seriously from time to time. If I could spread this attitude more broadly though I believe that it would be a far greater thing than conquering an opponent or developing a government program to help fix a problem.

Cody Fowler:If you could choose any as your V.P. who would it be?

PigInZen:Without a doubt, Ligtreb. Ligtreb is one of those players that I've always respected for his dedication to the Welcoming Committee and the CBO. He's consistent and treats people with both respect and friendship. I tried to get him to be a running mate with me the first time I ran against Josh Frost but he declined out of respect for his friendship to Josh. I completely understood that.

Cody Fowler:To you what is the funnest part about being president?

PigInZen:Knowing everything and having access to the highest levels of decision making around the eRep world. Being able to have a serious impact on the game comes close too...

Cody Fowler:Are you glad you were elected president? If not why?

PigInZen:Glad? Probably yes. LOL. There have been moments in this term where I wasn't thrilled but overall I think I'm the right person at the right time. I'm disappointed I haven't been able to have a greater impact but we're still working on that. 😉

Cody Fowler:Are you going to create any more seal teams?

PigInZen:You'd have to ask Josh Frost about that, the Seals are his gig. After I'm done being President? Probably I won't go down that path. I see myself as becoming more a world diplomat, spreading the news about the US not being the enemy that so many want to make us out to be.

Cody Fowler:Are you going to create any special jobs?

PigInZen😒pecial jobs? Yes. Several have already landed in my administration and more are in queue. Some initial thoughts have been creating a company registry for American-owned and/or USA-located companies for the Marketplace. I would need someone to oversee that. There is always a need to expand our tech operations - those are paid positions, by the way. Other areas that could use attention are some sort of Better Business Bureau to allow for safer black market transactions, party president coordination for election slating, citizen communications, I could go on and on...

Cody Fowler😛ersonnal interest: Are you going to atack eBrazil?

PigInZen😃irectly? That would involve some serious planning and maneuvering. Personally I am of the opinion that the US really needs to develop a counter to Brazil's influence in the Western Hemisphere. It's something I've talked about for months but haven't been able to gain traction on - yet. I would like to point out that we can fight Brazilian hegemony by simply assisting South Africa, like we did yesterday in Northern Cape. (that was Argentina, but you get my point...)

Cody Fowler:Finally, are you going to be running again?

PigInZen:Most likely yes. To be honest, I haven't been focusing on getting reelected, to the dismay of some of my personal advisers. I believe in continuing to do the work of government, providing a guiding hand and publishing substantive articles when the need arises, not in politicking.
Thanks for the interview, some of these questions were difficult to answer... 😃

I hope you enjoyed the interview I had with PIZ.You can of course get an interview from him yourself but he is very busy and it took me about a month to get this one.
Best regards,
Cody Fowler
