Operation Friendly Stranger: An Update on the Interior

Day 1,160, 00:55 Published in USA Australia by Justin McCravok

Sup?

Wazzsup, America? A few nights ago, Haliman told me to churn out an article about Operation Toe Drag Operation Friendly Stranger (props to Iamnameless for winning my contest). So, here I am, writing to you at 3:25AM about something about the government that like nobody's even going to read.

Alright, so, what has the Department of Interior done for America this term?. You know, besides the usual, of course.




Meals on Wheels has fed newbies over 500 times
Give or take a few for not meeting MoW requirements, this great, wonderful American program has helped feed and revive to full health over 500 times. Yeah, 500, and we give each new player 15 Q3 Food. Do the math, and it's over 22,000USD in food. Okay maybe my math is wrong, but it's still a lot. This is why nobody should do math this early (late).

Insert Syrup here because he wanted credit


Community Development Project Reformation
Thanks to my "pal" Blank Keating, I came into the month without a solid Community Development Program running. CDP's job is to send a second, more welcoming message to any new player in the new world, and it's been down for weeks now because of a few technicalities. Well, Keating and Angelini have worked hard, and while Angelini has quit the position due to her all-mighty and obviously more important Federalist PP job, the program is now undergoing final renovations, and will be ready before next sunday MARK.MY.WORDS. New director is To.Be.Announced

REACH Reformation
Another program that Blank Keating killed during his term was REACH. REACH's job is to do external advertising to get new players to join eRepublik, and you know, increase the USA's citizens and stuff. The program is still being run by David Landon and Civil Anarchy, and while Landon has been focusing mostly on his Twitter project and his campus flyers, I have no idea what Civil Anarchy is doing. Maybe if I can find him, we can actually talk about it.




If only the Shout Squad was as good as the Department of Fun
No, it's not HobbitTon's fault the Shout Squad was a bust. In fact, the shout squad was very effective at first, and spread information such as new White House Press Report's and Meals on Wheels signup forms. It's mainly the Admin's fault for this new (useless) 30 shout limit. Shouts aren't the main line of communication anymore, and I don't expect it to change until and if the Admin changes the limit.

As for the Department of Fun, this is one of the best and my personal favorite project that I've started during Haliman's term. The activity's there, and we're actually trying to make America entertaining again, something that's been missing from the puzzle for months. Paul Proteus heads the program, and we currently have Over 20 frickin' gold in prizes that you can win. Check it out right over here and feel free to sign-up and spread the word~




New eUSA Forum and Suggestion Box
I requested for Laxsnor to make a sub forum for the Department of Interior on the eUSA Forums, and after enough whining and blackmail, he finally did it.The sub forum in it's entirety can be seen here. What have we in the Interior done with it? Other then announced some of contests sponsored by the Department of Fun, we have a company template format for company owners to send to their new employees. Plus, I can't not mention our department descriptions, an always hot topic for those who don't know what the Interior actually does. Oh, and this too. If your idea is the best, you get it implemented and win two gold. Pretty friggin cool, right?


Oh and there's still so much more left to do, America. I pledge to you that this list will be doubled by the time I'm done with my term, and when I'm done, we will have the strongest American interior that you have all ever feasted your very eyes on. But, until then, as the young Gulden Draak once said, stay thirsty my friends.
