Orik4CP September 2016
Greetings EZC! It's been a while. I am announcing my run for Country President for September 2016.
I'll be publishing my announcement either late tonight or sometime tomorrow so that it doesn't get lost in the void that is the weekend.
I would like your support! Questions? Comments? Witty jokes? Please, feel free to let them loose.

Good luck and good idea to post here, other CP candidates often overlook us.
No questions for now, but I may have one soon

Certainly experience lends itself well to leading. Having been there and done that gives a certain perspective necessary to do it again. Having learned from the mistakes of my last term is an ever greater indicator that it will be a strong term.
Granted, eventually, somebody without the medal will step up to the plate and earn their first one. However, I think there should be a certain amount of prior experience being involved with leading at least SOME part of the Executive beforehand. Currently, I don't see any other candidates that have that required prior experience.

[Orik4CP]There and Back Again

It's that time again. I've been there and I'm back again.
I'm going to keep this announcement short and sweet since I'm going to follow it up shortly with an article with a bit more substance.[img width=600 height=36]https://2img.net/h/s23.postimg.cc/5efzwhi63/Dwarf_Divider.png[/img]
It's been a few months since I was last in the big chair and I've learned a lot since then. I've learned a lot from criticisms of my previous term.
It's been a long strange trip and I've done every job in the Executive since then. I've spent time in Defense dealing with USAF. I've spent time in the NSC dealing with order/priority setting and PMU coordination. I've spent time in the Citizen Affairs department coordinating with interior program directors to keep the programs up and running efficiently. I've spent the majority of time working as Secretary of State to coordinate with allies abroad to continue to keep the eUS in a good place in the complicated web of alliances. And I've been utilized as Vice President and Chief of Staff to oversee all the operations and ensure everyone understood their job and the goals outlined for them.[img width=600 height=36]https://2img.net/h/s23.postimg.cc/5efzwhi63/Dwarf_Divider.png[/img]
So, with all that in mind, I am announcing my candidacy for Country President for September 2016.

I feel that, for all Pfeiffer's supposed experience, none of that is relevant in today's eRep. Pfeiffer doesn't have any experience leading the country with 2000 "active" citizens. Pfeiffer's last term as CP was FOUR years ago. Pfeiffer doesn't want to be Country President, he wants to feel important again
All of my experience is relevant NOW. In the last year, I've served in every cabinet position there is. Multiple times in some. And, oh yeah, I was elected CP in February. Not only do I have more relevant experience, I think I'm an overall better candidate.

Re: Orik4CP September 2016
What did you learn from your last term that you will apply this term.
I recall you not being all that active in media, will you write more to keep people informed?

[Orik4CP] Never Stop Grinding

- [img width=600 height=168]https://2img.net/h/s23.postimg.cc/y49bcd7az/The_Dwarf_Times_Header.png[/img]
In my last article, I promised more substance.
In this article, I'm going to be providing a rough outline of the goals and expectations for myself and my departments.[img width=600 height=36]https://2img.net/h/s23.postimg.cc/5efzwhi63/Dwarf_Divider.png[/img]
My opponent has taken the declining game population as a opportunity to consolidate power unto himself by shrinking the Executive as a whole.
We must take a more pragmatic approach to the situation. This is not the way. The division of labor is important.
No, instead, we must continue grinding to find newer players to participate. His way would see the main avenue of ascension to the National-level removed. The Executive departments and all their Secretary and Deputy positions serve as a breeding ground for future Country Presidents. This should not be taken away.[img width=600 height=36]https://2img.net/h/s23.postimg.cc/5efzwhi63/Dwarf_Divider.png[/img]
My personal goal is to keep the American people informed day in and day out of the business of the Executive and a continual evaluation of the performance of its departments. I will do this through a mix of official WHPR media, departmental media, and more personal Media from me than in the past.
In February, I preferred to communicate directly with the various department heads directly instead of utilizing the PDB. I'll be using the PDB more effectively this term as a tool to gather the opinion and advice of a much larger pool of intelligence in order to make the best decisions possible and move the Country forward.[img width=600 height=36]https://2img.net/h/s23.postimg.cc/5efzwhi63/Dwarf_Divider.png[/img]
President Resoula made the move to combine the duties of the NSC and the DoD. I will not be undoing this action. I will, however, still maintain a multi-man DoD department to oversee the defense of the Nation and the transition of the USAF.
I will continue to involve the USAF Leadership in ongoing efforts to help the USAF decide on the course it wants to take.
My goal with the DoD/NSC in conjunction with the State Department is to leverage our position to find a way to have a protracted war that occupies our fighters. Not a training war. A real war.
I would also like to wrap up the USAF business this term so the Unit can move on to bigger and better things.[img width=600 height=36]https://2img.net/h/s23.postimg.cc/5efzwhi63/Dwarf_Divider.png[/img]
On the home front, it seems we've wandered. Our programs are stale and our educational mandate is lacking if not completely non-existent.
In efforts to continue to serve our new and long-term players, we must find a way to liven the place up a bit. We've got to find ways to make old programs new. We MUST provide educational material in order to assist the efforts of our Parties in building up new players to be the leaders of tomorrow. Whether that's revamping old material and making it new or writing completely new material, we MUST do better.[img width=600 height=36]https://2img.net/h/s23.postimg.cc/5efzwhi63/Dwarf_Divider.png[/img]
I've already kind of let on some of my Foreign Affairs plans earlier in conjunction with the Defense section. I'm going to be leveraging our unique position in the alliance and MPP webs with current events in order to find a way to have a REAL protracted war that will be winnable but will require effort and coordination to achieve.
Some serious State media has also been lacking lately. As a multiple Secretary of State over the last year, I share the blame in this. It's telling when most of your populace couldn't tell you every nation in your alliance or why our allies and enemies are that. Under my term, I'll be rectifying that situation such that our National as a whole will be better off as they become smarter about why we conduct business the way we do.[img width=600 height=36]https://2img.net/h/s23.postimg.cc/5efzwhi63/Dwarf_Divider.png[/img]
These have just been some high-level thoughts, plans, and goals that I'd like to achieve for myself, my cabinet, and my Country during my term.
Tomorrow, I'll be laying out the team I have chosen to make this a reality. Stay tuned!

Re: Orik4CP September 2016
What's in it for EZC? what can the Gov do to make us even better?
As the top MU in eUSA, we are starting to feel pressured to perform according to the Gov DO all the time. We are still a private MU and we may sometimes (either for fun or even for money) go our own way (remember our attack on Canada a couple of months ago?). How do you feel about that?
Good luck out there.

Don't be lazy. You came here and posted. I asked you a question here..

[Orik4CP] Work for a Living
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/2611450
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/2611450
- Spoiler:
Announcement...plans...
Hmm....I feel like I'm missing something here....
Oh! Right! My cabinet!
Vice President - Resoula
What's there not to say about Resoula? Our outgoing Country President has served us well and will continue to serve the American people as Vice President during my term.
As Vice President, Resoula is a step away from the Presidency if I die during my term. Resoula will continue the work started in his term and be my chief liaison with USAF leadership and its members as we continue to work on strengthening our national MU.
Chief of Staff - Israel Stevens
It's no secret that Israel and I really clashed during our campaigning in March. Then clashed some more during Melissa Rose's term.
But dang it does he get stuff done! Since his return back in February/March, Israel has been unrepentant in his drive and desire for Executive cabinets to do WORK. He's tireless! Probably fueled by copious amounts of gin.
As my Chief of Staff, Israel will be there from the first day to the last making sure the departments and PDB are running smoothly and Secretaries and Deputies are meeting expectations.
Secretary of State - Wild Owl
HOOT HOOT!
As Country President, it's my job to represent the eUS officially as Chief Diplomat. I will not be abdicating that title to Wild Owl.
Instead, I will work with Wild Owl and the State Department to navigate the MPP web to find ways to continue to improve the position of the Country. We will also be working to bring WAR to our fighters. Let's face it...training wars are boring. It's no fun if we have to return lands that we rightfully conquered. Not so in my term.
I've also tasked Owl with bringing an educational aspect to his department. We should be educating the American people about our allies and enemies, why they are what they are, and what's going on in the eWorld. Our people should be able to know that Hungary is in Pacifica. Bottom up, our people should be smarter about our position by the end of the term.
Secretaries of Defense - Yui and Crimsonninja
Yui is a lock for this position. There's nothing else to say about that. Crimsonninja has disappeared and reappeared a few times. His work in the Feds the last few months has been extraordinary.
NSC this month will be busy. As I stated in the State Department section, we will have WAR this term and Yui and Crimson (plus deputies) will need to be working round the clock to manage priorities, maybe set combat orders, and coordinate damage with allies to put us in the best position to continue the dominance of imperial America.
Secretary of Citizen Affairs - Comet Academy
Last term, Comet Academy worked with Ilene Dover to run the Citizen Affairs department and I think it's time for an upgrade to sole Secretary.
Like I outlined in my plans article. This month, I have tasked Comet to revitalize our educational content. He will be working to update articles and republish those that are still relevant. He'll also be working to ensure all programs are fully functioning and operating at peak efficiency. Keep your eyes on this one. He's putting in the work and there are big things in his future.
Secretary of Media - Fingerguns
Last, but CERTAINLY not least, we have the lovely Fingerguns! PEW PEW! In her latest revival, Fingerguns has been a media publishing machine for the Feds. Pumping out quality media isn't always easy, nor is it glamorous.
Fingerguns work will not be done until the last day of the term. She'll be working to pick through Congressional, Executive, and other personal medias in order to provide the most up to date news and information in a concise and consolidated format for easy consumption for the American people.
So, that's it for my Cabinet! Each department will also be chock full of deputies and younger players looking to get a foot in the door! We will continue to work throughout the term to seek out new players and help them discover their talents to help grow them into the leaders of tomorrow!

Lol. Alright, WDIB.
Yeah, it was a criticism of mine and a definite failing. As I've pointed out in my campaign articles, there are going to be multiple sources of media in an Orikfricai term. State media, DoCA media, WHPR media, DoD media, and personal media.
I keep being dismissed as lazy and I really have no way to dispel those accusations except to keep plugging away doing what I'm doing. Being involved in the community. Answering questions. Being easy to reach out to.

Good luck out there.
Outside of launching a coup of the eUS Dictator, I'm fine with EZC doing what EZC does. Being awesome. However that happens. If you want to coup Canada, I'll deal. If you want to take on Serbia single-handedly, we'll see what we can do to help.
I want to engage the fighters and MU's of the country as much as I want to engage the less aggressive population with more fluffy things to do like game nights and what not.

Re: Orik4CP September 2016
I only called you lazy because your response to my question was to tell me to read your article. IMO, you did a good job when you were in the big chair last time with the exception of media which is the platform to keep those of us not extremely active on the forum (read in congress) informed of what is going on.

Yeah, it was definitely an area for improvement. I've never shied away from that. I will do better.
