[DfA] Some goals, some introductions and a request
DraimAlexander
My goal has been, and always will be, to do what is best for the country and to work with whatever government is elected (except a PTO). While I’m obviously in a party I stayed with them because they allowed me to be a bit free, to disagree with other members of the party (even on topics which they had always been consistent about) and to go off and help support ‘opponents’ as well.
That isn’t always easy, as anyone who’s been around eAustralia knows we have an AMAZING tendency to fight internally, almost as bad as the RL American congress. However we are still strong and when we need to gang together against common enemies we can and we have amazing strength of will. I’m not the best at any of the specific parts of government but between us we have some amazing minds and I intend to take full advantage of all of the parties by surrounding myself by our smartest and most interested users both young and old.
Are you interested in joining the cabinet?
We need people from all walks of life in the game. The ultimate collection of ministers and staff for a department will be generally up to the leaders of that group but I want to encourage everyone who is interested to talk to either me or someone specifically involved in your area. If you don’t who is in charge yet (because I haven’t said it or it isn’t clear) drop me a line.
I also plan to make a ‘Council of Advisors’, a ‘semi-cabinet’ group of advisors who don’t necessarily need to be be publicly loyal or agree with the government but who are willing to privately give advice, or yell, when they think something isn’t going right (an important aspect of anyone in my cabinet) and ensures that the government is not just made up of yes men (and women).
Our number one priority needs to be to figure out exactly where we stand in our quest to get our regions back (we’ve been led on far too long) and start to implement a plan of action. We’ve worked hard to push towards this in the past couple months but we still have a way to go. That may involve setting up a stable colony among friends we can strike from, joining an alliance (formal or informal) where we can have mutual support or something else entirely but in the end the real goal is very clear and not to be ignored.
My team is being built around that goal. I’ll have more articles over the next couple days but as a primer meet my dCP and Defense candidates:
He’s been an extremely active member of the cabinet this term behind the scenes and I know he will continue to be if I get elected. His experience across the government and military is widespread and far reaching and his contacts incredibly valuable. If I’m elected Scotty the NUKE (Scotty) will continue to be the great organizing force and dCP that he is today as we strive for a unified Australia.
For Defense we have someone who has inside experience with some of our current occupiers. He’s served as CP for New Zealand and even before coming over to the light side was long a source of good natured joking in the eAus IRC channels. At some level Valentyme was the reason I was ok with New Zealand even as we fought. He’s already working on experiments on how to increase the activity and efficiency (both in time and money ) for our military forces and engagement with the MUs. This would continue into the next term as he also helps us to prepare for local battle (and if necessary fight).
We have more people to gather, and ask, for cabinet but it’s falling into place nicely and more articles will be coming soon. I think that I can make a difference next month and I ask for your support and your help doing it! I can only do this with all of you.

Ummm what is PTO ?, I'm new here
As Desforcescry said it's for political takeover. http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Political_takeover has more detailed thoughts but generally it's when someone (stereotypically foreign) attempts to take over a country through the political process generally using multiple accounts or subterfuge (and therefore being considered an illegitimate government not representing the populace). For example they may work to get a couple congress seats and then use those to admit specific users who will support them (and help to get more congress seats). Then when they have a majority of the congress and/or the CP they can gain access to the government treasury etc.

I always thought it was Player Take Over.?
Sounds good to me
If someone is going for the MMM as I am, I do sub for sub!
~Hail Alexander the Great~
Much better set out article! 😃
And i thought ANP was renown for harbouring PTOers ....
10 comments.... yet 79 votes... you boys and your gold spending for votes is cute but I'm pretty sure Draim wouldn't appreciate it.
Yeah, not completely sure where these ones came from.. I've purchased before (mostly during ranger's CPship when I wanted to push some of the big fight articles up quickly for 250cc or whatever) but this one will actually make my next article a bit harder to find....
on larni, mick gatto voted your comment, seems he hasnt let go lol
I've been out of the game for a few years and have just come back. I'm slightly confused by the current situation though as a lot has changed. Whenever I go to fight Chile v Australia it says I'm fighting against australia. Is there anywhere that has set out what needs to be done to join the fight as atm it;s asking me to change country and I haven't yet built up enough cash to be able to move zones.
