[APP] Interview with the candidate Brigidd
Australian Parliamentary Party
Dear eAustralians,
The presidential elections are coming up, and we decided to do this interview to learn more about our nominated candidate, Brigidd.
1- Good morning, can you tell us in short something about you and what you did in eRepublik?
I am a real life South African living and working in Kwa Zulu Natal South africa. Active mostly in the evenings during the week.
I started my elife in March 2009 and spent the first six or 7 months as a normal citizen doing the basics. Before becoming involved in a pto of a nation. The experience of which has given me an intense dislike of ptos and what they do to nations.
After this went back to the normal life of just working and fighting before New Zealand was brought onto the map. I joined the community before the official start and become heavily involved in building the nation. Being an active player I was pulled into the political side starting with Minister of eduction then dMoFA and after a few months taking over as MoFA most of the time. Except for months as vCP, and 4 or 5 times as CP,
I spent the most part of the 4 and a half years there as one of the decision makers of the course taken by the nation.
2- You are a CP candidate for the month of June, what pushed you to run?
I was going to take a break for a bit, before the turkish airstrike happened. But with this attack I saw that Aus needed active, experienced players, as this sort of thing can happen anytime. Even if I lose I will get involved if asked.
3- In your article you talked about your past eLife in New Zealand and in your desire to detach yourself from the strong involvement in the management of the country. Being CP is a big commitment, do you think this will push you in the future to move again to other nations?
CP is a big commitment, and I know its going to be a lot different from my previous experience with it, New Zealand had quite a different government style. To be honest I don't know, I have become quite settled here and enjoy the nation and its people, so only time will tell. I came here originally for 3 months but it feels like home so it will be hard to leave.
4- An evergreen topic in every small community of the game involves the babyboom. What do you think about that? Do you think there are quick ways to find new citizens?
I don't there is a quick and easy way to create a babyboom. Word of mouth and using social media have had the best results elsewhere. But the admins don't make it easy for nations especially small ones to keep their young citizens.
5- Another hot topic in the community is the use of forums and the involvement of the Senators, that after the implementation of self-dictatorship, have lost functionality in the game. You will use the forum to keep informed the Senate and possibly ask their advice on matters that, in the absence of dictatorship, was their in-game competence?
Quite honestly its something I'd have to make an effort at, getting senators opinions is not what I've had to do before. With the number of senators and the limited numbers for mass messaging the forum
6- I conclude by looking for some information in preview. You can anticipate some collaborators name that will be part of your government, if you're elected?
At the moment I have a few people in deputy minister positions. So still looking for full ministers if anyone would like to apply my door is open. Also Vasco and Xenthus will be in an advisory roll.
Thank you Brigidd, and good luck!
That's all guys.
Remember to vote!

whistle while I twerk it
Ehh, Propaganda.
From an org no less!
APP showing off why they used to charge membership fees. 🙂
Soft interview, and as Rellori said propaganda from apologists. The APP use to be so much more than this. A respectable institution that respected the Senate and would have been the ones to reform the Senate not some KHMC chum. Seemore please stop calling the APP so, you are the worst thing to ever happen to the party.
Thanks for mentioning my name!
I read the interview and I found it pretty good actually 🙂
The last part I said was out of months of pent up frustration with the APP. Came out worst than what I remember. Apologies. But my point still stands strong.
Good luck Brigidd, I like your no red tape cut the BS attitude. o/
And look where that has got you Infowar
Rusty, I just like to have action... I have seen too many governments who don't provide any action for the public.. Public needs action...
If there was actually a senate thread this term, the senate would have been informed every step of the way I am sure.. But there wasn't even a senate thread in existence. And the forum, is like snail mail.. If there is an window of opportunity to act quickly, it can't be done with a forum senate.. Need an in-game thread for senate also..
I wish you would of brought up these concerns when I wrote about why it is essential to have a forum based senate and not before an election when it is convenient.
Even then, Senate threads are unruly and cannot fit all the necessary people. Plus it is done in secret.
Infowar, action is great, but it is not just about pushing a button and wasting money and resources. Targets need to be evaluated, attacks need to be timed and organised. And when people speak up, they need to be listened too and there reasons spoke about.
Many countries in this game are not what they seem, many counties are under the protection of others, like NZ, China, Denmark etc. A soft easy landing is never the case, otherwise they would of been hit before .
To be honest I kind of enjoyed the forum senate back in the day. There were a lot of clear political analysis and debates. But, nothing seemed to ever get done, and it would take forever. I have said it before, the reason why red-tape doesn't work in this game is because the government changes every month.. It's not enough time to execute complicated decisions and act on opportunities swiftly.
Good point Rusty and we were aware of that before it happened. We just wanted another solid war for the tournament, and not just a training war, something more exciting and with a purpose. We would have been happy just to land and have one battle with Germany. Unfortunately Argentina and Serbia messed us around with signing the MPPs.. If we would have had those two mpps, much more likely would have won..
Next time we would take a lot more time to prepare and coordinate, it's for sure.
I might be missing something,so I do apologise if I have. But looking at your profile medals, you don't have any CP medals, but you have stated that you were CP 4 or 5 times?
Pretty sure her account was banned and bought the new one.
She had a previous account which was closed which many can vouch for..
And that's an endorsement? Multis everywhere...
You're welcome to get admins to check me Ilene. As currently there is only me 😉
I'm not saying you are now, geez! Sorry for the insinuation...
People were often different in their past though.
Thanks, it was a dead serious question, as I have seen people refer to Ronell. So I was guessing something happened before my time. Maybe for the new people or people like me who are not aware of the goings on, a proper explanation is worthwhile. Including banning reasons.
We all know the divided opinion that happened in regards to Pr3zzyy and the old Hugh account.
Brigidd, on a scale on 9-10 how much will you suck up to Nebula?
