[Wook4CP] My plans and my cabinet...
WookieO
What will I be doing and who’ll be doing it with me?
Some of my opponents and even some of the floating voters of the eUK have questioned my seriousness over the last few days.
I would like to set the record straight on this matter - yes, I’m a fun-loving chap and I am here (playing this game) to enjoy myself. However that does not mean in any way, shape or form that I would take the position of CP of the eUK lightly.
Having spoken to a few people recently I have begun to shape my plans for a WookieO term and in fact have already got some names in place for my cabinet if I am lucky enough to win this election.
EDIT: I'm afraid Carlini has decided he can't be my Minister of Health next month, if I win this election. I was very much looking forward to seeing his plans for the NHS unfold, but I fully understand his reasons for pulling out.
Do not fret though! I have a couple of names for a replacement as back up and I am sounding them out as you read this. I will make sure the young citizens of the eUK are not neglected and there are some other plans in the pipeline which through the MoHA should help this.
I am also delighted to announce that Emergy Maxfell, the current Minister of Finance, has kindly agreed to take on the reins for a second term.
Emergy has done a superb job this month, following on from the excellent work of Carlini the previous term and I feel very happy in giving him this position. Our funds are in safe hands here and the country’s investments have been looked after very well.
Regarding the rest of my cabinet I have a few names in mind (as I will reveal later in this article) but I am happy to take applications from any and all eUK citizens. Please feel free to send me a PM with any experience you may have and/or any area you’d prefer to work in and I will endeavour to find a place for you if I can.
Any plans though Wook?
My main ideas for my term are to actively promote the fun and social aspects of this game, primarily to keep new citizens engaged, but also to attempt to reinvigorate the older players too!
Through my Ministry of Home Affairs and the attached Ministry of Entertainment I want to bring humour to the forefront of any articles released. I’d like to see games, quizzes and interviews giving a real sense of what it’s like to be a part of the eUK.
Promotion of the forums and of irc will be a part of that, although I do realise that not all players want to take that next step and become involved off the eRep website, but I will be advocating the value added to the game through them. As my old drama teacher used to say to us “You only get out what you put in…” and I think for this game more than most, that statement is true.
Regarding this I can tell you that I have given the Minister of Entertainment's position to LongShotzZ.
For the Ministry of Defence I am not asking for any massive changes. Some people may feel this is wrong, but I think the current plan for the running of the MoD is the right one. With the use of combat orders and the UK - FU scheme working reasonably well, then I just have to make sure I put the right people in the right position.
I can announce that mwcerberus and FragUK will be my co-MoDs, but they will need dedicated and active deputies to assist them, so as mentioned above, if this is an area you’re interested in, let me know.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is an area I’m not at all experienced in and I feel this is also an area of the eUK government that is seen as shadowy and “behind closed doors” to the general populace.
I’d like this to change and I want my ministers to keep the eUK up-to-date with everything that’s going on in the eWorld. Regular articles are a must and I want them to make it easy to understand for the newer players. To that end I am pleased to announce my co-MoFAs for the month as Bohemond4 and Rfeist. These two have experience at the highest level of the eUK, both having sat in the CP’s seat and I know they’ll do me proud in the world of foreign affairs.
Once again, if you are interested in getting involved in Foreign Affairs, please let me know and I’m sure Boh and Rich will appreciate the extra help.
Finally…
Before I let you go I have one final announcement for this article and this is the appointment of my vice-CP. In fact this month I shall have two vCPs and their role will be to speak for me when I cannot be there, to help me out with the day to day running of departments and to give me advice when I need it.
I’m happy to reveal that my vCPs are ChewChewShoe and Butjam. These two experienced souls will be invaluable to me during this term I believe (and although Chewie has informed me he’ll be having internet issues for the first week, I’ll have Butjam to cover during this period).
And that concludes this lastest article in my CP campaign for eUK Prime Minister. If you’d like to look over my previous campaign articles you can find them here and here. I realise that there were lots of words and fewer pictures than you may have been accustomed to with a Wook article, but there was serious stuff to talk about
😉
Thank you and don’t forget to vote for me, WookieO, on the 5th.

Strong cabinet, are you looking for any other roles?
I'm going to need deputies in all ministries and I know with your article skills a MoHA position would be up your street if you fancy it?
Do you need a Minister of Education or are you not going to have one? That would be a preferred role...
I was going to mainly have that under the MoHA role, but as I did for Ent, I can open up a Minister role in that position.
I'm not telling you how to run your campaign, but if you are opening a role for that I will fill it.
I've got more MoEd ideas then just articles by the way.
In which case welcome on board 🙂

This needs to be used more...
Don't worry Wayne, I was planning on bringing that into the mix at some point.
This is why we backed you for CP... A man of the people \o/
Oh yeah, Minister of Entertainment. Wook4CP! \o/
Wook for CP cos he isnt PC o7

Same old faces appear again in the cabinet. Get Chaz back over here and let him fill all the roles. Stop having a boring life, stop having a boring cabinet
I've opened it up to applications too though, only the main figures are decided so far.
ya and the main figures are mainly the same old same old, hopefully this is all arouse to trick the others into voting for you then you will reveal your real main cabinet
Don't give the game away Maxi...
yer ssssssssssssssh Max......
Someone whose sole experience in government is 1 term in congress should not be running for CP. It's just vanity and arrogance to do so.
You haven't even been deputy MoFA never mind MoFA. How do you expect to lead on an international level when you don't know anyone? You should take 3-4 months to actually get experience before you charge in for the top job.
Embarassing
Taking an online game this seriously.
Beyond embarrassing.
Do you not understand the concept of winning? Maybe next time you fight in a battle you should go in with q1 weapons?
You need to have experience and contacts to be properly equipped to be CP. Usually if someone wants to run for CP they take the time to actually get some, they don't just run straight away. Normally PPs aren't stupid enough to support anyone who does, but I guess we're reduced to this. Chewie bought off with a Vice Presidency.
Bet at Christmas your family can hardly wait until it's your turn in Pictionary.
Keers, take a hike lad and stop flying the TUP flag. Frankly it's just embarrassing the fact that you're trying to mock Wookie and gain Talon support at the same time. I didn't get any of this when I released articles so just back off and if you don't like eUK politics with Wookie heading the charge then sod off.
Thanks for your time,

Run a decent candidate, with some experience. All this is doing is setting Wookio up for a fall, and shoving the responsibility for foreign affairs onto me.
Sam010, I guess when you play games you just don't learn the rules and lose badly every time. At least that's what you do in erep.
Longshotzz, weren't you running for President but failed? Man up son.
"...and shoving the responsibility for foreign affairs onto me."
Orrrr if it does go wrong you could just ignore the whole situation. I'm sure a grand total of zero shits would be given that you didn't 'save the day'.
I have learned something from you though, going forwards I will only consider playing Monopoly after having a career developing property, Mouse Trap after working in pest control and chess after controlling some dystopian future where I command all the radiation affected citizens.
Running and then due to a slight error with the way eRep works I couldn't join a party in time to get support. But FYI Keers, I had support and was gonna stick it out to the end. eRep game mechanics is what screwed me over, not my inability to "man up".
and TUP say that New Era take this game too seriously...
When erep first launched did people wait 3-4 months before running for the top positions? I doubt it.
People will take the game at their own pace and we should let them. No body has a right to hinder them.
That being said, I do understand completely where you are coming from and to an extent I agree. However, it is a show of maturity to accept that one cannot control everything in life.
Little disappointed in the same names throughout the article! Main reason I supported you is because I assumed you'd bring fresh faces in; this is just a remake of the last 859787587 cabinets we've had.........
The eUK is bleeding both activity and citizens, in part due to the very low levels of innovation from government in making things interesting. Every term is the same, and all of our fun is dictated by foreign affairs rather than anything of interest internally.
I also feel your campaign has taken a turn from being edgy and interesting to a regular CP run. You should stick with the general theme of the past few runs/articles, which got you the support you have now.
It's like you've become a whole new wookie since your last articles! Me = disappoint.
He gets grief for being a 'joke' candidate, then when he does a slightly srs one he gets grief again.
You have to work with what you are given. You can't force people to do a cab job and trust me, he's asked...
This is pretty bad strategic planning.
-The people who want a serious CP are claiming he doesn't have the right experience anyway, now that he's become 'serious'.
-On the other hand, turning serious to appease the serious crowd (which hasn't worked) is now putting off previous supporters from the lulzy crowd.
In the end he's being left with fewer supporters than he had just 24 hours ago, this has been a pretty big error in judgement because now we just have another Talon running; out of the two Talons, Talon himself would obviously be the preferable candidate.
Wook was doing good to set himself apart until now.
How do you make an article about cabinet positions fun and exciting? he's simply stating the basics of what he expects.
"out of the two Talons, Talon himself would obviously be the preferable candidate."
If Talon ran against Talon, Talon can't lose. I see your logic.
I am interested in getting involved and helping out, what cabinet positions are left?
oh and I forgot to say: wook4CP
Looking great WookieO!
You had me at Butjam.
EDIT: there has been a change to my plans for the Ministry of Health, which I have now outlined above.
