Personal Plug
Most at the CPF should know my record these last two months. I have no crazy new plans for my third (and final) term, but I want to get our contests up and running and make them work well.
My PP "cabinet" is also changing up a bit, here are the members:
VPP: klop123
Election Coordinator: ElPatoDiablo
Media Leader: Randall Flagg 1999
Events Manager: TheSmoke
2nd VPP: Bryan Alexander

Good luck, Mr. President!
You have my support!
Good luck Auk.
Solid Group for the "Cabinet"
Looking forward to the Contests and maintaining the strength and unity that made the CPF the #1 party in eCanada
Thank you everyone

Good idea putting some added requirements for making the ballot. Clicking a button for candidacy does seem a bit too easy even though allowing it would seem to align with Tenet 4: "To respect, recognize and uphold the supremacy of the mechanics of the game"
Thanks for keeping things together Auk.
Good luck Auk x5
"Election Coordinator: ElPatoDiablo"
EPD has the free time to run an election? You'd think as CP he'd be busy with other duties.
@Muglack:
With the update to the Congressional System, the position is more or less honorary, and even then, I do mostly everything anyways.
So, it's a Cult of Personality thing?
Cult of Personality? Cabinet is basically just an advisory board for me
You're associating yourself with the person that won the most recent election, despite the fact that the title doesn't really mean anything and you do most of the work.
People read that, see that he's associated with you, and since they most likely voted for him you're probably the best choice.
It's a lot like Stalin taking pictures next to Lenin so people assumed Stalin had his support.
Muglack, thank you for your kind words!
Now join the party, or take care about yours!
While a PP has all the power in a party (he can choose the list for Congress and CP candidate, and there's nothing we can do for a month), we work as a group and we try to put the best ideas to work.
And I think Auk Rest did a pretty good job: #1 Party in Canada, a good relation with #2 party in Canada, the largest number of Congressmen, the CP. He wasn't alone, but as you've probably noticed, he hasn't put himself in the spotlight either.
ElPatoDiablo was Election Coordinator last time, he is merely carrying over from last month, as are most of my people.
This wasn't a tactic to buy votes, I don't move like that.
With the update to the Congress update, there isn't a need for coordination unless you plan on sending votes to other parties.
Other than writing articles pertaining the Congress list the role is limited and "useless"
Unless your implying there will be ato efforts happening in eCanada during the 15th.
If you are, then I would love to help assist you ato Clan Wolf

we gotta love Muglack right....
@Muglack where would we be without your constructive criticism
Oh Venoms III, I'd worry a bit about your threats to Clan Wolf if you weren't the Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz of eCanadian villainy.
Venoms, can you read? I just finished saying the role of ElPato is more or less symbolic. Sigh.
Then why have it.
Again, like I mentioned above. These are advisory positions to help me as PP. Please think before you speak, Venoms.
You fail dude.
A pm is all you need~
"Election Coordinating" probably is handled by PM anyhow.There isn't a special forum or IRC channel set up just to do that. Except for the title itself and a rather pointless string of comments on the topic, it doesn't get much special treatment. Certainly it's not a paid position.
"Senior Advisors," on the other hand, are raking in the big bucks for having even less responsibility than a faux coordinator. Get in on the action while you can, Venoms and Muglack. All I do is sound smart but say nothing of real consequence. "Backseat PP" is just one small example of how this skill can be applied to almost any position of responsibility.
"Backseat CP" (obviously)
"Backseat MoFA"
"Backseat MoF"
"Backseat Upholsterer"
"Backseat Bored Internet User"
Plugs I wish you would swoop in and save every Internet thread that has gone of the rails. It's your superpower.
I think people mistook what I was getting at.
I was just asking for clarification. Either it's a real position that requires someone to do the job, or he's being left in an obsolete posting for marquis value.
I guess the way people responded gave me all the answer I needed.
Congress elections are now obsolete, along with all the strategy/gameplay that once went with them. Ordering names on a list is about as far as coordinating goes.
Also, the Minister of Finance does nothing except balance the books according to a pre-established MU funding formula, minus MPP costs and possible Mercs.
The game just has little managerial depth left to it.
