My Previous Article and Govt's in Erep work as the one's in RL
srk66
Hii,
I just wanted to clear out few things about my last article.
Well What all I mentioned in my last article is my view point. It's based on the experiences I have seen or faced.
For those who have blamed me that i'm writing articles only for getting political benefits or with some stupid agenda. They are the ones Who have an agenda and follow the instructions or views of people who are working on their agenda.
There is something called as Freedom of Press. Please go and learn about it.
For those who termed me as Hostile and Unfriendly.
Why haven't you guys come forward and tried to be friendly with me and offered help. Try to think and Introspect about it yourself.
I was also been abused as A - Hole by someone who felt offended by the previous article.
I have asked for help in the congress thread hoping for help from the senior members. There has been No proper response (I got some food from one person) and only one topic was being highlighted regarding Contribution and Taxes. Then I gave up on Hope of getting help from senior members. I also asked about tax exemptions. I wrote articles about it. I think they have given me a special exemption of not including me in a new congress message thread.
DISCLAIMER
This is my Analysis. (Some people might find it as a critic's article only for those who are interested)
Government's in Erep work like those in RL.
After writing an article. I was offered food and was refunded the amount of contribution which I have made as a Congress member to the head. I felt it was like reimbursement policy implemented by RL govt's which is being given to common people after they make full payment from their pockets. They'll be refunded back the entire amount paid by them from the govt.
I Felt this as the biggest similarity between both the governments.

It is just impossible to do tax exemptions to anyone (or) set custom tax exceptions for citizens based on their income. The game mechanics does not allow that. It is always x% of what you earn from working/purchasing. While you contribute 10 cc to the treasury, a 10x stronger citizen would be contributing 100 cc to the treasury. The money in our treasury is very important during wars.
Agreed govt in the game will work like RL govt. Because we citizens play the game like RL citizens (Either we don't care what the govt. is doing or we keep barking instead of actually doing something to fix it)
Thank you witty.
In RL I think barking part is done by other parties.
"I have asked for help in the congress thread hoping for help from the senior members. There has been No proper response"
"Why haven't you guys come forward and tried to be friendly with me and offered help. Try to think and Introspect about it yourself."
dude are you for real?
1) Murthu gives you food, you send it back.
2) At least 2 people explain to you the tax system, you still cry about it anyway.
3) Your congress donation is refunded, you make it sound like it's a bad thing.
4) I offer you help, you thank me and say you gave up hope of getting help from senior players.
Look, maybe you got a bad response in the congress thread, but people have come forward once you published the first article itself. But you choose to only see the downside and then crib about it like a 5 year old girl. Of course some people will see you as hostile, especially so close to president elections. Of course you're going to look like you have an agenda.
I understand that it's hard to come back after a gap. When I quit eRepublik for a brief period of about 5-6 months or so, I had trouble getting back to the groove of things. It took me almost a week to get back on track. With a long break like yours, I can only imagine how hard it is for you. But that's why we're trying to help.
The world is not all rainbows and bright flowers but it's not all dark and gloomy either. You ask for help, we offered. Now it's up to you to take it or cry over it. Completely your choice.

Murthu gave me food just after making the contribution. I messaged him why did I send back the food.
2) At least 2 people explain to you the tax system, you still cry about it anyway.
I'm expressing my views. Not crying over things.
3) Your congress donation is refunded, you make it sound like it's a bad thing.
Congress donation was refunded with enough of stupid and foul speech in the comment
4) I offer you help, you thank me and say you gave up hope of getting help from senior players.
Well I thanked you for coming forward to help. But I felt dejected due to few things which made say like that.
"I understand that it's hard to come back after a gap. When I quit eRepublik for a brief period of about 5-6 months or so, I had trouble getting back to the groove of things. It took me almost a week to get back on track. With a long break like yours, I can only imagine how hard it is for you."
I came back to my account empty handed. So I had nothing in my account. No Gold and nil balance and Empty Storage. Tell me How should I take the things forward.
I felt a very bad experience with the congress thread.
I'm not crying over anything.
I don't have any agenda.

1) If you know why you have sent back the food, then don't complain that you are being ill treated. It was your decision alone to send back the food.
2) Asking the same question over and over again despite getting a proper answer is not expressing your opinion. In my opinion, it's nothing short of crying. In principle I would use tougher language, but since you have enough problems I don't plan to create one more.
3) If you think 1k cc out of 2.5k cc that you got for congress member is too much, then I can't do much more than offer you my help. However if I was in your place, then rather than go round and round in negative criticism I would have suggested something that might be useful to a player returning to an empty account.
4) I feel dejected because my crush didn't watch me play football even though I asked her to. That does not mean that I can complain about less than good defence on the part of my teammates.
If you want to take things forward then make a plan, figure out what you have and need, and see if people around can help with the rest. I am ignoring the congress thread for this term, you can too.
Every Person has their own view point which is different from another person. You have replied according to your views and I have done the same in the first place according to my view.
1) It was done at a wrong time. (I explained it earlier - No point of crying over it again buddy)
2) I feel it as seeking more clarity. Trying to know more about it in detail.
3) As per my condition on that day it was definitely too much.
4) I can't comment on your Personal life problems in RL to the one in Erep.
You are the senior player please think of a plan to help the weak and deserving.
Can't completely ignore the one which has hurted me.

1) are you saying we should consult a priest and donate only at an auspicious time?
2) asking the same question will give you the same answer. If you need more clarification, ask specific questions.
3) If you needed the gold on that day, you can just tell someone and donate after a few days. I have done that many times. People will understand.
4) I don't need your advice for my RL. I'm just drawing an analogy. Just like you expected to solve my own RL problems, I expect you to be able to solve your in-game problems. And for the 157'th time: if you do need help, just ask. Don't sit and cry behind an article.
If all you want to do is complain about this, that and the other, and make a fuss over some verbal abuse then nobody can help you. Not me, not the CP, not some scheme, not yourself, not even God. Because even there you'll only see the negatives.
I understand that coming back is hard. But when I came back, didn't touch my newspaper until I had a constructive article. Instead I wasted my time on productive things like working, training, etc.
The only thing you asked for in the Congress thread was gold. I never had the courage to lend anybody gold to anyone who is into the game just few days back.
Yeah i know you are a very old player.. Doesn't mean much.
Freedom of press is never one sided.. You had pretty strong opinion about the cp... But no one should have any strong opinion about you. Someone abused my mother in the name of freedom of speech... You just have to set your own standards
Ask a question you will usually get an answer. Express an opinion and you will only get an opinion in reponse
Freedom of press is never one sided - Agreed
You had pretty strong opinion about the CP - Only because I felt his response was not good.
But no one should have any strong opinion about you - I Just wanted to clear out for those who had strong opinion only because they misunderstood me or were in dilemma.
You just have to set your own standards - I have set my own and high standards and I adhere to them.
(Unlike the idiot who abused me as A-hole)

Attrition rate of players is very very very high.
It took me a year - of logging in daily for me to get my full gold loan, that too from Calvin, the most generous player in this community. While Gold has lost some of its value, it isn't valueless.
Just like no one will give you money the very first day you meet them. Building trust takes time.
Support the govt, get along with EVERYONE. And you might just cultivate something you'll cherish and have fun with.
Attrition of players will be pretty high in number.

I came up with this Idea years ago and We have developed this program and tried to work on it and implemented it as a pilot project. But had to stop it because there were hardly any new citizens and few of them left.after being given support under this program.
I thought " I will get the support from the players who know me earlier.". I don't think you know me much earlier.
Unfortunately my best friends are all dead now or else I wouldn't have any need to ask these many senior players.
There has been not so good response which I have expected from the senior members now.
(BB4CP) Bring Back BB
