[Citizens' Insiders] Faces in the Crowd
"Good day, eRepublik.
For the new ‘Citizens Insiders’ campaign, I thought I would take a few minutes out of your busy schedules to discuss exactly what ‘success’ means for you in this world. If you ask 9 people what ‘success’ means, you’ll probably get 10 different answers. Some would say that success is winning the monthly presidential elections. Some would say that success is securing yourself a near-permanent foothold in Congress. Some would say that success is having a high-rolling company, or having the most currency, or the most gold, or achieving ‘Media Mogul’ status. One might even be inclined to say that success is getting one’s article posted as a citizen’s Insider; I’ll leave that part up to you.
As you’re all hopefully aware, eRepublik is a game. A digital world; however, this is not a game that can be ‘won’; our world is always progressing, developing, and moving forward, towards a brighter future. Success isn’t always winning an important battle, or having the most popular article, or being a high-ranking member in your home nation; I won’t feed you the cliché that “success is just playing the game, and having fun”. No. To succeed in this game, it’s all about connections.
I’m not implying that one has to have friends in high places, but friends are a necessity. The social networking aspect of eRepublik is one of the attributes that makes the game as popular as it is. With sites like Facebook and MySpace, there is the social networking aspect; however, eRepublik puts a military and political spin on that, creating a whole new social paradigm: countries full of people are encouraged to work towards a common goal, and are encouraged to find allies in other nations, while engaging in “friendly” competition with other nations through war. Unlike many online games, eRepublik has things to teach us, not only about our world, but about ourselves.
While the game is intended for maximum enjoyment, we can begin to grasp the way the real world works, and our place in it. To be successful, one must rely not only upon their knowledge of politics, strategy, and diplomacy, but they must know how to apply it, as well; that is, one must have wisdom. To be successful, our ultimate goal must be to learn how to bring something unique to the table, but must be able to apply that in a group setting. We must all learn to cooperate with each other. True success in eRepublik is entirely dependent on how well we work with others, and how we construct long-lasting relationships, based upon trust and mutual understanding. We must learn how best to relate to our fellow man. Ironically, individual success comes from simply realizing that, as individuals, we cannot “do it all”.
I encourage you to begin building these bridges with those around you. Start creating a close social network, and find a way to apply your talents in a group setting. Join a political party; bring your productivity to a company in need; help new players to get along in the world, or seek out someone with experience if you are a new player.
The bottom line is, learn to work together to build a better tomorrow for eRepublik. Alone, it’s hard to change the world; together, we can move mountains. Shake this world to its foundation. Reach out to everyone you can, whether your countrymen, or your allies, or even your enemies; it’s a fact that, in this world, nothing is impossible if there are enough people willing to try. Don’t let borders get in the way of this reality, because remember: truth takes no sides."

We hope you have enjoyed this article as much as we did. The topic for the next Insider is "Beta giants. A tribute to personalities that shaped the New World."

Success is succeeding in playing 40 minutes without having to stop because of a bug or a SQL error.
High Grain for Poland!
True that, admin, true that. Voted
New moduls!! we want new moduls,we are BORED!!
The game is not attractive anymore!!
Excellent.
invent new alliance system, boring is the game in this way, and thousands will leave.
give penalty for the allies who are too far away (their damage is only 0,8..0,5..0,2 effective or so, depending on their closest territory to the battlefield)
or cap the number of allies or mpp-s activated
any idea is better than the actual system.
noone attacks because of the Epic Rule Fail.
admins faster faster! new moduls new moduls! we dont care about articles like this!

SIGNED!!!
Booring...
Please implement one of the following changes (FAST):
- A country can make only max. 5 MPPs
- Fighting through MPP makes only 50% of the damage
And/or:
- Allow 10 pieces of gifts to be use per day (using Q5 gifts, it can be 50 wellness)
These changes could boost up the gift/moving industry too, could result more battles, more fun.
Voted.
So... where is my gold?! ...
Just to repeat what Alecian said 4 hours ago...
Give new resources in the eWorld! AND new products.
Everything is pretty much over produced. q4 food for example in Canada is nearly half the price it was when I entered the industry.
Also, to aid the server(s)...
PLEASE!!!! Don't you think it's about time to enter a search string or piece of code next to the company products/market so you can 'ONE CLICK' goto that particular market.
eg. to go from my company overview to check how competatively priced my goods are is currently 7 clicks. Why not reduce this to just one click with a simple box on the left of the product/country/license bit towards bottom of screen??
Vote it pls

Admin Down Erepublik now !
That's the thing about eRepublik: it's never done
Deal with the tickets fast please, since too many people are getting hacked and losing their gold.
looking forward to the next insider as well now. good stuff.
the economical aproach sucks and the suport sistem also i sent a ticket over 2 weeks ago about my friends being born dead and nothing was made
the economical mod needs to be redone and the resources must be dinamic with some resources like grain bolstered when there´s more land company´s there while others like wood or oil must be depleted (either completly or at slow replenishment rates)these new resources system would make the world politics far more interesting
Voted!
Omg! Everyone needs to read this article...So true.
ya empezaron a sacar cualquier cosa... bluff
Great article, it really helps to put everything back into a sane perspective.
tl;dr
fix avatars
Within the past several hours 20 gold has gone missing from my account loftedraptor. This appears to be happening to other players today too. This is the second time this has happened since I have been playing. I am just about ready to quit this game as the last theft has never been compensated and I have spent about $300 or more buying gold and services from EREPUBLIK. It is just not right for this to happen. This should be Number one priority for Admins!
loftedraptor
Ooh! That's exciting.
I'm absolutely sure I lost my gold because of THIS article... This is conspiracy!
Stop the hacking!

Blah to social networks. I am happy without delving into that part of the game.
Bwahaha. I'm one of the beta giants too and I'll finally get my own article in the insider.
No vote, no please, add eKosovo to eSerbia!
