Is it true you get a free Q5 fez if you do?

Yes It is o/ Its Feztastic

UKRP endorses JB <3

Here we go! I look forward to the eChancellor bring out the red briefcase...

JB for PM!

thanks for the support.

I think your progression breakdown has been skewed by the dead people who were migrated equally across each skill.

I'd also be wary about having each weapon-related skill equal: as the war module clearly shows that if you don't have high damage and attack you will die pretty quickly. This means defensive and durable weapons are not as useful, thus won't be in as much demand. It also means there shouldn't be an equal amount of fiters/mechanics/engineers/technicians: Engineers and technicians will be in demand because more customization points are being used in damage and offence (and thus more productivity points required)

Is it true jamesw is a chav?

JB FOR CP!!!11!eleventyone!

I look forward to dish as our new Palace Teaboy (and I hope I can be his assistant... In fact... PLEASE! DISH! GIVE ME ANY ROLE!...)

the information included contains snap shot of all the players within the eUK on the date specified in the article. This was made clear at the bottom.

It is important to include all possible variations as an average for industries and just because a certain customization set up may be preferred at the moment does not mean that it will be so in the future.

Vote JB!!

Vote for JB or face the wrath of Gaga.

VOTE JB AND WEAR A FEZ! \o/

I wouldn't want to face the wrath of Gaga, so you should probably vote for me 😐

OK I see a few issues with this.

Firstly you seem to think that we have too many harvesters as a % at the minute. This is nothing short of ridiculous. The demand for harvesters in the UK is huge- I would say that we have less than half the number we need. The idea we need more fitters than harvesters defies belief. A simple look at the job market shows that this is total rubbish.

Your industry breakdown represents the companies in existence from v1, not the ones currently active. Which is why there are so many rifles. In fact, after the second migration, there will be very few rifles left, as I guess most people will migrate to tank.

Employment rates have nothing to do with people knowing where to work, or whatever. Unemployed people are mostly inactive, not counting the few between jobs.

This is a comment. Make of it what you will.

The basics of the war module is to kill people before they kill you. High durability is useless; war isn't about being cost effective. High defence is useless; because you'll have to settle for a weaker weapon (taking more turns to kill someone) or a less attack-minded weapon (you won't be able to hit them, and they won't be able to hit you)

You shouldn't encourage people into a setup which would create weapons which will ensure people join the battlefield and are insta-killed; people will just get bored, and we'll make no impact. Firstly, because obviously, we'll never win anything, and secondly, because the market has naturally created the demand for attack and damage minded weapons; so you're really creating supply where there is no demand.

I disagree Jamesw; Helicopters need good defence when we're taking tiles from the enemy to help secure a region. Due to our low attack, we need the necessary defence in order to not be instantly shot and and can continue with our main purpose in battlefields 😒

JB is right, pass it on~

Actually Iain due to the high wages that were there from the start of V2 alot of players converted in to harvesting to get in on the action. This increase has led to there being too many for the job. Any player with over skill 1 in harvesting can be a harvester, however some players choose to pursue other careers yet they are still capable of being a harvester should they choose.

Also the companies represented are companies that at the time had at least 1 employee on the date mentioned (this was gathered after V2 had started). Companies with 0 employees would not be picked up and therefore it can be assumed that the companies included are active as they have an employee and contribute to the employment rate.

As for unemployment rates having nothing to do with people knowing where to work, well I don't think it ever says that it does. It says OVERALL the data shows.

@SHA - When your attacker has 80 or more attack (p much anyone who can do decent damage) then 100 defence reduces the chance to hit to only 52%: so someone who does 20 damage will severely wound you in 8 turns instead of 4. So you'd need 80 or more attack, and damage of ~15, depending on your chance to hit and the random modifier.

So instead of having a chance at killing someone, you'd die in the first or second fight, unless you spent gold healing/find a hospital.

The best offence is a a good deterrent: not a good defence.

JB 4 lyf

JB I'm sorry- but current formulas mean that for RM to be there for manu companies to work, at least 40% of the global productivity needs to be in harvesting. Fair enough, we only have 2 high resource regions, but I think 25% is a conservative estimate of how many harvesters we really need.

Also, is this calculation based on current occupation or highest skill? Because I'm a guru* carpenter but I get better wages as a skill 5 harvester, so I work there.

Finally, assuming that active companies= 1 employee is stupid. I have 4 shut down companies with more than 1 employee. In addition, even if they were running, you should be able to look beyond the data and ask "Are that many rifle companies running because of genuine demand now, or as a carry-over from demand in v1?" I think most of the world agrees it is the latter.

As for unemployment, you have basically said "this data shows..." then a completely unconnected piece of information. Please don't try and use unemployment stats to show anything, everyone knows all they show is that half our population is inactive.

@Iain

It's based on all skills. As there is no definitive way to tell which skill they are utilising it was decided to choose them all. This is why there is overlapping.

There are also active companies that are active with 1 employee. e.g. The Department for transport had 1 employee for several days yet its still active. The fact that employees come and go is a part of the game. There will be points when companies will have low number of employees whether through accidental lack of RM or lack of money. As mentioned if 1 employee is employed that's one less in the unemployment stats.

It doesn't really matter why the companies are running as long as they have employees they are still apart of the economy. Hell if you were talking about demand then there would be far more food companies than we need but they still operate and they still get added to so they are an important part of the economy.

I believe he also meant this data as a whole. I don't think he ever says this pie chart shows in regards to the unemployment.

If your intention is to show how skills should be allocated, then demand is the only measure you should be doing it by. Demand for skills is not like you say here. We DO need more than 10% harvester. Demand for weapons jobs is probably the lowest, after constructions. The highest demand sectors are: RM then food production. Weapons demand has dropped 60%.

I really don't know what these figures are meant to show, but they don't show the current makeup of the economy or where we should be heading :/

I'm voting for JB.

Good luck JB

I'll be voting Jamesw

Gluck JB!
u have my V

[removed]

Im a technician and I cant find a jerb privatly.
Harvesting jobs are eveywhere though.

10% Harvesters is well off the mark, as is increasing the amount of weapons manufacturers who already struggle to find any work.

The Civil Service shall be voting John Bartlett.
