[USA] Would you like a communist military?
Citizens,
Recently Josh wrote an article titled Frost/McFarland for February: Helping the Military..... He covered two basic ideas, Strength Equals Victory & Rank Equals Wreckage. He outlined some plans for increasing the strength and rank of the military. He covered them pretty well, so I won't go any further into those plans. Let's talk about work communes.
I have put a lot of gold into supplying the MI with companies and upgrading the forts system. At least 400-500. I have no desire to drag up links and details, but it's significant. I mention this only to point out that I have seen the results. The MI has been able to accomplish much, much more. Every dollar goes farther, because they are able to self-supply much more then they could before. They are much more self-sufficient.
Naturally, this success has more to do with the organizational skills of beerman616, Seuss, GoalieBCSC, and others, since they made everything work. The success should also be rightly attributed to every patriot in MI who works for minimum wage in these companies, producing the tools of war for their themselves and their peers. My only contribution was to empower them to maximize their own potential. I'd like to do the same for the entire military.
So, I'd like to make a simple offer to the entire eUSA Military. I'll pay for whatever work communes you want. This offer is open-ended, regardless of who wins this election. There is no upper limit to the price tag. I enjoy my time here, it's worth the investment, and I want to see the eUSA Military rise to ever greater heights. I strongly believe that work communes are a step along this path.
Let's make the eUSA military the most powerful, most efficient machine we can manage, right now, in V1. Later, when V2 comes, we will adjust fire. Let's worry about the present, since we have no arrival date for the future. We can cross that bridge when we come to it.
To be perfectly clear, I offer to pay for the following:
1. Whatever organizations the military needs.
~ These might be used for item distribution and/or holding companies.
2. Whatever companies the military needs, within these parameters:
~ Manufacturing and Constructions companies will be purchased from the USA companies for sale market; they will only be located within the original 51 regions. New companies will only be built if there are no companies for sale at reasonable prices. Additionally, if the military currently operates any manufacturing or constructions companies overseas, I will buy those from them for market resale, and provide them with equivalent companies located in the original 51 regions.
~ Land companies will be handled similarly for high grain/oil/wood. High iron/diamond companies can be located in any allied nation, though I prefer iron companies in Karnataka. I will provide the eUSA export license for any iron/diamond companies overseas.
3. Whatever company upgrades the military needs, within these parameters:
~ Weapons: Only Q1/3/5. The cost/benefits ratio for Q2/4 sucks.
~ Moving Tickets: Only Q1/3. The Q2 ones are pointless, and Q4/5 have poor cost/benefit ratios.
~ Food: Any Q1/2/3/4/5 requested.
~ Gifts: Only Q1. The cost/benefits ratio for Q2/3/4/5 sucks.
~ Land: Only Q3/4. The cost/benefits ratio for Q1/2/5 sucks.
~ Houses: Any Q1/2/3/4/5 requested.
~ Infrastructure: Stay away from my monopoly.
In summary, I will pay for whatever work communes the military can staff with their workers.
Some of you may be wondering if this is possible. It sounds expensive, doesn't it? Relax. It's fine. To put things in perspective for you, I pulled some info from my real life bank statements. In the past quarter (90 days) I spent $7,925.25 on eRepublik. Mind you, this figure is in real money.
Guess what? This is within my quarterly budget for leisure activities. I enjoy my time here, or I wouldn't be here. I spend my money freely on the things in life that I enjoy. So, it's fine.
Don't worry about the price tag for my plan. If the military wants to improve their efficiency with work communes, then I've got them covered, 100%. It's as simple as that. Let's empower them.
V/r,
Max

Also, are you a famous person, IRL? *gasp*
Also, damn you Alfred, if I didn't have to type so much, I'd be second by now...

As a proud fighting member of the mighty eUSA Mobile Infantry, and diligent worker in one of Max/MI self-supplying companies, I can attest to the pure awesomeness of work communes.
When you fight, you're helping your corps & country. When you work, you're helping your corps & country.
Whatever you may lose in terms of pay, you make up for with extra weapons & MT's. Which, if you're in the military, is what you spend your extra money on anyway.
We are very lucky to have such a generous sponsor who is willing to commit rl $$ to these work commune projects. They could eventuate with eRepub $$ alone given enough time & human resources, but this is a fantastic opportunity to fast-track a self-sufficient military machine.
I implore all eUSA's decision makers to seriously consider Max's offer. For everyone else who wants this to happen, simply vote Frost/McFarland in the next election.

I can personally vouch for this type of system working as I implemented one very similar to it for the eUS Airborne some time ago and it works like a charm.
$7,925.25 wow
Voted, In Max we trust.
A great gesture!
Voted.
Wow. Just wow. Did you see my comment on Josh's last article? How are you going to get Congress on board with the tank training match program? Or is that gonna be out of your own pocket too?
I don't know what this means, but I like it!
That makes me feel REALLY good about the ~$90 I spent last year.
I can agree with spending money on things that are fun in life, but eight-thousand dollars on eRepublik? And that's probably not even getting close to his total.. McFarland must be quite wealthy, or else spending money on this game would be the last thing on his mind. >.>
Holy crap Max! Your just so damn generous! You really have enable the MI to become a legitimate mobile fighting force! You are a true patriot sir!
If Max gets elected as VP these private sector projects will become government-backed.
Government-backed communism? Ol' Joe McCarthy will be spinning in his grave. Don't vote for unAmerican packages, vote Zoli for a term of apple pie, happy endings and shooting kids on your lawn.
God bless America!
Holy crap - eCan loves you too!
Great job max
The entire Crimson Order operates within a work commune, we are self supplied and growing fast. The system works, and he's offering to bankroll the whole thing? Accept!
Max McFarland, if the public is foolish enough to reject you, move to Canada
Impressive Max! You have enabled the MI to become much more effective, we will always consult you when needing any type of upgrades.
the benifits for the military would be great.....as seen with the MI the commune system works upgradeing our military in this way would soon level up and we could have a military full of potential tanks! way to go MAx a true american patriot!
Dammit McFarland, I thought I spent a lot of money on this game. Wow bro, that's outstanding! The Admins must LOVE you!
Perhaps you'd like to take a little holiday to eCanada sometime? I could set you up in a nice place in Alberta or Ontario? Perhaps you'd like the old cities in Montreal? You're more than welcome to come up here for a month. The exchange rate is good right now ))
.... wow... thats a lot of meow mix for frost
MAXMAXXX
And yes, the Crimson Order in Canada is a testament to the effectiveness of commune-style military organization.
If you think America is a powerhouse now, set this up and see the heights you can attain.
damn, must be nice! 7900 in RLM. I'll send you my address loan me fiddy I'll pay ya back tuesday.
BULL FUCKING SHIT.
Try and hurt my already fragile eUSA economy with this crap and we'll have another NEDM on our hands!
This would destroy the weapons industry. Think things through before you go making articles!
Josh, to put that in beer terms, that's 46 kegs of Guinness or 90 kegs of Killian's. What a patriot! That's a lot of beer sacrificed to the Admin.
Get this man a cookie!!!!
Max,
Thank you for stepping forward in this incredibly positive fashion. As the military expands we need to develop funding sources beyond the budget we receive from the government.
This model is tested and true; most branches already have substantial "self-sufficiency" efforts underway. To the people that disagree with this method, how much do you want your taxes to be increased?
Maxxxx
FROST MCFARLAND FOREVER!
Wow. What do you do in real life that gives you that kind of leisure money? (You dont have to answer) Thank you.
Max 4 Prez in March!
$7,925.25 lmao you should get a admin account from eRep or medal or something.
Maxxx to the Maxxx!
McFarland is richer than god
Damn you are rich Max
Thanks!
Patriotism or addiction?
Unless you're a millionaire, isn't that a bit sad?
MAX MAXXXXXXX!!!
MM2 FTW. You're like our Parter except you're not a cheating douche.
Is it fair to Mr. Clean that y'all can do such a far better job? I'm in. This is like October surprise, but what do we call it?
Serious respect is due to you Max. Not for the cash you've put in, but more for the time and effort.
One point I'd make though is that the whole Frost Joke thing wears a bit thin pretty rapidly. I'd rather have you as POTUS. That we haven't cracked E-UK is a bit scandalous. You have consistency and are reliable. I have the impression that Frost is frankly doing it between drinks for a laugh.
They had Parter.
WE HAVE MAXMCFARLAND 2!!!!
Way to make us all feel poor max :p
Max is a baller IRL... I thought it was bad I spent like 250 bucks on my company upgrading/gold for lana.. lol
Holy fucking shit, I wish I made 8k dollars in 3 months... nevermind blowing that much on a game...
Can you come to Canada and share some of that love? We (the Crimson Order) have been communing Canadians in the same fashion and we are having troubles getting any support from our government never mind an endless supply of Gold.
Seems like you are trying to buy the votes from people..
Unvoted
$7,925.25 is a fuckton of money. God bless you, sir.
You've done much for this community and especially the USA.
Respect
x2
communism = fail
communist soicalist i would love for America to become either one and remember communist is not a systeme of governemt it is actually oposite it is when a socialist nation runs and makes the government no longer needed.
Voted, and supported. Never in my life would I think I would support communism, but in a simulated reality, it seems to work wonders.
I hope this plan will be implemented, although I am a new citizen, so my word means nothing.
Max,
I hope you're as amazing in the real world as you appear to be here.
We pretty much already have a communist military, and I like it. o/ Army does this same thing and it works great.
Jesus Christ dude
You have spent that much for a game?
What do you do for a living?
MM2 will literally sell his parents house to play eRep.
Jesus Christ. Yay for rich people.
I love you Max.
Communism works.
holy shit, that is dedication
I am only a humble soldier, but I am yearning to join the Worker's Cadre. I want to liberate decadent France, UK, Serbia, and Tsarist Russia (hey, if the Romanovs and GLaDOS dissappear in Yekaterinberg, I didn't see a thing).
Will I get a Mao jacket and a cap with a little red star?
From each according to his/her abilities, to each of his/her needs.
Yay! Roleplay! Unleash my inner Commie!
OMG!
Max to the max!
Rock on friend.
Max you da man! Thank you!
I STAND READY TO WORK FOR MAXXXX
don't we already have those?
I admit when I first started playing this game I was unsure of your motives max, but now I am at least 90% sure you are just a True American Hero.
Wouldn't it be crazy, though, if max had a master plan to eventually topple the entire American economy and government Tyler Durden style. Hahaha...
Holy shit. Rich man.
But (sadly, in some ways), victory in eRep is decided by he who has the most funds. So I applaud you for your generosity and patriotism.
Makes me think I need to put out an ad for a sugardaddy to fund my tanking habits. xD
damn i wish i had 7 almost 8k
This means that Max spends roughly 145 Golds every day.
I can maybe afford in average 4-5 Golds a day. Yep, he is 30 times stronger than I am.
im sure admins love u like their own child..
gratz
tearyeyes.jpg
So... Much... Win...
WOW!!! great offer. though as a friend..lol I must say you need a new hobby. then again Im new here.. maybe Im missing something thats worth $2,500/mo..
I mean Join every MMORPG or something and get to actually play all day, one that is not always under maintenence or server not responding..with actual graphics instead of clicky/text based like it was when I first got on the net back in 1992.
maybe..travel the world, buy a turn by turn conquer the world game for $50 bucks..or all of them..a small car to use in the crash up derby, skydiving lessons, etc..
I don't know wether you are insane.... or insane.. but I definatly voted for ya. Good luck!
Hot damn, I underestimated you.
"I spent $7,925.25 on eRepublik. Mind you, this figure is in real money"
holy crap :eek:
MaxMaxxxxxx
Dude... You need to think of spending less on helping us...
Still, very, very awesome. Good luck, MM. You have my support, for what it's worth.
$7,925.25
Holy Crap! What was that 25 cents spent on?
That 25 cents was spent on a shoe shine from Dish
I'm up for it, let's bring some Red Alert 2 to this game!
no good american likes communism, you shoulda said "independent" military
Max, you are a madman. The MI is grateful though.
Play the game, don't pay your way out of everything ;/
Wow man. now I wont feel too bad about Eden kicking our ass!. You spent almost 8000 dollars?????
From eIran
Wow 7,925.25 that is over 7 times what I have to live on in real life.
Holy smokes, thats huge cash..
Voted, your one hell of a guy Max. On a side note..my application to the MI is floating around there somewhere. I can't wait.
