Super-Commune Test-Run Shows Results

http://ikopal.com/nomoslabs/images/red-star-small.jpg" width="25px" height="24px"> You may or may not have heard of the Super Commune project currently being undertaken in Russia.
Members of the SFP (eUSA), CPSU & RWF (eRussia), PKeI (eIndonesia), Red Brigade (international), and SPP (eFinland) are participating. Comrades are on the way from the PCP (eUK). Most of the theory, and all of the press releases have come from comrade Maksim Chuikov.
I'd like to share with you a summary of our initial test run of crashing the market, and share with you what we hope to accomplish in the coming weeks.
At 5:00 eRepublik time today, 3000 units of q1 food was dumped onto the eRussian market selling at .45 rubles.
It was calculated that to break even for most companies they would have to charge .47, but as a general rule they never dipped below .60. As we speak the current price is .61. It took exactly 5 hours and 23 minutes for this food to be sold. That is actually a pretty good estimate of the market, 5:00 eRepublik time is 4:00 PM (Moscow) to 6:00 PM (Yekaterinburg) Russian time, so effectively we dominated the Q1 food market between about 5 PM and 1 AM in Russia. (This is taking into account that most Russians live in GMT +3 or +4.)
Next time I would release it at 2:00 eRepublik time, as 3 to 5 PM Russian time can be considered a 'peak' playing time. (Kids getting out of school, common work shifts getting off at 4/5, etc... or at least it is in the US, any Russians care to correct me? Razz)
This is a breakdown of sales per hour after 7:00 eRepublik time. I would have gotten updates from 05:00 to 07:00 eRep time (which is the same as US Pacific Time), but I wasn't awake. Razz
7:18 eRepublik time:
Soviet State #1. Food Reserve - 422
Red Army Vodka - 419
Excellent Vodka - 415
Soviet State Food - 422
08.02 eRepublik time:
Soviet State #1. Food Reserve - 308
Red Army Vodka - 308
Excellent Vodka - 306
Soviet State Food - 310
09:03 eRepublik time:
Soviet State #1. Food Reserve - 176
Red Army Vodka - 191
Excellent Vodka - 186
Soviet State Food - 192
10:00 eRepublik time:
Soviet State #1. Food Reserve - 60
Red Army Vodka - 53
Excellent Vodka - 49
Soviet State Food - 47
That means in the space of 2 hours (5:00 to 7:00 eRep time) the Super-Commune sold an average of 331 units of q1 food. Unfortunately I don't have the distribution between those two hours, but logically more units were probably sold closer to 5:00 than 7:00. I think it is safe to say that if we started this test a bit earlier we may have only dominated the market for 3-4 hours instead of 5, as a great deal of native Russians were probably either asleep or doing something else.
This shows you what we are able to do, and that this is going to work. With the profits obtained from that single test we managed to recoup our damages for the whole Commune program thus far. Think of what will happen if we drop 10k Q1 food on the market for .40, at 1:00 eRepublik time! I'm betting that 10k food would dominate the market for probably upwards of 8-9 hours. This will facilitate the destruction of unstable companies in the market, letting us buy up the competition and getting the ball rolling.
I come to you today with this small example. Imagine the possibilities! This is not just dumping a lot of people into a country to "Make it Communist". This is economic warfare at it's best. But we can't make this project work unless we have the support of the workers! I am asking everyone to consider forming a team of workers to come over to the Russian communes and help us.
We have a completely democratic structure, and are working on hammering out contracts for General Manager and Commissar of Trade and Labor. You can view a rough draft of our structure here:

We are currently focusing on the Q1 food market, but we intend to expand out and up to all sectors of the market as time goes on.

http://ikopal.com/nomoslabs/images/red-star-small.jpg" width="25px" height="24px"> A red salute to all of those who have sacrificed to make the first test run a success. Remember, this is a different way to play the game: internationalist, worker-centered, and turning the tables on the economic module in order to wage the kind of war that will benefit the masses of players.
Also please note:
Any of the American contingency in the Super Commune may request food from SFP Commune stockpiles in emergency situations. Moving tickets are being saved for election night for those who would be interested in moving back to the eUS to help elect our congressional candidates. Tickets will also be available as needed for other reasons. Gifts are available for anyone who overfights or otherwise is having trouble with wellness and we can decide what to do with weapons.
The Russian Commune can help with wellness. There are several hundred gifts in stock at the moment. The super-commune program will take care of any wellness drops. Just message Q1Commune.

Very nice... 😃
Wow that is sooo awesome! Workers of the world, UNITE!! I am very glad that we are doing this. I am envious of the glorious GOSPLAN super commune. This article just made me laugh, clap my hands, and scream YES! solidarity comrades!
Good to see the results of the clicking. 🙂

I just gave you guys some love. Osmany, Phoenix, Fredrick, Mark, and everyone who's at the supercommune, this shout is for you!

Haha nice diagram 😛
Voted.
You left in a few of the 'Razz'es, but that's okay. 😉
I encourage any and all comrades, especially those with higher skill ratings to consider joining us in the Russian communes! PM me, or Osmany Ramon for moving tickets.

cool, vote from eIndonesia 🙂
Great to see this is working so well!
vote ....im indonesian commune
This is a good sign, thanks for the info!
lol, good effort, but what's the point?
if you crash the market, the compagnies will have to lower wages, or close, so the workers will stay without work, then they won't have the money to buy stuff etc
Do you have what it takes to freelly provide them with everything they need. And what is the system you are counter proposing? A centralised economy? And what does a centralised economy mean from a political point of view?
I really hope you are not just being irresponsible.
Isn't that comrade Generelissimo`'s old GOSPLAN pic? Or maybe Hatebot's?
Good work anyways, I'm figuring on coming over. It depends on how I manage in the congress elections and therefor wehter I'm forced to stay or not.
However this is the way to go. We have to gather up socialists for projects like this!
Yeah, it's the old picture from wikipedia. We're going to modify it somewhat towards the original plan.
You're more then welcome back to eRussia, comrade! I'd almost ask you to bring some comrades with you but I know the situation Folket is in.

@Riggy
All profits obtained from the sale of Q1 food will go towards buying grain/food companies that close. These will then be turned into new communes.
The wheel keeps on turnin`.
Well, that's genious then 😉
well we take courage from actions like these we have our communes working in eGreece and this experiment gives us the hope to continue
Not irresponsible at all, imho. Rather a wicked cool experiment that holds out the hope of being able to eventually support expansion of workers' communes e-internationally. When (or if) communes reach a critical mass in a country, players might choose to pursue centralized policies that support them. But experience also indicates that a "nodal" or "web-like" structure of communes cooperating internationally could also work.
Awesome!
I must confess, I am superenvious of all of you supercommune workers able to travel to participate. These early results are highly encouraging!
