First Issue. Hot Off The Presses!

This is my first Newspaper!
This is my first Article!
This article is all about me. Read on and maybe you'll learn a lttle about you.
Unlike many of you, I joined this game because of the allure of being a business magnate. The military conquests and politics were secondary benefits. Boy did I pick the wrong game for that! I own 4 companies through my org and I am in no way getting rich from them. I mean really....Grain prices...WTF!!
So why did I stay with the game? The social aspect is stronger than I expected. I met some friends through commenting on articles and subscribing. I met some by reading the eUS Forums (I actually have a lot of fun considering the military strategies discussed on the General Military Discussion pages). Some I met in classes at the NAU. I met my strongest friends though, by joining a political party. I spend probably too many hours chatting with my Democratic Republican friends on IRC. And through my friends I have developed a zealous interest in our military success and in eUS politics.
I never did try to join the military though. I guess I just never have liked the idea of doing something just because someone tells me to do it. I consider myself a one man Mercenary Milita (at least in my head). I'm still trying to figure that out myself though, because I blindly follow DoD orders 99% of the time, so maybe I should at least join a militia. Well we'll see how that goes in the coming weeks.
So I guess the summary of this article is a piece of advise: If you are a new citizen (or an old one who has not been very active) join a political party, join the forums, take an NAU class, join the military (or militia), or better yet join all of the above. Find yourself a group to join, because it is the friendships you make and goals that you acheive as a team that make eRep a great game/addiction.
And also if you are not in a party, join the DemReps! And if you already are a DemRep, vote for Cromstar for Party President on the 15th!

I couldn't figure out how to put pictures where I want them, or put links to the places I reference. I think those buttons don't work correctly.

Congrats on your first article, John.
Good start man!
Pity I had to resign from DemReps because of my military career.
Vote + Subscription.
🙂. Yeah, i try and be as productive as possible when i work. I'm surprised that you aren't making that much money off of 4 different companies. I just started a moving ticket company and i could make money off of it, but wages are just so high right now due to noobs and citizens who have no idea how to run a company and just try and get people to work for them even if they lose money off of it. I saw a gun company offering 6 USD for a level 3 job. How can i compete with that? And they were located in Washington, USA so he/she will go out of business. The economy is getting a re-do thank god. Can't wait for V2
Cool article, John 😉 It made me think a lot about being new to eRepublic and things like that 😉
