DoD Orders Oct. 18 [Day 698, 07:00 eRep] - TRAINING WAR
USA Department of Defense
My fellow Americans and Emerick:
Fight for rank, experience and wellness in the Malayasian/Phillipines Training War that will start later in the day today. Orders will be updated with a link once the battle has started.
Knowledge is (Fire)Power

Educate yourself on smart warfare techniques by reviewing this article by Secretary of Defense Joe DaSmoe.
Friendly Firepower Program
Population. Our enemies are numerous but they also are have the advantage of ranking up. Hungary had its babyboom long before ours. The game is linear. The longer you play, the stronger you become. The only counter to this is gold and lots of it. If we are ever to drive the Huns from our lands, then we must recruit a new generation of eUSA player.
The eUS government and eUS Military are proposing the Friendly Firepower Program. We are asking each active citizen to recruit one friend. Teach them to play the game. Help them. Mentor them. Direct them to the forums. Get them on to IRC. Get them involved and invested in our goal of driving out the invaders.
If you look at the population stats for the game, you would think the eUSA has thousands more citizens than Hungary. This is deceptive. That is total accounts. We need more ACTIVE ACCOUNTS. We need more ACTIVE CITIZENS.
We aren't asking you to shoot for a society builder medal. We're asking you for one friend. Recruit one friend to win.
Be Prepared
Weapons prices are ridiculously low in the eUSA right now. Buy cheap weapons now before prices increase with demand.
ATTENTION n00bs and allied friends: TRAP COMPANIES IN THE eUSA
There are currently 2 trap companies operating in the eUSA. These are being operated by Russians with the intent to stifle US growth and unsuspecting players from getting their Hard Worker medals and gold.
DO NOT WORK IN THESE COMPANIES OR RESIGN

Company for New Players - This is the worst as it is clearly targeting n00bs. Pretty low.

What is a trap company?
A company set up with no raw materials or currency for salaries. The company will offer high wages to attract unsuspecting job seekers. But with no currency or RMs, the workers cannot work. For uneducated n00bs, this means frustration with the game and usually leads to potential players abandoning the game. I say uneducated because a worker in this situation can RESIGN immediately and find other work. But n00bs don't know this. They are just looking for the highest paying jobs. A n00b can only do 2 things: work and train. If you can't do one, you probably won't bother to stick around.
Admins have been repeatedly contacted about this practice but they continue to ignore this. It is up to us for now.

Incredible fight in Manitoba yesterday. We had them on the ropes. Thanks eUSA!
Voted! The trap company warning is a welcome addition to the DoD Orders. Is "Company for New Players" (another trap) down already?
Good article Harlot

There are actually three trap companies,

CIA Stock No 05 CIA Stock No 05
Company For New Players
Last night I spend 2 hours removing over 1,600 job offers of level 0 from these companies, although they just put up 999 more this morning who knows how many noobs I saved so it was not all in vain.
Regarding the methods I used, I submitted a ticket against myself.
Hello,
Thank you for your report!
We are aware of the issue, but your way is not the one to counter it. It is indeed illegal, and we must ask you to discontinue doing it. The solution of the problem is in the making, and it will hopefully come out soon.
Regards,
The eRepublik Team
Guess I can't do that then 🙁
At least they say they are working on it, hang in there america 🙂
GO yankees, spaniars are with you.
Informative Article for new players and that's what I like seeing. Voted.
Wait, I didn't know that Nigeria even existed in eRepublik, much less had a deposed Finance Minister in league with Moscow!
patafixxxxxxx
Cheers moot, good to know that they're working on a fix!
First page
I actually just submitted an idea to make it so that if a company has any active job offers and an employee works and cannot (due to no money or raw materials) to make it so that it removes the job offers until the company can get it figured out what it is doing 🙂

It seems to me that the admins ignore everything.

PLEASE VOTE & SUB
lol "my fellow Americans and Emerick"
Good advice
thanks again, US
Is there anyway we could possibly flag new players to make sure they know NOT to take a job with these companies? Maybe we can implement a sub-comitee through the welcoming commitee to notify any player about these bogus companies. I'm surre some of our allies are dealing with similar problems, how are they handling it?
Great ideas Moot. In the meantime, why not setup similar trap countries in the countries of the offending douchebags? This is a game, I'd have no moral qualms about it.

Yeah I was one of the n00bs deceived by these trap companies. Spread the word and educate all new players regarding these evil companies operating in eUSA.
Pay attention young n00bs of USA! 😃

Good idea Anna. Maybe the welcoming committee could send a PM to all the employees at these trap companies.
What rubs my fur the wrong way is how they "make fun/HUMILIATE our unfortunate inexperienced fellow citizens!
...(their LITTLE private JOKE: (posted on company page)
Skill Level: $
1 20 USD
2 12.82 USD
3 12.8 USD
4 12.75 USD
5 6.23 USD
(...apparently, by the time they finished posting to lev 5. they were lol so much they couldn't TYPE anymore!)
PM those...(cannot, legally insert ACCURATE descriptive term here)!
This game seems pretty cool. I will try to do my part.
Its not easy being a noob, and friendless...
Thanks for the info!

I'm new to erepublic. I was suspicious of the Dept of Labor's pay scale and when I saw that it was way overstaffed I simply thought that it might go out of business soon. I didn't think it was some trick to undermine the USA. If I can make a humble suggestion. When a new person signs up to erepublic, and chooses their country and state, maybe at that time they should get a message from the president of the country. The message could serve as a welcome/mission statement and guide to new citizens. I understand this would be an admin change and not something a country or president can just do at present.

PUBLIUS FIST
COPY AND PASTE THIS PUBLIUS FIST AND SEND IT TO 5 OF YOUR FRIENDS OR YOU'RE NOT A REAL PUBLIUS
i have also entered in a trap company but i resigned after 5 tries to do my job.
i don't know how, maybe you can resign when there is no money in your company account for some time...
sorry for bad english 😃
Have we go back to our home? or, do you think that is possible another battle today and the next days???
This country is poorly managed.
I am a foreign worker, I want to work and fight in this country. But wen I want to join this training war, the war is already closed. POOR TIMMING.
Nigeria never existed in erepublik, if it does i will go there for retirement.
XD NO ENTIENDO JAJAJAJAJA UDS TAMPOCO JAJAJAJAJAJA

buena noticia.
Un saludo desde españa.

I see only 1 (one) grain company that will hire players with a minimum experience of 0-0.99 - guess which one it is? Company for New Players - seems like the noobs who want to start in this area don't have ANY options at the moment.
