There have been a few articles recently in the media about saving eRep Babies.
One particular Article delves into the argument. The writer blames the "fortress strategy" for killing babies (this is a FAIL assessment, as I will soon illustrate.), and assumes to opine on everyone's motivation for playing eRep.
Yeah, they are scary when they are nubs.
"The big powers like Hungary, Indonesia, and Romania are all Q5 health care throughout. Really large countries like the USA naturally don't have health care in every one of 50 regions..."
The hose in his hand is the part that sucks...
The part we can't see is the part that blows...
oh, okay...I see what he's doing now. Sick.
Hungary is in a MUCH different geo-political situation than Canada. They share a common border with their arch enemy, Romania - who incidentally mirrors Hungary's densification of Q5 hospital and DS. This is for good reason - they are not all the way across the world from their enemies - nay, they are SURROUNDED by them.
When you are surrounded by beligerents on all sides, then YES
- making hospitals in all your regions may make sense.
Oh, and the USA has only 3 Q5 hospitals, and one is temporary - in Karnataka. To say that
"the USA naturally don't have health care in every one of 50 regions" is a lost leader.
They only have TWO in their original regions and they do FINE. To point to the UK and say:
"...even the United Kingdom of fail: all have better coverage of their regions in terms of health care than eCanada."
That is because the UK is also doing it wrong. They are wasting thousands of gold on hospitals and DS when all they had to do was not put themself in the position of being invaded (diplomacy).
The UK. Now completely surrounded will try to save
their bucket of chicken. However they too shall fail.
The writer continues: "Question: Does universal health care represent a Canadian value, or doesn't it?"
Answer: Real Life BS. Leave it at home. Real Life regional loyalty is not a logical position to defend.
Same as starting up an iron company in Quebec - that too is FAIL, but I digress...
The BIGGEST Baby Killer in eRep is the business man, as we are about to discover...
The writer owns one Organization called New Brunswick Pride. Seems innocent at first, until you take a look at the worker composition.
There are four companies in this Org, and a total of 37 dead citizens.
Slavery. It gets sh!t done
It is not as tho the nub (newborn citizen) has it all going for them to begin with. When you start out, you don't know ANYTHING (unless your name is Cesar Augustus and you just keep creating more multis everytime you get banned for creating multis). Plato in the top corner says: "Hey dumbass, get a job!" So what does the nub face in the labour market?
The Zombie loving business man. This is one scary mofo.
The Zombie loving business man does more harm to Canada
than Hungary does - yeah I really mean it.
If only the Zombie loving business man were honest to nubs. If so, the job interview would sound something like this:
GM: "Look, your zero skill really doesn't do it for me."
Nub: " Whats a zero skill?"
GM: "Look, let's cut to the chase. I know that this is a Q3 company and you were born 7 minutes ago. You know how you can benefit me?"
Nub: "Whats a Q3 company...and how do I load my avatar? I want to be level 3!"
GM: "Thats great. Shut, listen and learn. You are more valuable to me dead than alive. So why don't you just take the job and never come back. My productivity will soar, and well - you're too stupid to load a F#&*ing avatar."
Nub: "
😉o I have a choice?"
GM: "Not really. I also have a Q5 deatomizer. It will destroy your citizen. Unless you have a Q5 Quantum Harmonic Resonance Gun to counter it..."
Nub: "No, I don't think I have one of those..."
GM: "So, $1.50 per day sound fair?"
Nub: "Okay, should I just die now then?"
GM: "Yes, that would be great, thanks - oh and tell your friends to join eRep too!"
They prey upon ignorance for their own satisfaction.
But the simple fact is that not everyone is gonna be a winner and have love poured onto them by all.
Rose petals will NOT be strewn into everyone's path. Not everyone will have mountains of gold to swim thru.
Deal with it. Suck it up, Buttercup.
This is why I propose the eCanadian Social Contract.
EVERY GM should be obligated to inform their zero skill nub workers to:
A: Move to a Q5 (or 4) hospital region.
B: Manage their Wellness properly.
C: Better yet - GMs should be Forbidden from hiring babies.
Unfortunately, you can't enforce option C. Chuck Norris could, but he doesn't exist in eRep and Eugene Harlot is American, not Canadian.
I HATE it when I see companies full of dead citizens. It's not by coincidence that a construction company has 19 dead citizens and one live owner/worker. Its WEAK SAUCE! For the record, I have only singled out this particular citizen, only because he asks to be singled out. They are MANY more. Some are people you call friends. Some are people who you call Party Presidents too...
If companies were meant to be concentration camps, then they'd come full of dead citizens when you create them and you'd be able to choose which carcasses you want and which one you don't.
Couldn't have said it better myself Bill.
Be a real eCanadian and DON'T KILL OUR BABIES!

<3 Babies.
In the words of TFD, "Votado."
LOL I don't think it is 😛
Those evil baby killers .. Voted and agreed
"Real Life regional loyalty is an EPIC FAIL position to defend."
Wow. Just because someone is proud of where they live, doesnt mean it can't relate to their game expierence. What a broad, ridiculous statement.
Popandlock,
I live in BC in real life. I've seen the rest of the country and still I would only live here. I've been to the Yukon, the Maritimes (only other place I'd live other than BC - and thats only if BC were to be destroyed by an earthquake and swallowed by the sea and I somehow survived), Quebec, Toronto - er, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta. I've been told about Saskatchewan.
However, this is a game. I want to fight 5 times a day and not 4.
Real Life does not = eRepublik
I agree 100%. But whatever I choose to make this game more fun, shouldnt be called a FAIL. My friends and I started a region specific group, that would like to make Atlantic Canada a more exciting expierence,instead of moving to Ont, Alb, or Que. I see it as a challenge, trying to improve the country. I dont expect everyone to understand, but please dont call my position ridiculous.
Very well.
I editted the article.
Cheers.
For the record, it is my opinion that NFLD and NS should be our 2 fortress regions, for obvious reasons.
But we ALL know that not everyone would leave their 'home region' and play for the whole team anyways....so when next we are invaded - we'll just get whelped again.
I AGREE 1000000%!!!! Is that something you would consider if CPF could win the PM job???
I have been trying to get people to see the merit in it since we RW'd PEI back.
Its a lost cause.
You'll never get people to leave Quebec and move to NFLD.
You'll never get people to leave Ontario and move to NS.
Its just a fact of Canadiana - we are a regionalized country and it bleeds too far into the game sometimes.
We'll get wiped out again one day - and we still won't learn.
I'd also like to see the USA pay proper strategic respect to Alaska...but that too fell on deaf ears.
Nice article TFD, Everytime I get a new employee in my company I always send them a msg about the benefit of high wellness while it's helpfull for me it's doing a service to my worker as they will do more dmg after and maybe enjoy the game more. Of course I can'T force them to have good wellness but we can all do a part by doing some education. I've redirected countless citizen to q5 hospital so they could heal if every gm was to do this we would have more active player IMO.
I have talked to a lot of people who WOULD move to NS, if there was a Q5. It cant hurt the region, only improve it.

lol I wrote an article on these guys awhile ago.

That remind me the movie shaun of the dead. Zombie working everuwhere at the end as cheap labor lol
Me I hire ebabies but I am a Q1 compagnie and I sent them noob guide link to eCanada forum, and when they are near to reach level 5 I sent them a message explain fight Q5 hospital.
So far I help some that get bad start also with other compagnie by giving them some gift and travel ticket if needed.
My main goal is to have loyal worker that become skilled each day.
Hypnocorp has the right idea.
Voted.
my favorite part about owning a company was helping noobs. i even sent them gifts every day to compensate for the fact that my Q2 company put extra hurt on their wellness.
but sometimes no matter how hard you try they loose interest in the game, or get busy or whatever. because of this i had some dead employee's. i however did not kill them. due to the slow pace of the market at the time i preferred to make a small profit off of 5-6 peoples labor then over produce and have to undercut my competition to pay my wages (and thus loose profit removing the whole reason to run a business in the first place).
i guess i just get tired of the "businessmen are evil... so evil they border on being satans understudy" attitude this country.
voted.
Agreed, screamingslave - I reach out to noob employees and offer them every assistance I can, but about half just don't like the game and die on me. I haven't found that secret sauce to keep them playing until they reach level 5 and can have some fun.
reality Check
Do company owners want zombies...answer No (reason not productive)
Do Companys owners use Zombies...answer yes (reason not enough employees to go around)
Main reason for newbies quitting (from having talked to them), there is nothing for them to do. They join the game work and train, no political party contacts them, no goverment org offers them assistance etc. They look at the news and its full of the "Party Attack dogs" basically talking crap about each other and most think forget this.
In Poland for instance, newbies get msg`s from political parties so that they can join in a few days when they are able. Are given limited access to teh party forums to get them involved. They are contacted by the region they live in and told of assistance etc they can get etc.......OR in Other words they are ENGAGED the day they start to play
Tyler can Blame anybody he likes for zombies but he is a political animal, perhaps he would be better using the time to organise ecanada a little better. Or perhaps even talking to a few very new people and ASKING what they think.
So long as the writer of "Empire Resources" continues to HIDE behind his org, he will get no response from me.
But they are SS, the more companies you own the bigger your horns are. That's why Petz is living in isolation now.
I agree with Hypnocorp and that is my basic approach. I have no problem hiring babies and helping them along. I'll put up with the week or so of overpaying for low productivity for two reasons.
One I hope to gain loyal employees in the long term.
and two I would have liked someone to reach out to me during the first week or two and explain to me some of the ropes of eRep.
Of course there are and will always be people with a different and perhaps far more mercenary approach.
Tyler- Some great ideas and good insight. Votado!
I personaly agree with the NS-NFLD idea. Because they are borders shared with potential enemies they should be fortified.
