eMarriage!

There is a question we have to answer: what has been the biggest scourge in the New World? The countless bugs? The legions of multis? The unbalanced military system? The flawed economic module? No. It's the lack of (hot) female players!


(We need more of this)

We have to agree that eRepublik is basically a wiener-fest. Adding more and more female graphics does not make up for the real deal. It only makes the lack even more obvious!
Some of you may know that around 50% of the internet users are female. The web is no more only for over-or underweight, nerdish, male geeks, with troubled skin condition. While in eRepublik... wait, there are no genders anymore! Did the PC trolls of queer studies invade the game with their phony gender-is-only-a-social-construct ideology? Or is this change just a cover-up?

Still, back in the v1 days, less than 30% of the citizens were female. Counting the multis. Most of them are "female"... (did you notice that?)
The question would be: why are the possessors of vaginas missing? After all this social game is all about military conquests, politics and economics, all areas of interest women usually don't understand are not interested in.

What is the one thing girls dream about, ever since they realized that Barbie is at least in one way fundamentally different from Ken?



It is marriage!

Behold my proposal: it's the marriage of citizens! Whether to allow gay couples to be bonded or not, that may be up for a heated debate. I'm totally for it. However, I doubt that many guys will enter in a same-sex relationships, just for the bonuses, thus being forced to invite female friends!
(Hint: More players is good for business!)



Did I say "bonuses"? Yes, I did! Married couple should receive a treasure map each, and a lot of XP! On top of that, daily happiness bonuses should bless the sacred virtual bon😛 10 points in the first two honeymoon weeks, a bit less a bit later, and much less much later.



For the sake of this new feature, the gift business should be brought back! Gifts could improve the quality of the relationship. Just like in real life! Higher quality means more bonuses! (Perhaps, special gifts for GOLD?)

Marriage could mean a shared control of the accounts and the inventory. Of course, players could divorce at any time, dividing the possessions! This leaves room for a new eRepublik profession: lawyer!





The possibilities are virtually unlimited!
