JDS - We're still alive!

Day 2,161, 17:23 • Published in Australia Australia • by Joey Development Scheme


This is a quick update, sadly this is the first JDS article in a little over a week. I deeply apologise for this but due to unforseen circumstances my laptop decided It didn't want to play ball anymore despite being a few months old. So I am currently borrowing my kids laptop until my new upgraded one arrives hopefully Monday. Normal service will be returned very, very soon so please bare with us. We can assure people that rewards have still been sent out, logged and costed.

We have recently had a few generous donations that Claire Louise has kindlt logged for me in the JDS Gdocs...so while I do not have all the access on this laptop I promise you that as soon as my new laptop is out of the box I will publish an article straight away with a screenshot of the donation and who it was from...I just want you to know that your generosity has not been forgotten.

Now at the J.D.S we have decided to offer you the choice of either food and weapons or the current market price equivalent in cash once you register and complete the tasks. Why? Well at the current moment in time and for the next 36 hours (at the time of writing) eRepublik are offering you the chance to upgrade your training facilities and what better chance than now? Complete your tasks, get the cash reward and buy gold off the monetary market and use it to upgrade. Stronger fighters are the future for eAustralia and we will try to support you in anyway we can while you find your feet in this game.

Below are a list of tasks for new and young players to complete. Complete each one and you will receive 200 Q4 Food and 5 Q7 Tanks...or the cash equivalent. There is no catch and you do not need to pay it back. The tasks are there to help YOU and are listed below.



Task 1 - Join the Australian Defence Force Military Unit - There are many benefits from joining a Military Unit including doing your daily orders set by the MU including daily supplies if you complete those Daily Orders, In the ADF you receive 8 Q7 weapons per day with further options to increase that.
The Daily Orders reward you with a 100 energy health bar and a bazooka to be used when you are a higher rank as well, but for now they will be stockpiled in your storage until you reach a certain strength. The Australian Defence Force is specifically there to help young players - those in Division 1 and 2, and you will be regularly supplied in food when you attend the ADF roll calls on the forums (more information on that in Task 10).

Task 2 - Join a political party. Playing a part in the political side is an option open to you but if you wish to represent your country in eAustralian senate then you have to be part of a political party. It also will open up doors to parts of our community you may miss otherwise. Parties can be found HERE

Task 3 - Upload an Avatar. It’s a simple as that! You can upload an avatar/edit your profile by clicking your name on the left side of the screen. Avatars have to be a .jpg image and the ideal size is 150x150 pixels. You can also ask for us to make you an avatar, just comment below and we will be in touch with you.

Task 4 - Have 15 eAustralians on your friends list. You can add people by clicking on their profile and clicking the “add friend” button on the top right of their profile. The more friends you have, the more help and support you will get, and the more you will get to know the community better!

Task 5 - Send an in-game message to the current Prime Minister (President). Our current Prime Minister is Mick Gatto. Just pop him a quick message saying hello - he’d love to hear from you, and he doesn’t bite!

Task 6 - Reach level 15. This one doesn’t take long at all!

Task 7 - Reach Level 20. Again, doesn’t take much effort at all to hit level 20!

Task 8 - Reach Division 2 (Level 25). This will take just a little bit of time but don't feel you have to rush it.

Task 9 - Register on the eAustralian Forums and play a part in our growing community. You will meet many friendly people who are always willing to help you.



Task 10 - Once registered on the eAustralian Forums , join the Australian Defence Force section. This is how you would receive your supplies from the ADF, by attending weekly roll calls (which is just posting a quick “I’m here” in that weeks roll call thread).

Task 11 - Complete 10 posts on the forums. Simple as that, they can be posts anywhere, about anything, so long as they adhere to the forum rules.

Task 12 - Get on IRC. You just enter your eRepublik name and you’re automatically thrown into the eAustralia IRC room!

Task 13 - Earn your first True Patriot medal. You get these by completing a certain amount of damage for eAustralia and the game will also reward you with 5 gold for achieving this.

Task 14 - Achieve your first hard worker medal. You gain this medal after training and fighting for 30 days. They don’t have to be concurrent days, just so long as at some point you have worked and trained a total of 30 days.

Task 15 - Earn 100 strength points through training.

Task 16 - Obtain your first Super Soldier medal (250 strength points). Keep training, you’ll soon get it! You’ll also get a 5 gold reward every time you get a Super Soldier medal, which you get at every 250 strength (250, 500, 750, 1000 etc…).

Task 17 - Obtain your second Super Soldier medal (500 Strength points).

Task 18 - Upgrade your free training ground at least once. Upgrading your free training ground will mean that you will gain more strength every day. To upgrade your free training ground, click on “My Places” on the top bar, then click Training Grounds (next to your companies).
The top training ground is your free one, and it costs 20 gold to upgrade to a Q2 quality training ground. We would advise that you actually wait until there is a Training Ground deal on (you’ll see this at the top of your homepage when the deal is on), meaning that you can upgrade your Training Ground for 45% less gold, so instead of it costing you 20 gold, it will cost you 11 gold. Using this training ground will mean you gain 10 strength a day, instead of 5. As proof of completion of this task we will require a screen shot of the upgrade.

Task 19 - Reach the in-game rank of Sergeant. You’ll get this one pretty quickly too!

Task 20 - Reach the in-game rank of Colonel. Just a little bit more playing this game will get you to this one.

Task 21 - Complete all tasks! Seems daunting, but with a little time all of these tasks can be easily completed.

✰ ✰ REMEMBER THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT SO TAKE YOUR TIME COMPLETING THE TASKS ✰ ✰
