More Grievances

Day 890, 22:21 • Published in Ireland Canada • by Hamiltenor

My last article was not supposed to be that short. I had written a well thought out article addressing my three major annoyances: the new hospital system, these "treasure" maps, and elections. My post was cut short and now I have another to add, the publish inconsistencies.

Starting with the new hospital system.

Only being healed what wounds I sustain in ballte is the same in my mind as letting a soldier die of an infected paper cut because he got it before the battle started. It's ridiculous that I've had to gift myself three wellness from my organization every stinking day to work at 100 percent for my employer. To keep from having to log in, log out, then log back in on my citizen account I bought myself a Q5 house. Does anyone else have 35 gold lying around to buy one?
In addition to higher level players, the new players are the ones that suffer the most. Without the means to gift themselves, they get by on what little money they can scrounge, if they can keep a job that is. As you know, many employers require you work at 90+ wellness, how is that possible with the new system in place?

How can they justify this change? Hospitals are supposed to heal ALL of our wounds, especially after we risk our necks in battle. Way to treat your veterans eRepublik. Glad you think so highly of us.

Moving to these awful new treasure maps.

I'm still waiting for the .3 gold I'm owed after gaining a hard worker trophy. Who's with me here? It's not fun to get less gold, in much the same way that fun size candy is in no way more fun than regular size. Give us our just desserts, because we've earned them.
I could see if there was simply too much currency floating around, but this is a small matter of .3gold. It's not so much the amount as it is the principal. They're supposed to be random.. where's the logic in that?

Finally addressing elections.

One of my good friends Gambit60133 has already run in several elections only to be outright denied the post, even after gaining the most votes. First he wasn't in a "valid party" in eUSA and then him, I and another friend moved here to eIreland where the people must be more understanding and close-nit. With fewer people, less territories, it seemed like a good idea. He failed to garner enough votes.
It's discouraging to see him lose in every congressional election. I would like to be elected because frankly, there's not much else that would keep me interested. Making decisions for the masses and representing the fine people of Cork and Kerry would be a thrilling experience. Being privileged with the support for such a win isn't something I have. I'd need your support, and more importantly your votes.
It's not like I can stroll out to the town square and meet everyone. I'd love to show you I'm a kind-hearted person and mean well. I know how to conduct myself and fancy myself a pretty spiffy wordsmith.

Now, let me know what you think. In addition to getting my opinion out there, I enjoy hearing what you have to say, as long as you can be civilized about it.

See you later space cowboy.
