Turmoil!

Our CP is absent, and this is causing some concerns amongst some of our citizens. With this article I wish to express my opinion, and maybe even clarify some things.
During the election campagne I was asked if I would be interested in a position. As most are aware, my social skills are below average and many believe that you need to be a kind of superman to play this silly game. Not really interested, but I'd be willing to take up Home Affairs and Defense if necessary.

No clue as why he's not here, this is not something Mr Wonka would do out of free will, something has come up in RL perhaps? There's been a call for impeachment, for a variety of reasons : a new CP would increase activity, a new CP would be better and so on. Let's break down the different components of our country administration.

First of all activity. There are no programs running at the moment that I am aware of. Income has all but dropped completely, so any programs will need to be funded from our reserve. Will this increase activity? I don't really know, but I doubt it very much. Previous incentives didn't do much for it. No increase in the media, no increase on IRC, no increase on the forum and not really responsive in-game. There are quite a lot of new players, but they don't seem to be getting integrated into the community, by choice? I mean, if you're new, I would imagine you read the eBe Welcome Message you'd try to get in touch? Apparently not, so either the new kids know how to play, or have enough satisfaction about how they are playing now. Adding funding wouldn't change that I guess.

The Training War. As you can see, the TW is running, we're currently wiped, and at the moment this seems to be staying this way. in div 4 at least, most hitters are foreign on our side. I too don't really hit anymore, TP medals are 100 million for me, that's 10CC/million, CO's can be a lot more advantageous for me. We'll need to organize something to get us unwiped, but don't expect a massive amount of damage out of the blue. There are more important battles going on at the moment.

Economy. Due to being wiped, we've lost a little bit of bonus, 20% in wepaons, 40% in food. There's been a much larger drop in income, what to me suggests that a lot of our income comes from foreign buyers/sellers. We'll need to live with that, but more on that later. SX80 has been doing a great job, not always highly visible on the media stage, but very important. We've been able to make quite a bit of money with the cheap gold price these last weeks. I can only urge everyone to help out with this if there's ever another round. He decided to quit the job, and as I have been told, Jofroi will continu to clear the debt that eBe has with some players.

What do we have? We have some reserve in our orgs, that's true. So bring on the suggestions, what would YOUwant to do with it? What programs would you want to implement? What would they cost? What would players gain from it, and who? Don't sit back and wait for someone else to do it for you. This is a community game, not RL where all voters complain about their gov but are themselves too lazy to get involved. Everyone here can get involved with a few simple keyboard clicks. Looking at what we have, I'd say 1000CC daily as a reference to start doing the math on what you want to see happening.

Thank you for reading.
