Two Hundred Days - Day 735: The Cake was a LIE
Iamnameless
Mission Statement:
This paper looks back Two Hundred Days from the current date and examines the progress one citizen made over the course of his first Two Hundred Days in eRepublik. Also, there will always be at least TWO hotties in every issue.
Welcome back dear readers!
Way back in the First Edition of Two Hundred Days - and btw, this would be a great time to go back and catch up if you're a first-time reader - one of our first comments suggested that "Maybe you should increase the hottie factor by 1 picture each time, it would increase the incentive to come back".
I like the way this guy thinks.
Is a caption really necessary here? I think not.
Needless to say, increasing the number of hotties ad infinitum could get hard to handle past a certain point - ask anyone who's tried it. The other suggestion in that comment was "I would also suggest advertising free beer/alcoholic drinks and food but that might be asking for to much". True, it might be, but then again this is eRep, where with a little imagination one can achieve things that may seem out-of-reach irl.
Ain't the beer cold? Mmmmm....
As for the free food, howzabout just b/c I love new readers: the FIRST TEN citizens Level 15 or lower who comment with their vote and sub #s and "Did you say free food?" will receive a FREE Q1 food. This offer is open to citizens of all eNations, as I don't want to exclude our BROs or any fine eAmericans serving overseas. If you're level 15 or higher and know a newer citizen that could use a free meal, let 'em know. Just a little unadvertised giveaway to help encourage newer players and also thank readers for supporting our humble paper.
That's probably encouraging. Also supportive.
Mmmmm, like the man once sai
😛that's a tasty, tasty burger. You know speaking of food, a funny thing once happened to the food in eRep.
Two Hundred Days ago, it was Day 735 and I was making p good progress in eRep. I just became a Lieutenant on Day 732, and I had been gaining between 1.5 and 2.0 Wellness from Q1 food every night since moving into my Q2 house on Day 729. Well, almost every night...
It turns out that Day 731 was eRep's "2nd Birthday", and some rocket scientist at Admin HQ decided it would be fun to turn everyone's bread into birthday cake! To be fair, it might've been a cute way to celebrate a special occasion - except Admin forgot the most important thing about food in eRep. That's right - the birthday cake healed exactly 0.00 Wellness! A panic swept the eWorld as people discovered they were no healthier than when they turned in the night before. The cake was a lie. Fortunately, at the time eRep still operated under the "old hospital rules", so the day of the cake debacle I simply fought 4x instead of 5x and was able to heal 50 points.
There... now doesn't that feel better?
I made Land Skill 4.0 on Day 734 - which meant that starting today my skill would only go up by 0.02 every day instead of 0.05 as it had been. No matter, I was making 8.00 USD (6.40 after taxes) at my Q1 job, which was enough to buy weapons for at least my first couple of fights everyday. So that's just what I di
😛2 "Impressive" fights with Q1 weapons (3.80 USD each) and 3 "Weak" fights without.
Time to lean back and relax after a long day...
I turned in for the night at 95.76 Wellness with $9.54 USD and 0.80 Gold. Tomorrow was the 25th (of November, 2009) - Congressional Election Day! I'm one of those weird types who really loves to vote - but even if you don't you should vote every chance you get, if only for the +1 XP.
That's it for this issue, so...
Until next time, as always,
Go eUS!

Something's weird with c197977. He keeps fightin' over and over again, for -9 points hits. He will not turn the tide though...
I'm sorry I cannot fight there, as Spain is not involved and I have been healed today.
James, make sure you can read "Unsubscribe" just next to the 97.
If so, you are subscribed. If not, then you will read "subscribe". Push da button man.

Enjoyed the pictures, and the point is...?
😃
The point is the author telling us his own estory.
... and me getting a q1 bread for free, hopefully?
... and the pictures are a point by themselves.
Got the bread! yeah!
7 guests fed so far, pretty much any positive comment from a Level 15 or lower - I'm an easy grader. 😉
Thanks for your support everyone! Your votes helped this article get close to breaking into the top 10 in the US, which would put it on the first page of results when people click on "More News" from the homepage. I couldn't have done it without you! Or without the hotties either, I'm sure.
So give a shout if you like, tell your friends to vote and sub and see if we can make the Top 10 - maybe even the Top 5! Thx again. 😃

Already done. Unfortunately, only my girlfriend complied... and she didn't like the coolpics - suggests you put some Ronaldo's shots
Congrats in advance, you will eventually make it!!!

lol You might like the way I think but I might lose my life if my girl was to see that post.
Heheheh, I''ll never tell. 😉
Hey, you're level 15... that means you get the 9th (and next-to-last) Q1 food freebie! Dinner's on me.
lol What're the odds.
Two years later, no cake this time and my beer pic is gone.
I was.

roflmao! I started about a year after you wrote this article and this is real close to how I remember my first few days in eRep. Damn, the scenery sure has changed since I've started playing.
OMG! I've been here almost a year!!!
