What's Wrong With Messages To New Players & How To Improve It
•
by Australian Warlord
Not messing words :
Too much ePolitical trash & not simple easy to understand intro guide.
When a new player enters this game, they should be reading a simple guide that will guide them so that they won't completely stuff themselves up & quit. Of course many will quit regardless however if new players have some understanding what the basic operations of this game are then the percentage of quitters will be reduced
Basic (incomplete) Guide
* You need wellness to survive.
* Get job in a company with a 1 star rating. Each star costs your character extra wellness.
* Buy food for each day. Food increases wellness. Not eating decreases wellness.
* To progress in this game, you need to try to log on & work everyday. You only get paid if you turn up for work but your character needs continue even if you don't log on.

You notice simple instructions. None of that pagelength garbage glorifing this or that (which puts your mind to sleep). It's past time that ePoliticians were told to get real, cease creating a ePolitical environment to make up for the fact that they're too incompetent to be real politicians & started looking at what Australian players actually need to know to play this game without stuffing up.

and you wonder why eAustralia h8s u and ur articles barely manage any votes?
I totaly agree with the first half but you lost me when you started bagging out our hard working ePoliticians.
1/2 a vote 😛
Maybe, include both a basic guide and the "pagelength garbage." Possibly even a link to some of the help guides in the forums? Or to eAustralian made help guides on our forums? This way we instill a sense of ePolitcal confidence, and eAustralia pride and remove a little of the eDoubt and eConfusion that makes near every new player eQuit-the-hell-out!
Best of both worlds there right?
We need the stuff about Australia's past because we will get more people like you. 😛 Think they know everything, but are all wrong.
Oh and what broad said.
well-put, Alias136. wonderful. clap! etc
my comment aimed at AW 😛
I know when I signed on there was a lot to read. I was lost for a while and was taking direction from a "mentor." Now that I understand the "work" and "business" end of the game better I enjoy it a lot. I am now starting to learn about the war end of it.
I think a simple guide would be good with links to more information. New people cannot do much of anything thing till they log on for a week or so straight when they get some skill level and their 5 Gold for level 6.
Maybe people lose interest because it does take the week or so of logging on till they can actually do anything substantial.
I think the ORGs need to mentor their lower skilled people and help them through the game. We have done this at Far flung Enterprises with great success.
It is not an accident that each country chooses what to send a new citizen in a letter. We need more people and we need to make sure they log on long enough to learn the game, enjoy the game, and make a difference for our country.
This also goes back to the citizen fee. I have not done much research on the topic but I have seen that the increase from 5 AUD to 10 AUD has been voted down several times. These new people need a couple bucks to keep their wellness up on their own and actually produce till they get their 5 Gold. That's another news article.
Some good points WL.
Incompetent to be real politicians
or maybe to incompetent to be real warlords, or real Freedom Fighters
oh wait, it's a game that is not as serious as RL...otherwise maybe some of us would become politcians
Anyway the new citiZen messGe is silly...we need links to Marketplace, Human Resources, how to train, forums and maybe a little history at the bottom
Agreed taytaz.
I think some of us should start submitting actual ideas here. WL posted an idea. I think Taytaz should post an idea as well.
Links are good because they can choose what is most important to them to read in the game they want to play.
They do need some sort of starting point. Some sort of basics of the game.
Lets see if we can come to some kind of agreement here on a new citizen's letter and submit it to the Government for a vote. 🙂

If you want history then maybe you can include the bit where the left here wanted to restrict/prohibit Australians from utilising certain parts of this game (eg business operations) solely because of 'pretend' politics.
Maybe we could include the bit where Taytaz & fellow far-leftwingers wish to put everybody on subsistence wages, thereby putting everybody at the beck & call of them, all for 'pretend' politics.
Maybe we can include that in the history lesson.
maybe we could include that a wannabee cowboy called AW pretends to know what he dribbles on about? or maybe that hes a tool and should try getting a life?
i arrest my case on the grounds the defendant is mentally retarded.
So Br0adside, are you're now denying that the ADSP leadership sought to introduce measures to punish eBusinesses that didn't comply with ADSP desired restrictions.
Are you now denying that the ACP wishes to prohibit Australians from undertaking any kind of eBusiness activity.
These things are fact & if they want new players to have a history lesson, then surely information about how certain people wish to restrict the ability of Australian citizens to utilise certain game functions should be a part of it.
Fact is Br0adside, you have zero defense to these attempts to restrict the fair rights of Australians in this game.
Back on topic - the intro letter to new Aus players is full of dead links, making it a nightmare to try and work out how to join the forums, military etc. Just updating the links would make life easier.
@AW
The game mechanics don't allow us to restrict eCitizens from operating private companies if that is what they want to do. All we can hope to do is dominate the market to such a degree that private business cannot compete, or convince the majority of the population to boycott private companies. Either way, we depend on the collaboration of the majority. Our plans are intrinsically democratic.
If I was a Commie in charge of a eGovernment, I could guarantee the elimination of all private eBusinesses in the eNation within a week. No democratic about it.
Plus boycotts don't need a majority to succeed. A boycott by a minority works by draining funds. It's how communities that only utilise services from within that community get to be powerful. There's many ways to eliminate certain eBusiness operations.

HOW? This game strives on community and cooperation 😁 not just on the whim of a group of people. A few countries however have tried communism - like beta pakistan? But it is VERY difficult to pull off.
Agreed with duncomrade.
You need to fix your attitude on writing articles.. mate.

@Juan : Do you mean like the attitudes of your comrades when they accused me of being some violent Nazi (because I support Australians being able to operate eBusinesses in this game) or when they accused me of being a terrorist?
Or do you mean like when Cottus likened a poor yank alongside mass murdering arsenists?
Maybe you should clean up the attitudes of those closer to home first, unless of course you happen to be a hypocrit.
