Would you do it ?

After such a healthy and refreshing holiday as I had, the voices in my head no longer fight with me. We are
on the same side now. So I came with some Babyboom ideas... Always the same taboo topic. But let me tell you
what ideas they gave me these voices in my head.
Primarily a bayboom doesn`t only mean bringing in new players. It is possible to have part of a Babyboom
with mature players by making from Belgium a tax and economic heaven. This method is applicable in reality.
Make your country an attraction for investors and they will bring with them other and other citizens. I am
a new player, I do not understand all the mechanics of the game but if the idea is applicable in reality,
why not here... The guru of economics in erepublik should answer, if there is one.
The ideas that follow, require a lot of involvement from everyone. Therefore I ask you: would you do it?
Putting up posters. Not just any posters but some like in my example.
That's just one example, each of you can change the code and put their own referrer link. Also they can
be printed directly on adhesive labels (advertising: can be found in Hema stores) which makes it easy for
you to stick it anywere. You can stick them on the subway, the bus stop, school, the panels dedicated to
advertising in shops, in public toilets (although I doubt that we want to bring all the freaks that come
around there) ... you name it .. . Just stick it.
Some simple methods for the most lazy of you to attract people in the game are:
- Status on messenger or facebook - by referral
- Invitation via email
- Signatures on forums - you can insert logo with referral or eRepublik link in your own signature.
- Promoting in other online games...though you get to be banned
- Referral to websites / blogs
Also expect other ideas. Our collective involvement can make a difference. Also, this article tests the pulse of the community. Depending on the pulse, I will continue to bring great ideas or I will dive into the world of two clicks.

10x guys...build me a statue now...like that I need....
How many of you would do any of these ?
We should create a "commision"
You do it...I give up... Baby boom is not for Belgium...
"How many of you would do any of these ?",
Well, like u saw on the forum, I came back days ago and already got +-10 new players above lvl 20 and active (Not automaticly on the forum and irc but still, ingame.)
The problem is from closed-mind people/eBelgium. First day and already had multiple messages accusing us of multi-accounting and asking us gold, from randoms and even from government members, nice welcome there. Plus, at beginning of the game, we don't have much to do except the 2 or 3 manipulations that takes 5minutes per day, so, we need something to attract us/them. And being too strict/slow in gouvernment decisions are something slowing us/them from our objectives/projects that we could have. (Like my case for immigration, as exemple, that I waited now for 48+ and after many efforts talking/being active on forum, irc, still no clue of what will happening.)
And to finish by that conclusion: The game is complex, slow, and community-based, the concept is not something known aswell, so, when players come, what do they see first? Nothing, absolutly nothing. And if we are looking a bit, yes, we see some things, like the "Welcome message Citizen" and finaly, we have a forum, and finaly, we have some clues on how eBelgium works, but still, 70% of the game/eBelgium stay in the fog, because rights are restricted at some points, some terms are game-based and we don't even understand them, we need to go deep and deeper, looking for oldschool posts/wikis explaining what is that and that, no lexical in the new articles, etc.
My english is too basic to explain in further details, but there is a lot more problems that slows very much the possibilty of a babyboom even with that kind of publicity, the problem isn't the "recruitment/pub" it's more when u get ingame that guys juste up some levels then quit because they are bored, like I did (yes, sorry.) 4 years ago. We need to find solutions, not to bring new people, but to attract new people to STAY.
True ! That is why, on forum I did say that when a new citizen does come around , we must do more that a welcome message. WE must take him in to a journey, let him see all the potential that this game offers. They say that they allready do that... Well, me, I was overlooked it seems... I quit with the babay boom story.... I will try it for my own gain.
I think you shouldn't stop here... It's normal that new ideas take some time to mobilize people.
We should create a task force, with "recruitement-missions" like posting refferer-link to this or these game or forum. It could be a part of the game, finding new citizens and helping them in face of this complex game(play).
But you've to understand that it take times to change things and don't forget too quickly!
