A story to tell – Media Mogulism [malika ela]
1st of all: the number 9 from ‘Face to face – eRepublik famous characters around the eWorld’ it’s on its way (don’t know when it will be released).
Many of you have found out about me for the 1st time thanks to my series ‘Face to face – eRepublik famous characters around the eWorld’.
How it blossomed the idea of this series?
I was in my army unit IRC chanel for a fight, together with my soldiers (I’m RTF commander), and one of my soldiers, csid, asked if Euphonix’s avatar represents him. I told him: ’no, it can’t be.’
Still, after some hours I asked Euphonix in private if in the picture from his avatar is him. He told me YES. So I thought into publishing an article with facts about some eCelebrities….but after a while I thought into asking celebrities to send me their real picture and some basic info.
The success of my series
Well, before starting this series of articles, my newspaper had 477 subscribers. After 5 days, at my 2nd art, I was already Media Mogul. After 2 weeks, I was getting my 2nd Media Mogul medal.
I had asked Emerick to appear in my 1st article, but he refused to show his picture…and moreover he made me wait for his picture, instead I received a cartoon character, lol.
In fact, famous characters mostly refused to appear just because they didn’t want to show their real picture…and that’s understandable. Zoli is one of the cases that I really understand, being a very controversial character.
Where I’m getting at…?!
Just wanted to tell you that I’m totally disagreeing with all kind of Media Mogul Projects. Why these guys aren’t able to write something that really deserves our votes and subscriptions? When I joined this eWorld, was a pleasure to make some time to read media. Even if the articles weren’t that voted, nor that commented, nor that MANY as today. Now it’s such a pain in the *** to try to find something that worth reading it, let alone something that worth our vote or subscription.
WHY YOU LET YOURSELF CHEATED THAT EASILY BY SUCH MEDIA MOGUL PROGRAMS?! Subscribing or voting useless articles makes the ones that write them, to keep writing low quality articles. Means that you participate and you have your guilty if our eWorld is not that interesting as it used to be. Coz you promote non-values.
I would say: UNSUBSCRIBE FROM NEWSPAPERS THAT HAVE SUBSCRIBERS THANKS TO MEDIA MOGUL PROGRAMS! (Unless the newspapers have an interesting content).
An advice for those who want to get the medal
There’s no hurry in getting it. If you are a good writer, this medal will belong to you eventually. A good journalist will NEVER beg for subscribers. It’s so pathetic to see writers that after every unimportant article beg for votes, subscriptions, and spam all the media with links to their article.
You have shout option and ads option, USE IT!
If you want to be mogul, be prepared to write in English. If you write only in your language, more probably you’ll never have the chance to be a Mogul.
Choose topics that have to do with other countries as well, not only with your country.
And be PATIENT, PATIENT, PATIENT, without being ridiculous with all the begging. GOSH!
Thanks to Primal, who gave me 5 GOLD after my 2nd edition. Helped me in having GOLD for ads :P
P.S. PLEASE WRITE IN ENGLISH! read more
