I was speaking to Jacobi the other night of the current expectations of MU Commanders.
Some of you might be running in MUs of
Others have felt the wrath of trying to manage documentation for a 100+ MU.
My question remains....why are we doing all this documentation when it serves little purpose as there are machines doing all of this work for us?

Here is the report for the Night's Watch....when asked how many fighters we have, I will refer you to that link.
An MU Spreadsheet generated by a human being can be tweaked, its numbers faked....
This system generates all it's stats directly from the erepublik API....it has been tracking each and every one of us for weeks. How about we trust the machine since machines aren't supposed to lie? (Unless, of course, they are Cylons)
What say you?
Sincerely yours,

To summarize my forum response:
Only if eGov is reliable and we can easily switch to a back-up plan if API/egov fails.
yeah... API is notorious for failing,and then remaining down for weeks.
As someone who used to use the API for tracking, etc., my god is it ever useful and buggy.
And if anyone's curious about the API: http://api.erepublik.com/
I like it
but I think your gonna have to propose an amendment to the MU Funding Act to actually change anything
The only issue with sites like egov, apart from API being unreliable at times is that it feeds direct from the in game MU's which anyone can join at any time. Due to this it is more work trying to keep non members out of the in game MU than it is to keep the current lists up to date
Do MU really cheat that often on the number of soldiers they have @'' which anyone can join at any time.''
Really!!!! And people, how come MUs are not fully efficient still, i mean CAF must had MILLIONS in funding from the GOVT... well for me give me the MU funding and every 4 month i'll get 10 soldiers fully self-efficient.

~hyuu~
*sigh* API
"An MU Spreadsheet generated by a human being can be tweaked, its numbers faked...." true, there is a trust factor, so do you trust them?
Its reliable when its working. But it often doesn't work. Therefore it is not reliable.
Actually egov4you has been working solidly for almost two months, with only a break in their services as they merged their new site to the old address
Also just to let you guys know. egov4you uses an independent API not the official one.
