Free Thanks from Hail Astrid

Day 2,627, 03:19 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Hail Astrid

So I've been seeing so many giveaways, and how well-received they are. So I thought I'd do one too!

Until I realized that I didn't have a lot of stuff to give away.
And even if I wanted to, I couldn't.


A most convenient excuse

After a sip of tea, I decided that I could give away something better than tanks.

I could give thanks. Or more accurately, compliments.


I mean, you could pick up tanks in the market anytime you wanted. Well, if you had money. But you don't really have any place to get some good ol' fashioned appreciation in this game.

While I realize that thanks don't exactly do as much damage as tanks in this game, you can't ignore that increased self-esteem will boost your performance in battle. There is anecdotal evidence that, after receiving a compliment, an eCitizen delivers (on average) a little bit more damage than usual.


Proven by science.

Consider the following scenario:



Now obviously, Rupert Grint's self-esteem took a bit of a hit on that one, and it is highly likely that he would underperform when playing eRepublik later on in the day.

Unless...



So I'm really performing a public service here, and what I'm offering is better than tanks.

To get your free compliment, just add to the comments.


And maybe one day, I'll teach you the secret of controlling butts.
