NL future ?
Lord Jale
HELP NEEDED !!!
HELP NEEDED !!!
This is not a job for one player ( CP / minister ), it is job for all community! If we all gave our best we have chance to success.
One former CP and great player lost hope that we can do this. He told me that last 25 CPs tried and that we did not had results.
My opinion is that we can do this. But we all need to participate ( CP can only organize us but it depends of us will it success or not ).
I also want to note that this is not a plan that can be done in the next 2 days!
We will be lucky if we work hard and prepare all so we can first time try in next 30-40 days.
Now, how do I see this problem ?
The problem is how to attract, retain and learn new players!
IF WE FOUND SOLUTION, THEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO REPEAT SAME PROCEDURE NEXT MONTH, AND NEXT,AND SO ON..
It will give us one of strongest country influence at lower divisions, multiple state tax income, and more fun in our community.
Now all is history, now we should look for respect between each other. We are not community of e-bullies because we listen everyone's suggestions, and bring decisions as family.
My future plans are not related to fighting or foreign policy, I would like to give my contribution in building strong NL community.
And that is possible to accomplished if we unite and accept future players as our e-children. My plan is to write one letter of regulation. After we would post this letter at various NL forums or facebook pages. Of course it should be synchronized, and that means we should post that letter at same time so we can welcome new players. My thought is that in beginning we form one team of players who will introduce new players to community.
It is complicated job because young players can send only one personal message per 10 or 20 minutes. We should find and develop effective way of communication, at this time I think perhaps to first invite them in military unit and then communicate through MU chat window.
At bottom of letter everyone of us would be able to post his personal link like : ˝http://www.erepublik.com/en/referrer/Lord+Jale˝ and that way new players could be tracked as well. My sugestion would be to help them with 10% their gold rewards we collect.
After if they continue playing we would collect much more free gold. Maybe we would be able to establish a foundation for younger players with donations of players which want to help new players in future with gold they will receive for invited players earlier.
Even if ˝first job˝ success it would bring us 100/200 or 500 new players so we must repeat again ( after month or two ) and correct mistakes we noticed from last ˝job˝.
For me this game is interesting and I am sure many new players would be delighted as I am. We should not speak about the disagreement of mud throwing in front of new player. We should forget it for community future prosperity.
For now our plan movements would be :
1. Collect all possible places where our players can post recruitment article and gain success. ( We should find one player which will lead this project. After we should send him links where we will post recruitment article, so he can record all informations. After we will ask new players where we can post it and gain success. So next time we will post it at new forums, pages.. and after half year we can repost at same spot. )
2. Establish a committee of as many members as possible. That committee would be active all day when recruitment starts. Its task will be introduce players to this game.
3. Timing of recruitment! It should be Saturday or Sunday at morning. That way we would be prepared for new arrivals. We should spend all day working with new players.
4. ALL top 5 articles MUST be written as guides for new players. ( Ministerie van Binnenlandse Za , Walhallah's advices..)
5. We need to agree on war at days when we start recruitment. ( If we have war new citizens will be able to hit for TP dmg and will have more fun ).
This is just a skeleton of a plan. As I said before we should hard work at same for days to reaching its success.
For now I would like to see does community support this. If you support please write it in a comment so all of us can draw motivation from your support.
Also if you have any suggestions please write comment with them. Any help is welcome. Now we should write as much as possible assignments, so later we have little easy job by composing earlier ideas.
I am sure this can work out, maybe I am just an optimist .. But I hope for NL future that we can do this.
Comments
I hope this will one day work out as well.
As long as we are this small there is little chance we can be a fully free country or do a worthwhile attack on other countries.
I think it is a good idea to bring some new people in, learn them the game and make them enthousiastic.
Remember my term as CP? I doubled population to almost 700 people. Most people claim it was because of the Germany. Well that indeed caused 60% of that babyboom, however I did more than that. We all know those people who got hundreds of invite medals. I was working together with them to scout Dutch people. We should work together with them and see hoe they do it, since they clearly succeed.
Yes we should copy procedure which players with many invitations medals did at time.
Before we start this project we should find all what can use to our work.
I can look what their names are, so your President is free to ask me 🙂
Kordak as I said let's leave past time behind us. He is your President as well.
What interests me is can NL community count on you and your help? Will you support this plan? Will you participate in it as active coworker ?
He is not my President, but as I said I am willing to help and give advice. However I will be in official position in Ireland again this month, so my loyality is there. Just pm me mr. President
Ok I will stay in touch with you, and thank you for offering your help and advice. We will use it as all other opportunities we get. This kind of job asks for all available informations.
I am one of those new players, already for 5 days. And so far nobody has given me any advice, which I would sure be gratefull to receive. I am fighting each day to do my 25 kills, and only help I got, was from a player who send me some inferior weapons. I am not stupid, so I don't fight with shitty weapons, but why would someone want to have me do that??? His name is Daniel Parker, and he also send me some food, and a invite to his MU, while I already was a member of another MU. Is this some kind of an internal war that I am not aware of? Please, I just want to get to know this game! So if there's any help you can provide me with, I will be very gratefull.
Love how you complain when given free stuff, also any weapon is better than no weapon. So it is better to fight with the weapons he gave you than to pay for it on the market or not to use weapons at all.
We do not have internal war or anything like that. Daniel Parker help you with free stuff which you should appreciate. It doesn't matter about quality of weapons because you can sell it at market. Players young as we are can only fight for first few FF an TP medals, other medals are hard to get for us so we should focus at training for a while.

My advice is to take few days and read all what interests you at this site http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Main_Page . Also older forum topics are interested and usefull to read at your free time.
thanks Lord Jale 🙂
Well since he took an interest in you have you tried contacting Daniel Parker? And they may look like shitty weapons but you can do many things with them. a. you can use them to fight. b. you can use them to sell for cash.
at that time I couldn't sell them, but I see I can now. My point was that those weapons are not good to fight with. so if anyone sends you those, there should be a letter with it that it's not for fighting. Because I had already read an article about strenght, which says it's not good to use soo much health, which fighting with inferior weapons do.
I saw you where online, so I thought, give the new guy a gift so he knows this game is actually inhabited by people. I sent food too right? Weapons aren´t exactly useless.
thanks for the food. I am still getting to know this game.
don't hesitate to ask, lot of willing people wanting to help out.
Help write the new citizen welcome message since no one wants to. At least that would be a good start.
I will if you gave me a chance to help. Only what interests me is how much characters can new citizen welcome message have ? And what should we wrote in it ( like saying hi, small representation of NL community , maybe invitation to MU , links of guide articles,.. ) ?
Just start writing one, than later on we can look at it, is it enough characters, or too many? If so, what do we have to skip etc.
If you presented a draft that would be a great step into the right direction
Dear citizen,

Most important of all is to join the community.
You can accomplish that by joining in national military unit ( http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/group-show/514 ) and joining one of NL political parties.

p.s.
This my suggestion has many shortcomings, all what you think that should be added or changed please tell us. Hope that it will serve us at least a little in making new citizen welcome message.
I have a thread running in the congress section of the forum. Looks decent enough start.
I love the enthusiasm and positive outlook you (still) have, I hope you wont end up becoming more cynical as many me included have. So i wish you all the best of luck.
