Eagles Militia

Day 684, 10:39 Published in USA USA by George S. Patton Jr

OK folks, this is a militia group for people who don't currently qualify for the regular military branches, which have upped their requirements considerably, meaning there are a lot of you out there.

Model: George Barker has a Q1 weapons company. You work there for a salary of $2 a day, and get 1/2 of the weapons you produce given to you once a week, or prior to a major battle. Example: you produce 15 weapons in a week, and on Sunday, He donates to you 8 Q1 weapons. It's that simple. He takes care of making sure the company has money to pay you and iron in stock from which you make the guns. He'll also tend to over-donate, particularly before major battles, so you'll end up being compensated more than you would if you worked and then used your salary to buy weapons.

Requirements: be willing to follow instructions on where to fight. Wear the militia avatar, which I have as my current avatar if you want to know what it looks like (I'm not much of an artist, so if you can design a better one, I'll be happy to take a look at it). Other than that, because you're paid by your output, how often you work and at what wellness is up to you -- the more you produce the more weapons you get.

The idea is to help newer players level up as quickly as possible, as well as improve retention by giving them (you) an organization they can be a part of that's contributing to the success of our fantastic ecountry. I'm looking at developing ties to the official military, so when you qualify, you'll have a spot there waiting for you. The organization is pretty loose -- all you have to do is fight where you're asked to fight. No orders, no roll call to answer (working is a form of roll call).

The initial enrollment is 10 people, enough to man one Q1 company. If that does well, I'll see about opening other militia companies run by other people. I already have four people working at my company, so there are six slots left.

Eagle 1, the first company, is now full, and we have a waiting list. We'll start a second company as soon as we have enough people on the waiting list to make it economically viable, about 8. Please post here or send George Barker a PM in-game to be added to the waiting list.

I'm working something out on how to deal with people who have land and construction skills, a shortcoming of this model. If you have one of those, but no manufactuiring skills, post here anyway and we'll see what we can do.

Another update: Mercutio has set up a second Militia company. We will get that one full, then stop recruitying (but taking names for a waitlist) to get organization set up, before setting up a third company. Mercutio's company is here:
