JDS - April Update

Day 2,721, 18:55 • Published in Australia Australia • by Mongoosier


Greetings fellow Australians!

Here we are – the (possibly) long awaited, and (certainly) long overdue, Joey Development Scheme (JDS) update!

The scheme was put into hibernation over the Dictator months and so has only really been unleased again since the start of April, but it’s been a decent enough month by the current standards of apathy in Australia.

Remember – if you are D1 and a new player (i.e. not starting over again or a multi) we want to give you free gold for completing simple tasks. It’s that simple. More details below on the tasks and how to apply.

So without further ado, let’s get to the numbers for April



Payouts

We started with 15g and 74,658 in currency.

We had five recipients of FREE GOLD in April taking out a total of 68 gold between them.

That’s some decent cash for younger players and let’s hope it went on training ground upgrades rather than Energy Bars guys.

Current Balance

For those sharp eyed maths gurus amongst you, you have noticed that 15 minus 68 = way less than zero, so that necessitated some transfers of the AUD reserves into gold.

These were two trades, one of 50g at 238 the current (at the time) exchange rate and one of 30g at 247.

The JDS now sits on 27g and 55,348 currency.

Donations

The JDS is funded entirely by private donations – it is not a Government organisation and does not cost your Government a cent. Never has, never will.

We do rely entirely on private donations so please if you have any spare gold in amounts large or small then please donate this where it will be used to help new players.

This is one of the best things we do in eAustralia so please give generously.
Right now we have around about enough gold to fully fund 11 new players going through the scheme – so although we look quite flush it’s not actually that much.

The Future of the JDS

I am plotting some changes to the way the tasks are organised. I think the current set-up has a couple of tasks that aren’t so relevant now so these will be changed. It also might be worth staggering the payments them so that more committed players are rewarded more highly. At the moment I worry that it’s very easy to complete some early tasks, get some gold and then fall out of the game – which means we essentially waste our money.

Here’s a link to the current list of tasks – if anyone has any suggestions then PM me:

So there you go – if you qualify for this excellent scheme then drop me a PM and I will take a look at where you’re up to.

Cheers!
