Join the new world

A new minister

こんにちは みなさん o/

Hello everyone o/


As you can see, the writer isn't William of Edenbury but it's me, Hideyoshi Nicolas. So I'm the new MoE because William is busy with his other positions. To recap, I already was MoE during the Squibeel's term in September.





Continue the GuideBook

In my last term, I began a GuideBook for the young players.



What is the Guidebook?
The Guide Book is a tool for the entire community, geared in particular towards new players. This guide will include tutorials on how to use the various modules of the game and elaborate on their purpose(s).

What's in the Guidebook?
The Guidebook will contain tutorials on all aspects of the game including the economic, political and war modules. The Guidebook will also describe the roles of various government officials and will try to open the eyes of readers to the potential of various aspects of the game. Concrete examples of diplomacy, journalism, economics, military action, etc will be used to stimulate the reader's interest. We will also of course use well thought-out formatting, images, and diagrams to complete the Guidebook.

Why write a Guidebook?
We wish to provide a thorough and didactic guide for young players to read so that they can assimilate into the game and thus our community more easily. Given we have a small number of new players in this country, it would be rather worthwhile to help them learn the game so they don't get discouraged and quit, thus allowing our community to continue to grow. Furthermore, a well-written guidebook may even be useful as a reference for more experienced players.

Currently, we have :
- The daily tasks - Guide Book #1
- Military Module - Guide Book #2
- Economic Module - Guide Book #3
- Journalistic Module - Guide Book #4

So it's the time to continue with the description of the different positions in a government and other tutorials.





The Sempai & Kohai Program

In addition, the GuideBook will be usefull with the Sempai & Kohai Program. I wish to initiate a rehash of this program and integrate usage of the guidebook along with it to further bolster its effectiveness.

Guiding new players on their journey through eRepublik in eJapan is the primary mission of the Ministry of Education. This program represents a full embodiment of that ideal, with older and more experienced players guiding newer ones through their first steps in the game to provide for tailored instruction.

Senpais can furthermore be specialized to assist Kouhais in particular areas of knowledge such as Economics, Defense, Journalism, Politics or Foreign Affairs. With such a model, the program would be ever-more-so effective, as the newest players could learn from those who are already the best in their field.
