Pfebruary is coming

Day 3,724, 07:20 • Published in USA USA • by Pfeiffer.

Good morning, America.

We’ve survived January. Historically one of the more boring months of the year in eRepublik. While much of what I did with the month isn’t something anyone would want to read (and some I couldn’t publish because foreign relations often lead to such situations), I’d like to talk to you all about where we are and where I hope to be going. I say both because this is both an update and a statement of my intent to serve another term as your President.

Domestically, we have a fairly stable status quo. We have for years. This is both good, and bad. While oftentimes internal bickering can distract from outside threats or opportunities, it does drive activity. Oftentimes, I have been at the center of said activity, so I won’t lie and tell you that I’m not thankful for the respite our relative homeostasis. In that same vein, I’ve noticed that even the things which people clamor about when they’re ‘late’ or not exactly how they like them (AARP postings on the feed, as an example), draw little real attention. I’m not quite sure how to solve this, and would like your help in doing so. We need to find a way to drive that internal activity. While this is not a solution, to that end I will give 10,000 monies to the party AND military unit which has the most members comment on this article with something they like and something they dislike about the current state of affairs and/or the game in general. Please avoid direct insults towards other players, that’s not constructive and I’d really rather not wade through that mess.

If you have an idea and want it seen by everyone of substance in the eUS, this will be the place to post it. Stand out ideas will be recognized with equally moneyrific prizes.

I won’t be spam-shouting this article. I expect you to do the work if you want your party and military unit to win this money. Get to gettin.


catch the monies

Our ongoing training wars are...ongoing. Very little to say there, because they’re training wars and that’s kinda boring. I hope to bring you something more exciting soon. Be watching your OMFG WHAT’S GOING ON shouts and alerts.

I’ve been able to rebuild a lot of the relationships internationally for which I was once known. It’s amazing how many ancient players are still kicking around out there, and how many of us can put you in contact with our respective successors. There’s something very comforting in the familiarity of alliance backrooms and bickering in private messages and the quasi-high school he said, she said silliness. I feel that we’ve made good progress in strengthening some bonds, and are making further inroads with some former frenemies.

I’m also glad that doing so no longer requires one to be up 22 hours a day…

Today is Tuesday. The election is next Monday. My aim is to have an article out on Thursday, and on Sunday. I hope that they will largely be responses to the commentary left below. I think that there may still be a few ideas floating around in those brains of yours out there...so show me what you’ve got.

And don’t forget to vote Pfeiffer in your party primaries, and on the 5th of February.


I remain

Yours,


~Pfeiffer
