Two Hundred Days - Day 735: The Cake was a LIE

Day 935, 19:57 • Published in USA USA • by Iamnameless




Mission Statement:
This paper looks back Two Hundred Days from the current date and examines the progress one citizen made over the course of his first Two Hundred Days in eRepublik. Also, there will always be at least TWO hotties in every issue.


Welcome back dear readers!


Way back in the First Edition of Two Hundred Days - and btw, this would be a great time to go back and catch up if you're a first-time reader - one of our first comments suggested that "Maybe you should increase the hottie factor by 1 picture each time, it would increase the incentive to come back".

I like the way this guy thinks.



Is a caption really necessary here? I think not.


Needless to say, increasing the number of hotties ad infinitum could get hard to handle past a certain point - ask anyone who's tried it. The other suggestion in that comment was "I would also suggest advertising free beer/alcoholic drinks and food but that might be asking for to much". True, it might be, but then again this is eRep, where with a little imagination one can achieve things that may seem out-of-reach irl.



Ain't the beer cold? Mmmmm....


As for the free food, howzabout just b/c I love new readers: the FIRST TEN citizens Level 15 or lower who comment with their vote and sub #s and "Did you say free food?" will receive a FREE Q1 food. This offer is open to citizens of all eNations, as I don't want to exclude our BROs or any fine eAmericans serving overseas. If you're level 15 or higher and know a newer citizen that could use a free meal, let 'em know. Just a little unadvertised giveaway to help encourage newer players and also thank readers for supporting our humble paper.



That's probably encouraging. Also supportive.


Mmmmm, like the man once sai😛 that's a tasty, tasty burger. You know speaking of food, a funny thing once happened to the food in eRep.


Two Hundred Days ago, it was Day 735 and I was making p good progress in eRep. I just became a Lieutenant on Day 732, and I had been gaining between 1.5 and 2.0 Wellness from Q1 food every night since moving into my Q2 house on Day 729. Well, almost every night...


It turns out that Day 731 was eRep's "2nd Birthday", and some rocket scientist at Admin HQ decided it would be fun to turn everyone's bread into birthday cake! To be fair, it might've been a cute way to celebrate a special occasion - except Admin forgot the most important thing about food in eRep. That's right - the birthday cake healed exactly 0.00 Wellness! A panic swept the eWorld as people discovered they were no healthier than when they turned in the night before. The cake was a lie. Fortunately, at the time eRep still operated under the "old hospital rules", so the day of the cake debacle I simply fought 4x instead of 5x and was able to heal 50 points.



There... now doesn't that feel better?


I made Land Skill 4.0 on Day 734 - which meant that starting today my skill would only go up by 0.02 every day instead of 0.05 as it had been. No matter, I was making 8.00 USD (6.40 after taxes) at my Q1 job, which was enough to buy weapons for at least my first couple of fights everyday. So that's just what I di😛 2 "Impressive" fights with Q1 weapons (3.80 USD each) and 3 "Weak" fights without.



Time to lean back and relax after a long day...


I turned in for the night at 95.76 Wellness with $9.54 USD and 0.80 Gold. Tomorrow was the 25th (of November, 2009) - Congressional Election Day! I'm one of those weird types who really loves to vote - but even if you don't you should vote every chance you get, if only for the +1 XP.


That's it for this issue, so...


Until next time, as always,


Go eUS!
