Second Run
James Strife
First off, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of positive responses I received following my first article. Although I was doing the "badger, badger, badger" on IRC about my article, (looks at tdwester), thanks so much for all of the positive feedback.
Second, I thought I would give a little update on my happenings in eRepublik over the past few days. I have recently been trying to get the Society Builder achievement by inviting all of my friends to eRepublik and asking them to play to level 6 before they decide to stay or quit playing. One of my friends (A Belgian National), I believe is playing for the sole reason of liberating his home region of Belgium. I am stunned by the number of my friends that have taken a liking to the game, regardless of whether they’ll stay two clickers or become more deeply involved in the social networking of the game.
Some side notes about MoW: Aiden is moving up to be in scrabman's cabinet for this term. With Aiden gone, this leaves MoW to be run by Ekim and I. While we are skilled enough to maintain it, alas it is finals time for me and him, and likely for him. MoW might fall behind just a little bit this week. I myself have 3 projects to do, one of which is finished. I also just completed my AP Calc exam this week, which set me back in doing those projects. But, we will have the MoW program running smoothly by Monday. For the beginners, if you have any questions feel free to add me and PM in game or you can generally find me on IRC when I'm there.
I adamantly suggest reading Joe DaSmoe's most recent article about wellness and fighting, particularly if you need some further help understanding the mechanics of it all:

Good luck with Meals On Wheels James. You'll do great.
Nice James, great writing.
Great work on the MoW. I have faith that you will take it places! You and Ekim will be a good team!
I'm confident you have the commitment necessary to MoW people down. 😉
It definitely a useful program...it was very hard getting by the first few days...thankfully I made just enough money to feed myself in the beginning...but it got tight a couple of times.

TBH, MoW didn't help me too much. It took two weeks to send in food that lasted 3 days. I provided for myself from the start.
voted thanks for the handouts of food 🙂
@Sooner - Now MoW is on track and food is being handed out within 2 days at the latest.
AP Calc exam...haha the BC exam made me want to kill myself because of all the Taylor series. Anyway, glad to see MoW is back on track 🙂
@Sooner - Even though it took two weeks and you might have provided for yourself, all you did was fill out a form and you got free food. Free food man. That either a couple bucks if you sell them, or 3 days without worrying about buying anything. I was getting into the habit of fending for myself, and when the MoW's came, they really helped me out. I almost have enough to the state i really want to now, and that's all possible because i didn't need to buy food for 3 days
Thanks Pheno for those kind words. MoW helped me out a few weeks ago as well before the job market could even support buyin q1 food.
Good luck and thank you for the MOW program. I got food within 24 hours of signing up and that made it possible for me to stay healthy and get a better job. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Thanks for yur help!
No problem, glad I could help.
MoW sure helped me. You do a good thing, friend. Thanks to MoW, i am less concerned about food, as it is no longer a prime issue. With the fact that i am likely not paid enough to buy daily food, MoW literally saved my life. And if i don't need to spen much on food, i can save that money for what i may need it for.
Thanks, You really do a great thing.

Good luck with MoW James, and with finals too 😉
