Petition for Perception
fingerguns
We begin with a brief telling of an episode in the history of Admin-Citizen relations.
Over a year ago (It was September 2, 2015, day 2842), fresh off of a successful event called “Winner Takes it All”, Admin announced a game change that had taken effect immediately(!) Here is the exact wording of the announcement:
www.erepublik.com/en/main/latest-updates/0/223
Without asking you to think too hard about the details, let’s summarize: Admin killed off nearly all of the available Prestige bonus in Epic battles.
This announcement was met by OUTRAGE. (The response was SO fast and SO bad that Admin didn’t even add an update thread to the Forum!)
By 09:37 server time, Admin had reversed its decision (as was predicted in the above referenced article).
It was the most stark example in 9 years of eRepublik of Admin responding quickly to the community. It took less than 10 hours for the eRepublik Community to influence Admin to do something smart.
Citizens of eRepublik, it is time to flex our muscle once more.
We, the eUSA Government are calling upon all citizens of the New World to sign a petition requesting that Plato introduce promised changes.
First: Perception Training.
It has been 142 days (and counting) since Admin launched Air-to-Air (ATA) combat into the battlefield. From a mechanics standpoint it has been a successful and interesting dynamic. ATA rounds are critical to campaign victory and are often fiercely contested. ATA combat has also given rise to a cottage industry (which is also woefully limited to the Q1 weapon) as well as specialists in ATA combat.
In fact, many faithful members of the eRepublik community have gone to enormous lengths to revamp entire Military Unit Infrastructures, Commune Systems, Distribution Networks, Avatar Frames, and more. All of which begs the question:
Why are we still waiting for Perception Training?
Citizens of the New World, please take one minute to sign this Petition:
Petition Plato for Percepton
You and Admin can view the results here.
Secon
😛Q6 and Q7 Housing
It has probably become embarrassing by now, hasn’t it Admin? Did you really intend to introduce Q1-5 housing only to wait 784 days (and counting) without even a whisper about expanding it to Q6 and Q7? You are responsible for the graphics that have been teasing us with the promise for over two years. Q6 and Q7 are your idea, not ours. So DO IT.
Why are we still waiting for Q6 and Q7 Houses?
Citizens of the New World, please take one minute to sign this Petition:
Petition Plato for Q6 and Q7 Houses
You and Admin can view the results here.
If these petitions are successful there will be more.
What can you do?
1: Shout this article. More than once.
2: Publish your article including links to our Petitions. (Here is the code to copy/paste in your newspaper)
3: Consider how much RL money you spend on poorly run browser games.
4: Demand that Admin pay attention to this community of gamers.

Petition for Perception
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/2623622/1/20
Sign. Shout. Re-publish.
I think adding Perception is a bad idea. We have already seen what training has done to the game. If you trained in 2010 and still do you are set. If you did not or are a new player you are screwed. The current system of ranking only damage makes a lot of sense. It is easy for new players to make a difference and it rewards old players but does so in a moderate fashion. In short your petition is stupid.
Which is why something like this would be stepped in, I get that nuance is hard for you.
In short, your comment is stupid.
Your comment doesn't make any sense. Do we just keep "stepping people" in perpetuity? Why in the world would we want to introduce another system, like perception where we would have to deal with this recurring problem. People are sick and tired of nuance, they want something big and bold but I get you don't understand that.
scrap all that, I have a better idea

When Pfeiffers are wrong but still need to support their e-bae.
This is indeed quite like the diminishing returns on str training from back in the day.
I want a navy to play with for christmas
le a petition?
salam horasmaxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Get out of this body Ronald (Ripper) Reagan !!
NO to increase the gap between poor and rich ppl !!
We are the e-99% !!
Actually, I think it is better for "regular players" like this. If they give us "Perception Training Grounds" they will probably cost ~1k gold or more for all and 10+gold/day. All that without Contracts. "Regular Player" can't afford that so nothing good for us will come out.
Anyway, I am not fighting so who gives a s**t 😃
Signed
Perception centre should be something like training ground. The only difference I think will be that in training ground you can get 90 strength / day.
With perception centre you will get 9 / day
You didn't get my point. This training ground with a little bit effort anyone can afford. That is not something they want, they want us to buy gold for RL money. Training Grounds and training will cost more, same as Contract.
Why do you think new TG and training will be cheap as this one? The only thing that makes this current TG profitable are Contracts. Contracts came long after they implemented Training Grounds. Not many players used TG at the beginning.
Signed both petitions.
Gonna shout and ask my team and MU to do signed it either
Done o/
I actually don't want Perception training at all. Like CG and chopp said, the amount of gold needed to use these centers would be too much for someone like me, and cement the new and old gap. ATA serves as a way to effectively have a leveled playing field for an important battle. Why, in my interests, would I ever want to change that?
I will however sign Q6-7 housing though.
Hmmm interesting.. agreed
If you think perception training is out of reach for you as a new player, why would you support housing you can't afford?
I'm not sure you actually understand what this is about
Because theoretically, if there is an industry for higher housing, the market creates a higher cap on housing prices with Q6-7 due to the influx of production. This, in theory, should lower prices down the line. Also, to be perfectly frank with you, the greyed out icons annoy me, and removing the Perception being permanently at zero would be nice too, literally just remove the icon in general.
Done! o/
YES
Perception Training, Great for the whales bad for everyone else.
agree. with chickenguys. wont sign the petition
Instead of not signing, VOTE NO!
They are counting yes and no'S. If you don't vote they'll just say "x people voted yes"
Vote no!
Make a better case for telling Admins that we don't want the updates they promised us long ago. Just because chickensguys (of all people) said it's bad to petition for what was promised doesn't mean it actually is.
So... who exactly said this was about CG? I was pointing out how in your petition, there is a no option, and that the impression given is that you either choose to sign it, or you don't and ignore it. Sorry we disagree, but implicating CG out of nowhere is a bit of a non-sequitor, don't you think?
You mention CG in your earlier comment. I'm not 'implicating him.' lol
"Like CG and chop said"
I guess now I'm a puppet controlled by my evil overlords and I drink their words like nectar. Suddenly by acknowledging the fact that two others had my opinion I am now convinced by them.
LUL : ^ )
Well that escalated quickly. I see you're taking to the SFP like a fish to water.
Enjoy your time here.
Sarcasm is clearly lost upon you it seems. I thought that was a silly remark, not an insult.
All this started when Admin listened to a group of organized players and rolled back 'eRepublik Rising'. This game has gone to hell in hand basket ever since that happened and Admin hasn't really listened to their citizens ever since.
Don't blame Admin for something we caused....
Your ignorance of the history of this game really is stunning, given how long you've been around.
They didn't scrap v2 because of player complaints, they did it because over half of the active community stopped logging in entirely. They haven't listened to the community since Beta, but they've never let their major design decisions be driven by the expressed wishes of the community at large.
So half the active community not logging in was not a player complaint and it was totally not organized? So, no one ever suggested that there should be a way to revolt against the government?
They should have kept V2 and let the half who stopped logging in leave. Might have actually saved the game.
Is there a counter petition somewhere?
not signed for perception...
admins are crazy if they add perceprion on i guess history low number of players... he should first rearange division system with chance for new players... than they should advertise like world of tanks... and after number of players rises significantly, than it is the right time to add perception... even now you have huge gap between top rank players and newbies... if you add perception, this gap will get like it is now on ground 🙂
So, firstly we need new players, and than perception.
About houses... agreed! 😉
Against the perception stuff. The current way of dealing with it is, even though it's not the best one, a relatively good one for new players in order to have a bit of fun. (Attention, I am talking about fun, not about Sky Hero Medals).
If you add perception training grounds right now, this section will face exactly the same problem we are currently experiencing in the ground battles.
Regarding Houses: Well, I would love to see them.
My brain hurts from reading some of those comments.
Perception can help newish players if done right.
There are lots of somewhat easy fixes that could improve the game, these are two of them!
Signed 🙂
People who are against perception centre's probably if they were asked for air combat would be against it as well. So please express your thoughts somewhere else. This is not the place to express your stupid thoughts. Sooner or later plato is going to make them available for us. We are working to get them right in time. And just be sure they are not going to be to expensive.
You are totally misrepresenting everyone. Everyone who is against perception centers supports Air Combat. The issue is that we see Air Battles as a way to level the playing field for new players and weak older players. We don't want to lose a mechanic by creating a training center that will just skew the numbers again.
Maybe perception will be increased in another way than training center ; P
and I hope so : )
Bleh, what is the benefit of perception training atm beside your "weeee, I am hitting more, this is fun \o/" feeling?
I like how the USA media is pushing forward for a better game! Keep this going guys!
WEEEEE
Didn't they promise not to introduce Q6/Q7 houses?
Cool
I translated this article to Farsi (Persian):
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-1344-2623794/1/20
please vote and leave your comments there.
Tnx
Vote no to perception training.
Yes to Q6 and Q7 houses.
Why no on perception? dont you want to get better at air battles?
Because it is totally impossible to catch up somebody who has already begun to train several years before you joined the game. At least with the ranking system the further you progress and the harder it becomes to progress even more.
So are you talking about perception or Strength if they start the perception you will be one of the first to train we all will start at the same time. right now it is at 0 there is no catching up if they start it now...
