This is your official elk petting instructor speaking

Hello Norway,

as you may have noticed, I was declared the (official!) elk petting instructor by our beloved Yanisin.

This has many advantages for you:

1. To teach the world the do´s and dont´s of elg petting is a very time consuming job. From now on you can concentrate on doing what has to be done in eRepublik, without worrying that strangers are coming and treating the elks not correctly.

1.1. Since the elks are a full time job it would be very nice if you could inform me about the important things going on in the game, i.e. who we are at war with, what has to be done, what these strange thingies at the market mean and why I can´t buy tanks. Which means: You try as usual to tell me what I should do, and I care for the elks.

2. It is very important the elks are treated right, therefor it is forbidden to be mean to the official elk petting instructor.

3. An elk petting manual will follow.

4. Why can´t I buy tanks?

Great! I always wanted my very own pet elk... 😃 😃

first lesson, explain what elk is

M. de Ruyter Day 3,060, 17:34

it's the Norwegian moose 😉

Yanisin Day 3,061, 00:18

As you remember you recieved a welcome basket when you moved here. It contained 3 items. An ax, which is the shapr matallic thingy. A winter jacket which you are wearing and finally an Elk. The elk is the animal out in your garden with a weight of around 350-400kg.

Clorofila Day 3,061, 00:28

Joshua Morriseau Day 3,061, 19:11

Yanisin Day 3,061, 20:01

Once had a pair of pet Elks, but the neighbours complainted about their noise... especially during the mating season. 😛 Had to set them free. 🙁

Yanisin Day 3,061, 03:39

Fortunately this is now a problem of the past with our own official Pet Elk Instructor in place 🙂

My elk seems temperamental, is it okay to feed them pot brownies or will it make him sick? I just want my elk to be chill. When I say "Be chill, Elk" (his name is "Elk E. Elkinson Esq.) he just snorts. What am I doing wrong?

Zinitus Day 3,060, 23:24

It can be two reasons for that...:

One: If you followed my advice yesterday, by using mating noises to get him back from his escape, he migth be a little bit disapointed today.... 🙂

Two: Maybe you dont smell like an elk? It`s not enough to approach your elk by talking to him, you also have to have some elk-fragrance (it`s best not to go in details in this in publicity) in your pockets.

Good Luck!

Caute Day 3,060, 23:36

Thanks for the advice, Zinitus, I'll keep you posted on E.E.E. Esq.'s status. o7

Yanisin Day 3,060, 23:36

Pot brownies is used by many pet elk owners to chill down their elk. As long as you don't exceed 100 kilo brownies per day, all should be chilled

Caute Day 3,060, 23:40

Ah, maybe I wasn't using enough! It definitely wasn't even near 1 kilo of brownie goodness. Perhaps that's why E.E.E. Esq. isn't as chill as he could be. Or maybe it was the wrong brownie mix. Hmm, I might have to experiment with his diet.

Are there any legal issues with using a pet elk as a form of transportation? Asking for a friend, but if anyone has a spare saddle...

Eris Caelestis Day 3,061, 00:11

What is the effect of cat nip on an elk?

Yanisin Day 3,061, 00:25

Cat nip too works fine on an elk. Especially before you are going to have him on your lap for evening belly scratching. Elks loves belly schratching.

Clorofila Day 3,061, 00:40

ah.... that's the well known treatment to wapasha the patient

Votado!. Awesome.

Yanisin Day 3,061, 21:42

@Nothos:

You asked about legal issues with using elks as transportation. I am happy to inform you there are no legal restrictions and your friend can freely use his elk as transportation when he wants to shop or for regular pleasure.

In eNorway we ride them bareback. Climb aboard!
