Mission ‘Strength’

Day 2,721, 13:22 • Published in United Kingdom

• by Lord of Bones

So our biggest rival in the eWorld is across the pond... France. Having monitored the egov statistics with great interest these last couple of weeks it is plain to see the UK and France are almost level in damage every day. However one worrying statistic sticks out.

France has 100 extra active fighters. But what else did I find?

Now unless we can magic up 100 new active players they will always beat us in numbers and over the countless hours a battle takes to unfold France are more likely to have more fighters fighting at any one time. When the direct war kicked off France was able to pull away in the strength department. We did 7.7bn damage one day and they did 10.8bn this is because they have a lot more two clickers who perform when needed see stats below.

UK Statistics
- 134 people are max training (Gaining 90 Strength daily) (41.87😵
- 14 people gain between 70-89 Strength daily (4.38😵
- 16 people gain between 50-69 Strength daily (5😵
- 111 People gain between 49-20 Strength daily (34.69😵
- 45 people gain between 19-1 Strength daily (14.06😵

320 actively trained yesterday. It is a bank holiday weekend and not everyone remembers or is available to train daily.

Frances Statistics
- 219 people are max training (Gaining 90 Strength daily) (30.97😵
- 14 people gain between 70-89 Strength daily (1.98😵
- 32 people gain between 50-69 Strength daily (4.57😵
- 280 People gain between 49-20 Strength daily (39.60😵
- 162 people gain between 19-1 Strength daily (22.91😵

707 actively trained yesterday for France more than double that did for UK.

Vitals
Over 41% of the UK’s population are max training according to those who actually trained yesterday. That is higher than France’s 31% and this figure is vital. The UK has fewer fighters so to balance this effect on the battlefield we need our limited fighting force to be STRONGER to equal the numbers.

Based on total numbers and taking the highest figure per group total strength gained yesterday was:

UK = 12,074 + 1246 + 1104 + 5439 + 2025 = TOTAL: 21,888 Strength gained.
France = 19,710 + 1246 + 2208 + 13720 + 3078 = TOTAL: 39,962 Strength gained.

These numbers are very worrying for us. France is gaining almost twice the amount of strength we do daily as a nation. But they only have 100 more active fighters on average, so we know a lot more of France are two clickers. But If we allow this trend to continue we will never overtake them as a nation. Those two clickers are still training more then ours and that makes them a huge threat in the future.

How do we react?
I have already mentioned this in congress; but it was quickly drowned by further arguments about our current tax rates. But having received no help from my government for the cost of training grounds I was very lucky to receive help and loans from the guys in the Royal Navy and UKRP. Of Course I have supported the Plato bank account to boost my head start in the game. But many players joining will not want to invest real money.

So what do I propose?
If we push harder to see a permanent fund setup from tax revenue say 30% of all taxes a month are keep in a pot. This pot can be distributed to the most active and reliable fighters. Helping them directly improve their TG’s. I think we should ask people to apply but I also think a ministry should hand select. For example this guy…

Active daily + fights every day!
I would invest in him, get him to max them TGs and get him dealing much more damage over time.

Funding
The idea of war bonds is being discussed in congress. I’m worried this will be sank into a battle and we never see the money again. I would rather we bite the bullet and make a big investment and see a big return in the many months and years to come from extra strength.

Issuing a War bond for £1000cc is about 4 gold.
So someone investing £50,000cc in war bonds would generate 200 gold (roughly) for Training Ground Loans. Increasing a Q4 TG in the offers costs 55g.

So I would like to see War bonds issued and that money invested in a REAL TG programme not the shambles we see from the government at the moment. This is a scheme of loans and so we should see most money returned. Issuing war bonds allows us to get this programme started properly.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the matter.

I would support an across the board 2% rate of tax to begin re-building our coffers without risking being in a situation where we have borrowed ourselves out of one crisis to then be unable to pay our dues back in the next.

This 2% would be temporary until we have all our bonuses back, where I think it would be suitable to re-review the situation in accordance with our new priorities

"Active daily + fights every day!"
Which makes absolutely no sense in the lowest divisions unless you want to become a weakfag later on and then stop playing due to being utterly useless when it comes to fighting.

"Having monitored the egov statistics with great interest"
It does not have the correct numbers, merely an estimate. egov leaves out about 20-25% of the users.

Lord of Bones Day 2,721, 13:43

Still its some sort of detail. We would be daft no to use it right?

Division 1 fighters need clear advice on strength training. Not being plastered with food from the NHS so they level up and become weak fags as you put it.

Yeah, uh we are still stronger and better than they are. Perhaps they have all of these fancy statistics, but even if they have more strength p/day etc. We have better allies. We have more people who are willing to fight. We also don't waste our energy. For example when the MoD said not to fight against Canada we didn't. When MoD said fight against France we did and we won. As a whole the eUK is much stronger than France and looking at the statistics we have a better Div 3/4. Div 3/4 are basically the only divisions that really matter in a battle - as shown by our MEK friends who were beaten mercilessly in Div 1/2 but we were beaten mercilessly in Div 3/4 and they obviously won because of it. Besides, our biggest enemy isn't France at all - in fact even if they are sly enough to sneak in an attack, we are half way through a peace proposal with them. Our biggest enemy is MTOs and PTOs and they are mainly, the only things that will ever really bring us down to our hands and knees.

Despite all of this, this is a very good article giving some good factual information.

We were actually beaten mercilessly pretty much across the board during the MEK MTO. D1 only held its own thanks to a handful of players (mostly Luke and Rory)

Luke Braferd Day 2,721, 21:12

yes we are stronger than them but they have stronger allies than us, if we talk about MPPs just look at the MPP battle between us and France, France mainly don't priority their dmg in SEoE yet it's hard for us to even win against them because their allies keep hitting against us.

so far we are safe from PTOers so we don't have to worry. and our biggest enemy are not PTOers & MTOs.

perilouspanther Day 2,722, 09:12

Then who is? We thought we were safe back with dapper, but were we?

I enjoy a good look at statistics and I am with you on the fact we need to try and count act France's growing strength and step up the development of our citizens. I do not believe we should issue war bonds as they will saddle us with more debt and hopefully we can close this war as planned with France in the next few days.

You call the current government a 'shambles', but you are talking about taking out a debt that the UK is not currently going to be able to pay back. 1) Because the admins haven't returned our orgs (we can't issue money from the National Account without a org) and 2) Because our taxes aren't even covering the basic running costs of a country let alone providing finances for loan schemes.

certacito Day 2,721, 22:48

An excellent article.

The figures emphasise the importance of maintaining strong diplomatic ties with allies who are willing to come and fight alongside us when we need assistance - and also does not take into account the determination of eUK fighters to engage with the enemy. Whilst it is true that France *does* have more fighters that eUK, the eUK team *are* engaging in combat more vigorously than the French.

Ultimately, what is required here is ti *increase* the eUK population and keep them alive!

Voted and endorsed.

To quote Churchill: "Fucking hell, so much bullshit, I wouldn't even know where to start."

sapi.tempur Day 2,722, 12:24

whoa, awesome article
,but in battle u need strong mpp and alliance too....

thegreatsponger Day 2,722, 12:30

The only problem with only giving the TG loans to people who fight is that people need to two click to get enough strength to go up a division but I like the so much in a pot idea though well done and would like to congratulate u on a great term we knew it would be good as your in UKRP but well done have been a lot more active then most recently
