【jamesw for President】 Once more into the breach
Hell The Great
ohey. Over the past 4 weeks, you've probably seen a ton of messages from me, a fair few articles, and if you use Discord, then you've seen me pestering people pretty much on a daily basis. I am not satisfied with how this term has gone, there is always room for improvement: but that's not to say this month has been awful.
Things have woken up, somewhat, and it's great to see a hunger from both new and old players. Unfortunately not much of this hunger is to help out, but people are generally open to the idea of working together and trying to improve coordination: which is better than nothing.
So my goal this month has been to try and cover for Ministers as much as possible and help out wherever I can. The vast majority of people I asked to help in ministries haven't really been around, but it's to be expected when you have 6 new players in Government: this isn't exactly the first time it's happened.
But minus the negatives: I can genuinely say that I think I've been a pretty decent President. On the international stage, we've started getting recognition from our allies for our coordination. We may be small, and we'll never be noticed or recognized as being awesome, but people do notice even halflings like us when we hit together. The time I've spent messaging everyone has lead to me not just encouraging people to get onto Discord and use the wealth of knowledge of our older players, but has also lead to people sticking around, and becoming more aware of things. The amount of gold we gave out on TG loans is triple what it was in previous months. That is progress.
As well as that, whilst I would love to see more activity from MUs, our funding has resulted in a growth of damage across divisions. Instead of being 0.8% of the world's damage, we're now ~1%. Legit bros, we made it, we are the 1%. Growing by a quarter in a month is fantastic, and part of the reason why I wish to seek another term as President. I'm active, I have what it takes to do the job well, and I feel that whilst my plans for last month on the whole have worke

Fail to see the hunger from new or old guys...
It doesn't surprise me that more people have had TG loans, seeing as it's actually been advertised...
Be interesting to see if our damage has actually gone up in the long run or if the damage as been skewed by you and Frags dick measuring contest...
All in all, it's not been a groundbreaking term, you don't need to blow ya trumpet seeing as you have no one to run against, but it's been refreshing seeing someone on your side finally take an interest.
nor thirst.... nor thirst
blow ya trumpet? really ?
Not everyone is as vocal in their support/opposition... Damage was up by more than me/frag, and is still above where it was.. so it's looking OK - but you're right in that a lot more could be done. If there was more people around to do stuff 🙂
The only way you are going to get people to engage is with a story, a narrative, something that people can rally behind. An internal threat, an external threat or even simply an adventure with or without a pal.
Still reckon our 'Round the World TW' is a winning idea.
Great , Wayne , right, you only fail in the last sentence. Fighting does not engage, it has been frag-ized long ago.
Think about the logistics of it Alpha and you'll realise it's not just fighting. You start in the eUK, pick and direction and return to the eUK. Your gonna have to contact numerous countries some that we have had very little contact with,, use diplomacy and other relationships to gain access to regions, gonna have to butter up the more stubborn ones, fighting is just a by product of the 101 other things we would need to do as a community in order to make it successful.
I actually like that idea
This time offer a decent pay for newspaper articles, starting at 3000 + 100*number of votes.
jamesw is the player that (years ago) had a "car thief" steal his car, hack the password on his laptop left in the car, then open a file on his decktop with ALL of the eUK erepublik passwords, then log into several eUK government accounts and empty them all.
What a coincidence that the theif was alsoonce of the other 2000 eUK players and valued the game highly enough to leave a trail of evidence linking him to a crime!
Or maybe he is just a liar? Just a thought 🙂
8/10 car thieves would do the same.
I think 10/10 wouldn't know what eRepublik is or be able to find people to sell eRepublik passwords to.
