[MoD] The Green Beret - Updated Rules

Day 4,778, 11:18 Published in Netherlands Netherlands by Ministerie van Defensie



Dear citizens of the Netherlands,

The Green Beret Program was initiated by the government to promote fighting in ground battles in an effort to raise the rank of our stronger ground citizens. In order to really play a part in international wars and to have an impact in this game we need to increase our number of citizens with NL Legend ranks as each Legend rank increases your battle influence by 10%!




The government has come to the point that it wants to invest more in our ground fighters. Now that the realistic potential for several citizens to acquire Legend ranks in the short to mid term and our monthly budget has increased the rules for the green beret program will be updated. Unlike the last rule update this update is not focussing on selectively supporting ground fighters but on supporting all ground fighters who are deemed strong enough to make a difference at times of war and are able to reach the legend ranks our country needs them to reach.


The Rules
The Green Beret rule changes can be implemented by the government as the game progresses. Due to the succesful resource wars and increase in government budget it's time for an update of the rules.

Eligible Citizens
- All Dutch soldiers with NL citizenship that meet the strength and rank requirements* are eligible for the Green Beret Program.
- Dutch soldiers having at least 175 000 strength + Titan rank are eligible for the Green Beret Program.
*Exceptions to this rule can be made when at real war.
- Dutch Soldiers with a ground rank of Legend XI - XIX receive 50% of the normal rewards while Legend XX receive 25% of the normal rewards.
- Dutch soldiers need to do at least 1 billion in damage during the previous week to receive rewards.
- A 'damage cap' is set at 50bn damage.

Payment
- The weekly payment is based on 1 billion = 5000 cc.
- During events the government can reduce the 1 billion = 5000 cc reward to a lower cc reward per 1 billion damage.
- Payment is done in cc (NLG).


Rank Rewards
- Every Dutch citizen who reaches a Titan rank receives 100 Q7 weapons
- Every Dutch citizen who reaches Legend of the Netherlands below Legend XI rank receives 200 Q7 weapons.
- Every Dutch citizen who reaches the rank Legend of the Netherlands XI or higher receives 100 Q7 weapons




How To Do Damage
Some may feel the prospect of doing 1 billion a week is a pipe-dream, but fear not! Even without packs and very high ranks, one can easily do such an amount of damage. At week change, try to spend all your energy and perhaps some Energy Bars on the first epic battle in your division. The government is trying to organise weekly epics in one of our lower divisions for TP medals. Fighting in epic battles earns you double prestege points. This in turn grants you more energy recovery and energy bars rewards later on in the week.

Clarification on Event Damage
During events that give a lot of "free" damage, the Government retains the right to temporarily adjust the amount of payment - in principle to not overspend and reward those that really made the most of such occurrences despite all the freebies.




Signed,

Minister of Defence and President of the Netherlands
