Join the new world

Today we would like to Introduce to you the new and Improved Joey Development Scheme, the scheme is a revamp of the old Centrelink scheme and we have added additional tasks. We have tried to make sure that the Governments helping arm around the shoulder to our new players guides them further into the game and helps improve the chances of player retention. Along with the reforms to the ADF we believe that the future of eAustralia has never been in more safer and more caring hands.

So below you will find the new tasks, a Competition with 5gold for the winner donated by your JDS Directors and some new and Improved avatars.



In real life Centrelink is a scheme run by the Australian Government to help those who the Government feels needs it, It does have some stigma to it as does every benefit scheme through out the world...as this is a game we felt a fresh name and attitude was needed. JDS provides you with 21 tasks and you have the freedom of choice to complete whichever tasks you feel you want to. Of course some are very simple and some do require effort on behalf of the new player but the JDS tasks have now been modified to make sure that you are not cast adrift after just a month, no, we felt it was Important to continue with our support to a point we feel that you would be more than capable to flee the nest.

Along with the reforms to the Australian Defence Force we are trying to ensure that today's young players prosper and herald in a prosperous future for us all, and usher in a new dawn for eAustralia.



As with all our other competitions this one is just as simple, all we ask is that if you wish to participate then you must have been on the Centrelink scheme either in July, August or September. To enter is simple, just send a PM to either JDS Directors - Dr Hugh Jardon or Claire-Louise and just ask to be entered into the prize draw. As always the first name picked at random will win the gold.



The below tasks are designed to help new players to eAustralia and if you complete any of these tasks then you will receive 200 Q4 food and 5 Q7 tanks for each task completed. When you have completed a task contact Directors Claire-Louise or Dr Hugh Jardon and we will send you your rewards. It really is that simple because your Government really just wants to help you find your feet, there are no catches, you do not have to repay the rewards back at a later date. So, what are the tasks? -

Task 1 - Join the Australian Defence Force Military Unit - There are many benefits from joining a Military Unit including doing your daily orders set by the MU. These reward you with a 100 energy health bar and a bazooka to be used when you are a higher rank, but for now they will be stockpiled in your storage. The Australian Defence Force is specifically there to help young players - those in Division 1 and 2, and you will be regularly when you attend the ADF roll calls on the forums (more information on that in Task 10).

Task 2 - Join a political party. Playing a part in the political side is an option open to you but if you wish to represent your country in eAustralian senate then you have to be part of a political party. It also will open up doors to parts of our community you may miss otherwise. Parties can be found HERE

Task 3 - Upload an Avatar. It’s a simple as that! You can upload an avatar/edit your profile by clicking your name on the left side of the screen. Avatars have to be a .jpg image and the ideal size is 150x150 pixels. You can also ask for us to make you an avatar...details can be found below.

Task 4 - Have 15 eAustralians on your friends list. You can add people by clicking on their profile and clicking the “add friend” button on the top right of their profile. The more friends you have, the more help and support you will get, and the more you will get to know the community better!

Task 5 - Send an in-game message to the current Prime Minister (President). Our current Prime Minister is Flatty. Just pop him a quick message saying hello - he’d love to hear from you, and he doesn’t bite!

Task 6 - Reach level 15. This one doesn’t take long at all!

Task 7 - Reach Level 20. Again, doesn’t take much effort at all to hit level 20!

Task 8 - Reach Division 2 (Level 25). This will take just a little bit of time.

Task 9 - Register on the eAustralian Forums and play a part in our growing community. You will meet many friendly people who are always willing to help you.

Task 10 - Once registered on the eAustralian Forums , join the Australian Defence Force section. This is how you would receive your supplies from the ADF, by attending weekly roll calls (which is just posting a quick “I’m here” in that weeks roll call thread).

Task 11 - Complete 10 posts on the forums. Simple as that, they can be posts anywhere, about anything, so long as they adhere to the forum rules.

Task 12 - Get on IRC. You just enter your eRepublik name and you’re automatically thrown into the eAustralia IRC room!

Task 13 - Earn your first True Patriot medal. You get these by completing a certain amount of damage for eAustralia and the game will also reward you with 5 gold for achieving this.

Task 14 - Achieve your first hard worker medal. You gain this medal after training and fighting for 30 days. They don’t have to be concurrent days, just so long as at some point you have worked and trained a total of 30 days.

Task 15 - Earn 100 strength points through training.

Task 16 - Obtain your first Super Soldier medal (250 strength points). Keep training, you’ll soon get it! You’ll also get a 5 gold reward every time you get a Super Soldier medal, which you get at every 250 strength (250, 500, 750, 1000 etc…).

Task 17 - Obtain your second Super Soldier medal (500 Strength points).

Task 18 - Upgrade your free training ground at least once. Upgrading your free training ground will mean that you will gain more strength every day. To upgrade your free training ground, click on “My Places” on the top bar, then click Training Grounds (next to your companies).
The top training ground is your free one, and it costs 20 gold to upgrade to a Q2 quality training ground. We would advise that you actually wait until there is a Training Ground deal on (you’ll see this at the top of your homepage when the deal is on), meaning that you can upgrade your Training Ground for 45% less gold, so instead of it costing you 20 gold, it will cost you 11 gold. Using this training ground will mean you gain 10 strength a day, instead of 5.

Task 19 - Reach the in-game rank of Sergeant. You’ll get this one pretty quickly too!

Task 20 - Reach the in-game rank of Colonel. Just a little bit more playing this game will get you to this one.

Task 21 - Complete all tasks! Seems daunting, but with a little time all of these tasks can be easily completed.



Now we know that as a new player you won't have an avatar yet and uploading one is one of your tasks, you can usually acquire one from your political party or Military Unit. In the meantime if you so wish we will be happy to provide you with one just so you can rid yourself of the horrid standard new player one that eRepublik gives all new players.

We provide a choice of three colours and designs and you can choose whatever picture or design you like, and the three examples are featured below. So if you want one just comment below...we regularly check the comments anyway so you won't be ignored.
