Wake Me Up When NAP Time is Over
Jude Conners
Greetings and Salutations. I'm Jude Conners and I want to talk to you about NAPping. It seems like narcolepsy is running more rampant than Hulkamania did in the 80s. Everyone is taking NAPs and soon there will be no more fighting in a game where fighting is the only thing to do.
Laura is in bed, about to take a NAP
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder inhibiting the brain's ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. People with narcolepsy just cannot stay awake. A person with narcolepsy is likely to become drowsy or fall asleep, often at inappropriate times and places, or just be very tired throughout the day. Any of this sound familiar? Maybe like your experience lately playing eRepublik?

Plato has made sure that this game is all about warfare. The military module is the only module worth a damn in today's game, and even that statement is stretching it. Coincidentally, the military module is also the module that can make Plato the most money. It also is the module that effects every other module in the game. War affects the political module: a wiped country cannot elect Congressmen. War affects the newspaper module: writers tend to write more during war and nations need to post battle orders. War affects the economic module: We buy more weapons when we have to fight. So why would anyone stifle the one greatest part of the game?
Players have been complaining for years about how boring the game has become. And now, leaders of alliances and nations of the world are making it even more dull with excessive NAPs. I mean, what are you trying to do, chase even more players away?
I'll tell you what... Wake Me Up When NAP Time is Over.
As always, it's been your pleasure.
Listen to the Magic Carpet Ride with Jude Connors - LIVE every Friday Night 19:00-22:00 eRepublik time on RadioStar.FM. You'll be glad you did!

i do not have time 🙁
Nice one 😃
You'll be hibernating throughout the winter like a bear or something if you want to sleep through the NAPs, lol.
We're in a period of alliance upheaval.
Track the NAPs, weigh them against the MPPs and predict the new emerging alliances 🙂
oh. Less Wars = Less money to plato.
I just want to see his reaction about this. when it comes to his profit, he'll do something.
Oh my... First pic had me like... oh what I would do with her...
Voted for Laura.

won't last that long, new alliances inbound I reckon! Just waiting for the first nation to leave Asteria and get called the killers 😉
The changes made to the media module prove at least that there's an interest to make the game broader then just the military module again. The focus on the military module and the destruction of balance within is what makes people leave. It's easy to see how Media influences Politics and War just like Politics influences Media and War. Broken Economy is broken but its interference in the other modules is also clear. The eWorld can only persist if the right balance exists between all of the modules.
That said, NAP-time is the most interesting political time of the year. While the politicians put sand in the eyes of the soldiers to make them sleep, the night is theirs to bring us new enemies to fight and new friends to cherish. 😉
