Latest news before the elections
Plato
Dear Citizens,
General elections tomorrow
The World of Erepublik is preparing for another round of general elections. This time the stakes are higher and it will be much harder in some countries to gain a Presidential or Congress seat. The Spanish for example had a very interesting initiative (by: tagaro http://www.erepublik.com/profile-13068.html), they organized a political debate using chat (giving us a feature idea for V1) . If you can understand Spanish you can check out a summary of the debate in this article: http://www.erepublik.com/article-40111.html most of the candidates participated.
Meanwhile we prepare for the elections day from an admin point of view:
- We will clean out the parties of dead or banned Citizens; so if you will see that your party has suddenly less members, it means that the banned or dead members in you party have been removed. (We are working on a automated solution for this)
- We will keep a close eye on the Citizens that will vote tomorrow so that the results will not be affected by potential fake accounts - beware that we will ban also the main accounts that we catch creating fake accounts even if they are important members of the community. Cheating is cheating and it's bad for the community and ultimately bad for the one who cheats.
Small change in the productivity formula
One of the variables deciding each employee's work productivity is what we call "employees daily presence". It is calculated based on 2 factors: the total productivity of the Employees that worked in that day and the total productivity of the Employees working in the company. So a company that has it's workers coming to work daily will have a maximized productivity. The new formula is not so drastic and the influence will not be ranged from 33% to 300% as before, but with values from 80% to 120%.
We understand that some simply can't come everyday. On this we are thinking of ways for holidays not to influence company productivity and also thinking of potential citizen development activities that could be done weekly rather than daily for the citizens who might prefer a longer once per week visit to the Erepublik world rather than a short daily one. Ideas and feedback welcome...
New country page
We are proud to present you the new Country pages (Social, Economy, Politics, Military, Media), Sweden's: http://www.erepublik.com/country-38.html
The pages are loading very fast and are presenting verified data. The pages should be bug free so if you see something strange there please report it to us and we will resolve it asap.
You can also have a look at the regions page that is now optimized. Madrid's: http://www.erepublik.com/region-14-society.html
The most important features provided in those new pages are: valid macro economical stats and easer access to each country marketplace to check prices (link in the right side of the economy page).
The next optimized page that we will provide will be the Marketplace.
Thank you from the Erepublik team
LATER EDIT: Don't forget the rule that only the Presidents of the top 5 parties in each country can participate at the elections!

"beware that we will ban also the main accounts that we catch creating fake accounts even if they are important members of the community" So... You haven't done that before?
Awesome. Good job admins.
I'll use the updated macroeconomics stats to produce a new league table. anyone interested should subscribe to my newspaper: http://www.erepublik.com/company-1380.html
Wonderful to hear that you're removing banned/dead accounts from parties - saves me having to manually go through and bump them down to the bottom of the list so they don't get in to congress. The new country pages are great, but would you be able to put the list of recent press releases back on the Politics Page? Without that, the only way to see new press statements is by going to the party's page, which I think won't get as much traffic. Also, I just looked and it says that 100% of congress in Australia belongs to one party, when it definitely isn't.
i guess, 45% of Erepublik Player are clone. And you should consider it before all player getting bored. It is beta, and people want to try the system. I know that's bad, and i do not agree with whom use fake account. But, it's still beta! So let them enjoy the beta. If Erepublik has launch the Alpha version, then admin can do more strict rules, but i think that's not now, you can do that after Alpha. Just my 2 cents, you can agree or disagree with me.. just my 2 cents
Great progress. And nice idea tagaro. The new pages are awesome fast and cool. But I believe that the military ranks aren't quite well done or updated.
@habisi_aku "It is beta, and people want to try the system. I know that's bad, and i do not agree with whom use fake account. But, it's still beta! So let them enjoy the beta."
Maybe if there was not so many fake accounts, the game would be more interesting and dynamic. There would also be more room for more invitations (to new players).
@PhuSion9, yeah maybe.. i hope so, i also enjoying my stay on erepublik. Play safe, play honest, play fair.. that's more fun than cheatting
Thanks for the mention! The debate has been a success.
Somehow im getting the feeling habisi_aku is using another count
@EI Trail, no! I'm using my own char, my only char the only one. 🙂 but my girlfriend also play her char on my PC.. the same PC, but 2 char with 2 different people, me with my char, and she with her char. That's not break any rules 😛
Thanks u say about spain... really I feeling very nice u mention about... now all people in spain make all possible for elections are more important of actuality history of spain.... I only say rest of new world.. Invitation pass for spain and see the political make now... thanks and greetings....
Good work on changing the work formula, I always thought the last one was a bit too drastic.
Thanks for the new stats and the mention of Spain. I agree with the new work formula, because on holliday mode the complany was punished unfairly
Good work.
Also, I'm sure you know about the gold exploit, but might as well give it a reminder here.
Furthermore, getting my companies back would be awesome.
Congratulations... Nice to know about your moves to destroy fake accounts and I'm very agreed with the new productivity formula...Good work! I'll be waiting for military advances 😉
Great update. This is my favorite of all of the announcements thus far actually. You guys have been doing your research 😉
Thank you, the new country-pages looks awesome!
This is definatly great. This also reminds me to not let my friend vote at my house, I don't feel like getting banned because of him -.-
Reduction from 300% to 120%??? that will drastically reduce the productivity of the last workers, and of the enterprise in overall if the productivity cost of the goods is not also reduced. I could feel it on mine, I got from a productivity around 30 to a productivity around 13 (and I know I was the last one because my boss told me). I don't know if making life harder for the enterpreneur is such a good idea. OTOH I could have missed completely the point and have the math wrong (which is not unusual for me 😕 ), so please 'fix me'.
eIndonesian Pres. Candidate of eIndonesia please Show-Up and tell us your plan, I Know indonesian have "Silent is a Gold" habits but please change that. I Already at front of Vote Box, but I confused, which one I want to vote. Please look at Spanish. I Demand to not vote before 6.00 eRep or the candidate make a press release and the voters already clear for who your voice for.
@maeghith You interpreting it totally the wrong way. This only reduces the INFLUENCE of the daily presence, therefore you don't get so much penalized with workers miss work.
I suggest you read this: http://www.erepublik.com/article-8128.html For further details.
you rule.
@Panca, i'm here! showing my face from the beginning in this article! Don't you see me now??
@admin, you should blacklist and open proxy IP... and please check for indonesian new citizens , 17 new citizen for this day ? that's to fast...
and now it's 22 new citizen...
the election's day seems to be quiet and running. CONGRATS
I don't think that low productivity for a company during holidays is a problem. In the real world, the productivity is lower during holydays, why should it not be the same in erepublik?
admin, please take a look at this! someone boost their vote and some glitch on ER database! http://www.erepublik.com/forum-topic-5761-10.html
i really2 concerned about the 2nd paragraph above....in ER Term of Agreement was clearly that ER didnt allow the multi account...hereby i want to discuss more about the definition of multi account...i assumed that : a person that manage or play more than 1 ER account...am i right??? so i assumed that NO ONE ARE ALLOWED to play more than 1 account (based on ER TOS)...and how about the account that used as a simulator such as Bank and so on ( i couldnt listed all of simulator that existed here)...i believe that there's a person managed more than 1 account in that case....well did u all ever hear any simulator account or the main account of it has been banned??? let me know if any....so hereby i think ER must predefine what is a multiaccount that ER didnt allowed....so people can play ER without concerned about that big "WHAT IF I AM BEING BANNED"....
@irfan, yeah, like Jack that operate one Bank in USA
Hey admin's here's an idea for you. How about a Gym where players could go to gain additional strength, above just food consumption. Player would have to pay every time used Gym, and maybe could only use it three times a week. Maybe a Q1 Gym would improve wellness, and a Q2 military training strength. And Gym's number of clients could be limited to number of employees they have -- like the Gym can have 5 clients for each employee. Just a rough idea for you to consider.
@Sasha...nice idea...but remember u can acommodate ur Gym idea by creating Gym simulator😁....u can create an account that stock a lot of gifts there, and people pay some cash to get gift from u...some kind of doctor simulation...but it's useful since this ER not accommodate our idea much 😁
can you please take a look in your mailbox ADMIN! PLEASE!
crisis!
Gym idea is good i believe.
But there should be a limit on the gym training for every day.
You admins are diong a good job and restoring falcons companies were good to... exept that i bought it just before u gave it to him for 120 gold and i would like something just some PKR so i can start a new one plz
