I'm not sure exactly but we picked up 1000-1500 new citizens this past week or so. We (myself and abt 25 Albanians that keep an open PM) briefly discussed and then put the dictator back in place to protect Albanian control of our govt and I, today, decided to raise the work tax in order to discourage cc farming multis in Albania.
There is no way for us to know what the purpose of these multis are. No reputable Albanian has claimed them and ofc the admins don't care at all. These two steps should discourage the two most likely purposes of the accounts.
A min wage hike was considered, but we have several ppl msg us abt groups of Albanians taking jobs at market rate. This may come as well tho..
Just updating you guys on recent events, please feel free to comment and discuss below.
Thanks, Colin

Min wage has been pushed up as well.. pls carry your multis somewhere else
As far as i know Colin this is an update from Plato.
First he asked players which were the MUs that helped newbies.
Then he tested joining to a Switzerland MU and stuff and he said it was for a new players stuff.
He tested last year advertising in Indonesia (real life) and brought like 2-3k players with ads.
Probably he has started a new massive babyboom in some countries in the world in order to re-balance it since Greeks and Croats are no longer using the visa and he is about to lose the game.
He didn't ask us anything.. and without a retention plan and involvement of the community, a babyboom does nothing.
This very article is about how to kill or run them all off.. thinking they are multis.
He asked on the forums, here: https://forum.erepublik.com/index.php?/topic/5019-suggestions-for-military-units-from-your-ecountry/
who the fuck goes to the erep ingame forums? xD
Lately they are giving a lot of insight there...
But its just an old theory, erepublik had no changes because meanwhile greeks, croats, serbs, and romanians kept buying packs massively, Plato had an steady income of money and can pay debts from the loans he took couple years ago. If he changed anything, he could risk losing that steady income.
Now he has lost it because the game balance is broken, so he has to do something to regain that income or close definetly, investing in advertising is cheap and if you check which countries he is advertising, they are countries filled with real life issues with neighbours so he probably expects to gain a few pack buyers... but he will have to do a lot more changes if he expects those players to stay.

CC Farming on a grand scale??
Presumably, but there's no way to know.
All the tkts I saw were the generic "we see nothing illegal" but apparently the Egyptians got a tkt answered referring to ad campaign..
Just no way to know and if it is an ad campaign.. how fking stupid are the admins to not coordinate it with the communities involved? Maybe we don't piss ourselves over it and maybe we manage to retain some of them..
When I first saw them in Pakistan with names like citizen XXXXXX I figured it was a new feature a default number given to new players and they could change it for free.
Yea.. it's the 'we ignore multis to inflate the appearance of participation' feature
Hard work for admins, they have to catch them all!
hahahahhahaha
Need a good dog 😛

thx for the shout

welcome back han solo?
oh, wait.
Well, it's the same in many countries. Egypt has 1000+ new accs for example. And the admins said it's their marketing campaign in the same time.
The tkts I saw, until that one today, were all the standard "nothing illegal here" nonsense they always put out.
They didn't know they had an ad campaign last week?

Online now: 11

multis
They come from facebook ad from erepublik.
maybe.. we've actually discussed that in the comments.. but why the fk are we just now hearing it?
If they realy invest in BabyBoom this game will bankrupts soon.
Wow interesting
Make Albania great again 😛
o7.
LOL. Just be happy that you get new players. At least some, maybe most of them are real players due to Pluto advertising in social media.
I understand the suspicion of those names, but afaik that has to do with the fb registration automatically giving you that changeable name. I'd wait and see.
Yep. Facebook logs them directly into the game. The new players arent filling any register forms , so therefore they have no nick names.
Just one question, why don't you write in albanian, what about for those who don't speak english.
He is not Albanian.
What, how can we accept to be ruled from someone who is not albanian, stupid game.
you are not "ruled" by me anyway.. protected would be a more accurate description. xD
But agreed.. stupid game.
He has given a lot for Albania. And don't talk stupid too soon.
They are fyromians. They have started to learn albanian and work for us. We totally understand it's visa first but can we just say Albania 2nd?
Maaan, the taxes are crazy, c'mon catch the multis but ur killing us. -38 all for work tax on a 100 ALL job? that is pure eBankruptcy for us people who don't play with a credit card.
