Hold tight your pocket books. How erepublik operates

Now the core thing for any game is money. But to make money you need to keep negative articles to a minimum. Now recently they decided to give me a forfeit point for "MENTIONING ANOTHER GAME" according to their dictionary this is advertisement.
Now I dont know how that is advertisement but truly Im not as advanced programmer as they :
From this article : https://qz.com/695888/what-digital-media-could-learn-from-online-gaming-hint-in-app-purchases-for-starters/
Alexis Bonte says " Soon after gathering audience feedback, the team begins to break down every part and layer of the game in order to precisely define where and how money can be made—on a recurring basis. That’s the “core loop” that makes players fight, collect rewards, build their deck, and loop back. This is what defines engagement and re-engagement.
The next step is to build a crude prototype that is deployed on the Android platform, under an assumed name. Again, player behavior is scrutinized and analyze😛
what triggers in-app purchase, how fast is the core loop, etc."
How interesting this is because most programmers actually build the program first and then wonder about how their going to make money from it. Or if their going to make money from it. In truth if I do something its mostly a "I wonder if I did this or that differently " approach.
But my spend in the game is going down drastically. I used to sell to swoosh who is apparently quitting. And my supplies demand from my MU is also less meaning I dont need really to sell packs anymore. Poor old Rusty D.
I actually one month bought everything on 1 card and came to a realization : Your paying to much for this game. So I am kinda happy its going down by so much now.
I might even buy some packs myself hint hint A lena hint hint.
So anyway for the sake of brevity. If your going to get any advantage in this games your going to pay for it.
Lets recall
And see whether this model holds
1. Gain 2000 energy pool - Blitzkrieg pack - core money making loop
2. Gain 20 energy regeneration - Power Pack - core money making loop
3. Fight in other divisions - Maverick Pack - core money making loop
4. Gain no experience - Infantry Pack - core money making loop
5. Greater energy regeneration/Energy Pool. Upgrade house factories - Buy Gold from market - core money making loop
WARFARE
Hunting Bh's - more energy means more medals and gold - blitzkrieg pack
- generating energy means more medals and gold -power pack
- lower division - gaining no experience from fighting - means more medals (because of weak opposition) and more gold - infantry pack
ECONOMY
More factories
- needs more energy - blitzkrieg pack
- needs faster energy regeneration - power pack
POLITICAL
Winning battles means placing higher co's - means sellings more packs which means spending more in the game.
Each cc one earn each bh and each cp medal has a price in rl money tied to it.
WHAT IF YOU DONT WANT TO SPEND ANY MONEY?
Well in the words of Holden Caulfield

How are COs political?
Each cc one earn each bh and each cp medal has a price in rl money tied to it.
??? CP Medal has RL money implications how exactly?
the cp has a duty or interest in winning battles and must use co's to this end. this would be more the modern game.
and its quite common for cp to sell packs and use this money in their term.
Remember Chance, this is coming from the bloke who in his Policy Paper actually said he will sell a pack and put the money into the government... so he is right, some people do use RL money for CP medals.
you told me yourself that you make more in 15 minutes than i make in a year. was that just a racism under assessment of my income or are you just a cheapskate that is not willing to spend rl money on his ecountry .?
Wow, so where did I say I earn more then in you in 15mins? Please do tell me.
And am I a cheapskate not wanting to spend my cc on eIreland.... all you have to do is look at the COs set against France in their AS. Which was all reported in the MoF article.
Now go back into your corner, or play that other game you advertise.
im confused because your siding with chance on the issue. he is claiming cp dont need to spend money in their term. did you or did you not spend money. your confusing the heck out of me.
I spent money for Ireland, I wasnt planning on doing it. I would of done it to protect Ireland even if I was not CP. The money was used as COs, which I have done outside of my term in the past and for other countries.
You used it as an election promise. That is the difference, Chance pointed out your flaw in saying CP = RL money being spent. Your the only one who used it as an election promise.
Other people spend game currency for their nation, you fight against your nation.
Still waiting for this evidence of me being racist in regards to wages....
i dont get your point you cant agree with someone on a position and do the exact opposite. you agree with chance . i think perhaps your not as strong in language skills which could explain it. but you're missing the point completely. i did not say as an election ploy. that is a strawman fallacy of yours. i did not say cp s promises rl money in their election campaigns. so basically your whole argument burns up because you're creating a strawman and then arguing the strawman.
your in fact agree'ing with what the article says that cp's often is forced by circumstances to spend their rl money on the game to overcome an obstacle.i am picking up more and more this side of yours. at the start you and dishmcds were the best of friends. and for no reason she turned on you. and i am pretty certain you used your friends in macedonia and Spain to keep us wiped in my term.
Still yet answer about my so called 'racist' comments and comments about wage. Or is the standard RTK dribble?
free to play but pay to win
Nice article proving that now flagship isn't eRepublik but mobile games.
thx yes it probably is.
