Hi All
This is my first article in my new paper, so welcome and thanks for reading.
Having been in eUK for a couple of months I've been thinking for a while I'd like my own voice but couldn't think what angle I'd come from as there are already so many good publications out there by people who have been around for a lot longer than I.
Well I came up with the New Ideas Time.
I'd like my paper to be a hybrid between articles I write and discussions using the comments below.
I'd like to be able to sound out ideas and potential strategies with new and old players alike where everyone's ideas are as valuable as the next persons no matter what they've done in the past.
As a new publication I'm not totally sure how things will work out but I'll try and bring a new idea or area of interest with each edition for others to then comment on and discuss.
If people post their ideas on the subject that could help eUK they can be debated by people and if new ideas come up and certain topics seem popular enough then I'll start a new edition for discussion on them.
With us yo-yoing between holding none and 6 or 7 regions recently we are in very turbulent times, combined with the recent baby boom I feel there is an opportunity to set some strong strategies to help eUK to flourish.
In order to find these best strategies and then action them we need people to buy into the plan and for them to do that they need to be consulted on the ideas and that is where I feel this publication can help.
I'd also like to help new players because being relatively new myself I know how tough those first few days can be but also they bring fresh ideas and are very valuable.
With that in mind anyone less than an a week old reading this if you comment below with any ideas or just giving your birthday I'll send you some health.
My first idea is around congress and how we vote in our congress members each month.
Many people simply blindly vote in a candidate they are told to vote for each month by their party. But who actually knows what those congressmen have done or them?
I strongly feel they need to be held more accountable and should be running because they want to improve our potentially great eUK nation and not be just in it for the gold.
With this in mind I feel people getting voted into congress each month should be paying a tax from their 5 gold they receive, 1.5 gold back to their party as a thank you for helping them get into office and 1 gold back to eUK as a thank you to the people for trusting them to be active and add value to the nation.
This extra income for the eUK would be good to boost funds to help provide tanks and food to the needy and would also be a good boost to parties for similar activity.
It would also actively encourage parties to provide strong candidates to try and win the gold and would also be an incentive to the whole or eUK to hold as many regions as possible to get as many members of congress as possible.
Thanks all for reading, all comments very gratefully received.

This is a very interesting article, other people are obviously also thinking that the congress needs a shake up and new ideas.

I just donated 5 gold to ESO for their next elections, is that good enough?
Gold doesn't buy many tanks, but it does let parties move voters around by paying for their costs... If a party tells you to vote for someone rather than the candidate themselves, there's probably a reason for it... Good article though and voted+subscribed
I was under the impression that all congress gold was just donated straight to the national treasury :3
Anyway, good article, addresses key problems in the eUk today, vote + sub
I just love your seal avatar Jordee : P
Good to have discussions ingame. Best is trying to connect it with our national forum and our IRC channels.
What congress is doing should be published and discussed ingame. Than we can connect the ones who vote with the ones that are elected.
Well said Niemand that is what I'm hoping to offer with my articles/discussions. The opportunity for in game debate so people don't have to join IRC or forums.
Thedark Ace, I'm surprised to hear that, I didn't think congress members were donating, which was why people were moaning they were naff gold hunters, but as I said I'm still new so I might very well be wrong.
RBSNA 5 gold is very selfless but with how the economy is at the moment I'm not sure "gold doesn't buy many tanks" is very accurate. Say we get 40 congressmen and they donate 2.5 gold each, that is 100 gold which at todays rate buys £200,000 which is 5k tanks which could definitely help.
P.S. Thanks very much for the votes and subs people.
This is a great idea Jordee.
Voted and subscribed 🙂
