Malaysia - Philippines war games and Q5 hospital

Day 645, 10:59 Published in South Africa South Africa by Ines Schumacher

Evening. I hope you have all recovered from the congressional elections. I know I haven't! I need a good night's sleep as much as I need a good glass of wine/beer/paint thinner.

This is an article to update the population on eSouth Africa participating in the Malaysia - Philippines war games and also what's happening with the Q5 hospital. As the title says. Sorry, my brain is a ball of mush today, nothing personal! 🙂

We've hit a slight snag in terms of buying the hospital. We've signed the contract and it's on the market and we've transferred the money, it's just a time delay.

I was busy proposing the buying of the hospital when I got the following message:
"Please enter a lower amount of money because the country accounts should have at least 25000 ZAR (500 * new citizen fee)."

Game mechanics can be pretty anti-Phuza at times, eh?

As you all know, our citizen fee is moerse high. But we can't change that unless we have more ZAR in our accounts (game mechanics!). And that proposal take 24 hours to pass.

So basically the whole process works like this:
Enoch Root proposed issuing 10,000 ZAR - still 13 hours left till that passes
ERDWURM then proposes changing the citizen fee - 24 hours as of 01:00 eRep tomorrow
I can then propose the buying of the hospital - takes another 24 hours to pass.

The short and long of it is that we can only get our beautiful shiny hospital in about 61 hours. At which time I will inflict myself an injury to use it because I've waited long enough! In fact we all have! I expect a wave of swine flu and broken toes on the weekend!

We have been accepted to join the Malaysia - Philippines war games. I just want to emphasise that these war games are sponsored by the neutral Sol alliance of which we are an observer nation. They are currently thinking of changing their charter (regional alliance) to allow eSouth Africa to join the alliance.

Any eSouth African is encouraged to visit the Sol forum and participate as an observer, ask questions and participate in discussions: http://solalliance.comxa.com/forum/index.php

Just a rehash of the terms of the war games: we pay a once-off cost of 60 gold for the MPP with Malaysia (we are the defenders) and then 6 gold per war game (3 per week)

Our military is recruiting again! Vote up this article and apply for service if you haven't yet: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/jumpstarting-the-military-911783/1/20

You will be supplied with weapons if you sign up so it's worth it! 😉

Just to clarify: CDA members will NOT be barred from serving eSouth Africa in military capacity if they apply.
