[UM] An internal competition

Day 2,153, 13:49 • Published in USA USA • by The Mike


The Ultramarines were formed on Day 1192 (25 February 2011), just before the formation of the USAF. Soon after the formation of the USAF, we merged into it as its third branch. We have a wide breadth of experience, with many members opting to stay within the unit even when they could move on to the Special Forces; this means that there are always experienced people in the unit to assist the less experienced when they join up.



The requirements for membership are:

- Previous experience in a military unit is preferable.
- High IRC activity is required (all supplying is in IRC)
- Generally high activity and engagement in eRepublik is preferred
- Must join the in-game MU
- Full membership in the MU only attainable at Field Marshal rank
- Commitment to follow (set by the NSC) eUSA orders to fight for eUSA and its allies
- MU members expecting supplies are also expected to work in UM communes
- Passing our screening to ensure a ‘good fit’ with existing unit members[/u]

Our fighters are currently provided with 3 drops of 7 Q7 tanks (and food if needed to be able to fight) daily. All supplying is done in real time through the unit’s private IRC channel, so IRC activity is the only way to get supplied.




The purpose of this article, apart from shameless advertising about our MU, is to inform the MU members and others about an internal contest starting this Wednesday.

So, what exactly is going on here?

This is a non-military contest. It aims at rewarding all soldiers who are also following the governmental media. The task will be to comment with the UM slogan "COURAGE AND HONOUR" under each government article released, while the competition is ongoing. The term "government articles" is meant to be self-explanatory, so I won't be going to list them all. Part of the action will also be to discover the respective newspapers 😛

Points will be allocated regarding how soon a comment has been posted after the respective article has been publishe😛
up to 4 hours (incl.) after publishing: 3 points
up to 12 hours after publishing: 2 points
up to 24 hours after publishing: 1 point
up to 2 days after publishing: 0.5 points (half a point)

Commenting under DoD articles, will award you with double as many points! 😛

We will keep track of it and will publish the doc after the competition. The competition will run for articles published between eDays 2,157 (Wednesday) and 2,161 (Sunday) including. The results will be published on eDay 2,164 (Wednesday) and prizes given away by eDay 2,166 (Friday).

Can I participate ?

All current members of the Ultramarines in-game MU are expected to participate in this competition.

Are there prizes ?

Yes. A minimum of five soldiers will be rewarded according to their performance 🙂
