What a Productive Day Five!
Jacob Ferguson
Yesterday felt like I made significant progress. I was able to participate in another resistance war contribution, I upgraded a food factory to Q2 on recommendation of a reader, I made LOADS of new friends (thank you readers) and now I am on the 25 comments mission, so now I ask you even more fervently, leave your favorite tip in the comments below this article!
I am starting to get to a point where things are starting to feel less cramped. I am still working on a couple missions that require me to make X weapons or X food in my factories, but I'm getting much closer every day. I have a spreadsheet that tells me, based on my energy regeneration and my current energy and max energy what time I should come back to the game to have a full energy bar. This makes it easy to not just stare at the screen and recover energy every time I hit the breakpoint.
The generosity and friendliness of the current members of Erepublik is shocking me. I find in most communities online, the toxicity can be enormous, but I've been welcomed by most everyone I've run across. The fact I can get 100 friends on my friends list in 3 days goes to show that people are willing to interact and assist in any way they can. I don't intend to stop at 100 either. Always feel free to send a friend request if you enjoy this paper, I love to have contact with all sorts of people.
Anyway, I'm not sure what other tweaks I can make to my system, at least until a sale is upon us for training ground upgrades or factory upgrades. My TG is rank 3 (with all the others at rank 1) and I'm using just the free one for now, since I won't profit from the use of the others. This makes my strength growth slower, but I also don't want to do something too inefficient to my finances. I'm working my job 3 times, working my factories and farms, training, and fighting (contributing to RW and fighting where my MU tells me) every time my energy fills back up.
Finally, don't forget to vote in the congress elections. Vote for the party you like most or prefer. Because I'm so far down the list on TCP's candidates roster, a vote for TCP is unlikely to be a vote for me. Maybe next time!
Thanks again for your support. I am overwhelmed by the positive response to my archives and hope they help new players out in some way. As always, and again, leave any recommendations you have in the comments below. And this time, if you don't have any recommendations, just drop a salute! I only need 25 comments to complete today's mission.

Did you upgraded free training grounds? They are more important than factories.
I'm at rank 3 on the free TG yes, and the next rank costs 100G. Was thinking of waiting for a sale, but not sure how long til they come around.
Nice, you can wait, it's usually every 2 months.

Once a month there is a sale on training grounds. Save gold up for that then upgrade them.
good job 😉
Here's a comment for your mission. I see you changed MUs to US Army. Can't say I'd recommend that, but maybe it's a good fit for you?
You may want to encourage subscriptions to your newspaper as you can get a Media Mogul award (5g) for 1000 subscribers. It may be much more difficult now due to the active playerbase, but it certainly couldn't hurt to try.

I'm just exploring options. I noticed that a lot of times, the recommended order with EZC and CIA didn't align with RW orders and/or direct attack orders. Not sure if it's much better with the Army, but I was looking for a way to make it a little easier to know exactly where my energy was best spent.
US Army may be a better fit. I don't know much outside of EZC because I've been here for so long after running my own MU and being CO of the eUSA official MU a while back.
Army is not always updated (we are just in 2 here, forgive us), but it's a good training grounds for beginners. Jadiv still runs our commune, if you want work for weapons and/or food, ask him. He sure have a place.

Good stuff!
Nice job so far and love the positive attitude.
Good luck! Thanks for the daily advice, very helpful!
If you upgrade the first 2 training grounds all the way it is a positive gold situation.
Excellent Progress.
My tip, just have fun
Keep it up.

Enjoy your career over here

If you fully upgrade your training grounds *and* buy a training contract, you'll get 90 strength a day for free...

Dope.
You know, if you joined a smaller party not in the Top 5 you have the energy that would pull in new members. No one really cares about old players anymore except for their abilities on the battlefield, not that I'm complaining. What makes a difference in the social side of this game, however, is new player energy.
eRepublik used to have new player energy in spades. Thank you for brining a portion of that back.
