[BigAnt] UK Prepare for War!
Hello UK,
So I am sure most of you have already noticed that Argentina have been quickly marching up through Spain and now France to border our lands. We are almost certain they are here to Attack us, but before the fighting begins and we hope to repel this aggressor.. We must improve our communication and get our fighters active!
Currently our system of communication works like this.
CP - vCP - MoD (Receive/Create Orders)
--->
Orders are filter to MU commanders mass mail / MoD Article / IRC
--->
Mass mail received
--->
Orders updated
Now there are some problems with this system. Firstly it can be slow, a player can be online but not looking at eRepublik (busy playing a game). Orders can change constantly and you begin spamming the mass mails. Also if your MU commander is not online at all, you could have 100 fighters hitting in the wrong battle.
All these elements combined result in wasted damage! As a small compact but tough nation will need to be direct, quick and precise.
IRC (Bit like msn messenger)
The IRC is our most common form of communication, it is a internet relay chat.. bit like the msn messenger. It looks like this..
>>> eUK #MoD War Room
At the moment we average 30/40 people in our war room. Last year it was 100+. IRC is vital for a successful army. We can "ping" you, so you get an alert that something has changed. That way you are not relying on your MU commander 24/7.
You are the British Fighter, taking responsibly for protecting our lands.
Our CP, MoDs will always be based in the IRC war room. Its the first line of communication/defence. If we lose a wall during a battle.. "ping" the fighters waiting in there are alerted and can deliver precise damage in the Divisions and battles required.
So I ask you Fighters, to reside more often in our UK war room. We need precise and direct damage if we are going to repel this attack. Be the best.
Be more active, be a better fighter for UK

Though I'm not entirely sure about whether the argies will NE us.. aren't they a little busy with Spain?
Strong tutorial and a great tool for newer players.
Good job.
Good message too be fair. We try and get the message out as much as possible in the MoD but if everyone checks in for orders on IRC then it is far easier to get everyone on the same page. Just something to add to this. 2iCs and Captains also get the orders in mass messages (if they have accepted their friend request at the start of the term)
MoD Orders Articles can be found here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/2407179/1/20
Vote em up \o/ and get on IRC

I hate having to vote your articles, bloody git
buy another account , an older one, to feel better
I've never paid a penny for a single account, you should probably check your facts
I never said you paid for the first one, check your english comprenhension.
If you're going to give an English lesson, at least spell all your words correctly.
the sentence is perfect...
Oh Lord, comprehension lessons from Alpha, priceless. Nobody can understand what you're saying. I'd forgive you for being a forig but unfortunately it's just because you're an idiot

I remember msn too!
I kill!
Yay, Argentina, I love the Argentinians.
/me puts advertising hat on.
If you want to learn more on how to use IRC, you can see a detailed guide (hence excruciatingly long) on the IRC here http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/2356831/1/20 written by yours truly. (Ignore the unimportant forums bit at the bottom).
/me puts casual hat on.
A direct link works better for beginners but yeah, nice article.
Agreed, but direct links are usually only good to join a single channel.
We need more allies... I recommend we use the Serbian method. Pick a small enemy nation, find a party of failed politicians, pretend to work with them to gain power, before PTO'ing them and making them our ally.
Cheers my friend o/

Oh, my God, the arrows are coming, THE ARROWS ARE COMING, RUUUUUUN! 😃
Seriously, vote.

Great article!

"IRC (Bit like msn messenger)" pfffff msn sounds really of the past, what times....='(
Good luck uk! Spain will be with u
Why not use the in-game chatrooms?
Valid point I will add later mate 🙂
hard for the MoD to get messages in there unless they are part of the MU themselves
You think Arg will attack you?
voted, nice article BA

Good article.
MU commanders can set the daily order so that fighting any battles against Argentina is given priority...
Vote great article
it's imposibble to win against argentina even if we are organized to fight against them.
we need more serbs to protect ourselves!!
awesome article, voted

Nice article, will make more effort to be on irc!
I heard they're coming for the serbs, maybe we should suspend all suspected serbs and serb sympathisers by long ropes over the cliffs of dover?
It's starting to look like a pro French/anti Chilean operation that's gone tits up to me ...
