[DC] Just a few ideas
Nikola barun Jurisic
Alright lads,
There’s been several things which has been rumbling through my head. Some ideas which could help eIreland grow further, I’m actually very happy and satisfied with the current situation in terms of active population. While the world has been decreasing in number of people playing anywhere we’ve stayed on pretty much same level. Obviously our inner madness works well for addiction to this game. But...what can we do to make things happen while involving everyone who’d like to be involved? Do you have any ideas?
I’ve had few “rumbling” through my head. So let me share the idea with you, so we can work on it later if you find it well thought.
1) Dublin Communes
I’m not sure at which point this has stopped, but Dublin Communes were really a nice way to include many people in decision making process and also they could be used to inform people about all the information they need. We can make Dublin Communes as “direct democracy” voting tool or just as discussion platform based messages. I’d go for the later since we have congress now so there’s no need for another complicated meta-game thingy, but Dublin Communes are great for improving the community communication and production of ideas.
2) Who are the Fighting Irish?
Knowing our own strengths and weaknesses is something we should use in here. If we could make a full list of all our active citizens, sort all of us within divisions, check where we’re stronger and where we could use help we will know better how to make important decisions. That’s from the military point of view. We could make a database of all our active soldiers who would get messaged with battle priorities any time there’s an important battle.
On the other hand, from economy aspect we could use the list to see who has which companies, which taxes are too high, what can we do to make production profitable to everyone who has their companies in Ireland. We don’t even know who has them here, we don’t know what our citizens are producing and how can we help them. We need to make the whole analyze of our production capabilities. Is producing in Ireland profitable? Can it get more profitable for everyone? What taxes would suit our country the best? We have no idea!
We need to make economy tests and make it easier for individual producers to make profit. Don’t forget that those individuals are the people who will be there first when it comes to defending our country. Let’s make life easier for them too. Taxes can hardly save a country when it comes to war. We’re not as big as Serbia who can get 300k per day through taxes. Our amounts can’t help us. While Serbia can get up to 300k Ireland will have to settle for 6-7k per day. When it comes to war Serbia will need to use much less money for CO’s than Ireland regardless of taxes income. However, if we can make a country of strong and rich individuals then those individuals will take defending of our country much more seriously since it will be a community which allowed them to establish themselves as producers.
3) Discord strikes
I don’t know about you, but the best time I had in Erepublik were when things were really active on IRC/Discord. I know many people hates using non-game apps when it comes to communication, but the feeling you get when you hit with your mates for your ally doesn’t have the price. That’s the whole point of this game. Helping friends, having fun with your mates and thinking about ways to defeat your enemy.
We’re not a big country. 20 of us would make a difference. I promise you that 20 active Irish citizens on Discord when we organise a strike would make such a deep mark in our allies’s minds. Imagine that for example our allies in Italy needs help. They’re running out of health, weapons and firepower, the battle is really close. Irish strike has organised for the last 10 minutes of battle, 20 of us comes in and turn the walls….for me there’s no better feeling than this. I believe we’re not all the same when it comes to what we enjoy, but I still haven’t met someone who didn’t enjoy this.
Let me know what you think about these, I’m looking forward to your feedback. Knowing myself I’ll start all of this anyway (lol), but I’m sure that discussion can always improve things. Also, feel free to comment, I’m doing those annoying 25 comments missions so...
Always yours,
Don Croata

here is your comment, told you about my opinions already 😛
while Discord is nice, there are too few people still playing this game at that high of an activity level.

Dublin Communes, we don't need them, things are working fine without them, so why fix what isn't broke, previously experience with it suggested those that got in were not as "independent" as was made out and several people were refused access, so not in favour of returning to those times again.
Yeah, I realized that almost all of the active people are in the congress now anyway.

1 Nogin answered you on the Commune maralky
2 We already have an active fighter mass message
Also I have no intention of tell anyone who I work for or how many companies I have...can't answer for anyone else
3 The LPA is an independent MU and while I have no objection to mass discord hits it will depend on the target
weird this is the first time i hear of an active fighter mass message. you do realize i still have the strongest fighter in ireland in my camp?
Active fighters that fight FOR Ireland not the active traitor who fights AGAINST Ireland
the lpa does not qualify as an mu in my opinion. more like a political bird shooting club.
And in the reply everyone can see the truth in what I said above. When he could not counter the points made he tries to deflect.
No RtK you are a traitor like your buddy Moo
deflect? naw it is the truth that you cant be counted as a mu that actually does something for ireland. so its not as much as your fighting for ireland its more like you cheer on the actual fighters. your more the cheerleaders of the real irish forces. so i will go soft on you and say your outburst above me is because its "that time of the month again"for you. i would recommend products but not certain whether its manafactured in erepublik.
I agree with some points.... like:
4. You will be buying the first round of drinks if I ever meet you in RL.
5. You will be buying the second round of drinks if I ever meet you in RL.
But as pointed out above, Congress threads work alright, even with someone always crying in them (however he didnt get voted in for a while which was good). Mass fighter thread worked well when we had the war with France and also with the UK. Companies... I did a survey before, but it didnt go into too much detail. I also tried to push for people to place a company locally, but not many took up that offer.
but the third round of drinks is key 😛
Yeah, but after the second one it doesn' matter who buys them, usually it always seems they are coming by themselves.
currently
the econ module is dull and meaningless,
the military module is expensive and meaningless,
and alliance politics are soulless.
plato is focusing on national politics in this era. let the politikos have this one. kick back and relax until plato does something interesting!
Glad to see ya mate 😃
