Hello everybody!
Just a little reminder. I'm running for congress in Virginia. I hope some of you come down to vote for me. I'll cover the moving ticket costs!
Anyway, this article is not about the elections. No, today, I'm here to talk about gold!
Gold, it's a vital part to our economy. It allows us to buy companies, run for a government position, start a newspaper, buy health kits, and protect the value of the US dollar.
But what happens when nobody can afford gold but the very rich? The rich would get richer, and the poor would get poorer. The entire elitist policy would be 3x more intense, as they would be the only ones able to buy gold to run for political positions. Things would be absolutely catastrophic. My friends, I regret to inform you we may be moving towards this reality.
Earlier today, I was poking around in the monetary market to buy some gold towards another company when I saw this...
72.592 USD is already a horrible price to pay, but 357.73?!?!
If the trade value were to actually reach this...
Running for office - $715.46
Starting a newspaper - $715.46
Using a health kit - $178.865
Starting a company - $7,154.6?!?!?!?!?!
My Angry Rants - At least those are still free!
What is going on with our country administration?! This can potentially completely demolish the economy. If we thought that little economy crash was bad 2 weeks ago, we are all in for a surprise. If you are not completely up to date on that crash, read up on this.

I call shenanigans!
I am really hoping this is some kind of joke, that it will change back in a matter of a few days. But if it is intended to stay at this price, things will get ugly.
*update* Let's not forget all of the newer players out there. Do you really think they are going to be able to keep up with this? If eRepublik were to be voted #1 browser game, there would be a big increase of traffic. But all of those newer players are going to be gone as quick as they came.
My friends, if I am voted into congress, I will address this issue almost automatically. I cannot stand by and watch this happen. Give me my chance to fix things!
Please read my congressional platform. http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/csabo07-for-congress-updated-running-in-virginia--1646961/1/20
Have a great day everybody!
"Lame Joke of the Day!"
2 cannibals are eating a clown.
One says to the other "Does this taste funny to you?"
Yeah, I know that was a terrible joke too!

My dear citizen,
To be honest with you, I was also surprised when I have seen those print screens. 😐\
What the hell is the world coming to?
Hey, look everybody! Plato has moved to Indonesia and changed his name!
If they (Admins or Elite) are worried about retention they can stop.
Noobs will have the choice to buy gold, be slaves or quit.
Which one do you think the noobs will choose? They have nothing invested in this game (time & effort) and no friends yet. This is NOT the only 'free' browser game around.
@ Thedillpickl
My thoughts exactly! We can say goodbye to any new players from now on.
That number is skewed by people buying USD & gold out of their companies. It's even more wrong now that what it usually is.
Voted~
Actually, those numbers are more realistic, after all, it does cost a sh*tload to start up a company, at least it would mean less incompetents starting companies. I prefer the old standard.
Votado
@Ace
Good point, and that would make bigger profits for the managers, but it probably would tick off a lot of newer/poor players
my theory: the new players attracted by erep winning an award will go a long way towards fixing the economy. let's say (in theory) 1000 noobs joined every day and took a lv1 job. this would drive wages down a lot, and also drive prices down (since low wages would help production)
after a few days, this army of noobs would be lowering wages from lv1-5 jobs, drastically lowering market prices. erep winning this award would be just the bump that this economy needs. untill then, i say boycott the monentary market.
