[Nobel] Hello again.
Turnbeutel
Hello everyone,
In the past few weeks, you've noticed very well what it means when there are no active players in the game.
Nothing happens. No chat, no bitch fight, nothing.
After a brief examination, it was also noticed that parts of the government have also become less active, although they were very active before.
What do we do with this knowledge?
We need a strong opposition. We need, the entire eNation needs it, this concentrated emotional charge that we spread to each other.
It fueled our activity. It tempted us to go online and post stuff. It made us actually enjoy the game.
I've had some thoughts and I have to admit that peaceful coexistence is really boring.
If I understand the game mechanics correctly, it basically works like this:
1. Go farming at TW
2. Gold is collected
3. Place of manufacture is where you collect the 100% bonus
4. Once a month there is a short serious war
Then we start again at 1.
Nobody interested. I've heard rumors that some have practically stashed several thousand chocolate bars. What's the point?
Now honestly? What‘s the plan? If I want to look at a screen in which some numbers are sometimes more, sometimes less, I can also look at my portfolio at my online broker. It's funny, but this "money" and "gold" in this game is neither real nor valuable. Actually it's nothing. I might as well just give away 1,000 cc to anyone who comments here. Who cares?
We had a thing. This thing called the government to get rid of. When I softened this thing, we lost people. why? The government is boring and drab.
Sorry Jeppe & Co you are good administrators but no players. You're kinda okay with that. But somehow ok is also damn boring.
Seriously, we once sent Hungary home, did anyone address that? I got zero from the last Air Strike. To be honest, it all seemed more like a training war to me. Somehow gold is collected again and that's fine too. Who cares?
What mission are we actually pursuing?
So it's time we gave ourselves a mission!
Our party has decided to propose Kevin for President.
Why?
Because we need a mission and above all a passion.
Our course is to finally build a damn good Sweden.
But a better Sweden requires sacrifice. The willingness to make sacrifices, e.g. to burn several million cc for a win. Why not?
I wouldn't have a problem banging my "erepublik" fortune away, after all I don't associate anything with it. However, I believe that the players here are largely uninterested.
Why actually? Let's be honest with ourselves. What's supposed to happen?
Our first steps for a real better Sverige will be following measures:
1. Formation of a task force for our military
After that it is important to record how "mobile" our troop is and how powerful our troop can be.
Also how "active" the non-mobile unit is and what clout we can draw from it.
2. Creation of strategic principle programs to attack
We are in a war game. So get rid of the title "Minstry of Defense" and start with the "Ministry of War". We need basic plans, what do we do in the event of an attack, how do we attack (requires 1. by the way). We need to plan a budget and how it can then be used.
3. Win Air Strikes
Hell yeah, let's sit down and coordinate an awesome air strike because we want to win stuff.
4. Set up press department
We want an active cooperation, which means that we also want to read a lot of articles that are emotionally charged. Articles that make you want more. Of course, this should make our opponents feel trodden on their toes, why not?
We are better than the others, so we have to tell them that it is!
5. Establishment of a Ministry of Finance
We don't have any. So we need one. A finance minister keeps an eye on income and can make specific statements about expenditure. He conscientiously manages the assets. In accordance with the six eyes principle (three bodies: President, Prime Minister and Finance Minister), no money will be lost.
6. What's about transparency?
I had now spoken to several erepublic greats from all over the world. Virtually everyone has confirmed to me that "long-term" governments have litereally stole money at the till at will. Honestly, anyone who says that was never the case here is fooling themselves.
Noone will really realize that, right? Somehow no one really cares. What do we do with this knowledge?
Honestly, if you've steal money for yourself give it back or sacrifice yourself.
Anyone who took the money by himself should simply say "ok, I'm going to be the craziest eSweden fighter ever" and then join in with the points mentioned above. Be awesome and no damned monitor zombie.
Let‘s go one god damn step forward!
We call on the government to do:
1. Keeping government statements in articles and not posting anything in the feed and then thinking that was it. What's that supposed to mean? That‘s crap. Stop being boring.
2. Set up a channel in which we are all Congressmans can discuss. Why not? What's the problem with that? get criticism? Honestly, no one will always agree 100% with you.
3. Just be honest with yourself:
The whole clique of ministers is in fact inactive. What are they doing there anyway? I have the impression that only Jeppe actually does anything at all and that someone helps from time to time. What's that curd? Out with the wannabe champions. If the government consists of only two or three people, then so be it. That would be an honest concession to all of us.
Why do we actually have something crappy like a "Governor" and a "Prime Minister" and a "President". Is this a joke ? I see that two out of three places can be cut. They don't do anything anyway. Out with them! Send them a Thank you for your service letter and kick them out!
If you want to be Prime Minister, you have to do something. Otherwise no use.
If a governor wants to be a governor, he first must tell the world what the job is for. I don't have a clue what a governor does next to the prime minister and the president. I consider the Prime Minister to be de facto superfluous. What should the governor do now? Is this a "fan" boy job? Like every article and leave a comment? If so, the current one is also doing this fan boy job really badly.
If someone wants to be a minister, they have to do something. Otherwise no use.
Why don't we actually have a finance minister?
So we have a prime minister and a governor but no finance minister? What‘s that? And no, I dont want someone come up with „the Governor is the finance minister“. No. Give jobs title what there‘re for.
Anyone who thinks adjectives are great can make them up themselves and not fill any job with a gaping emptiness.
Long story short,

Good luck, this government are only a bunch of slaves of Romania.
They got no spine nor care about Sweden.
If these people rules IRL we´d be as poor as Africa now.
Will never stand by their side, parasites should be killed not friends...
it was said to stop bullying and stealing instead start having fun together but the strongest player in the game and PTOer zingo failureorange superthief and jeps ruined any future of fun I hope turnabutel can turn the tide even if its too late
now I realize that Max has stucked in the history and then I realised why he acting like he does.
You are forgiven Max.
Don't blame the government for the dwindling numbers of members in the Nobel party
A well written article. We should celebrate our wins more. 150 - 0 vs Hungary was historic. Of course Hungary put zero prio on winning but the whole campaign togheter with several other fellow Asteria members was a great success. That is the big picture that is missing, the motivation factor that make us help other countries and be part of something bigger than what Farmville can already offer.
We should also describe the roles of teh Ministers better.
You mean as Asteria keeps losing to CODE?
Look at Serbia xD
yeah it's true playing farmville is also boring!
Nobel shows the way, once again, in this boring shithole of a bacon-free environment. I say we put jincar on the bonfire, collect his melting grease and make pig-fat fueled torches that we then use to free Denmark. Let's go!
Hear Hear Turn!
Trojkan har förstört landet och de bör tillsammans med deras sympatisörer ställas inför rätta.
Misho leker "mr funny" i ett desperat försök att rättfärdiga sin existens i spelet. Han är som en svulst som sakta suger ur allt vad det här spelet en gång var.
SOG är eSveriges wagnergrupp som påstår sig slåss för eSverige och dess bästa i alla lägen. Men de är 100% lojala till en regering som skor sig på skattepengarna, men såklart, det gynnar ju deras egna plånböcker. Viktigare att bygga stora djupa skattkistor och samla på sig bars, "någon gång kanske det riktiga kriget kommer, då ska jag vara redo". Problemet är att det snart gått minst 7 år sedan det var ett riktigt och viktigt krig som faktiskt betydde något för spelarbasen.
Zingo, SuperG, Fairlyorange och självaste JeppeS. Det är som att ringa länsstyrelsen och fråga efter bygglov nära vattnet. Man får ett nej till besked och man får heller inte något förklaring varför. Deras jobb är helt enkelt att säga ja eller nej. Förklaringen får man söka på annat håll och leta rätt på själv. Trojkan är ett resultat av spelets förändringar. För en sak är säker, de här fyra personerna hade inte varit i närheten av att inneha en förtroendeposition under spelet glansdagar. De är helt enkelt för dåliga och för trista.
Då står hoppet kvar till Nobelkommittén, en opposition som skakade om landet och fick det att hosta igång. Ett kort tag.
Trojkan gjorde vad de kunde, den svenska wagnergruppen gjorde vad de kunde och Misho med hjälp av admins gjorde sitt. Vissa av oss blev tystade, vissa av oss blev bannade och vissa av oss la helt enkelt av. De få av oss som är kvar, vad gör vi här?
Helt ärligt vet jag inte det just nu. Men så länge det finns en Nobelpartist kvar i det här spelet så kan jag lova er att det finns hopp om en bättre morgondag.
Länge leve Nobelkommittén!

It's hard, I think this we're saving more and more for the next coming "big" war is somehow a patt situation, because literally everyone has now huge savings, someone told me from the eUS he had saved like several millions of cc and thousands of gold and another huge sum of chocolate bars, basically for something which will never happen. Because everyone has his belief "at one day I'll need it" it's like when this one day will come ? Look at the country feeds of many countries, there're no emotions here anymore. Noone really cares, it's like mentioned above, we're all playing some sort of farmville
fantastic article, i fully support turnbeutels plans for a more active, transparent and friendly e-sweden!!!
