Title: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: Wst on September 01, 2008, 01:41:06 am

Tutorial:
http://www.erepublik.com/infobox-tutorial.html


History is something that already exists. You inherit it and you enrich it with your life experiences. But now you have a chance to create a different history in the Erepublik world.

Being part of it, you have the opportunity to develop your economy and to create a working society with political institutions. You may concentrate on serving your country or on finding a way to personally advance in this new world perhaps by having military activity, creating private companies or getting others to elect you as a political leader.

You will have to use your wits to make your country one of the best in Erepublik. You should invite your friends to join you and together to create a better society or maybe become strong soldiers and invade others..


I have a few invites so post your email if you're interested. Unfortunately Australia's already been invaded, so I'm in eIreland now. It's a pretty fun game if you get involved in the community and political side of things. Maybe people can form a VceNotes Party if enough people join (I'd vote for coblin as president  ;D).

I am kinda interested lol
So do I have to register through you (your invites) or can I just join in?
Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: Wst on September 01, 2008, 02:05:08 am
There's a waiting list if you join, as it's still in beta.  You can register and start playing immediately if I invite you.

I sent you an invite.

Post by: Wst on September 01, 2008, 02:11:57 am
No problem.

Oh yeah, when you register, the region you select is where you'll be situated online. I'm the mayor of Cork, Ireland, so I'd recommend you move there so I can send you some gifts.  ;D

Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: costargh on September 01, 2008, 06:42:29 pm
Ok few questions
Which country is eveyrone residing (lol) in?


Who has a job and if so what is your wage/salary?


Maybe in a few weeks we can all buy tickets to Australia and start the colony there. Thoughts? VN run Australia haha MMM :)


Does anyone have any hints/tips to play this game?
Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: bturville on September 01, 2008, 06:46:19 pm
i'm in halifax, canada.

i'm pretty sure australia has been invaded by indonesia, and after that a lot of aussies bailed to other countries. so we might need to start a war for that plan to work :)

I have talked to others and they said they got job nearly straight away, whereas I have put $2 on Resume and have waited 2 hours what do I do?

Post by: xox.happy1.xox on September 01, 2008, 09:15:45 pm
Aww... If I start engaging with this, which looks majorly interesting by the way, I won't have time to study for English or Maths. :(. I wish studying wasn't so important so I could indulge in different things :P
Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: bturville on September 01, 2008, 09:18:15 pm
they're marketing it with the fact that you only really need to spend '14 mins' a day on it. its not very time intensive....i hope.
Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: Wst on September 01, 2008, 09:20:15 pm
Yeah, all you basically need to do is work, train and keep your wellness up by buying food. It becomes a bit more time-intensive if you make the effort to engage with the community or start a company.
Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: Mao on September 01, 2008, 09:36:53 pm
i aspire to one day move to UK and start a political party called Ingsoc.

at that point in time, i may have to consider getting a new account and become Big Brother =D
Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: Wst on September 01, 2008, 09:46:12 pm
Lol, the UK is led by the People's Communist Party.

You're only allowed one personal account, unless it's a corporation or government account.

Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game

Buy food for wellness...wellness pack is not worth the dosh.

Post by: costargh on September 02, 2008, 06:28:07 pm
1) Who wants to start a gift squad with me?
http://www.erepublik.com/article-134992.html

2) By the end of September we must win back power of Australia
A history of Australia's takeover can be found here
http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Australia

I suggest we all:
-work up our skills
-work up our strength for possible conflict from Indonesia
-Look to get in contact with ex-pats in Belfast, UK to get them as allies
-Start planning, get numbers and know how we stand in terms of winning back power of our country!!!

EDIT:
AW :(I just realised that we can't all just move back to Australia because its owned by Indonesia.
Australia is not part of Indoneisa and as such, we would have to move to Indonesia and then choose our city as "Melbourne".
But I dont think we would actually have control of Melbourne. We would have to form our own political party in indonesia and then try become President and get a seat in congress and then we would have control over Australia :S Something like that

I'm no longer a canadian LOL.

Wages are so mediocre and the exchange rate is a piece of crap. lol Thus, I'm in the US, in Baton Rouge (lol, collin and the rest were there, so I'd thought to join them lol).

I have 3 invites left, anyone who asks for one and accepts it will get a free gift. :) [quality gifts, 3 stars + not rubbish ones lol. ]

V1 has come out. What do you guys think?

On another note, the US is proposing a minimum wage. It appears to be non-binding (2 USD), but I've written an article against it on a matter of principle.

V1 has a poor user-interface imo.

However it's generally ok
Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: Collin Li on October 18, 2008, 11:55:50 am
Who still plays this? I've got a bunch of you guys on my friends list that seem inactive, so I'll remove you guys.

If you guys have any money or gold from invites, and don't want it, send it to VN Enterprises. We're trying to accrue enough capital to start a business. :)
Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: cara.mel on October 18, 2008, 11:59:00 am
I sent my money + a holiday home to Coblin :)
Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: Collin Li on October 18, 2008, 12:01:38 pm
:)

I removed anyone from my list who has a "dead citizen." That was enwiabe, Jamison and jessie0 from what I remember. I don't remember whether dead citizens retain their assets, but if you guys have any money/gold sitting around, please use the donate tool to give the stuff to VN Enterprises.
Title: Re: Online World Simulation Game
Post by: Collin Li on October 18, 2008, 01:56:11 pm
Or even better, start playing again in the US and work for our company: http://www.erepublik.com/en/company/pink-diamonds-178659

It's an emerging market, the problem is that the labour market is ultra-competitive.
