Edited to create a synopsis for the thread:
Since no one has posted about this game so far I've made this thread to inform people of it. Erepublik is a nation building game where people can support a nation of their choice by building their own nation's economy through creation of companies, running for presidency, joining a political group and defending it as soldiers.

My goal in this game is to become president of Ukraine and claim it for this forum by calling the political party Giant in the Playground and advertising it. I want to make Ukraine completely run by this forum.

http://www.erepublik.com/

In order to help this you can ask one of the posters in this thread for an invite and add me ingame as a friend. After being accepted you can invite others to get gold which is needed to make companies and political parties. If we pool our resources together we can make everything we want. To be invited you need to either post your email here or pm it to a poster in this thread. Right now I'm out of them. I've invited 5 people so far though and they have accepted:
Shovah
puppyavenger
Vavaara
Narkis
SolkaTruesilver
Each of them should start with 5 invites of their own so I'd ask them for one but try to avoid spamming them with pms.

If you just want to try out this game and join a different country go ahead. This is just my personal goal.

You act as a citizen of a country of your choice and can choose to create your own political party, run for election, start your own business, etc. The players build their own nation's economy. There is also a system for war between nations.

4chan has taken over Pakistan. XD

Don't you just have to ask for a invite?

nothingclever
2008-04-20, 04:42 PM
You can get invites from anyone already playing but if you choose to just register at the site normally you are placed in a waiting list. Luckily the amount of invites you can give refreshes over time and each new player you invite starts with 5 of their own so you can invite an infinite amount of people in a chain.

I think it'd be pretty cool if we could claim a nation for GitP.
Australia appears to be completely empty at the moment for instance while others only have 50 or so players meaning we could outvote everyone else with enough people.

To give out invites I need an email address to send them too.

You can get gold by inviting other people, trading regular game currency for gold or by buying it with real money. If we all invite people we can get more than enough to run a country.

In the beginning I'd just put out a job application and enlist as a soldier to raise your stats. Besides that you just need to buy food to keep your wellness up Each day you consume one food item automatically of the highest quality. Depending on the quality or star rating you gain an equal amount of wellness. From what I understand it is really only needed in wars or work productivity so it isn't really important in the beginning unless we make our own company which you would want to do the best work possible in.

Taking a country
After we pick a country we need someone with 40 gold to make a political party. Since the most you can get is 25 with your first 5 invites someone would need to transfer 15 more.

I think everyone should buy 1 move ticket so we can all move to wherever we decide on later.

Please list your ingame name here so we can all add each other as friends.

I think we should try to take Ukraine. The countries with 0 population don't seem to be open. Ukraine has 40some people so we can build a political party there and vote whoever is in out pretty easily. It isn't at war with anyone either.

I just moved to Kiev in Ukraine. I suggest everyone else go there.

I'll make a political party as soon as I get 40 gold so if anyone invites other people and gets some please transfer it to me.

If we can recruit enough people from here we can each get gold and pool our resources together to make companies later on. Currently Ukraine already has some so we don't need to make any right away to survive.

We can also take over the Ukraine treasury which has a lot of money at the moment or after becoming president I could raise taxes or print money.

Hum... Basically, printing money won't do it. You will simply lower it's value.. Everything will simply cost more, except if you start exporting a lot.

You need to import gold. To achieve that, I suggest creating a specialized industry in your dedicated country, and sell service to a friendly neighboor, who could, in exchange, specialize in it's own industry. Both will have lower costs for both specialized industry, if you have the right free trade treaties. Off course, it can become quite dangerous in cases of war, because that kind of agreement creates some kind of dependance, and both countries can have their fate sealed together.

We need one person to go to India and invite people and have them also go there. I just read that as long as new people come into a country with less than 20 people they as well as the people who invite them get a lot of gold.

I read this:
"1. To get most wealth for your character, choose the empty country (not more than 20 citizens), because from the empty country you will get 50 gold + 25 gold from invitation + 100 local currency."

Wish I knew this sooner. :/
Once you get the bonus just move to Ukraine since India is being completely conquered at the moment.

If someone can invite these three people and pass me the 15 gold from it I'll have enough to make the Giant in the Playground party.

After that we just need to save up more to create a food company and then a hospital much later on. When I state this plan and can show people quick progress we'll be able to get the party elected without needing to outvote the others ourselves since the other parties have very little organization and resources.

I've edited my first post to show everyone who they should contact for invites here. If you invite someone someone or someone invites you please post who it was here so people don't waste invites by sending more than one to each person. I've already listed who I invited in my first post.

Vavaara, you've just given me a great idea (which will almost certainly have some huge flaw I haven't notice). Why don't we send small groups of playgrounders out to the least populated countries?
They could take power - possibly with support from the main group in Ukraine - and then we would grow stronger as more people joined those various countries aswell as when people joined Ukraine itself.
We could spread our people-catching net. Holding power in more countries means more growth as people join them.

We shall rule this land.

nothingclever
2008-04-22, 05:23 PM
edit: Anybody interested in a gift squad (http://www.erepublik.com/article-134992.html)?
Just to clarify, can a person receive more than 1 gift a day? Also I think besides eventually getting our party made, building a hospital company and upgrading it to level 5 would get a lot of people to vote for us since Ukraine doesn't have one either and it would give everyone an extra 5 wellness each day as long as they ate.
Quality 1 food and a plus 5 hospital would give everyone 6 wellness a day and at the cost of only 1 wellness to work at a quality 1 food company.

To make the party we need 40 gold and to build and level a hospital to quality 5 we need 120gold(40 to create and 20 gold needed per upgrade level).

Does anyone know where I can find a good 100by100 OotS style avatar that I can use ingame?

I would prefer everyone to go to Kiev since I'm there and when we build something there everyone will be able to benefit from it.
All of India is now part of Pakistan so you might as well choose Ukraine to start in since the special bonus for joining a country with less than 20 population available is gone there.

We need people to donate gold so we can make the party. You can do that by scrolling down on a player's profile and finding a donate button, in case anyone didn't know.

There really isn't any reason to choose a different country if you want to help because in order to transfer gold you need to be in the same country as the person you are sending it to. People in Ukraine are also unable to use money that is not Ukrainian.

Also to vote for our party when it is created you'd have to be in the same country as well.

Andrew Veazy donated 6 gold so now I only need 9 more to create our party.

If you guys would like I could make a food company first instead so everyone can be employed by me and payed since I've been waiting in Ukraine for a few days now for a job offer.

There are several food companies already but if we work together to gather gold we can upgrade our own every 5 days since it only takes 10 to upgrade a company 1 level and 5 days to increase skill by 1 level.

Driderman
2008-04-24, 07:18 PM
Well, starting with a business and using that business to make money to create a political party doesn't seem like a bad idea. Money = power and we need to create a powerbase.
Looks like the major parties in Ukraine are just pulling stuff out their asses right now anyway, so if we make a concerted effort it shouldn't be too hard to take over.
That being said, there are 5 food companies in Ukraine, although only one has any stock to sell. I wish I knew how those businesses work, after all, Ukranian Salo is selling food at 1.11 UAH, can we sell food cheaper than that and still afford to pay employees?

nothingclever
2008-04-24, 07:43 PM
I'm not really sure to be honest either. I need to make a company to find out unless I ask someone to explain it but I think just making it would be a whole lot faster.

Anyway even if I only pay you guys 1 dollar as long as I set the food price to 1.00 as well you will be able to buy the food and we can undercut the competition. People will definitely buy from us when we raise our quality to 2 or more since all I ever see is quality 1 food.

As soon as we have 2+ quality we will become the number 1 food supplier.

The Giant in the Playground food company has been made.
I set the salary at 1.10 per person since that will be the price I sell food at.
If I can raise your salary further and let you make a profit I will.

When you work here tell me if your production is only 1 food per day. I can't remember what mine was since I haven't been able to get a job after moving to Ukraine. If it's 2 or more than I'll obviously double your salary.

I don't have any money right now so I need someone to donate Ukrainian money to me so I can start paying everyone. It will just be redistributed to the players on these forums and back in to the company over and over again so the system will work.

Any money I get will be invested straight into the company.

Edit: The first piece of food produced by Giant in the Playground was put on the market and made by Sartain!

I'm going to sell food at 0.99 so the 0.01 tax will equal exactly 1 and I'll pay everyone 1. When we can make a profit I'll raise prices/salary.

Driderman
2008-04-25, 03:05 PM
Yay, I'm contributing!

As I understand it, we need to spend money to make money, at least here in the beginning.
Donations for the company is needed, as that money will pay our wages and let us increase our skill. Once our skills increase, we will produce more food per worker and thus be able to actually make a profit. So, donate and work drones, time to up those food-creating skills!

As as sidenote, the Uzhhorod Irregular is now ranked as the 3rd most subscribed newspaper in all of Ukraine. It also seems to be the most prolific. Of course, I'm not too choosy about my articles :smallbiggrin:

Edit your posts man, don't just keep on making new ones...

As for running for major, as far as I understand we need to have a political party up and running first. Our food company seems to be working fine, as long as people remember to skill so we can become more efficient. Before too long, Somethingclever should be able to take money out of the company profits and buy gold for it. The next general election is in 6 days however, so if we want to be a factor in national politics by then, people will have to donate gold to somethingclever (Assuming he's the one going to found the party)

I think we should try to upgrade to level 2 quality as soon as possible since the Best Ukraine Silo has a stock of over 1000+ level 1 food but that's all they have. It will still take us 4 days to get to level 2 labor skill.

Eita
2008-04-25, 08:22 PM
Agreed. Also, you have to change my salary if you want to break even. Now then, how do I eat my food? My wellness is down to 30.

Nibleswick
2008-04-26, 04:47 AM
You automatically eat one food from your invintory a day, but it's low quality so it only restores one wellness. You're probably using more than one wellness per day.

Shovah
2008-04-26, 08:38 AM
Just wondering here; what sort of salaries are you guys on?
Oh, and converting it to GBP, or even USD would be helpful, but I can do it myself if needed.

nothingclever
2008-04-26, 09:28 AM
I gave everyone 1.2 now. I could raise it 1.8 but it won't solve the dropping wellness problem.

To train and work takes 2 wellness so we need better food which no one else is going to make or we need housing and hospitals but no one will make those either unless we do.

The best thing we can do besides upgrading our company when we can is to advertise a bit on this forum by putting a link in your signature to this thread or just pming some friends since the more people we get the more gold we will have available.

I think we could win the presidency with 50-60 more gold. If we upgrade our food to quality 2 or 3 and just make our party and say we did that since we'd be the first to make that much progress.

I currently have 7 people on my friends list in Ukraine and I'm sure there's more people who can vote for us I haven't added yet.
Last election the leading part only won by 10 votes. We have 7 minimum, 8 if I can vote for myself.

Driderman
2008-04-26, 09:40 AM
We have 5 days until general election. Are we aiming at having a political party by then?
You may have noticed I've started doing a series of articles concerning the political parties of Ukraine in my newspaper... I certainly wouldn't mind ending that series with a plug for our own party, after having described the others not so flatteringly :smallwink:

As for wellness, as long as we only spend 2/day we should have plenty of days to work out a solution. Better food being the most obvious one, but housing also a possibility. If you feel your wellness is dangerously low, don't do military training, or stay home from work if you're close to death.

I'm thinking that as our food-skills rise, less workers may be needed, those surplus workers could then create a housing company with some of the earnings from the food industry.
How's that sound?

nothingclever
2008-04-26, 09:57 AM
I would like to have our party made in time but if it isn't that's all right.

I think it makes perfect sense to add another industry eventually but it will be hard to do if we don't get a lot of cooperation. Hospitals and houses will make a big difference.

One member of our group sent me a pm recently asking if they would get their gold back after donating. This is probably a question for everyone who currently has it.

The answer is yes because if I become president and we all vote I can access the government funds and distribute them to people. I can't say exactly how the process works but I know it's been done before so you can expect whatever you donate back with interest if I win the election.

Btw, I raised all salaries to 1.8 and they'll stay there until we upgrade the company. I don't need the regular money so I'm running it at almost zero profit.

2008-04-26, 10:50 AM
I'm not entirely sure what we can use the company funds for. My idea was to use the profits to buy gold, and I'm told you can use them to invest, whatever that does...
As for the hospital, as I understand you have to be mayor to create a hospital in region. I'm considering running for mayor in Uzhhorod when the local elections come around, but haven't decided yet.
If hospitals need mayoral approval, it's going to take a while since there are 25 days to local elections... At least where I'm located, I suppose it's the same date all over though I don't know.

Starting a housing business would be a lot quicker, especially since we probably have the gold between us already if only people would donate.
I wouldn't mind starting up the housing company, although that would mean I'd have to quit my job at the food factory.

It looks to me like party elections are elections to choose who will be the party president. The only reason to have one would be if I wasn't doing a proper job leading but I'm pretty sure I have so far so hopefully Mikal Nakoras and Peter Ulsnes will resign from the party elections candidate status so we don't actually have to vote for no reason.

Also, all gold I get from invites I'm sending to Somethingclever to allow him to further our goals.

Additionally, I have an idea for the party. We could promise to buy high quality weapons for a select few in our army, to increase the security of our state, Ukraine. Whether to keep this promise...

Driderman
2008-04-27, 03:16 PM
Status update:

We have 15 party members, 15 employees at the food company and my newpaper has 15 subscribers ;)

With our growing numbers, I'd like people with gold to donate it to me so I can get the housing company running. We have enough people for both businesses now.
I'm 25 gold short and I'll also need large amounts of UAH as a house takes 200 productivity to create as opposed to the 1 productivity required for food. Which in short means I need cash to pay workers and keep myself fed while they work their skill up so houses can actually be produced and sold for profit.

Edit: Razvan Voico, Coffee Monkey, KitchenRoll, Hobnobz and Xan Banev are all real-life friends of mine and I'm thinking they're going to be my initial workforce as I keep in touch with them on a regular basis. Others are of course welcome too, but I'd like to skill them a bit before employing more people.
Situation is liable to change though

2008-05-03, 12:36 AM
The only taxes I see at my presidential area are on goods and they are all set at 1%. I also have the new citizen ship fee/amount citizens are paid set at $11 when they join in Ukraine. I haven't touched anything.

I've looked but I see no options to charge people to come here so I don't see how I'm charging them. I think you may be mistaking the new citizen fee as a fee for players when it is actually a fee for the government to pay new citizens. I could be wrong though.

By the way I am thinking of reducing income tax and added value tax to 0 so food really costs only $1 to buy and everyone makes exactly $1.

nothingclever
2008-05-03, 02:39 PM
Well unless there are offers to trade gold in exchange for our currency we can't. Plus all money is pretty much coming from my business anyway since the others are inactive.

There isn't an option to buy gold using government funds either on my presidential section. If I could I already would have.
The only options regarding gold are to buy it if someone else is willing to trade it for our currency which no is doing or to use it to start a war.

I can only issue or burn regular money, not gold. It apparently has to come from people specifically.

Pretty much the only way I could get gold for us is to ask other countries for donations until new people join our country with gold.

You already are registered to run against me for party president and have been since I started the party even though I asked people not to so you might as well be trying a coup anyway not like it matters since the president doesn't have any power unless there are people in his country. Threatening to do something you are already doing isn't very meaningful.

Also my company never had 160 excess currency, it had at max about 60 mostly because of donations.
Currently it has 25.02 since no one is buying our excess food.

The one thing I might be able to do is get someone I know to invite his friends and so on but that's kinda what we were all supposed to do.

Well unless there are offers to trade gold in exchange for our currency we can't. Plus all money is pretty much coming from my business anyway since the others are inactive.

There isn't an option to buy gold using government funds either on my presidential section. If I could I already would have.
The only options regarding gold are to buy it if someone else is willing to trade it for our currency which no is doing or to use it to start a war.

I can only issue or burn regular money, not gold. It apparently has to come from people specifically.

Pretty much the only way I could get gold for us is to ask other countries for donations until new people join our country with gold.

You already are registered to run against me for party president and have been since I started the party even though I asked people not to so you might as well be trying a coup anyway not like it matters since the president doesn't have any power unless there are people in his country. Threatening to do something you are already doing isn't very meaningful.

Also my company never had 160 excess currency, it had at max about 60 mostly because of donations.
Currently it has 25.02 since no one is buying our excess food.

You can put up a trade offer. Just move the drop-down menu to make it say, "Buy: GOLD" and "Sell: UAH" or something else to that effect.

nothingclever

No one will buy it.
Plus you can only put up personal offers.
The only trading you can do is setting up trade relations with another country and choosing the tax rate of goods.
In addition I cannot make any agreements at the moment because I already used my 2 agreements for x amount of time to set up mutual pacts with 2 countries.

Each day I send everyone new to the country a job offer that is on the list and you guys have them now.

Anyways today I offered Mutual Protection Pacts to Hungary and Austria since they are directly connected to us. Hopefully Sweden/Norway will not try to invade more countries after Germany and Russia since they've been having trouble with war system bugs and said they only wanted to "protect" themselves.

If they do attack us at least a few other countries can join in a war and fight them for us if they want to with the safety of knowing our country would be attacked first before moving on to them so it would give them an early start.

Romania just asked me if Ukraine would merge with it since Pakistan supposedly may try to take us over to get at Norway.

I said we'd rather risk our country in a war even if we lose rather than just hand it over. If enough people accept my MPPs then we might not get attacked at all even if that's Pakistan's plan. I really don't know but if we are taken over in a war at least I can complain about it being taken forcefully instead of freely offering it up to someone else who has no reason or ability to return it leaving me no reason to object later on.

I've also sent a message to the leader of Pakistan to see what he has to say.

Hmm, seems the Erepublik message service is down.
Looks like my invites are floundering instead of bringing me gold, so if I'm to create that housing company I'll need 15 gold.
Apparently, nobody else has any gold cause nobody is donating... But, there is 25 gold in the Ukrainian treasury.

I need that gold, Mr. President!

nothingclever
2008-05-07, 06:28 AM
I would if I could but there is no option to withdraw money. I think it is this way so the money can only be used to pay the 5 gold monthly tax for political parties.

Driderman
2008-05-07, 11:04 AM
You can't withdraw money from the treasury? Are you sure?
I'm talking about the national treasury here, not the party treasury.

I'm pretty sure I've read about several presidents who have emptied the national treasury to fill their own pockets

How much gold do you have and how much can you get now?

We could start a gift service but Sartain has said that he only needs 15 gold now for a housing company.

If you can get 15 and he still has his 25 we can figure out what will be made today. I'd suggest you contact him if you know you can get get the funds soon.
I think a housing company would be good now since if everyone has a house we will all get 2 wellness a day instead of one guaranteed without needing to send each other anything each day. Once the company is upgraded to level 2 we will all get +1 wellness a day after working and training and we can just switch back to working in the food industry since we will all have all the houses we need. When we have more gold to upgrade housing we can switxh to that industry again to make new ones.

Well it looks like Romania wants a piece of us regardless of the fact that their offer was not taken. While I wouldn't have agreed with their proposal it might have been nice to have put that option up for us to decide on instead of just turning it down immediately.

nothingclever
2008-05-14, 05:44 PM
There was really no point in agreeing with Romania. It would mean I declare war on it so Romania can take us over and then we have nothing and they would save money because it would cost them less to pay us 300 gold to start the war than the 900 gold it would cost them to start it.

The president says he'd "give our country back" after we join but that's impossible. Until they add a rebellion option you can't do anything to get your country back or let people take it back.

Anyways if we can get anyone to join now it would help to have more citizens in the war no matter how few they are since we'd look worth helping if we have more people and we get a big defensive bonus to increase our combat strength.

Bulgaria has signed a Mutual Protection Pact will us and Hungary may do so as well.
Turkey is doing an excellent job defending us but I have no idea how long this will last.

Well Turkish aren't too happy to protect us, but they think it's dishonorable if they don't act according to defence pact.
By the way, they see us as "a few americans having fun in east", I doubt they'd fight Romania if they gave the some hundreds of gold Turkei wanted.

Just read their forums and newspapers, being actually turkish and all.

nothingclever
2008-05-20, 07:18 PM
It seems like we should all just move to Bulgaria. I've sold the GitP company because it had no employees after Ukraine was taken over and the prices of food in Romania were much better as well as the availability.

We can't really do anything in Romania until the Rebellion feature is added to the game and we have so few people compared to Romania's population that it is unlikely that we will be able to do much anyway.

If we don't go to Bulgaria we might as well go to Canada where the majority of people speak English and can't complain about "foreigners" the way the Romanians did even though we weren't even in their country.

Right now I'm pretty much just tired of all the drama and I'm going to Pakistan to see if I can order up a level 4 house for myself. I'll probably go to Canada afterwards since that's where I'm from and staying in Romania is just pointless.
