We Could have:
1.) Created a Program where every new player has a one on one mentor to make sure they succeed, With 4000 active players we could increase our population by showing new players that we really care.
2.) Saved the World.
3.) Focused on ways to help allies like India and Bosnia who are under constant PTO threat.
4.) Poured Propaganda into our enemies Media. Battal cannot into eRep?
5.) Watched the Oklahoma City Thunder decimate the Cavaliers.
6.) Created a war effort fund and worked on schemes to fill it with gold, cause wars cost money...bro.
7.) Written articles that new players will actually want to read and will be interested by. (HEY YOU NEW GUY... YEAH YOU)
8.) Written articles encouraging new players to come and join us on IRC as our most active players are IRC users.
9.) Not lost the game...
10.) Organize a mass email campaign to IGN, Gamespy or Gamespot.
11.) A lot of other stuff I cannot think of because I am so pissed we just spent a week discussing the same issue over and over.
Seriously guys, hospital policy is set in stone. Trying to change it is like trying to get us to stop printing money or donating weapons instead of salaries to soldiers. It works, it always has and if we deviate we are introducing stuff we don't want to mess with. There are many more productive ways we can help the country. I am willing to bet that any of the serious things I listed above, would help us retain players or allied players.

Always meaning 5 months? WE need some more debate then "the establishment is of the opinion that it knows what its doing and everyone else can stfu." This being the general response whenever someone has the gall to question the countries elites.
OMG YES
YES. Here be truth.

Voted.

Or ... we could have dropped 5 Q2 hospitals into strategic states and saved dozens of players from death by asphyxiation.
inb4 hospital zombies troll this article
crap, too late
we could have put a hospital in new york, texas, and montana
>>9.) Not lost the game...
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Supermario, it takes 24 hours per vote, so no, we could not have put a hospital in New York, Texas, and Montana(WTF????????????).
at least I was inb4 your troll-fail
The truth is right here,
I agree wholly. http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/oh-shuddup--1156225/1/20#comments" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/oh-s[..]ments
OKC Thunder? srsly?
<3
What I am about to say, I say in the spirit of discussion, and not as an upstart. That being said, to say that so many players expressing their views is a waste of time just because you say so, is arrogant. This is what some other players have talked about! The attitude that if new players aren't on board with the top dogs then they must be retarded. This article demonstrates an eUS factor that truly IS harming retention! Why should I or other "nOObS" even play this game?! Should we play our hardest just so we can aspire to follow the guidelines of the high level players?Should we log in every day just to shut our mouths in the comments and forums? I vehemently agree that higher level does translate to more in-game experience. Your opinions most certainly do carry more clout because of this fact. But it does NOT translate to omniscience. I agree that we don't REALLY need the hospitals simply due to game mechanics. It's not about hospitals, it's about the game being mind-numbingly boring at my level and lower! But if we're talking retention then we're talking freedom of debate without being scolded by the Titans of the eUS. Let the bickering begin...it is eAmerica after all!
@Green Lion: We are not talking about the new players who ask questions. We are talking about the people who were here for WW III and who saw what works. The people who start the monthly hospital debate are not new players they are seasoned who are doing it for sub count and notice.
So you're not going to smite me?
Rangu speaks the truth! Hate on Brazil for a while. Hey wait ... I just thought of a damn good way to baby boom. Everybody likes Rio, right?
Heaven forbid that people discuss things that aren't preordained by the elite power players. That's crazy talk.
No 😛
Unless you don't like the OKC thunder, then we have a very serious problem.
I like your style!
The hospital debate is the cancer killing eRep.
If it helps, while the hospital debate was going on, I ran some newbie-centered ads. 😉
....another smart article on how stupid this q2 hospital thing is.... honestly can we just move on
original comment was about uk, i just repeated generalizing for entire phoenix...
I have to respectfully disagree with one point. The fortress strategy isn't set in stone. If enough people want this to change, then it's entirely possibly Congress will see a shake up eventually, where the people that usually win, don't, because they won't give the people what they want.
I'm not saying this is GOING to happen, just that it COULD.
Only thing worse than the debate is the whining...
It's ridiculous to think we could give "every new player ... a one on one mentor to make sure they succeed" with anywhere near the same amount of effort and organization invested in the discussion in the press (hint: it's harder than getting a few blowhards to write newspaper articles). Sure, it's a much better objective. But if we can do that, there's no reason we can't also have some people writing newspaper articles... people always do. Regardless of whether we're saving the world at the time or not.
This just happened to be the discussion this time, lots of people had opinions, everybody that knows anything about opinions... knows that they all stink. Including yours, Gaius.
Battal cannot into eREp ;_;
Thank you Mr. Julius. You speak words of wisdom.
Damn it if Gaius isn't correct.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Oh god, you mentioned other things that people could argue about 😨
>2.) Saved the World.
How will the US save the world from Eden imperialism?
"nuff said"
But most/all of these are blatant lies, or are completely irrelevant.
Don't worry. If the choice is between building more hospitals or losing their jobs in the next election, you'll see their minds change pretty quick.
*teary eyed*
You have lost me Gaius, you have lost me...
