Support for the Journalist Module!
Mael Dunbar
Some of you may remember me from the Old Days, when the eUNL was still a thing, or from after we said our goodbyes to our Belgian friends.
After a deep slumber I awoke from a coma in this New World, with weird aerial battles, boosters, military divisions and the like.
Coming from the Old Republic, it is nice to see that the developers have created a more diverse military module, expanded the economy and in general improved the game. I can't say it looks easier for new players, though, but I guess eRepublic has never been an easy game to learn.
Trying to read up on events and developments I came across the ingame forum and stumbled on a topic I think a lot of you may find interesting. It's a thought for implementing news as a full module (like politics, military, economy,...), a Journalist Module.
Please take the time to read this and show your support for it on the forum, in an article or any other way you feel is good.
As a long-time supporter of eRepublik Journalism I was very thrilled about the idea, and I can only hope the rest of eRepublic will be too.
Thanks a lot for your support!
I added to politics because of lack of a more relevant option.

Woaa I'll have a look for sure. thank you for pointing this out to us all, I'm pretty sure most of our players NEVER check the erepublik forum.

Interesting. I'll have to check it out when I have some more time!
Well, for starters - not too long ago, there were Plato-organized contests, where best articles received gold prices from admins (MaartenW being one of the winners as Dutch citizen).
Doing something similar on weekly basis would be great (even though with Plato Foundation being on holidays, there is noone to really maintain such a project).
"Journalist companies", where several citizens could work together in one journal, seems like a good idea. Also, some change in endorsements (allow bigger endorsements, or variable size) could be interesting... but all of this requires work, which I am afraid is not high on the admin list, as they have plenty of unfulfilled promises to follow upon.
In the meantime, Dutch government supports journalists and their qualitative articles with monetary reward, so active Dutch journalists can enjoy some benefit... and foreign journalist may decide to join our country 🙂 .
Let's invite all journalist to our country. eNL the journalist capital of the eWorld
Great idea! Eternal news feed fun and info. Though we pretty much rock already. 😉
Sadly I have to agree that admins are not in their best on getting any good things coming around. I think they fear everything that promotes activity over here. I also won a bunch of stuff in writing contests, also Plato Foundation sponsored as private sponsored ones. At least we are trying our best in media activity and are among the best eCountries in this field at the moment.
Still a bright mind as ever ;P
hahaha 😁
where is our friend Pierre Delvaux? is he still around?
He got banned a long way in the past for supposed usage of multi's. Seemed like an error, but that's how the story ended.. http://enetherlands.nl/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=10559
I am glad that you got out of your eComa!
Thanks for the awesome support!
Mostly, the idea was to come up with some changes that would require a minimal amount of work for eRep Labs, i.e. those that would be quick and easy to implement. That would be a good start IMO, until they figure out a way to monetize the journalist module. After that, new improvements would come naturally - the point is to get things started.
You have received the ''Community Media Project'' prize of 1 000 currency for your qualitative article - and if your article will be one of the best in the entire presidential term, you can expect another extra reward.
Keep it going 😉 !
