Earth calling Plato... Come in, Plato...

Perhap’s we’re to blame.
We complained that Plato had made things “too simple”.
Honestly, Plato, it wasn’t a challenge to see if you could create meaningless complexity. We were just venting. Forgive us. Don’t punish us like this… we can’t take it any more.
Gnilraps proudly brings you:
Resource Wars, keys to controlling your nation’s destiny:
1 - Keep track of all four divisions in all your battles.
2 - Keep track of what minute every battle is in.
3 - Keep track of how many domination points are needed for the next token.
4 - Keep track of how many domination points are being accumulated by your nation per minute.
5 - Remember to keep track of what minute every battle is in.
6 - Keep track of every other nation’s domination points.
7 - Keep track of every other nation’s accumulated points per minute.
8 - Control every one of 168 battles.
9 -Direct your tanks to raise walls to over-speed certain nations’ domination points.
10 - Direct your tanks to lower walls to slow down other nations’ domination points.
11 - Direct your tanks to perfectly accumulate domination points for your nation.
12 - Don’t lose track of what minute every single battle is in.
13 - Control every mini-battle in every open campaign so that new campaigns open when needed.
14 - Don’t let any new battles open when you are trying to control your Domination points.
15 - For God’s sake, keep track of what minute each and every battle is in.
16 - Never log off eRepublik…
17 - Don’t even blink.
18 - Remember, no user-scripts are allowed in this game. So don’t even THINK about it.
19 - Keep track of all four divisions in all your battles.
20 - Keep track of what minute every battle is in.
21 - Don’t forget to update your CP’s allocation screen.
22 - Double check the stupid f**king map to make sure you aren’t blocked out of a resource.
23 - NEVER check your email, you’re likely to miss something in eRepublik.
24 -
25 - No problemo.
Plato,
This is the stupidest piece of garbage you’ve ever even imagined. And I say that as someone who remembers the "El Dorado" missions...
It is inconceivable that you would think that any one of the 194 people left playing this game would find this even remotely compelling.
Please announce Resource Wars Volume 3 sometime before the end of the year.
Thank you,
Gnilraps and everyone else who give’s two craps about this game.
I mean, I’ll bet you’ve had some really bad ideas cross your desk over that last 7 years or so. We all give you credit for NOT acting on those particular really stupid concepts and missions and events and updates that your crack team of expert game-designer-gypsies floated for you that you actually managed to avoid. Really. We can’t even begin to imagine…
But we are left wondering what the hell you were thinking lately…
Did this just… sort of… slip through your quality control measures?
Or are you just punishing us with this detritus?

I plugged 16 shells from a 30 '0'6
eldorado reward 1 energy bar lol
im a zombie dont mind me
😕
Maybe they like a degree of random in the distribution? It's not possible to control everything so tightly in a large country like eUSA, so we are naturally disadvantages.
eJapan, on the other hand, with a small and tight-knit group, are doing quite well.
Frankly I think this sort of shake up is exactly what the game needs. It might wake up the powerful countries and get wars going for control of territory again.
should bring about an invasion of japan!
But that is just the beginning........ then there is after the RW what then?
I'm surprised that you're still surprised, they've been known to speak a completely different language for years now. I mean... I think I've read around 50 articles over the last few years with the same, good ideas to improve the game. You know the deal, we all do (gypsies excluded), work skill back, different work skills, remove working as manager, bring currencies back, non-linear strength etc. What they got from that? "Let's add some imaginary complexity built on top of the game instead of actually trying to fix and/or make the modules interesting again, who needs that". There is only one thing that will get through those thick skulls - money. Stop buying shit for euros/dollars, that will at least make them go one way or another. Setting the servers on fire would still be a better option than this neverending decay.
Yeah definitely one of the stupidest ideas they've come up with.
I believe randomness is what they want from this. That and a return to perks in colonization. Remember the competition for Karnataka, Hello Kitty, etc.
Unfortunately not enough left in the game for that type of action and this will drive many more out.
You took your eyes off the clock to write this. Go to your room!
How could you look away long enough to write this - "Keep track of what minute every battle is in."
This is as bad, if not worse than V2.... El Dorado was a pleasure compared to this. Now, get back to tracking this insanity.
Good advice above - everyone needs to stop buying, because one thing is for certain: This was designed solely with Plato's revenue as the Prio, if not the entire point of this trickery.
To this very day, I still have the red exclamation mark flashing on the El Dorado mission.
I refuse to invite anyone here for them, and I'm not ponying up the gold to make it go away.
Being a WTF (Work, Train, Fight) player, I'm only vaguely aware of the whole resource wars thing. If I have to move to Oregon, Japan to fight, okay...cool. But, then I'm still gonna log off after I get my candy.
I did notice a slight decrease in production today, but it isn't like it matters much since everything we produce is so devalued by the bot-economy.
Happy Mother's Day!
U got a point 🙂
Let see how many we gonna stay in this game...
I kinda like this event, at least it needs some strategy from the countries. But yes, it's just too complicated and time-consuming to get bonuses.
Such as Hungary 😃
By the way, Plato can't really do much.
There is one thing that could fix the game, and that's either restarting it, or decimating everyone's stats and introducing a system where new players can grow more quickly, so they might have a chance to get a lot more closer to the old players.
The problem is, the admins can't make this change, because the old players (who have spent hundreds and thousands of hours here), and especially the paying players (who have spent hundreds and thousand of euros) would leave instantly, seeing that they took away what he spent his time and money on. In a game where people are only playing because of the sunk cost fallacy, taking away the things the players have worked so much for is the end.
The last years of erep was about admins looking for other ways to fix the game, failing to realize that it's impossible. The massive outcries, and the hipocrisy of the players (saying things like "remove Work as Manager", when they would be the first ones to leave if it happened) always makes them do something new, but it won't ever work.
There is only one way to fix this game, and that needs us to accept the fact, that we need to make sacrifices if we don't want to lose this game. And this is not likely to happen.
I like this tournament and the changes as a result. Nobody is going to have full bonuses in their cores (probably!). That's only a good thing for activity and interest in geo-political things.
Gnil is annoyed because there might not be an easy button afterwards.
If it's too easy ...it's too easy.
If it's complex ...it's complex.
kudos to guys that keep track all of this 😃 its so hectic
Anybody? Anybody? Euler?
Easy... XD
FIST
Nope, why are you complaining of the resource wars? We've been asking for strategy for years and we finally get it and now you complain of that? Be happy for once and give it a shot
I don't know Gnil. We can't just keep complaining, we have to make an attempt to enjoy the game we have. This thing has created quite a bit of stir in the community, and the amount of battles have made it exciting for lots of people to get involved in BH's and CH's. In addition, the eUS probably won't get full resources. Which sucks, but makes us need more strategy. Having 10/10 bonuses was probably the worst thing that ever happened to the eUS. It created stagnant gameplay and attempt to play defense rather than offense. Something that younger players could never understand
The event itself is needlessly complex, I'll give you that. I'm reserving judgment though until after this is over to see how it all shakes out.
Wait, there's actually a point to this, other than cheap BHs and TP medals?
>16 - Never log off eRepublik…
so be me
lol ... I remember this:
https://forum.erepublik.com/index.php?/topic/3268-missions-clarification/page-2#entry43655
... and sudenly they create a mission to post an article and gather comments ...
They trolololololo me ... so let see what will happen after your article Gnilraps 😃 Maybe they'll trolololo you ... hehe
Now can be changed division and Domination points can be influenced by ALL players who are on line 🙂
