Recruiting Efforts
At the time of this printing, eHungary (a PEACE GC nation) is the number 1 rated country in terms of experience and is rapidly closing on eUSA’s No. 1 rank in terms of population. You can see the current population rankings here.
With the new citizenship module in place, people in California are considered Indonesian, people in Georgia are considered Portuguese and the taking of states has decreased our population since the last population boom. Right now, eUSA needs YOU to spread the word about eRepublik and recruit people to our cause! The more people we have, the more gold that oppressors will have to spend to try to take our states because we will have higher “walls” built on the battlefields. As our population gains more battle experience, this will also eventually translate into more we can do to help our allies and to defend our lands from attack.
Now is the time for us to start our real life recruiting surge! Just as we read and vote on important articles in eUSA, we need YOU to do the same in the real life USA to advertise to the general population. To get involved in this effort, there has been a drive which is started NOW and we need your votes today! If you have not done so, all eUS citizens are encouraged to register for Digg, a real-life voting system that is similar to the one used in eRepublik. After you have registered, read and vote up this Digg article today! We need 1000 votes to get into the top 10, so your vote is important! Participation is free and the gold eRepublik awards for new citizen advancement who come on board through this ad campaign will go to bolster eUSA’s and eCanada’s military operations together with the baby boom that will result. For more information, read Sir Ekim’s articles about this topic.

** Battle Results
** While we held Russia off in No Man's Land for most of the day, in the last half hour PEACE's tanks joined the fight and let loose on Kansas, decimating the wall before the close of the battle, conquering our last high grain region and destroying the Q5 hospital there.
South Carolina has been secured from attack by Portugal. We have also secured Wyoming from attack by Russia. New Mexico has been conquered by Indonesia.
_____________________________________ ___ __________________________________
** War Update
After conquering New Mexico, Indonesia has gone on to attack Oklahoma. Although Portugal lost the battle in South Carolina, they used their base in Georgia to attack Kentucky before the South Carolina battle was over. In a similar move, before losing the battle in Wyoming, Russia has also launched an attack on Kansas.
** At this time, citizens are urged to defend Oklahoma. Because we have multiple battle fronts that must be coordinated, all military personnel are to follow orders given through their chain of command, which may be different from directives given to the general public.

eUS Training Division
Would you like to contribute to the war effort? Would you like to learn more about how to play eRepublik? If you are not currently part of the eUS Military and you want to learn and do more to defend North America, then consider joining the military by enlisting in the eUnited States Training Division (TD). Once you’ve graduated the TD, you should have enough knowledge to go in almost any direction you want in eRepublik. If you want to further your military career, you can move on to the Home Guard or other military divisions and will be able to request free weapons to repel the invaders and increase your rank in the military more quickly. We need your help and so do our allies! Make your mark on the eWorld today and enlist in the eUnited States Training Division today, the best eRepublik training program in the world!
The war has led to a spike in applications to the TD, so you may not get an immediate response because many people are applying. Citizens are asked to remain patient for assignment to a platoon leader as soon as logistically possible.

One of the first...
High train in Kansas? 😛
sixth?
USA USA USA!!!
Let me get this straight, the winner of a battle maintains the advantage, when the attacker is losing they can retreat thus losing a battle, AND STILL MAITAIN THE ADVANTAGE?????? When an american citizen reports this obvious flaw, he is banned. When a PEACE citizen cheats they don't get anything but praise.
Our president gets banned for questioning a game mechanic. I guess we see what side the admins are on.
Jellymaxxx
Join the TD today
lol...thanks for catching the typo, Zoli. Corrected.
Exploits like that should be closed immediately, if not sooner. I mean, what's the point of a game where the stronger side can slant things to practically ensure their victory no matter what the defending side does?

Games like this shouldn't allow one side to use blatant and obvious holes in the game mechanic in order to win.
>Our president gets banned for questioning a game mechanic. I guess we see what side the admins are on.
Wasn't it just a few weeks ago when the Admins helped you, by stopping the robbery with the fake fort knox?
I for one am not accusing the admins of supporting PEACE. But they should do something about how easy it is to exploit the use of multiple battles to remain perpetually on the offensive (even if some are retreated from and others lost).
Seriously. eIndonesia, eRussia, and ePortugal have been defeated on one front several times (not even counting the New Mexico retreat), yet because they were still fighting on another front, they could immediately open another battle or even the same one as before and thus stay on the offensive. This completely prevents the eUSA from regaining the initiative no matter how well we fight.
I suggested stronger orginization, recruiting, training and retention efforts before the war started...this is barely enough way too late...seriously. I still wont give up the fight though.
is it supposed to take weeks to be placed in a TD platoon?
Go USA, Your friends are with You !
poor HR he must be freed!!!!, and the game mechanics need some tuning up, a attacker can attack almost indefinitely, look what Portugal did with the South Carolina scenario
"Tell your RL friends to join eRepublik?"
This is your strategy? My god, the U.S. is even more doomed than I initially predicted two weeks ago.
@ Jaime Hasten
If the United States wasn't so careless with its relationship with allies then you guys wouldn't be so overwhelmed. You can't go complain to daddy admin about that mean old PEACE.
Longbaugh, if you had bothered to read my letter, you would have seen that I wasn't trying to blame PEACE. To quote myself, "I'm sure some will see my citizenship and claim this is sour grapes. But to be quite honest, I would say this even if the situation were completely the opposite. Exploits like this tend to ruin the enjoyment of a game and a good war, even for the winning side."
This is an exploit in my opinion, and as an amateur programmer and game designer, I can't see such an obvious loophole and not want to see it closed. So please refrain from such insidious accusations in the future.
He used my profile pic for that picture of Uncle Sam. I'm not sure how feel about that... 🙂
Darkhour - It looks like we both got the Uncle Sam pic from the same place 😃. There are only so many of these pics around that don't say "I want you".
Jaime Hasten: Romania did the same thing to us, no one cried about it.
Stop being a baby 😉

@Heymans -- You should have. It's a broken game mechanic.
Seriously, do people honestly want to play a war game where the winner is the one who attacks first?
Relin: The war was to short, we got PTO'd while we were being hit over and over. You know who helped invade us? Our great 'allies' eUSA.
I'd love to know why our president isn't opening up battlefronts so we can take back Kansas.
Relin: if it wasnt a problem for month for anybody ( even we who were defending than ) than dont cry about it know.
it was all fine when romania used it against Indonesia or Hungary. Romania didnt dryed when it backfired them.
you are not losing becouse of this but becouse of bad strategy.
attacking 3 country whit many MPPüs and dont closing them. Dont building a west side defence. Building 2 waistles forts in east. And not understanding the game only cry when someone know it better and you fail to understande it.
like the attack by Croatia to reoccupy Vojvodina from Hungary. You opened a battle after 6 Hours the RW was going ( to give it back to Serbs ). We said that if RW wins the other battle will close. But you didnt care. Hit 600K in the battle and 0 to RW. and after we won U say we use game mechanics and cheated ( how if we started the RW hours ago and tell what will happen when you opened the battle? ).
Florida, we're coming!
HOSS IS BOSS, JEWITT TO LEAD HIM THROUGH IT!!!
