The Goal of the Game
•
by Rod Damon
I was debating what topic to write about next, when a response on another forum that I was reading late last night caught my eye.
The respondent had mentioned "the goal of the game".
Now erep we know is not like a board game or a video game, where there is a pretty straightforward goal given and then there is a clear winner and the game is over. So without a clear goal set by the nature of the game, we are left to define our goals individually. A lot of the ads for erep play upon that, be a president, a business leader, etc etc. The goals of the individual then shape the goals of the group that they belong to and in turn shape the country.
So I would like to hear from the people of eBelgium (AND ONLY THE PEOPLE OF eBELGIUM) and lets start to hear what your goals are in the game. Maybe once we have a clearer idea of everyone's goals, we can get busy in making sure we are working toward those goals.
I would especially love to hear from the "silent" Belgians. You know who you are, you log on, you click to work and train, buy some food, maybe fight.
I would ask that the "tactical Belgians" and foreign agents hold off on commenting.
This is an attempt to forge a dialogue between the active in Belgium press/forum types and the active but silent types.

I'm Rod Damon and I want to hear from you
Well actually I'm waiting V2 to be a godlike company manager😁.
.
And at the first time I played I tried to be CP. But it's too much work 😛.
Just started so my first goal is to meet new people. So feel free to add me and speak to me.
Later on build a successful company probably, something I hope to achieve in rl too.
I've recently joined, but am still wondering what I wanna do with my life on eRep. Currently I'm just searching the fora and news for some info and integrate myself into the society.
Maybe I'll try for company manager, maybe I'll try my luck in a party later. Mostly I just wanna contribute to help Belgium flourish.
It's great to see a couple of new Belgians like both Henri De Page and SpectreX, If you guys just stick around long enough, you'll be valuable assets to Belgium in the future, not to mention just joining the game, your helping Belgium out. I'm sure you'll both find your cliques soon enough, if you need any help just go on the Belgian Forums or PM an older player, I'm sure their are a lot of experienced players that wouldn't mind giving you a hand.
Good article. Aldo i dont think much of the beginners have any real goals for this game. they need time to figure out, what did they joined 🙂 This article can only be for those, whom play this game for a little time now, and they can see, what can him as individual, or as a group reach in this game.
Like Henri and spectre, they dont really know what is their goal. Beeing a company manager is like a middle goal, it can e reached fast, but its not usual to be a good manager. Only 10% of people can be a company owner, as they need 10 men to work ( lets count them as workers to ). Probably politics is a small group, so what can the rest, about 80% of the people do?
Well, the only goal for them can be set is national. As a group of individuals they can reach any goals they want, and in any time. Get high resources, rule the world, destroy our IRL enemies, mostly these came up, but these are only for "the big guys", not for Belgium. And we can say, not only such goals can be set.
For Belgium, having a free, and strong country with own economy, politics and power, its a really good goal. But U can step one forwar😛 U can join alliances, or make a new one!!!
And one other thing: U can set a goal that makes you special. Make something, that puts you on the map, have or make sthing that nobody did, reached or planed.
BTW "silent" people ( two clickers, as U can call them ) wont really answer, as they dont read news 🙂 . Who comments is an active person for hes country.
Also, goals will change overtime. Over time you will reach that goal and then what? Then your goal changes.
As for most people, they will probably want their country to be strong.

Rod, we'd like to hear from you too 😉
My longer term goals are trying to be as competitive as possible with my companies (don't have one yet) + trying to get the economy of a country (preferably ebelgium) as competitive as possible through politics + having fun by participating in a community.
