[Kravenn] How I helped eUK and try to continue
Kravenn
Around 9 months ago, I decided to write the biggest tutorial than UK could have. My reasons where quite simple
- Even if an article can be good, it can be hard to find after 3 days
- Game has so many things to explain that it is hard to publish a tutorial article explaining all
- Young Citizens doesn’t want to read a long tutorial where they will find only 2 sentences about what they are looking for
- UK doesn’t have a good tutorial
- URL should be simple
Following these guidelines, I decided to write who was probably the biggest tutorial ever created and after 18 days of work, I was proud to present my guide to eUK

In other cases : click on the following link : http://uktutorial.wordpress.com
Some days after I present it to the UK community: Admins decided to launch a tutorial contest “my first month in erepublik”
I decided to propose my tutorial and see what will happen (and being almost sure that I wouldn’t won the contest). Day before the end : I begin to see lot of visitors from romania (Country where admins are located).
And when results were published, I discovered that I won contest
Following that, several countries (Like Chile, Indonesia, …) asked me if they could translate it for their young citizens. Some countries (like Belgium and France) mentionned it on their forum.
Since I released my tutorial, I received more than 25000 visitors from all around the world.
Main stats are the following
- Almost 9000 visits from UK, 2000 from USA, 550 from Spain and 350 from France
- More than 900 from Indonesia, 550 from Chile, 400 from Belgium
To be short, except a lot of countries in Africa, my tutorial received visitors from all around the world.
Like everybody knows, from time to time, admins change several things. And there is no reason why my tutorial should remain in the past. When In game, something changes : I make my best to update it on the tutorial.
On the last MoHA article (available here) , there was something who had interest (at least for me)
Offer loans/aid (money, not like the NHS) from the government for younger players: 6
A bit before last Country president elections, I suggested a new scheme to help young players.
This scheme is about Training grounds, and should be launched when training grounds promo is on.
Sadly, it wasn’t scheduled to see the promo back after 2 weeks (I don’t blame current government).
My idea is the following one :
Because upgrade your Training grounds is a good investment. Government could propose something
- Bank of England could loan 5G to those who want to upgrade their 1st training grounds (the free one) into Q2 (cost is 11G in promo).
- Screenshots before and after the upgrade should be requested
- A guarantor MUST be found
- Bank of England Must receive gold back in max 30 days, if Golds aren’t back, the guy is put on an economical blacklist and the guarantor must pay debts. If guarantor can’t pay : he is also added on that list
In my opinion, it is a good opportunity to help young citizens to improve their lands, and also help at long term United Kingdom in damages made on battlefield but also on Gold who will be invested on your economy.
Well, that’s all from this article. I’m the just an example about what a TUP member can do to try to improve eUK.

Voted 🙂
is the tutorial updated yet?
I added a part about training contracts on this morning
is the rest updated? I haven't looked at it for a while
Rest is updated, I change screenshots when it is required. When admins will propose new war module, I will update. I just won't update screenshots because admins changed template
Jolly good article, though I'd like to point out to readers that you can help out from anywhere - not necessarily just TUP : P
well, congraz for hard work o/

LMAO
Minus the Trolling and lies you are a good egg I suppose :3
Demagogo.
got to be worth a vote
First time oi heard of it 😮 😮
V!
A wonderful tutorial indeed!

wow your flexible!!!! i have never seen anyone with there 'own' nose up there 'own' arse before.....
good tutorial however
Voted
I have been trying to pass on a similar idea in eSweden (loans to new players for upgrading training grounds) but sadly no one wants to listen. Anyway, voted!
good stuff
boated
Voted, Full support for TG Upgrade assistance. While the economy is making it hard for new players there are still plenty of eUK'ers in a good financial position and with TG being the greatest possible investment both financially and nationally, with them easy to pay back, there is literally no reason to get this going again!
Kravenn, you are a good troll, but a better salesman.
Good idea but risky giving newbies gold and them quitting the game.
that's why I suggested to add a guarantor. To be sure to have gold back
From eBelgian experience where the scheme ran for several months, the risk of someone not reimbursing their loan is close to 0.
but if your nickname is shadowukcs, the risk is over 9000
Vote! :😁
Well done Kravenn!

Whenever I meet a new player in game/chat; I just give him a link to your tutorial! 🙂 It is the best tutorial in erep by far! o7
Strength and Honour
Stop giving him flak for advertising the best erep tutorial to new players.
Voted, you are a national treasure Kravenn \o/
That sounds amazing, Kravenn. You have my support all the way. Good job.

I don't remember that scheme being your idea, Carlini has been banging on about it for months
I published stuffs about that on the forum. I talked with Carlini about it before release the idea and he told me that he worked on something similar or launched something similar on Legion.
Well, before proposing in public the idea, I launch the debate (there is at least 1 topic about that on the forum). Criterias can be changed but nobody can blame me about proposing something to help eUK and not only a party.
It's an idea that's been around for ages in some form or another, I remember something back in April along the same lines.
v84 great idea
