Also : it occurred to me we should mention eDOPE in the sticky about guilds, shouldn’t we? We’re not exactly a guild, but close enough, no?
Ever since I’ve been battling regularly, I’ve switched back to the cheaper q1 foods as well. I’ve also heard mentioned that it’s more cost effective to gift yourself and eat q1s, rather then eating the higher quality foods.
I posted this on the other board too, but I donated my 5 gold today. Count me in!
what’s this other board I keep hearing about? Anyone have a link?
The eDOPE board created by Raza :
eFrance repulsed eSpain attack on Aquitaine (which, I learnt since, was mostly a diversion to avoid a counterattack in Sardinia, or divert soldiers from an important battle in Sichuan). PEACE also took back Sardinia yesterday (much less suspense than the other day, though, and the eItalian main hospital has been destroyed).
My varnish of Spanish got me an ambassador job in Argentina, since eFrance’s diplomatic corps is very under-developed. I intend to take it seriously (while I can see most ambassadors almost never show up. The only ones really active in eFrance are the eCanadian and eDutch ambassadors, for instance) and learn a lot about what’s going on in Latin America. I might even move there, and I expect this to help me a lot with my Spanish. That’s the main reason I volunteered for that, actually.
Meanwhile, since the elections for congress are approaching and I belong to a not-too-serious party (the quackmunist party), I might run in a mock campaign I’ve no chance to win, against someone who irritates us or someone important, like the current president.
Maybe I should look into that, and use gifts rather than high quality food.
You remember the mysterious guy who’s working for us for almost nothing and don’t answer our mails?
I don’t know what or who he is, but I looked at his friend-list, and there are a bunch of major players, there : amongst others, the president of the USA, one of the leaders of the Theocrats, a former president of Malaysia, and a variety of others high level players, some of them with names that ring a bell, even though I don’t remember who they are…
I suspect that his employment conditions are the last of his concerns…
Interesting, I suggest we don’t give him any raises and work him like a cheap dog.
It’s complete crazyness in eFRance, tonight, and it’s going to be worst in the days (and particularly week-end) to come.
Following an article on a major game site, the population rose by 40% in four hours, and they keep coming. Two hours after the beginning of the population boom, there wasn’t any Q1 or Q2 food left. Plenty of news jobs have been created by the government and reactive GMs, and somehow people managed to buy food in droves in other countries and put it on the market, but we don’t know how it will develop tomorrow. Even some foreign companies have noticed something was happening and reduced salaries by up to 60% during the evening.
Note that this was the result of a deliberate attempt to attract new players, but this outcome was unexpected. Nobody has a clue as how to handle the situation. An “adoption” system had been put in place to help newbies, but everybody who happened to be present had to “adopt” new players, sometimes by the dozens.
I assume that many people who joined won’t stay, but the article appeared online only this evening, and apparently will stay on the front page of the site until the end of the week end. So, we don’t know what to expect.
I just got my Hard Worker gold and donated it to the org.
Is there any way we can take advantage of the situation in France and open a q1 company and use the cheep labor to export to a country where we can make a fortune we should have enought cash to get the export licence as well start a new company and move.
So whatever happened to the company plan?
Is this still going on? I am a leaf in the wind of your will.
