Do not like the trends

Do not like the trends,

Group A Training War, tanking unnecessary then begging people so they can get even stronger. We all started at about the same time, if we all train we should not have elitist dividing the vUSA.

Group B The Comic Book clowns they want to take off taking players that can help the vUSA and do what ever they want

The idea I thought we had was to learn from eRep,

Ok two branches,

but that is as far as it was supposed to go.

I am disappointed but what can we do.

we can bend over and take it right up the poop shute when we realize the mass of Serbians can out fight our "tanks" easily. What people need to understand is tanks aren't made overnight. eRepublik didn't even have true "tanks" for months and months. Sure you can sway the tide of a battle...but who says supplying a group of twenty people can't? Spreads out XP out and helps more than just a few people gain rank quicker. What's better. 5 FM ranked players or twenty Gen. ranked players? I'm no math whiz but strength in numbers has always made sense to me.

Fuck elitism. And fuck everyone for it.

Don't let that be us.

Yeah, i don't like the whole idea of tanks, so 20 strong people get really strong and get money for tanking, and we just fight 3 times a day, while they tank and earn ranks, xp and gold.

Wait, people are already tanking? You've got be...

If nothing else, put your money into companies so that you'll have renewable income and the vUS will have a strong industrial base to fight Serbia with. It's a win-win.

Same. TBH I don't understand why they were begging for money cause I'm doing fine with 3 fights a day and all. Don't get them, hated the idea of having a few tanks in eRep and I'll hate it here, everyone has the right to be equal and get equal supply etc, thats why were in the vUS Marines, right?

Besides, if you rely on a few 'tanks' and pour your money into them, what'll happen if they dont turn up? POWER TO THE MASSES!!! Steve

Well if the Serbs are training up their "tanks" fast, then we must do the same. I don't like the early arms race, but now that it has started then it is something we have to win. If not then we will long be on the losing side. Dislike it as we may, we have to play along. Take solace in knowing that it was not us who started this arms race.

Totally untrue. Mass damage in numbers outweighs tanks. Hands down. Tanks are TACTICAL resources. Mass numbers are STRATEGIC resources.

Tactical-short term

Strategic-long term.

World simulation games-long term.

Gotta see the forest through the trees. Build numbers then worry about your tactical resources.

Currently, strength>rank we're all close to the same strength...rank will only give you a megar percentage more damage (1-15 points) the more people we have hitting the better. If you want to advance through the rank vortex quicker do it on your own, I'm not giving anyone anything I have to help them before i help my country.

At the moment, these "tanks" are doing nothing but wasting their money and health. The decisive factors will be economic power. Things like accessibility to hospitals and the size of population/workforce. These "tanks" seem to be taking a selfish approach and are thinking that they will be respected and loved members of the community because they are so strong. Sadly, they are just wasting their money.

Yes... some genius up in command ordered a kamikaze attack back in pre-beta. Needless to say, it did not go well.

Subject: Re: Do not like the trends Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:37 pm

I need health coz of that guy

Subject: Re: Do not like the trends Tue Dec 06, 2011 9:45 pm

Yeah, don't go kami, its stupid. Its only good for last stands, and those are very rear, and important battles, but you won't be able to fight properly for the next few days, unless you are rich Wink

I am, But i cant find the Gold for Wellness button

Subject: Re: Do not like the trends Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:32 am

There is no gold for wellness button, the best way to regain wellness is to buy gifts, if you don't have USD go on the monetary market and exchange some gold for it.

Those Tanks are probably betting on there being a baby boom later for their countries. Those babies will build up their economy and look up to the strongest as their leaders. But true, who ever has the mass numbers of citizens now has the long term advantage. Not just in Hospitals and Defense Systems built, but in strength. By the time other nations get their baby boom, our current babies will be stronger than their current babies. Still, it doesn't hurt to start training yourself up now. Later down the line, that will reward itself in Battle Hero Medals.

Rank can always be caught up on. Strength not so much. Personally I am not worrying about ranks and damage, as it limits potential wealth gain (ie, spending all my gold on goods rather than investments). So as long as I don't miss out on strength training (much), then one should be able to match the "tanks" in the future.

Yes. It was this slow.

And its better that way, and NO boosters.

Subject: Re: Do not like the trends Sun Dec 11, 2011 5:39 pm

I agree with no boosters, But I like the strength going up faster
