Why the hell did you tell us Lithuania in the first place? Over half our population has to wait before they can even become a citizen.

This was suggested when we didn't know South Korea had a hatred against LT. It was chosen because LT gives the highest pays and has the cheapest market. The perfect newbie area.

Don't worry about SK's current posture against LT. We are talking with their officials to give LT migrants the green light.

As i said before, no facepuncher will be left behind.
Besides.. We wouldn't be strong enough to do anything right now. The majority of our community hasn't even reached level 7 which means they can't join a political party yet.

Why have we been painting the SK leader as some evil dictator?

From my point of view, the SK government is just a close-knit group. They recognize they aren't as strong as Russia or Indonesia and so their apprehensiveness is perfectly understandable.

Not liking the video in the OP, but that's just my opinion.

Updated the list.

I think the prez of SK is not evil, nor a dictator, but I think he doesn't realise that we come in peace.

But negociations have pretty much stopped for today, so we're stuck with what I've PMed you.

I gotta do some IRL work, but when I come back I'll discuss his demands more and get the Ministry of Education started.

[DVH]

And now for something completely different.

I don't need anyone right now, but once we've settled in Korea, I'd like one or two helpers to handle diplomacy with me.

You just need at least a decent grasp of the English language (not asking for nativity, being Dutch myself) and you need to be able to convince people well.

If you're interested, please PM me.

[monkey11]

DVH, you should PM me the convo.

And from what I understand the current prez is a good guy, just scared of outsiders threatening his power.

Non-Agression Pact.

I joined to help our cause.

[Hidole555]

Working on the guides right now.

The Ministry of Education states this:

Facepunchers in Lithuania (and other countries besides SK):
Your goal is training, fighting, and money making.

I propose a Dollar-a-day plan. Each day a FPer in Lithuania works, they will save 1 Dollar of their wage.
In the coming days, that means by the time we are ready to migrate to SK each FPer will have around 20-30 dollars. These will then be converted to Gold. Meaning each FPer will gain 1-1.5 Gold Bars.
Which can then either be used to start new companies if we haven't made them by that time or converted to South Korean money to boost their economy.

Facepunchers in South Korea:
Where Lithuania meets our economic needs, you shall meet our political needs. Your goal is training, fighting, and influence. Be a happy participant in the Korean economy. If you are contacted for joining a political office, notify us first and we'll probably be perfectly fine letting you have it. Do NOT start any drama/controversy and do NOT mention Facepunch.

Based on the fact that we're trying to be helpful, I think this is going about this the wrong way. I think we should go in with our hands where they can see us. If they dont trust us, how are we supposed to work with them and glorify Korea?

Kinda DVH's call though.

That's sort of what I'm trying to say. We should show our forum in an act of diplomacy rather than leak it and someone reads it and gets the wrong idea.

Russia is always a big sleeping bear in games like this. Its best just not to mess with it. We by no means will have the force to stop them.

I think it's still too early to show them this.I don't really have the feeling they trust us (at least not enough to show them our "inner sanctum"), so secrecy is still needed, at least for now. If we have a mutual trust, I don't see why not.

On my second trip to Korea (after being assassinated, I made a second account a couple months later) and the country had the worst dictator, and because he was RL Korea he had incredibly broken english, and all his RL Korean baby boom followers loved him. The country was a mess. Lots of embezzlement, lots of dirty politics.

We have nothing to lose, only gain from this. I could care less about the state of Lithuania, and the economy will be booming by the amount of war going on. Hope for cheap food and weapons and fight up.

The video in the opening post is a just a joke in good spirit. The joke being that Koreans are containing their grounds to almost Koreans only.

And i don't think South Koreans have a problem with the Ex-North Korean ruler being ridiculed?
If you people think i'm wrong please tell me and i will remove the video. It was just added to add a bit of humor to the opening post.

About the president: I have spoken with the president and i found him to be a polite man with no bad intentions. The people who seem to make the decisions are the people in that official military unit they have.

Edited:

However, some of the members in their main MU accuse the president of stealing money from the government for personal gains. I don't know what to think of that as of this moment though. They might just want to take over controll themselves.

Ok people! It's a new e-sim day! Don't forget to train work and fight!

So I just managed to get a random job for Econ. skill 2 that pays 16.27 LTL (which is a standard for skill 5). But it was apparently a mistake, because soon after working there I was fired.
At least I managed to get a little bonus.
Also only 50XP to level 7 now.

[Hidole555]

So how does my dollar-a-day plan that I mentioned earlier sound?
Should the money be sent to someone?

Guide's on its way. About halfway done.

Edited:

Here is the guide! Tell me what you think!

Let's go through everything step by step.

LITHUANIAN Facepunchers SCROLL DOWN TO "FPers in LITHUANIA"

When You Sign Up

Choose South Korea as the country to join with the province being North Chongcheong

You must be aware of our goal. We seek to reunify Korea and strengthen its economy.

You must post on the thread what your name in e-Sim is. Simply saying you joined is not enough. If your e-Sim name is the same as your FP name please say so! If you are not added to the list it will be much harder for you to recieve any updates that need to be sent.

Your First Day Read this entire part before you do what the e-Sim tutorial says.

As it is there is no FP company yet, when the tutorial tells you to get a job you'll be limited to just the South Korea Org which currently pays $8.50 per working session. Work there and recieve your money for the day.

When the tutorial tells you to fight pick a battle to fight in. There is usually always at least one going on, moments when there are none are very rare!

Go Berserk! twice. Notice how your HP is at 0? That's good. Remember: In this game, nothing bad happens when your health reaches zero. You are just unable to fight unless you raise your health.

Here is how you get health back:
There are three sources of health in this game: Food, Gifts, and Time.

Every new ingame day you recieve 50 health back.

Each ingame day you can consume 10 Foods and 10 Gifts.

How much and of what quality you can afford are (for now) dictated by your salary.
Unfortunately right now you can only get only 8 to 10 Q1 foods with your Salary. Each one restores only 10 health. Foods of higher quality restore more health. (Q2 = 20, Q3 = 30 etc.)

Scarf down all the food you've bought and go back and fight back to 0hp to get more experience.

A quick word on weapons: Damage does not effect the amount of exp you gain. Do NOT waste your money on weapons.

And there you have it. You're done for the day. You've trained, worked, fought, ate, and fought some more.

Come back tomorrow and do the same quick process. Once our companies are established food and gifts should be much less of a problem.

FPers in LITHUANIA

Our mission is a special one: We must gain as much wealth as possible to assist the success of our companies and fellow FPers in Korea.

To do this I propose the Dollar-A-Day plan.
Every day you work, you save one of the dollars you earned. Do NOT spend it.
So by day 5 on the dollar a day plan, you'll have 5 dollars that you mustn't touch.

The reason for this is that we have less than 30 days to acquire wealth.
If we stick to the Dollar-a-Day plan then by the time we can migrate to Korea each FPer in Lithuania will have around 20 - 30 dollars saved.

But what shall we do with the now useless Lithuanian money? Simple.

We convert it into gold which can then be used for a variety of purposes. It could be used to start another FP company, inject hundreds of Korean dollars into their economy, or if we managed to reach our goals by then, a quick way to get Korean money in the hands of the incoming Lithuanians.

[Scientist2]

I will put that in code tags in the OP.

Good job writing that :)

[Holy Altnir]

I support the dollar-a-day plan, it's really usefull.
Already using it.

[Scientist2]

Does anyone know how i can hide the guide in my op so people can open it themselves?

Together with the rest of the op it's a huge unapealling wall of text.

Why the hell did you tell us Lithuania in the first place? Over half our population has to wait before they can even become a citizen.

I could be our ambassador or our Minister of Finances, I have quite a lot of experience with spreadsheets and accounting so it should be no problem for me.

And by the way, I signed up as timmyvos in South-Holland, I just randomly picked something and I'm preparing to move to South Korea.

Yeah, good idea with the Dollar-a-Day plan, I'm going to start using it tomorrow.

Also, what is the plan once the main Korean continent is liberated? Because at this rate, they're recapturing it pretty fast. And once we get in there in 30 days I'm sure we'll capture it in no time.

Well, theres still the matter of their economy. Having the land is nice but no one wants to live there.
But once we finish that I'm sure there'll be other minor countries that'll take its place. A lot can happen in 30 days.

Sounds fucking great.


I don't know if anyone remembers me, I was one of the main organisers of the eSK movement when it began along with my buddy monkey11.

The history of facepunch goes back a long way in erepublik actually, and I have been involved in the most of the main movements dating back to when we first liberated eGermany from the tyrannical clutches of Sweden. My character name was Abdul'Allah Kazim Zyrgazi.

In the beginning of the eSK movement I made a company called the Islamic Grain Company(a company name facepunch has used since our start on erep) where we had like 125 or so facepunchers working for almost slave wages but consequently got free food and we flooded our obscenely cheap food onto the eSK market driving the price of everything spiraling down to next to nothing, which was actually very good for the economy haha. Good times! We built up a massive sum of gold from company profits and from facepuncher referral gold but then our president to be(monkey11) was assassinated on the eve of his presidency by the foul goons.



If anyone wants to know about some of facepunchs history in erepublik feel free to ask. I don't know anything about this new game however.
