    Could anyone help out a bit? half way to lvl 7
    Accept my friend request, and I'll send you a contract. I only have Q4 Food right now, but I can supplement it with gifts to get you to Lv7 at daychange.

    Edited:

    We should have the Steam group give an event notice every time the day changes. Use it as a friendly reminder so people don't forget. This way the Steam group will serve more of a purpose rather than just being there.

    Steam Group in question: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/FPSK
    Agreed. Make it so.

    I noticed that food prices had crashed, that was your doing?
    I would assume it was, considering I set a sufficient quantity low enough to make people with bigger amounts try and undercut me.

    Check out the Q1 gift market in LTL right now, it was 0.42 yesterday, now its down to 0.39LTL, and it only took 500 Gifts!

    Wasn't Freakie going to be the head of our own little newspaper once we get him into the country?
    We need more than one newspaper silly. In fact once we are on our feet, I encourage everyone to get a newspaper to remain an active part of the community.

    So when all of you guys abroad can switch citizenship are you going to filter over slowly or as fast as you can.

    Thanks, I have a few of our peeps in mind I'll donate this to.

    If you look carefully, the person who started it was Polish , so the majority of Koreans are probably not behind this.

    Immigration plans are still in the works but it will probably take a decent amount of time either way.

    And there is no party that holds any significance to us.

    I was just looking at our members stats, and we have enough levels 7 lithuanians to get us 1 for sure and maybe 2 seats in Lithuanian Congress.

    Us lithuanians will have to wait for citizenship anyways. Shouldn't we get a couple congressmen in ? I believe once you are in congress, you can still change citizenship (if that even makes sense).


    @scientist2, I distributed most of the food to active <7 members.

    If you needed to know who was active or not you could have asked me. I have a whole list of Lithuanians who responded to the pulse check I did, making finding the active ones less of a guessing game. I'll send it over now in case you ever need it.

    Very good. I'll send you batches more oftenly.
    I sell most of the food we produce in Holland. This way i get Dutch money which i can trade in for gold and then convert to South Korean currency which i then use to pay the South Korean Wages. Funneling money into our economy was never this easy.

    and the third response for "e-sim south korea PTO".

    That won't be such a stretch, if we weren't not contacting them.

    AFAIK we are trying to get some men into congress. And if we aren't, we should.

    I still see our way in through negotiation, such as the draft monkey mentioned earlier. We should try to get ourselves more acquainted with the functions of government first as congressman do more than just allow people in. I say we organize to convince the government, something that is already underway, and treat them as an ally, not an obstacle. The only thing we need is for the rest of us willing to help to get in. After that, there's not much else the government can do for us, rendering us having congressmen of our own uneccesary. The situation will become purely economical as we continue work on the Korean economy.

    In the end we may have numerical superiority, thus slowly we could take over if we wanted too, but that isn't the point of our mission. The point is to rise Korea to the heights of glory as much as we can and that entails uniting with the current Koreans in order to achieve that because united we are strong.

    Thanks for the list, but I used the food for SKers first (I based it on an XP/day higher than 20, meaning they are training+working+fighting every day.) I still have some left but I'm busy IRL today so I won't have time till later to distribute it.

    in the end? We currently make up 24% of their voters. In a few days the level 6's will level and that number will rise to almost 36%. I agree we should be as peaceful as possible, but if our membership keeps increasing, eventually it will become a predominately FP country. I'm not saying that justifies taking over, and I'm not saying we should. However, if it turns out that the Korean Gov't is full of a Military Unit just using Korea for their own personal little club, and do not wish for Korea to achieve GLORY , then I see no need to take them into consideration, as they have no ability to stop us (once we have majority of congress, we can always let more of our people in then they can of theirs, thereby always ensuring our dominance).

    An effective peaceful negotiation could perhaps be made around this fact. If we show that we could take over without them stopping us, but will not do so unless they force us to, perhaps they'll see our intentions are peaceful. On the other hand, giving them an ultimatum before congress such as 'Agree to let us in or we will run in congress and win against you' may prompt them to feel threatened, prompting them to lie to us saying they will, then allowing more of their friends into the country only so that they stand a better chance. So I'm not sure if we should show our full hand or not.

    and Hidole, you can probably take me off or put me on the bottom of that list. I'm happy in LTL until all our other members are through because their market trades in high volumes and as an LTL'er I don't pay import tax (it would cripple my sales otherwise). I can always join a bit later after I've made mad $$$.

    I highly doubt that the MU is using Korea. Almost every country in the game has members in a military unit in power. That doesn't mean they rule with an iron fist. If they did, there would be plenty of Newspapers in protest as they are easy to make and produce. From my perspective, they want Korea to prosper, but they are well aware of their country's relative weakness and must have used every diplomatic trick in the book to get back those regions and avoid complete annihilation. Their allies are few and weak so there is no possibility they got them back through military might alone.

    Showing any signs of relative threat is a bad idea. Pointing out that we could easily take over but choose not to sounds just like an argument an Indonesian or Russian would make. To tie a dagger over their heads would make things worse. It's better to show that we are sincere in our desire to only help Korea.

    I hear you, and understand that argument, and I won't say I disagree either. Of course it can be worded politely enough to not imply a threat: 'We have lithuanians eager to help, and South Koreans already ready to fight, all to help further our mutual cause of a greater and stronger Korea, help us to help you in this endeavor. We wish to achieve this through cooperation instead of contempt, what say you?'

    I'm saying one of the end-games in this negotiation involves a direct ultimatum, so that it doesn't come to that , until then lets use all the flowery jargon we possibly can

    He is not that active, so he doesn't mind giving away food\gifts.

    If he already wants to give, then we won't refuse it. At the same time, and this may just be my pride talking, we shouldn't ask people who aren't already prepared to give for donations. It sounds like begging to me.

    Like I said, he prefers eRepublik, so he doesn't mind helping. He wants to help the cause without taking an active part. Maybe this can be part of the plan tegken has, but for the less-wealthy people.

    Hidole, we should because it will at least ensure that we can start letting people in soon. If not, we have to wait at least 30 days until we get another chance at congress.

    If you have perfect faith in their lack of paranoia, enjoy yourself, but I don't. I do not think we (FP) can keep interest in this game until we have finally pryed a hole to pour friendship in in their minds.

    Of course, the two methods aren't mutually exclusive, we can use both.

I can always join a bit later after I've made mad $$$.

    I forgot to include an addendum excluding cooperation if they are simply not willing to respond to us at all. But for now our modus operandi is peace because we may have 100 people and be able to kick them out politically, but with them we would have 150 people and be on a stronger road to glory with more people rather than less.

    When Facepunch last entered South Korea in Erepublik we united together with many of the existing South Koreans and our nation became stronger from that and we gained many friendships that enabled us to do far better than if we had just created another power regime. I'd like to achieve something similar here.

    On the flipside, we need to secure an arrangement before any of our compatriots start losing interest.

    What you call paranoia I call rational fear and I am fully aware of it. Here is the problem: For the time being, until we convince them to let our people in, the country is on lockdown to foreigners. If the new congress rolls in and one of them sees a rogue congressman (our man) letting people into the country, then their fears will only be exacerbated, causing the Koreans to hate us. The opposite of what we want. My method circumvents their paranoia and presents us in a manner that shows just what we want to do: Help Korea.
