Zip Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Anyone interested in developing an online Galt's Gulch? http://www.erepublik.com/en This game looks like it might be able to support a large enough online group. I think it might be an interesting thought experiment as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'm in! Cool. If we get a few more people we should take over one of the unpopulated countries. They are: Thailand South Korea North Korea Belgium Switzerland and Erepublik (some sort of virtual European Union) My preferences are Thailand (location and maritime links) and Switzerland (Strategic central location & defensible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greebo Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Can we create our own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greebo Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Oh I see, I have to pick a region now as I sign up... hmm. Can we move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) Oh I see, I have to pick a region now as I sign up... hmm. Can we move? I don't know. I haven't signed up yet and their website is quite thin on information as to how the game is actually played. I found their Wiki... here are the rules. http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Rules Edited September 2, 2009 by Zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I played that for a while, but the US in that game isn't a very nice place to be. I would like to band together in a small country somewhere Can we decide on one soon so I can move there? Thailand would be fine with me!

Maarten, with none of the rest of us having any points can we basically start a new country? How would that work? Are you a high enough level to do those things? From reading the rules it sounds like you really don't have any freedom until you have gained some points. Is that right or am I misunderstanding something?

Juxtys Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Playing right now. You can even become a president of a country! So yeah, it's good to find a place to settle in together. By the way, my name's Juxtys there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hmm, well, I have a little money but I didnt play for a while so my guy died. I can move there now but I am not sure if there are any industries where we can work.... Let me see, otherwise I might be able to just start something?

Maarten Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Okay, I checked and Thailand apparently merged with Malaysia, which has around 700 citizens right now. I'm not sure if we would make much of a difference there. But we can definitely try, because it seems like a more remote part of the world than most places. I think I'll move there and start building some local currency and stuff If you're new, you basically just save up money until you are high enough level to be allowed to move places. Just make sure to train and work every day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think you can create a resistance group and declare independence in some less inhabited region. I saw places like USA and Russia quite shattered, so it seems there are more states than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juxtys Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I am now in Lithuania Minor(Lithuania) but I am thinking of moving to Svandberg and San Mayen(Norway) I think it's quite possible to take control of that area, since it has only 24 people. Not much resources, but a decent hospital - they heal you then you get injured at war. Another good try is Nunavut - 34 people and much diamonds but no infrastructure I will be in the northern Norway then I have enough xp to start my newspaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
