I want to complain :p. According to a pm I received from Jery:

28 points.

which doesn't fit with screened results. Or is there a 10 points malus? :p

Yeha you're right. It was an attempt to give you a 10 point malus because of making a team with Procuste. But the fairness obliges us to give you back your 28 points. As soon as Elynea's punishment will be over, it's gonna be rectified on the scroll.
Sorry about that, too many things to watch for.

Anyway, if you've got any complain (or question), do never hesitate to send me a private message. Even pirates make mistakes. We just don't do it as often as normal people.

Hey Jery you lame pirate : The Arena - Page 3 257687

I have no idea what's going on here, but it looks kinda cool. Is it too late to join?

Also, who exactly is in the citizen's team? I would conciser aligning with my former party, but it doesn't really look like they need my help (and besides, I only really joined in the first place because mitte asked me to Razz

).

by **Jofroi** 2011-08-14, 07:12

Well medrolke you can help whoever you want Wink

. Only the "leader" of the team can submit results, but u're free to help.

by Monsieur Guillotine 2011-08-14, 07:27

help me medrolke! im all alone Sad

by **Jery** 2011-08-14, 10:16

Hey Meldroke. As you dont have any political activity, it would be logical that you contact jamster373 to join the "Citizen" team. Furthermore he needs help, he's also alone (I think).

Now, if you really want to join another one (such as Monsieur Guillotine for example), I will not make a scandal. It would be less logical, but at the end it's just a game.

---

Monsieur Guillotine : it's the whole purpose of the game, if there's nobody in your party that is willing to help you a little bit, you party can't make a good score here. Motivation, organization, team spirit,... You need to push them. That's what it's all about. It's a pity that so many active people in your party don't help you : where are Fhaemita, Djole, Goopypants, Konrad, Prophexy, ... ?

And by the way, I'm not sure but I think that DemetriusA is also a bit alone.

But don't worry, even alone, you may come back with the next test !

Then you can join a team who needs help Smile

But it's a game before all and thanks for the participation.

Of course, sorry that i seemed to take it too serious - but the Wink

another opportunity to show the superiority of my team Wink

by **djony** 2011-08-15, 19:50

Xironn and i didn't want to make too much points to leave you some chances to win... Wink

by **Jery** 2011-08-15, 20:30

The fighters had all survived to the first test. Some better than others. They were glad to get some rest.

But now, it was time to go on...

After having showed their knowledge about the outside world, political parties must prove now their love towards their own homeland, and they have to be convincing !

You have to write a text on this theme :

On eRepublik, eBelgium is our favorite country, and we recommend it.
Explain why and argue just as if you were trying to convince a citizen from another eCountry.

Rules (please read very carefully) :
Only the five delegates (DemetriusA, NLSP, xironn, Monsieur Guillotine, Jofroi, jamster737) are allowed to send the text to Jery by private message.
For each team, only the first text sent will be taken into account, no addition will be accepted. So do not hurry !
You have until Saturday 8 p.m. (Brussels time) at the latest to send your text.
Points' attribution :
10 points for each team sending a text
+ 10 points for most original/creative text
+ 20 points for most convincing text
The texts must be written in english (and only in english) !
Jery and Elynea are the only judges
After the test, the texts will be posted by us on this topic

On second thought, I might wait until the next test...

(unless jamster really draws a blank, then I might give it a shot)

Edit:
How long should they be BTW?

Medrolke 2 wrote:How long should they be BTW?

We taught about that, but finally we just decided to let the creativity of the people decide. It's a matter of feelings. A short text can be well-done. A long one as well. But if the text gives a feeling of being "too short" or "too long" while reading it, that's not good. Difficult to tell, matter of feelings. So it's up to you to estimate that.
In other words : the length of the text is totally free, but it can have an influence on the judges' choice.

Accepted !

After having a short discussion with Elynea, we accept to delay the deadline up to Saturday 8.00 p.m. I edit my previous post.

by **Jofroi** 2011-08-16, 19:39

Thanks a lot^^

by **Jery** 2011-08-17, 11:06

- Interlude -

Elynea and Jery were taking some rest while the participants were working on the second test. No one had already given back its text, probably too busy by perfectioning it.

To pass the time, the two pirates took advantage of the sun and of the local food. And when they had enough watching fries cooking into boiling oil, they retired into their private tent. He laid down, face to the ground, and she sat on his butt, starting a massage of his back. After a while, he felt asleep filled with a sense of well-being. Then she laid down on him and joigned his nap.

That's how they were passing the time, waiting for the texts...

i'm not really feeling good about this part of the test. It's way too political to be a game. If any of the other BfB members would like to write a story, go ahead, send it to me and i will submit it.

24 hours!? What? It's only... holy s**t, it's Friday today isn't it?

And yeah, I was gonna give it a go yesterday, but I didn't get time (overslept and did some celebrating-ish stuff for my brother's A-level results).

It's not that I'm lazy or anything, but can I just use one of my old articles instead?

by **Jofroi** 2011-08-20, 07:26

There are no rules about what to use. You'll just have a 0 in the originality part :p.

It was reasonably original when I first wrote it... and that was 7 months ago, so we can hope that Elynea doesn't remember it.

Time is up !

We'll try to show you the texts and give you the results tomorrow evening.
