Editor’s Notes:
Today's title and top pic are inspired by a segment in Gnilraps' recent article, Plato's Most Epic Fail.
And, if you didn't see it, here's my last article, from just a couple days ago.


Team Players and Loners and Whales
(did you click to listen to the YouTube video?)

::: Team Players



You know who you are.
You're in a Top 5 Party. You have an important job there.
You're in a big Military Unit, maybe even the Official National MU. You tank like friggin' Patton. Maybe you run a Commune, or help your Quartermaster out.
You're a Congressman. You have a Cabinet job. You're all over the eUSForums.
You're important-- and you really are, don't think I'm screwing with you.
You're a team player because you're active and you contribute time and energy to the community of players. Good on you. Seriously.

::: Loners



You know who you are, too.
Sure, you're in a political Party, but it doesn't matter much whether it's a Top 5 or a lower ranked independent Party because you're just.. there, whatever.
And you're in an MU, but you're not really into all that IRC and Forums jazz.. you just want to do your Daily Order (for that pointless Bazooka, but whatever).
Maybe you pick up a Battle Hero award now and then, if you get lucky. Or maybe you're a baller and do some serious BH hunting, but it's a personal challenge.
You read some articles, vote your Party line unless a friend talks you into voting for them, and anxiously await that do-or-die all-out war that would really rock this bitch, but it never comes.
Loners be like, "you play your game, I'll play mine."

::: Whales



What's not to love about a Whale?
Whales spend real world money to play the best eRepublik money can buy.
They're the ones paying to keep the servers up (oh, wait..) and the crack team of programmers (okay, not so much) and fantastic graphics artists (really? really?!) all working hard (think "support ticket wait time") to give the rest of us freeloaders a game to play at all. Because whatever would we do without eRepublik??!!
Whales pay for the eUS Forums (oh, boy!) and eNPR (huh?).
Whales tip the wall and win battles single-handedly. Single flippered-ly.
Whales support entire armies, run communes and provide supplies out of their own pockets.
Whales crap the money needed for Combat Orders and Arm America when there's a hugely important battle to be won.
America wins when Whales crap.


And Then There's Old Fu-ks

Yeah, we have a political Party.
Hell, we even got us a Military Unit.
But do we give a fu-k? Perhaps an illustration would help.



Maybe I haven't expressed myself clearly.
The question is, "Do Old Fu-ks give a fu-k?"



Okay.. that's not exactly true.
Every couple months we get Jason the Great into Congress, and he does give a fu-k.
Some of our members still maintain ties to their old Party, and they go back now and then to do some work or vote in Primaries. They give a fu-k.
We're proud to have among us a few seriously heavy hitters. They give a fu-k.
We run the OhFU SCAM now and again, helping some returning player pull it together and be motivated to stay and be active. The most recent case cost upwards of 120 gold, about half of that my own funds. I give a fu-k.

So when we say "Old Fu-ks just don't give a fu-k" it's mostly for shits and giggles.
It sounds cool.
Get off my lawn.

While some Old Fu-ks are more active, most are classic 2-clickers. For the most part, we've been around a long time. We've seen 'em come and we've seen 'em go, and not much impresses us anymore.
We log in, click, and log out.



There's all kinds of reasons you might be jaded and want to withdraw from the game a bit.. but not necessarily quit this miserable game.
Maybe your joining the OhFU will be a way of sending a message that you're not a just a body to be counted, a number propping up some tired old Top 5 Party that doesn't mean anything anymore.
Maybe you're quite well set, you self supply and know for yourself when and where and how much you want to do your battle clicks.
Maybe you've worked hard for your Party, or even for your President(s), and you're ready for some down time.
Or maybe you just don't give a fu-k anymore.. for reals. Game fu-king over.

The Old Fu-ks United Party offers nothing but a quiet place to play this miserable game any way you like, without peer pressure to get on IRC and Forums or be any more or less involved than you damn well please.
