[UKRP] Still About Reform!
Fataliix
What's in a name? If you looked for an answer in our political parties, you might come to the conclusion "absolutely bugger all". Names meant something at one point, but eRepublik has been so heavily diluted that on political matters every party is merely a copy of a copy, and with good reason; Congress almost always have only one correct choice, and any party going against this (hello UKPP) would be detrimental to the country.
So how can I still claim we're for reform when there's no reform to be made?
Simply put, we're filled with players that want to reform the way this game is played. It's no secret that everyone is fed up with the state of eRepublik, but in UKRP I see a group of people that are still trying to make some fun out of this.
Need more proof? Look at the garbage we spew. It's absolutely glorious. We even cultivate the newbs instead of sentencing them to death like certain other parties. And that's just in the first few days, our trash output has doubled since then - not to mention we've been doing this for months.
When was the last time you questioned why you're a member of your party?
In a time when TUP are boring as ever, but oddly silent about it (no complaints), UKPP grind up and spit new players out as Congressmen (or dead) without giving them any advice on what to actually do and PCP just seem content with still being here, why wouldn't you be a member of the party that's having fun and inviting you to join in? We're reforming the way we play, and we're gonna have fun even if we're alone.
Nothing against WRP. You guys are pretty cool.
UKRP members! Do you want free gold?
I have too much money!
Would you like to take 50 gold and maybe some other stuff away from me?
Over this first month of my eternal rule, I'll be awarding points to articles related to UKRP based on how totally ridiculous they are. Always wanted to write a sonnet about Wook's feet and relate it UKRP? Now's your big chance!
Scores from your articles will be tallied up.
There'll be runner-up prizes, and the usual reward for articles still stands, but you're going to need to get real silly if you want to take home the gold. Have fun, Gali!
Fataliix,

almost there... still pussy though
My feet are definitely sonnet worthy.
You guys in the UKRP are pretty cool too, Fataliix
I'll be in the Mariana trench by the end of the month, not just the deep end!
Ctrl+F "UKPP"...oh, now to read the article.
So, you want to reform the way this game is played...how exactly? 🙂
he cant.
Lol hi Frag.
Hey now Pannonian, I didn't only insult UKPP. 😛 Like I said in the article - this is an awful, broken game with a fantastic community. For a long time now everyone has been resigned to just hating the game and given up on actually having any fun with it. We all just hang out and complain until someone leaves, or an oldfag comes back and tells us it's all our fault.
In the UKRP we've decided screw that. If we're going to keep playing this thing we're going to have whatever fun we can, and we've been doing that for a while now in our own community. It's silly, a lot of it is nonsense, but we're active and enjoying it. Now it's spilling over into the rest of the game & I think we'd like to see everyone doing it. Serfdom has been a great example of the stupid fun we can have.
Now realistically, we can't expect everyone to do this. Some people seem totally obsessed with keeping this game srs business, even if they hate it that way. It's probably clear that I'm talking about TUP here. Despite that, I think we could get the rest of the UK actually having fun, and yes, that does include mud-slinging and arguing. What the hell is the point in politics if we're not fighting? 😉
Well, it's not my job to worry about TUP 😃
I actually can't disagree with you here...and I even like it when you mention UKPP, you took the words right out of my mouth: "What the hell is the point in politics if we're not fighting?" 🙂
I almost forgot...vote for UKPP tomorrow!
Nah.
Think about it again.
yay
I wish that *I* could be burdened with the weight of having too much GOLD.
I have NEVER been in this situation..... But can dream........
