Admins still being themselves
Pfeiffer.
Deep in the bowels of the TOP SECRET eUS Presidential Briefings on the eUS forums, someone who shall remain nameless...but totally spends way too much cash on this game...posted something that reminded me why I don't talk to any of the remaining wigs (the ones I got along with all left eRep Labs, good for them).
What did they post? Usually I couldn't tell you, but in the tradition of #1 leaker, smee (don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like smee?), publisher of smeekileaks courtesy of The Burgundy Files, I bring to you a TOTALLY TOP SECRET post from said briefing:
For those who, like me, didn't understand both acronyms right off the bat:
PP = Power Pack
IK = Infrantry Kit
As we all know, more spending on eRep = better "customer service". It makes sense that if you've spent some money on the game your tickets might filter to the top a bit more quickly, that's how you make those people keep spending. However, it seems like granting your biggest spenders the ability to continue to buy promotional and time sensitive items after the promotional period ends is incredibly disingenuous. I've heard tales about getting better deals on gold for buying above the amount listed on the Gold & Extras page, and that too makes sense...this doesn't.
This person is clearly purchasing more than one of each sort of 'pack', which implies that he's doing so for other people (possibly at a profit in currency and/or gold). This gives those people, especially those in lower divisions, a rather significant advantage over other players...even over other people who are spending money on the game. We already have a pay-to-win war module, so I shouldn't be surprised, but this annoyed me so I decided to write this article. I expect it to be taken down soon, so I'm saving the text to republish and/or allow others to publish as well. If you want it, drop me a message.
Oh, and for those who might try to yell about me 'leaking', I got permission.
What a sweet guy, right?
snoochie boochies,

anyway, the 'guy' can't be anyone else but the Whale
It's not that one.
WAT
If you will send me 10g, you will can claim your prizes.
*be able to
All ur base r belong to us?
The game is dead already, Plato is just squeezing out as much money as he can now. It's a brilliant idea really, make someone feel special by granting them the right to waste even more money.
Karma +27/-41. It shouldn't be too hard for any eForums member to identify the uberVisa.
Karma has been modified to protect the whales.
oh pfeiffer, you're just the best
That's true.
You clearly added that in the "original" screenshot. The text is just slightly off the left margin and a tad larger too.
SHUT UP, WOMAN
cheapest gold -> multi-gold
Will be deleted soon.
old news, you never tried it with the packs? 😐
"hi puton I missed the sale, gib pack"
"okeh buy 10eur goldz pack, we will activate it"
"thanks dear"
..
I got one after a deadline because it wouldn't process payment in...2012? Was a long time ago, and took two e-mail chains.
Fact is, there's a difference between missing out for a reason and simply wanting to keep buying multiple packs after the fact.
what did you expect... it's a shame because this used to be a really good game before all the changes and whaling permissions.

It's Oblige, I bet it's Oblige, tell me it's Oblige. Oblige, buy me things
It's not Oblige.
I know who... It is....
Pfeiffer slapped me so I cant say anything.
America's gossip queen.
You miss me and you know it!
So Pfeiffer partakes in abuse? That's comforting.
hurdur
FIST
It's because I had payment issues, which were eRep's/3rd parties' fault, the other days and wasn't able to purchase anything then.
Providing context.
The implication that you were buying more than one of each makes your context (true or not) irrelevant.
How many hundreds of dollars have you spent on eRepublik?
Or is it in the thousands?
I honestly don't know, I spent fairly freely during the Ultramarine days, as I never let any of our people go without something they needed. Aside from that spending and paying for the additional storage feature in v1, I have spent very little. People who joined in the good old days could actually turn decent profits with companies, and for years I ran Orgs with many profitable companies. I was never HR or Jewitt rich, but I didn't need to spend money to build anything.
So now all you need is the Dictator's permission and you too can reveal 'Totally Top Secret' posts.
So you won't mind when I get permission to reveal 'Private Congressional Proceedings' post in Public?
If you get permission from the Speaker of the House, go ahead.
Yes. Stop being such a constant Rick.
I think we should remove his access, that sounded like a threat to national security.
It's makes me shudder to think how much some people spend. It's wasn't so bad when there was an ROI, but today the only ROI I can see is in the mechanics (badges) and that was always a tad pathetic. V1 was clunky.....but the meta was a real strategy game.
Henry is right to blow his wad on this one. The wigs have lost their marbles. Anyone who has (sadly) spent money on this game should be frustrated at an imbalanced playing field. At the very least, there should be consistency of reward amongst the game-crack-whores.

How is this TOP SECRET or LEAKED, when he posted on the forums that everyone can access and he shouted to this feed or whatever you wanna cal it.
Anyway, great article. Not surprised the admins just want *our* money. After 3 days I can't do a damn thing without some sort of limitation. So I'm just gonna work+train (increase strength) hang around with you guys and that's it 🙂

The post was on an access restricted board, and he never spoke about it publicly until after I published. Check your info.
Pretty sure I'd been shouting about it.
Check your info.
Been a Diamond customer for a looooooong time.
When I send ticket it is "Emergency Response" or some such handling. After I PM twice in ticket the response is, "We're sorry but... Your input is very important to us, please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Regards...". I don't think Plato likes me. 😃
Haxors!
Would be better if better sourced.
