Join the new world

It's way too early in the morning when I slip into my heels and face the dreadful pavements of London. The streets are filled with people, celebrating the recent liberation from the French. I witness how the owner of a bakery is dragged into Leicester Square for public shaming, after he was found selling 'baguettes' and 'croissants'. I decide against ordering my usual cabernet sauvignon later on.

We meet in the lobby of the Savoy. I can't tell whether he is just out of bed or hasn't seen his bed at all. I decide not to ask. Sir Jimmy Savile...I brought my mace for this interview, just in case he tries to slip his hand under my skirt.

Sir Jimmy Savile, thank you for meeting me here. Let's start with getting the elephant out of the room, shall we? The nickname. Why on earth did you ever pick this nickname?

Well, Sir Jimmy Savile is my second erepublik name and I got this name by letting the eUK public decide mey name, Something I wont be doing again anytime soon. My original name was Jhon247 and was a typo from when I first joined the game back in 2010. Here is how I let the public decide my name.

Thank you, and an interesting choice the public has made indeed. I must say, there are quite some rumours about you, made up by that same public, or perhaps cleverly catered by yourself. I'm told you was, or still are, Paulus G's eBunny. How does that work? Do you live in the Playboy mansion?

Oh, I kinda forgot about this one. Once upon a time, in a version of this game long long forgotten, There lived a small bunny called Jhon247. The bunny was being chased through the woods by wolves growling the words "Unity" or "Reform" and sometimes "Communist". The wolves were closing in one the bunny and all hope seemed lost. The rabbit turned around a tree and bumped into a bear having a dump. The bear looked down on the tiny rabbit then looked up at the wolves following. He finished his business and stood over the bunny then let out a loud bark like noise. The wolves ran away in fear!

The bunny thanked the bear and asked for it's name.

"Paulus G" the bear replied

Paulus invited the bunny back to his mansion called Rampant Rabbit. The bunny accepted his offer and what he found was truly amazing. The mansion was filled bunnies and rabbits that wore their finest furs and not much else. If there was a bunny heaven, it was in this bear's house! Overtime Paulus and Jhon grew closer and closer together. Eventually Jhon became Paulus' official pet bunny.

I could go into a lot more detail and includes plot twists and shocking discoveries but then i'd end up writing a book

A book we'd all read, I'm sure.
Again, my sources in the MoHA tell me you are a fan of Die Antwoord. Totally scandalous, of course. Why should I even think of listening to them? If you had to pick one song everyone needed to hear, which song would it be?

Die Antwood really isn't my thing, I admit! I am totally digging this song however.

Very well, let's talk about the game some more. Would you say you are here thanks to the people playing it or despite them?


When I first joined in 2010 I remember the game had a lot more to offer. Country Currencies had different values and could be traded separately. So the whole economic module was a lot more complex. And the politics system was much different. Back then I'd have stayed for the gameplay.

However, now the game has become a lot more simple and to me there's not so much to do. The only thing that is keeping me in the game is my political party and the people who play this game. So to answer your question it would be because of the people.

We all know the shallowness that is the web. I'm even daring to bet you're actually quite a nice and decent man behind that screen. Spoiler it for us, shed some light: who is Sir Jimmy Savile when he's not trying to look down my top?

You noticed me looking. That's embarrassing.
The real life me is a boring one, I spend most my time working or on eRepublik. On weekends I like to spend the time with my friends and a bottle of vodka. I work as a mechanic and I'm level 2 qualified. Once I've done my level 3 I plan to join the army. I can't decide between the Navy or Army though. But you didn't what to know any of that did you

I'm 18 years old, single and if you ask nicely you can have my Skype.

Thank you, Jimmy, and certainly, we all need to have hope.
