It's Gotta Be EZC

We’re All Mad Here (Mandatory listening)
Day 2776 of the New World
June 27, 2015



WARNING: What you are about to read is 100% pure Easy Company propaganda. My goal is to make you so jealous of EZC awesomeness that you are compelled to flee from whatever MU you might currently be serving and flock to our ranks.

EZC is expanding once more.





PERSONAL NOTE FROM GNILRAPS
When I designed our current commune system which has been so flatteringly emulated elsewhere, I designed something that would be easily scalable. “Scalable?” you say??? Yes. What I mean is that our system is designed in such a way that our members enjoy great benefits without making it necessary for our leadership to keep sinking Gold into keeping things running. And so even though all of our membership receives a free house each week, a very decent wage with unlimited overtime pay, 50% discount on all Q7 weapons, and many other benefits, we are able to keep this running without any additional Gold investment. Why is this important? It means that EZC is committed to being this good for the long haul. We will not poop out because we lose interest in spending RL cash on running an MU (anyone remember PG?). This is why our people join and stay. And that is why I believe our community of eReppers is the best community in eRep.

And so all of this to say that we can grow. We want to grow. And that more members will not mean fewer resources per member. So BRING IT ON.







OK, so I’ve polled a bunch of our people to find out what it is about Easy Company that makes them so glad to be a part of what we do. I’ve done very little filtering here. If you are in a Military Unit that shares some of these characteristics, please don’t feel like this is an attack against you. This is simply reflective of the pride our members feel about being so damned good. Note: I have edited (sometimes heavily) the responses for grammar and readability.

Question: What’s there to love about Easy Company?

Answers:

1 - I love it that we are not required to fill in forms or check in via IRC in order to qualify for our weekly income. My salary simply appears in my alerts every Sunday like clockwork. I’ve been here longer than most and there has not been a single week when my salary drop has been late.

2 - I run a lot of houses, all 5 at once. Before EZC started its commune, it was not always possible to find an employer who would let me work the maximum number of overtimes, so I had a lot of OT saved up. When I came to EZC, I started working as much as possible. I almost expected them to complain and give me sh*t about how much cash I was making. Instead, they simply paid me for every work click I logged. This MU is awesome.

3 - Perhaps it’s because our leaders are such big fans of playing eRepublik, I don’t know. But they always seem to have an EZC contest right when I want something new to keep me interested. They always respond to what Plato is doing in game by developing an EZC thing to coincide with it. I feel like EZC is so perfectly in tune with the eRepublik I play that I can’t imagine enjoying this game as much without EZC. I’m EZC forever.

4 - When I was in {edit: my previous MU} everyone kept talking about the community, but there actually wasn’t much of one. It was all talk. In EZC it isn’t all talk. Our Forum is fun, our chat wall in eRepublik is 10x more active than my last MU, and my mates actually converse with me in ingame PM conversations. I feel like EZC membership actually means something.

5 - When they introduced EZA, I thought maybe it wouldn’t last. How can they keep paying me above market wage plus give me 50% discount? But they do it. And also the runners {edit: we call our tank suppliers “tank runners”} are incredibly fast. I have never ever run out of tanks ever. Whatever Deepchill and his crew are up to, it is incredible.

6 - As someone who hails from one of the more “alternative” political parties in eUSA, I can honestly say that the EZC climate is absolutely diverse in the best possible way. I know for a fact that my fellow members vote differently than I do, and nobody in EZC ever cares about that. Our leaders seem to have committed to the concept of a completely non-Political Military Unit, and rather than use that as a marketing tool to their political advantage, they actually live it. I have not felt this much respect from any other eRepublik “community”.

7 - 50% discount on tanks. What can I say? Not only do they pay me more than the job market, but I get my tanks at half off. I can guarantee you that I would not be where I am without EZC.

8 - For me, the best thing about EZC is the fact that I absolutely know that EZC is loyal to the USA and whatever battle priorities the congress and president decide on. I don’t always think that other Military Units are willing to fight hard regardless of where except for USAF. I feel like we are the true brothers of USAF in that we are always side by side with them. I am not a real life USA citizen, I am RL {edited}. When USA declared its war against {edit: my RL home country}, I hit it hard. Why? I am sorry my {RL} brothers, but I hit it hard because I am EZC first and always in this game. I am a citizen of eUSA and I know that EZC is eUSA.

9 - I know I am one of the big tanks in EZC. The fact is, they make it possible for me to do it. But I never feel like they own me. Because they pay me and I buy the tanks at a discount, I still feel like I am in control of my account and my destiny. I choose to be EZC, I’m not simply stuck here because they are throwing tanks at me.

10 - I respect EZC because EZC respects me.

11 - I have no idea how long EZC has been around, but I feel like they must be the oldest MU in the game. I feel like I am part of history because I wear this uniform. I feel like the EZC uniform is instant respect.

12 - I don’t know if you want me to say this, but the thing I appreciated the most is that when I wanted to leave EZC to help my RL country in a Dictatorship battle, you were like, “no problem, see you when you return”. Thanks for being the best bunch of people in this game.





I’ve skipped the responses that mention particular individuals in leadership because I don’t want this to be an ego stroke article. I want you to read this and get the picture that no matter how great you might think it is in EZC, it’s actually at least that great and probably better.

So.

Before I get to the part where I mention that if you join within the next 10 minutes I’ll throw in this awesome set of steak knives…

Let me just invite you to give us a try.

If eRepublik has seemed… dry lately.
If Plato has given you the blues.
If your MU is anything less than what you wish an MU could be.
or just because…

And make your eRepublik experience all it can be.

And as a post script: that badass ezc image you see at the top of this article? One of our members just made it and posted it in our chat thread because… well because he just wanted to. I love it when stuff like that happens.
