Leaders of New Era, What Were You Saying?

Day 1,986, 13:54 • Published in United Kingdom Norway

• by Major Lee Hung

Good evening folks and folkettes.

I come to you with a short article, just another example of why One Vision and many others no longer want to work with New Era.

Background

DeathByKittens joined my eUK Apprenticeship Scheme yesterday. We exchanged some messages as I try to teach him/her about the game. They are geniunely a nice person, and excited about progressing within the eUK; particularly in politics, which they showed enthusiasm for.

I logged on this morning to find them in New Era; so I'm assuming their 300 'JOIN US' messages succeeded - initially. I figured I'd just let them choose their own party from within New Era, as somebody with that much enthusiasm for politics and progressing further is unlikely to stay with a bunch of keyboard warriors.

And Then...

So taking in to account the above - should this really be the way somebody is treated when they make an actual decision on what party to join?

When it's a new person who joined our community not even 24 hours ago, or anybody for that matter, they shouldn't be subject for this just because they found a party with friends and representations of their views.

New Era's Boy's Club, it's time you grew up.

Members of New Era, you vote these people to represent you. Is this really what you want?

Also, consider this a warning when trying to reverse the community's attempts at increasing retention rates for the sake of growing your party and ePeen.

I'll stick with all new players until the end as they don't deserve treatment like this.

Sven Goran Duran-Duran Day 1,987, 05:24

What treatment? The citizen joined UKRP, so we banned the citizen from our channel. We consider the UKRP a sniping threat and are known for spying on IRC channels - I've banned a few myself recently. Josh, I sense the butthurt is strong with you. After your great work in failing to get WRP into the top 5, you now seem to have One Vision in your sights... your chums at TUP might just let you be a Minister one day.... one day...

You write a lot about New Era but seem to know very little about us. Why are you so obsessed with us? It's quite flattering really.

Our record with new players speaks for itself. I am sorry new members continue to choose our party in droves despite your hate-filled articles. I wish you luck in your quest to take OV to the heady heights that you didn't quite succeed with over at WRP. Maybe you'll get a congressman one day.... one day...

GameChanger Day 1,987, 06:07

I think your policy of banning UKRP players is a tad shitty, tbqh. If they troll or whatever, fine. But you shouldn't ban people just because they are in a different party. I have constructive talks on #newera fairly often. We don't ban New Era players from #ukrp unless they start trolling us

Thedark ace Day 1,987, 08:48

"Our record with new players speaks for itself."

You can say that again XD

Rfeist Day 1,988, 08:23

offers of tanks have nothing to do with it....

Sven Goran Duran-Duran Day 1,988, 08:29

It's an IRC ban. Go figure? It's not like my MU helped PTO a major political party and turn it into an Irish themed bar - is it? That we continue to retain our membership whilst attracting more and more new players is evidence of our record.

Orinocco Day 1,988, 08:54

they dont choose, they get bought.

WayneKerr Day 1,988, 13:24

DC didn't PTO any party... We have between about 10 players from UKPP in Dental Corps, yet mwc got over 30 votes... It's more that UKPP PTO'd itself rather than any external help..

Sven Goran Duran-Duran Day 1,987, 06:10

hello gamechanger. Thank you for your reply. As I said above, "we consider the UKRP a sniping threat and are known for spying on [our] IRC channels". This is the reason for the ban - not simply because they are UKRP

Betafoxtrot Day 1,988, 02:42

Why yes, yes you are banning them because they're UKRP then.

GameChanger Day 1,988, 10:42

But that's banning them because they are UKRP.

Also, you have a private channel I assume. Secret crap belongs there, not in pub channels.

You ought to evaluate players on a case by case basis, and not just tar them with the same brush because of their party.

Ok I`m one of the guys that was in both parties, both UKRP and NEW ERA. I am currently a congressman and an important figure in my party. I can say that if you are acusing the behaviour of a few New Era individuals, and you jump to conclusion and generalize it for the all party, then this is your limit. I got friends both in NewEra and UKRP, and just had a great night last night, but don`t jump to conclusions and label a whole great party just because of some individuals (I don`t even judge if they were right or wrong, i just underline that your method of thinking is WRONG)
Find me somebody who can say a bad thing about me. I dare you.

Don`t generalize. I don`t care if my new era mates were right or wrong. You should not put a label on us. WHO ARE YOU TO DO THAT?

Thedark ace Day 1,988, 10:31

In response, NE are labelling UKRP as people who are always "sniping"

The main point is that an entire IRC channel turned on this guy, most people acknowledge that 90% of NE are fine. But these people aren't active enough, they aren't the ones in the spotlight, so you (and those who are "good") have just got to be more vocal 😁

Tangbod Day 1,988, 12:20

but was that not the same as the treatment we recieved in 1V by your own members as tarnishing us as fools because we cut our ties with NE due to attempting poaching of our members. I find it interesting that it appears to be a sort of 'do as we say not as we do mentality' that seems to pervade not just yourselves, but other parties aswell and most of it seems to be driven, in general, by personal hatred/dislike. Maybe i'm too naive and have still to cut my teeth in the harsh world of epolotics.

Sir Winston S Churchill Day 1,989, 07:03

Deathbykittens banned for multi account you bunch of cheat !

GameChanger Day 1,986, 13:59

Deathbykittens, if you're reading this, welcome to UKRP!

DeathByKittens Day 1,986, 14:06

Thank you kindly 🙂 I much prefer it here, the decor is refreshing.

Mr Woldy Day 1,988, 03:21

don't let the haters put you down

Elle Roslin Day 1,988, 06:17

Sorry you had a run in with the local thugs

Danie Fox Day 1,988, 11:12

I've not seen 18 votes on a comment in the UK before, you're obviously quite popular!

WayneKerr Day 1,986, 14:06

3 times done...

BigAnt Day 1,986, 14:05

UKRP have for the record been banned from #NewEra at the request of many of our members.

reason @ Sniping members

LongShotzZ Day 1,986, 14:16

I call BS on that!

Thedark ace Day 1,986, 14:22

Evidently DeathByKittens here was banned because he was sniping too

Angela Williams Day 1,986, 14:45

I didn't know who Kittens was, at the time I was being accused of sniping them.

Oddinary Day 1,986, 14:55

You know Screw you BA, I have been nothing but nice to you guys, and you ban me with no explanation. NE has become what may be the worst parties every in my time in eRep which has been a long time. Cut the crap, grow up and get your heads out of your collective asses.

Mr Woldy Day 1,988, 03:22

I was banned without going in the channel o/

Sven Goran Duran-Duran Day 1,987, 05:25

BA tells the truth. UKRP are banned for sniping and spying.

BigAnt Day 1,987, 05:31

All propaganda now we are top mate, jealousy looks bad on them xD

NT Games Day 1,988, 09:31

Yes BigAnt but I think we should calm ourselves and just ignore this sort of promotion of a bad image of our party. If we answer to them, we just put gas on fire. It`s really useless

NT Games Day 1,988, 09:28

Guys just to be LOUD AND CLEAR: it is an IRC channel. It is the right of the owner and of the people with access to decide who stays or who doesn`t stay in their OWN CHANNEL. We reserve this right for us. If you don`t like it feel free to part channel. If we don`t like it, you will get banned.
That`s just a lame accusation, childish behaviour. I don`t want to say anything bad about UKRP cause to be honest I don`t have a thing against them (this is my personal opinion, congressman and party member of NewEra, it is my own opinion, not my party`s)

Thedark ace Day 1,988, 10:34

Just saying again, whilst NE reserve the right to do what they want with their IRC channel, they should then be held to how they act with this right. If you think that acting the way ant did is fine, then there should be no problem in this being presented, right?
