Winners of Round 1 are up!
Everyone likes to complain about terrible elitism. It's a national pastime.
But what if I told you that you can profit off terrible elitism? Between 25 and 100 gold, just for pointing out terrible elitism?
Now, anyone can do just that. Inspired by Michael Porter's shifting poll on the old forums, I have compiled 32 of America's strongest, sharpest, and most powerful and active elite from all walks of eLife:
Starting today, there will be five rounds of voting to determine the greatest American of our time. ALL AMERICANS can participate in predictions and voting, regardless of age, allegiance, or otherwise, completely free.
During this round only, you can predict the winners of each division, the semifinalists and the grand champion. The person who guesses the ending most accurately wins half of the grand prize.
The grand prize, you ask? 50 gold - up front. But, for every 50 subscriptions this paper gains over the course of the competition, 5 moar gold will be added. The bigger the competition, the bigger the prize. So tell other people!
And the other half, you ask? That's a surprise for now. But it will be awesome, I promise you that.
The goal of this? No, it's not to start infighting. It's to spark competitive spirit, give new players something to aspire to, maybe reveal a little bit of history, and most importantly, provide something that's fun for everyone.
Don't know who someone is? Not sure if you want to participate?
Maybe an informational video with matching runway music would help.
(Passcode for the video: ATE. YouTube was a real pain in the ass about my upload.)
Official brackets here.
Rules and regulations here.
Submit your predictions and votes now!
Good luck everyone!
Until next time,
Master of Ceremonies
Hey, it's better than a standard gold sink: http://erepublik-market.com/

Left out the big economic magnates
@Bristel, yeah, the first one is huge. They'll be a lot smaller after this one though.
@wingfield, I didn't notice how econ-unfriendly I was being until I was filled up. Maybe I'll do a season 2 if this is a success and my credit limit gets extended... 😛😛
emerick vs publius in first round...
You failed to account for 90% of the elitists~
Also:
>Politics sector without HR
There were plenty of people I wanted to include, it's just that nobody would ever do it if they had to make 32 selections (compared to 16) >_<
This is golden
I'm not in the media section?
RAGE
Ahhahha : D
Good idea!
Vote + Sub
Your lack of me disturbs me.
Add Dishmcds, MM2, Eugine Harlot and a bunch of others. Remove, well, lot of those others, this Blank Keating, never heard of him before this article..
Difficult decisions... especially when I haven't heard of some of the listed.
Νοτ νοτed
Misho: We could do a Beta version of this, although most of these newfags won't even know half the contestants.
This is awesome! I'm up against CRoy first round. This is going to be intense.
methinks someone is missing...
>Syrup vs Gulden.
Dammit.
Should have done this as President against President, tbh.
Matched up against Liggy in 1st round? Damn the selection committee. Damn them.
jeez, Dish, quit complaining and sponsor your own competition.
whine
whine whine
also, severe lack of Bastion on here. RIP

Awesome idea Blank 😉
Good luck to all current and former SEALs!
PiZ just remember:
"Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever."
inb4 emerick wins everything

I'm not sure that being on that bracket is a good thing and there are a couple I wish weren't there simply because they are opposed to eElitism.
Joe Dashmoe is against eElitism fyi
>emerick vs publius in first round...
-.-
this is cool : )
Left out the big economic magnates x2
Where is the "Most Promising New Player" bracket where my name should be 🙂
Voted, subscibed # 401. Emerick wins it all!
That's why I voted JDS as media winner. For the irony.
@Dish/Others: Naturally I thought of Harlot/MM2, you'll see hidden in my paragraphs I said people who are active right now.
@Wolfgang/Publius: Everyone likes rivalry matches 😛😛
@Evan/Syrup/Kentel: I sorry ;_;
Dimension is not elite, just an fyi.
