As I was two-clicking my way through the week, I was taken aback by the sight of really lame birthday cake. That's when I realized it was eRepublik's second birthday, and I was completely and utterly shocked. Why? Firstly, I could hardly believe that this game has made it to two years. Back when I started, I figured it would be game over in a very short amount of time, but the admins have crafted some very crazy mechanics and introduced enough small countries to make this game rather interesting on a sporadic basis. Secondly, the city exploding with fireworks and the party hat were nice touches that added some flair to a normally rather boring top of the site. But most of all, I was SHOCKED to see cake in MY freaking inventory.
This is not to say that I am opposed to birthday parties, but it is that I am averse to birthday cake. As many of you know, I am a staunch supporter of pie. IRL, I go out of my way to have a birthday pie instead of a birthday cake. For my 26th birthday, I had a personal sized blueberry pie. It was amazing and delicious.
I realize that for most of you these shocking and disturbing images are bringing about some strong feelings linked to a debate many have long wished to forget: cake vs. pie. For much of the course of my career here in eRepublik, I have been blessed to belong to a party that values pie. Sitting in the UIP chat, we briefly brainstormed some ideas as to why pie is greater than cake, and here it goes:
1) Pie can have any filling you want.
2) More of the pie consists of the filling--not a bunch of fluffy cake filler.
3) Flaky pastry style or cookie/graham cracker crusts are pure delicious heaven.
4) Pie can be nutritional, as it can contain fruit. (Not to be confused with fruits like Kazeal.)
5) Cheesecake (quite possibly the best dessert on Earth) is actually a form of pie.
6) To create a pastry style pie crust, you get to use a rolling pin, which is really fun.
7) Pie = Pi.
This list is nowhere near exhaustive, but it is a start to reopening that great debate that divides cake and pie lovers all year long. Feel free to debate this in the comments section, as I love an amazing cake vs pie debate. Hopefully, the debate rages on until next year, when I will sign in and hope to be greeted by some tasty birthday pie.
Or at least something we can all get behind...like a birthday cookie.
Happy Birthday eRepublik...and thanks for bringing back up the debate of cake vs. pie.
Kisses,

Cake is full of win.
If by win, you mean choke filled fun, then you are correct.
Cake is great, it's so delicious and moist. But I'm not even angry.
cakemaxx!
Cake
Beef pie is also a delicious pastry. Beefcake is just half-naked men.
You be the judge...
Pie ftw.
I liek befpi.
I did not receive a cake.

Pie of course, Medy is always right duh!
Cherry Pie

Pie FTW
PRIDE!

PIE!
Pies are made with eels. Have you ever heard of a cake made with eels? No. Therefore, cake is better than pie.
Pie rules.
pie until I die
Pie all the way!
who here has had bad pie? not many. but everyone has been assaulted by bad cake which they have been forced to eat at a birthday party or office shindig.
And cheesecake is the best, and the fact that the cake lobby hijacked the name proves their pie envy.
I think the birthday cookie is probably the most viable option for PEACE as suggested
The cake is a lie; there is only pie. Good luck Medy-hime in your quest to prove the truth!~
1) Pie can have any filling you want.
Never heard of a durian cake now have you? hehe
2) More of the pie consists of the filling--not a bunch of fluffy cake filler.
Well... that IS cake. And I like it, fluffy or dense. 😃
3) Flaky pastry style or cookie/graham cracker crusts are pure delicious heaven.
True. I like them too. But so too is cake. 😛
4) Pie can be nutritional, as it can contain fruit. (Not to be confused with fruits like Kazeal.)
No fruitcake?
5) Cheesecake (quite possibly the best dessert on Earth) is actually a form of pie.
Ouch. I too am disgruntled that it bears the name of "cake".
6) To create a pastry style pie crust, you get to use a rolling pin, which is really fun.
I like bread and pastries, so I still get to use a rolling pin.
7) Pie = Pi.
okay
i approve of this article.
the title was very captivating, and the info inside was actually interesting to top it off
good stuff
i'm against both pie AND cake, so it's actually kinda funny to sit here and watch you guys debate 😃
Pi and Pie are so full of win.
Apple Pie = Win
