Before we begin I wish to state here and now that I DO NOT speak for anyone except myself; I speak only as a 'pop gun' America Soldier of no consequence, I speak only as an insignificant but loyal American; I speak only as an American who believes in America First. As always I encourage each and everyone of you to get involved, but always remember to THINK FOR YOURSELF.
Head bang with Sixx Sense....

Neo Templar United States Workers Party
General McArther We the People
Robert Remus American Military Party
ISO.LUMA Black Sheep Party
Above is a list of the last member on their respective party's membership list of each of the Top 5 parties. Anyone who has played this game for any length of time knows that an inactive citizen who hasn't logged in for 30 days, dies. When a citizen dies they are removed from the party and military unit of which they were members. So. In order to retain members each party must get their members to log in at least once every 30 days. For those who care to look the last few pages of these party lists are full of such members.
Notice most of these citizens are near level 20, have no avatar and no real strength. Now some citizens may come here simply to run companies and be Tycoons, yet we all know that running companies in this tax environment is useless and very unprofitable; so IMO that claim of activity is BS. Since it seems most of those above also do not even bother training or fighting for America, their presence in an MU simply adds to the cost of running said MU; without any corresponding damage added for America. So, ask yourself who is really running bot farms?
That leaves us with one activity in which they take part, politics. IMO, citizens like those above make up a huge percentage of most parties, especially the Top 2 parties in America; who login 3 time a months to vote on voting day. Recently the Socialist Freedom Party has seen a uptick in it's membership, during the latest Congressional elections we formed a coalition with the Black Sheep Party; the SFP/BSP coalition pushed BSP into the 3rd most Congressional Members -two of whom are SFP members.
Shortly after the elections the accusations began flying, the SFP is running a bot farm; the BSP are thieves. These accusations have mostly come from one 'power group', the same group who controls Congress and thereby American tax revenue and our tax rate. The same group who also controls America's Reserves, which at present is somewhere in the vicinity of 10 to 20 million CC; the exact amount is held in the tightest secrecy. When such an amount is held in the hands of a few 'trusted' citizen accounts it makes me wonder just what is being done with that Reserve. Are members of this 'power group' getting unsecured loans? If so, are they being paid back or are they simply stealing from American Taxpayers to enrich themselves?
So ask yourself who are the real thieves? Those who point at others and scream 'thief', while hiding millions from the American Taxpayers who footed the bill? The Black Sheep Party who very publicly made full restitution in an amount set and accepted by Congress as payment for communes purchased with taxpayers money? While hiding millions and running a 'Deluxe Bot Farm' this 'power group' points fingers and accuses others of wrongdoing so that no one looks closely enough to notice they are the worst offenders.
REVOLT AMERICA!
GET INVOLVED!

Voted for whatever nefarious shit people think we are up to!
Second for the revolution!
Well In everyones defense. 90% of people that start this game don't play longer than a week. Considering I see every single new US citizen that comes in every single day. People click "Join Party" then maybe check in every few days and poof never to be seen again. Its how it works. Nobody is gonna start a game and join the "weakest" parties. Just not how things work.
I totally agree, but citizens who 'poof disappear' will eventually die and be lost; only those that stay at those levels month after month are controlled by someone.
Well i quit playing for a year almost and still logged in to read some media and vote.. its pretty common.. didnt even train. Just read/vote
I also need you for something when you get some free time pm me please.
Its funny how I purposefully joined the "weakest" parties because I thought everyone would join the ones with the most members. Thankfully, it provided me with enough fun and gameplay to enjoy this dreadful game.
you're a fed...
lol when i first joined this game about 2 or 3 years ago I started in the American Progressive Party with 2 other members.

@ Frank; People in glass houses are throwing rocks at us.
Before the month is over, Pfeiffer will try to make one of his puppets into a dictator.
I've got my chastity belt on.
Tell him he has till day change tonight or I lose 200 CC!
In the over 900 people I've invited to the game there are close to 30 that are inactive but have not died. I do not know if they are being used as multis or if plato is not killing them off properly after 30 days in order to keep the eworld population bloated.
I would not doubt Admin would do such a thing either....
wish i had a tin hat i can never think of stuff like this...
great article and totally agree about the bot farm idea which everyone knows about some peoples multis, but i also do agree with 😁 bobby i think it may be a mixture.
and oh the taxes we could all rant for hours about them and stuff
07 subbed (thought i was already) and voted
great stuff tho 😃
I've been voting BSP (or whatever party isn't normal "top 5") for months.. I'm sure there are lots of players that aren't in one of the other top parties that do the same. That said, there isn't a politician or "elite" player in the country that hasn't benefited from multis at some point..
Even if it were true.. pot meet kettle? Who f@cking cares..
Somebody explain this stealing business though.
Former USAF officers left. Took commune companies with them. Formed BSP.
Kemal Ergenekon screamed thief. Debated in Congress. Price set, price paid. Kemal Ergenekon still screaming thief.
Actually, you missed the part where they said the companies and stock they took with them is what they were OWED for their volunteer work, and their agreement to hold GOVERNMENT companies. They said this for what...2 years?
Then Firo came back from the dead for like two days, melted everything he owned to nothing, and donated it to the gubment cause he was buttbuddies with a couple of the thieves, and that was their 'payment'.
They paid exactly nothing. Ever. And still claim those companies are what they are 'owed'.
Well, hello Mr Arundel
...and yet they went ahead and paid for them, no?
He just stated that they didn't pay anything. Firo paid.
Point is it got paid, who paid for it doesn't matter.
I miss you Colin. Gimme a call sometime!
Largo for CP
but heyy you crucified him
hi was no good hi did not need to steal thets why
god damn lets say you have 10mil cc and 1mil gold
what are you gona do whith it ?
@ some point i think most of us forget this is virtual
There have been many who have been crucified by this same cabal of self righteous cads....
Correction: A dead player can stay in a military unit forever, they are not automatically removed after their death.
Not sure about political parties.
Good to know about the MU not losing citizens, I believe it does drop you from the party; but it only makes it worse if it doesn't.
Dead citizens don't get dropped from parties either. I sat as party president in the Revolutionary party for well over 6 months with 3 dead citizens in the party with me. The game never removed them and they never returned. As long as eRepublik doesn't wipe dead accounts they have an artificially inflated population to show investors and such. They have zero reason to wipe these accounts.
I totally get what you're saying. AOL used the same tactic when trying to buy TW, Comcast is doing it right now for the merger with TW. However how hard would it be to to write a script to remove dead citizens from MUs and parties without removing them from the game entirely?
There are ways to solve this problem of dead citizens in parties.
Considering that none of the 50 dead players that I looked at have a political party I'd say yes, dead players are removed from political parties. Maybe not instantly, that I can't confirm, but after awhile.
I'm not saying it's 100% fact that dead accounts don't get removed cause I have no way to be sure. I'm saying that from my experience they don't as I know there has been dead accounts in my party for well over 6 months. If the admin do remove such accounts then they do it piecemeal and half ass with no attempt to clean them all out. It would be better for everyone if they were removed. Dead citizens in parties are a constant source of contention between various groups and serve no purpose except propping up the parties and giving the parties containing them more power than they should have. Parties should rise and fall based solely on their active and living members.
"...yet we all know that running companies in this tax environment is useless and very unprofitable.."
Kinda stopped reading right there. Try again next time!
It's like Franklin doesn't even try to come up with new content or be truthful. Glad he's finally out of WTP though.
