Inside the AFA: A Spy's Story
George Armstrong Custer

Spy Vs. Spy

Seems like it's open season on poor little Ajay/RGR. First he gets his Party PTO'd out from under him-- for the third time in a row-- and now a brave young lady has betrayed his trust, coming out as having been a spy inside the AFA for the past three months. I was fortunate in being granted an interview, as well as a preview of her exposé article.

HarleyQ: I joined the AFA about two weeks before the first successful PTO. I used the PTO to move with him and that helped him trust me a little.
Custer: Was he arrogant... I mean, did he show any signs of feeling defeated?
HarleyQ: Not the first time, no. He was extremely suprised and a bit irritated. He really didn't expect it to succeed-- that's his arrogance.
Custer: What else did you do to gain Ajay's confidence?
HarleyQ: He seems obsessed with Game of Thrones, so I watched a few episodes of that so we could talk about it. He's also super far right in his RL political beliefs. It sickened me to listen to him drone on and on about how screwed up Obama is, and playing along with his bigotry and hatred talk. He truly is one sick puppy.
Custer: Did he start losing Serbs then, the first time his Party was PTO'd, or was it the total wipe-- no bonuses at all, and no Congress-- that sent them packing?
HarleyQ: He didn't really start losing Serbs until we got wiped. He lost a few because of the FreeArea loss, but nothing major until after he had no ability to get people into Congress.
Custer: Funny.. his own plan ended up working against him.
HarleyQ: The wipe wasn't his plan, he was actually against it. He was overruled by the Serbs. He told them it was a mistake and they would actually lose people if they did it.
Custer: Which brings me to my next question-- I wonder how much sway did he actually hold over his Serbian imports?
HarleyQ: None, they had sway over him. He did what they asked not the other way around. I spent a lot of time making friends with the Serbs because they were the real power. RGR is a puppet! They were the ones who wanted the second Top 5 Party, to split off and separate themselves from Ajay. Hence, FreeArea.
Custer: Have enough of them gone away to put Ajay back in control of his Party?
HarleyQ: Yes, which is why he attacked instead of defending. Instead of focusing on keeping the Party he has and just getting a back up, he attacked the Lunar Party to try to get it back. During the PP elections, the "$1000" email he sent out was a distraction to try to get people to focus on the AFA instead of what he was doing to retake the Lunar Party.
Custer: Jees.. first thing he does back in the saddle, running his own show instead of being subservient to the Serbs, is to foul up bad.
HarleyQ: It didn't work out because only about a fourth of the people he told to vote in the Lunar Party actually showed up and voted there.

Harley Quinn tells her full story in her latest article, The AFA: A Spy's Tale.


AFA Analysis
Staff Writer Irule777

Over the last few months we’ve now taken over the AFA Party multiple times while also holding all of our own Parties. This shows America’s voting power has not declined while the AFA’s has. America continues to wage a war against the PTO group but for the first time in over a year, we’re finally winning by quite a bit. This time the AFA, after moving to a new Party, still has yet to retake a top 5 seat.

Each time we take their Party, they come back with a smaller force and their numbers shrink considerable. This month we had our first Presidential election where, while they still had a candidate on the ballot, the AFA was not in the top 5. And we’ll be more than able to repeat this for Congressional Elections securing Congress for real Americans and stopping this PTO.

America is winning this war and every time you vote to help take over the AFA, or move to help keep them out of an election, we get one step closer to final annihilation.

Nice job America and keep it up!





Congressional Update
DepSecMed Tyler Buublar


At the risk of drawing the ire of the tinfoil brigades, I'd like to give you all an overview of Congress. This month's Congress is unique in that it wasn’t elected in game. Current members of Congress were appointed by their Party President to hold the same number of seats their party previously held before the wipe. A look at the Public Congressional Proceedings board on the eUS forums reveals another way that this Congress is unique: transparency.

Budget Discussion Proposal, and Voting all occurred start to finish in the public eye. USAF reform discussion, started on the Private Board was moved to Public by request of the Congress. IES Quotas recently passed with votes from all 4 parties in Congress. This also was done under the public eye. SecDef has submitted information regarding the status of the USAF to Congress all in public.

Meta Congress, scorned by some as an elitist shadow congress, has in fact been the most open, and transparent legislative body in recent memory. If you’re interested in what Congress does please take a look, (http://eusaforums.com/forum/index.php/board,15.0.html) many have asked for a more open government. They've gotten it this month.



War Analyst Hale26


The Joint Russia-Mexico-American Strike Force has continued to meet a resounding amount of success in recent days against our common enemy, TWO-backed Hungary. To the tune of 12 regions, Hungary's only notable victory in the past few days was a hard-fought NE battle in Volga, Russia. Our NSC crew honestly isn't worried about that loss though. Due to the facts that we're RWing Russia's lands back at a remarkable speed and that Hungary shares no natural border with Russia, NSC says the loss of Russian initiative is a token victory. In real war terms, the initiative doesn't help Hungary's striking power against Russia.

eAmerica wise, we've freed the regions of Oregon, Nevada and Idaho. Alongside that, we've made a foray in Russia with the attack on Far Western Alaska. That attack, alongside Russian RWs, has cut Hungary off from North America for quite awhile.

At time of writing we're focusing on the regions of Arizona and Utah, Arizona being won 65-1 and Utah 5-6. Something very important to note~ We did not intend to start the Utah RW. While it would've started later anyways, we must use proper timing if we are to win the war.

As usual, please refrain from starting RWs without NSC consent. While the fancy medal may look nice, unplanned RWs help nobody. If this was started in another region, the fate of our war effort could've been questioned.

Finally, I ask that all eAmericans please do not fight for Mexico in Baja. We're hoping for Hungary to keep that region so we can NE attack it, gaining a nice little salt pepper bonus.


SPECIAL LATE EDIT:
Dept of Interior Grab Bag Fundraiser

It was raining cash in eRepublik in January 2012, before Prohibition.

Gambling, i.e. lotteries and such, are illegal in eRepublik.
Which is why we're talking about this Fun Fundraiser but not-- I repeat, NOT-- actually running it in game. Because that would be wrong.
You'll have to log into the eUS Forums, and go to this here eUS Forum page to read all about it.

You know all about the Department of Interior and their many programs to assist new players. The help new players get from the Interior is often the difference between a player who stays (and fights and joins a Party and contributes back to society) and one who becomes discouraged and quits.
We all have a vested interest, through our investment of time and and activity in the game and for our nation. Protect that investment, and Read This Forum Thread TODAY!
UPDATE 1830 HOURS: IT'S OVER






"I want to congratulate everyone this weekend on our massive victories across the board. American MPPs & RW, Mexican MPPs battle, Russian MPPs and RWs, and Ukraniran RWs. Each of these victories will be seen as critical to our eventual liberation and we could not have accomplished that if were not all on the same page as eAmerican MUs.

Special thanks to n0s3 for doing our battle commanding during the day and especially in that critical last round in Mexico-Hungary, Seppo for being on-the-ball with battle orders, Cyber Witch for being our vigilant night watch and also Colin Lantrip, Max McFarland, Gnilraps and the eUS Non-congress Congress."
