About Giving the Admins Hell
AnBasement
It seems that the most entertaining thing for people to do nowadays is simply giving the admins hell, no matter what they do. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Chances are, you're one of those people.
So, Norway got taken over by multi accounts. A lot of them as well. Around... what, a hundred or more? It was obvious that something had to happen. I don't think a lot of us expected anything to happen. At least not at such ahuge scale, and so fast.
You see, some lowlifers decided to take advantage of the situation. The fake President of eNorway attacked eUK, eRussia and eSweden, effectively ruining any chance we had of surviving. We were immediately attacked from two directions, and annexation was immediate.
Now, admins sees it, and they know it's wrong. A quick investigation shows that multis were used in the takeover, and they reverse what they can reverse, I guess. Give us back our regions and hospital. They didn't give us our MPPs back, but they removed the MPPs the UK had, making it damn near impossible for them to strike back again.
You'd think that, after seeing the admins upholding the law and striking down on cheating, people would be glad, right? That people would thank them for making an example out of this case.
It seems that the elitist douchebags of eRepublik are too good for thank-yous. Instead, the admins get bashed for not doing the same thing before. And I can understand, to some extent, that people are annoyed by the fact that admins did something this time, while ignoring it other times. I get it.
Is it weird that admins don't do anything? Not at al. This case just proves that no matter what, users will bash admins to the ground. Why? Because they expect admins to be some divine power. And yes, it's true that this is their game, and they are responsible for it. But remember this thing, that you're playing this game for free. Unless you buy gold, you don't have to invest more than ten minutes of your time every day to play the game.
And on top of all, the UK seems to think that them taking advantage of the situation was totally okay, and they now demand 500 gold back. Which they don't deserve, because whether or not they had a part in the takeover, they did take advantage of a situation that they KNEW was caused by cheating. That makes them accomplices, which makes them guilty. Same goes for Russia.
What I'm trying to say, what I'm asking for, is that we all try to, at least some times, look at what good admins do, and remember to thank them for doing it. Even though I might hate the new module with all of my heart, I'm not a complete asshole.
Thanks, admins, for bringing justice to the new world. I hope you know that we all now expect you to keep bringing the justice in the future.
Cheers for now

Aye, damn brits moaning at the admins, the admins finally took a step against PTO (UK even were so disgraceful themselves to attack a PTO'd country by multis, a country which has always had troubles), so shame on you UK.
Good job admins!
good thoughts.
let's play by the rules and have fun.
I second this article, all the way. Good writing, KAG.

Reported.
Agreed. Let's not forget that the admins are people and, like everyone else, they have their faults, but that doesn't mean that everything they do must be wrong and/or unfair. They are working for our free pleasure; that deserves, at the very least, our gratitude.
blablabla

That's the brits for ya.
What about other PTO-s?
Good job Admins. Cheating is wrong no matter who does it and if you take advantage you should be ready to accept the consequences.
Nice thoughts. Even I'm on opposite side, I completely agree with the text.

enFalse and everyone else who says this...
PTO is **not** cheating by itself, or even a clearly defined term!
Creating multiple accounts is always cheating and the admin has every right to take action against it.
Think about the difference.
Thank you.
Kloke ord fra kristoffer. Alt for mange klager og klager.
I don´t think the PTO´s is only multis. (they are good player)
But I can not understand how 20-40% of a non- pto contry can be pto´s yea you can wright a citersen request and maybe it will be approve.
but think there are som of the ppl that do multis just for this and are buyin the norway accounts for real money that are agienst the rouls.
and if a Eden president shoulde apper on a PTO country then it is probouble eden cheaters so good work admins.
i agree with everyting written in this article.
Good Job, eRepublik Labs 😉
Good read. Sounds just like something I would say
Thank you admins! \o/
Remember when most of RL Turkey was locked out due to the DDoS and eGreece took the honourable road and did not take advantage of the situation? Were only the eUK and eRussia so honourable.
After a similar situation is eSouth Africa with other Phoenix nations takin advantage of a channer PTO, this sort of action seems to be Phoenix's new strategy - to go for the easy win, no matter how dishonourable.
I like waffles 😃
