An Open Letter to those who it may concern,

Dear Romanian overlords,

I, on behalf of the people of the free world, must express my displeasure with the latest change to the eRepublik homepage.

Granted, this is a a game, but I, on behalf of the free people of the Western Hemisphere, must make it explicit that your taste in art is lackluster, disgusting, and offensive. The Statue of Liberty is one of our most valued national symbols and to see it toppled by Chinese forces is grotesque. China is a mutual friend in both real-life and in-game, some antagonism is there, sure, but we are not enemies and to see such art on the eRepublik homepage is unacceptable.

Let me put this into context for you, how would you like it if the Romanian capital was displayed on the home page, in ruins and set ablaze, with the United States Flag waving gallantly in the foreground?

Therefore, I hereby request that the homepage is modified so that no nation is represented, or, if you desire, include all the nations on the home page. The old home page with French propaganda was cute, but it obviously targeted French players, which is strange, considering this is a global game.

So, my Romanian overlords,

Would you like to see Bucharest set ablaze?

I recommend this be used as the new eRepublik homepage.

Think.

Remember who you serve.

We’re behind you.

Let us please remind you.

And let us come and find you,

If you ever lose your way.

"Romanian capital was displayed on the home page, in ruins and set ablaze, with the United States Flag waving gallantly in the foreground?"

More likely to occur in RL.

United States Flag --> hungarian flag 😉

To a romanian this would be more offensive.

Clorox II Day 1,431, 10:19

This aggression will not stand, man!

drago.14 Day 1,431, 10:21

ps: I checked and I still have the old one (with the french flag), so I guess the homepage now depends on your IP.

Nuriessa Day 1,431, 10:31

I'm not impressed with the change either, thank you for writing this article

Tibulus Day 1,431, 10:33

Same argument could be applied to the old image. It's not a big deal imo

glove is love

Marcos Farias Day 1,431, 10:41

dont agree. this is a game, not rl. denied.

Zoli Day 1,431, 10:45

China is a friend of USA in RL? This is the best I've heard in a while.

Mav10 DK Day 1,431, 10:50

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. Heh

Hide.D Day 1,431, 11:02

@Zoli: China is the country that owns more bonds of US government. If its not friendship, I dont know what it is.

Not voted by the way, its just a possibility in the game, not a statement.

J.Canuck Day 1,431, 11:06

Maybe they're Chinese repo men collecting on unpaid loan payments (;

clawy Day 1,431, 11:07

"China is the country that owns more bonds of US government. If its not friendship, I dont know what it is."
It is owning somebody. And his children. And his children's children. So basically slavery. Of course the slaves can revolt, as in not paying back the owned money.

Damjan Popov Day 1,431, 11:08

Albanian flag in real life Serbia (Kosovo) is OK, but China flag in USA in game is NOT OK?!?
Fail article!
No Vote.

Zoli Day 1,431, 11:11

"China is the country that owns more bonds of US government. If its not friendship, I dont know what it is."

It brings China profit $$$$$$$$, it has nothing to do with friendship. USA would do anything to destroy China in RL as it knows China will take over No. 1 from USA in every field.

Bhane Day 1,431, 11:15

Excellent point.
Maybe they could use a Croatian flag over a fallen Serbian landmark, or vice versa.

Choose two nations that are actually enemies, and two nations that are in the top ten population to get a representation of the actual game.

v+s

Unum Day 1,431, 11:16

Hmmm, why aren't you equally offended by the depiction of the London Bridge being destroyed by the French -- RL allies of the British.

clawy Day 1,431, 11:21

"how would you like it if the Romanian capital was displayed on the home page, in ruins and set ablaze, with the United States Flag waving gallantly in the foreground?"
That would be too easy. You just need to go out, make an actual picture, an add the US flag.

Gagon The Great Cajeta Lover Day 1,431, 11:23

@clawy, I seriously loled xD

Marcos Farias Day 1,431, 11:52

@gagon, chupa meu pau.
