Cool Kids Don't Use eRep Chat
Joe Newton
Young eAmericans,
Experienced Americans don't use eRep's chat.
Because it sucks.
Back in my day, there wasn't a eRep chat!
Americans use the IRC, because it's awesome. You can:
-Order eAlcohol
-Play Trivia
-Do actions
-Kick other players
-Ban other players
-Have fun
and much more!
If you want to move up in the eWorld I suggest you use the IRC! There you can talk to your boss, or politicians or military guys...whoever you want. They are there.
But eRep's Chat sucks.
Got it?
So, How Do I, Like, Use This IRC?
You can get onto the IRC by clicking this.
-Then select Rizon for a server.
-And then make up your nickname.
(Preferably a spin off of your eRep nickname.)
And your pretty much done. Welcome to the awesome world of IRC!
For the Veterans Reading This...
We just experienced a 10% drop off in population. (400 people)
This is not acceptable.
So, I got to thinking. I haven't seen any new kids on the IRC lately...
And then I noticed eRep running it's "USA, Lets Chat" ads.
Bingo.
Veterans don't use eRep chat. New kids, probably do. They are probably looking for guidance there, and receiving very little, and then quitting.
Do you remember what it's like to be new here?
I do.
IT'S BORING!
The game only picks up once you have something to do.
Let's get those future Field Marshall's and Presidents some help!
Just by voting this up, your doing your part.
Although I do encourage everyone to invite just one friend to eRepublik, and help them through the game.
By doing that, you will double your impact on America's future.

IRC FTW!!!

Plus, IRC allows you to order eBeers, read the latest FMyLifes, do battle calculations etc. etc.
Come join in the fun, kiddos! 😃
Also, consider downloading a client like mIRC. It's very useful.
Krems-sensei reporting in. eRep chat seriously blows, get on rizon. also don't use newfag mibbit, download mIRC and chat like a boss 😎
Get on IRC and you're in the game.
Get on eRep Chat and you lose the game.
I hope everyone can see the difference now.
Link doesn't work 😛

IRC is epic. eRep Chat is fail.
Consider yourselves educated.
I'd visit eRep chat on occasion but it doesn't even work properly for me, the text is so tiny and I cant change the font size 😛 I cant even read it.
IRC is WAY better
I concur.
I've always thought the great thing about eRepublik is that it kept its interface simple and allowed us to create worlds around it. I use Gobba's maps instead of eRep's, and I use IRC instead of eRep chat.
Speaking of IRC, why don't you stop on by The Arjay Phoenician Show? Tuesday, 3pm eRep time, Rizon server, #theapshow.
Great stuff Joe. eRep happens in IRC
V/S
I use both IRC chat and Erep chat. It's true, many of the newer players are hesitant to register for another site and try to figure out their way around that. Irc is certainly better, but the Erep chat is very quick for those not registered to the eU.S. forum and new players often go for convenience.
Anyway, I voted!
vote!
Too bad the chat is inactive as hell.
Almost pointless since no one talks in it.

I voted, but I still use eRep chat sometimes.
If the theory is that "experienced Americans don't use eRep's chat", then it must be the less experienced (newest) players that are in eRep chat, and if you want to help the newest players... going to where they're _not_ won't let you reach them. Plus you can see their profile, check on their wellness etc - easy to get a quick idea how they're doing.
I sometimes get on eRep chat, have a few links ready in a text file (DoD orders, eUSforum, articles on wellness etc) to paste in for anyone interested and it's an easy way to help a little with retention while watching TV or something.
Retention = WIN.
Go eUS!
vote it up!!
ircmaxxxxxxx
10% of 20k is 400?????
for the win.
Personally, I like about any chatrooms outside of this site.
The ones on this site suck.
Aight?
I selected the server Rizon....
And thn?
what now???
once your on rizon type /join #usa-chat
Wrong. Use eR chat. I used irc for over a year before coming to this game. OK. Now...makes you change nicks twice a day.
BUmp.
