Update: Amazing. It actually manages to censor links to eRepublik posts.
Check http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/keith-lemon-daily-270979/2
for the articles if that helps.
Greetings again, citizens of the eUK.
It's been a while.
This article's a rather specific one, and it pertains to the following articles:
Article I
Article II
Article III
Now that I've given you some homework to read, let's skip to it. If you would, begin by opening any one of the three links above. Hold your mouse in your normal mouse hand and lightly brush your index finger across the wheel, downward, toward the comment section.
Do you see anything funny?
This is what I see.
It's a sad fact of life that it's always the dumbest people that have the loudest voices, and let it be said that both parties have made it known this time.
Do you realise what you represent? You are the two largest parties in the eUK, and yet, as the image above depicts, you sat there like babies crying at one another about something so impossibly moronic that it really should have stayed out of the comments. This kind of nonsense isn't even about vote-buying. It's not about the integrity of an article, about how it should be measured by the quality of writing or entertainment value.
No, it's about two kids punching each other in a playground and coming up with an excuse for it at the end.
Let's be clear about this, parties. You're entitled to an opinion. You're welcome to share it. You should not be about mudslinging for the sake of it - particularly right after a baby boom where we're trying to maximise player retention. There are forums for this - there is IRC, there are the eUK forums, there are better ways than this. Take a look at these quotes for example:
Iain Keers:
>because TUP
>comment by UKRP member
obviously you're a genius BigAnt
BigAnt:
[...] because your a genius Keers? Don't tell anyone what to do, if your own party does it yeah
Absolute nonsense, and certainly not what any party - let alone the two leading ones - of the eUK wants to be offering as their image.
Hopefully you’ve learned something today, oh wise and benevolent parties of the eUK. BigAnt’s stopped vote buying now, so let’s pray that’s enough, but like I say: I don’t believe that it was ever about that on either party’s side. Let’s make politics about the issue and not the parties for once.
I want to leave the issue on a good note. The good thing we - and in particular the new players - should take from this is that, much like the well known Pandora’s box, it’s not all grim. We have one small relief from the violent poo-spewing of our leading parties: They are as fickle as Lily Summers in a group of men. Sure, they may fight their “cause” with the offensive, argumentative attitude of Entourage's Ari Gold on steroids, but they also get bored pretty quickly. I guess we’re safe.
Until the next slightly contentious issue, Llort out.

Llort, you ought to keep to this sort of thing. Hilarious and probably pretty damned accurate. There isn't enough space in the chat for you to expand yous sufficiently.
Just slighty behind the times
But yeah great way to bring up something thats been dead and buried for about a week. When you yourself is saying this isnt the sort of thing that should be in the news but better on irc or forums, Then you go make a new letter about it - Genius
Boo hoo.
I think you've completely missed the point here. You're complaining that the issue is dead and buried - I'm stating that the "issue" was never the issue to begin with.
Personally I believe the two parties need a good shouting at for their crappy performance, be it a week ago, two weeks ago, three weeks ago...pick your choice. As long as these same people are relevant to the eUK their attitudes should be judged by the public.
Poor Lily getting trashed even off irc!
THAT PICTURE
IS SO GOOD
lol'd at poor comment in picture
Lol, Well done Llort
I for one hope ESO and TUP can build a solid relationship now and in the future - push eUK forward, good competitiveness is of course essential to making UK stronger but their are limits
Maybe you should consider my congressional reforms
My life for Llord Llort
It's a sad fact of life that it's always the dumbest people that have the loudest voices, and let it be said that both parties have made it known this time.
What like you?
Ggood ppicture Llort.
It's sad that some people in both parties want to play these kinds of finger pointing games at each other. IPolitics should be about coming together and not blowing up such small issues. if you awnt to attack each other, join the game of thrones game (for house targaryen, fire & blood!)
"They are as fickle as Lily Summers in a group of men."
🙁 =[
The picture is fantastic.
Your grasp of forming coherent sentences on the other hand, is questionable.
