Freedom of press is absolute [EN]

Here is the article Nanotik, deleted by admin to censor him :



If it wasn’t that serious, I could be laughing. Indeed, I published an article two days ago (it is currently in the international Top 5) in which I suggested some things to improve the press module, because it has never been changed. Today, they decided to react in order to contradict me. What an irony, isn’t it ?

Take a look :




And now, here is what it currently looks like :


"You can post articles only in your citizenship’s country. Changing your newspaper’s location to match your citizenship should solve the problem."

Wait, I’ll read it again, I think I didn’t understand at first reading…

YOU CAN POST ARTICLES ONLY IN YOUR CITIZENSHIP'S COUNTRY. CHANGING YOUR NEWSPAPER'S LOCATION TO MATCH YOUR CITIZENSHIP SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

Are you serious ? Yes, they are serious.

Admins, I began to publish different articles in various countries since a few days. Each time, this article is enjoyed by these countries’ players. 3 articles (out of 4) went in the international Top 5. And it wouldn’t have been possible if I had published them in France, because French people were not concerned by these articles, and they’re not enough to increase the votes number and to make them visible worldwide.

My newspaper intends to be an international one. A frontierless one. I’m publishing interesting articles to make EVERY EREPUBLIK PLAYER happy, and not only the French ones. Moreover, I’m sure that French are just a small part of my reading audience.

I had many good reactions from several Poles, except one or two peoples who didn’t understand that it was humour… I sent them a MP to explain them my joke, and all was fine then.

Some ideas for admins to improve the press module.

#5 worldwide ! I made some suggestions to improve this module. The day after, here is your “improvement” : to forbid the publication of articles in foreign countries… GREAT, we can feel we’re listened to.


Thanks to your “improvement”, you’ve just destroyed my newspaper’s concept. I absolutely don’t care about the EDEN-Phoenix war, I just wanna have fun and publish some funny articles (which may speak of this war).

If you remove this article and if you don’t change your decision, I’ll stop playing eRepublik. I’ve got enough to be waiting for your game to “change”, to “improve”. If actually, it means to stop hoping that it ever happens, to admit that your game will NEVER change, then don’t do anything, keep on doing what you’re doing. Then you shouldn’t be surprised to see players who, like me, play this game since a few years, and who decide to leave this game progressively.

P.S. : Don’t forget, update your rules. The third rule doesn’t exist anymore.

3. Freedom of press is absolute (without breaking amendments 2, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 3.2)

Because we can no longer publish in foreign countriess, I’ll offer a trackback to the articles which will deal with this topic, in order to get a better visibility in France.
