Introducing the 506, EZC’s new Political party
Deepchill
Hello everyone,
I’m here to talk about the EZC Political Party.
But before we get into the interesting recent events leading us to this place, I would like to take you back in time for some important history
About 7 years ago, EZC was a small military unit that was part of the Feds. Upon becoming CO of that MU, I and the other officers strongly felt that the eUSA community needed a strong and independent MU, away from all political influence. We adopted a decidedly non-political identity and became what we are now, one of the best military units in the eWorld. It was the best decision at the time.
In late 2015, I also created the EZC Apolitical Party aimed at members that did not really care about politics but still needed a spot to hang out, we were more than happy to camp out of the top 5.
I left the game for almost 3 years, and since coming back around June of 2020, a lot has changed. Politics now completely dominates the social landscape of eUSA. Notwithstanding the noble efforts being made by some to breathe life into some of the less politicized aspects of our life together, all that seems to matter is political power.
Meanwhile, almost all T5 parties have their own MU. BSP has VMA-214. SFP has Bear Cavalry. WTP is mostly Space Force, and even the Feds now have the Pentagon MU that seems to be more of a baby Fed school than the military school it was supposed to be.
That left EZC and its devoted membership scattered amongst parties whose political agendas are at least partially tied to their military units. In this highly charged political environment, Easy Company soldiers have an uphill battle competing for political power.
For a while, many of our soldiers went to USWP - a party without a military unit. But its current leadership seems to have abandoned logic in a last ditched effort to hang on to what little power remains at a fading #5 spot.
A couple of months ago, we decided to rebrand EZC’s apolitical party with a more up to date and fun name: The Mandalorian Party, although I was asked many times about my intentions, I kept telling people that we had no intentions of competing for the top 5 but getting close would be fun.
We then got targeted by scared top five parties for harbouring bots. Congress passed an unenforceable law outlawing the presence of bots in political parties. Our party complied and was purged of known bots. However, even now one can find known bots in every other party ranked ahead of the Mandalorians. We are the only party to have actually responded to the law that was passed by the 5 parties who have since ignored it.
It’s time for EZC to own its destiny.
Times have changed, the game has changed and with irony, I’m also changing.
EZC leadership is evolving, and the Military Unit with them, so that we can play a more pivotal role in the continued growth and success of these eUnited States.
Therefore I am calling all EZC soldiers to join our political party!
But not the “Mandalorian Party”. That moniker has served its temporary purpose while we’ve organized ourselves for a new era.
We invite you to join eUSA’s newest Political Party, The 506.
Why “The 506”? Because the original Easy Company, circa World War II, was the 506th Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army. And we think it’s pretty badass to call our party “The 506”
We have defended this country as its primary military force for years. Now it’s time for us take more political responsibility for its ongoing success and future.
It’s time for EZC to make itself heard.
Together, we stand alone.

CIRRAHEE! o7 I'm stoked
CURRAHEE!
Ahem...
CURRAHEE!
In other words, you're giving yourself permission to re-stock your party with bots.
Feel free to point out the bots in the party. Shouldn't be hard as there are only 21 members right now.
I should have added "and multis."
Feel free to point them out too.
...we'll wait...
And?
So?
But?
What?
No sir, we know the what.
Bots or multies, have been a constant pain in the ass longer than I've been playing. Admin has implemented many things to get rid of them. Yet here we are. If you suspect a bot, and document evidence, you should send a ticket so it can be checked out.
The "And? So? But?" Is my way of asking you to explain what your saying. Are you tap dancing around calling deechill a liar and a cheat? If so, speak up man. I'm not afraid to express my opinion. You are a windbag full of hot air and bull shit. See? That's not hard, is it?
Congratulations on being such a straightforward, standup guy. I'm sure you have lots of hair on your manly e-chest.
Sorry George, I like you ok. But you can't speculate and encourage people to think the worst of a situation and offer nothing. Not that I have anything that's particularly hairy. This article fires up a sense of fair play that is ALWAYS just under my facade here in eRep.
Exact reason why I play in Canada and not USA, I'd have quit years ago.
"Nothing"? The vice president of the party -- which would not exist without him -- is gnilkrap! Surely even you, in Canada, know his history? Perhaps you should re-read the article. The article itself complains about the ...fact... that they got rid of their bots, but other parties didn't -- yet they offer no proof of this. Are you now going to show what a standup guy you are by attacking them for it? Come on, I'm sure you have plenty of tough-guy insults left in your arsenal.
Oh crap, your two retorts are Gnilly and the bots again.
Bots and multies are the staple of US politics. I can remember notable figures bragging about how many multies they had right on the forum. All I will say about the subject is that Canada doesn't use 'em. We've got some that like political party RP, but they keep pretty much to themselves.
As to Gnilraps, we go way way back. He is one of the few people who recognizes the game is supposed to be fun. My favourite Gnilraps moment was years ago when you had us wiped. Canada was fighting hard. Gnilly and I squared of against each other. I don't do scripts so for an hour and a half I clicked fight. TBH I don't remember who won. I do remember the PM he sent. "Son of a bitch!". lol
Sorry, all out of insults/don't care.
So first, I was making unfounded accusations, and that offended your sense of propriety to the point where you lashed out. Then, of course the accusations are correct, what do you expect? I stopped reading at that point. If you said anything useful, it'll just have to be my loss, which I'll suffer graciously.
Agreed, with following corrections...

Ha ha! You win!
Admin removed strike through from comments. Made my post look ridiculous.
Do as you like. You will anyhow. To have any chance of reasoning with someone they first must be reasonable.
Speaking of "reasonable," thank you for giving me permission to do as I like. I feel free now. Good day to you, sir. And next time, before shooting off your mouth ... well. Before shooting off your mouth. Again, good day.
"one of the few people who recognizes the game is supposed to be fun"
both of you are the centerpiece of your egostical game-play not the getter community
werent russia at one point forced to get rids of their nuclear weps but usa have nukes pointing in each direction of the world to go off topic. but differentiate between gnilraps using a script which he has admitted that he has a account rider which he admitted that he only occasionally still bother to log in to read articles and make comments.which he admitted all of those are illegal. a few of us have 100% honest accounts but im not getting the idea that any big tank has anymore. for example try laying down the damage the top fighters lay down. i cant see how a normal human can do that anymore. so scripts are here to stay as long as plato allows them. because its very clear the problem lies with erepublik nobody else. for me though playing a legal game is very easy since i dont really anyway have in a day enough energy to fight. started today on 3990 x 2 used that up then went about 1200 energy over before leveling up and having 3900 + 2700 energy spend was left with 200 energy when i finally worked in all of my factories so that is around 14400 energy i each day have to spend to work in all of my factories . usually leave another 3900 energy to start with 2 x 3900 in morning so never except at start of week to gain semi decent recovery points. game now places so big demands on players that the lines are not even blurred anymore their non existent.
*and using bots which he never has admitted and probably dont.
Script didn't work right and multies seemed like a lot of work. I guess I'm one of the few stupid people that just show up to have a good time. Deploy is supplied by admin. We buy packs and EBs to get around game mechanics (they used to call that cheating).
HAHAHA no.
I think you now have a Georges fellowship... all the Georges seems to have a fetishism on you man..
how far up his arse are you metaphorically(?) going to crawl (and does you - GnilKrap - enjoy the meta-probe?)
My two Georges
'' My Two Georges ''
I'm sure that would make a great sitcom for all the far left commies out there ..
pro-tip on leadership and decision making (your idea of trolling) include baby groot in your rally call, he is even more obsessed over you than anyone, just look how loyal he is no matter how foolish ...
btw, all "far-left commies" are welcome in the SFP. Also moderate commies, anarcho-commies, libertarian-commies, weirdo-commies, socialists of all flavors and in fact all people with a sense of humor who are not boot-licking peeny-wagging neo-fash tree-stumps who think they're a "big man" because they bought an old account. 😉
Really happy to see the creation of a new political party in the current vast but not diverse political landscape!
the only thing i find lacking in the article is political goals and/or party description. EZC is without a doubt a leading military powerhouse but it doesnt say anything about what it will bring to the political table besides for strong and veteran players.
Hi Franz, EZC wants to be more active in Congress, as one of the biggest MU in the eworld, we want to have a stronger voice without being burried in other parties. We want to train and bring new faces in Congress, but we want it to be our soldiers.
highly appreciate the reply but i think that i need to rephrase my question
im a new to eUSA politics but from what i was capable of gathering so far about party related agendas is that each party possesses a set of priorities which they bear as part of their party's statement.
as WTP is part social in free subsidies and liberal in a relatively irregulated economy and BSP is playing as the party who questions political decision making in order to preserve integrity and SFP is advocating towards radical socialism and integrity.
theres more, but id rather not get additional stuff wrong more than i already did
what sets ECZ out besides for military strength? is there any natural political ally?
im not saying this as criticism, it has been recently discussed quite heavily on how much eRep is becoming a place where new players are disregarded and are just following veteran players blindly and thus i feel that a more in depth description for a potentially huge party is required because otherwise its just a form of a junta
Thank you, Franz.
I am not going to be the most eloquent in answering your question, because I am not the most politically-minded person in the party. But I'll give you my thoughts.
As a player, I am decidedly new-player-focused and I will bring that to The 506. In my many years of EZC MU leadership, I have been tirelessly new-player-focused, spending many hours in private messages with new players, discussing mechanics, goals, and the game. So my concept of The 506 is 100% focused on new players whenever they can be found.
I also don't think there is too much value that can be placed in role-playing real-life political ideology ingame. So don't expect 506 to be "left" or "right" in any RL political way. Instead, I am interested in developing a high ratio of membership/activity and intend to use my experience to make sure that the systems in place in eUSA are leveraged to maximum advantage for fun and enjoyment of the game. It will be fun to see how that works its way into an official party platform.
Those are my contributions to the party. We have others already involved in leadership with different foci and skills and goals. One thing I already know is that we do not have an old-boy-network mentality, so as far as I'm concerned we are probably the Party most open to fresh voices and influencers.
But yes, in addition to all of that, there will probably always be a pro-eUS-military-strength platform in 506, and I intend to use my influence to create and support any policies that achieve that end.
Great, thanks for replying and clarification!
"I am decidedly new-player-focused" LOL
None of the major parties has any real ideology. Have you paid attention to the "debates," where the candidates fall all over themselves agreeing with each other, and the only real issue of contention is how much money they promise to give to people? They literally disagree on nothing. It's a tweedeledum vs tweedledee choice, month after month, and this party will not change that, and has no intention of doing it. The interesting thing here is that EZC is owned by gnilkrap, who was a USWPer the last time he was president as the multi "krapis." Now, according to his tool ubuntu, USWP is garbage. This is what happens when you lie down, not even with dogs, but the fleas themselves.
In a way, this is the perfect ending for this game, and especially the US: a political party full of bots and multis.
Please find one in the 506, but I do know at least one in your party
Let's start with the obvious: ubuntu himself. How many bots does he run? Or are you going to try to hide behind the fiction that running bots doesn't make you a multi? I have heard, by the way, from two separate (real) people that the account "Deepchill" is no longer run by the person who started it -- but that's just two (real) people. They could be wrong. Could. Speaking of who knows what.
A political party that is actually Bot-Free.
ftfy
And the most famous multi in the history of the US shows up, right on cue. And it is the vvice president of the party! But "please find one in the 506?" It's an endless clownshow.
i agree on the first part of your response, last two elections it seemed like theres no clear political agenda and thats why i believe that if EZC will bring something new or at least different they might change the way eUSA politics are conducted because other parties will be required to take a line of their own.
otherwise everyone will do what the polls and messages on the country tab says and nothing will change
Have fun, Don Quixote
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

Found one
CURRAHEE
An interesting development!
Just FYI, though the Bear Cavalry membership overlaps a good deal with the SFP, and it was originally created as "the armed wing" of the SFP, and they often share similar goals, the BC became autonomous from the Party some time ago.
The SFP welcomes members of all militias. And the Bear Cavalry does not require its members to join the SFP.
