Ok everyone, it's time for Round 2.
After getting "buried" in our Digg attempt, it has taught me a lesson. Our enemies will stop at no lengths to keep us from succeeding. They won't even let us escape into our digital world to let us advertise the game.
This has made me change directions in my search for mediums to advertise. Yesterday, I began thinking of mediums that didn't have a "bury" button or a "vote down" button. I found several places, but I felt it would be best to start with Twitter.
For those of you unfamiliar with Twitter, it is a massive "Social News" site. Basically, a bunch of people get online and "Follow" each other. People can put out what they're doing, for example, and everyone following can see that. This was crucial in getting information out in RL Iran during the government crackdown on foreign medias.
Now, it's time that we use this to our advantage. I ask all Americans, Canadians, and any other ally nationality to sign up for Twitter and help us in our effort. If you haven't signed up already, you may do so here: https://twitter.com/signup
Once you have signed up (or if you already have signed up) you can follow the official eUS Twitter account here: http://twitter.com/eRepUSA and click on the "Follow" link on the side.
For those of you unfamiliar with Twitter lingo, I'll try to explain some now. In order to post a direct message to someone, you put @[Twitter name]. For example, to send a direct message to me, type in "@eRepUSA [message]". Occasionally, you will see me post something with "RT" at the end. This stand for "Re-Tweet". In other words, either I saw someone say it and am retweeting or I want you to retweet it. And finally, there are certain trending topics which are organized by "#". For example, I might post "#eRepublik" and all other Tweets with that in it will go in the same category.
So anyway, go out and spread the word on Twitter. We cannot be "buried" here!

Do it up!
PEACE propaganda
@toha
So says the French guy in Russia
Wait, how does following your account on Twitter help our cause?
A better bet would be to try to get eCanada or eRepublik or something into the Trending Topics. That'd get us a lot of attention.
Try try again
Thanks, Ekim, for posting this article and for recognizing toha for what he is. XD
If you add one of the trending topics in your tweet, everyone will have a chance at seeing your tweet, for example a trending topic today is TGIF, so if you were to add that before your "tweet" then it will go to that trending topic page for all to see
@Clifford
If I put out a trending topic and ask everyone else to put out that same topic, that gets us seen more than just me.

I cant believe I did this....I am a stark fan of Facebook. But for the good of the nation I do!!!!
Great idea!!
HOSS IS BOSS, JEWITT TO LEAD HIM THROUGH IT!!!
Which is exactly why us archivist guys won't touch Digg or similar services. It's basically a mob rule determining the validity.
will there be a third stop?
Weak start guys! There've been more replies to this post than there have been tweeters. At that rate it'll never come close to being a trending topic.
I'm a FB fan, but I'll tweet against PEACE
