My Experiences and Opinions of eRep
Vault Guy
Hello citizens of The New World.
This is an article I have wanted to write for a few weeks now and now that I am 100 days old, I think this is a perfect time to write it.
In this article I will give my thoughts and opinions on the party's I have come across, the military units I have come to known, the people I have met and the country I live, work and fight for. I will also give some of my experience on eRep in general.
So lets start with political parties...
Political Parties of eUK
One Vision: First if all, I will start with the party I am a member of, One Vision. I have been with One Vision since I first started eRepublik and have never wanted to leave. They have supported me since I joined, running for congress twice for the party, making me vPP once and currently I am the Secretary General. The people at 1V are good players who are doing their best for the party. 1V doesn't have much since Alfagrem disappeared, but the party is still waddling on. Not many people are active, but those who are, are a great bunch of guys. I very much like 1V and although we are sinking lower and lower in the party ranking, I would never leave them.
New Era: New Era are currently the party I dislike the most. Many of the people in the party are great but the people who run it, not so much. Their main focus is not their members, but to start and create petty arguments with other parties. They claim that parties such as the UKRP and 1V are 'Childish Parties' although the New Era leaders are the most immature group of people I ever met. They are like 5 year old's trying to get attention from their siblings. And this is where other parties are going wrong. Instead of giving them the attention they want, ignore them. Don't speak to them, don't mention them and definitely don't fuel the arguments they are creating. Leave the 5 year old's alone and eventually they will give up.
GBDP: I have come across some members of the GBDP on the IRC are they are generally a great party. Unfortunately though, despite their hardest efforts, it is not doing so well which is a shame as its one of the few good parties left in the UK. They keep to their own and do what's best for its remaining members and that's exactly what a party should be about, it's members.
Unfortunately I yet to have any close encounters with the other political parties in the UK, so I shall end the Parties Parties of eUK section here.
Military Units of eUK
Funky Militia: Funky is an amazing MU. I joined them when I first started and they helped me with supplies and general eRep stuff throughout my time there. Rory Winterbourne (Commander) is a great and helpful guy (and generous too). It is a great community and is completely apolitical. I would definitely recommend them to any new or old player.
Vault Army: Ever since I started playing eRepublik, I have always wanted to start my own MU. The costs to my bank account to create it has been great, but I have never regretted it. The few guys in my MU are good players who like to just get on with the game and fight for the eUK.
The Royal Dragoons: I have been told by cyg that they are awesome, but meh.
Gallifrey: Awesome name.
That brings an end to the Military Units, now on to experiences.
My Experiences
The eUK Library: The eUK Library is something I have definitely enjoyed working on. I get to write articles which benefit the new citizens, I get to work with the amazing jimbobfrey and I have learnt some new coding skills which will benefit me in my I.T course next year. Has been great fun and I am glad I got the chance to work on it.
Congress: I have been a congress member twice for One Vision. Working with other congress members is great as you get to work with other people who actually want what's best for the UK.
IRC: The IRC is a wonderful place full of arguments, weird fantasies, insults, a**holes, homoerotica, colours and some cool people. I don't think I need to say much more.
eUK Library Instant Help & Support: Unfortunately, not many people have used the service except for the occasional player asking for a sandwich.
Now, on to the final section, Players. I will try not to offend anyone. And if I missed you out that means I like you so much that I have completely forgot about you.
Players
BigAnt: Hm, where to start. BigAnt is a douche when it comes to party politics (no offence). He tries his very best to create a 'storm' between NE and other parties. But, if you put all of the political crap to one side, he seems like a very nice guy. I have previously talked to him via PM, and I kinda like him.
Commander Diaper/Fapper (aka Dapper): Commander Diaper is a great artist and a brilliant comedian. The stuff that he says about 1V and UKRP always makes me laugh. He also kindly created some posters of me, which are both funny and original. (Will link them below)
Translation for Command Dapper:
Commander Diaper/Fapper (aka Dapper): commAnder dapper is a grat art man and brill funnieS man. the stuffs he say bout 1V and UKRP alwys make me laugh. he alo kidly made posters fo me witch are FUnny and neW.
Fritz179: Fritz is a smart and cool guy, but is a little shifty. Keep an eye on him at all times!
T White II: Good writer, helpful player and a great leader.
Joahua Whelan: Very kind and generous player. He has helped me and many others lately since his return back to the UK, and I am very grateful.
Jimbojoy: Makes good decisions for the better of the UK, although his reasons for making those decisions are sh** to be honest.
CptChazbear😛
Makes eRepublik a lot more enjoyable.
BaskB: His awesomeness runs the eUK Minecraft servers which I enjoy playing on the odd occasion.
WayneKerr: The name says it all.
Mr Woldy: Best king ever.
Cygnus X1: He has created a whole new definition of awesomeness.
jny123: A good person to talk to on the IRC.
I will end the players section there.
And finally:
eUK
Needs to stop all this political BS, constant bickering between parties, accusing people of being a multi and everything else which is ruining this country and game. If we work together, we can make the eUK a great place to live and play eRepublik.
Have A Great Day,
Vault Guy

shifty huh? haha good read o7
no mention for Bohemond4? : (
Like I said in the article, I like you so much, that I forgot you. In fact you deserve better than this article.
Good article! 🙂
Voted \o/
Should I be insulted? Either way, i am obliged to vote it...
That's the best summing up of BA ever. BA, stop being such a dick and just hang around and be funny again, nothing is better than watching you slag off MUFC on IRC ❤. Have a vote
Huzzah \o/
Voted for the lol factor of this article! You're doing well so far VaultGuy, keep it up and I predict great advances for you both in politics and military (and ofc media)! 🙂
I'll take only the positive thing here: the eUK library.
Yay a mention \o/
Nice Article and thus voted 🙂
well being honest I do agree with most of what you have said, even the some of the anti-New Era stuff
yay GBDP yay
I've seen you on IRC once or twice, your a nice guy and you could do well in the eUK in the future
TUP/UKRP and 1V have attacked NewEra just because we got top spot. You see a threat and are trying to troll us out.
NOT HAPPENING. the feeling is now mutual 1V
1. Go back to UKPP
2. Win President
3. Be yourself
Do these things in this order and the eUK will return to its former glory when I joined the game.
I've not spoken to the rest of the UKPP membership but I suspect I speak for all when I say "NO" to point one....
Fact is, every party BA was part of and has since left don't want him back....
TBH BigAnt, no one cares NE are in top spot and why should we. It's the dirty tactics, constantly accusing others of being Multi's and the BS you and the other NE leaders come up with that makes people want to attack you and your party. Do what surferdude said and stop this crap.
No one cares, yet you all continue posting articles about NE and ME .... Huurr Derr
This article isn't about you or NE.
he just couldn't resist, it's as though the mere mention of his initials causes his PC to go into hyperdrive
Ha ha, good read VaultGuy 😃
I've enjoyed working on the eUK Library with you too. It's good fun so thank you 🙂
"Cygnus X1: He has created a whole new definition of awesomeness."
Couldn't be more true. lessthan3
Great article and Big Ant grow up.
I agree with pretty much all of this. I don't even partake in the political side of the game for the most part, but I do read a lot of the threads on it and I had a lot of respect for BA until he started with his political smearing bullcrap.
Also New Era. The only party I've been a part of (because I wanted to see what "left-wing" meant in eRepublik; nothing, apparently) and the only party I would now never consider joining. But again, I was merely an observer.
Also, all glory to Chaz.
Good read!
