5th May, 2009 (Day 532 of the New World), PEACE G.C. civilians have taken it upon themselves to attack the eUnited States in massed quantities. How so?
On popular media articles, especially those revealing a scandal or criticizing an elected official, there always seems to be those two or three comments that are subtle. "I would have expected more from you scrabman," or jumping on the bandwagon such as "what about freedom of speech?"
They tend to never really stand out, but gives the appearance as if the eAmerican public is in disagreement, confusion, or hate. Sometimes, they even cite rumors that get every excited and begins a whole string of events.
These are PEACE G.C. amateur propagandists and they roam our media, and others, with hateful and criticizing comments. During the Uncle Sam impeachment trials, I saw an unexpected amount of them to where about 1/3 of the comments in his "Resignation" article were from PEACE G.C. citizens making up lies and coining the term "Uncle FAIL."
This is unacceptable, that these e-men and e-women come into our media and spread these. Most of the time, we fail to recognize them as not being of eAmerican (or Atlantis) origin.
An illustration of avatars found just by looking at today's Top 20 media. Notice that most have their country's flag, the PEACE G.C. symbol, or a combination of the two within their avatars.
We must be able to tell who is who. In a Top Five article yesterday which expired late last night, there were six PEACE G.C. commentators, all rather crude and negative, and the only comment calling any non-eAmerican out was an eAmerican criticizing an eUS Marine and had mistaken him as a Romanian due to his residency - despite the eMarine symbol, the eUS flag, and his rank portrayed in his avatar.
We have to be alert, and we have to take notice to what is shown in these avatars. Flag colors, the PEACE G.C. symbol, and lack of correct verb use are all good ways to tell if a person is not an eAmerican. More often than not, most only comment with simple negative sentences to give off that they are affluent in English.
But, how can we fight back? Are we going to just sit here and let them attack our media, our freedom, our right to see things without foreign instigation? Fight the fire, with fire.
I am asking you, the eAmerican, to go into the media of these countries. Hungary, Indonesia, Brazil, what ever, and make randy jokes about their politicians, policies, and what not. Give off as if you raise your expectations for success and they failed. "I guess a new President with more balls is the only way to beat Romania." or "It wilts my groin to see this happen. Shame on you." Even "Even a pedophile could beat Romania. New leadership is needed."
Simple, to the point, and give off as we are just locals looking at the media and are disappointed. I am going to be working, in coordination with The Jewitt Report, Propaganda NOW!, and other news outlets to form the Media Corps of America, which will coordinate negative comments in PEACE G.C. media. I hope that some will get creative and even translate their comments in their respective domestic languages.
eAmerica, for the love of your e-country, freedom of the press, and fun, get out there and make jokes about phalli and make us proud!

Lose lips sink ships!
Is this serious?
Good good article Jewitt, as usual though.
Ok, apparently this is serious, from what I could gather in IRC, and this is just totally the wrong way to be going about this.
Why should we stoop to their level?
"..and lack of correct verb use.."
LOL!
Good article. Being a troll in their media isn't my idea of a fun Monday afternoon activity, but I'll encourage the idea.
Voted and ejaculated on.
scoots: Stooping to one's level? This is a social game, not a moral endeavor. I will not force people to do things as it would not be fair, and obviously those coming to our media do this on their own accord and I want to bring this idea to the light of the eAmerican public.
An educational article. Definitely voted and subscribed. I do have strong reservations about stooping to their level. Perhaps I am simply too idealistic and naive?
It's just a little pay back people. I'm all for it! As long as it doesn't get personal (you know when you start talking about their mama).
scrabman are bad president, he need be impeach!
yeah I guess "lack of correct verb use" is one way to detect us 😃
I swear I need to remember to check the "view all comments" button before I post. Absent-minded! Jewitt, I sincerely thank you for bringing this matter into the light of day, and you do make a valid point about eRepublik being a social game. I suppose I approach this game from more of role-playing angle (trying to be an ideal, principled citizen instead of the more sanguinary approach to politics that I take in real life). Good luck in your endeavors and thanks for defending the eUSA.
Excellent work Jewitt!
>Why should we stoop to their level?
Because it's doing to their media what they have been doing in American articles for months, and because it's kind of funny
It's also very effective to sow discontent in the enemy camp. 🙂
But of course keep personal insults to a minimum in order to avoid problems with the internet police!
Ahem ... I'm from eBulgaria, please put that on the illustration, thank you, because what's the point of putting a flag on my avatar when you don't recognize it?! 🙂
Also I don't recall commenting on articles in the eUSA media actively lately, why am I in here?
One more thing - I happen to sympathize with eUSA and own a business in the country (read "I'm a taxpayer"), so why not voice my opinion when I see the shortcomings of the government. Or are they infallible and all the things going wrong in the eUSA are the evil foreigners' fault?! This is a typical posture of impotent or corrupt politicians.
Well, Seth, when role-playing most people try to act out the dreams they have but can't achieve in the real world. What does that say about you? 🙂
oh lol, this sure made my day
It's not like PEACE players are hiding is it?
There are just a lot of people with common sense left in the eUSA I think. Scrabman likes to say the same as you I think, blame criticism on PEACE players and just neglect it. But tell me, are there no Americans wishing to see a different president?:

First page.
First page? You are expecting multiples? xD
Woot! Go Jewitt
Well, Grakulan, it of course means that my +3 longsword of DOOOOOM must be some form of psychological compensation. I wonder for what? 🙂
By the way trying to be an upstanding citizen is just as boring in eRepublik as in real life - drop it and start having more fun!
I really enjoyed SamWystans' "Fieldist", that guy sure knew how to fight SERIOUS and eUSA needs badly someone to take up his unfinished struggle and create a DoF (Department of Fun), because too many of your citizens forget this is a game and too many of your politicians and military men start taking themselves way too seriously, which is really masturbation, not role-playing and gaming 🙂
Hey, Jewitt, how is my sexual innuendo coming along? 🙂
alot of peace is nothing but trolls.
I think that doing the same thing overseas that is being done to us isn't much of a solution at all. If I had an issue with the way someone is playing, the last thing I would want to do is turn around and emulate that behavior.
The best solution is to educate the readers on who does this, such as what you did in the first part of the article. Knowing is half the battle. If you see a big Peace logo, just keep in mind the perspective that they are coming from.
Yes, they don't let amateur politicians with overgrown egos pull the wool over their eyes and tell them everything is fine when it's not. That's a perspective superior to that of the average eAmerican, don't you think?!
Why don't you look over the media comments during the eMexican fiasco - the voices of reason in the eUSA newspapers were mainly those of the foreigners who warned you over and over again that you are getting carried away with your colonial escapade. You didn't listen.
A few days ago scrabman wanted to invade eRussia and trigger a long list of MPPs just to take some pressure off eRomania. You didn't care, but you were lucky PEACE didn't let you make that mistake (we started a RW in Baja while Mexico attacked it, thus preventing eUSA from retreating and gaining the initiative to attack eRussia). Well, people, if you're not going to take care of your own best interest don't blame others for doing it. We don't like the way your politicians abuse you to serve eRomania's best interest, we feel we have common interests with you, that's why we comment in your media. And rather than offer counter-arguments your lazy politicians and their ATLANTIS mentors usually choose the easy way out - they say it's all trolling and propaganda, so you should just ignore it and not think about it, because thinking is bad for you, it's tiresome and you're no good at it, so don't do it, politicians will do it for you, you're just a robot, do as you're told, ATLANTIS and eAmerican politicians are good and PEACE is evil ...
This sounds lovely.
Grakulan is perfect example of a PEACE media junky in our media, as you all can see.
Also, this is not really much of a call to arms, but a "Hey, if your bored, let's go over to their media." Obviously, Grakulan rather us stay here as he continues to mock us and insult us. Moral high ground has little to do with this game, as we know our enemies are not willing to counter us on our own ground.
Jewitt, I suddenly lost all respect for you, man 🙁
What kind of inane BS is this:
"Obviously, Grakulan rather us stay here as he continues to mock us and insult us. Moral high ground has little to do with this game, as we know our enemies are not willing to counter us on our own ground."
I'm asking for exactly the opposite - let's have fun and let's debate! In your media, in our media - makes no difference. But let's really have a reasonable conversation, not just name-calling and mutual accusations of propaganda and stupid one-liners like the one Vaclav posted. This is a social game, those who give the eAmerican citizens ready answers and tell them to just work-train-fight_according_to_orders and keep their mouth shut and their minds vacant because they can't think for themselves pose a much bigger threat to their well-being than a foreigner who presents his point of view. After all how many times did PEACE foreigners rob your treasury? How many times did PEACE countries goad your nation into making stupid mistakes like the ones most of your e😜residents made? Who's REALLY the source of your problems?
And, Jewitt, don't call me "an enemy" unless you want it to become true for you personally. I've said many times I have no other problem with the eUSA other than its presidents being obedient servants of eRomania with no international agenda of their own so I'm no enemy of the eUSA or its average citizen, but I dislike your self-satisfied and not quite competent and decent politicians.
I was not calling you an enemy Grakulan and you are quite far from it. I was stating a broad generalization, something everyone else does and gets away with unless they are a journalist (obviously we can't generalize 😉 ).
I also am quite outspoken for cooperative relations with both Atlantis and PEACE G.C. nations in trade and diplomatic treatise. This was generally a call to get people to start playing the other side of the game.
I can understand your views (who has done us domestic damage, et al.) and I agree, although Franco was outspokenly pro-PEACE I believe I can say no PEACE leadership agreed with his actions.
My statement came after you pretty much criticized the eUS and its entire premise and then at the same time asked us to keep it civil. Discussion leads of progress, I will agree, and this article was never intended to be a Atlantis v. PEACE War declaration.
"gives the appearance as if the eAmerican public is in disagreement, confusion, or hate."
Jewitt, are you implying that this isn't the case?
Btw, do I count as a PEACE propagandist?
They're here already!
ahh..the negativity this article gives with so much anger and discontent.
nothing comes from revenge, why cant we all get along.. 🙂
😁 Indonesian 😃
(Screams: "They're everywhere!")
It's easy to troll and make propaganda when you're biologicaly equiped to believe it yourself = you have just under 16 years old.
i c so thats your age then ? you should study more and don't skip classes for erep..
I'm glad you wrote on this, I've noticed the same people saying the same stuff from article to article. I agree that there's no reason why we should try the same abroad.
s,v
please sub and vote for me!

This is so true. the PEACe propaganda in our media is what destroys the USA in times of tension, as they're always able to manipulate public opinion.
Says Uncle Fail 🙂
The guy who planted the biggest thorn in eUSA's side by triggering a dozen of eMexico's MPPs and inviting the ePortuguese over to the party.
The president who left the army and the marines to their own means while spending hundreds of gold on his buddies' ranking while tanking for the eRomanians.
The man who paid 700 gold out of the treasury for his own mistake and proved he has no problem with ATLANTIS applying double standards to its second-rate members like eUSA.
Obviously the foreigners' interference in your media is to blame for all his mistakes, don't you see it?! How can you not see it?!
oh my...
This article makes it seem like all negative responses on the forums come from pEACE propagandists, which is absolutely absurd. Homegrown skepticism and differences in opinion between fellow e-countrymen should not only be expected, but encouraged. It goes without saying that there are players out there thristy for any bit of propoganda/controversy they can sink their e-teeth into. All we can do is take it upon ourselves to develop an eye for overexaggeration and distortion, and deal with every bit of information (even that of the skeptics) with some level of skepticism. What annoys me is authority figures simply absorbing criticism and writing off as some low-level disruptive nobody, as opposed to taking the criticism head-on by deeming it with a respectful and explanatory response.
PEACE propagandist claims are clearly going to have an anti-eUSA slant, but that does not mean they are devoid of considerable viewpoints/ideas.
Why deem this with a response? If you think the propaganda is rampant and outlandish now, just wait until you see their response. It will completely destroy this wonderful outlet for players who like to have meaningful discussions on the opinions voiced by fellow players. Good bye contstructive discussion, hello eUSA graffiti wall.
It is something in the water, I tell you. And the alpha waves. Fortunately, I have a tinfoil hat and know how to use it. They will never take me alive.
Oh wait! I am one of them!
Unfortunately, I don't speak Hungarian, Bahasa, or Portuguese. Plus, I have a big American flag in my avatar.
tip: if you want to make a Hungarian absolutely furious, compare the current eHungarian administration to the RL Arrow Cross party in Hungary at the end of WWII (look it up on wikipedia if you don't know what it was).
It's worse than calling out a Hungarian's mama, and I personally don't plan and doing it again, for fear of having some mad Hungarian somehow figure out where I live, bayonnet me, and slowly roast my body with copious paprika.
Vote. Send these stinking Indos back to their islands. We need to be able to deport people. It works in real life, so why not in e-life? ...wait.
@Jon Barack Bluejacket: you mean that migratory race that came from Asia into Eastern Europe and still can't control their free-roaming tendencies? 😃
By no means am I trying to offend anyone here it must be nice to travel the world in large groups and claim dominion in all new countries where you happen to land, for some people at least...
