Putting the "E" in Erepublik (CP entry)
•
by Mustache Dictator
The admins of Erepublik have done everything ( we think ) in their power to make this game like real life. The question is, is it becoming TOO much like the real world?
Something becoming more and more common recently: Emarriage
What's the point?!?!?! I guess if you're RL spouses, it would make sense.
But seeing some random player and asking "Will you Emarry me?" is just straight out weird.
Lets say this person says "yes".
Now what happens? Do you E hold hands? Do you Emake out? Have Esex???????
The day the admins make that is the day E pigs fly.
Then we come to.. Religion.
Now, I'm sorry Flying Spaghetti guys, but whats the point? The whole reason behind religion is to find why we were created, and what happens after death.
Well, I'm going to answer that. You were created for personal entertainment, and when you die, you spend all your time in RL.
There you have it, no need for E religion now is there?
Here's a dictionary meaning for you
"A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs."(Dictionary.com)
So is it really worth it?
Thanks for reading

Soo many bugs! I probably spent more time editing it then i did writing it! Anyway, vote and suscribe
voted and suscribed
i suppose Emarrige is to bring a sence of 'closeness' between those people who cyberdate, and the religeon might just be a joke cause thier bored?? (sorry speghetti peeps, just a theory)
anyways good article
Great read. I agree with both subjects and how pointless they are.
"If it makes yoouuuuuuu haaaaaappyyyyy -- then who the hell caaaaa-a-a-ares???"
🙂
Excellent article Mustache Dictator once again.
Thanks all!
"religeon might just be a joke cause thier bored?? (sorry speghetti peeps, just a theory)"
We're not BORED, but it does add a bit more fun into the game.
I can not disagree more strongly. The limited feature the admins added are not enough to entertain us forever. Everything we create we do to enhance the game. It could be as simple as creating forums, cabinet etc. but eventually get more complex and the gameplay evolves and becomes more sophisticated, more aspects added to it, more community etc. etc.
eRepublik needs the community and everything the community makes. There is nothing wrong with adding additional aspects to it to make the game funner.
Over and out.
Thanks for voicing your opinion Dominik
Yeah, I'd like to wish you luck, but your success would coincide with my elimination from the tournament 😃
Nice to see two people with oppoising viewpoints square off against each other in this thing, though.
"You were created for personal entertainment, and when you die, you spend all your time in RL.
There you have it, no need for E religion now is there?"
Haha! The best part!
Judge 1:
1) Grammar/Stylistics: 4/5
Only a couple punctuation marks were wrong, or missing, otherwise it was great.
2) Persuasiveness/Veracity/Humourous Appeal: 7/10
With a main arguement like "what's the point" it's not very persuasive but there are some chuckles in there
3) Creativeness/Originality: 6/10
Too many spaces and on atleast one account a new line when there shouldn't be one.
Total 17/25
Judge 2:
Grammar/Stylistics: 3/5 – sentences are clear but the spacing and punctuation may distract the reader, fun use of that letter “E”
Persuasiveness/Veracity/Humourous Appeal: 6/10 – the humour and rant-like exageration is what carries this article, the ideas are valid but may be obvious observations, the examples are amusing but seem scattered
Creativity/Originality: 7.5/10 – challenging the ‘RL-ness’ of eRep was a new approach, the article was inventive but it was hard to determine if it was having fun or trying to make a serious point, dictionary definition was a nice touch that could be blended in more with the rest of the article
Total: 16.5/25
Total: 33.5/50
Congrats on the win Dominik!
Thank you Mustache- hope to face you again some day 🙂
Good luck in the next few rounds!
