The Generic Introduction

Hello ~~muppets~~ dear readers (plural, because I hope my mom won't be the only one to read this),

After more than a year and a half of playing this game I have finally scraped up enough money to buy myself a newspaper. As you can probably already see from the immense blandness of this article, it is the first one I ever wrote. Given that, I could not come up with a better topic for it than an introduction to the purposes of this newspaper (and I tried for a whole 30 seconds).

So, without further ado: as the name "Another Generic Newspaper" suggests, this generic newspaper will be used for generic purposes, such as my generic congress/PP/CP candidacy speeches, generic party advertisements during generic election times, generic commentaries on eUK's generic current events and completing generic missions that generic Plato generically releases for us (speaking of which, plz gib generic comments bellow).

That is all for now, stay tuned in for more genericness sometime in the foreseeable (if you're a psychic) future.

When I was in high school & Counter-Strike: Source was still big I used to play on this one gungame server almost every day. Aerelon gungame. It wasn't a tiny server but small enough that you got to know the core members, sorta like the eUK I suppose.

There was this one guy that played. His name was Diprat. He was comically bad, often getting no kills and dying a couple dozen times on a single map. He was pretty much an easy way for the opposite team to farm levels. Despite this, he'd play at least a few nights a week. It was always a treat to watch lil Diprat flail around and wonder why he came back month after month. He wouldn't respond in chat to tell us, we just decided the guy didn't speak English.

Eventually the guy that ran Aerelon decided to pack it up and the servers shut down. I was lost. I fell back onto different game modes and played less and less, until about a year ago when I decided to look for a good old-school gungame server. I find one that seems to have potential and I play a few maps, and then out of nowhere that silly motherf*cker Diprat joins. It's been years, and this guy is still f*cking horrendous. He's in the top 10 players on the server for overall time played, but the guy has like 1 kill per 30 deaths.

Good ol' Diprat.

But that wasn't the only shock that day. Diprat spoke. He opened chat and wrote something that took my breath away... "hacker!!". Beautiful.

Anyway the guy had a stupid rhino avatar on his Steam profile & a stupid rhino tag in-game that was almost identical to yours so I have this mental association between Roachford and that f*cking idiot Diprat. It feels good to finally say it.

You got me. I played CS😒 for years but the the players there (apparently consisting of school kids) always ended up being better and smarter than me. That's why I hate CS😒, and love eRepublik.
