The Image of Our Characters!
malika ela
The important part of this game is no doubt about that….NOT the profession in which our character makes career, BUT the image with which we fit up our character. What’s truly behind the personality of our character is much more complex than some simple clicks here or there. A simple comment that we make can do harm the image or improve it. Therefore we must always think twice before we decide to make a statement. An important role for this lays in information, and access to it.. We must be informed about the path and the issue of an idea or a problem. Otherwise we’ll tend to persist in error when everybody’s showing us the right way. When something like this happens, not even our best friends can do anything to improve our damaged image. All we can possibly do it’s to admit our error and to apologize…elsewhere the error will “shine” above our character’s head in the future, making us vulnerable. An admitted error it’s a half-forgiven one.
Another wrong step that we usually tend to take, it’s to confuse the virtual life with real one; or the virtual character with the real person behind it. Insulting the real person it’s an unforgivable and unjustifiable mistake. We can be against an idea or affirmation of a character, but NOT against the real player itself. Because this is virtual reality we have the guts to start some experiments, sayings things we normally don’t, taking actions we normally don’t take. I’m just a character and you know nothing about real me, so get stuck on my character and nothing all.
My fellow citizens: STAND UP against the mixing between real persons and characters!
When we talk about the politics, we must make sure that our accusations are founded, drastic affirmations like ‘your party never did this or that’ are totally wrong from the start. You can’t know for sure what a party did as long as you weren’t even part of it. In the same time…every party has its own ideologies and its own goal.
However, the main idea remains: every move and comment that we make, changes the image of our character. This cannot be improved by the economical, social, military nor political situation that we have. No GOLD or political situation can save us from disgrace. Being against the majority won’t make your character look stronger or interesting. And although the multitude of ideas it’s the cradle of progress, a comparison between gains and loss should be made. DON'T ruin your public image just to state some different idea. It will bring you the proscription and disapproval on long term.
If you realize that you don’t have enough info about a debate, you’d better stay away than jumping into passionate conclusions. But if you still do want to involve, it’s wiser to admit that you haven’t got enough info, than to start insulting the others.
Bringing strongly argued considerations it’s the best attitude we can have.
Jumping from VL to RL when we want to attack the other it’s just a sign of weakness which shows that you don’t have real arguments in favor of your opinion. This makes you a weak player, that won’t have a good, powerful image on long term. Also, it’s not enough for your image to agree with the powerful ones. You’d better state your own point of view regarding a topic if you don’t want to be called a fawner.
REMEMBER THIS: in the end, ONLY YOUR IMAGE WILL COUNT, not your economical/political/military/social position that you have in the game!
You have in your hands a powerful tool that you can use: YOUR WORDS.
Use it wiser!

Foarte bine zis.

I don\'t fully agree with your article. You shouldn\'t be so pessimistic. The most important thing is to behave in a way that is true to yourself. That is the only way to play this game.
I did not agree with the invasion of Bulgaria, You would not expect me to 😉
However, I do applaud the fact that you saw the adventure through to the end. And that you wrote an article explaining publically how and why you did so.
But that\'s why I also respect Maximus for his courage in doing what he did.
To experiment in eRepublik is the right thing to do. We should not be ashamed of what we do, provided we do it with a clear conscience!
Best wishes

E un pct de vedere interesant ,dar tot un pct de vedere ramane.... . Desi sunt deacord cu unele afirmatii ,unele sunt cel putin discutabile.
@RonaldChris, you may not fully agree with it because it didn\'t happen too you YET...to be attacked in the REAL you. It happened to me just yesterday, therefore the idea of this actual article. I wrote it in English just to give the opportunity of my foreign friends (like you) to express their point of view 🙂
Thanks for your reply, best wishes as well 🙂
@RonaldChris - I totally agree with you, the best thing to do in this game is to experiment, without making any harm to real economy 🙂, unfortunately the game is too simple (the economical mechanisms) I hope it will become more complex in the future. Regarding to what @ malika ela said, it is impossible to separate the real user and the virtual one, it always will be point were those will cross .
@malika ela si moon ... ati inceput amandoi sa intelegeti despre ce e vorba..si poate veti lua atitudine mai des atunci cand vedeti ca unii useri sunt facuti albie de porci ..virtual ...real si in orice mod ... astept dupa aceste doua articole o schimbare a pozitiei voaste atunci cand vedeti mizerii..indiferent cui sunt adresate (roman, ungur , UGD-ist, RU-ist, alb, negru, gay, straingt, etc)
Din pacate omul invata doar din propriile lui greseli iar ce vede ignora..pana ajunge el la misloc...
@GM, mie daca mi s-a zis: \"du-te si te culca\", am inteles ca am gresit si am actionat in consecinta. Nu am asteptat sa-mi sara toti in cap ca sa inteleg despre ce e vb. A fost de ajuns o singura persoana care sa ma sfatuiasca corespunzator. NU voi lua atitudine DECAT daca voi considera ca persoana atacata merita sa fie aparata. Daca gresesti si nu-ti recunosti greseala, nu te astepta la miracole in ce priveste imbunatatirea imaginii tale. Cat despre apartenenta unui personaj la un partid sau altul, la o etnie sau alta....nici nu este nevoie sa mentionezi. Astea sunt nuante de care nu tin cont. Singurul lucru dupa care ma ghidez, este integritatea persoanei 🙂
@ME ... nu dau doi bani pe imaginea pe care o au unii despre mine, atata timp cat conceptia lor despre eR este total anapoda... cand te visezi mare imperiu doar pentru ca traiesti in RL intr-o tara mica si batjocoresti pe altii doar ca sa demonstrezi ce mare esti tu ...
In acest joc suntem de conjunctura mare putere si nu vom mai fi dupa v1..cu fiecare zi de publicitate la acest joc eRomania va scadea in forta... Iar cei de care am facut atata misto in BETA vor avea grija sa ne trimita exact acolo unde ne e locul
ceea ce nu ai inteles inca din acest joc este ca nu vom putea supravietuii ca natie prin Takeover-uri...ca aceasta politica de \"ma doare in cot de altii noi sa fim puternici\" nu va mai tine mult...si vom termina ocupati exact cu armele noastre daca nu demonstram ca putem gandii si altfel
Tine minte ca eRomania este vazuta ca o tara sprijinita de admini iar ceea ce a Facut Petrescu in Irlanda si Gruparea Bulgareasca nu vor fi uitate...chiar de curand citeam undeva (un comment la un articol de aici sau de pe ecateteni) ca s-au pierdut contracte cu Brazilia datorita actiunii Bulgaria..
Incearca sa nu mai iei totul nemestecat..nu te mai arunca de fiecare data cand Solo face ceva... tu ai picat ca si altii intr-o actiune care \"da bine\". Din pacate tragi ponoasele...
Ce s-a intamplat in Bulgaria?
@GM, scuze, dar tu nu ai invatat lectia ta, ca asta e un joc. Joc in care daca nu incerci sa te autodepasesti, totul devine anost. Daca in joc era posibilitatea takeover-ului, de ce sa nu o folosesti?! Da savoare! Daca adminii nu ar fi vrut asta, l-ar fi dat ei jos pe Victor de la presedentia din Irlanda, si i-ar fi dat ban userului. Viziunea ta despre regulile si scopul jocului e din start gresita, si lucrul asta iti va aduce si pe viitor neplaceri daca nu umbli la ea. Cat despre \'Operatiunea Bulgaria\', am facut-o pt. ca ideea mi s-a parut interesanta si plina de invataminte. Decizia am luat-o intr-un timp extrem de scurt raportat cu importanta ei. Han a invatat si el din experienta asta, si il va ajuta pe viitor in luarea unor decizii mai corecte. Atata timp cat in joc exista si latura militara, voi face ce consider ca este nevoie pentru interesele tarii....fie ele mai mult sau mai putin legale. Opinia publica si-a spus cuvantul in legatura cu \'Operatiunea Bulgaria\'. Tu erai contra valului care era destul de nimicitor. Chiar daca operatiunea a esuat, eu nu am vazut ca presa (si mai ales opozitia) sa vuiasca de acuze si sa caute vinovatii. Asta ar trebui sa-ti dea de gandit 🙂
P.S. Complet pe langa relationarea tarii reale cu cea din joc....parerea mea.
🙂
Generaly, the people reactions are dictated about instincts, feelings, not by judgements,or other rational causes.
The love for something so abstract like a country is, for certain, dictated by sentimets and not by rational judgements.
Is like in love. You must renounce to yoursels to find the whole.
About the inner dispute:
Gregorius, vroiam sa iti raspund la celalt articol, sau prinpm, o voi face aici totusi.
Atunci cind existenta ta, a antecesorilor tai, iti permite detasarea minima si suficienta, sa zicem chiar nobila, poti avea distanta necesara fata de problemele vulgului, cotidiene, iti poti permite principii si valori, care insa sunt inaccesibile altora.
Trebie sa intelegi ca fiecare reactioneaza asa cum este obisnuit din RW. Sunt o multime de conexiuni, axiologice, etice, morale, care nu ne dau pace nici aici.
Totusi, cum spunea Ela, decizia e simpla. Accepti valori universale ale omului sau imbratisezi valorile nationale.
Adica, interesul public sau cel privat primeaza.
Sunt convins ca deja stii un articol al meu cu referire la asta.
ME...sper sa nu am dreptate ..sa nu trezim un val de ura impotriva noastra cu aceste actiuni...caci daca acest lucru se intampla un takeover asupra romaniei sau un razboi mandial indreptat impotriva noastra nu e deloc exclus...tu din pacate vezi doar azi si maine...uiti de poimaine..de aceea vezi razboiul si takeoverul ca singurele solutii viabile pentru a ajunge mai si tari
A quite long, but true article... (+ vote)

Ai dreptate!
Voted + subscribe (chiar nu stiu de ce nu am facut-o pana acum) 🙁
Good article!
Voted.
I agree also with what RonaldChris said.
