Hello everyone and welcome to the show. My name is Joe Newton and this is The Newton Factor. This is the show where we talk about the big issues, and offer a logical point of view. A ton going on today everyone, glad you got a hold of the show, however you may have managed to get a hold of it. Tell a bunch of other people about it, would ya?
Today were going to take a look at the most influential Americans.
Number 7
Seven.
Sydiot
Sydiot is the economic master of Congress. The architect of raising the dollar peg to 0.03, which I have absolutely no understanding of. I’m told it was quite important.
A brief eHistory: I was born in eCalifornia during the HR administration. The ads were full of Scrabman's goodbye articles and the main topic of conversation was the USWP's proposed Congressfreeze. I followed an ad for the Young Socialists and spent my nursery days in the SFP Commune, for which I am very grateful.
During the darkest days of WWIII, I took a position as Ambassador to ePeru, where I met great folks like Wally Wilson and got ankle deep in their PTO and economic problems. I joined the Libs to be like Emerick (lulz), and there I met Daphne Lilac, who introduced me to DanielCD, and later Devoid and Brad Reala. Daphne ran me for Congress and I joined the Budget and Finance Committee where I think I really found my stride. Since then I've been joined at the hip with the national budget, monetary policy, and the US economy as a whole.
Where do you live IRL?: I live in Los Angeles, in a beautiful Hollywood apartment with my even more beautiful girlfriend.
How old are you IRL?: I am 27 years old.
What’s your RL name?:My true identity is my most valuable asset, I must keep it secret at all times.
Favorite color?: My favorite color is white
Favorite food?: My favorite food is Thanksgiving.
What impact has eRep had on your RL life?: eRep has devastated my RL productivity, but I love it. Being ambassador to Peru helped my Spanish, being Secretary of the Treasury has forced me to know my economics and think critically about how to apply it to the simulation. So what if its a waste of time? I've met some great folks on here and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Number 6
Six.
Rod Damon
You all probably have no idea who this guy is. But he keeps us safe. Rod runs the organization none of us know exist, the CIA. I’d tell you what he does specifically, but then I’d have to kill you. Rest assured, he deserves this spot.
He's too secretive to answer my questions.
Number 5
Five.
Woxan
Another respected figure in American politics, Woxan knows it all. He’s been a VP, on the economic council and a presidential candidate. The only thing he just can’t seem to manage is to be President. But he’s not going anywhere. February perhaps?
A Brief History:I started in February, fought the 3 best wars in eRepublik (Taco Bell, Romania v Indo, and then the American invasion) and now float around spreading the wisdom of game mechanics.
Where do you live IRL?:California
What's your name IRL?:Brad
Favorite color?:Green
Favorite food?
How has eRep impacted your life IRL?
Number 4
Four.
Josh Frost
A massive figure in the USA, in the form of a cute kitty cat, Frost has done it all. He is a well respected member of the eUS, and recently broke the news to the eUS that Emerick is no more.
A Brief History: I was born in Colorado. I joined the National Guard and fought in French Toast. I ran for Congress in Colorado. I stopped a Hungarian PTO of Spain, by buying them votes when Scrabman was president. Later I became a Brigadier General in the Airborne and The XO of the Air Force, which I built from the ground up. I defended a lot of countries from PTO and organized the attempted PTO of France.After that I won a congressional seat in Florida and served on term. I was also Emerick's and Gaius Julius's Sec. of Defense. I focues primarily on organizing Resistance Groups during the North American invasion. I later founded ST6 which is one of the most successful privately funded paramilitary squads in the world. I became POTUS and am now the Party President of the USWP.
Where do you live IRL?:Colorado
How old are you IRL?:31
What’s your real name?:Josh
Favorite color?:Blue.
Favorite food?: Prime Rib.
What impact has eRep had on your RL life?: It soaks up a lot of my free and not so free time.
Do you know where Emerick is?:Yes, but I will never tell where he is.
Sadface.
Number 3
Three
Gaius Julius
A titan of a man, Gaius has really done it all. VP, POTUS, JCS...this man keeps America running. Fun Fact: Zoli loves Gaius.
A Brief History:I have done everything from SoS to CJCS to President. I've made my eLife about helping people through my actions. I've met a lot of cool people and they have defined my game experience more than any achievement. You don't expect that you would meet so many cool people on the internet. I have been lucky to get to know these people and they make this game worth playing, despite its horrible bugs.
Where do you live IRL?:I go to college in Virginia, and live in Princeton, NJ when I am on breaks.
How old are you IRL?: Not saying
What’s your RL name?: Only like 5 people know and I like it that way
Favorite color?: Periwinkle is a jawesome color.
Favorite food?: Food would be Pizza
How has eRep affected your RL life?: eRep has allowed me to meet some amazing people from other countries. I have made friends with people like Durruti and Zoli, who I never would have met had I not played this game. This game boils down to community. The people I have met on here have become real life friends. This game has taught me about a lot of RL cultures and countries and the amazing people who live there.
Number 2
Two.
Harlot
First "Harlot attacks without initiative".
Now "Harlot can into space".
It would be a crime if Harlot wasn't on this list. He beats Gaius by his sheer force of personality.
If he said jump, the eUS would.
A Brief History:I get credit for the work of many ppl. I was just good at getting the right ppl in the right job. Then I retired
Where do you live in RL?
How old are you IRL?
What’s your RL name?:Franz Heinrich
Favorite color?:Blue
Favorite food?: pork chops with applesauce
How has eRep impacted your life?
And the number 1 is….
Number 1
One.
Jewitt
VP, POTUS, EC what hasn't this dude done? He's our Jew, and as POTUS is the most Influential.
A Brief History:I started out in Turkish-occupied Jerusalem District, played for a week around 5-15 wellness, and finally got a moving ticket to USA. From there, I became a congressman three days after I hit the level requirements, set many financial and procedural precedents that are still used today, helped manage the Fort Knox issue when Franco/Harrison Richardson sold off all of the money, argued/formed the PANEC tax system we use today, and have acted as Vice President three times and now President twice - being an adviser in some shape or form to every President since Benn Dover.
Where do you live IRL?:Middle Tennessee, USA
How old are you IRL?:20 years old (I'm a youngin'!)
What’s your name IRL?:Matthew, though my friends prefer Levi.
Favorite color?
Favorite food?:anything of Hispanic origin. Not so much Taco Bell, though.
How has eRep impacted your RL life?:Well, I met a really close friend on here that is going to my dream college (Gaius Julius), I have met people from around the world that have given me a grasp of how other cultures really are (DomiBoss, rocker-ma), and it has helped me figure out how to deal with people over a text-based medium (which is much harder than just talking to them face to face!).
Honorable Mentions
Astra kat g
A well respected member of the eUS political body, Astra has sway with congress even when she isn’t in it. She’s one of the people that keep it running, and we should all be grateful. She also has 1,000+ subs to her paper. I’m jealous.
A Brief History:I was eBorn in New Jersey, a bright and inquisitive new citizen who quickly took to the game by browsing the eRep Wiki, asking questions of everyone I met, and stalking the Help Forum on eRepublik's official forums. I was a little too quick of a learner, in fact, and after a couple of weeks of eLife found myself facing accusations of being a certain prominent citizen's multi! Luckily, since then, I was able to prove myself in Congress. After three terms, I retired to pursue other pursuits, having made many good friends.
Where do you live IRL?:Central New Jersey, USA. Rather prefer to not get more specific than that.
How old are you IRL?:26.
What’s your name IRL?
Favorite color?:Green
Favorite food?
How has eRep impacted your RL life?:I keep IRL and eRep separate, but I admit there have been a few times when I was mass-messaging Congress over an important law instead of working! The impact on my free time was one of the reasons I didn't run for Congress again.
Lt. Scheisskopf (Poo head)
It must be noted that having almost 3,000 subscribers is an extremely hard thing to do. Poo Head has a very large and loyal following. He puts out some amazing articles, but misses our list because of not holding any powerful position.
A Brief History:I was born on Day 578, during the downfall of Atlantis and shortly before the PEACE invasion. I mostly two-clicked for a while, and joined the Mobile Infantry just before WW3 started. Since then, I've moved through the MI officer ranks and became a private in the Airborne, where I am now. I briefly served as an Ambassador to eVenezuela and attempted to get an MPP with eVen while eColombia was invading. And during all that time, I have been writing in the Stars and Stripes Journal-- mostly unbiased military-related articles, but I had a series of eRep innovations which I wanted to show the admins.
Where do you live IRL?:I'm just outside of DC, in Silver Spring, Maryland.
How old are you IRL?:I'm 22 and just graduated from college in May.
Favorite color?:Favorite color is Blue
Favorite food?:my food of choice is a good steak or any kind of seafood.
How has eRep impacted your RL life?:eRep has given me something to do after work, and my newspaper is an outlet for me to write about topics that interest me-- different than what often happens at work
Aeros
Another mammoth with a huge amount of subs. That alone makes him a powerful influence.
A Brief History
Where do you live IRL?:I live in the great Commonwealth of Virginia in real life.
How old are you IRL?:I am 23 years old
What’s your name IRL?:My name in real life is classified : )
Favorite color?:My favorite color is green
Favorite food?:My favorite food is Pizza
How has eRep impacted your RL life?:Well, eRep has definitely helped me hone my writing skills, that's for sure. I drive my classmates nuts with my ability to conjure 10 page essay's out of thin air. I'm able to get A's on my English papers without even trying now, which is definitely a big help.
Traditional Quote: Have taken Trier with two divisions. What do you want me to do? Give it back? -Patton
Reply to a message from General Dwight Eisenhower to bypass the German city of Trier because it would take four divisions to capture it
NOTE: Emerick is not included, because he no longer plays eRep.

A Brief History
😕ets see, I was eBorn in the state of Virginia and started writing newspapers as soon as I was able. The North American War definitely gave me much to talk about. My work was noticed by the Army early on and they enlisted me to help in the Public Affairs Office. Later on I would make an attempt to run for congress in Virginia but alas lost the election 12 votes to 7. After that I focused on my military career and work with my newspaper.
Where do you live IRL?:I live in the great Commonwealth of Virginia in real life.
How old are you IRL?:I am 23 years old

True that.
What about me XD
Where the fuck is Emerick?
Great stuff man
NewtonMAXXXX
Who the hell is #6 and where the hell is Emerick? How many people have had both a search party and a fan club with 100+ people?
Thank God you didn't include me on the actual list; I'd feel bad if I had somehow beat out the seven or more people I can name off the top of my head who definitely beat me. XD
Anyhow, thanks for including me! It's an honor! 🙂
P.S. do you think you could correct the spelling of my name? 😉
Who the hell is #6 x2.
Voted.
ffs. this is current influences. emerick is no longer playing.
therefore, he has no influence on current policies.
Rod Damon took over the CIA from the previous director. But I didn't tell you, cos then I'd have to kill you. 😉
Anyhow, that makes him important. Influential, I'm not so sure.
EMERICK?!?!
@ Joe
Jesus is no longer living, does that make him non influential?
Where's Emerick?!
Absolute bullcrap choices.
let me define the influence i was going for.
can they influence a vote tomorrow? a military action?
emerick isn't playing anymore, he has no sway if we wanted to, say, invade indonesia.
Emerick is great, and so are profile pictures. 😃
respect for Jewitt but
HARLOT IS #1
and wtf is emerick??
"Who the hell is #6"
Proves how good Rod is. I lol'd at some of Harlots answers for unknown reasons.
Harlot should have been 1... and 2... and 3... etc.
XD A good list. I agree with it. Certainly all very influential folks. Some would rank them differently, but they're all important figures in the eUS.
Emerick is Great.
i tried to do profile pics. it wouldn't let me.
🙁
Who the hell is number 6 x3 😉
voted
Those are some dang awesome people no matter how you put it.
How did I NOT make this list?
Great list.
Not sure if I would have left out Max McFarland though.
To do profile pics, you would have to find where they reside on the web.
Doing profile pics is pretty darn easy, folks.
I don't know why more people don't think of this, but, seriously...
Just go to someone's profile, click on the image to enlarge it, right-click, scroll down to and left-click on Properties, and then find the URL of said image (it will end in .jpg or something like that), then copy-and-paste it into your article, with the appropriate [img][/img] tags.
It's not brain surgery. 🙂
i did that.
it didnt work.
You're doing it wrong.
(kidding... half)
The URL for my sydiot's pic is: http://static.erepublik.com/uploads/avatars/Citizens/2009/07/16/45fc3bda34ae1901ceea37a68c343566.jpg" target="_blank">http://static.erepublik.com/uploads/avat[..].jpg
That didn't work for you? Cos it just worked for me:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/update-on-usa-s-ongoing-position-in-asia-1144149/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/upda[..]/1/20
Good stuff. Everyone isnt going to agree but thats whats good about it.
Well, I removed sydiot's pic from my article now. Sorry it isn't working for you. For whatever reason. I suggest just clicking on them to get the large versions, saving them to your computer, uploading them to TinyPic and then using image tags on the TinyPic URLs.
miffed at the lack of Max, not even in the honorary mentions 😒
Gaius Julius should be #1, in my opinion. Good list though.
I just want to say that I was supportive of Max McFarland 2 and ligtreb being on this list, personally, but it's his list to do with as he sees fit.
The difference of opinion on this matter is why I'd never do an article like that... I hate it when people are mad at me, lol.
i could have made it longer, because their are more people, yes.
but its already very long.
Missing :
Emerick
Max Mcfarland
Guais Julius should defenetly be #1 of that list 😃
No foolin'?
My favorite color is Holt too!
You left me out.
eBrain Dead citizens can no longer tell us to do things, so... no Emerick on the list. 😛
I think Max could have made the list also!!!
He'd be in my top 10 FOR SURE!!!
NEWTONMAXXXXXX
You forgot Iasov.
I work behind the scenes, like the Illuminati, but nobody knows that, not even the person reading this very sentence.
Voted, however Max McFarland should have had a honorable mention.
ChubbZilla should have been on that list 😃
Gaius Julius should be top, he controls the military, the largest branch of the gov.
#5 is a douche, amirite
Sydiot! o7
EMERICK IS GREAT... and your choices are pretty spot on
ligtreb didn't get at least get honorable mention?

>#5 is a douche, amirite
ur rite, Brad! But at least he has good taste in a favorite color. 😛
