This is part of the Putting it all in perspective range due to title restrictions I shortened the title.

Young Guns

We see them more and more and more. Either be it Oldbhoy Mr Tayto. Mr Bop Natster and countless others a surge of youngsters is hitting our shores.

There is nothing wrong with a surge of youngsters but certainly we have had many bad encounters with the young CYDP, Daniel Plainview it seems some lessons eIreland just cant learn.

You dont appoint a high school graduate 2 weeks in to run your business do you. So why do you want to pull the young to such great heights:



Many moons ago Informit published an article about the topic

"It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of war that can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on."—Sun Tzu, The Art of War

If hacking were black magic, social engineering would be one of the darkest arts of all.

Wait you say there is such people and we continue yes there are

Social Engineers Are High-Tech Con Artists
The art of the con is one of the oldest forms of social engineering. Essentially, con artists try to talk you into doing, buying, or selling stuff that you normally wouldn't. They exploit your confidence in what they're talking about, to their own personal gain. Most cons don't involve anything high-tech at all. But a talented con artist who knows something about networks, computers, and security would be a dangerous individual indeed. These hybrid con artists are popularly known as social engineers.

How do they do it:

Control its not about you being in control they are in control unbeknowst to you. You are the marionette and they the puppet master. The social engineer knows people and the easiest way to manipulate people in eRepublik is to become part of their herd also to attack their common enemies and finally to just spread enough information to make you look useful. When you suggest him becoming deputy minister of Finance that is what he was planning all along hence 7 articles just about the economy.

the social engineer in eRepublik is writing the first time article knowing the game inside out. L I G H T S aka Daniel Plainview is 2 articles into his next target Canada. He started with an article making fun of the brutish by using meme generators and pics. Just like his first article here. He deleted all of his old articles changed his avatar to that of a sexy young girl with a catchy phrase and managed in a very short time to become a congressman.

I maybe wrong about Natster (a reference to napster the first p2p music downloader) has played the game for a few years yes true but he is here a short time now.

Why trust him?



I know why because we cant help ourselves. Look its a new puppy.

Depute Minister of Finance is a very sensitive position you are giving him access to passwords and orgs and money. Yes "high school graduate"

Let a person earn your trust before we push him into higher accolades. He may just be here to rob the place and the more time it takea for him to do it the better off we are.

Assess his knowledge. Natster is noobster when it comes to finances the guy makes basic mistakes such as suggesting a 99% work tax.

Im sorry my assessment of him is as total noob even after he played the game longer than me.

Now we can go and look at others:



How can a person who has played 6 days be appointed Minister of Education and then retain the position for 3 months.

Ireland has a risky youth policy. And it will backfire on them again I can assure you.

Per Capita Intelligence

Lets just say after a couple of interactions with you most of you are daft. There is no fireworks. You are furthermore extremely gullible easiy manipulated and the worst thing of all sheep . I cant respect people who dont question strange things such as:

1. A MOF who keeps all of his money in his bank account for eternity even when trustworthy CP's is appointed.
2. Appointing a youngster to a position of trust merely because he wrote a couple of noobish articles barely even touching the subject.
3. An old campaigner who suspected a CP for 2 terms who after 1 comment he makes now trust him completely and misuses this "trust" to point the finger at innocent players.

Also generally its like you just cant think? Why is that?

Multiple points of fail

Yes a computer term we are introducing multiple points of fail in our government from Appleman keeping the money, to a young MOE to Seanan to Ian Arbuckle MOD Ireland is heading for the Iceberg at a rate of knots.
