The EZC Split.
Duncan Crowe
"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live."
When I joined Easy Company, roughly 5 months ago, I had full confidence that their leadership would be able to lead me throughout my eRepublik life and that I would never have to worry about them making the wrong decision, or anything of that sort.
So, when I woke up this morning, I was shocked to learn that EZC had declared their independence and that Gnilraps already had an article up about the issue.
As many of you might know, I am a bit of a Fed. forum spammer and a very active member of the Federalist leadership. So, wouldn't it be logical that I would know of this before it happened?? Well, the truth is that I had no idea that this could ever happen in the near future, and I'm sure almost everyone in EZC and the Feds shares my opinion.
Because no article was raised beforehand.
Because no forum topic was raised beforehand.
Because no EZC Command member talked to me about it beforehand.
Because there were no poals beforehand.
To be honest, I expected more from the EZC Command team and expected them to actually value the opinions of Fed and EZC members. But, to be brutally honest, this was a decision purely by the EZC Command .
The fact that they couldn't be satified staying Fed.party affiliated and recruiting Feds. saddens me. EZC Command wants more power to recruit everyone, and refused to inform anyone of their intentions beforehand. And that's a MU I can no longer be in. Note that I hold no hard feelings towards EZC members and wish them the best of luck. But I cannot be in a MU led by this type of command team, regardless of who made the decision.
It's not the fact that they left. It's the fact that wanted more, and didn't care about the opinions of their members in the process. So, somberly, I will consider leaving the EZC as soon as I find a viable option. I wish them the best of luck .
Respectfully yours,

that feel....it hurts.
Old, Gold Buying players making decisions without asking anyone, or caring about their opinion? Why is this such a surprise? This is eAmerica, did you all forget?
I know that feel.
Puppets have no feelings!

I feel betrayed.
Hahahahaha...!
Don't soil your pants.

Yeah this is a good point

This whole situation just sucks.
It really does. I'm torn on rather to stay or go. It makes sense I just think they didn't handle it properly. It's a little disheartening as a proud fed and EZC soldier.
p/h v+s
I'd rather stay connected to the Feds, as an old ass player of this game, I would prefer to stay in the Federalist Party's Easy Company, rather than be unhappy in an un-p/h EZC.
This makes me sadface
Well no one is really forcing anyone to choose between the Feds and EZC. It just feels like that because of how poorly they handled this.
That said, I've been getting a lot of offers today from other MUs lol
Makes me feel special.
Praetorian Guards will accept any EZC member as a Standard Member in Praetorian Guards without question: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/praetorian-guards-10-gold-per-week-for-elite-fighters-2225284/1/20
I could get 2 extra q7 tanks but I chose stay in EZC because it's a better community despite this mess-up.
Well that was a dumb idea
Its unfortunate and as on oldfag EZC member I have left also due to the way this was handled. I know it makes no difference, but I am sadden as well. Change can be hard especially when it comes out of nowhere, however, I will move on.
I will certainly miss having you Talio.
I'll miss you Talio
i too have decided to move on
I'm not even in EZC any more but this even makes me sad 🙁

There's room in the Black Sheep too. We have some feds in our group too.
^ Posted correctly this time.
DC: I am so much in agreement with your point. Wrote following comment in 16 Shells
"Poorly handled this". No communication or discussion before-hand can be interpreted as arrogance and high-handedness; as an elite making the decisions for "their" plebeian minions. I do not doubt the good reasons for this move. Do you doubt the anger and dismay occasioned, NOT by the decision itself, but by the bland announcement from your betters that this is how it will be, f*** you if you can't take a joke. Elitism as a real issue in-game is probably a few jerks jerking. Anti-elitism as rage against those who blindsided the player with a bunch of BS (and BS is what any reasonable action becomes if it is a shocking surprise) is alive and well.

Suck it up and move on.
why does he need to suck it up o.o
EZC has a weird way of making people mad in RL... also a weird way of abusing/using people to certain extents then declaer them unfit or something.... at least you left willingly 😣
How does EZC make people mad in RL? Also curious how they use and abuse people, I have never heard this.
He's just still butt hurt over Gnilraps destroying his character cause he wouldnt follow ezc orders. He's got a little grudge against Gnilraps and he's a little too childish to let it go.
Gnil spoke of Punching me on some radio show 😣 so who is the child here hahaha. in any case , I was EZC XO for more than half a year, did everything for the unit, started giveaway programs, made War Games, been a QM for almost a year, GQM for half that, etc. so yeah, they used me, then took away my pride and joy I created myself, the 11th regiment a.k.a The Cannon Cockers. a handfull of my teammates helped me in making C4, and now we rock. its just sad to see EZC deteriorate in this manner
Duncs, you and any others who wish to move across are welcome to come to UM
you mean D4 people ?? in that case I extend the same offer to any NON D4 people to come to Cannon Cockers ( C4 )
Send me an invite...
so, easy company will announce their "declaration of independence"?
well, however this thing gonna play up eventually, i hope you all the best.
Again the only thing the 'Loyalist' are upset about is that they weren't consulted. I guess the old adage of 'Once a Politician, always a Politician' remains true....
Needs moar poals! 🙂

Why the offers to move to another MU?
Why would anyone want to leave EZC under this new circumstances?
When I was joining EZC they did not ask me to join the Feds.
Crocodile tears...
FAIL!
I think you should consider this may be good for the Feds. I was a longtime Fed member who left. I felt that not being a member of EZC would hurt any chance for me to do anything party related.
As someone who never was really in EZC I totally understand where this is coming from
