Nui04 Takes the Helm as USAF Operations Commander
CoSecMeds Custer & Melissa Rose
With Dave Gulya stepping down to pursue Party-related duties, Secretary of Defense DMJohnston has appointed Nui04 to assume the position of USAF Ops Commander.
While the President holds the formal position of Commander-In-Chief, the Ops Com oversees the day-to-day function of all United States Armed Forces (USAF) branches.
Nui04 has been with the USAF over four years, mostly serving as Quartermaster. As Ops Com Nui04 intends to find innovative ways to add spark to the community of soldiers under his command, including running more competitive tournaments.
Asked if there is any one thing that every soldier under his command should know by heart and never forget, Commander Nui04 growled, "Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you! I double dare you, motherfu-ker, say ‘what’ one more Goddamn time!"
Top WTF Moments in eRep History (Part I)
Senior White House Correspondent Azazel Romanov
eRep has had a lot of crazy moments, and eUS history in particular is rich in a lot of WTF moments happening. Here’s a recap of some of the best WTF moments in eRep History, a lot of them to do with the eUS itself.
I’ll stick mostly to more recent history so people know what’s going on, but I’m old enough to remember some Glorious Failures (no pun intended). Be sure to read the linked articles for the full stories!
And now, in no particular order... full on face palm What the F...?!
: 1: Glorious Failure’s Rage Quit, or GF Day: Basically, a community moderator opened up his account-- passwords and all-- which resulted in the banning of multiple international players, including Admin himself. Presidents, Tanks, Gold Beasts, basically no one was safe. July 1st is celebrated as “GF Day”, the day virtually the whole world was banned. Well, at least the important people.
: 2: Free Area’s PTO of AMP: Best summarized in John Killah’s article . Free Area went deep undercover, gained the trust of the AMP, then turned and PTO’d them. This event enraged the nation and essentially sparked an all-out war with Serbia and widened the CoT-TWO conflict. This was most successful act of Serbian PTO in America, and one of the most consequential as well. Valiant Thor later PTO’d WTP in much the same manner, but that had nowhere near the impact of Free Area’s actions.
: 3: That time John Jay almost handed Ajay/RGR the Presidency: The Unity-era national primaries had decided that fingerguns would be the next President. John Jay didn’t like this and almost stayed on the ballot, which would have likely split the vote enough for AFA to win the presidency. This was probably one of the premiere Unity controversies that a lot of people don’t really know about.
: 4: Harrison Richardson / thisgenmedia, the President on two accounts: Detailed by HR himself, this man is so far the only known (I suppose) President elected on two different accounts under two different personas. After going out in a blaze of glory as thisgenmedia (aka Franco), HR comes back to be legitimate player and again win the Presidency. Just goes to show that you can steal the whole Treasury and the country will still re-elect you… but only if you’re Harrison Richardson.
: 5: That time we almost joined the same alliance as Serbia: Buried deep in the forum archives you can find Myles Robinson discussing how we almost joined Phoenix, the predecessor to ONE, TWO, and Asteria. This kind of thinking would be, well, unthinkable right now with our current mindset against Serbia. Imagine how much everything would be different right now had Woxan taken a different path.
If you all enjoyed this, we have a few more WTF Moments up our sleeves and we’ll do it again.
War Maps & Analysis
War Correspondent Alexander_Auctorias
Up in Scandinavia, we see Lithuania and Sweden working on each other. It used to be a multi-front war for Sweden, but Russia's has ended. Lithuania has the upper hand, currently, after winning four battles in a row. They should win Smaland, as well, reducing Sweden to just five regions. Estonia continues to give Finland trouble, winning eight of the last ten battles. They are about to attack, and Finland is down to five regions.
Slovenia declared war on Croatia but lost the initial and ensuing battle. Croatia is now about to attack. If memory serves, Croatia might have an NAP with Serbia, so she may be able to run right through Slovenia. I'm not sure how close the battles were, but Croatia should be able to dominate.
The Republic of China (Taiwan) is cleaning things up a bit in South Korea. I'm guessing either they reset determination or allowed SK to have Congress, but either way, this will be wrapped up as quickly as they can open the battles.
South of the border, our brothers in Mexico are getting beat up a bit. Colombia has won the first two battles in the war, and will win in NorthWest of Mexico. Mexico only has four regions left. It might be better to just let them wipe and RW back safely. We'll see what happens. Stay tuned.
North of the border, we will continue to help the UK wipe Canada off the map. The eUK has won nine of ten battles, and will win in Yukon. Canada is at eight regions, and I really doubt that the UK can wipe them, but its a really fun war.
Last but not least, The USA is getting back to work on its regions in Japan. This should allow us to get our trade route back to our holdings in North Korea.
Viva 100/100 bonuses. Kudos to the State and Defense Departments for their tireless work.
Keep clicking and Keep Shaking that A**.

I like how I can vote these and then start reading. Quality is not even a question here.
Also, nice work on the WTF moments section, NewAz. Do you really have enough for another? Seems like you caught most of the really good ones in the first batch. Either way though, I like historical tidbits like that, and sadly, that seems like something we've been short on with the decline in population. It would be nice to see more historical perspective pieces.
I love the idea of historical perspective pieces. The game is dying and really all we have is our history to look at for those great fun moments. These are the things that have kept us playing and imho are important to remember.
sure, RaccoonGoon.. I have two more WTF Moments, right off the top of my pointy little head, toward the next set.
All hail the glorious Nui04 o7

"Taiwan is cleaning things up a bit in South Korea. I'm guessing either they reset determination or allowed SK to have Congress"
Don´t you know that South Korea has a rental agreement with Switzerland leasing there two regions and that therefor South Korea´s congress is secured?
A group of mercenaries, from Chili, have asked me to help, but they didn't mention anything about the rental agreement.
I did not know that, which is why i was guessing. Thanks for the heads up.
All hail the glorious Nui04 o7

Your Media Team Rocks it for YOU!
The chat log of Fluffer flipping out at John Jay scared that I would win was pretty hilarious.
Anyway, BOO at you people for having zero sense of humor and not letting me have a threeway with JJ and FG 🙁
Also, Oblige admitted to having hordes of "multis that look like real players".... and he gets to be CP again? Seems legit....
Having to cheat to retain control of a virtual country makes you a pathetic loser, and a sore one at that.
Cheating in a failed attempt to gain control of a virtual country makes you even more of a pathetic loser then, no?
Not really? I never cheated.
lol how many times have you been permabanned? 6?
on main accounts? three? only the first time was justified. Others were BS
All hail the glorious Nui04 o7

about damn time. so proud
I like this
"Valiant Thor later PTO’d WTP in much the same manner, but that had nowhere near the impact of Free Area’s actions."
The actions of Valiant Thor brought the following into being: having a real opposition (not controlled by the elitist power-circles) The Black Sheep party & their representatives in eUS Congress after a long time of Unity crap. I would call that a pretty big impact.
Next WTF moments have to include:
Glove's attempted MPP with Serbia in that tournament thing
Valiant Thor freaking out
