Hello everyone
I recently discovered that I missed my 3rd e-birthday. I believe that one must reassess one’s goals in a game like eRepublik. eRepublik is possibly one of the most complex MMOs that exist, and the fact that players greatly influence the forming of communities and the waging of wars and politics proves just that. However, this game has unfortunately fallen victim to a great deal of elitism and cheating through its “pay to win” principles.
eRepublik has embittered many of my e-friends, and myself. We've walked a long path of unnecessary hardship and Lazocracy may very well be the nail in the coffin. Our greedy adversary, Argentina, will be there to oppress us even if we manage to become sovereign again.
Where to then? There are talks of emigrating, staying and surrendering. It is easier said than done though. A new challenge arises with each choice. We’ll have to leave the past behind and unite like we’ve never united before. If we stay, we’ll have to convince people to stay and to integrate into our community. If we emigrate, we’ll have to conform to new standards and e-cultures. If we surrender…we’ll be mere servants of an army of cheaters.
Here I've mentioned three choices, but we need more than choice. We need a vision. We need an adventure. I’d like to say that we mustn't continue saying “if”, but that we’ll have the certainty to say “when”. In our current circumstances, we’re useless. There are good communities in the e-world that may accommodate us. If we stay, we’ll have to see our struggle in a new light. There is no more use for a 2-clicker. They never fight when we need them to fight and they rarely vote on weekends. We’ll have to think more radically if we want to represent anything close to a resistance movement.
Let’s start thinking of a destination, because our time is running out.

I'm not leaving eSA, it's my home. I for one plan to stay.
I agree with you on one thing Wil. 2-clickers are effing useless! They're a drain on those that are trying to do something here. They should just shrivel up and die!
That is my preference as well, but one has to consider the strength of the community, and as it stands right now, no one is motivated to fight anymore.
I wish people would at least read articles, so that we can encourage and motivate them, but they don't even go that far.
I read the article and I am very motivated o7
Well there's nothing we can do about that except reward the active players and build the next generation. It's going to take time and I'm wiling to wait for that day.
If you're active you get supplies, if you're active you get promoted, if you're active you make congress, etc.
No 1 problem is low activity, and then to kill our community even further we reward inactive eBallies and watch how they mess things up. Let the newer players have a go. What is there to lose??
I totally agree that inactivity and 2-clickers is the biggest problem in eSA, and that activity should be encouraged and required for supplies, congress seats, etc. But it will probably never happen. I tried but failed. Even active players resisted this.
Actually the major problem is being PTOed and also being wiped with no way out. That will kill any nations community and it only gets worse the longer it goes. I have seen it time and time again. The best option is to completely ignore the PTOers, don't communicate with them in anyway, no matter what the provocation and do the same with the states oppressors. Eventually they get bored when they don't get a reaction and just drift away or leave.
give this man a bells
I'm a very old player and most of that as an eAussie, its happened to use on a regular basis, works everytime, just takes a lilttle bit of time of no reaction and they get bored and move on.
This is Sparta, one option.
I agree 100% with Saffa
Yeah! eSA is my home! WOOT WOOT!!! o7
Verbatim.
