A Fresh Start, and Observing eGermany

Good Evening

This is my first article, and as such, is prone to be a mess. With that said...

Main Article

It is good to be writing in English again. I have been living in Spain for the past week or so, and my broken Spanish has been the result of many drunken brawls and the damning of several generations of multiple families. My apologies to those that have been afflicted.

Anyways, until recently I have been in the iron business, and wished to provide eGermany with cheap iron from Spain, as well as the eUS. Though this business proved unsuccessful, I have learned a lot about the "eEconomy" and the politics swirling about in Spain and primarily Germany. Having talked with President Isy of Germany several times, I feel I have a basic grasp on what he wishes to attain with his recent swinging of the Austro-German union into ATLANTIS.

Recognizing that the ATLANTIS powers were more than willing to accept eGermany into their collective, and seeing the immense amount of propaganda and bullying going on by PEACE and their proponents from within and without of the country, Isy must have felt compelled to go to ATLANTIS, regardless of the large amount of flak he would receive because of this, from the media especially.

Now this is just my own personal speculation from my few conversations with Isy about business and politics, but that's why you're reading this, for my view 😛.

This will be very beneficial for eGermany in the long run. As it has been postulated in several articles by some of the more prominent writers, ATLANTIS is the stronger alliance, on just about every level, and will continue to grow and overwhelm PEACE. Because Isy has been able to attain alliances with the eUS and eSpain, as well as several other nations, and did it with efficiency and forethought, he has secured his country's existence, at the very least. Though it is not very safe at the moment, what with rampant Resistance Wars raging, like in Salzburg once PEACE recognizes that eGermany can hold its own with support from its allies, they will have to back off and refocus their efforts against Romania, leaving eGermany alone.

In Other News...

The eUS is hosting war games in Baja with strings attached. It has been said by several insiders in Washington that Baja will have to be given back to Mexico within some timeframe, leaving many wondering whether the eUS will try for a covert Operation Bean Cup.

eRomania is currently resting, if that can ever be said of eRomania, from its major battle with Indonesia over West Siberia, and while it's napping, attacking Iran and dealing with some resistance wars.

Prominent leaders in eJapan are crying fraud over some recent actions over the past week to steal money from their treasury. It was claimed the eRomanians did it (the two congress members who voted for the minor TO are claimed to be eRomanian), but this has been denied by just about the entire nation of eRomania.

eGreece has signed an alliance with the eUS, as has eGermany. eGermany has also signed an alliance with eCroatia, also a new member of ATLANTIS.

That's all the news we have for now. Thank you for reading voting and subscribing.

FULL CIRCLE

I should be writing a paper, but I feel like I'll rub this baby out now.

At the rate things are going I am going to be deleting my account very soon. As a V1 babyboomer, I have seen quite a lot, not counting the times when I was not playing (banned, self-imposed exile, RL, etc), and put up with a lot, as many of you guys have along with me. I already wrote a much longer rant article, but I don't think it is harsh enough. While I was somewhat respecting of the admins there, I've had enough of their bullshit and sheer idiocy to censor myself.

The Issue of Lost Monies

I wrote last time about money I was mysteriously robbed of. The bulk of the transcript as it now exists is in that article, but I would like to add a few recent developments:

Dear Alex,

Thank you for your message! The Gold from your organization - http://economy.erepublik.com/en/accounts/2017561 - was removed by us.

At the time when contract were still valid, the mentioned organization has been involved in multiple contracts which were not respected. In order to recover the Gold lost by the involved parties, it was removed from your organization.

Best regards and happy gaming moments,
Your eRepublik team

I was unbanned and got my org unbanned on the SPECIFIC rationale that I would return gold to all the depositors who had lost money as a result of the org being banned, which was done; I returned around 200 gold to former investors. How can I prove this? Well, I can't, because you can't see donation logs anymore. Take that as you will.

I find it comical though that it took them around 5 months to tell me they had stolen my gold. I'll leave it at that.

The Issue of Censorship



Fill in the blank!

"__________ is a political system where the state, usually under the power of a single political person, faction, or class, recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible."

3 famous points for "Thou shall not contaminate the New World with filth such as External advertising, Spam,Insults, Pornography, Vulgarity or Racism.
Content type: Article
Reason: Public debates"

Because everyone knows free speech and public debates are filth.


The Issue of Game Mechanics

They fucking suck.

Closing

Play this game at your own peril. There are few if any games that have actually DEVOLVED over time, but erepublik has shown me even that is possible. We have gone from the epic wars of PEACE v Atlantis to pointless wars with countries we have no incentive to wage war against. The spirit of the game is gone.
