It's Gotta Be EZC
Gnilraps
We’re All Mad Here (Mandatory listening)
Day 2776 of the New World
June 27, 2015
WARNING: What you are about to read is 100% pure Easy Company propaganda. My goal is to make you so jealous of EZC awesomeness that you are compelled to flee from whatever MU you might currently be serving and flock to our ranks.
EZC is expanding once more.
PERSONAL NOTE FROM GNILRAPS
When I designed our current commune system which has been so flatteringly emulated elsewhere, I designed something that would be easily scalable. “Scalable?” you say??? Yes. What I mean is that our system is designed in such a way that our members enjoy great benefits without making it necessary for our leadership to keep sinking Gold into keeping things running. And so even though all of our membership receives a free house each week, a very decent wage with unlimited overtime pay, 50% discount on all Q7 weapons, and many other benefits, we are able to keep this running without any additional Gold investment. Why is this important? It means that EZC is committed to being this good for the long haul. We will not poop out because we lose interest in spending RL cash on running an MU (anyone remember PG?). This is why our people join and stay. And that is why I believe our community of eReppers is the best community in eRep.
And so all of this to say that we can grow. We want to grow. And that more members will not mean fewer resources per member. So BRING IT ON.
OK, so I’ve polled a bunch of our people to find out what it is about Easy Company that makes them so glad to be a part of what we do. I’ve done very little filtering here. If you are in a Military Unit that shares some of these characteristics, please don’t feel like this is an attack against you. This is simply reflective of the pride our members feel about being so damned good. Note: I have edited (sometimes heavily) the responses for grammar and readability.
Question: What’s there to love about Easy Company?
Answers:
1 - I love it that we are not required to fill in forms or check in via IRC in order to qualify for our weekly income. My salary simply appears in my alerts every Sunday like clockwork. I’ve been here longer than most and there has not been a single week when my salary drop has been late.
2 - I run a lot of houses, all 5 at once. Before EZC started its commune, it was not always possible to find an employer who would let me work the maximum number of overtimes, so I had a lot of OT saved up. When I came to EZC, I started working as much as possible. I almost expected them to complain and give me sh*t about how much cash I was making. Instead, they simply paid me for every work click I logged. This MU is awesome.
3 - Perhaps it’s because our leaders are such big fans of playing eRepublik, I don’t know. But they always seem to have an EZC contest right when I want something new to keep me interested. They always respond to what Plato is doing in game by developing an EZC thing to coincide with it. I feel like EZC is so perfectly in tune with the eRepublik I play that I can’t imagine enjoying this game as much without EZC. I’m EZC forever.
4 - When I was in {edit: my previous MU} everyone kept talking about the community, but there actually wasn’t much of one. It was all talk. In EZC it isn’t all talk. Our Forum is fun, our chat wall in eRepublik is 10x more active than my last MU, and my mates actually converse with me in ingame PM conversations. I feel like EZC membership actually means something.
5 - When they introduced EZA, I thought maybe it wouldn’t last. How can they keep paying me above market wage plus give me 50% discount? But they do it. And also the runners {edit: we call our tank suppliers “tank runners”} are incredibly fast. I have never ever run out of tanks ever. Whatever Deepchill and his crew are up to, it is incredible.
6 - As someone who hails from one of the more “alternative” political parties in eUSA, I can honestly say that the EZC climate is absolutely diverse in the best possible way. I know for a fact that my fellow members vote differently than I do, and nobody in EZC ever cares about that. Our leaders seem to have committed to the concept of a completely non-Political Military Unit, and rather than use that as a marketing tool to their political advantage, they actually live it. I have not felt this much respect from any other eRepublik “community”.
7 - 50% discount on tanks. What can I say? Not only do they pay me more than the job market, but I get my tanks at half off. I can guarantee you that I would not be where I am without EZC.
8 - For me, the best thing about EZC is the fact that I absolutely know that EZC is loyal to the USA and whatever battle priorities the congress and president decide on. I don’t always think that other Military Units are willing to fight hard regardless of where except for USAF. I feel like we are the true brothers of USAF in that we are always side by side with them. I am not a real life USA citizen, I am RL {edited}. When USA declared its war against {edit: my RL home country}, I hit it hard. Why? I am sorry my {RL} brothers, but I hit it hard because I am EZC first and always in this game. I am a citizen of eUSA and I know that EZC is eUSA.
9 - I know I am one of the big tanks in EZC. The fact is, they make it possible for me to do it. But I never feel like they own me. Because they pay me and I buy the tanks at a discount, I still feel like I am in control of my account and my destiny. I choose to be EZC, I’m not simply stuck here because they are throwing tanks at me.
10 - I respect EZC because EZC respects me.
11 - I have no idea how long EZC has been around, but I feel like they must be the oldest MU in the game. I feel like I am part of history because I wear this uniform. I feel like the EZC uniform is instant respect.
12 - I don’t know if you want me to say this, but the thing I appreciated the most is that when I wanted to leave EZC to help my RL country in a Dictatorship battle, you were like, “no problem, see you when you return”. Thanks for being the best bunch of people in this game.
I’ve skipped the responses that mention particular individuals in leadership because I don’t want this to be an ego stroke article. I want you to read this and get the picture that no matter how great you might think it is in EZC, it’s actually at least that great and probably better.
So.
Before I get to the part where I mention that if you join within the next 10 minutes I’ll throw in this awesome set of steak knives…
Let me just invite you to give us a try.
If eRepublik has seemed… dry lately.
If Plato has given you the blues.
If your MU is anything less than what you wish an MU could be.
or just because…
Join Easy Company today.

And make your eRepublik experience all it can be.
And as a post script: that badass ezc image you see at the top of this article? One of our members just made it and posted it in our chat thread because… well because he just wanted to. I love it when stuff like that happens.

I didnt like in parrticular this sentence at number 8 " I am not a real life USA citizen, I am RL {edited}. When USA declared its war against {edit: my RL home country}, I hit it hard. Why? I am sorry my Albanian brothers, but I hit it hard because I am EZC first and always in this game", and i hope it is not true that some albanian in real life has hi hard against its country.
nice article in general as always from this side on...Currahee
I don't know what that guy meant. I don't remember eUSA warring Albania. ^_~
looks like an phrase example
On the contrary, I find it so refreshing when people are not influenced by RL circumstances.

CURRAHEE !
EZC has quality people who promote community. Lots of respect for Deepchill and co

EZC gave me reasons to keep playing and fighting when I thought I was done (OK, at least one EZC officer had some influence ❤ ). When I thought I had no more community, I found one in EZC. The supply system is awesome, but it is the people of EZC who make it worth staying.
CURRAHEE!
😉 And don't feel bad if you missed the steak knives. It's still worth clicking on that link and signing up.
I approve this message.
EZC is the only reason for playing this game.
Wanted to leave a while ago. But they kept me e-alive.
CURRAHEE !!!!

NEEDS MORE GREELING!!!
I could say a lot here, but let me just say this, when circumstance forced my hand DeepChill and Gnilraps understood and wished me well in my endeavors. I loved my time in Easy Company Militia and without a doubt they are America's Military Deterrent.
Blatant Self Promotion!
Join the Bear Cavalry!

Voted,I Endorse this message and would like to take a moment to ask you, yes you, to consider joining the best militia you will ever have. I found my erep family, did you? This is by far the best organized MU and structure, the fun begins now for you... join now. It's simple be there or be square!
Currahee!!
Voted for community!
EZC is pretty much the only reason I still log in and click. Give us a try, you might just find a home.
Currahee!
EZC is the reason I came out of my shell and got into Meta at all. Without EZC, I would have quit the game over two years ago.
Before EZC, there was nothing. It was not until I found EZC that I learned the game was not full of only assholes.
I, also, will attest that they are great about community and understanding. I have had to ask for leave three times in my time with them (to take care of obligations to other MUs), each of the first two times I was welcomed back as if I had never been gone. I know I will be again when I return home the third time.
It's gotta be EZC.
CURRAHEE
EZC keeps me alive. It can do it for you.
CURRAHEE!
sounds like a cult.......... where is the Kool-Aid?
We have many varieties of special kool-aid, along with an open bar, but they're members only, of course. 🙂
I'm proud to read the article.
CURRAHEE
Now, where are my steak knives?
This is a vote.

CURRAHEE !

Talk about community:

EZC the best place to be as young and 'small' player, very good trainning program.

CURRAHEE
I love EZC because it doesn't have some super complicated requirements or daily tasks or even IRC requirement, EZC has a lot of content (showing of force, giveaways, benefits for reading daily briefing 😮 and a lot more)
Its a easy going MU that can be a nice place for 2 clicker and a super active member.
Easy going (the name says it Easy Company) but still one of the TOP MU's in eWorld how great is that?
Its awesome i know! So join us today and ride easy with easy 🙂
Currahee!!!
Simply, great leadership, friendly people, best organization in erep.
EZC is the reason I am still playing this game, PERIOD.
A REAL COMMENT
no EZC isn't a MU, its a community.
Simply the best MU and an honour to being a member of, great leadership, friendship and no pressure whatsoever, you can 2 click or fight all day long you are treated with the same courtesy , its the only reason i'm still playing erep.
EZC is very supportive of its members. From the weekly salaries, the tank program, the forum contests and giveaways to the periodic mass attacks, everything is designed around member input and participation and rewarding members for same (both financially and in terms of recognition).
EZC is an epic community, who helps each other out and who want the best for eUSA and allies. I like how everbody is helping each other out when needed.
I've been with EZC from day one and have never felt the urge to go anywhere else.
Currahee, y'all.
I am so proud of to be part of EZC.
Very supportive, well organized, friendly environment, never felt alone.
Thank you EZC.

EZC is definitly the best military unit that I've been in.
CURRAHEE! o7
