Back in action but a bit disappointed

Day 2,441, 23:06 Published in Australia Argentina by Nathan Aus

G'day all. Yes I'm back in the game. Taking the advice of the legendary players in eAussie land, I decided to keep an interest. I signed in to find that our fighting forces have been engaged in Australian battles and fighting for our liberation. Bloody bonza work!

Count me in on this shindig and let's crack open a tinnie or three as we lock and load for our freedom in the great southern land we call home on the computer.

Some might think I'm greasing the weasel in what looks like a bit of drama started up, but sometimes I've discovered an outside view helps. I don't know a lot about the people involved. I've got to know some of them in chitty chats during my time here in between sojourns and what not. Maybe it will help and maybe it will cause a stir? It's still important to think outside the box.

Here's what I'm getting out of it.

There's a bit of curry being stirred up regarding our Party President, Bree K (formerly known as bk83). I'll go on record straight from the gate in a bit of personal defence for bk as she has been nothing but genuine with me and a good sport. I believe in being straight with people so I will understand if some view that as bias.

I'll say the same of top bloke Dr Hugh Jardon, a real gent and fair dinkum knock around bloke. Top fella. Miss Claire is also someone I have deep respect for and is a sweet lass.

BOUD1CCA is a good online mate and we've had a few exchanges in the chat comments on articles and such. Real friendly.

Keeping it short I'm glad to know them all and I don't mean to be disrespectful in what seems to be a bit of personal history. I have no intention of opening that can of baked beans.

What is before us all is a bunch of thoughts surrounding bk and a lot of them follow this bloke called Mick Gatto. I've never seen this fella in the game and if I am reading this right the drama everyone is talking about occurred long ago. If it has been recent it happened behind closed doors where I haven't seen it.

So to set the direction I'm going with this I couldn't give a cat's whiskers what happened with this Gatto bloke. I'm restricting my comments to the here and now.

I've been going through the articles over the last couple of weeks. All has seemed to be quiet up until 2 days ago when a fella named An Australian Man wrote an article saying Gatto and bk are the same person. He listed some reasons why he thought so and I'll play the fiddle along with the chorus it does have a lot of coincidence.

I've also been reading the comments on the other articles including bk's and Molly's and Schoft's. For the most part An Australian Man's is the article in question where the others just hint a whiff.

Here's the part where I put thought to paper and make some observations.

* Have to be brutally honest I couldn't care less if bk used someone else's picture. The internet is a playhouse to be anyone you want to be. I wager very few of us use our real names. I mention my first name (Nathan) for a bit of human contact but I would never use my last. Looking at some other names people use they're made up as well as their piccies.

* bk hasn't appeared to have done anything or said anything in the media that I have seen that could give anybody reason to come after her. With all due respect, it stinks of a witch hunt more than an honest search for the truth. The challenge has been put to take the matter up with the game owners and so far there has been demurring.

If this was me with the curry I wouldn't be writing an article asking a girl to get on cam for jollies. I'd be writing an email to the game owners with what I have and asking them to do whatever it is they do.

I took a bit of time last night and later today during a lunch break to go over this again in detail and try to work out what is the accusation against bk. All I can find under eRepublik game rules is pinching someone for having a multiple account. As of yet there is nothing concrete and only the people who run the game will be able to work it out. If she needs to change her picture to something else that can be worked out without a fuss.

Being realistic about this business let's take a breath and look at this logically.

An Australian Man and Infowar need to follow through on this and report bk. It will then be up to the game to determine whether or not she is using the same computer to make more than one account.

As for the rest of it I have to be honest is personal crap between players. If you all can't get on my suggestion is to go your own ways and play the game and don't sit in each other's pockets. I got respect for everyone in Australia that includes bk and An Australian Man, Infowar, Dr Hugh, Miss Claire, BOUD1CCA and everyone else.

I do believe though this has been taken a bit too far in the public eye and the complaint should have just been made. Gang mentalities are on the nose and when all is done it's up to the game owners not a few numpties with nails in their boots.

That's my chapter written. I take cheque or money order and Random House are free to make me an offer for my story he.

Now where were we? Fight for Australia! You have all been doing that and this dung heap has been distracting from the work. Start working together if you love this country.

Cheers

Nathan
