Looks like I came back in the middle of an Ajay Bruno news cycle. The Ajay "Baw, my party got PTO'd" article is currently in the top 5. The "EMERGENCY: We must stop Ajay and PTO his party" article just fell out of it due to it being over 2 days old. I sadly read these articles and their comments. I lol'd at Ajay's, I sighed heavily at the emergency article, and sighed even more when I read both article's comments. There's the people who apparently haven't been around enough to see Ajay in his full glory. I know Cromstar wrote an article about this about a year ago, but you know what, it's time to write another one so the present day new players can learn treachery, villainy, and lulzery that is Ajay Bruno, Winston L.S. Churchill, Pizza The Hut and Pizza the Hut 2.

I must add that all of the following comments are factual. None of it has been exaggerated, and none of this should be considered insults, flaming, or racism. (Even though I've been called all 3 before!) Any comments that follow this article that were not posted by the article's author are not his opinion.

The Ajay Bruno Saga
Way back in the day, during the Scrabman Presidency of May 2009, a member of the then-Conservative Party contacted me about my Presidential Run for June 2009. His name was Ajay Bruno. This individual seemed sincere in his dislike for Scrabman, and very sincere in his want for bringing in Real Life conservative policies to eRepublik. I sent him a message saying something to the extent that Real Life policies don't really carry over to eRep, but I would bring in a different mindset from Scrabman. I brought this message up in my campaign room and one of my staff members, Tiacha, warned me that she knew an Ajay Bruno in real life, and that he was dangerous and had stalked members of a university and that he had been expelled or removed from said university. She also said that I should probably cease all contact with him. I said ok, shook my head and said "Wow, that's a small world".

A few weeks later the Conservative Party President told me that I had all but won their primary, but a player named Ajay Bruno was doing quite well in their poll. He said that he had PM'd the entire party about his intent to run, and they were investigating his votes. Later he told me that inactive members, people who hadn't worked or trained in weeks, were voting for Ajay and that they were throwing out the votes. I had won that primary and it made me happy. I was told a day or so later by the Libertarians that something similar had happened. My main advocates, the Federalists and Nationalist Parties weren't in the top 5, but they had not heard anything about this. When I talked to the AAP, the only other party to hold a party wide election, they informed me Scrabman won, but Ajay has also received "inactive" votes. This is the first sighting of Ajay among the major parties and no one knew what was going on. Ajay later wrote an article about how the Conservative Party wronged him in picking me and throwing out the votes for him. He claimed it was a conspiracy, and that he worked hard for those votes. Lulz were had, Forfeit Points were handed out to some of the more insulting lulzhavers, and funtimes were on.

A month or so later, he ran for Party President in the Conservative Party. The Libertarians, who weren't having a "real" election because their PP was going to win in a landslide, asked voters if they wanted they could move over to the Conservative Party to knock down Ajay and vote in Mattoze5. Ajay again wrote how he was wronged, and how other parties shouldn't interfere in Conservative Party elections. Well that was fun, and more lulz were had. Ajay then went to create the Conservative Victory Party or CvVP. I thought that was funny, since Ajay spent 40 gold to make it.

So a few months later the CvVP was gaining popularity, new players were constantly PM'd by Ajay and they joined his party. The popularity of the party was troubling to some, and funny to others. A group who thought it was both decided to PTO his party for fun. One of the members of his party was elected to congress and had allowed a lot of non-US allied people into the country via citizenship, and the alien members also joined the CvVP. The PTO efforts were successful, the country was claimed to be safe, and a blacklist of people who had supported Ajay was created. Then Ajay went to South Africa. There he tried his antics on the South Africans, and even spewed some pretty hateful and racists things, the kind of stuff that would make Nelson Mandela angry. He would later be banned in South Africa for administering multiple accounts. This claim was made while he was in the USA, it continued when he went to South Africa, and it was finally realized by administrators of eRepublik. Along with Ajay many accounts in his party in South Africa and the USA were banned. They were suspected as being Ajay's accounts.

A few days later a character named Winston L. S. Churchill was eBorn in the United Kingdom.

Do you want to go back and listen to old FRTW episodes? I do. Click here to do it. If you wane me to bring it back I might. But who knows or cares that's not what this article is about.
