[CP of eJapan] Public Announcement
BastovanSurcinski
I am writing this article as the president of eJapan, as I believe that some things should be known to the public. This might get to be a longer article, brace yourselves.
Српска верзија испод.
I need to explain why I had gone for the president and why am I still on this position.
THE BEGINNING OF AN UGLY STORY
As you might already know, Ceda.mj, at the times one of the two strongest accounts in eJapan, alongside with Bozimano Dorks, was being used by a couple of people. At one point, a sum of ~15k gold and an unknown number of resources went missing from that account. The account was reset, but the credentials were returned to the same people that had them: Bozimano Dorks and The Black Raven. After that, The Black Raven is taking ~14 million cc from the two government orgs (as we later on found out from a third party), Bank of eJapan and Nihon no Koe. Ceda.mj account has been reset for the n-th time in a row and is now in 2-click mode.
As for the money, Ceda.mj never received anything back. Where that money had went and were there any consequences - we still do not know and we probably never will.
MY CANDIDACY
After all those events, even though I never was into politics, not even congress, I decided to take over to stop money from disappearing and to try settling things down between our people. The first one I have achieved, the second one - the greatest failure so far. Now everyone is fighting with everyone. But more on that later.
BACK TO THE MAIN STORY - AN UNPAID DEBT
During his rule over eJapan, The Black Raven took a loan of 3 mil cc from the state for his own needs. Due to the lack of trust that the community had had towards him, Bozimano Dorks donates 2k gold to the treasury to guarantee for the return of Raven's debt. The money is still to be returned by Raven, after which a sum of 400k cc will be transferred back to Bozimano.
I say 400k because the only way to extract gold from the treasury is through the law for issuing cc, which uses a static gold rate of 200cc.
MORE MONEY INTRIGUES
Later on, as there were numerous fights between all of us, Bozimano Dorks was accused by Argangellord that he is being held responsible for the 14kk that went missing from the two orgs since Bozimano had vouched for Raven and his sincerity and honesty. Out of anger he transferred 30k gold to the treasury to "compensate" for the money missing and stops communicating with everyone from the Serbian community. The irony took it's toll and the money was returned by the admins back to the orgs on that same evening.
Because of that I will propose a law to have all that money converted into cc and have it returned back to Bozimano. That will make 6mil cc by the static exchange rate that the game is offering. The money will be transferred from the org Bank of eJapan, while the cc will remain on the treasury.
THE FOLLOWING ELECTIONS
Before I took over, I had only one condition - that I alone be the only one with access to the country related things. I made that request out of one reason only - to make sure that nothing is missing again. My takeover was agreed with everyone that was involved into the investigations mentioned above and that were deciding on the fate eJapan so far. The following elections are the first ones that break a "rule" in eJapan - two Serbs are going one against the other. At least I don't remember that it happened before.
CURRENT SITUATION WITH CAPITOL
I have posted some information on the wall, but it wasn't published on time. My apologies for that. The reason why we lost Kanto is to swap regions between Moldova and Cuba, the countries that we have training wars on our territory with. Due to our lack of knowledge, the capitol had gotten transferred to Hokkaido instead of Tohoku. The game doesn't count foreign citizens when calculating the largest populated region. That is why we will have to compensate for the mistake and close our war with Russia for a day or two to have the capitol back in Kanto. My apologies for that as well, it was my mistake that had led us to this.
CONGRESS MEMBERS MESSAGE
My apologies for that as well. I will create a message with all the newly elected congress members after I publish this article. Truth be told, there were no important laws being proposed anyways, but it is still irresponsible on my end. I am still getting used to this role that I never wished for. For the time being, due to the lack of trust between all of us, there is nothing we can do with that money without someone saying that it's been used without his approval. For the time being, there is nowhere to use that money, unfortunately. The only expenditure that I had was 90k to raise a resistance that was to fail since we needed an overnight battle to rank up the accounts during the last event with the carrots being given as rewards in battles.
THE END OF THE ARTICLE
Thank you all for reading this, I felt this had to be said publicly. A lot was going on behind the curtains and I wanted to unveil those events to all who might have had some questions, but didn't want to ask.
Please feel free to ping me about anything with any questions you might have. You can also find me on Telegram, https://t.me/BastovanSurcinski .
Cheers!

Aha! Are things fine between you and Bozimano?
Not really. He is only talking to Luka (The Black Raven, Pera87) at the moment and he will be taking over eJapan again in the next month.
He talks to me.. it's said you guys are cross. there was little which kept this country together..
Yep. In the meantime I have decided to quit fighting the windmills, since there is no point.
Ako sam dobro razumeo, Čeda je nalog koji je ostavljen od nekog bivšeg igrača.
Taj nalog ,,vozi" više ljudi i desila se neka krađa sa tog naloga. Sada je drama ko je maknuo nešto sa tog naloga pa je počelo da leti perje između ,,vozača".
Onda se neko žalio na ,,nepravdu" i administratori su resetovali nalog i vratili prava na ,,voženje" više od jednog igrača i to sa već postojećim nalozima u igri.
У суштини да, тако је. С тим, да је налог ресетовао он сам.
IF money is not disappearing anymore: you did good!
I support any level of drama if it's for a good cause. Since I am married irl, I know, you just have to be able to handle drama in life.
Hope for the best for Japan and its citizens. Please keep Kanto safe!
Looks like if we have money, the presence of it, it's a problem.
Can we just give it to all active citizens? Then you can collect it again slowly, and nobody can steal it, so nobody will go ballistic.
No money, no cry 😃
I would, under normal circumstances, go with your idea. The question that will be raised is: who is and why eligible to decide who gets what amount of money and why. That is something that we will never be able to agree on.
Aye! You are the elected person atm who was elected to make such decisions. You will never have 100% agreement, ever, anyway. Most of us never saw anything from money anyway, so given a person the default is 'you get nothing', if some will get something, that's already an improvement.
Hmm.....interesting story which I had no idea about...and I presume most of the citizen outside the CtG/TlS group, but can't say I'm surprised xD
So, how it is possible, or should I say, how is it by the rules, that one player account can be used by multiple persons (and I also presume that they have other - their original profiles in the game, and used Ceda.mj and Bozimano Dorks, to farm gold etc)? Isn't that against the rules? Basicly multi accounts?
Also why are you allowing profiles, for which you know for sure, that are being used by multiple persons, access to goverment orgs? Giving loans to them are one thing, but giving access to goverment orgs is a whole other thing. You should and I though you know better than that. And now only one person (CP) controls the orgs, as it should be all the time, exactly to stop cases like this, misuse of gov. orgs so we could have someone to hold responsible for the orgs (blame in case things go wrong, like they did xD)
Also since the profiles in question have been selected as our CP's in the past, does that mean that there were also controlled by multiple people during their presidency?
I'm sure there are more details to this story, and this article is just the tip of the iceberg but at least you made the effort to inform all the citizens of what is going on behind the curtains xD
And for the end, one fun fact regarding your statement about the following CP elections. No, it's not the first time that two Serbs are going one against the other in CP elections. Here is the prove - https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/presidential-elections/45/1451980800
But you could say that is the first time that two Serbs are going one against the other from the same group???
Its public secret that multis are allowed. Since same IP is not critetia for multiple accounts you can basicly have quite few accounts as long as you dont use them to boost your main. Or at least not doing that directly.
Its also common that more people have access to one account and thats the case in at least 50% cases of active player(players who actually play game, not two clickers).
And when it comes to CPs its probably very close to 100% shared accounts, especially lately since there are 100 battles to be started, dozens of laws that need to be started at certian time and thats really hard for one person to do. Mainly because of retarded state of game we have now, milions of tws and gaytrains everywhere.
Thanks for the info, I was not aware of that, since I always played solo, not involving myself deeper in the game, like in politics/military stuff, so I didn't know that even if it's (was) a public secret xD I always presumed that only one profile per person is allowed but boy I was wrong. It does make sense for sharing CP account, for the reason you mentioned, but it kinda beats the purpuse of voting for someone because of him, because you support and want a certain person to be a CP, if a bunch of people are hiding behind that person xD
I disagree about CP thing. If you vote for someone, but he is not working alone doesnt mean that you are cheated. He is still in charge, just have some peoole helping him. Of course you gonna share your account only with people who you trust and you have similar opinions, not some random strangers. Guess its same in RL, presidents probably have group of people behind them.
But that is why we have the government, the ministries, president's cabinet composed of people CP trust to help him to lead the country in case let's say he's not online xD I don't know for the rest but i would feel cheated, if let's take BastovanSurcinski for example since he menationed upcoming CP elections. So I like his articles, his opionions about domestic/foregin affairs etc and I want to give my vote to him but only to one man behind the name BastovanSurcinski, not a group of men hiding behind the name BastovanSurcinski and in control. So in the end it turns out that one man opinion(s) I liked/supported are in fact three men opinions on some above mentioned matters xD There is much opened space for manipulation.
+ on what Kudraa said.
In most of the cases the CP has his credentials shared, it's a common thing. Stronger accounts also have more people farming them so they use the account to its full extent.
As for the security part, I wouldn't know what to tell you. There can be no real security. I have a life outside this game. I don't intend to spend my life here. That is why I'm not a good CP - I'm not there to keep an eye on the battles, make sure we have ongoing wars 24/7, tons of TW's... I don't have an account to look after all that myself. So basically, I'm just a middlemen between the game and the people that want to farm whole day. Since most of the people are quitting now, you will only see Bozimano Dorks and Pera87 farming in Japan soon. Everyone else has quit trying to make anything useful out of this game.
Yeah, I understand. But still, I know, we have many experienced players, in every aspect of the game, that they made such an oversight which allowed some people to steal state money and even worse not to know who is the perpetrator which lead to the current situation and to the discord of one strong communty.
As for the farming part, that duo is farming BH medals/gold for some time in eJapan. You could even say that they monopolised the battlefield, making it very hard for the rest of us to get any BH medals at all, regardless of your division.
Yes, about that monopoly. At one point Bozimano was the only one with Maverick Pack. I believe it lasted for 3 weeks before I quit arguing with him to leave D4 empty for at least 15 minutes so others can fight somewhere as well. As I said, I quit because he would say ok, keep the word for a day or two and than go back to the usual way of fighting at the beginning. One of the reasons I will not go for CP anymore.
Well, considering the fact that his account was used by multiple people, God knows with who did you speak and try to make some agreement about the BH medals. One agrees, others don't xD
Btw I understad that if was some unspoken rule (agreement) that if you hit first at the begining of the round players would/should respect your BH medal and not try to outdamage you and take your medal. The main problem was (is) when regardless of the division, thanks to the maverick pack, we have same people farming medals in almost all current battles of our country. So you can say goodbuye to medal and fight only to do military do's and that is it. And thus we had, or should I say we have monopolisation of the battlefield by a few people.
No, his account is his alone, no one else is using it. At least as far as I know... And I agree - who starts hitting first should get the medal. But if he is in every battle there is in Japan, isn't that selfish? You might not know how easy it is to earn gold with an account of that strength and rank. And besides, he is not alone in Japan. There are others who would like getting a medal every now and then.
Every capable Japanese citizen is allowed to 'farm', there are others who regularly fight and 'farm', not just Bozimano, since there are enough TWs and rounds to go about for most active players. Many are crippled by current weapon prices, many don`t have enough resources to fight as much as some do. That`s the state we`re in, the game in first row, then the players looking after themselves, and our community here is not any different. There are unwritten rules most of us follow, and i really don`t see much problems. Who ever goes first, other is searching or waiting another battle/round. Simple as that. All that can fight regularly, they 'farm' and i`ve seen various names, not just in D4 but lower divisions as well, for quite some time now, yet they are not mentioned, so it all goes back to how much someone is capable of hitting and when, throwing mud on one player will not solve anything.
That, what you are speaking of, Watan, is a group of individuals playing free for all, not a community that cares about itself.
@Watan Tanka
We are not thorwing mud on anyone, these are plain facts. And belive it or not it's not about the medals, it's about the monopolisation of the battlefield by a few people. Of course that everyone have right to do whatever they want, I or anyone else can't say or forbid people to do what they want to. And I understand, being the top player isn't cheap, people like him have high maintenance profile costs xD
You say how many players lack resources to fight more regularly and that is a direct consequence of monopolisation of the battlefield by a few people. If eveyone had a decent chance to get a bh medal, and earn some gold, they wouldn't have problems with current weapon prices, lack or resources to limit their fighting capabilities.
1 BH medal is not enough to pay for the tanks you bought for example with cc, their worth now is much more than 5 gold. So that is what i`m talking about. Every BH is minus for a player if he doesn`t have extremely strong hit power. Well, who`s fault is that...
@Watan
Some rules are always good, but its not about that.
Idk how much you have been active lately, iirc you joijed telegram relatively recently so not sure if you know as much as all of us who are there for 4 years maybe.
Until 2 years ago we were maybe of the strongest among smaller countries. We had quite numerus and healthy community, growing in strenght and numbers, working together, having fun. But then as time passed some people became more greedy and selfish(probably they were like that always but just couldnt show it cus they were not strong enough). As they were becoming stronger it was becoming much more time and nerve demanding for others to fulfill their needs, and arguements about medals and stuff like that became frequent. Eventually that let to collapse of community, people started leaving and going 2clicking. Now we are among weakest of smaller countries. There were only 2. 5 accounts left playing actively, bozimano, arhangell and ceda. Why 2.5? Cus arhangell was playing for few months, then got tired cus other 2 were making it hard, and so on. So we ended up with what? Last guy who was playing on ceda.mj that had given it to several people so they can farm 24/7, and later use that gold to finance their other accounts which were outside of Japan. But at least he you could count on him in real wars doing serious damage.
On the other hand we had bozimano, who is not team player at all, playing solo, very hard to cooperate with. Greedy and selfish, I mean, almost 150k gold while buying packs with cc, not even people as igd or lylyana that have their own private countries could do that. And of top of that, he said we could count on him in real wars but when the real war came he chickend out and said "Nisam lud da raskurcam ovo sto sam godinama skupljao". Also there are some screenshots of msgs between bozimano and last guy who played on ceda where bozimano tells him he knows that he is exploiting account and that he has 2 choices. One is to help him to get rid of MrT and he will allow him to continue exploiting account and pay him 2k gold on top of it. And if he doesnt do that he will ask real Ceda to take account from him. If thats not monopolisation idk what is. With medals cheap as in Japan Legend XX can farm almost 24/7, and if there are 2 of those that are willing to do so, and you cant make any conpromise cus only thing they care about is themselfes its either going to results in fights or others giving up. No matter how shitty this game is but its what hold us together. People who play less actively are going to be less active on chats, which will eventually lead to community dying out.
I talked to my people. So far, we think it's best to stay out of the arguing to avoid making it worse. An argument between the Serbian community should be settled by the Serbs. Serbs are probably the best people to solve the current problem in our opinion.
We hope things can go back to normal soon, or people can move on, let bygones be bygones.
Well, the part of stealing state money kinda concerns all the citizen tho, but I totally agree since it's their problem and I'm sure they will solve it (for better or worse).
Time to do something about this problem.
What do you intend to do about it?
Oh wow. Now *that* was really interesting news!
Great article and interesting comments, except mine, too. 🙂
