Game Botches Congress Elections.
ragalanow jadon
Hey everyone I’m writing this article because this game has actually glitched in a way that will hurt a lot of our players in a place other then their wallet.
Today when I woke up I went to go look where my PP had ranked in the congressional list, having high hopes that that I’d be in good position. When I looked at the list though I was not even on it. In fact half of our previous candidacy had been wiped off by the game.
Now how this is in anyway fair or a good part of the game is beyond me.
In fact i'll just go ahead and say it’s not. Hear that admins? Either you or your game is screwing us and we want it fixed.
I sent a ticket to admins stating this:
hey i m writing this message to let you know if the issue i'm about to state isn't adressed you will lose a valuable gold buying customer (i'm dead serious) and i will do everything in my power to bash the admins until you perma ban me.
the issue is that i was kicked from the congressional running TWICE, the first time i re-applied but the second time must have been very late yesterday evening because when i logged on at 12 A.M. i was no longer in the running. i was not kicked by PP because i don't know if that's even possible and this is not solely my issue but one that all of eCan has suffered from. this BIG bug has made some parties candidacy drop to 2 people. i am going to be writing an article in eCanada about this issue and hope you quickly resolve it,
or like i said i will be VERY disappointed. thanks in advance for your time and fair resolution to to our problem,
Ragalanow Jadon.
*update* so obviously i can get response on 4 other tickets within 10 hours and as short as 3 but when it come's to something important that needs to be adressed promptly i get no response.
so i wrote my own response:
hey so an update on the situation Canada lost half of they're party's Candidates with our fourth ranked party, the IPC, losing EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE. i am sure i will get a response tomorrow when the issue can't be fixed saying,
"Thank you for raising your concerns. Your eRepublik team will look into implementing these changes in the future. Thank you and have a nice day."
i have lost faith in this game and the support it's members deserve but don't have.
thanks and have a great day,

I will post there response to my ticket shortly. I’d realy appreciate if you took the time to vote and shout this and even go as far as to send a ticket, I doubt know we won't get closure but being this is our first congressional elections in like 8 months I think we have to try.

That sucks.
The "admins" is actually just an 87 year old Norwegian man named 'Ricky'. Between his scheduled naps and colonics he answers about 2 tickets a day. Maybe if we are really lucky he will answer 3 today and some time next year this ticket will receive a response.
i'm pissed
You should be. I'd be too if I got bumped from a glitch for the first congress in 8 months.
Same happened to me brother.
and me, I probably shouldn't have gone to a drunken party with no internet access when the glitch happened.
Dammit! I wanted into congress!
sux bigtime!!!
I was shouting last night to get people to realize this - unfortunately for many it was too late. Sorry.
no worries, i was told and did it one for nunavut but the timing of the NWT RW was horrible 😛 it's the game mechanics flaw's fault. the admins should fix it.
Amen.
ah, so it is a flaw in the system. To me it looked consistent with all the other things they do to mess with small occupied countries. Let's hope not.
Work Tax
Plato is using his tricks to keep us from changing it. He even said that if I get elected to Congress he would offer me 10 Gold to keep the tax at 20%. The guy is desperate. But then as a starving noob, so am I.
Is it part of the game rules to totally throw everyone off the ballot when you win a territory? Seems like a funny way to have it set up.
ya no doubt right? the logic of it is really escaping me
I got off the list also! I submitted an angry ticket >:I
If you buy lots of gold they get back to you rather quickly.
lol ya they usualy get back to me the same day but it usually goes like this
"thanks for your (gold buying) time. we have resolved the (fact that you haven't bought enough gold for us to care) issue.
Last time they gave me a free big bomb 🙂
what? how'd you manage that?
One of mine randomly disappeared! And I had been buying tons of gold at the time.
lol randy
Well if that is what it takes to get things done around here, then it is quite obvious ALL of eCanada needs to start buying more Gold.
Can Congress legislate a minimum Gold purchase level for all citizens?
yes they should have something along the lines of all citizen over level 25 must make a weekly purchase of at least 25 gold. then all our problems would go away... ha. ha. ha.
This article is good, but belongs below the Gingers.
Solution is obvious: "Buy More Gold"
Deal with it.
buying votes for days, sorry what can i say.
When we lose a region or such some people are kicked off the list. Common when occupied.
Had that problem in UPC once that knocked off half our ballot the night before the election. It's a game mechanic, not a glitch.
then it's the most retarded mechanic that i've heard of in anygame i've ever played in my entire life. perma ban here i come, see you all on the other side.
I think we gained a region (NWT) rather than lost one (Nunavut).
It seems odd that any changes to your territory (gaining or losing regions) resets the ballot. It is too risky engaging battles if that is the case.
I think since most people applied for Congress while residing in a Spanish territory (to fight in the RW), the game thought that we had lost a region and dropped people who had signed up while technically in Spain. At least that's the only thing I can think of.
I signed up while in Nunavut, and I was still kicked off. I honestly, didn't even see the NWT RW.
I just checked and saw the IPC entire candidates list was cleared, being the party president I know it was not done by me. This is complete BS!!!!!
Yeah, CRP lost all but 2 members off the list, I think myself and armour applied for congress on the last day so we got round it. This seriously sucks though. Shouted.
Thank you for raising your concerns. Your eRepublik team will look into implementing these changes in the future. Thank you and have a nice day.
i will rage so hard
Yeah I got the same message when I ranted about the tax lol
Everytime you run for congress Ragalanow, Jesus drowns a kitten. Plato was just doin the world a solid.
every time you run for CP Rylde, Jesus drowns himself. which is why Plato Can't wait for you to run again.
fuck off Rylde and come back to eCan already.
When I left i really didn't expect it to take 7 months to get back and I also didn't expect american politics to be so lame.
well Canadian politics as you can see aren't gona be lame, half the Congress is gona be under div 3.

I support this article and its opinions 100% . Its a shitty and pointless situation.
I voted the article because I do think the game mechanic is a little messed up. I'm not so sure though that threatening the admins and giving them an ultimatum is the correct thing to do. But to each his own.
if i could give them a bigger ultimatum or threat i would but unfortunatly it's the best a can do which is weak at best.
Wow, take a day or so off and look what happens - I'll be happy just so long as someone gets in to vote down the Work Tax
The only problem I have is that you're lacking basic punctuation... please use a capital at the beginning of a sentence.
God. Damn.
lol i'm guessing you like the lack of apostrophes and capital I's as well? 😉
it sucks but it is a game mechanic, people should have informed there fellow party members of the rule....
