[CHUTICLE] RANT - PART TWO

Rant to Explain eRepublik – Part Two
Today I’ve selected a few topics to explain. This is part two of what was previously part 1. Here, if you haven’t seen it.
Ok part two.
What’s Canada?
Canada is that thing that’s above the USA and has people that are nicer than Americans but worse at stuff. Like most sports, science, and genocide.
Canada is also that thing that on eRepublik was a “bro” to the eUS for a long time but then started controversies along with the help of some other people and it turned out that they became Natural Enemies, which, really, is kind of a dumb term. Like a natural enemy should be one that, you know, is naturally your enemy so you dislike them for a long ass time. Not someone about whom you say,
“Hey, buddy, you just pissed me off so you’re my natural enemy but in two weeks let’s be friends again.
Have you seen the movie The Natural? Great movie, besides the point. Anyways, he’s called “The Natural” because he’s amazing at baseball, like, his whole life. It’s not like he was at home playing World of Warcraft and thought to himself,
“Hey, buddy, you just pissed in your pants so now you gotta be a natural baseball star but in two weeks let’s have no friends again.”
So anyways, Canada is also that thing we invaded because we got pissed about something or other and now it’s fine. Oh, also it’s that thing that apparently, according to shouts I’ve seen, only has bacon and syrup and there are lots of puns and jokes that you can make about bacon and syrup.
What’s the meta-game?
The meta-game is that thing that you don’t know exists until you spend too much time on eRepublik. Then, when you’re elected to Congress or care enough to ask someone, you find out other people “play” eRepublik, like, not having to do with eRepublik at all. For some people you could take away the entire website and they might hardly notice.
Instead, the meta-game is that thing that happens on forums (should be “fora,” bee tee dubs) where people make posts that are 10% of substance, 10% about the government, and 80% about who’s a “faggot,” or, “pfaggot,” depending on who you talk to.
What’s a n00b?
A n00b is that thing where someone is new to something and other people who have been around longer think that’s their fault and also a problem. Like, ask a question or say something wrong because you don’t know what’s going on…you’re that thing that’s a n00b. Like this:
New person: “Hey everyone, I’m running for PoTUS this month.”
Old person: “You can’t run for PoTUS you dumb idiot, you’re level 2 and a douche n00b.”
n00bs are also that thing you are until at some point in time you’re not a n00b. I don’t know when you graduate, but it happens at some point. So...all you n00bs out there – have faith. And no, you dumb idiot, you can’t run for PoTUS.
What are Q7 weapons?
They’re those things that are Q10 weapons. Moving on.
What are shouts?
Shouts are those things that you use to link me to battlefields that I don’t care about. Look, I do two things: 1) Fight where the link at the top of my page says 0/25 at the beginning of the day; and 2) Possibly fight for the eUS somewhere else to help out my quest to be a true patriot medal person if I feel up to it. That leaves me no room for what would be 3) Click your link.
Shouts are also those things you can use to write inane things and get responses if you’re popular or whatever the equivalent is on eRepublik. For instance, the other day I wrote,
“It’s weird that some of you are midgets and I don’t know it.”
And actually, that reminds me…isn’t that weird? I mean, I’m not making a judgment about little people or any type of people for that matter, but it’s a distinguishing characteristic for someone, isn’t it? Like if I asked you what you looked like in RL and you answered honestly, and were also a midget, wouldn’t you tell me that? Plus it makes your whole life different in not all good or bad ways. Just different. And shorter I guess. So why not tell me? In full disclosure, I’ll take a break from this to tell you if I’m a little person…
I’m not.
But if I was that would be ok right? Yes it would. Ok in all honestly I now have to read what I was writing above so I know what I’m supposed to be talking about.
Oh…shouts. Right. Shouts are also those things that tell you real life news if you’re spending way too much time on eRepublik. For instance, absolutely 100% true story: eRepublik shouts are how I found out Osama Bin Laden was killed. Seriously. Not joking. True. So if anyone asks me,
Hey Chutley (or whatever my real name is), where were you when you found out we killed Osama Bin laden?”
…I have to lie. Big time.
There you go, part 2 of my rant to explain eRepublik. If you haven't read it yet, here's the link. Next up, at some point in time, part 3.
Rantingly,
Chutley

I'm a RL red-haired midget. Well, not ACTUALLY a midget, but very wee.
There, that's twice I've come out to you, I have to stop looking into your eyes 😉
"Oh, also it’s that thing that apparently, according to shouts I’ve seen, only has bacon and syrup and there are lots of puns and jokes that you can make about bacon and syrup."
Amen to that.
by the way, glad to see a new Chuticle. voted.
It's Q10 because 7even 8te 9ine and went straight to ten...at least that is how the joke goes.
I feel enlightened about an eRep that is now better explained. Notice how this Canadian made no bacon-syrup puns.
Kishi likes.
I have never thought about how many people that play this game are midgets.
I usually just think about how many people are having sex while playing this game.
Now I have to think about how many people are having sex with a midget while they play this game, thanks Chutley.
😃
I do love a Chuticle :3
Genius... pure genius.
Shout-worthy even.
All Hail Chutley!
I'm a n00b.... its crazy....
Your real name isn't Chutley? I need to do some soul-searching...

Yet another fantastic article.
Nicely done caveman.
Voted!
"worse at stuff. Like most sports, science, and genocide."
...yes, like science...
Oh that's right, when NASA was recruiting for the Space Task Group they didn't recruit two dozen Canadian engineers.
And a Canadian didn't develop the first insulin.
And it wasn't a Canadian that invented the first bomb sniffer.
Good read right here, thanks.
I still don't get what's really meta about the meta-game. It's really more just an unauthorized add-on, isn't it? But then I'm probably a mental midget.
America: Wake up and smell the Chutley
hmmm & Canada is that thing where nearly all of us can take a joke. Lucky for you Wally Cleaver's a guy & therefore won't be able to sick you with his Canadian Beaver... 😛😛
"Your real name isn't Chutley? I need to do some soul-searching..."
x2
Meta game...more like snoro-game
This gets my stamp of approval.

@Wally Cleaver: You are wrong about insulin, the first insulin produced artificially was by Eli Lilly Co, a company based from Indianapolis in the United States. It is called Humalog and I just gave myself a dose (I am a lifelong type 1 diabetic). The genetic coding of insulin was found by a British man. Canada had nothing to do with it.
Not to derail Chutley's article, or defend Wally, but just to set the record straight, by the time a pharmaceutical company produces any product, that product has been in the works, being tested & refined, for up to 10 years or more.
The initial interest in the properties & uses of insulin was triggered by Dr. Frederick Banting, a Canadian scientist.

I have a vested interest in knowing about diabetes, as both types I & II, are a genetic trait in my family. My maternal Grandmother died due to complications associated with diabetes. One of my Aunts lost a foot to gangrene & her life to complications associated with diabetes. I have many cousins who are either type I or II. My mother is a type II diabetic.
A nice concise summary, which I think you'll appreciate, especially being a type I diabetic yourself:

I wish you all the best Kishvier! o/

deja vu on the article
You never fail to impress me.
I found out about the article in a shout... so yes; I will click articles! 🙂
