People You Will Meet in eRep
Sir Gulden Draak
Greetings my dear readers, my last article was taken down, as I guess someone wasn’t a fan of Operation: Salt Their Peters. I hope this article will not meet a similar fate, but will none the less be as entertaining. In my roughly two years I have played this game, I have met a great variety of people in this game,and I have decided to summarize them for you by putting them into categories. Enjoy!
The Two Clicker- They work, they train, and depending on the day they may fight. They will never join a political party, they ignore every PM and friend request, and they will never shout. Even if they did, no one would ever hear them. They will play the game for a considerable length of time, perhaps years, and then they will disappear without anyone knowing they ever existed.
The Over Achiever- Suffering from too much free time, and crippling loneliness in real life this player will devote all their time to this game. They will likely rise to a position of some importance like Deputy Secretary of some Department, or a Captain in a Military Unit. However, they will not likely advance past this point due to the fact that they are also highly annoying. As stated, they devote all their energy to this game so you will likely become their friends. People in positions of real power love this player, because they actually do work, but also hate them due to their ability to be annoying.
The Milfgt- This player honestly believes that they are part of a military. This player will join the game, and soon enough a Military Branch. This player is usually also highly annoying, but also usually angry. You may recognize them from such phrases as “Don’t you dare criticize me, I lay my life down for this nation every day.” Ummm no bro, you dont, this is a online game you press a red button that says FIGHT. Sometimes this player can be cool, but ultimately they take the military roleplay a little too far.
I am a real solider g-damnit
The Congressfgt- This is pretty much the political version of the milfgt. This player will run for congress, usually unsuccessfully most months. However, once they get in they are havoc. Again, this player takes the roleplay to the extreme believing that they are really in Congress. They argue over every dollar, every point, and are ultimately a general hindrance in getting anything done in congress.
The Real Life Guy- Keeping on the roleplaying theme, this player is usually in high school or maybe a freshman in college. They are fresh off their first economic course, political science course, etc. They take all that real life information they learned in the class, and try to fit it into the game. They quote real life politicians, economists, or real life case studies. Whatever their point may be, they constantly use real life to try and get it across usually resulting in failure.
The Burnout- This player is highly intelligent, and as a result gets a grasp on the game very quickly. They will write well thought out articles, which are usually read by well established citizens and maybe even reshouted. People in positions of power will take notice of this player, and recruit them to some position. Shocked that they have found someone who is intelligent and who enjoys the game they will overload them with work. This person will perform all their tasks well for maybe two weeks or so. Eventually, the stress and the anger that no one else seems to be doing work will catch up with them. They will usually end their eRep career with a delicious rage quit article and then go on to actually do something successful in real life.
The Burnout when they reach their end
The Dioist This person loves Dio, or at least pretends to despite the fact that they never played when Dio Brando actually played the game. This player is usually desperate for some sort of metagame and they will latch on quickly to Dioism perhaps even reading the book of Dio. You can recognize them from comments like DIO DIO DIO, or Dio fists. Usually this player is cool, but sometimes they become a religious zealot and therefore an annoying douche.
The Anti-Dioist- This person is militant against the concept of Dioism and it usually cracks me up personally. They cannot seem to grasp the fact that most people who are Dioists are just joking around and obviously don’t take the Book of Dio literally. You can recognize them from long rage filled posts on any article concerning Dioism.
Well at the risk of this going on too long, I will stop the article here though there are several other types of player that exist in this game. Perhaps if I get drunk enough, I will write a second part to this series. As always, until next time......
Stay thirsty my friends,

The All-Star, checking in.
I also noticed everyone is annoying except anti-dioists?
I would love a second part, that made me laugh xD
x2
tired of hearing this dio stuff.....he is old..leave him alone. lol
@Chance: All these people have the ability to be annoying, when they take their role to far with the exception of two clickers because no one knows who they are.
What are the people considered that are already in power, I seen rising to power but nothing for "these are the elite of the eWorld"
@arthur- Elites will be in the next article.
I'm a burnout that refuses to completely leave lol
Voted and enjoyed!
😁 What she said.
I want more
A good read , voted
I am the Diost and The Over Achiever
Votado, good one!
~hyuu~
~hyuu~
Really don't feel like I fit any of those categories, but then again, I don't know how many people find me annoying 😛
Since Dio is Pakistani his name should have been Ummar ibn Dio al Islam
im a bit of a burnout player lol
I don't think I fit in to any of these categories really, but I can give lists of names of people that I've met who fit them : P
Burnout reporting in.
third article of this same type I've read in two days.
a list of snappy names with descriptions of the various types of players.
at least none are flat out copies of the material, and I guess if one guy has an idea and another fella sees it as a good idea but wants to cover it from another angle...
so.. what's the difference between an Oreo cookie and the Hydrox version of the same?
hint: 1999.
almost Burnout reporting in 😃
you forgot bitter oldfag
voted.
Nice article, would love to see a second one
Awesome stuff !!
V
I'm a burnout who keeps relapsing.
I went from Private to JCS in like six months.
In every country I go to I rise really fast, then rage.
Then come back.
Then rage...
🙁
I NEED TO FINALLY QUIT...
I voted, and the green box is shaking....I think I broke it. Great article, very funny, and very true. I eagerly await the next one!
i heard of a prophecy, that one day Dio shall return, and with him will come all the good of V1, the players will once again cheer the word of Dio
one of the first Signs of the Return will be the beginning of positive changes made by the admin
: )
lol dio 4 life
Dio infects everything.
DIO, because spectating the meta game is my favorite game.
fgt i was in PMF while Dio was around and I've been a proud Dioist since then.
Decent Typology Gulden; I suspect most would place me somewhere between 2 clicker and burnout. Also, you forgot to add the 'tycoon' typology whom does nothing than troll the Marketplace and Monetary Markets in search of profit.
Voted 😃 cool!
am not sure myself...x_x
I demandz my own categoryz!
^ I am living my life vicariously through eRep guy.
"The Over Achiever- ...too much free time...loneliness...rise to a position of some importance...not likely advance...highly annoying... People...love this player, because they actually do work, but also hate them due to their ability to be annoying."
ME!!! (BTW, I'm lonely, be my friend?!)
What a good concept for an article!
Dill, that should be "the Egocentrist - always makes everything about themselves..."
You win. I'm annoyed.
pathetic rip-off of PQ's article, u suck gulden xD
From what I gathered, most of erep players are annoying, amirite?
And then theirs the Romper......
