One day, a little boy named Richard Zucker was born.
Of course, the short form of the name Richard is the name Dick, so all the other children called him Dick.
Dick was a weird child, from a weird family. But I wont talk about that, what I will tell you though is that there are two important facts for you to know about little Dick Zucker.
Fact #1.
He loved everything gold. Of course he was too poor to have any real gold, so he just painted stuff gold.
He painted his shoes gold, so he had golden shoes. And he loved those golden shoes.
He painted his fishing rod gold, so he had a golden rod. And he loved that golden rod even more.
He painted his showerhead gold, so he had a golden shower. And he loved those golden showers most of all!
Fact #2.
He was from a magical, imaginary land like Narnia, or Middle-earth, except this place was really, really horrible.
Now enough of this.. on to the main story...
Well I mentioned before Dick Zucker was poor, and he would usually steal from his neighbours. What would he steal? Anything. But despite this, his neighbours were good and kind people and wanted to be nice to the little Zucker kid.
So one day, while playing out on the street, a neighbourhood kid yelled out "Hey Dick Zucker, come on over and let's play football!"
To this, little Dick Zucker, replied "Can we also play basketball and volleyball?"
You see, Dick Zucker loved playing sports. But not just any sport, he loved basketball, football, volleyball, tennis, golf, ping pong. Basically any game with balls he loved to play. It didn't matter if it was big balls or small balls, he just loved to play with them.
Dick Zucker loved to play with balls all day and all night.
So, the good and godly and just neighbourhood kids said "okay, we can play, but only if you play fair!" because it was well known that everybody from the same imaginary land as Dick Zucker was a cheater.
Dick Zucker agreed.
But, Dick Zucker was a liar. He was a cheat, and a thief, and everything horrible you could imagine in a person. So he cheated at every game they played so that he would win.
And after he won by cheating he would gloat about it, because after all, he was a horrible, horrible person.
Of course the neighbourhood kids all realized what was going on, but they kept playing with little Dick Zucker. Days became weeks, and weeks became months, and months became years and little Dick Zucker grew into big Dick Zucker... and after all this time he was still cheating...
and winning because of it...
and then gloating about how he won...
And then, finally, about 10 years later on, the neighbourhood kids finally had enough of that Dick Zucker, so they said "fine, if he wont stop cheating, let's cheat, but just as much as he does so that it could be finally fair."
So they did, and then Dick Zucker lost, and he cried... and he cried and cried and cried so much that he cried a whole river of tears...
And the next day, they played again and Dick Zucker cheated as usual, but so did the others but just as much as Dick Zucker.. and so once again Dick Zucker lost.. and he cried.. and he cried and cried and cried and he once again cried a whole river of tears...
After 10 years of Dick Zucker winning by cheating, he was so spoilt that he couldn't even take less then two months of losess. And one one day, he yelled out "this is unfair!!!! you shouldn't be cheating, only I should be cheating!!! Your cheating just as much as me is unfair!!! only i can cheat!! stop it stop it stop it waa waa waaa!!
and then he tried to drown the world in his tears and starting yelling how he would never play again.
The only thing the whole neighbourhood could agree on was good riddance Dick Zucker!
And so the world was a better place without lifelong cheaters.
The end.

very nice article - it seems like a true story to me about someone we all know
I can't think of anyone this reminds me of...
Wait I thought the other kids are not cheating and are just better organized and won solely thanks to the power of love and friendship?
True story about many of them who all we know
Insults & Bullying ?
Zivila partija! Zivio komunizam!
Legitimizing cheating through funny stories 🙂
At this rate next year they will be 2-3 players controlling hundreds of accounts in order to win battles.
Battles will be won but not really victories when you are cheering alone.
The entire “care” for communities it’s utterly bullsh*t when you ask entire communities to provide access to accounts that just fight on a click.
It’s not Plato that ruined the game but players willing to do anything to win a battle, ego trumps communities no matter the nice slogans.
Enjoy the battles won
You mean like scripts that have been controlled remotely for a decade now?
At this rate there is no point for humans to play anymore. Battles are 100% decided by who has access to most scripts not by factors that require human intervention.
ER has become Age if Empires in the last couple of months and not many see a purpose in playing this game, the likely outcome is that a nuclear scripts war will happen, if this is what is needed for “care if communities” so be it but don’t blame Plato for this 🙂
Enjoy the game, I hope people enjoy the state it was brought to 🙂
Its been age of empires for years and years and years.
But only now it bothers some people because their cheats stopped working.
Being able to control battles to end exactly when they need to and on the exact score it needs to has never happened in this game before and no matter how much preparation you do in advance, how much sleepless nights you have, how convincing you are, you won’t achieve this by human interactions. Still, one side does it for a year now 🙂
It’s not about scripts or no scripts it’s about the game being purely decided by who has the most accounts controlled by a single person that does the winning and nothing else matters.
The likely outcome to this I have described above, enjoy the win 😉
Your comment vindicates this article, if this article had anything to do with erep that is, but alas, it doesnt.
The article is funny for a lot of reasons, that’s all 🙂
You are even funnier, for obvious reasons.
You must be joking vladb. Its either that or too much weed with cow crap and urine burned your brain and you believe nobody remembers the scripts developed by prominent GPSS players
what about complaining about cheating the moment youre side starts losing, untill that moment everithyng was ok?
How about the bot farms that existed for years and years and years?
Anyways, this article has nothing to do with erep.
What an irony... You describe exactly what you(Asteria) and your friends were doing all those previous years. Cheating every single day with every possible way to win every single battle, no matter what the cost was for the game. You destroyed a lot of communities and now only a few players remained here to play this game. Just because you wanted to win and spread your ''darkness''.
You were also mocking everyone who was talking about your cheating with expressions like Cryatia, vacation, Merkeland, slaves etc etc. I could write a lot more but there is no point.
Enjoy the battles lost...
In the past year I've fought almost every big country of erepublik,what I've seen from Romania is out of word,every 10-15 minutes suddenly appears an original account along with 4-5 ''other'',the big one does some damage and the other 5-15 kills always,I've seen it in every campaign we had esp in the ones you did not fight,how can you explain that? Isn't this bot army? Cheap but still bot.
Also admins gave a choice to easily defeat bot armies,how? With app,a real player can do quicker damage than a bot army and that's the reason we defeat asteria in every single crucial battle,just remember battle for Bucharest first round div 4 we got it the very last second cause over 30 greek players switched to app,you cannot do this unless you have phone or bluestacks (really heavy program).
I fully agree with this quote ''It’s not Plato that ruined the game but players willing to do anything to win a battle, ego trumps communities no matter the nice slogans.''.but it was your exact playstyle.
So please stop complaining,you still got more people (without packs though) regroup and counter attack.
