Erepublik Trivia Decoder, or how we are losing the war.
elbanaan
I'm just going to let the numbers speak here, since it's that obvious.
For those that don't know, there is a decoder out there that gives you all the answers to the trivia, before you press "fight".
This way you do x2 damage, and only lose 10 wellness.
I'm not going to give you the link to it, but I will give you the numbers on who is using it.
The decoder is placed on a Spanish blog, and this is who visits:
Indonesia 40.8%
Spain 17.0%
Iran 9.3%
Romania 8.2%
Hungary 4.6%
Mexico 4.3%
Venezuela 4.1%
Argentina 2.1%
Portugal 1.7%
Brazil 1.0%
I'm willing to give the Spanish the benifit of doubt, because there are other articles on that blog, and they might be reading those.
But indonesia/iron/romania/hung/portugal all don't even understand what's on there. We can assume they all visit only for the decoder.
Also note, the eUK isn't on the list (so less than 1% uses it).
Now we have something to blame for our loss.
I'm sure there are other decoders out there, but I tink this one is the most popular one.
the stats come from here:

indonesia... wow i didnt realise that so many indonesians spoke spanish,
ahahha uk looser? things must be getting bad if the french are calling us loosers...
All the eWorld usethe decoder for fight 😛
voted.... This is a shame 🙁
I think it is a disgrace that cheating is allowed in this way. I mean, what is the point in even bothering to fight if you aren't gonna do it right.
Admins should do something about it!

Voted - something must be done about this immediately.
Oh, and to all the French who will inevitably post here: the article is NOT ABOUT FRANCE. THUS NO-ONE VALUES YOUR OPINION. IT IS A BALANCED ARTICLE ABOUT NATIONS OF THE GAME.
there are so many decoder links out there....every countries have their own decoder...including USA
it is just a smart way to play this game
wkwkwk
lucu luh londo
admins are ment to stop cheating i meen come on
That decoder is Spanish. It was done by Annihilator (now banned).
American articles were full of statements like "it's imperative to use decoder".
This thing happens in both sides, so there is some sort of balance. Think that Peace population is half Atlantis population.
voted.... This is a shame 🙁
I know USA uses them too, I'd figure them being on the top user list too, but they are not.
maybe it are numbers for the month november, I don't know
Italy has his own decoder, http://200.35.148.27/apache2-default/erep.html now i can't access, so i think they have restricted Spanish IPs or they have move it.
UK Army should have informed about the decoders, every soldier must use them.
no it's a 404, not found. Atm we're out of decoders 😃
a british man fights with honour, this is how its been done since hastings and its how it always will be done
This article is just sad
I wonder how can Atlantis finds so poor excuses for their loses every day.
"a british man fights with honour"
lol. FOR PONY!!!
this statistics are so... sad xD lol!!!
Wow, I check the traffic on that website. Someone just passed me the url.
United Kingdom 34.2%
Canada 21.2%
United States 20.5%
Spain 18.6%
Sweden 2%
Portugal 0.1%
France 0.1%
Italy 0.1%
Indonesia 0.1%
Hungary 0.1%
:/
United Kingdom 34.2%
lol u arent honor men ur idiots XD
we should get a lesson on how to use the decoder, does not give you reasons to use it XD
voted 😃
Because everyone else uses it IS NOT an excuse...Come on folks, this is a GAME. What is the point in playing it if you are going to CHEAT; lets call it what it is! Every single person (eBritish or otherwise) who uses ANY decoder is a CHEATER!
So Admins, sort out the cheating, or what is the point in even trying to play this game!
from certain angles you absolutely right, but the issue should not fall on the fact that PEACE cheat because you do not, because he does PEACE hindsight it would have lost
are the admin who should make decisions about it
@ jazar , I posted the link where I got the info, just to show all the others you are pulling numbers out of your ass.
Whine more please.
I'm not saying we lost because of the decoder (well, I did say it in the title, but that's just to get more readers 😛), I even said we could blaim it on this, as in, use as a scapegoat, as in, it's not the real reason.
The numbers were just too funny and extreme to let by unnoticed.
i would rather lose honestly than win through cheating, wheres the fun in that? its not the british way...if thats how you get your kicks then please do it somewhere else and stop ruining a perfectly good game for those of us that want to play.
admins please deal with this before it kills erepublik in its tracks. once cheating becomes the norm no one will want to start playing, and honest players will become more disillusioned and leave!
I know I'm new, but I'd be disappointed to see eUK resort to cheating. Its against the spirit of the game if nothing else.
Voted btw
C'mon, if you use a decoder you fail anyway, in just about every way possible.
Voted.
Haha my god, wasn't that way too obvious? -0_

mmmm let me see that comes to... 97% thats funny i thought they were ment to go upto 100%???
stop making up numbers to cover for your sad excuse for a country!
the italians are using the decoder now in the war against spain, look at the battle and look at the margin they are loosing by! the italians have no allys this time, how is this possible!!!!!
oh and there are 41 spainish online and 23 italians
Just to question the French: Aren't these people using the decoder mainly your allies? Im just saying!
Haha Alexander Etch -0_ Try to add up the numbers in this article -0_
Or wait, maybe these websites are visited by people from other countries as well /0\
And maybe there are multiple decoders /0\
I'd rather see us not cheat and our country be conquered than us to cheat and rule the world, it isnt the end that is important, really it is the means by which you got there. This is a game, a GAME it is meant to be for fun, cheating simply ruins it.
so um jazar, what is the link to this? mmm oh whats that have you 'forgotten it'
and yeh i did and it didnt work out... so have you been missing countries out trying to misslead people? tbh i really dont think that EVERY other e country that you had 'left out' would make up only 3% just own up, you made it up
on the topic i found a magical link to a truth portal that gave me the result;
United Kingdom 0%
Canada 0%
United States 0%
Spain 0%
Sweden 0%
Portugal 345%
France 789%
Italy 99997.5%
Indonesia 271.01134%
Hungary 60000576%
which clearly states that the PEACE alliance are cheaters and to put it in the victorian and far milder terms 'cads of the first water'
Decoders are for the weak of mind and spirit.
If you're so unconfident that you use one, then you deserve an according punishment. If you are too unintelligent to answer the questions correctly, and thus use one, you deserve an according punishment.
The questions aren't that hard people, and Supershots really don't matter that much.
Three answers here:
1. Get lost you miserable cheating wierdos. If I find you (and I can) your IP and computer life is limited.
2. There is only one way to live and that is with self respect and respect to others.
3. The war failures should not be blamed on this alone.
I love that despite PEACE's blatant cheating, in the UK's war versus France and it's Allies the UK has done more damage than any other single nation. As I comment;
UK ~ 215,000
Indo. ~ 152,000
Italy ~ 73,000
Iran ~ 57,000
Brazil ~ 51,000
France ~ 44,000
Portugal ~ 39,000
I love trivia. I love the trivia given. I got my ass handed to me when I thought I was golden and tried to fight in France and got a lot of French trivia.
Expands my knowledge, expands my brain.

What about the UK and France, I'd love to see numbers about those countries...

I'm sorry but the argument from the pro-decoder people is "stop whining" and "loser"? Really?
It may be an unpopular statement in some circles but use of the decoder is cheating and completely contrary to the spirit of the game. Why have trivia at all in these circumstances? Just give everyone 5/5 Supershots automatically.
I would love to see this issue cleaned up, stop cheating.
Lol.
No offence to eUK guys here but you're really naive.
Do you think the paras aren't using the trivia decoder? Of course they are lol, I don't know a para who doesn't use it lol.
Tbh, we haven't really got an excuse for this poor showing. It ended up ATLANTIS vs PEACE and we're getting epic pwned. Why? Because PEACE are better, the trivia decoder does not account for 80000 points in the underground, that's for sure.
