Recent Bans and Multi Accusation Clarification

Day 878, 12:31 Published in South Korea United Arab Emirates by Mark Wahlberg

As many of you probably know, Monkey111 was banned yesterday by the admins for the apparent use of multiple accounts. As you probably also know, admins only judge whether you are using multis by behavior, IP Address is not a factor.

I have been in contact with Monkey since his ban, and we have found the most likely answer as to why he was banned. And also, why I am now being accused by Kim Yu-Na of using multis myself.

On Facepunch's eRepublik thread, Monkey111 has posted his eRepublik referral link several times for new FPers to register from and benefit by getting gold. On April 15th, about five people reached level 6 on that same day. One day later, Monkey was banned for multiple accounts. It is only logical that someone registered several accounts under the referral link and made it look as though he was using the multis.

Who would have done this?

Someone who visits Facepunch, someone who doesn't want Monkey or myself around anymore. Kim Yu-Na accused me in the media of using multis to vote for myself in PNK. Elgrand messaged Monkey on Facepunch talking about how he could "sink so low" as to use multis. I know that neither Monkey nor myself would do something like this, and especially be so stupid as to use our own referral links and then make it blatantly obvious we were using them for our own personal gain. We're veteran players, we wouldn't do something as idiotic as that. This is obviously an attempt to remove us both from South Korea.

Monkey wouldn't need multis anyway, because he ran without opposition in FSDP. If I was using multis to vote for myself, don't you think I would have used enough to actually get into the PP seat in PNK? Breton Boy beat me by 7 votes even after the fact. This is all a stupid trick played by a stupid citizen.

Thanks to all the real voters who voted for me in PNK, but I've returned to FSDP with my colleagues. I will continue to serve the country as best as I can, and I hope you all understand that neither Monkey nor I used multis. Congratulations to everyone who won.
