Taking A Stand Against "Pertamaxx" !
•
by Tecchi
" Pertamax. An Indonesian word meaning "To be Number One" is an eIndonesian trend that appears after every newspaper article. This custom has quickly spread to Australia, infecting Australian newspaper article comments and has come into the public eye.
Tecchi, Editor of The Hellfish Chronicle, resists this migration of eIndonesian trends and calls out to all Australian Citizens to help him fight the infection of Pertamaxx: "
As a proud Australian citizen i'm sick to death of "Pertamaxxx" and "Keduaxxx" in our articles. We are no longer part of eIndonesia, so why should we continue to imitate their customs and trends?
Sure, we can have friendly relations with eIndo, but becoming their clones? Ridiculous.
I'd rather see constructive comments in Australian news articles rather than looking at the first few comments being either:
1. Pertamaxxxx,
2. Aww no Pertamaxx
or 3. Keduaxxx
Its a pretty childish and silly practice, however, I understand it is common practice in many forums and imageboards. Therefore; Citizens of Australia, i pledge to you a solution.
Instead of using Indonesian slang, use "First" and "Second" as you see in many english based forums.
There are still a fair few Indonesians in Australian territory for whatever reason, so if article writers just comment their first posts with "First", the Indonesian custom of "Pertamaxx" will be eventually phased out for good.
Replace the trend. Begin a new custom. Unite against Pertamaxx!!!

Wait, eighth...oh, shucks.
What do we want?
NO PERTAMAXX!!
When do we want it?
NOW!!
Wow, what a stupid article.
If I tell you not to think of a ball, what do you think of?
That is true Imagic, however, if i say nothing its not just gonna go away on its own. It'll only get worse.
I think you'll find that if erepublik had more articles of substance that contained debatable topics, people would be less inclined to spam articles and more likely to make a valuable contribution.
Say for example if someone had actually bothered to begin discussions of the future course of the eAustralian economy, as opposed to the more common articles simply commenting on how it is doing, discussions could begin.
This would have a 3 pronged affect of a) actual discussion and reduced spam, b) a greater culture to encourage people to get involved in their community and c) give the Government an idea of the sentiments of the people. This last point is especially important considering the current one-party 'democracy' that we have induced ourselves into in the misguided belief that it will increase stability and therefore prosperity.
My last question, can I become a commentator for you're newspaper in light of the fact I don't have the gold & exp. to start a newspaper myself? PM if interested.
Super elite pertamaxxx squad here..
===================================
I'm glad someone finally talked about this. I was also sick to death with "pertamaxx". But... why replace it with 'first' and 'second' anyway? This means that the first and second, and perhaps the next 4 for the lagging internet posts will be completely irrelevant and off topic, so it is still not, as you say, "constructive comments in Australian news articles". Unless, of course, I am missing something that everyone else sees, and that saying 'first' and 'second' is vitally important to every news article that is released.
well what else are you gonna do when NSW is a puppet state of eIndo. there i said it
lol
so, what is the different between pertamax with first and second my friend 🙂
pertamax not only came to australia, buat also in spain and several countries. Its actually fun to be the first who post something. Beside, after that blablablaxxx, actual serious comment will be applied.
But well, its up to you. I do understand that not many people has the same fun, just like me who really2x hate that trivia 😛
@Bjorn Zurek
Who said that NSW is Indonesian puppet? You just born for days and know everything. wow, great 🙂 😛
Australia fought for months to achieve their country and they have their country now because of long serious diplomatic talk with us. Dont dishonor yourself with your own judgment.
Well i dislike "first" and "second" also. But i realised that itd be much easier to replace an indonesian trend with an english one.
And, as n3m0 said, its a bit of fun to go "first" and "second" in an article - as long as its alongside a constructive comment.
For example:
"Yay First.
I believe such and such is a good idea blah blah etc."
EIGHTEENTH!!!! too far? haha
i rather enjoy this "pertamaxx" thing it puts the fun in boring articles
I don't use pertamxx in my news articles.
Its not only in eAustralia, its all over the eWorld. stupid word tbh.
It's more of the fact that It is quite literally just spam.
Permataxxx and First are literally just spam!
Even in decent debatable and well written articles someone just has to write in Permataxxx.
We're just going to have to live with it.
It would be better if people wrote Permataxxx THEN a decent opinion.

@Ollie: Thats what i was saying. Spam is inevitable, if spam doesnt go away i'd rather settle it being in english rather than indonesian.
THIS IS AUSTRALIAAAAA!!!! >_
