The Iceman Leaveth
Not all military victories occur in battle.
Just 2 days after dropping almost 7 Million damage in Nevada, a battle eUSA wanted to win very badly but lost, Iceman74 has been permanently BANNED. If only his 6,883,724 damage could be taken back too. But Nevada will remain in Serbia’s hands for now.
Iceman74 was a heavy hitter, but he takes with him a lot more than just the 15,827,481 damage he averaged over the last 7 days of his eLife. His banning also locks away the following assets and resources that will never again be put into service for Serbia:
He was the Leader of the GROMOVNICI Military Unit. That’s 40 Gold wasted.
He was the “publisher” of LEDENE NOVINE, which earned him a Media Mogul despite never having published a single article. Not sure how much that might have cost…
&
He was the owner/manager of 5 fully-staffed Q5 Weapons Companies. Let’s figure those at current Market value of 342 Gold per factory. That’s 1710 Gold down the crapper.
He was the ownder/manager of 3 fully-staffed Q5 Food factories. Bye-bye 1026 more Gold.
With a Deer Farm and a Rubber Factory, he takes another 70 Gold to his grave.
Looking over his stats from the past couple days, I found 240 Bazooka hits. Yes. 240. Divided by 3 hits per Bazooka, that is 80 Bazookas used in 3 days. This is just me guessing, but does anyone think he may have bout the biggest Gold Pack, say, 8 times? That’s 3120 Gold, plus whatever % bonus he got, (I’m guessing probably 20
😵so 3744Gold purchased for 792 euros or $1,144. Gone.
This World Class Force who was closing in on his 20th Super Soldier medal is no more.
And you can bury at least 6590 Gold along with him. Tutankhamun, Pushah.
I’m thinking he had a nice piece of property picked out in Texas. Maybe something just outside Austin (Serbians love Country Music). Too bad he'll never live there.
Yes, this is a victory for TERRA/EDEN. It isn’t a victory we earned, unless you count the damage we suffered at his hands a payment. No, it is a victory that Iceman74 earned for us.
Thank you, Iceman74, for giving TERRA/EDEN so much today. We’ll eventually have Nevada back. And Texas too.
But you will never, ever, ever again work as manager in your factories.
Your Military Unit will be abandoned and replaced.
The strength you’ve been spending 3.47 Gold/day to build will never again cause any damage.
Your World Class Force** is now a World Class Farce**.
And your 108 Battle Hero Medals, 40 Campaign Hero Medals, and your (LOL) “Society Builder *cough* Medal” have been laid to rest with you in a sarcophagus somewhere in Belgrade where your eCorpse will lay rotting beneath the Fruit bonus of that region.
Some day when the forces of TERRA/EDEN conquer Belgrade, we will dig you up and dance around the fire until the early morning light as we guzzle plundered Šljivovica and devour your Ćevapčići.
Goodbye Iceman74. You are done.
Thanks for reading,

When the whining begins, I wouldn't be surprised he gets pardoned like Lazocheaters did...
*goes to dig up medals in Belgrade*
I lol'd
Best article ever LOOOOL
Thank you Gnilraps
Really nice use of gifs there! o/
to illustrate a great coup of justice, if the ruling holds....
Wow, $1.144, on a browser game. I have not decided if I will spend money on this game yet, but my first instinct is a big fat NO! Seems cheating is rampant, with the easiest way to cheat being 'mulities'. Sorry, but if I am going to 'lose' to cheaters I'm sure not going to pay for the privilege.
It is rare occasion for me to spend money on internet games. Even less of a chance on a browser game. 😛
xD at Kijiman
He was not spending that kind of money, he was a cheater!
irl I'm firmly middle class. I would have to hit the lottery before I spent i dime on gold.
only one thing...
if he had money why would he cheat?
and vice versa ; )
my guess is he cheated, but that means he spent no money here.
okay, he may have cheated AND used rl money, but that is not that probable. managing lots of multies takes time, and big moneyspenders usually arent known for their patience
as far as im concerned, they should ban all cheaters 🙂
I wish someone will write such a article for me when i will die... not that I'm a cheater... but still...
:😁
You Sir, are brilliant! Subscribed.
I play games to win within the frame work given such as this one. Why play a game simply to cheat to win. What is worse is this game can't be 'won' in the traditional sense. This player was obviously very young with lots of time to kill.
Good Stuff
interesting

Jovan is probably right. If you were to spend rl money on this game you would never risk getting banned.
There are some nubish aspects like MM medal. It costs nothing. Have you ever heard of MM organized subscriptions? Serbs did a lot of them.
Also bazookas. I knew ppl who had like 20 of them assembled and they were not as big hitters as he was.
He was leader and probably heaviest hitter in his unit, so many of his comrades and friends would gladly help him out with money/food/weapons. He has probably received help from Serbian government as one of its biggest tanks too. So he didn't need as much as gold as you've mentioned.
Apart from that it pretty good article. And if he did cheated, he deserved this ban. And it is a big victory indeed.
huehuehuehue
He is going to be unbanned, I'm almost sure about that (after EDEN/TERRA regain few more territories). He is not cheater.
It says: "Citizen permanently banned for using system exploits."
mashinedramon, STFU.
Voted.
Quality as usual...voted
Voted good sir funny read

great article mate
FREE TEXAS!
Xaxaxa! Good one! Vote!
FAIL SERBIAN CHEATERS
Romper +1 Lazocheaters are still here unbanned and underground
if the game naver saw a penny from his pocket, if all properties and gold are from exploits, then he will never comeback, no matter how much ONE will be winning. But if he has been a customer, I really don't know if they will keep the ban.
In any case, a cheater less, a win for all of us and the game itself. It would be even better if they removed his influence from all his recent battles.
Cheaters, GTFO our game.
true story...
A victory for everyone.
xD
Cheaters, GTFO our game. X2
On all sides.
When you mouse over the "Permanent Banned" icon, it says "temporarily suspended." O_o
lol

This would have been a very good and a very true article if
1. the author had known anything about how things work in eSerbia.Members of military units work in factories making their own raw, food and tanks. The salary is the lowest possible, but they are given food and tanks according to their strength. Whatever they produce in their own factories is either spent, or sold, or most often donated to the ones who can use them best. In this case, for Iceman74.
2. the damage he had made in the past few weeks hadn't made so many changes in the world map. With all their rl money, the rest of the world cannot conquer as much as the Serbs do. And it is not about the money they spend, but about how they manage to do it without it.
3. the Americans hadn't whined and weeped to admins that the game is not interesting anymore because they are not the winners.
4. the author had known how Serbian military units plan their moves. Precisely, his military unit Gromovnici http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/group-show/634 has two subunits, Red Sv. Djordja (St.George's Order) and Akademija (Academy), comprising "weaker" soldiers. All three units still exist and have regular chat meetings. And Iceman is still there. The commanders in charge share refund to the soldiers who are still fighting.
The truth is that admins didn't like the order Iceman gave to his unit - whoever wins the mercenary medal will be expelled from the unit. They are forbidden to fight against their country and the allies. After the first article published about the traitors, Iceman was banned.
So, dear readers, if you want to know the truth about the no.1 in one country, you need to know more about the country itself.
Like it or not, Iceman is still there. Much more liked than ever before. Sorry. Serbia shall remain one of the top ecountries, despite his ban.
explain 80 bazookas
"Not all military victories occur in battle."
Does it mean that the eAmericans need to have the strong playes banned in order to regain their territories?
no vote
All that gold...
...flushed down ANCIENT SERVIAN TOILETS.
Additional thought: Why would someone with such a high strength/rank even really worry about bazookas? A bazooka does a little less than the equivalent of two fights with a tank for me. Iceman was even higher up than I am.
