The Villain, Our Enemy
•
by Shinybluepope
These days, eJapan is a mostly quiet community. From time to time we do not even have five articles to fill the Top 5 Media on the erepublik first page. During these times, those of us with newspapers must work to point fingers, produce propaganda, and essentially create scapegoats. In real life, this mostly creates unneeded tension and damaged personal lives. In Erepublik, what amounts to institutionalized gossip creates currents of feelings and activity.
We must work harder to build up heroes and villains. The awesome thing about Erepublik is that we do not need bosses at the end of levels. People's innate douchebaggery or benevolence tends to establish them as trusted allies or Kefkas (look up the damn reference if you don't know who Kefka is).
That being said, heroes and villains will only really gain power and rise up as powerful rallying subjects if we use the media to build them up. Build up is incredibly important in developing the story for and hatred towards a villain. Anyone remember Baigan? Probably not. The guy barely made an appearance in FF2(IV). Golbez, on the other hand, probably is still burnt into the mind of most folks who played FF2. If that game is too old for you, get off my lawn.
He was FABULOUS… an incredibly memorable villain.
Our Villains
Respecting this need to build up villains to make them into a rallying instrument for activity, I bring you evidence of our greatest enemy to date: the eIndonesians. We all already know of their attempts to overthrow our most noble of governments (hail the emperor and all that good stuff). Now they seek to enrich themselves off of our markets and workers through the 3CaTs.LTD organization.
The 3CaTs.LTD has very problematic ties.

Fellow eJapanese, I call all of you to avoid this organization and its companies, Pie Q2 and Wheat Q2, at all costs. We will not allow this taint to continue in our markets. Avoid their goods. Avoid their job offers. Avoid their trannies. Let us make sure that only Indo cloning technology will possibly provide these companies with a work force.
3CaTs.LTD is only looking to put things in us that we do not want.
Work for a better eJapan. Buy from eJapanese or ally companies. Boycott all 3CaTs.LTD associated goods and commodities!
Shout out to the Rebun Demon Squad
Given all this discussion of our current villain, I wanted to also say thank you to Gatoja, Anon Bliss, and Winston Wu for stepping up and helping with our congressional elections by acting as congressional candidates. Thank you for helping. This place is a little less eIndo thanks to you.

Ah, my favorite villain. Dear Sug sug, we shall one day battle to the DEATH.
Wow great find with the Angel and Demon org you definitely have my respect.

40 G's wooow
While scapegoating is usually an overall negative, it is important to identify and confront bad behavior, such as secretive policy-making (inherently exclusivist and anti-democratic) or attempts at domination of the markets.
There have been a lot of odd sellers in our markets, and I applaud this article's attempt to call them out. It would also be nice if there was a list of big companies with their owners/ownership. For example, I usually buy my food from Ruhi no Mahou Cafe (virusxpl or Roland_up's company, both good eJapanese) and use weapons from the Black Dragon companies (long time eJapanese company). Dragonforce Imperial is another option if you don't mind supporting FoH/pro-eUSA cliques.
Many of the rest of the companies appear to be foreigners, and I would rather buy eJapanese to keep our JPY & gold in our economy.
yuriko omga whahaha ^.^
Yep KITA, still bringing up the FOH stuff... Hilariously wrong again. You even point out how scapegoating is wrong, then you fall back to your favorite scapegoat instantly.
