How to Win Friends and Influence People
•
by Adolphus Broadnax
On eRepublik, reputation is everything. If you want a reputation as a fighter or warrior, you have to train, work hard, buy the right gear, and put in the time. This is a war game, and war is a messy affair.
In previous articles I've expounded upon the theory of "stealing" Battlefield Hero awards and my view on the subject. I've mostly gotten agreement from people who have discussed it with me, with the notable exception of many Division 3 players that are not in my military unit.
Many Division 3 players seem to be under the impression that there is a "gentleman's agreement" with regards to the Battlefield Hero medals in Division 3. They've messaged each other, arranged, and colluded to secure Battlefield Hero awards without actually competing for them!
This is just a small sample of the obvious collusion I was able to dig up. I'm sure I could find plenty more proof, but I don't feel more is required. It's openly discussed as if there were a Battlefield Hero Cartel manipulating the results.
So, how does this factor into reputation and influencing people?
I don't play that little game. I play a war game, and I take what I want to take. I take BH when I feel like it. This pisses off quite a few people who want to play on Easy Mode. This has built me a reputation.
Apparently, fighting for BH instead of just dividing them up makes me a "covered [sic] chicken", though I think they meant "coward chicken". All this hatred and whining and the insults are only a smokescreen to cover up and distract from the truth -- these guys are scared of me because I won't roll over and play their little games. They know when I am around they will have to actually earn their stripes (and medals). They know I will fight tooth and nail to make the game more challenging.
After all, who the hell wants to play a military/war game in peacetime?
AB out.

I get BH medals vicariously thru you, thanks
You're welcome. I got 6 of them in a 26-minute period, which prompted the outburst seen above.
😃
There, I did give ya cc!
Get a job, ya bum...oh, wait...you aren't redbirdusa...
Whats with the ya bum thing, I am proud to be a bum!
Calling what you are doing as fighting really shows that your mind working in a sick way...fighting is the challenge of two people on opposite sides...compition is a way of fighting of two people on the same side...
Now bro what you are doing is not even stealing...it is a coward chicken attitude (thanks for spelling xd)
You're welcome. I figured it had to be "coward" because "covered chicken" doesn't make any sense unless I'm cooking. I already cooked some Mediterranean pasta with lamb so I'm not doing any more cooking tonight.
Ahahah xd ... Your sense of humour isnt making you more sympathic in my eye...🙂
I don't want sympathy. I want a challenge. I want people to try and stop me from taking BH so it's more challenging and fun.
Also, it's just a game so I don't take it personally. I don't care if people insult me, call me names, or threaten me. I still enjoy it. At the end of the day, it's a game, not real life or death. 😉
Some people take this stuff way too seriously.
By the way i am going to sleep dont steal my bh...stealing is bad...🙂
And dont think that you are the only one have money in this damn world...but most players donot have money for spending in this game..and so donot steal their money...
I'm not planning on targeting you specifically. I generally don't target specific players. I just decide it's time to get some BH and I go get them. Whether it's you or someone else doesn't matter to me.
It's just a game. Always business, never personal. 😉
Then play the game in fair....fairplay is your culture' s word....
It's perfectly fair. They can sit around and guard their BH just as much as I can take it away from them, right? Especially since they already have done damage and I start from 0. That's perfectly fair. 😉
Also, if you ever find yourself in a fair fight, it's because you did not properly prepare for it.
a fair fight, wouldn't that be at a fair... You don't fight because things are fair, you fight when somebodies not being fair...
then dont watch any sports match or sth..🙂
Love this quote "Then play the game in fair....fairplay is your culture' s word.... ". These people have decided to collude and and abuse the system(wonder if the admins should not be taking a look at that) and then they want to bleat about fair play. But yeah, easy mode on, no work no competition, just rewards and don’t you dare make it hard on me, for I am entitled......
I can't put a stop to it by myself, but I can sure piss in some bowls of Cheerios. 😉
Your sight looking thourough what is going on here is totally weird...
Where there is a cartel there will always be a free rider...
It was just a matter of time.
Rich 😛
What adolphus is doing...waiting for the last min. And hitting with some kind of script...rage mode on...is this what you bless? You people really need a moral lecture
It's not a script. I find battles I want to win, join, fight, and take the BH. 😉
Hark at you talking about morals. But you know what they say about people with a guilty conscience......
They get their BH taken away?
"script" this, is our culture's expression
the ferociousness, tenacity and adrenaline built up while having those discussions just makes my ePeen so much bigger! MY BH MY BH MY BH!!!!
damage accelerator in last minutes can only take it at right score. the convention is to respect other people's bh. they did not invent that convention. it was something they were taught and respected. breakin g a convention does not make you a hero or bad ass. your just an arrogant kid that thinks he will show everyone else how to play this game.
dont worry when you strike division 4 people i suspect your bh's will fizzle out.
I didn't agree to any conventions. Conventions like that are for cowards who are afraid of battle.
Also, all this crap you are spewing is pretty funny coming from a D4 guy with less than 85k strength and fewer than half as many BH medals as me. 😃
You must be an expert on winning BH medals! 😉
lol even at double my strength there is no guarantees in division 4. your the coward afraid of battle. once i passed a friend of mine at 80 million she pushed it p to 200 i went pass her again she pushed it up to 300 i passed her again and lad down my top damage she pushed in the end that 1 battle her damage to 2 billion to keep the 50 gold bh medal.
lay down a good score and then you have the right to resnipe the battle hero.
I'm pretty sure I don't need your blessing or belief that I have the "right" to play the game the way I see fit. Thanks for your opinion, though!
I've never stolen anything and my reputation remains impeccably untarnished. Let's be friends?
I've never stolen on here, either. Nobody's name is on the BH until you are awarded the medal. 😉
Really? I think you all need to stop looking in through rose colored glasses.
Take them off and realize there is a real world out here.
Crying about a BH is not going to help. If you couldn't do it, too bad, figure out a strategy to do so. If you can go for it! There is someone else who will if you dont do it. (they will)
This game does not care, just spend money and be happy. For who cant too bad that is how it rolls in this crap pot.
For who can great, for those who cant STFU.
redbirdusa the bum.
Get a job, ya redbird!
