A Newb's Perspective: Vol 2

Day 1,519, 12:58 • Published in USA USA

• by Malarkey83

After considerable deliberation, my expert advisers and I have come together with a plan/theme for this newspaper.

Here you can see me, and my Managing Editor SladeCash, hard at work.

What does eRep look like through the eyes of the newb? Well, to be honest I hate the term newb. I may be inexperienced but I'm not an idiot. You don't need to talk to me like I'm a 5th grader. Granted, if the shoe fits...idk...buy it I guess. I'm horrible with expressions.

I wish there was some sort of guide/history/textbook to explain to us newbs the history of eRep. Why is China our friend and UK an enemy? What the heck is TEDEN? Why are newbs so disliked, almost to the point of hatred, and yet we're the necessary sheep to bend and mold into voters and soldiers? Everyone complains about PtH, and yet I have no understanding of why he's so vilified other that some explanation about him being in bed with the Serbians? HUH????

If these things do exist, please veterans, help us!

And now, what you're truly here to see:

ENDORSEMENTS:

The Frontline News
Famous

Oh, and hot chicks:

Yes, Olivia Munn...she's hot and plays/knows video games

AE Roland Day 1,519, 13:38

But seriously you can check out the Wiki for tons of info on the history of eRep

Malarkey83 Day 1,519, 13:40

eRep has a wiki? Roland...this is the kinda info i could use

greeling Day 1,519, 13:48

http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Main_Page look up things and learn about the history, ask people questions and most will answer

Good good idea. Bring in specialists, there is an idea

"I hate the term newb. I may be inexperienced but I'm not an idiot"
When the term newbs/newbies is used to refer to new players,it doesn't mean idiot at all. It just means that those players are new and hence inexperienced, weak in the battlefield, e-poor etc.

"Why are newbs so disliked, almost to the point of hatred"
You've probably come across the wrong people😛 I don't think that newbs are disliked/hated, apart from some elitists perhaps😛

BOO to Rham Emanuel

@ Dodona - While I know that noob doesn't mean idiot, the response some players get ( I myself have both received and given it) isn't always helpful and can sometimes be short.

I understand not all players are like this...however it does occur.

Also...thank you to Roland and Greeling...your information has been invaluable as i'm finding myself lost on eRep wiki like normal Wiki...go to search for 1 thing...an hour later, you're still on the site reading
