Join the new world

Where ignorance predominates, vulgarity invariably asserts itself.
-Sir Humphrey Appleby


Another admin reform.

Good morning! It’s been a while since my last article, where I endorsed the introduction of wizardry; but with the vagueness and randomness of the various reforms taking place by the admins – I am unsure whether to expect my suggestions to take form; though my suggestions of beer and pirates would certainly be a welcome and interesting new chapter for the game.

This week, my article will be based around an aspect of eRepublik that we have inevitably witnessed and occasionally been part of: the world’s eNutters. We’ve all seen there kind, be it on Britain’s/America’s got talent where a lunatic waltzes onto the stage under the premise they’re the next world sensation – and giving all of us at home a good laugh when the dog decides to make love to the judges, or a political impression that sounds like a Nazi Julie Andrews.

One of the main aspects I feel of eRepublik is the nutter that goes around, trying to take over political parties and pumping several thousand gold of their own money in desperately trying to get some attention from the bemused members of the world community. We’ve all seen international adverts on the right-hand side of the screen declaring some sort of messiah and unreserved levels of righteousness – all for a humble vote on Election Day towards their extremely delicate manifestos. Indeed, why not throw in the odd radio broadcast?



It is thus proper procedure that most citizens decide to subscribe and vote their articles simply for the entertainment that it brings. The comments section thus becomes an ongoing battle between most other political parties against the political party under threat of a PTO – especially a PTO that isn’t necessarily just damaging but extremely embarrassing as well.

But it is exactly this sort of nuttery that keeps some people interested in the game, albeit to an extent. Due tot eh fact we can’t publish hostile articles to the admins, we just have a laugh at societies morons instead; even if you do offer a reasonable 50G for a presidential endorsement.



Final Joke

Our fifth year anniversary, today. No exchange of cards, no presents, no sex.

Over breakfast my wife turned to me and said," So, what is it you've missed most over the last five years?"

I looked at her sitting there in a pair of jogging pants, three stone over weight, a t-shirt covered in egg yolk, hair a mess and an upper lip in need of a shave.

I said," Probably my dignity."

Yours, as always,
