DIVIDE AND CONQUER

Day 5,006, 07:33 Published in USA USA by PlasticAlley

Dear eRepublikans,

This is my last article concerning Day 5000 updates.

I started this game in 2012 and as long as i can remember,
eRep labs has been encouraging in multiple ways the separation
of the players into 3 major groups.

(Usually by allowing one country/alliance to cheat for a long time,
conquering the other alliances and then by implementing the exact
opposite approach (favoring the opposite side), to give a solution
to the problem which they allowed to grow in the first place !!)

It is a very old and successful tactic on how to control the masses.

You just divide them into smaller groups which are a lot easier
to control by turning one against the other.


This way, they always have at least one third of the players supporting
the Admins because changes that are applied will surely fit at least
the needs of that one third.

One third will be indifferent and the final third, will be against
the changes made.

Everyone sees it, few notice what is going on and even fewer do
something about it that makes any difference
(they usually leave or
become 2 clickers until they decide to leave as well).





We all have seen and we all know this kind of tactics that they use


- Pack-buyers Vs non-buyers

- Cheaters Vs non-cheaters

- Medal farmers Vs non farmers

- Small accounts Vs big accounts

etc etc etc...


These tactics were used by the Romans, the Nazis, the Soviets
and in fact everyone that wants to control masses, including religions,
governments and more..

You stay divided as eRep will consume and devour you, one group at a time,
one person at a time, until they have squeezed all the money out of your pockets
and all the will to continue playing this game.


Please... STAY DIVIDED !!


Make it easier for eRep to accomplish it's goals, while you are too busy
hunting down "the bad guys" and openly supporting any and all changes
in the game (if they benefit you), not paying attention to the big picture.


After all, why do you care ?

eRep is hurting the "others" not you..



Right ??


I will close my article with this:






"First they came …" is the poetic form of a 1946 post-war confessional
prose by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984).

It is about the cowardice of German intellectuals and certain clergy
(including by his own admission Niemöller himself) following the Nazis'
rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets,
group after group.

Many variations and adaptations in the spirit of the original have been
published in the English language.

It deals with themes of persecution, guilt, repentance, and personal
responsibility
.



GOODNIGHT AND GOOD LUCK !!




Thank you...
