The Boy Without a Party
Gnilraps
Many, many pixels have been spent in service of detailing the unfortunate existence of current rotton egg Rosa Violet Carson (and to a lesser extent his not-so-harmless cell-mate Chickensguys).
I cannot add to the many paragraphs of well-researched, fact-checked, corroborated, and damning evidence against him.
Through it all, RVC continues to refer to the Socialist Freedom Party as “his” party.
SFP is being too sweet. I understand not wanting to have internal disputes in public, and sadly RVC’s devisive technique is to have very public conflicts while privately doing NOTHING AT ALL to resolve them. Conflict is his currency.
But if I were to give SFP a big baseball bat, I'd have to hope they'd know where they should put it. I know they know. And if they did, I wouldn't judge them.
Live long enough IRL and you’ll meet people who want to argue, not to solve a problem, but to drag you down into shared misery. eLife is no different.
Meet RVC.
I feel sorry for SFP.
This isn’t our first go-around with this particular citizen. The name has changed, but our astute community knew right away that Phil Harmony, who was himself the reincarnation of Valient Thor, is now RVC. We’re reasonably sure he’s shown up in a few other clown suits as well. A quick look at the spate of newly-spawned “citizens” in eUSA tells us that he’s also building an illegal army of votes. I wonder which party he will target with them?
Because that is the modus operandi of this foul offal. Stir up foment to weaken the solidarity of a group, then move in the multis to take it over.
Understand that for this particular individual, that IS the game he is playing.
He is not interested in GeoPolitics, Economic development, Publishing an interesting newspaper, or even mashing the red button. Rosa Violet Carson's game is to ruin yours.
While the rest of us are interested in the Political, Military, Publishing, or Economics modules, RVC is interested in a module of his own making: Cheating. It’s no wonder other notorious cheaters gravitate towards supporting him. It’s a thieves guild.
So we’ve seen it all before. Even publishing this article is regretful in that he receives the attention I’m giving him with open arms. That’s right, I will not have a single good thing to say about him, but he will be thankful for the press. Just think about what that means about the game he is playing.
When any publicity is good publicity you are probably a gigantic turd.
So I happily issue my KUDOS to the rest of SFP for openly rejecting him, for bravely battling him in the media where he laps up the attention like a dog licks vomit, and for publishing so many well-done articles detailing the career of a gigantic turd.
I stand with those in SFP who oppose that citizen.
And that brings me to my point.
RVC does not have any Party.
He doesn’t have a Military Unit. He doesn’t have a group of people who will defend him and support him. True, there will be those who take issue with how RVC is being treated, and in principle nobody should be treated with complete disdain…
...unless that is exactly what they are asking for.
Compete disdain is exactly what RVC is asking for from us.
If there is one thing that can unify SFP, BSP, WTP, Feds, and eCP (and the host of other legitimate parties who can’t help but be on notice because of the clones that are rising in eUSA), it is a common enemy. Thank you Ajay for teaching us how unified eUSA can be. Now your progeny seeks the same repudiation that you drank.
But Rosa Violet Carson does not have any Party.
He is not SFP.
He is NOT EZC.
He will not be eCP.
And he will be a resident alien in whatever other Party he chooses to squat his pimply buttcheeks into.
But Rosa Violet Carson does not have a Party. He is alone.
He may, however, have a little bit of help. So he is not to be ignored.
There is, however, a Party for you.
Chances are you already have a Political Party in eUSA. I hope you do. The Politics Module of eRepublik is pretty fun, and if you are willing to add the eUSA Forums url to your game, you can find out why Politics in eUSA is a better version of eRepublik than eRepublik.com itself!
One thing you’ll find there is the burgeoning Constitution Party. We’ve just emerged from the glowing embers of the legendary United States Workers Party where Workers over the years made massive contributions to the game and the meta-game.
Today eCP is beginning to take shape. And if you do not yet have a Political Party in eUSA I invite you to check us out.
Starting something new is an incredibly exciting thing to do in eRepublik. "Creative Sandbox" is what this game is best at, and the eCP Sandbox is filled with freshly-poured, still-smooth sand. There’s plenty of room to start building castles.
If you want to understand the nature of eConstitutionalism, check out my earlier article.
I will quote this from it:
In brief, the Constitution Party will be a political home to anyone who believes that the Constitution is the key to the best possible eUSA experience.
Our Constitution should be kept so that it insures full access to legislative power for all present and future citizens, codifies prudent stewardship of all tax revenue, and safeguards the present and future sovereignty of eUSA among eNations.
Access to legislative power
Stewardship of tax revenue
Sovereignty of eUSA
These three ideals, given the browser-game sandbox created by eRepublik itself, are too precious to entrust to individuals so they must be upheld by constitutional law. If preserved, eUSA will retain whatever “freedom” can be said to exist in a browser game owned and operated by a private company.
Drop me a note. Let’s play eRepublik together.
And let’s all just grab a beer and sit around the proverbial table with our friends from SFP, BSP, WTP, and Fedlandia while we laugh about the little boy who has no Party. After we're done drinking, let's go keep arguing at the Forum where we will not be bothered by Rosa Violet Carson.
That is where you'll find me.

Earthling Gnilraps, why are you calling my name? Why do you think it is necessary to mention me, whenever you need to attack your gaming opponents. You seem to very well know the faulty human strategy called "attack to defend". I remember you very well. You were that candidate, who, on one hand, upheld the concept that it is best to fiercely attack a group of citizens in public, blaming them for whatever is wrong in the community and on the other hand conspired with the same group, to secure votes for your presidential election. Everybody has seen the proof, something you couldn't deny and didn't even try. The distraction to create a buggy-man, you and your elitist friends used was highly efficient in the past. But times have changed. The control over the eUS society by hordes of fake accounts and bot-farms is coming to an end. Soon you'll see them fall. You've hijacked a whole nation by evil means, you cheated and lied almost the whole time. Your wicked game is that of total control, alienation from the player base and destruction of any honest opposition to this evil game. You have used bribes, deployed covert agents to submerge whole parties. Your shameful trickery is one of the worst ever seen. You are the self-proclaimed hero who wants his cheating to be forgiven, because you present it as a way of salvation, as a necessity of the survival of your nation. The wickedness of enforcing meta-rules, created outside of the game, that enslave every single player, excludes anyone who questions this false authority, that is based on a negative concept of casting players out because of their beliefs, cant be upheld for any longer. The foundations are lies. The only thing that keeps this system of falling apart is the willingness of the ones you've enslaved, to accept it.
And acceptance is no more.
Many of the members of your nation are waking up, questioning the very fundamentals of this control system you've put in place.
They won't be silent anymore.
Real strange, that sounds exactly like Rosa.
You seem to know much about Rosa. Tell me a story about her without lying. I know it's hard for you, as you are used to it. But please try, I'm listening.
Lol

Squash the turd!
Flushing would be less odorous
but not as satisfying. 🙂
Well said sir o7
having trouble getting access to the forums ...
To any reader that might have Rosa in their ear:
Valiant Thor's going to turn on you, the second they don't support his agenda. If you aren't happy with things in the eUS, you'd best find a different ally.
Even if you agree with 90% Of what he says the moment you do not agree with him or say something he doesn't agree with he'll turn.
Nosey, aimie smackie thingy. Naily hammery headie thingy as well. 😃
You're feeding him well.
A very good article as always Gnilraps.
Constitution Party... a political home to anyone who believes that the Constitution is the key to the best possible eUSA experience
Excellent article.
And I know exactly how to use that bat.
Though I do prefer other..um, methods.

Ok. I return now to my regularly scheduled clicking.
I refuse to click on schedule!
Brilliant Miriam. Nobody binds you. Get lost!

Best written article of the new year.
Thank you.
Well written article, Gnil. You seem like an articulate, educated fellow. Why on Earth do you spend such efforts trying to steer the course of what is arguably among the worst 'games' to ever? You are articulate and clearly educated. Your grammar is well beyond the literacy of most of the players in this game. And, while I'm not a fan of the single-sentence paragraphs that are prevalent on the internet today, I get that it is the side effect of the 140 Character world so I guess I'll eventually have to learn to live with it since I clearly can't change it.
So it goes with this site. There are immutable facts of the game that we simply can't change. Why? Because the game is designed to give the very people you're condemning a safe place to live out their fantasies. The game is designed to reward folks who want to stir up problems. You could go so far as to say that purposefully attracts people to have multiple accounts. While its true that the game moderators put up a strong face that they are against it, multies contribute to active citizen count and active accounts are a measure of success for any online app.
Think of the ways eRep entices shifty, poorly adjusted players to cheat. It isn't overt but the lure of make-believe power to the socially awkward is a drug. Consider that any person who genuinely seeks power on influence in eRepublik is probably not anyone whom you'd ever want to follow. I'm not talking about the person who clicks the fight button, huts badges, or who participates in the political or RP aspect of the game. I'm talking about the person who's goal it is to win a game that's unwinnable or to change a game that is irreparably flawed by design. There is no "meta" experience that can fix that.
I leave you with this.. After 10 years of product design, this is what we have. That is no accident, Gnil. It is exactly as the designers hoped. This hatred of an avatar, polarization, name calling - that is the game.
