Contempt, Disrepect, and Outright Lies

I Didn't Want to Write This Article

I don't like being in political dust ups. I don't. I try my best to give people the opportunity to make right choices, to not be selfish, to not put their personal priorities over that of the collective country's priorities.

To our collective detriment, there is a significant number of our population who are not willing to cooperatively and collaboratively work with the rest of the population. This segment of the population questions the legitimacy of our collective governance as expressed by the eUSA Forums. This segment is encouraged and empowered by Dominar Rygel XVI the president of the WTP.

We have a problem. Several problems, actually.



There has been a long history of certain members of the eUSA promoting granting citizenship to foreign citizens in exchange for party membership. This has happened so many times I have lost count. Gnilraps recently recounted ONE of these incidents in his paper. Now we have another incident.

The WTP is approving citizens from foreign countries to boost their numbers.

The number of unsanctioned and rogue citizenship approvals by members of the WTP has risen dramatically in the past few weeks. This has come with the encouragement of Dominar Rygel XVI, the recently-elected president of the WTP:

"If you can bring someone you know in real life to the game, even better. If they're in another country and want to come here, that also works too."

That's straight from an in-game mass message by Dominar to WTP members, encouraging current members to recruit potential members from other countries.

But don't take my word for it, check out the recent citizenship approvals in-game for yourself:

https://www.erepublik.com/en/country/USA/citizenship/applications/approved/1650

The final straw was the four approvals on May 15th. There were several more from April 25th and May 3rd. All by WTP Congressmembers, all not approved, all joined the WTP. To add greater insult to this, Andreas.Antoniou (https://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/9454382) resigned from Congress after granting their two approvals.

You're going to be told that the process is wrong, we should let more people in, that rainy sunday, the IES Director, isn't loyal and is biased. Keep your focus! This is how a PTO works until it's too late.



Forum Multis

Dominar has been confirmed as Richard Nixon II at the eUSA Forums. Richard Nixon II was an original member of the forums from years ago and the account hasn't been active for years. Recently, it was accessed and linked to Dominar.

We don't allow forum multis for good reason. I don't typically out people for doing so as long as they approach me about it first. That did not occur in this case. I am currently in the process of banning accounts at the forum for multiple account access. I was hoping to first ask Dominar which account he would prefer to keep but it appears that I won't get the chance...

The forum interface doesn't allow for easy cross-referencing of account information. I have been doing searches through the database and found some... interesting... things. There were a minimum of 1,000 accounts that were at some point in use by the same person - that is, 500 separate incidents of multi'ing. Some incidents had more accounts associated but those were usually run by spammers.

I have taken steps to ban and delete these accounts. To date I have deleted 755 spammer accounts and accounts that never completed registration. In addition I banned 118 multi accounts. This is about 2/3 complete. It's painstaking and time consuming but well worth it.

I would like to point out that I did not take action on 8 separate accounts. Dominar's and Richard Nixon II's accounts were two of those eight.



Dominar Lies for Your Sympathy

So... probably the part for which I will get the most complaints. I don't care. I don't like insincerity. There are two separate articles, still available at the time this article was published, in Dominar's newspaper, that are contradictory concerning the death of his RL father:

This one's from Day 2,486:

This one's from Day 3,076:
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/rest-in-peace-to-my-father-2593759/1/20

Go read them. If they have been deleted and cannot, I have linked screenshots:







Look, folks, this is incredibly stupid and insulting. It's obvious that Dominar has jacking with you all, preying upon your goodwill and empathy to garner political capital in a bullshit browser game. It's pathetic. Dom claimed that his father died during 9/11 in that article in 2014, purely because the eUSA was going to be attacked via Airstrike from Thailand on the exact anniversary to troll us. He then nearly two years later, in 2016, claimed that his father, a well-known and reputable school superintendent in New Jersey, had recently passed. The content of the latter article was entirely taken from the obituary, located here:

http://www.tributes.com/obituary/show/Steven-J.-Mayer-103501319

The picture of the five men in that article were taken from Dr. Mayer's Facebook page.

So which is it, Dom? Did your father die in 2001 during the 9/11 attacks or was he the Robbinsville School System Superintendent and died 15 years later?

Honestly I don't even care which is which. This crosses the line for role play even for me.

The Bigger Picture

Look, everyone, the eUSA Forums exist as a resource for us all. Ever wonder why a very loud segment has consistently discouraged party members from using it? It's because they don't CONTROL it. And here we have a perfect storm illustrating both why it's so important and why it threatens some. It's important because it's a LEVEL PLAYING FIELD and can be a valuable tool in verifying the validity of accounts in a game to which many contribute money. It's a threat because it's run by me, someone who will always uphold a high ethical standard and not allow it to be abused by those who will stop at nothing to achieve their bullshit browser game political dreams.

This is a crisis moment and will only get worse. More citizenships will be granted and the WTP membership numbers will grow accordingly. Dominar will continue to lie to you and believe it's OK. The remainder of the community will be ignored, your votes will be diluted, and the common rules under which the rest of us operated for many years will continue to be disregarded.

I call on Dominar Rygel to resign from the WTP.

I call on the WTP membership to demand Dominar's resignation.

I call on the eUSA Congress to Blacklist Dominar Rygel XVI.

I call on everyone to register on the eUSA forums, reject the lawless nature of these citizenship approvals, and join the rest of us in building a stronger, more resilient country.

(NOTE: I have friends in the Black Sheep Party and they traditionally have eschewed all external sites outside of the game. I am politely asking you all to please reconsider this stance, for the sake of us all collectively. I will ensure that the forums are open and welcoming to you should you choose to come join.)
