Vergogna Fyrom!

Scusate per il secondo articolo nello stesso giorno.. Giuro prima e ultima volta che lo faccio ma credo che questa discussione meriti più visibilità. La discussione è questa. Leggetevi pure l'articolo ma sopratutto i commenti, e munitevi di google translate:

Hoban washburne:I must disagree with the conclusion that eMacedonia is cheating. If you follow macedonian press there is a campaign against users that use multiple accounts and they are swiftly reported and many are banned.

Another strong argument against using bots is that this game has couple of levels of security intended to stop such things. For example you have the CAPTCHA test on random number of clicks and you have the PIN number for transfer of goods and gold.

I understand your concern and the need for explanation why you are losing from such a small country but there is simple one (and very true I must add): This game happens to be popular in Macedonia at the moment and 15000 players is not really a big number if you take the fact that it is advertised now for months on various macedonian web portals and couple of times on one of the most watched televisions.

So just face it, this game is not that really big in Italy... also your eGovernment made a mistake when they planned the attack on Montenegro... and is not trying hard enough to advertise this game to attract many new players (which are the core of success in this game).

x3rr3x: Pff just shush.. Just in the last 2 days we found over 10 fakes from FYROM .. Wow! Was them the only one cheating in a population of 13000? Pff.. That's ridicolous.. Btw 13000 users on 2 millions RL people? Bauhauahua.. I lol'd so hard.. We're almost 60 millions and almost 3000 in game.. U r gross.. Shame on u FYROM-Friends™ people..

Dr.Male😡Hoban Washburne:
In the first days Macedonia was created I clearly remember the graph of population on http://ereptools.net/ (a nice erep statistic site, unfortunately now offline), your country grow with a straight line, with the same growth at all the hour of the day, LOL! The line seems like it was draw with a ruler!

While all other country population grow irregular, with peak grown on hour in daylight, when real people (that strange life form based on carbon and not on silicon like mayority of your Friends™ in eMacedona) are awake)

I don't want/care to convince you, but not try to make fun of us, and please, play the game with fair and not with fake ; ) : P

"Btw 13000 users on 2 millions RL people? Bauhauahua.. I lol'd so hard.. We're almost 60 millions and almost 3000 in game.. "

India has more than 1 billion citizens, but has only 600 active players here. So using your argument would you conclude that Italians are cheaters, because they have 6 times more players than India (and yet they have 20 times less citizens in RL)?

@Dr.Male
That was more than 6 months ago, if you take a look at the stats for the last week it looks the same as for any other country.

Also I see that you completely ignored my explanation why the numbers are high. : (

Noone is making fun of you, what would be the point?

Redsave😡Hoban Washburne

Macedonia, Internet users: 1,057,400, active erepublik players: 14,000
Italy, Internet users: 30,026,400, active erepublik players: 2500
India, Internet users: 81,000,000, active erepublik players: 600

Macedonia: 1.3% of internet users plays erepublik.
Italy: 0,008333333% of internet users plays erepublik.
India: 0,000740741% of internet users plays erepublik.

So, compared, we've about 10 times the erepublik players of India.
Macedonia has about 1756 times the erepublik players of India.

yes, this proves that in the last times you didn't create great number of fake, cause you don't need much more of it, you have already a huge number to grow and rank up xD
Imagine a graph like that but without curves, a straight line, than you can see the graph I saw in the firsts day of the creation your country, from 0 to +8000 inhabitants, in just a few days : )

I read your explanation, and I know that you (talking about real people) are more than us, but not that much! xD



Quindi tutti uniti a gridare : SHAME ON YOU FYROM!


EDIT:
Per correttezza d'informazione ecco l'ultima risposta di hoban a difesa di FYROM

Hoban Washburne@RedSave
Well you actually proved my point and I am thankful for that. Those numbers show popularity and diversity by demographics, they don't approve or dissaprove using fake accounts as you are leaving out number of important factors. You should take a look at the shouts or see how many articles and comments are written per day in the eMacedonian press, something that can't be handled by fake accounts and bots without detection. Also, as you probably know, this game is popular in all balkan states because of the political issues from RL. Take a look at Serbs and Croats, do you really think that they would be in such a big number if they hadn't history of conflicts?

On the other hand, the majority of the players from western europe are not that much motivated around here. They have probably smarter things to do...

And last, imagine, If you advertise this game on one of your most watched television stations and put the add on every major portal I am sure that you will have far more than 14000 players in a few hours.

Look at the visits per country, Erepublik is 18th most visited site in Macedonia and 2555th in Italy
I assume that this is a part of the great cheating conspiracy.

2nd EDIT:
Ohohooh Questo merita un'altra editata:

Dr.Male😡Hoban Washburne:

"The data comes from Alexa’s panel of Toolbar users" macedonian really use more erep than twitter?
google 16° and erep 18°
LOL, you are kidding us!

Anyway, 15000 in game and this evening 177 in chat, italy 2500 inhabitants and 104 in chat, mmm, maybe because fake are useless? xD

1st EDIT by Dr.Male:
*useless in chat of course, in battle you well know their use : P

Fail prove
"Alexa stats are completely unreliable unless you're trying to find out how many people are using their tool bar."
LOL.

That was EPIC! EPIC FAIL BY FYROM! SHAME ON YOU FYROM!
