[ARP] I Aim To Misbehave
Cerb
The weary yet dogged travelers of the ARP continue on
(Theme music for this article - click here)
Well, fair citizens of the eUSA, the journey through the timeless (in good ways and bad) realm of eRepublik living continues, with constant excitement and intrigue!
The intrepid renegades of the ARP have resisted the oppressive belligerence of the RevComm, the now-deceased SFP's ruling body, struggling about on the last frontier of eRep against cruel men looking to maintain the status quo by any means necessary.
The RevComm flagship manuevers to destroy original ideas
How did we get here?
For this tale, we rewind to late July of this year, not so long ago. The SFP is the 2nd-ranked party and has most of its players off the blacklist. Although its members have been allowed to Congress, they have not been forgiven and they are largely not trusted by the eUS community. Nevertheless, they maintain their top 5 status through numerical strength, an army of multiple accounts which obviously no one admits to operating. The chief suspect has always been Wooky Jack, a person who admitted to using multi's to bypass IES blacklisting some time ago. Alternative suspects include Jimmy Cincinnati who was a prolific multi operator as Ghost of Tom Joad.
Cerb comes aboard the RevComm and immediately finds lots of angry shouting about eUSAforums and Pfeiffer
Former president and restless player Cerb enters on-scene, looking for a change, looking to pass on his game experience to those willing to benefit from it. The SFP expresses interest in becoming more of a presence in Congress and even having its own POTUS, but Cerb knows they are not yet trusted by the community, and for good reason.
Melissa Rose makes a face
Do you remember the SFP primary for September CP? The final score was Jimmy 7, Pfeiffer 5, Orik 5. Jimmy had withdrawn, and rather than allow the Jimmy supporters to cast a vote for remaining candidates, Wooky Jack pressed the endorsement button for Orik. At the time, there was little fuss - Jimmy had personally endorsed Orik, and so it seemed like bad Wooky logic rather than outright corruption.
HOWEVER, sources inside President Orik's own administration recently confirmed that Orik conspired with the RevComm to manipulate the SFP endorsement. It was never even disclosed inside the RevComm that Orik had secretly brokered a deal for the SFP endorsement in exchange for Cabinet spots for Jimmy Cincinnati and Tom Cauchon. Orik did receive the SFP endorsement, but Orik's Cabinet rejected the corrupt bargain.
The RevComm isn't as clever as they think..
What do you think?
Does the RevComm really have eAmerica's best interest in mind?
Multi's?
Corruption?
This is not the SFP Civil, Mark, and Osmany pioneered. It's not even the poor reincarnation Jude pioneered.
RIP SFP, the RevComm destroyed you.
Our present ship captain, Cerb, knows political simulation players must be open to new ideas from the eUSAforums and the rest of the community. He continues fighting for citizen engagement, experimental politics, and WAR and CHANGE. Membership has seen an uptick of a couple points, and can continue to rise, with your help.
This little ship is no one's puppet. We'll explore new ideas and new directions in the great space of eRep. The RevComm won't stop us.
Cap'n Cerb

Voted for Firefly!
What's your source for the CP endorsement information?
At face value, that's quite a scandal. Excuse me if I don't blindly trust assertions on the internet (whoever makes them).
I wanna know too. Whoever it is, needs to be in charge of my media. They're good at fabricating stories.
Funny that you say that.
Jimmy approached me before the election and told me you had given him a position. He said you instructed him to work with me...in media.
It's not inherently bad to offer supporters positions. I didn't find this the least bit suspicious. That's how some people play politics. No bigs.
I don't know the nature of your arrangement with Jimmy. Also don't care.
So I take it Jimmy C got the same cold shoulder I got when I asked you to be multi-partisan and help advertise eRepublik to those outside the game in the hopes of attracting new players.
Frank do you mean the graphics I have been working on for you?
Yes, the one I asked for 8 days ago. While I am not an expert with PhotoShop, I do use Gimp and in those same 8 days, I have created several for some other drivers to their specifications.
All that was asked for was to paint the truck black, add an eRepublik logo to the tailgate and rear quarter panels and add your name to the front lip of the hood.
While I know you're busy it would take maybe 10 or 15 minutes to throw that together. Seems to me that attracting NEW players to our shrinking player base would have been Priority #1.
I even suggested that if it worked and attracted players we could do a Livery for each Top 5 party. Seems to me that attracting NEW players is a very low priority for some.
Desperation.
Propaganda! I can not even read this garbage.
This charlatan has taken our party, trod on our democratic values and processes, and rams through ill-conceived initiative after ill-conceived initiative on a daily basis. Unreliable surveys and delusions of the existence of this "ARP" propel him forward, ignorant to the fact that not a soul within the SFP supports him.
We have tried speaking, we have tried bargaining, and now we must try resistance.
It seems there is no big mass support for Cerb, he himself said "This little ship is no one's puppet."
Maybe best for Cerb would be to use that rescue boat. 😉
Cerb, you had a lot of support within the SFP two weeks ago, but I don't think many support you now. We might like new ideas, at least some of us, but we don't like someone who pushes them trough and doesn't even try to go for consensus first.

'Nevertheless, they maintain their top 5 status through numerical strength, an army of multiple accounts which obviously no one admits to operating.'
The sad thing is that while he openly accuses Wooky Jack he has left out the fact that Pfeiffer Period has openly admitted on the eUSA Forums that he runs multis. He is, of course, correct in that nobody is going to admit running them.
Even funnier is the fact that when it was pointed out that he was SFP's chief suspect and believed to be the one running them he wrapped himself in self-righteous indignation and claimed to be on most citizens top 10 list of citizen with integrity and that he would never do such a thing. However, Cerb, after demanding the elected PP resign due to a tainted vote, promptly took advantage of that same tainted vote to become Party Dictator.
That my friends is not integrity. A man of integrity would have also resigned in protest of the tainted vote.
'Membership has seen an uptick of a couple points, and can continue to rise, with your help.'
Actually, we are down from 112 to 111, which is where we were when he cheated to become Party Dictator. Sorry, but once again Cerb's BS is showing....
Using multi votes to make it so Cerb would lose an election he was winning without multis might be one of the dumbest things you've ever said. And that's almost impressive because you say a lot of very dumb things.
Where did I admit that the SFP used multis? In fact, I have claimed the exact opposite. Don't put words in my mouth. Also, who says he was winning without multis?
This is laughable since it is coming from someone so willing to used but then again you are proud and horny or no?
Cerb had a significant lead 20 minutes before reset.
And your theory is that I deployed multis AGAINST Cerb? Because I wanted him to win?
Frank...get back on the meds.
Yes, I do.
Someone -maybe not you- but someone knew that a bunch of last minute votes would taint the election. Then Cerb and some citizens from outside the SFP began 'suggesting' that if Tom had any integrity he would resign. Not only resign but to do so before the recount was complete thereby making Cerb Dictator.
Considering Cerb questioned Tom's integrity wouldn't it the same apply to Cerb. Instead of taking advantage of a tainted vote he would have resigned to keep his integrity intact. What he did was take advantage of the tainted vote that was used to question Tom's integrity to become Dictator of a party who doesn't want him.
It's a party that voted for him. He would've been properly elected had someone refrained from using multis.
The mental gymnastics you and yours are performing to try and make these facts something other than what they are is exactly why your party is a total joke and you will continue to fail.
I'm starting to think you're an Ajay multi.
Hate to break it to you but the ones who supported him by voting for him have all abandoned him. Besides whose to say all his voted weren't multis in the first place.
The facts are someone voted with multis -that someone could be you or Cerb or anyone else- and the point is he took advantage of a tainted vote to questioning his opponent's integrity over that tainted vote but he sure didn't mind taking advantage of that same tainted vote
Again, if Cerb had any integrity he would have resigned also.
I am confused, if Cerb is a chief whats the problem, I thought you were into that tribal cancer curing drugfest thingy???
Cerb is a Dictator who PTOed one of the oldest parties in eRepublik.
He is not a Chief, in fact, he is little more than a sock puppet for his master.
why call him a chief if is is not one???
if spf was spawned from the feds, why wouldn't they have tribal rights to chieftainship?

More hate speeches, aimed at you colleagues?
Enjoy having the party under your thumb, for a little while longer.

I'm pretty sure that the author and everyone commenting on this article is one of Pfeiffer's multis and that he and I are the last two people playing eRep.
