Dear Britain,
It has been a busy first couple of days for my office, hard at work over Google Docs making spreadsheets and forms for the party. With these tools we hope to advance our cause and identify the needs/wants of our membership. We’ve already completed our Congressional form that will go out in several days to help us put top quality active in office to represent New Era. Also we have completed our Membership Involvement survey to open up party leadership ranks to new people. The results of the survey and new leadership will be discussed later in this article
With that said, I personally believe that we are headed in the right direction in terms of activity and leadership changes. Several members never before involved in New Era’s day-to-day activities will soon be assisting with the task of running the party. Our next step, as we gear up for the upcoming Congressional election we hope to advocate for more maturity and professionalism within our own ranks and other parties as well, including TACO affiliates. With that said, I’d like to give you the official leadership stance on what I am dubbing this latest controversy, the fire and the fire brigade.
Due to AlexLloyd’s controversial ascension to power in the Freemasons, what was but a sparke has now ignited into a full blown fire spreading across the British political landscape.
AlexLloyd illegitimately took power of the party through a hostile political take-over, aimed simply at damaging the party and her members. As a reaction from this, certain elements of the Radical Democratic Party, the Freemasons and New Era have taken aggressive action towards the Royal Army Dental Corps and parties such as the UKPP due to suspicion of their involvement in the take-over, whilst elements of the TUP, the UKRP, PCP and the UKPP have taken up arms against the political leadership in New Era and the RDP, creating chaos in the British community.
This can be seen happening everywhere: on the IRC, on the forums, on articles, in the congress, in shouts and so on.
Whilst the Freemasons seek revenge for losing their party, the opposition wants to discredit them, the RDP, and New Era due to the actions of a minority.
I strongly believe that if we allow this fire to keep burning, it will spread like wildfire across all parties and lay waste to much more than those who fuel it fathom.
That’s the danger of starting a fire, you never know how many bridges you’ll burn.
While others are fuelling the ongoing fire, we wish to act as your hypothetical fire brigade, to help extinguish the flames that the PTO has unleashed on the political landscape.
I want it to be made perfectly clear that New Era condemns the PTO of the Freemasons by AlexLloyd and his followers. It was an act of disgrace and injustice, and it cannot be justified by any means.
On the other hand, however, the hostile actions being taken or being planned in the form of further political tampering are a hindrance on progress and this is coming from all of the major political parties.
There is little to nothing we can do to resolve the issue regarding the political take-over until the next party presidential elections, however, we can do something about the acts of hostility seen ongoing in the British political landscape.
New Era will never work with Alex or his supporters, we will never support them. But nor can we tolerate ruthless and rushed hostile action by any member of any political party in the country.
I want to make it perfectly clear for everyone in this country that we condemn both the PTO and those fanning the flames regarding it.
To prevent future catastrophes such as this, I will be engaging in conversation with party presidents across the country in regards to combating further political take-overs of British parties in the future, in order to support the integrity of all British parties. No matter the disputes political parties may have, actions such as political take-overs can simply not be justified.
As a result of this, I would like to announce that I will do my best trying to provide mobile voters from New Era to liberate the Freemasons in the next month’s elections, and as such it is also my obligation to raise mobile voters to combat any other potential PTO’s among British parties, regardless of whom the party may support, or who the hostile groups attempting the coup may be.
Just as a fire is extinguished with water, the easiest way to combat political chaos is through diplomacy, honesty, and keeping a level head.
After receiving responses to our party involvement form, I have set up a new council in New Era that will be looking to guide our party this month. Their qualities were objectively assessed based on their responses to our survey, and I believe they can prove quite useful to New Era in the future.
Our new leadership structure is as follows:
Party President: ChewChewShoe
Vice President: Wes Lewis
Secretary General: Wigibob
Councillor: Michele Battaglia
Spokesman: NuclearNinja
Wes Lewis has previously served as president in Canada, and he has held various other governmental positions.He came back to eRepublik rather recently after taking a lengthy break for well over a year and he will be looking to assist us when it comes to party organization, communication, publication, education and community work.
Wigibob is a former New Era PP, he also took second place in this last election losing to me, he is an active member of New Era and will be very helpful to the party. I am glad to have his opinion within the council and hope he can help influence positive change for the party.
Michele Battagila is new to the New Era leadership, one of the applicants through the involvement form I feel Michele has the ambition and drive to help grow the party and become a leading member of the party in the process.
NuclearNinja also comes from the same background as Michele, having filled out the involvement form I feel ninja will make a great spokesperson and hope to see pure quality publications from him.
We would very much like to welcome our members and other interesting people onto our IRC channel, which you can find on rizon. Our channel name is #NewEra. We will be looking to hold several community activities such as quiz evenings, various games and competitions with prizes and just relaxed and enjoyable banter on here in the future. If you’re not familiar on how to use IRC, you can find a guide by clicking here..
We would also enjoy having a larger presence on the British national forums, which you can find by clicking here.
Once you’ve joined we really would encourage you to request access to the New Era party forums.

So just an announcement that you will have New Era support a PTO of the party formerly known as Freemasons then.
Cool high ground there, tyrant.

All one has to do is look at the aims and behaviours of New Era. Firstly its a clubhouse for players who have failed dramatically at playing the game legitimately. They then try to build a platform to try and get revenge against players who outshone them in every single way. This inevitably ends in failure because the players in this clubhouse are failures, and its very comical for everyone else to watch this.
Now methods they use don't vary, you are trying to pretend you don't use the same, but you do here. Like all fascist factions they find an enemy (real or imagined) and make a big noise about them. Then they label everyone who opposes them as in league with said enemy.
In this case, New Era always try to fall back on TUP being the enemy, since they are made up of players who outachieved the failures that populate the party. What you've done here is try to twist an election result that you do not like into being TUP's fault, even though you know that they had no involvement.
I understand that you pride and ignorance will mean you fail to comprehend this lecture, but I have given it anyway because I am generous to those less fortunate than myself.
Sorry, I decided to remove my previous comment in order to alter it a little.
Alex exploited groups of people in order to gain control over a party in order to ruin the party and its members, and New Era is looking to reverse back to the status quo.
Take a look at the political landscape and the circumstances under which all of this occurred. If you still feel the same you're either a liar hiding behind a façade in order to sway people towards your line of thinking or you need to go to bed, get some rest and come back in the morning.
Furthermore, your comment is highly unrelated towards the article, and if you actually read its contents I think you would find that I dismissed your claims with ease before you even made them.
Oh and a hint: The only time I mentioned TUP was when I was condemning the actions of members from TACO parties acting hostile towards them regarding this issue.
PS. In regards to you calling me specifically a failed player, if you compare our histories I think you will find that my experience in the game exceeds your by quite a bit.
Have a good evening. 🙂
I don't measure failure relative to myself, but to what the individual makes obvious is their intent to achieve. Yourself? You joined Ireland and got them wiped when you tried to attack UK, you joined Sweden and got them wiped when you tried to make them functional, you join UK and New Era, the result no doubt will be the same.
You are a pariah.
Yes, on eRepublik ones merits from eRepublik reply within the context of eRepublik, that's correct my boy.
I joined Ireland, as MoD I launched a successful invasion of Polish America and defeated a coalition of Sweden and the United Kingdom, As Vice President I wiped the United Kingdom and kept them wiped for three months after which I forced them to cede two provinces to Ireland. I helped build up a reputation so great for Ireland, that the UK's own allies asked me kindly to allow them to release themselves from the duty of trying to keep the United Kingdom alive and instead requested alliances with Ireland.
That's a scratch in the surface. 🙂
Oh and brotip: I was in Sweden for like 2 weeks on a trip because their government asked me to keep an eye on a potential group of PTOers there. They weren't involved in any wars at the time, so they obviously didn't lose any territory.
I think you need to practice your history of the eWorld a little my friend!
So what you are saying is that your memory of the past is pure fantasy and you accept no responsibility for your actions. You echo the rest of the failures who live in New Era. Equally delusional and equally useless to a functioning eNation.
Yeah.. No.. No that wasn't what I said.
Try again kid. 🙂
You're doing a decent job Chewie, keep it up
Yeah great job. Invalidation is very nasty individual, please ignore his flaming and trolling.
New Era burnt all their bridges already, so don't come bawwing to us about burning 'dem bridges!
also please remove insinuation that TUP has any involvement, because we do not.
I never said TUP did. You however, judging by your comment, seem to do through encouraging continued hostility. 🙂
Interesting comment that, by the way.
New Era burnt their bridges because people from the Freemasons are moving over to other parties due to a hostile take over of their party..?
Either I have been living under and people just stopped caring for deductive reasoning or your comment makes no sense to most people.
Also remove Royal Army Dental Corps, cuz we do not..
Ask Ayame and Huey about why the bridges were burnt. New Era's only political allies in the last 2 months have been Freemasons and RDP. And that has been due to the leaders there.
PCP, WRP and UKPP - all once allies - are no longer friendly for reasons stemming directly from the actions of your inner circle. Likewise One Vision cut themselves loose after attacks from New Era on their decisions.
So you are saying current leadership should be judged based on their predecessors' merits?
So therefore, by extended logic, Carlini is responsible for the UK being wiped in the past?
I think you need to stop with this façade you're holding up in order to try to gain political support and instead start focusing on what really matters.
You are supporting RDP and the former Freemasons, despite being created solely to disenfranchise British voters...you have the power to disown yourself from their actions...why haven't you done so?
"So you are saying current leadership should be judged based on their predecessors' merits?"
Don't think he said anything about the leadership and I don't think it was action by the leadership that alienated to many potential allies, just the action and attitudes of the general party and many of its members.
You can change the leadership monthly but that doesn't create a new party or a clean slate. It's perfectly reasonable to judge a group of people by the way they have behaved in the past until evidence shows they've changed. Sure the membership may have changed a little but all the people that caused such judgements are still there...
Bit of a U-Turn in New Era policy, only a matter of weeks ago there was talk of PTOing the nation in Leadership PM's. Such a U-Turn can only point to a PTO of New Era...
Sly chewie is sly!
Change, Wayne, is sometimes necessary. Not only when it comes to party politics, but also government and personal behaviour.
Have a good evening. 🙂
PS. I think you may have interpreted the discussions in our council from weeks ago quite a bit. The discussion was never regarding a political take-over of the UK, but on how to gain support in the UK for the presidential elections, where a few members wanted to play dirty and were met with resistance from most of us.
I understand change, I was central in turning UKPP from a party separated from the community and hated, to it becoming a eUK heavyweight with a hattrick of CP terms.
You also forget where and who I was 'in' with back when New Era was formed. Understandable with you being eIrish at the time. You can't pull the wool over my eyes as easily as others, as I know the true intentions behind New Era. From Day 1 it was a PTO group with one motivation.
I think I will let Winston Churchill reply to that..
"Every morn brought forth a noble chance, and every chance brought forth a noble knight." -Winston Churchill
"i have a good plan, we need to take freemason into top 5 and take over another mid table party" - Commander Diapper
"My plan was to get ROund table in top 5." - BigAnt
"PS lets PTO UK 😉" - BigAnt
"@BigAnt
I'm not bothered if you do or if you don't
p.s. can you vote in 2 PP elections in 1 day?" - wigibob
"lol it is time to have some real fun in this game , this month will be good the next month better hold on to your seats, it marshall law time !! - Sir Winston S Churchill
yeah, maybe you're right, it was probably just a few bad eggs.
Just a few bad eggs = the entire leadership team in New Era.
Dapper says that we should promote parties who are willing to be aligned towards us so that they might get into the top five.
BigAnt agrees, and then makes an obvious joke.
Wigibob then says that he disagrees but won't bother trying to discourage people from doing so since it hasn't yielded much success in the past.
Winston makes a joking comment in regards to it.
Out of all of these people, Wigibob is the only one actually working in a high position in New Era.
It seems I have invalidated your argument.
o/
it would be easy to dismiss as a joke if it wasn't for the fact that your members have actively engaged in PTOs and election-rigging, and that Goku Jones has past form with rigging the top five parties in a country. Also, wigibob not being bothered one way or the other by the PTO does NOT act in his favour, as you seem to suggest...a more normal reaction would be to hugely opposed to such an outrageous notion.
Miau
That's how a cat sounds in Northern Ireland
Thoroughly enjoyable read, fiction has and always will be my favourite media o7
And cheers for the shout 😛
FREE WINNIE MANDELA, KILL NELSON
this proves New Era ran Freemasons therefore Alex is in fact part of an ATO freeing the party from the NE tyrant
Would you care to elaborate a little bit? I fail to see your logic here.
Its quite logical... the freemasons weren't happy with the status quo of inactivity and little opportunity for members outside the inner circle so they voted for me... no one supported me except the freemason members that i messaged... after freeing the party i was declared an impostor, with my members bribed to leave with tanks congress became unattainable so i decided to liven things up a bit 😛
Who the f*ck let Wes "greaseball" Lewis in?
Who are you? (Besides someone with too much time to waste on being Lvl 107)
To be fair Wes, you are a tad greasy.
I am aware, still more useful then this douche
Wes is cool brah
My bad.
New Era has an overwhelming history of plotting PTOs. It is well known now that the Party Formerly Known as the Freemasons (New Era Clone 1) and the Radical Democratic Party (sic) (New Era Clone 2) were only created with the goal of PTOing the eUK and destroying the democratic system in the game, so why should you act as though these parties deserve a level-pegging with legitimate political parties (most of which have endured attempted PTOs by New Era members?
Even today you have the Former Leader of the Party Formerly Known as the Freemasons, Sir Winston S Churchill, the Citizen Formerly known as King Hannibal of ASIA plotting to instigate martial law over the WHOLE country, and the Governor of the current national cabinet supporting this (along with the PTO of UKPP). I suppose that considering the RDP are a clone party whatever you dictate will become their policy.
When you have New Era members derping away in private as well as publicly at the thought of PTOing the eUK as well as other countries, planning takeovers of legitimate political parties, rigging elections through vote-buying, granting citizenship to our (i.e. the UK's) enemies etc., it is just a little hard to believe that this article is sincere and that New Era are anywhere close to having the best interests of the UK at heart.
There has not been a single PTO by a New Era member, ever. What the hell are you talking about?
I can think of a certain Ant that left New Era to PTO a party, but he failed and created RDP instead.
Left. What did he try to PTO (I wasn't around for this)?
Would help if people posted exactly what they are talking about with evidence instead of broad wild claims.
Round Table when they had about 30 members, it was just before he created RDP. I'm sure quit a few people will remember it if you mention it to them.
Well BigAnt was in UKPP with Round Table members longer than he was in New Era.
