Join the new world

Look, I put some pictures in!

Let’s get straight down to business…


#20 – Shadowukcs
If this were Pokémon, Shadow would be magikarp. A player left over from the veneer of oldfaggotry, this bourgeoisie Belgian has been pro-English countries since forever. A complete butt to parley with in the hallowed halls of Bob Boblo’s House, yet rose to Popehood, and glory following the greatest and most calamitous mystery box games ever played – not even the lucky eight ball fancied Shads chances.

The ‘ukcs ran M.I.6 in a time where spying was possible, and the world a heck of a lot bigger. Known for his few-and-far between articles on the game, his journalism is faultless and usually has a very positive reaction. Still, he’s a butt.



#19 - Kevy Shabado
Possibly the unluckiest player other than GLaDOS in the history of eRepublik. Since the yank is a yank, that make Keby the least lucky eUKer with various setbacks marring his talent. His population statistics are famed around the eWorld and this is reflected in his 1000+ subscribers (HELP ME OUT AND SUB TO MINE! 😛). With that strong base of public knowledge, and his amiable panda attitude Kevy has served in the eUK government, which is where the misfortune begins.

Kevy ran against UKRP candidate Jhorlin (who has now done a Jhorlin xD) and lost. After a month off, in a blaze of déjà vu, Kevy ran against UKRP candidate Jhorlin (who has now done a Jhorlin xD) and lost. A lesser guy might have quit, but Kevy soldiered on and after quite some time become an able MoHA who pioneered the UK forums award system. This success and wide cross-party support lead him to run for the Presidency against Betafoxtrot, whom he defeated comfortably.

In a month when the eUK was fighting both Canada and Ireland (with Heavy US backing), Kevy was beset by internet connection problems, after a highly successful start to the term. With the quitting of Top-Hat Harry, and Daeres having to cover CPship, the government was quite thinly spread, but actives within the community rallied round, and the Tigerboy did a good job.
Despite his impeachment, there is considerable support for Kevy to run again for CP, as this time over 90% of people polled in #eUK think he deserves a second chance. Good luck Kebs.



#18 - Thomas765

The man of the hour! As I write this in December 2k11, Thomas is the cheesecake flavour of the month, and our current CP. He’s had experience in the role from his time in Austria, and has led both sides of the political spectrum in the country, and is pretty much universally liked.
Oft Mistaken for an American (not least by our monarch, King Woldy), Thomas is actually a battered mars bar man, and lives north of the border. (Not Watford). A lovely chap to deal with, who has most of his future ahead. #wordplay.

#17 – Kravenn

A long time inhabitant of these fair isles Kravenn is a RL Your-a-pee-on, but speaks our lingo sufficiently well to rise to MoD and serve in congress many many times! One of the highest skilled players xp wise, you can be sure his avatar will pierce you with its steely gaze!



#16 – Smack

A higher controversial player Smack started out as “Steven Mack”, and achieved success in the UKRP with congress elections and fun! after turning “traitor” around the time of the Johnobrow incident (lest we forget it!), he moved to Serbia, join the Lav Lavs (Highly trained Muppet MU type affair at the time), and killed his citizen, moving to the old, ancient, high leveled, high capped, high strength and high profile Kixtart, who had left the game. He changed his name to Smack Dat, and hasn’t looked back.

Famed for his somewhat complex (and to some abrasive) personality, Smack encountered difficulty within both the RP and the wider eUK community. While the eUK was in the TERRA(bad) alliance, he led the front running cohesive effort, by leading the UK’s contingent of Ultramarines, a Yank MU that was being set up by a younger Henry Arundel, and Vanek26. Because I get on well with Smack, and like him, I left the UKSF (leaving the army for the first time in 18 months!) and joined – for the princely sum of 2 q5 tanks a day (at the time a MASSIVE amount for basic soldiering), and all the food you could eat!

When the eUK left TERRA his MU became 40 Commando, and as a nominal 2ic for a short while (before I found Octavian to be the next victim!), we played along well enough. However Smack decided that his fate lay over in Americstan, and so left (I rejoined the UKSF!). Now a high level US tank, Smack was the first of many eUKers to emigrate, which makes him a key player in our history.


The above is not Artela. :3

#15 – Artela

One such person influenced by Smack, is undoubtedly Artela. She joined in the April of 2010, and by the following Christmas was in charge of the whole military. Undoubtedly the best Commander seen in the UK since our next rankee! In the intervening period between her meteoric rise to the top, she championed the BDP’s (long time top 5 party) break away from the manically controlled SDP, and started to kick them into a semi-serious political unit. It was these grassroots political skills which would help her to set up ESO along with Jamesw after the two of them leaving their respective parties. However Artela recognized that no-one other than Jamesw could be elected by ESO at that stage of their infancy, and so changed to the the TUP and won the CP race. Shortly after her term, so moved to the eUS to face challenges anew.

# 14 - Tom Morgan


Not Tom either!

The bedrock of eUK Military Command and a mainstay of success in the war y, Tom has been around since the dawn of the Navy. A great guy, who puts the country first, we’ve GOT to get him out of semi-retirement to lead us forward once more! o7

#13 - Horice G Fossil (P Fossil)

Without Horice, our lives would be that much grimmer. I am like Horice in but a few ways. I have been known to make others chuckle or titter (about 1/100 of the mirth this man could induce), but I can reveal that I too had a prior account. Horice had an older brother (see section title!), but restarted after charges of sexual assault made by Meghan. He insists she deserved it. I, however cannot recall my ex-account, but know only that I saw PEACE AT HOME, PEACE IN THE WORLD (esp. in America) and so would hazard a guess at an account that ran from May – August. I returned to the eWorld (poor you) at a similar time to Horice, but to give you a measure of the man it has taken almost my entire eLife to be half as well known and liked as him. His best known in-joke, is the fantastic similes he leaves on comments, and forum posts.


(In honour of Horice!)

Horice is also known for his high strength and silly numbers of battle hero medals. OH YOU. In addition, he created and maintained the real spamicans, to promote the pressing need for more silliness in politics in the eUK. Our next player did just that!



#12 – JvB

hot.
Put your hands up. Put your hands for vB. I LOVE THIS KIDDIE.
Wow. What a chap. A mire of selfless trolling beauty, and quiet, chilling sophistication, Joachim van Bremen was quiet possibly the best loved eUKer ever, and our parting sorrow is still felt today.

De-facto leader of the aptly named Bremen Clubhouse, JvB dedicated his eLife in the pursuit of a concept so wondrous, so beautiful, so rapturous (literally in the case of the eUK forums) that the repercussions are still felt keenly today, with our constant invasion of Island. The man was a visionary, and knew that there was one way to prevent the eUK sliding into a mire of inactivity, and at the same time find a final solution to the Irish question. He knew that the Irish are too willful and silly for their own good, and must be governed by good old King Woldy.

After seeing the second wiping of Ireland JvB knew his work was done, and graciously bowed out.



#11 - Temujin94
He fails to make the top ten only because of his birth in 2010. That’s the only reason. He’s just too newfag 😛 😛 😛

I am (un)lucky enough to count Temujin as one of my three closest friends within the game.
His first 3 months consisted of joining the RFA which was ofc the coolest party at the time (lolno). After becoming a big time poster in his first few months in BBH and it was one of the main reasons he actually stuck around in the abuse factory : ) . He did a rather large amount of ministerial work, in 4 ministries at one point which were the MoW, MoHA, MoD and MoFA. (ALL NOW SCARRED AND BROKEN FROM HIS TIME THERE.

About 4 months in he was FORTUNATELY banned in the forums for some silly normal behaviour and moved to Canada as a British spy, spending 4-5 months in the maple syrup mines. It was noted by our chap himself as, “disappointing as it set me back 6 months in my erep 'career' and it was only thanks to Woldy and GGryan I was able to get back at all”. This was because everyone knew just how terrible he REALLY IS and has nothing to do with the fact that many people thought he was working for the Canadians and a TRAITOROUS POOP.



After seeing the tragic end of the RFA (lol spectrum), Temujin hopped over to the cool party at Unityhouse. After some high profile all night supplying sessions Temujin was the flavour of the month, the cats pyjamas and beat Appleface to a month of CPship.

To hear more about his tenure as Prime Minister (eUK CP equivalent), listen to the new eRepublik Podcast “Bob Save the King!” with myself and King Woldy. It can be found here: PODCAST!

After a second month of Presidency, Temujin left office after justifying himself well, and we look forward to another term next year!
