This article was very good and comprehensive. It covered a wide variety of topics which I like.

Because it is clever, humorous, and put a clever holiday spin on the erepublik landscape. Nothing like throwing a little bit of jest and jokes and Christmas Spirit into an often boring Media Sector.

Love this article because #1 it offers more information for noobs than ANY admin-created information on the site! #2 the parallels between running on the hamster wheel here in eRep and how it's the same damn thing in RL. Wouldn't you think eRep would be better since it's all fantasy? Well, no... life isn't fair, real or otherwise!

Thank you Shaun for making the contest more fun!

For clarification - does it end Saturday night at midnight (ie Sunday morning) or tonight at midnight (ie Saturday morning)? Sorry, military time confuses me.

Thedillpickl Day 1,144, 16:48

Saturday night at Midnight eRepublik time. See the clock at the top of the page? That's 2am Central Standard Time (my time). I won't check the comments until Sunday morning, so if someone is a little late I'll let it slide. Just don't push it!

Hint: To convert Mil time to what everybody else uses, subtract 12 hours in the afternoon.

Lots of amusing pieces, but I just love the hot country babes here. While the topical pieces certainly have their place, this one is good any time!
