The Truth about PTOs and PTOers
Rican
(a reprint of an important article)
Greetings to the brave souls who do what is so difficult to accomplish in eRepublik... Establishing and maintaining an eCountry.
These are acts of courage, dedication, leadership and patriotism. These are acts that help maintain the game in the spirit of democracy, liberty and friendship. Because it is really only friendship that makes this game worthwhile.
Most of you know the trials and tribulations of enduring wars, economic hardships, and the effort it takes to protect your eCountry.
• Our regions are constantly under siege... but it's a war game... so that's ok.
• Good citizens leave... but that's expected.
• The economy is a disaster... just as in real life.
• Political Parties rise and fall... but that's normal in-game and in real life.
• Governments fail... but that's evolution... survival of the fittest.
All of that is hard work and all of that exhibits courage.
Now... let me tell you what is easy. Destruction and chaos are easy. These are the acts of a coward.
I refer to one element of this game that is a festering wound... a malignant cancer... a putrid pustule.
The acts of cowards that know only destruction and nothing about creation. These are the sad souls that take some perverse pleasure in tearing countries apart. And these are the sad souls that know nothing about the friends and relationships that make this game worthwhile. They want our countries to bleed them dry and to rape and pillage every citizen and region.
They use multies to create fake citizens to realize their goals of hateful carnage.
They create multies in devious ways that are indiscernible by the admins. It is not admins fault... they do their best.
They troll our articles with lies and deceit wrapping themselves in our flags, holding a bible and kissing a baby.
They spew the propaganda of hate wherever they go. They are the lowest of the low... the alley trash of the eWorld.
Now the question is... what do we do about this ? Sadly, I do not know. It will take the whole eWorld community to come up with a solution to this poisonous contamination. We need to ban together to rid ourselves of these cowards.
Let's call this "Operation No Cowards".
Please add your comments and ideas below. Please get involved. Let's eradicate this terminal disease.
I'd love to hear what you think.
And please chain shout this article. It needs to go international.
Thank You

If it's true... it's worth repeating.
Sadly for some the PTO is fun... The olny way for me is if many people write to Plato to include an option about taking back a citizenship. Ofc I don't think just 1 congressman should have those rights. But it can be included like an option "voting" from the congress with a needed 66%. That way small countries can have a chance against PTO-ers who get in via paying or something like that. I honestly don't know why Plato hasn't included some sort of protection.
Fun... and angry too, impossible know what goes on in their heads.
that is not a solution it could make things worst in certain circumstances, as the PTOers will be able to expunge all the locals in small countries and once they take over it's game over, no way to get back in.
The president should be able to take away citizenships but a limited amount every month and only people holding the same CS for the last 3-6 months should be allowed to run for presidency. This would solve many PTOs as the ait time would be ay too long to be worth it. It would also give others time to prepare or counteract the threat as it will become visible much earlier.
I just don't think the best idea is such a thing to be in the hands only of one. Cause even if the CP is not a PTOer, he can still not like some peacful foreign citizens and kick them out hah
CP can be impeached, congress members cannot be removed.....better to be in the hands of someone here the mechanics of the game allow to remove him.
It should be easy for admin to know who the PTOers are and who are not.
Like me... I've been in eSwitzerland for 3 years now. I've been CP 3 times and all my friends are long time eSwiss citizens.
It's every bit the admins fault, they can catch every multy if they want, they just don't ant to spend any man-hours on the hunt and they profit indirectly from them.
As for the PTOers, ell for some it is not just a perverse pleasure but RL income, as they then sell the gold to others through the black market, spend part of the money to buy the odd gold pack so the admins don't bother them and everything is peachy, this is the unfortunate reality of this game.
i hadn't thought of that....
: (
unfortunately, you may be right.
all countries have people who sell gold for RL money....accounts and what not....it is the unfortunate reality of the game, this is hy the admins do not see a single penny from me anymore and will never see again, because they will never do their job.

greatest article I have ever read here in eRepublik... I alived pTO in my country, few years ago and have to say: NEVER MORE!
Also today eSlovakia wanted to return in TW RW 1 region because of congress elections, asked by original Czech citizens, but Czech pTOers paid some organized worldwide bravo soldiers group and whats the result?
in fact 2 countries CZ+SK: 82
versus few pTO + lower multies + bravo soldiers: 83
THIS HAVE TO BY CHANGED BY ADMINS, BECAUSE FEW GUYS WITHOUT HONOR CAN DESTROY A GAME FOR HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS ORIGINAL USERS. YOU SHOULD TRY TO DEVELOP POLITICAL MODULE IN GAME, f.e. ADDING MORE POLITICAL SYSTEM OPTIONS FOR 2+ SMALLER COUNTRIES (UNION, FEDERATION, etc.)
Thank you so much. These are great ideas but i can't do it alone. this needs international backing.
here is what you can shout:

International chain shout PLEASE !

done...also as I said to your resistance MoFA, eSlovakia will stand with small nations that are under the unfair oppression... I can understand when great country occupies smaller neighbors, but destroying country just for fun and annoying original users by offensive behavior is just EXPRESSION OF MENTAL LIMITATIONS...
This is pTO in Czech republik.

and all elections use multi acc for PP, CP and congress... and just ban multi...
we need to come up with an international plan.

Well nazis were worse and u guys still helped them, claiming to be neutral and accepting their money, thats kinda coward....
We helped both sides, so we respected the neutrality issue, not giving a favor to one in particular, either both or none.
above PTOer brings up RL ( that means irrelevant) remarks about an in-game subject.
