[FIST] Meta-Game [FIST]
Good morning/afternoon/evening to everyone in the eWorld. How are you doing this week? What's on your mind right now? I've got a little something I'd like to ponder with you. Call it a crisis of identity or consciousness question, if you will. How does the eUSA proceed with its Meta-Game?
If you do not have access to Private Congress, we are currently discussing as a nation what can be done to combat the numerous bots or multis that sprout up in the game. Plato has implemented measures to combat these, however the actual effect has been to hurt some ecountries, Iran for example. Plato seems to be blocking certain VPNs and other IP addresses in an effort to combat bots and multis. So far, though, it seems to only be hurting the community. Have you seen any significant reduction in bot/script/multi activity since these measures have been put into place? Some have said a few airbots got hit.
I'm not going to blow smoke and say that I monitor the situation closely, because I play one account, the same account for ten plus years; and I do not have the time to dedicate to managing bots or multis. I enjoy playing this game so that I can hang with several friends, perhaps make new ones, and toy with enemies. The eUS is undergoing changes as we shift our foreign policy to ensure our long-term stability. If you disagree with this shift, can you clearly and concisely explain why? Can you handle a mature and rational discussion on this matter? We will be opening a discussion in Private Congress towards the end of the month, so if you would like to be involved I suggest you petition your party to allow you into Congress. Make a case for yourself, though. What is your contribution to the meta-game or the eUSA? What values, assets, and consideration for others do you bring to the table?
While we ponder the future of the game and the eUSA, we can also take a moment to critically look at how we got to where we are today. I am thankful that you have choosen me to be your Country President this month, and I promise to remain active, engage the community, and inform the citizenry as much as possible, without incurring harm to ourselves or our nation. If your recollection of the past two years is fuzzy, I encourage you to seek out the truth. What were the major factions that contributed to our shift in foreign policy? I can only speak for myself in this respect.
When I lost to WhydoIbotherToo, the start of an invasion by Croatia, Egypt and Ireland had begun that led to a long run of trains across our Country by a bunch of countries. Over that course, we acknowledged our situation and chose to acquiesce to the wishes of CODE. In my opinion, this was CODE's last chance to turn the eUSA back towards their favor once and for all. But, as the situation unfolded, we realized that we would never be treated with respect nor as an equal in the CODE alliance. They did their best to keep us in the fold and under thumb, however you would like to term this period in our history.
As we began to realize this truth, our leadership took steps to disassociate ourselves from the CODE alliance and made this known formally in our departure. CODE not only took offense to this course, but upped its rhetoric by bad-mouthing us in the media and attempting to destroy our resolve. They parked an offensive and demeaning article in our top five for at least forty-five days. And all of this began with a failed airstrike attempt into Thailand. While I put some of the blame on that administration, the inordinate response by CODE should have proven to everyone that they were grasping at straws. They could not foresee a future in erepublik without the eUSA as an ally.
Therefore, I am asking all eUS citizens to critically consider that CODE was simply attempting to undermine our foreign policy shift, and will continue to do so until we have proven ourselves to our new allies. I ask everyone to consider all attempts by CODE and their agents to hamper our efforts an afront to our national pride, sensibility, and resolve.
As I told my cabinet recently:
"Knew they’d come back for me, took them five years but I knew they’d come...
So now it's back to all the brightness... and everything I hate."
I do not hate erepublik, nor am I afraid of commitment. What scares you about our new future? The only thing we should 'hate' is those who attempt to sabatoge our journey. We will complete this journey, and we need informed, critically thinking citizenry in order to accomplish this goal.
What is your goal? How do you contribute to the meta-game? If you are just sitting around, I hope you are least hanging out with friends. However, if you think you can help the eUSA complete this journey and achieve its long-term goal, reach out to me and we'll assess your abilities.
My name is CTHULHU and I AM your Country President.

RIDDICK!!!!!!!!
the meta game is the bigger problem not GnilKrapis' bot/multi/script scheme (he buys lots and sells at a lost to be a hero ...). Zero chance the player who uses there visa (cheats) the most gets what they really deserves from the meta-game.
Are you saying the citizens who use their plastic the most don't profit from using the plastic?
absolutely not, I am saying your BFF GnilKrapis is crying out for help but no one around him has the ability nor desire to hear said cry for help
Making shifts every time we're on the weaker side is a right reason for them to come at us, but that's just my opinion.
I've been reading lots of articles about why we did the shift and the only logical conclusion I could make is that we can't stand being on the weaker side. However, if we do the shift each time we're on the weaker side we'll never be welcomed to any side. Unless we make our own and make sure we don't fool that 3rd side again. Since you're among those that doesn't see nothing wrong about it I feel like you shouldn't be in charge of US doing that.
Then again, majority of the US does, so I'll go by it...with positive criticism.
We gave it a shot with CTRL.
Ah well I have no idea what is that, how did it go?
Terribly.
I don't believe the majority of the US does. Neither do they, or they wouldn't spend so much effort on deceiving the population they are supposed to be serving.
Nah, basically one should just be cozy with US leaders. Sweet talk them, assure that eUS is important, it does matter, make sure they don't get offended by some minor things. Basically one could even pretend to treat eUSA with respect and it would still work.

It's not that you "shift foreign policy"
It's that you lie to do it. You lie about everything. And you do it poorly. There's a number of you who seem to believe you're smarter than the rest of the people playing this game and honestly it's embarrassing.
*waves at Rainy*
CODE attacked us because we attacked them first, by attacking Croatia. It was the first go-around of the "please Asteria, look what good b#$%tches we are -- we'll do anything for you -- ANYTHING!" Asteria rewarded us for our b%$#tchhood by invading and occupying us, which CODE ended. Either you don't know this, in which case you're an ignoramus who has no business writing dumbass propaganda pieces, or you're a terrible liar, in which case you're a Dunning-Kruger afflicted halfwit, who has who has no business writing dumbass propaganda pieces. If you really don't know what happened, talk to your buddy "krapis," or wild owl, who still hangs around on discord, who were two of the masterminds behind that fiasco.
It's good to recollect history, George. Thank you.
Thank me by correcting your trash article.
You are doing your part, george. Keep it up.
*bazinga*
revisionist history at its finest right here. CODE did not exist during that first go round. Croatia sent an AS at us in retaliation of Pfeiffer's failed AS on them in Thailand. CODE was founded April 2019. The Croatia led invasion Cthulhu was talking about occurred at the very end of February/beginning of March 2018.
1) CODE existed, de facto, before its formal incarnation. 2) Pretending it was all Pfeiffer's doing when "krapis" and wild owl are still around is par for the course for you people. But you do get credit for actually admitting who attacked whom first.
Considering that invasion happened a few days before I was elected CP, I would trust my recollection of the full events before I believed yours.
First, I see no difference in our "recollections." But second, you are a willing member of a group of people who are, and are well known as, liars, so whatever you claim to recollect has to be viewed through that filter.
You may choose to call me a liar all you want George. It doesn't bother me one bit. You go right ahead and keep beating your little drum. This game and those you fondly remember from our association with EDEN are much different now.
You have abandoned the thread, to the extent you ever had it.
... And the head falls down in the box.
That was five seconds.
Hey, you're doing a good job imo
Can you give examples please..
I don't think this is a strong enough claim to require citations, just a sense from what I have seen so far.
Well.. you claim he is doing a good job.. you certainly have few examples in mind of what job he acomplished.. otherwise, you wouldn't be so affirmative..
k.
tl;dr
afraids me
Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master!
Master!
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master!
Master!

Poignant?
Gen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord yeah
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role for the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds,
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah
Now in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling,
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah
From what I have witnessed is eUSA's top level government "buying" these bots from Colin. The eUSA has been Morally Complicit with the cheating historically. Several other countries are "havens" for these bots. So as the organisms grow they tend to effect other small country voting biases.
Your country is cheating.
