Predictions? Nah, my take on current media
Malpazar
Over the past 2-3 days there has been an incredibly large media blitz going on mostly by the members of the Socialist Freedom Party. For the most part I did read their articles as it is my duty as a member of the eUSA to stay informed from all sides. I read the comments, while many were your typical "o7" I noticed one that bothered me.
When I saw this I knew my role in this situation changed drastically. The articles and comments that poked minor jabs here and there for the most part were entertaining, but when someone makes such as strong allegation against my party? Then there is a problem.
That single comment alone, spurred this article that I am making out of passion. You managed to do the one thing that no one in eRepublic has done.
You offended this Pandaren
This image is only slightly a joke
What you may see as killing the game I see as giving all those who ask a chance.
My personal story starts in around October, I had just came back from the game after a long Hiatus and I was looking to do more than fight. I decided that I would finally drop my long standing "no political affliation" and go join a humble but long standing party, the USWP. Now you can say all you can about the USWP but DO NOT say they are the cause of eRep going down.
When I joined the USWP I asked, what can I do for my party and what would they have me do?
Kortanul the Party President of the time knew I was looking for work and offered me a shot in Media. I was astonished that such an offer would be made to a fairly knew party member. I accepted, and write I did.
They set me as the spokesman of the party! I was shocked.
Ever since then I have been amazed with the effective help that the USWP gives to new players and old returning ones always more than willing to let anyone new run for congress, or pursue their aspirations here in game. You can call USWP whatever you want, but in the end to say that they are the cause of eRepublik's problems? Maybe it's poisonous attitudes that are ruining the game.
Sincerely,
Would you like to join the USWP? CLICK HERE!

It was a far more simple time.
that was like 30 mins ago xD
As the President of USWP, I have no flacking idea what Recks could be talking about. I know that we have conducted all of our affairs above board.
The reason I think USWP is bringing down Erep (not single handedly though) is:
1, Your party is filled with multies/bots which makes every election not really worth while for the players and parties that don't participate in the using of bots.
2, There are certain players in the party that are jerks. They don't care about players other than themselves and their elitist friends. I'm not saying everyone is like that in USWP but there is a few
3, The media is supposed to be... Well, quality or near quality. But when guys like Tens start throwing around accusations when they do not have any proof that the victim is actually doing such things, it removes the fun from any real media and turns it into something silly and childish.
4, if you run the same person over and over no matter how well they are doing kills the fun from having different CP's and removes any real thought of anyone else trying to run.
Reply:
1 - I don't think we have any multis in our party. I really don't.
2 - True.
3 - This seems true across the board regardless of Party. Same with #2.
4 - We do have a good CP atm. I am of the opinion that 1 month is too short to begin with for a decent term. But for the record, USWP does not hold the record for most successive terms, nor are we alone in consecutive term CP's.
USWP is not the party it used to be. I'd invite you to take a fresh look.
Reply to your reply:
1 - I would like to think that too but it just seems slightly strange that you have like 300 members and a lot of them are not active. And Plato murders the inactive after one month.
4 - I do think there is some bonuses to having WO as CP aas I think he is a quality CP and pride is something that I know can motivate people to do something, so I don't blame you for wanting to hold those records
That's politics, baby!
You can take your sentence and standardise it as 'The reason Erep is going down is because parties like X.' and it will always be a true assert.
Thats right Yamisuke, and you can also tell that person they are completely unfounded and wrong.
Then tell me how SFP is bringing the game down.
who said that Recks?
Yami said "You can take your sentence and standardise it as 'The reason Erep is going down is because parties like X.' and it will always be a true assert. "
Now lets take the sentence: 'The reason Erep is going down is because parties like X.' And remove the 'x' and make it SFP. So in other words 'Standerdise' aka Standardize it to SFP
