The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

does anybody play eRepublik?

It's not a game in the traditional sense I suppose, it's an online thing you play right in your browser. Instead of the typical hack n' slash stuff though, it's more of an intellectual's game (not that I'm an intellectual by any standard- my buddy just invited me to it :p) focusing heavily on politics. The real world map is recreated (North America, Asia, Europe, Australia, and parts of Africa and South America are included). The game is basically all about strategizing and making alliances with other people (countries,governments, etc.) so as to CONQUER THE WORLD! There are elections every month for Congress and President positions in each country- so it gets to be pretty darn serious after a time. (you have to be well known and respected to get in though :p)

If you take an interest in the military- there are also military divisions you can join within a country with the ultimate goal of helping your allies and CONQUERING THE WORLD!

If you play already- whose alliance do you play for? :p I'm curious to know.

And if you don't play but are interested- I can hook you up with some peeps (sorry I can't help you myself- I'm not exactly as "connected" as some people) who  can get you started on the right foot (though of course you will be working for a specific alliance (EDEN or Sol)-because that's about as far as contacts extend. Otherwise we'd all be traitors :p

I play it, but I'm new. How do you get into an alliance?

Alliances are between countries. If you want to be the one who dictates who exactly you (your country) is aligned with- you've got to make friends with the hotshots. Formal alliances are proposed by a country's President and voted into force by that country's Congress. What ecountry are you in? Have you been to their forums and IRC channels all that fancy jazz?
...


and cybernations! That's cool! Do you like it? Is it good? Are your admins decent? :p

I belong to the USA. So far, the people I met seem pretty decent and friendly. I'm still new, so I haven't between to their chat rooms or anything like that.
