Young Guns, Per Capita Intelligence and multiple points of fail
Releasethe Krakken
This is part of the Putting it all in perspective range due to title restrictions I shortened the title.
Young Guns
We see them more and more and more. Either be it Oldbhoy Mr Tayto. Mr Bop Natster and countless others a surge of youngsters is hitting our shores.
There is nothing wrong with a surge of youngsters but certainly we have had many bad encounters with the young CYDP, Daniel Plainview it seems some lessons eIreland just cant learn.
You dont appoint a high school graduate 2 weeks in to run your business do you. So why do you want to pull the young to such great heights:
Many moons ago Informit published an article about the topic
"It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of war that can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on."—Sun Tzu, The Art of War
If hacking were black magic, social engineering would be one of the darkest arts of all.
Wait you say there is such people and we continue yes there are
Social Engineers Are High-Tech Con Artists
The art of the con is one of the oldest forms of social engineering. Essentially, con artists try to talk you into doing, buying, or selling stuff that you normally wouldn't. They exploit your confidence in what they're talking about, to their own personal gain. Most cons don't involve anything high-tech at all. But a talented con artist who knows something about networks, computers, and security would be a dangerous individual indeed. These hybrid con artists are popularly known as social engineers.
How do they do it:
Control its not about you being in control they are in control unbeknowst to you. You are the marionette and they the puppet master. The social engineer knows people and the easiest way to manipulate people in eRepublik is to become part of their herd also to attack their common enemies and finally to just spread enough information to make you look useful. When you suggest him becoming deputy minister of Finance that is what he was planning all along hence 7 articles just about the economy.
the social engineer in eRepublik is writing the first time article knowing the game inside out. L I G H T S aka Daniel Plainview is 2 articles into his next target Canada. He started with an article making fun of the brutish by using meme generators and pics. Just like his first article here. He deleted all of his old articles changed his avatar to that of a sexy young girl with a catchy phrase and managed in a very short time to become a congressman.
I maybe wrong about Natster (a reference to napster the first p2p music downloader) has played the game for a few years yes true but he is here a short time now.
Why trust him?
I know why because we cant help ourselves. Look its a new puppy.
Depute Minister of Finance is a very sensitive position you are giving him access to passwords and orgs and money. Yes "high school graduate"
Let a person earn your trust before we push him into higher accolades. He may just be here to rob the place and the more time it takea for him to do it the better off we are.
Assess his knowledge. Natster is noobster when it comes to finances the guy makes basic mistakes such as suggesting a 99% work tax.
Im sorry my assessment of him is as total noob even after he played the game longer than me.
Now we can go and look at others:
How can a person who has played 6 days be appointed Minister of Education and then retain the position for 3 months.
Ireland has a risky youth policy. And it will backfire on them again I can assure you.
Per Capita Intelligence
Lets just say after a couple of interactions with you most of you are daft. There is no fireworks. You are furthermore extremely gullible easiy manipulated and the worst thing of all sheep . I cant respect people who dont question strange things such as:
1. A MOF who keeps all of his money in his bank account for eternity even when trustworthy CP's is appointed.
2. Appointing a youngster to a position of trust merely because he wrote a couple of noobish articles barely even touching the subject.
3. An old campaigner who suspected a CP for 2 terms who after 1 comment he makes now trust him completely and misuses this "trust" to point the finger at innocent players.
Also generally its like you just cant think? Why is that?
Multiple points of fail
Yes a computer term we are introducing multiple points of fail in our government from Appleman keeping the money, to a young MOE to Seanan to Ian Arbuckle MOD Ireland is heading for the Iceberg at a rate of knots.

Do you keep a spreadsheet of every new player you're trying to abuse out of the game?
I'd like to see my spreadsheet...lol
[removed]
There is the off chance that new players just think you're twits aswell? 😛 We get new players in with no bias, they get involved, they get RTK bawing that he isn't a Minister.... and now:
http://tinyurl.com/ozz5pyn
He wants to get one of them banned for promoting crisps!
lol
cpt. jackson's first contact with me was accusing me for a theft and that i should return it.
I asked him politely what is he talk about...he ignore my questions and simply continue to repeat return what you stole...
This shemale accused me i called him canadian PTOer even i never heard of him before.
So they are trolls..no brains...but trolls...
Clerics asks logical questions you and your orcs can's answer so you send this...idiots....to troll us...
All i ask you is to send some troll with a fraction of a brain...this.....idiots...are too easy to play with.
I mean most time they troll themself like when shemale confused south africa with USA...
Logic...i new player with an unce of brain would try to hear both sides of story...not launch troll attack coz some ORc told him to do that...
As for Krakken and Tayto, i am not familiar with that issue...that is KRakken's project but i am sure KRakken has a reasons for it...
When have I EVER cried to anyone about being bullied by the likes of you? I would bet the admins are so sick of the two of you kids reporting every second article...(as by the tone of the moderator in Seanan screen shoot below)
And just for the record smarty, I started in on your kids cause you called me a PTO'r, and as an honest player, I took offence to it, requested an apology from Rtk and started getting attacked by BOTH of you. So here we are, I was never asked or supported in playing games with you guys.
I did/do that for my personal satisfaction.
you try to troll both of us and it makes you angry coz you keep ending trolling yourself.
Seriously...South africa and USA?
I mean you discovered new level of stupid....so stupid i makes IQ of entire Ireland lower....
You dont even know are you he or a she!
My dear alexandria...Clerics actually never even tried to troll you....you have not being worthy of CLerics...we might get bored and start playing with you...
You lie so much it's crazy, I never confused SA with the USA.
Prove your allegations. Do even remember when you made that lie up?
You probably got a spreadsheet to keep all your lies together...
Natster is a long time player and been through everything the game can throw at a person. He has my complete trust and any effort he puts into something will only be to it's betterment. Give him a fair shot and he'll show that trust isn't misplaced.
initially got confused with the year date. one needs to control 1 million and 10 orgs to make an impact as deputy mof because of low prize WRM one needs massive storage. deputy mof is therefore way more sensitive spot than it was.. sure appoint him but only in a limited role.
Believe it or not, right now I would politely turn down requests for that position. There's a lot of responsibility, and at this time, I think it would take more time than I can give. My best contributions right now would be with my articles. I am trying to convey different ways of looking at the game, and I know that 100% work tax is not possible. From what I can read, the max is 50%. However, the math of what I did I believe to be right. I'm open for a challenge on this. I did fix a math error in one of my articles and was very open about it, trying to fix it without trying to cover it up.
isn't colin fox MIKE BANE ? he was cp and ILP leader he has knowlodge
this is actually good article :
> I Would like to see indeed nubmer of new player if you running some list
> it's always good to introduce young citizens in gov. because we are investing in future, yes it always be someone like sawc, cydp or DP but hey if you want trustworhy citizens he got retired last month (Bhane). 🙁
>mr.tatyo is doing great work in IA for rest of lads I don't know them.
>in past there was plenty guys who get in congress without even 1 month of working (hard worker) so it's nothing strange. we are in shortage of people, so I'm sure that anybody apply for some duty in gov. will giveen chance to prove himself.

"admitted"
*proudly contributed to the protection of the sovereignty of a prominent Irish party from a PTO threat.
You contributed in PTO against legal candidate of ILP Seanan...
You will be spanked for this you naughty...
yeah i know colin fox says he is mikebane but i was trolling him a bit. mr tayto got appointed to minister spot within 5 days? its a bit short notice many players one feel they are reincarnation of an old player players should be truthful and say who they are. im certain mr tayto maybe an old player who introduced him to his own gang.
Cry more https://forum.erepublik.com/index.php?/topic/2993-big-business-in-erepublik/#entry40554
they got back to me and is looking into it. so expect an outcome soon
i see they got back to you and told you to go away..lol, so much for you being an important gold buyer..lol
Shame on you accusing Mr Tayto of being an advert for business, massive fail big boy.
i meant tayto weirdo not the mods , mods are useless. tayto will eff him up.
SO you contacted Tayto? Like the company? About a screen name someone uses in a free browser game? You sir need a life.
i contacted them to find out if they have marketers working here they would come back here. obviously then the next question would be how was his budget allocated. we as paying customers have a right to ensure that there is not corruption here.
also its not free at all. the concept of a free online game is a misnomer. i among others is paying for your presence here we are not on equal grounding. remember that when you take me on. one day you will just become to unbearable and i will have you removed. do we understand each other.
Have me removed now than. OH dear Jesus Crust NO.
lol. you don't control me nor this game.
Are you drunk again?
And you seriously contacted the company? Regarding Mr. Tayto?
Who has done nothing but help this game?
You contacted the admins, then when they ignored you, you contacted the company? F**K they must have (are still) laughed at you.
This has to seriously be a major breach of game conduct.
You know BOY, we f**K around and play games with each other every day, troll vs. troll, type of shit, But to contact a company and get them involved? You must know Tayto is not with them. What is wrong with you? I'm not even playing here. seriously. that is just F**k'd.

"Depute Minister of Finance is a very sensitive position you are giving him access to passwords and orgs"
Wrong, deputys do not get access to all the orgs, those that apple is confident in may be assigned tasks that require org access, but not the oergs holing the bulk of the state wealth.
you still don't understand the safeguards that are now in place do you.
you mean keeping the money in you own account ie stealing it. its ok nogin nobody really see any use of the money hence care about it. go feed your cat or something.
I cannot comment on the personalities involved here. Because I don't know them.
However the points raised in this article re "Social Engineers & Con Artists" are excellent & very true.
Amazingly good article RTK

Clerics are liars and thieves , kurgan is a thief , release th ekurgan is a thief.
have anyone seen an unused troll brain lie'ing around. seems someone stole it.
Kurgan was a slayer of your corrupted Libertad.
Where is your libertad now cas?
You have sin against Kurgan and Kurgan kicked your libertad into shadows of what you used to be...on world scale.....
Just like i slayed ICA......corruption falls before Clerics....
RtK, if you ever need a hug just give me a shout.
It must be very lonely, living in constant fear.
Yes, New players are risky... there's no doubt about it. Excluding them, harrassing them, treating them with suspicion and skepticism... that's a far riskier approach in my opinion.
Social engineers come in all shapes and forms, and there are indeed several players that play that in this game, but honestly it has become so boring that even the active multi-players (they don't have one central account, but actively play with several in several countries) are bored of this.
I think honestly, you are shooting yourself Krakken, in the sense that you write in such an exaggerated manner with a viable point, that it ends up making it look utterly implausible. And that, when done consciously, is a form of manipulation. When not done on purpose, it shoots itself.
I do think Ireland should be careful, but also allowing while having some risk assessment. If I, a RL foreigner and a player that has not been for so long in e Ireland, but with experience in other countries (to some extent "verified") were to apply for MoF, what would you think?
Or if I were MoE and have good "newbie retention" numbers..?
He'd call you a racist, talk about your dead mother, calm to be in the FBI, steal the countries money and write tickets about you before he's done.
The Cleric way...
Praise Jesus Crust.
part of the article comes from a real social engineer , in fact the control bit is borrowed from him . I dont mean me I kick ass I dont kiss ass.
Where's Vik today? His mom not him use the internet today, cause he didn't vacuum his bedroom again?
omg you are Kevin Mitnick and they gave you job in FBI! Now I finally get it!
thx for the compliment no just researched this. actually parts of it are from an article if you want the reference just ask me. i cant quit it here (external advertising) or tell you which parts are(spam) basically erep is no longer a good tool to write articles in.
multiple points if fail comes from system design and information systems studies its a common term that basically say you have to introduce as little as possible points of failure in a program. and from business analyst as well i remember the one book had a case study explaining why a company succeeded when it implemented a new system or why it failed.
I have that book The Art of Deception
You have an education?
No way, I don't believe it.
@ nyx i watched the movie 🙂 .
@ alexandria u do realize by calling your newspaper "N-word krakken" you have created a point of reference thereby a statement like "You have an education? No way I dont believe it." reinforces people conception of you as racist. its seen as further racist remarks.
COLON Fox?
OM*G, that's hilarious.
