Spelling Is Not Always Important

Reluctantly:

Recently Ajay told a serving marine that the real life armed forces had no honour. Your Army, Marines, Coast Guard, Navy... the Seals, Green Berets... the pilots, the artillerymen and the fella chowing down in barracks -- no honour. Imagine that. - olivermellors

oliver, I stand by my statement. Since the repeal of that VERY fair policy, it has been void of honor – RGR

Dear AFA

A little reluctant advice on building your party.

You do not benefit from association with a player who will say anything.

You are hurt by association with a man who will repeat something he said, just because he said it and can’t admit it was a mistake.

You will not be trusted if you trust a player who will say and repeat the most outrageous, dumb, debauched, depraved, unbelievable things. You will be branded as unthinking as he.

I know that in this game we don’t approach a high level of thinking. Many are attracted to unthinking, to raw emotion, to watching the drama. It is why the Jerry Springer show is popular. A kind of catharsis mixed with self congratulations: “see, I’m not THAT messed up, I’m okay”.

Here is the thing. Not many of the Springer brawlers get attractive job offers as corporate executives. Any company who hired such misfits would soon find themselves paying a high price: employee turnover, customers leaving in droves and a wrecked bottom line.

Honour is valuable no matter how you spell it and so is credibility.

Choose.

If you are nauseated by the dishonourable, consider shouting this tiny url

I know the guy who got insulte😛 Emdoublegee. He's one of my best friends around eRepublik and I don't admit such things.

Why would anyone knock the people who put their lives on the line in RL to keep everyone else safe?

not Cool.

With Ajay, it's really difficult to know if his statements are truly reflective of who he is as a game player, or if it's a game strategy to garner attention to his "cause", even if negative.

Although I realize that he makes it really difficult to steer away from associating his in game persona, with his real life person, I try my best to anyway & I suspect that the players who belong to the same party, try to do the same.

The biggest drawback for those players is, that depending on their command of the English language, they might not realize the significance of some of the statements that he makes.

I think that Ajay will always be a part of this game, one way or another. I suspect there are other, very similar characters also playing, that we are unaware of because they choose to keep a low profile.

All the best oliver! o7

No, I was not wrong.

UCMJ - Article 125.. read it... and obey it....

I stand by my statement because it was right, and has been right since this policy was forced upon a military that does NOT want it.
