Goodbye
Dan Heylin
Well this is going to be one of the hardest articles for me to write yet......
As of June 15th the APF Militia was no more. Most of the members including myself just sat in our irc channel watching in horror as our party, our militia, and our hard work fall apart before our eyes because of this man
Jude Connors
Jude its funny how your such a hippie, oh where was ur peace when u destroyed our party?
Shortly after the successful PTO Jude came into our IRC room. Ill do a summary of what happened. Jude came in here all happy thinking he was on top of the world thinking that now because he won everyone would fall in place, become those zombies, and silence the ones that wouldn't. Every militia member in that room hatted him. He just took something that we had made, built, run and loved so what do you expect. There was back and forth talk about how APF people begged him to take over the party because we were a liability and so on. So at this point some mean names were thrown around, someone gave the idea to jude to jump off a bridge and so on. At the end right before he left jude said, and i quote, "anyway guys th emilitia will have very little changes, nothing*, i just wanted to say Hi and see what you guys were thinking."
Then jude left. Well i guess he has a different meaning of little then i do. The first thing to go was the name. Then one of this biggest things that surprised me and almost brought me to tears was the loyalty. Not one active member of the militia would go, not one. Guys i have known since that start of the militia, guys that i had helped, that i had become best friends with didnt have to think twice about not joining the new militia. I was aw struct at the sight. It seemed to me that they were more dedicated and faithful to the militia then the party.
At first the militia was just a militia, a group of people that fought together, that gave out guns and had fun on the irc. But over the months we were more then a militia, we are all just a group of friends, i wasnt even in it for the guns anymore. I just loved being a part of the militia.
The 15th Jude came to me and offered me the chance to become the USWP Workers Militia General, I will not lie for a moment i wanted to, for a moment i actually considered taking it, but that was a moment. I could not work for someone that PTO'd a party, my party, someone who destroyed the militia i helped build, someone that tarnished all my memories of that APF Militia. So now where will the rode take me, a new country? A new party? The Army? Or perhaps ST6 i dont not know.
So now as i bring this article to a close I would just like to thank everyone that made it what it is today. Especially Stormin who started us,
Marxus, who was a key role to our success, who quickly became my friend and who stayed up late with me on irc trying to come up with the best possible routs for our militia,
Ian Holm who stuck with us in our ups and downs, Ian was one of the very first to join us, and was in it till the end.
Sunnygyrl315 who was one of the best, she was one of my first privates, and became a power house in APF leadership. She will forever be my friend.
Then there is S-Mac31 he joined us later but defiantly became a key member. Its kind of ironic his joining, he wondered into our chat the night when MM2 tried to PTO us and he ends a month later when Jude Connors did PTO us.
Ohhh and how can we ever forget Jacksondr5, jackson made all of our IRC experience something different for me, he was always the one using the CAPS, always the one arguing, and always the one annoying the hell out of me, but for that he became one of my best friends and has so much potential with this game.
There is also LexLuthor1, at the start of APF Lex was the DCoS and then became the CoS, immediately Lex was focused on helping us, he started so many reforms that would of made us shine but we never could finish them because of the unforeseen circumstances. Lex will always have a place in the militias history books.
K-Ratz and Horst who are my RL friends and shall always be, us and stormin were the founding members of this great militia which we shall always love, and shall always be apart of, so i thank you for everything you guys have done.
I also want to thank anyone that donated to us, you were greatly appreciated and anyone who i forgot to mention thanks!
Ohh and i want to give a personal thank you to the almighty Jude Connors by taking away some of the best times I have ever had in this game. So thank you!
At the end of the party i was the Colonel of the militia, but then Walter Joseph Kovacs resigned so by fault making me the new General, something that i had dreamed about. But now i must do something i never even wanted to dream about,
I Dan Heylin General of the APF Workers Militia hereby publicly announce the end of the APF Workers Militia. It has been fun and i have enjoyed my time here. So now we must all say goodbye.
Thank you APF Militia for everything you have done for me I shall always be in your service,
General Dan Heylin APF Militia
Comments
Or...
you could have just kept together and moved to the new party.
Sad it had to be this way.
Sorry we are faithful and do not support PTOers
Jude.
Dan built that from the ground. That militia ment a lot to all of us. It's shame you couldnt build something close to what he built, so you stole it from him. You could have made your own party, and your own militia. And dont give me this BS that people wanted you to. You could have taken them.
I might like what you stand for, I might not like what you stand for. But Dan is one of the best people in this game. You can report this, try and trash me, do whatever you want, but this guy built something, and I stand by him. Shame on you for taking it from him.
qq over a name change. APF was falling apart, so it got new leadership and a new name. You just wouldn't be the "APF" Militia anymore.
We wouldnt just be PTO'ed by people to lazy to build up there own stuff.

Wallisssssss.
LOL
That's just fantastic.
LOL
Thanks for the laughs. If only you knew how many APF people supported me; you would be amazed.
I also continue to receive thanks from many people in other parties.
As for the militia, Jarhoul hit it on the head. It would still be the Workers Militia, just back in USWP where it originally started as the USWP TD. Only change would have been the APF part of the name.
But haters gonna hate; that's what they do.
The death of the militia is on the hands of those that decided that politics were more important than the militia.
Jude its funny how your such a hippie, oh where was ur peace when u destroyed our party?
love that quote
and also we werent putting politics before the militia but our personal beliefs before you
I'm not hating. I'm not loving, I'm just missing my party, my militia, and the days where countries didnt pto each other. You 'member, 'member?
@Jude...frankly this why people HATE you. This is NOT the place for you to be making your point of view known. Dan is trying to say goodbye to a group of people he cares about and here you are ruining it with your useless comments...JUST STOP. No one cares what you have to say here GO AWAY. Just when I was getting ready to but aside my disgust with you ...you strike again. As long as Jude is the head of the USWP all real citizens of the eUSA should be doing what they can to destroy it. There are 4 other parties in the top five support them. God, you are a useless excuse for a person in every way Jude.
Well... you guys were offered spots by me personally. Some of you have stayed on, some of you haven't. I hate to see you go and I sure hate the bad blood, but the militia belongs to and is paid for by the party and it's members. It started as the USWP Workers Militia and that's what is now. Good luck with whatever you decide on and I'd highly recommed ST6.
@Dan: Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry I could not do more for you guys. The APF militia taught me that militias are the future of the eUSA and this game. I will do all I can in my new party, in Congress, etc to wave the flag of militias...they add a lot to the game and are a great tool for retention and fun.
If I could do it over again I would have started and ended with doing what ever I could to make the APF militia an even cooler group of PENIX killerz than they were 🙂
Youre a good guy luthor.
you are to S-Mac, and Dan, and Marxus, and Ian, and K-Ratz, and Greek, and all the members of the APF militia...Sorry I could not hold the party or the militia together :/..I failed, none of you did.
Speaking of destroying people's work, how about that time when they took the USWP that Jude had helped make amazing and merged it into one giant turd of a party before giving the party to SEES. Once again, QQ.
Jarhoul...NO ONE Dan mentioned in his article was involved in that. Frankly if you had any testicles you would yell at MM2 for that...who by the way bankrolled the new USWP ads...so where does that leave you exactly?
Already yelled at him for it Lex 😉
Just providing some counter arguments as to why Jude isn't Satan. But you make a valid point, this isn't the venue for this. I digress, but still confused as to the point of all this boo-hooery.
USWP Militia > APF Militia > USWP Militia.
?
Ok well Lex you are awesome and I <3 u
Jarhoul idk who you are
Greek you were always in it for yourself
and Jude your a hippie speaks for itself.
I didnt want to get into an argument on my newspaper, i just wanted to give the militia the goodbye it deserved
Excerpt from the article:
>almost brought me to tears
Get a life dude, let your citizen die on here, get a girlfriend, try to get laid. Maybe a job, but crying over something that was a part of the game? I don't care if you are even speaking figuratively this article was a BAWWW fest, seriously you take your game playing to seriously. You have fun with your next country after a sob article like this I am pretty sure you are done here. PEACE!
@Lex
If he is just trying to say bye, what is the relevance on Jude being mentioned in the article, I believe at one point they even admitted to calling him "mean names" and telling him to take a nice jump off a bridge was it? I believe he has every right in the eWorld to comment here, however I am an intellect at heart, and you?
@alfred..First you have often spent your time in irc trolling female players, when confronted with the fact that this is a sign you do not get laid in rl (by me) you said you are "fine with that". Don't suggest Dan or anyone else get a girlfriend as you have some problems with that by your own words. As for Jude ...well he never shuts up. He comments in the APF forum, he sends for people for one on one chats and then never PM's. I was not just talking about this article I think Jude should do the USWP a solid and shut up...then resign. The USWP could actually be a viable party with anyone else but him leading it. TRUE FACT 😉
I'm sorry but Jude is one of the PP's who turned USWP into a leading power house, wrong or right? Also love how you took my trolling you in IRC and tried to turn it against me, real cool guy to do that :3 however, my point still stands anyone can comment where the he/she chooses. So you need to calm down big boy, I suggest you take the advice I gave cry baby who wrote the article as well, your comments are full of BAWW just as much as the article. Less QQ more Pew Pew
@Alfred...here are the names that turned USWP into a power house: Cerb, Josh Frost, ligtreb, Jasper F., Ian John Locke, Gobucks, Inwegen, Scrabman, Harrion Richardson. Jude had NOTHING to do with it. Learn your history if you want to start talking about who made the USWP great. I am not giving you crap but it is the truth ...you do not know anything about the party if you think Jude made it great.
Lol he inherited a great party, but if it continues to grow under a person would you not call that continuing greatness? Lrn2Logic
HAHAHAHA....his leadership help its decline...how else could MM2 roll into the AAP and Dem-Reps? The USWP at its height had 26 seats in congress and the CP was a member along with being the number one party....how did Jude grow the party? He didn't as it NEVER saw those numbers again...So what logic are you talking about?
Also it's pretty clear that you have a personal grudge against one man, may I suggest you take your sissy fight to the PM's and see if he responds to you, sadly you seem pathetic and beneath a response from him with your obsessive rants. You know just a thought a brah, you come off just as butt hurt as the guy who came close to tears writing this article. Even if I am wrong about the USWP facts who cares? He was supported by a lot of people even within your own party. Also for a SEES member your a bad a troll, take you daily lessons with MSTA then graduate to the next level. Until then it's been real bro.
oh alfred..."even if I am wrong about the facts who cares?" WOW ...just wow. Now you run away once proven wrong. There is no pain in these words fool...just logic, as you helped prove by saying that you have the facts wrong. Thank you for admitting that, just next time do it without the rants and attacks. I am glad I wasted a bit of time talking with you as all those who read this will know you have no idea what you are talking about ...and are fine with it.
Sure just ignore the rest of the comment 😉
No I mentioned you said you are wrong about the facts 😃
@Dan, yes I spent my own money to make sure the Militia received guns and gifts when the org could not properly keep its crap together. And you wonder why so many people quit the APF Militia before Jude inherited.
FOR GLORY!!!
Here's to the future, my good friend! May politics stay out of my militia, and my militia continue to rock wherever they may go!
Let me just say this. We quickly became the biggest source of R&R and manpower for the APF, and we took that seriously. It was mind boggling that you would expect us to blindly work for you, when you destroyed what we had worked for.
But, I hope that this bickering will not continue much longer, its getting old, and fast. You took over a party out of some strange nostalgia, just let us remember the good ole days.
Jude killed something else....no...couldn't be...
ty APF militia I had fun and good luck to those I have met..Take care all..🙂
Hope to see you guys join ST6.
I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better caliber of hard-working people who share a common goal across party lines in any other organization outside of the official US military.
(Admittedly biased but that's my sincere opinion.)
o7
someone is butthurt over the lost of position in the militia
I am sad I didn't get more mention, since I was APF General and donated a ton of gold 😕
About the whole APF vs. USWP thing, I was never a fan of the APF.
Hate to break it to you but you werent rlly a general, more like a figurehead i would say. You did no amount of work and was barely seen on the irc, your colonel and your lts were doing all the work.
So then you were mentioned here>> I also want to thank anyone that donated to us
And if you never liked the apf why the hell were you the general of the militia!
The purpose of militias in eRepublik is to add an additional layer of interactivity among players so they can develop friendship with other players and maintain interest in the game. This article shows that the Workers Militia, first USWP, then APF, and now back to the USWP, accomplished this goal. Anyone who'd like to be a part of the Workers Militia, send me a message.
Dan, don't be upset, just remember that only one of us is trying to keep the militia going.
First Aersdidius way to totally advertise the militia on my article saying that the apf one was dead lol 😛
Also if your trying to hint that you are trying to keep the militia going then well its about time! In the apf militia you did nothing, except maybe side with a PTOer, but now look who is all excited and finally doing something now hes got a nice position.
Politics are politics. That is the nature of the beast.
All the hard work and effort is not forgotten about as long as those who fought for it persevere and carry on.
As my friend Arnie would say 'STOP WHINING'

My My! Voted!
Jude is a jerk in my opinion. Voted!
dude i hate hippies and i hate progressives, but i hate hippies more, you have my support!
I wont get in the arguement, but once you get to the point when a game makes you write articles like that ,fight with people and hypothaticly burst into tears, you should stfu, gtfo, and find another game, or better yet, a life. A game is made for you to have fun, if you get to these situation, quit. And its not just for Dan, its for every man who took this telanovela crap seriously.
ktnxbb 😛
