Join the new world

I was betrayed, one more time. Compassion, will and desire had eluded me, temporarily. I thought, "Life is too short."I'll quit the game and pursue my hobby, rock collecting." rock climbing."
I've cleared my head. I'm ready to begin writing, again.
Also, I have a tank surplus. I can't rest, until these weapons are in the hands of our young citizens.
I'm going to divide this article into sections. There is a lot to cover.

Section #1 Social Welfare Programs (Tanks for Tots and Government Cheese🙂

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It was developed a long time ago by people more clever than myself, and probably you, too. It's a means of synchronous conferencing between multiple clients over a network that uses a dedicated communications layer. It's a chat room. Although dated by a couple decades, nobody has got around to developing a suitable replacement, even if various attempts have been made with varying degrees of success.
And you're thinking, "That's Great! I'll use that!" Yes, my young apprentice, you will.

1. There are many IRC clients and web pages available to get you connected. Each has their own features and requirements. Below are just a few clients available (click on the names below):

Mibbit Web Client

Chatzilla (Firefox, add on)

IceChat IRC

2. The only server for American eRepublik chat is Rizon. Each client is different for setting your default server so follow their instructions.

3. Enter and Register your nick. I would highly suggest that your nickname is the same as your in-game eRepublik name.

To register your nickname, type in the following when you are signed in under the nickname you want to use:

Code: /msg NickServ REGISTER password email

Example: /msg NickServ REGISTER mypassword you@validemail.com

Note: The email address must be a valid email address you can use, and password must be a valid password (i.e., it cannot be your nickname or less than 5 characters long).

After issuing that command, an email will be dispatched with a confirmation code to your email address from service@rizon.net. Copy and paste the codes within 24 hours from your email address you just registered to complete the registration process; otherwise the nick will be available for others to register:
Code: /msg nickserv confirm confirmationCode

4. Indentify your nick since many chat channels require it for security reasons.

Use the following syntax at the command line:

Code: /ns IDENTIFY password (on mibbit)



5. Join a chat channel (syntax to do such is: /join #Channel). Below are a few well known channels:

#usa-chat – Main eUS Chat Channel for new players
#vox - Vox Populi Party Chat Channel
#amp – AMP Party Chat Channel
#fedpartychat – Federalist Party Chat Channel
#bol - Bastards of Liberty Party Channel

(You will find many others that are active)




Special IRC Guide Edition. Part #2;
IRC 101, A Layman's Guide:

(Special, Thanks to Zhao Ji,)

Supreme master of the art of disappearance.


by Zhao Ji


Now that you've got the basics down and you've been talking around, you might think that you're some kind of hotshot. Well, you'd be wrong in thinking that because in fact, there is only one hotshot and his name is Han Solo. For everyone else there's only mediocrity.


If Han Solo played eRepublik, you know he'd join the SFP


So time to tackle the mighty question: What the hell is a client? It's a dedicated (in some cases) program that is specifically (again, not always) used to connect to IRC networks the world over, and let me tell you, it's a whole different ball game from the web client you've been using thus far.

So you're thinking, "Cap'n Zhao? Why would I want to get a program that's dedicated to IRC and stop using the excellent qchat web client you just gave me? It works great!" Well because, grasshopper, what works for you won't necessarily work well for everyone. Some people have trouble with web clients, especially Java based ones. So they need an actual program on their computer instead.

Now there are a few possibilities and the choice is yours:

mIRC: A Windows-only dedicated (rea😛 single platform. More on this below.) Developed by one Khaled Mardam-Bey. He's some kind of one man army. Click the link to go to the page and download it.

Once you install, fire it up. In the latest version, it might prompt you to fill out your name and some details. You don't have to do any of that and it will still work groovy. You'll get a splash screen or two telling you some info and asking you to register. That costs money. We're cheapo pirates. Ignore it, and soon enough it will go away. Leaving you with...! Stalling tactic...! A blank screen. "What?!" Cries you. Don't worry, that's normal.

See, unlike the web client, these installed programs take a bit of setting up, but all of the commands are virtually the same for every one. To connect directly to our channel, type into the main window (They're called status windows, by the way) "/server -m irc.rizon.net -i {your nick} -j #socialistfreedomparty" (Don't forget to fill in the brackets and remove the quotes, eh?) That should connect you into our channel. To identify type into that same box (Status window) "/ns identify {password goes here}" where password is the password you chose to use in the last guide.


But wait, there's more!



What? "Everything on Linux is free?" You're joking, right?

XChat: It runs on both Windows and Linux. (If you're running Linux, chances are you're already a hardcore technophile. In which case, what the hell are you reading this for?) But it is still an IRC dedicated program. All of the commands are the same, so it's like the IRC client all of the cool indie kids would use if IRC was a high school.


Those are the two main really good ones that will work 9 times out of 10. There's also a whole laundry list of others that you can pick and choose from. Just remember it's all the same once you plug them in. If you've used one, you've used them all.

"That's all well and good, Oh Wise One, but I'm not convinced." Ah, you must want a list of reasons, then. Very well.

Amongst higher chances of compatibility, you'll also get the option to keep logs of your conversations, maintain highlight and notify lists. (We'll talk about that last one when you're older.) Also, the ability to auto-connect and auto-identify, and all around more automation in general. If that doesn't sell it, well then you also get an online timer. (With mIRC anyway) So you can keep track of just how much time you've spent away from family as the memory of their warmth fades away to be replaced by cold despair and bitter regret.


That's all for now. Next time we'll learn to go to the bathroom all by ourselves.

(Part #3, #4, #5 and 6 are coming soon........Maybe.
