Concerning Blejk and the use of Multis
•
by Rod Damon
I was saddened to see the following announcement in Manong's article the other day:
"eBelgian Congress Member Blejk has been permanently suspended due to an alleged use of multis! Blejk apologizes to the eBelgian populace by fervently stating that he did not use the multis during the past elections to secure his seat. He says that due to his defection from his former EDEN allies that knew some of the "dirt" he had, they used it against him when he turned and sided with eBelgium. Nonetheless, he apologizes truly from his heart and will come back and join us, side-free and dirt-free."
I had spoken with Blejk a few times last term and had respected his position and the stance he took. While it was to early to say we were friends, I would like to think that would happen in time.
I am highly disappointed to learn that he was a cheater.
The creation and use of multis FOR ANY reason is unacceptable and should not be condoned or minimized by ANYONE.
I realize that I have probably more investment in the battle against multis and cheaters then most people in the game, but when I hear people try to justify or explain cheating as something we should accept, I truly wonder why you play a game.
Do you choose to play any other game with people you know cheat? Would you play Poker or Monopoly or Chess with someone who is going to cheat? Why would you want to play this game with them?
Cheating is a plague on eRepublik and one that requires the players to take a stand and get active about. If anyone is interested in becoming more active in the battle against cheaters, please send me a message.
If the people of Belgium would want me to ask for a thorough examination of their elected and appointed officials, please let me know.

Voted.So.Hard.
There are mmultis and multis.
.
I know someone who were banned for sitting 😛, that's kinda harsh too😁 (ok, she was sitting too much but...)
@Jofroi Sitting is against the rules, they should have known that so it isn't harsh. We play in a game where the admins set out specific rules. If we don't folow them, it's fair for us to be banned.
what is sitting
my boyfriend often came in my house, then if he will live with me.
I have multi? for admin yes, but in the game, be honest : no.
Multi is easy to see : with code of verification. But sometimes, you have in each country a lot of gamers who know the right programm and never they will be ban.
It's a fact, when my boyfriend come in my house, and if i will be ban because i have a real life. Erepublik will be faster forget for me.
Blejk's here. Rod manong just paraphrased what I asked him to say. While I did my share of bad stuff in the past I just wanted to reassure the citizens that I don't approve of this kind of methods for a long, long time and they had no impact on the recent elections. At no point I would try to implicate that those kind of transgressions are in any way acceptable. The use of multis was a part of my service as a spy and while I condemn that kind of behaviour now I truly belived that it was a neccesary evil back than. I'm not trying to say I am innocent and don't deserve the punishment. I'm just trying to clarify that I didn't cheat in the current elections. While my credibility is currently almost not existant I still had the right to try to explain that.

I understand the reasons that people cheat in this game. I have spent 8 months leading a charge against cheaters. In the end, no justification makes it right. This is something I have no sympathy on.
I do appreciate hearing from you and wish you well for the future. Glad to see your current citizen is new.
Elynea,
There is more then sharing an IP that goes into banning multis. If that were all it took, I am sure we would have more bans to our credit.
Elynea: Don't worry, significant others, children, siblings, using one computer sometimes get hassled by admins they almost always, as I've heard, win their appeals.
Which is worse for the eBelgians: having a congressman voted in by multis, or by Americans?
daniecox,
I sure hope that was suppose to be a poor attempt at humor.
i know couple who was ban. You put avatar in the same adress ip, different computer, it's time to see goodbye Erep.
No trade... it's not a problem for admins. One account, one ip.
that's the game.
I want discuss the practice, but here's the theory:
"5. A real user may express his/her will upon only one citizen.
5.1 Creating or administrating multiple citizen accounts is prohibited and will result in a permanent ban. The use of the same IP by more citizens is NOT considered to be a criterion to determine multiple accounts." (eRepublik Laws)
@danie: So, cheating is okay if it helps a "free and neutral Belgium" (eg, PHX controlled) but EDEN working within game rules to influence elections is not?
Thank you for being so frank. You make my case for me.
All cheaters have self esteem problems. It's part of their character (or lack there of).
loul
You think that an admin spends time verifying?
It is an automatic program. Put an "avatar" for two different persons from a same ip, and you will see the result.
The codes of checks are not there for nothing🙂
Before I worked to make a document for a summary of names to the news players. I saw in fews countries... a lot of multis.
Do you think that the computing is difficult to be changed?
Ask a computer specialist.
I'm Kryty and I endorse Rod Damon (;
I spend some of time searching for multies and fighting them in this game. We keep banning them but they keep comming. For every multi banned there are two multies created... It's a plague...

you are mistaken. I see enough lists to know this for a fact. there is no automated check like that.
If you say it.
