eRepublik meetings – horror in the Romanian bars

Day 347, 08:02 • Published in Romania Romania • by MOBBY

Something interesting happened in our last meeting, held at Curtea Berarilor, on October 31st, 2008 (Day 346 of the New World). First of all, it was the largest meeting yet, with about 28-30 participants. Bogdan Adamutz booked a table for 20 persons, so when other waves of eRepublik users came, the bartenders started to freek out. We managed to get another table, so that everyone could have a place to store their countless 1 liter, empty pints of beer. Of course, I had my usual glasses of wine.

One of the participants was George Lemnaru, which I wanted to meet for at least 8 months, but only now I had the chance. Amongst us there were also new users, which joined our community 1 or 2 months ago (SinCity).

The meeting took place in the usual manner: lots of beer, fun, comments and pizza. It seems that the managers kept their word given to us on Tuesday, when they said that the kitchen will be opened.

Most of the participants were the usual ones, but the “main event” (for me) was George’s participation, who tried to talk to all “the new people”, to receive feedback, comments, suggestions. It seems that, at least in Bucharest, a small community of players and friends has been formed, which try to attend to every meeting and interact as much as possible with their collaborators from the game. Thus, this is one of eRepublik’s greatest achievements: the transfer of interaction, friendship and fun from the game into real life.

Without boring you with stories about the “common” things that happened there, Belea2008 gave us a surprise, and handed over 2 eRepublik T-shirts to Ival and Malika. Of course, they had to take off their clothes and put on the new T-shirts on. I will not make public the video that shows them exchange their clothes, but some pictures will give you an idea of the process. After that, we all started dancing in the bar, although there was little room for all of us; but we managed to have lots of fun and put a smile on the other people’s faces.

At about 1 o’clock, we left Curtea Berarilor and headed to Club Metropolis, at the 4th floor of Unirea Shopping Center, where the fun continued well into the night…

Now, let’s get down to the real purpose of this article: the pictures… Due to the fact that there were made over 300 pictures, I decided to “break” my rule of making all of them public, and tried to post the most relevant ones… I hope you understand that there are technical limitations for all of us. If you have interesting pictures that you want to be published, please contact me.
