[Citizens Insiders] 500 days of eRepublik

Day 680, 07:14 • Published in • by Plato

Dear citizens,

We would like to talk a bit more about our citizen-written Insiders project, and to clarify some aspects. Most of our citizens liked the idea, and many of them expressed their desire to participate. On the other hand, we have received many e-mails containing links to articles having nothing to do with the proposed subject.

As we have stated before, you have to write about specific topics, which are publicly announced. We would like to promote original and good articles of our talented journalists, so please focus on the proposed themes, don't send us links to various random articles.

Below we have a nice article condensing a 500 days experience of eRepublik world, about learned lessons, friendships,enemies, and real-life influences, written by citizen atilaa. You can find his newspaper here

“Three times during these 500 days I wanted to leave this game, but it was like something would miss in my real life. eRepublik is now part of my life. And I'm not regretful for that. You know why? Because..

I have learned a lot of things here in eRepublik, which are really useful in real life:


-I have learned how to be a politician;
-I have learned how to be calm when I'm angry;
-I have learned how to get angry;
-I have learned that friendships don't last forever;
-I have learned that being enemy with someone lasts less than being friend;
-I have seen many friends becoming enemies;
-I have seen many enemies becoming friends;
-I have found out what is the real meaning of double crossing;
-I have found out what is like to be honest;
-I have seen how profits are better than benefits;
-I have found out how profits are sacrificed for benefits.

And beside these..

eRepublik made me look after many things..

-When I wanted to make a new party, I went looking after some politics manuals, and it was really hard to find some good ones.
-While I was arguing with hasan1, I was really interested to see what real fascist are like, and also what their beliefs are.
-When I became president for the first time, I went looking after business terms, `cause I knew nothing about that. And also, I've realized that the English we have learned in university wasn't enough for at least saying some greetings, so I attended English classes.(still I don't know much 😃)

Want to say more?Alright.

-When we've been to Norway to fight in the RW started by Romanians, my blood adrenalin was so high that I couldn't sleep for 2 days!!
-When we've lost the Northwest Territories battle, I broke the smoking record!!
-When I found a girl-friend here, I was very excited but after I found out that it was a GUY actually, I was more excited 😃
-When I made a party which everyone hates, but still all of them are members of it, I was so proud of myself.
-When I saw that some old players are here to make me leave this game, I got more determined to stay 😃

ANYWAY! I LOVE U EREPUBLIK AND I WOULDN'T TRADE YOU FOR ANYTHING ELSE!“



The topics for the next Insider which YOU might write, are: “How do you think eRepublik will be like five years from now? Use your imagination!” and "What does it mean to have success in eRepublik?" You can choose either one to write about.

The deadline is: until articles with these topics will get published in EI. Usually the deadline will be one week.

Maintenance announcement: Tomorrow, day 681 of the New World, servers will be taken offline for about two hours, starting 0😇0 AM (eRepublik time) for scheduled maintenance.

Regards,
The eRepublik Team
