A little theme music
A while ago Nohjis invited some of his friends and associates from eRepublik on a journey to the fabled eBanana Republik of eNohjium. Those of us who accepted received one-way tickets, beachside accommodations, and a bit of mystery. As I think this journey is drawing to an end, it’s time to share some things I’ve learned.
The eUK has gone completely bananas.
It has had that potential for some time, but this last few weeks has made it clear that the whole eCountry is quite bananas. They have had a banana government, have led in forming the Banana Alliance, and seem to be having fun doing it. I wish them well on this continuing adventure.
Minions can be very nice, but you have to take care of them.
It’s still not entirely clear what happened here, but perhaps that explains why the storied Q10 weapons factory is not operational.
There are some things that cannot be destroyed unless we choose to let it happen.
There was talk of treasure here. I’m still not sure exactly what it was, but I have found a treasure I had lost, and that is community. Some of those here on this island have been part of my eJourney for a long time, and they will always have a place in my heart. We may have our little squabbles, but we always know who is on our side. That is a part of the game we create for ourselves, and nobody can take it away from us unless we let them.

Every journey must end in order for a new one to begin.
I’m grateful for the people and places who have been part of my eJourney so far. A few, I have grown to love; some have maddened me; many have taught me things it was good to know. However, part of life is letting go of the past, enjoying the present, and being ready for the future.
No matter how full your heart may be, there is always room for one more.
As I enter this new phase of my eLife, I am finding a special companion is more and more at my side and in my thoughts. He’s playful and kind. He listens to my late-night musings, and I mean really listens, even when I’m saying things he doesn’t particularly want to hear. He has been a true and faithful and patient friend. He regards my friends as his own. He is strong and respects my strength. He makes me smile. Okay, he did pursue a scorched earth policy when I suggested redecorating his tent (eBelgians who remember the term Procuste and I shared in the MoHA offices may guess why), but nobody’s perfect. All in all, with the 14th approaching, a lot of guys could take some lessons from him. A few of you know who I’m talking about. Others may guess. What will the future bring? We’ll just have to wait for the next chapter to see…
Now, if I only knew how we’re supposed to get off this island…

Very good read, speaks loudly to your eFamily and friends. In the end, a lot of what this game is about is community.
as for getting off the island, how about a Q4 helicopter? 😃
You wouldn't happen to know where I could find one of those, would you?
Successfully transferred 1 item(s) to MaryamQ. - just encase you decide to leave,.. The Island does sound quite nice,..
Thanks. It is nice, but it isn't really home, is it?
Yeah, I was wondering what your take would be on this sudden increase in the popularity of bananas.

😉 Personally, I prefer the coconuts that seem to keep popping up here in the eUS.

A little fun in this game, we needed it. Maybe it's time to make a party in our place to invite all of our friends 🙂
Hail eBanana !
We'd better forget the banana juice though. 😉
vodka banana ? 😛
That might work!
Clever Ely guessed my secret. 😉 I think, after the party, I will help her off the island, if she wants to come.
I have been tasked with building two temples to the Banana Goddess on the island.
The first is complete. It's a proper temple.
The second is nearing completion, and, while looking like a lavish-temple-with-obligatory-gift-shop, it's actually a cunningly disguised Q7 Thunderbirds style escape vessel. Your heart-rending story of exiled affection gets you a place in the first class cabin.
😉 VoodooMike, I hereby declare you a saint!
I prefer Revolutionary Temple Dissenter 🙂
Why does it have to end?
It is the fate of all good things.
For me fun never ends,
That may be true, but sometimes you have to seek it in different places.
I did tell everyone it was a one way flight, didn't I ? You will have to find a way to escape from the Island or you'll be stuck on there forever. However, you do have plenty of crazy people around you to keep you company.
That said, I finally will have closure on all the loose ends I was looking at by the time the alliance votes end. 😉
Seems I already have a couple of offers for a return trip. Saves me from making a tunnel with my eSwiss army knife.

So Banana of you 🙂
Great read thx!
Awesome read.
hey 😘
PTO ALERT!
OK, Maryam sneaks out of the US in the middle of the night to take residence in Europe. She spends a couple years poking around Belgium, the UK, all sorts of seedy places. She hobnobs with questionable politicos slowly gaining privilege and power. With here intricate web of confidants and spies she gains privileged information that can manipulate entire governments. Now seeking a "new phase" of her eLife she is in the perfect position to perform clandestine operations in the US. Slowly working her way into the hallowed halls of the American political empire. Brahahahahahahaha!!
FWIW, Rod Damon was right!
Hey, Rod Damon liked me....I think... 😛
Rod like everyone...
That's how he found shit out. 😃
You've blown my cover. Why, dill...why?
Rod Damon liked all but not in his article 😛
Oook?!
a third and colorful means of escape presents itself 😉
Voted
You write real good. Keep it up!
MaryamQ is the best eMum ever 😃
/me gives Konrad his payment in soy cookies
Having fun in a community, that is what makes life beautiful I think. o/
Hello great grandmother! (I think it is?)
Better ask Konrad. 😉 I'm old and find it hard to keep track. ***hugs*** anyway
Well Konrad is my Grandfather.
Ah! Then that would indeed make you my eGreat-grandson. Which are his numerous eProgeny do you come from again?
/me gets out the cookie jar
which *of
He is the some of Maarten and Marie von Gablitz. So he is from me and Timmy ^__^
Oh yes! 😉 You are my beloved eSon, but you are so promiscuous!
Yay cookies!
I cannot help it MQ....
Let the PTO of EZC begin!
😉 Wayne? Nice to see you have it all in place.
