What are Serbs like? Americans, Spanish...? Find out and make new friends!

I believe Not alone would best fit while reading this!

No, this has nothing to do with correlations between their countries, RL or here. It's about one player meeting another, sharing their experiences and much more. I should probably film a documentary about this. How this all get started? And when?

Simple enough. Actually, it is very complicated. I'm supposed to “draw“ you all the good stuff you get having as much friends as possible. But it’s not such an easy job to do. I will give a try!

Two days ago Plato and “his guys” (I wonder why does he call them like that 😃) implemented new module. The biggest and most unwanted change are land plots. Why? Because we can’t sell them. And everyone got three free land plots.
Well, entire Croatia knows I borrowed 150 gold a week ago and promised to return it within 30 days with 10% interests. I bought companies thinking it’s a great chance. It wasn’t.

This is the part where I got so many friends.
I was all day sitting, discussing and waiting on the ingame forum trying to get some answers. All I got was
It costs you 10 Gold to create the company, but you have to add 1000 local currency to that creation cost. Also, all citizens received as a gift, 3 free land plots.
Plato was repeating himself just like his headless chicken.

Some of us on the forum became friends. I had exactly 1000 friends. So I decided to make some more. After all, it is boring to read same shouts over and over. I opened Rankings and sent friendship request to 2000 players from all around eRepublik. More than half accepted.

Off course, some people rejected my request. But they were mostly from Hungary. I do not know why. Maybe they are taking this game to seriously? Only few of them accepted.
With Jarlaxle and kovex I spent some time talking about our history we shared in RL. We were asking ourselves what if. But we also agreed it would be waste of time, and that we got our opportunity to create history here!
addictive1975 was little afraid we might ran to each other on the battlefield, but I convinced him to accept.

I must say how surprised I am about Serbs! Only one rejected me. Well, few of them inspected me why I wanted to make friends with them. But I like them a lot. When I wanted to leave the game, few people asked me to stay and consoled me, saying everything will be better. Two of them were Serbs, COMBE and Pravoslavac Zauvek. Well, COMBE did joke me because I am Croatian. I also met Isaile. He shouted that people who borrowed 20 or 40 gold to buy companies are in deep trouble. It was a bit funny when he found out I borrowed 150 for the same purpose.

I also discussed new changes with AlphaMFPEFM_Z, Hossein M and googoodoll. We all agreed we don't like them much.

Antwone is the person I enjoy talking to. He came to Croatia from Spain a couple of days ago. We mostly talked about G.I. Joe, comparing animated series with the movies. And about American girls. And about Baroness! Do American girls really like guys with European accents?

When I was sending friendship requests, I also looked at profiles of those 2000 people. I watched their articles, shouts and avatars. I enjoyed the whole process.
Serbs are shouting hilarious things. God, their shouts make me laugh! They are the funiest people in eRepublik. On the other hand, I think their avatars are the worst. Nothing personal, just, they are somehow depressive. Best avatars I found in Indonesia. I couldn’t help noticing, but seems like most of the girls can’t stand being weaker here like in RL. Most of them are soldiers, especially in the USA. And Israel, off course! 🙂

For the end, I would like you to meet some of my friends who were ready to borrow me almost all their gold (I wish I could tell you how much 😁, just so I wouldn’t bankrupt. They are Stivek, LukAna and Agrammon. Of those 150 gold I borrowed, half of it belonged to Rakija and cRoNuS bla, and both of them said I can keep their gold little longer than we agreed. But I said I will give them back everything in time.

Do you see now why players can not be selfsustained? We can have 20 companies, we can produce everything for ourselves… But this game isn’t about ourselves. It is about us all! That’s one thing for sure Plato and “his guys” can’t take away from us!

Live long and prosper! 🙂 And send me a friendship request!
