A Guy at the Right Place at the Wrong Time.

"I'd say that I haven’t done half bad for the country for just being 17, a high school senior, part time partially employed, and from the valley of the sun, Arizona."


Well, I haven't done half good either. As I publish this article I am on vacation and just barely two clicking, some days I don't even get that far.

I was one of the smallest beta giants. Sure, I had a great grasp on game mechanics, but I kept private most of the time, that is at least, in article form. No one ever really had to depend on me other than the military.

I had some great ideas, at least I thought. I originally was going to make a web based map,almost exactly like the one Publius made http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-world-is-a-spiderweb-796661/ due to the fact that "The New World" had no oceans, and every region was exactly the same, for use for the military. Obviously, I never got around to finish it, and he beat me to it.
The region web was also going to be a segway to a new political party I was going to make.

The unrealist movement was going to be a party that separated "The New World" from real life dogmas that are actually a pandemic that cripples this nation. Publicly denouncing any one who refuses to play erepublik like a game, and to correct fallacies that real life brings here was supposed to move our nation forward. But even here it seems I was bested. Scrabman recently published an article that is more or less verbatim of what I wanted the unrealist movement to accomplish. http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/role-play-vs-game-play-the-game-within-a-game--819222/1/20
I suppose that it had to be said eventually, but god that is eerie.

I am glad that the military has a moblie voting corps. But with citizenship on it's way, (something I'm sure the admins will screw the pootch on) it maybe already too late to be effective.

And that may have been my fualt.


While this article is not to announce my death, for I have already died in the eyes of the public, this article is my offical announcement, or rather my denouncement, of me caring about the future of this game for the time being. Obviously it doesn't do any good when I do have ideas.

I have already transfered ownership if our national IRC channel to Princessmedypi. It's a peice of junk anyways.
Nothing in my citizen accounts to give away, nothing in my orgs. I'm going to sell my company once I reach skill 7 in land.

Like I said before I'm already dead. So this isn't Sam's or Benn's "suicide" articles. Just merely saying that I could've, should've, done that. Hell, I could've even had an outside chance of running for president, three months ago.

USA, watch who you vote for, make sure he actually changes the country for the better, don't fall for traps, and discard real life dogmas to succed.
