Chris Stanwick, one of my best friends in this game for a long time now, is requesting deletion.
He is, in my own opinion, likely the most ambitious player the New World has ever seen. Though, you probably wouldn’t know this if you didn’t know him. He never never won the presidency, never was a Battle Hero, never a Resistance Hero, and never reached the 20 strength threshold. Most unfortunately, he’ll be remembered by most of you as the man who was forced to resign as Deputy Secretary of State of the United States last July under Harrison Richardson because of the alleged “leak” of a self-penned peace proposal between U.S. and PEACE forces during World War III.
To myself and others, however, he’ll be remembered as having the absolute best page on the wiki as well as being one of the most consistently professional and respectful people this game has ever seen. We can all learn from his example.
He's quit once before and is requesting deletion of his account because, as he told me, he wants to eliminate the temptation to return. He’s informed me that he’s going to be a dad by the end of the year and, therefore, has much more important priorities now and for the rest of his life than that of eRepublik.
Send him your regards while you still can. The New World will forever mourn his loss, but we shall rejoice in his gain the same.
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead mean naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

He got me to Florida when I was starting out. :<
He was a stand-up guy I was a loyal subscriber to his paper., he got undue stick/trolling from Emerick and friends. I accepted his citizenship request to eIreland when he asked for it.
eR.I.P Chris
Being a dad is a whole new world.
Enjoy your sleep whilst you can!
o7 Chris.
dude, you're like 13 days late
@ O'Darth McVader
Dude, I just talked to him today. He hasn't been deleted yet.
Dude, same difference. You're still late.
So he is leavin the game? not dying...
Eh, I'll miss him; Eamerica always needs a middle ground level headed guy best wishes i nrl.
He is dying the the game...
Hats off to you Chris. You were a good friend.
Even though Longbaugh is late, it doesn't matter. Christ Stanwick deserves it. The best secret policeman in the eWorld.
RIP Chris
You really were a great friend and I wish you all the best luck.
Good article Longbaugh
chris was pretty cool from what I know of him from his short period in eIreland. 0/
I don't really see how I was late. He might have announced it to his 1,927 shoutbox friends thirteen days ago but he's only recently been doling out his possessions and savings.
To those of us that knew him beyond the articles and shouts he's still around and I waited until right before the end to write this article. He could very well be gone by the time this article is retired from the top 20.
Thanks for the update Long, and farewell Chris. Liked working with you here and there. <O Best wishes on being a parent, its a long haul but well worth it. You will never love someone or something so much in life than your child.
Farwell Chris. You made the game interesting and I enjoyed our time.
o7 so long Stanwick. I referred people to you during the war.
He was a lot like HR: overly and unapologetically ambitious. In this social game, unless you're cool like me, you have to make good allies before you can get anywhere, and frankly, I didn't trust him. He published a treaty that we were working on to a party that he wanted to run him for president for no apparent reason, and it had nothing to do with transparency. The dude didn't care about anything except for acquiring power by any means necessary.
Anyways, have fun irl Chris.
@ gagah
The United States is absolutely riddled with people looking to acquire power by any means necessary. It's the only way to survive in that Darwinian government.
