Connell Quits

Day 1,415, 15:23 • Published in Ireland Ireland • by King Connell

As I sit here with a tear in my eye, I do wonder what kind of tears they are.



I look at my life so far and all I can think is what an utter disappointment it has been. I feel embarrassed saying this sometimes, because I know it sounds silly, but I had always fully and genuinely expected to be a self-made millionaire by now... I guess in respects to business, I’m a pretty confident guy, while at the same time I can acknowledge that I may also be a bit of a dreamer! 😃



eRepublik can be a b*tch for time, I’ve learned a lot from this game, but I’ve come to a point where the learning has stopped and it’s simply become another reason why I’m not being as successful in life as I know I could be. It’s become a time warp which hasn’t given me anything of much value in return for a long time.



eIreland has taught me a lot about people & politics, but now the game for me has become utterly stagnant and all I’ve done for the past 6 months or so has been literally just mess about on the IRC. eIreland at the moment has an “active” population of about 150, to me that’s a pretty pathetic number, it’s not just small, the game is tiny, it’s completely insignificant and underwhelming.

It’s not just the number, it’s the whole nature of politics in this game too, it’s all the BS. Personally I’ve had all the BS I can take and I’ve got things to do in RL, like everybody does that are unequivocally more important than anything anyone could ever hope to achieve in this game.



I have around 20+ unfinished and unpublished articles all about everything I’ve learned and my “eLife”, I don’t know if any of those will ever be published at the moment I’m thinking no, but even just for my own documentation I might publish a couple.

I know many people who play this game very well and here I go with a Connell special.
If you don’t know me, I’m a pretty solid guy, who values nothing more than my own honesty and integrity. I’m just going to go through my friends list and anyone who’s still alive in game I’ll leave a wee sentence for them. If you’re not on the list, please don’t feel bad, you have to understand that as part of my past “job” at trying to be elected and get other people elected I’ve probably sent everyone in eIreland a pm around 20 times at this point xD



I’m not going to cause any much of a kind of scandal, but this is how I just see it. Adíos amigos

Roll Call;

John Snuggles - You’re a p cool guy Snugg’s, but you have spent RL money on this shiz and that’s not cool at all. It would be a good idea if you were to Quit
Dic Penderyn - I’ve thoroughly enjoyed knowing you in some respects, whatever that was, I’m not sure. But you’re my favorite honorary Irishman. Just got to wonder who you’ll be cheering for over this weekend. Ireland are probably going to win though 😃
Nephworks - The work you did at the time of the beginning of the Irish Army brought Ireland into an era where it now can never return to it’s old failings.
Marcus Suridius - LOL, take it handy on the ol’ gear man. You make me physically sick, you’re such a disgusting human being. I’d be glad that you’re now largely absent from the game only that it’s due to you being in rehab again. (he’s not really a drug addict, that’s a joke)
Padraig - You make me physically sick (that wasn’t a joke). Being super srs for a minute, you’re a pretty cool guy, but need to stop being so god damned fat.
Snake - What a lovely fellow, not spiteful or English at all
Nithraldur - I don’t think I have to say much, because you’re pretty much out of eIreland now. I think the best way to sum it up, is a classic old eIreland politician.
Kavrocks - “You must not listen to people whose main goal is to create conflict between people.” <<< That’s Kavrocks’ “About me” on his profile. Needless to to say, I lolled in RL. You’re utterly confusing to me and I’m not sure if you’re aware, but more people “in the know” think that you’re the person who robbed eIreland blind on several occasions. I had to lol when you sent me a message looking for freebies that time I was giving out free food and weapons, considering you’re one of the richest players in eIreland. You are mad, I hope you don’t believe any of your own shiz
Bockson - If I were you I’d try not to care so much about ridiculous shiz. I think wool has been pulled over your eyes by a few individuals and you hate too much. I don’t know if you’ll ever see through the wool, but you should at least try.
Bryan O’Shea - Poems? k bro, you keep it cool there 😨
Amal3k - I don’t know who you are, but you know me... That makes me uncomfortable, maybe give me a shout next time you see me 😉
Paschoall - Seriously? There are a lot of very bitter people in eRepublik and I know what happened to you(I still have the logs), but all the same you really turned out to be pretty damn nasty. The things you said to me were totally out of line and uncalled for. This is a game, but we’re all real people. Some people would do well to remember that.,
Eric Last - doob?
Gráinne - I’m glad the actual one on one contact with you has been minimal, personally I think the only reason why people put up with your shiz is because you apparently have boobies. I can appreciate that people like that, that’s k.
SeanLynch - Don’t mind Conway he’s an a-hole 😛
Conway - Leave SeanLynch alone 😛 Also, as if you don’t have a big enough head as it is, you’re a highly intelligent individual, but you’ve still got a lot to learn. Always saw you as a kind of apprentice tbh. o7

NEARLY THERE


SeaTea - You’re a pretty cool guy, Imma miss the IRC with all the family ;_;
Castaneda - Oh man... Really... Gosh... What to say... I’ve purposely made a point of not commenting on the things you say, because you are one grieving so and so. I mean bloody hell, have a kit kat. This is not a good thing btw, you seem to have no problem calling people terrible things and making completely untrue accusations. Personally I couldn’t stomach that shiz, it’s just not right. Any contribution to eIreland you have made has been a negative one, some people take personal grudges way too far.
Kolshire - However impartial you might claim to be, you’re impartiality has clearly since passed and all you’re left with imo is mad political mess.
John Gormley - Commenting on articles is not active
Anthony Colby/Ariosvistus - People will be suprised by this, but seriously AC, you’re a snake in the grass. Believe it or not, it is a fact. Highly political and holding as many grudges as any of the other politicos. There’s a reason why the Fenian Brotherhood forum was deleted a day I & Seanan got access.
Slow Joe Hitman - Ah Joe, aren’t you looking lovely there with the blue bow in your hair, all dolled up for your night out on the town. Ah Joe, all the best with Uni & life o7
Nogin the Nog - Really seriously did not expect that madness that occurred when I ran for CP, I know Donovan Thomas kind of took matters into his own hands when he started making wild baseless accusations, but the manner in which you backed him up was really shocking imo. What happened on the irc a few months later talking about when I left the game, that made me sick to the stomach and the same goes for you really, try remember that this is a game, but we are all real people, most with real lives and real emotions. I figured that everyone should have a limit in how low they can go to try get one up on their adversary, but I haven’t seen your limit yet.
Orangejuicemmm - Smarten up kiddo, you should listen a bit more attentively to your elders. Some of the shiz you’re at at the moment is plain stupid and ignorant, I know you’re a good guy, but you just haven’t realised what an a-hole you’re being right now. I used to be like that when I was your age too, if you’re not going to listen to me, well I can’t help you any more unfortunately. Any computer issues give me a shout.
Brian Boru - Man seriously, every time I think of you I automatically facepalm. Politics is a good business for you.
MooMooHead - You’re really bad at being a politician, your far better at actually doing shiz. Your flaws are well documented in respects to how your own grudge against Ibhoy and strong headedness got eIreland wiped the first time... There’s no point in trying to fight Ibhoy because you’ll never win.
Seanan - Ah Seanan, whatever you get out of this game, I’m not sure but even if you think you’re getting something out of it I’d still quit. There are far greater things to live for. Send me an email now and again. I respect you probably more than any other person in this game. Your humility, honour & work ethic are unmatched. I really wish you all the best in life o7
Daghdha - Along with many others, Stealth Politician
Patrick O’Leary - Don’t let the guys take advantage of you 😃
Chew - Trigger happy, watch it
Pete sake - Gonna miss you brah
Francois Pignon - Disgusting 😃
Sw33t - Well whether or not you get elected, I’d still quit, if I were you
Chance Harrison - You care too much about this, but if you’re going to carry on you’ve got to respect eIreland’s history too.
Christine Lawton - asl?
Yddub - All ye should just quit
Irasian - I’m glad I “selected” you for CP that time 😛 xD
Ibhoy - Quit, you have a lot more than most people to live for and I truly believe you could become thoroughly successful at so many things. You're a special person with some special talents and your logic knows no bounds. Why you're still playing this game is beyond me, you should quit.
Sean Power - At times it’s clear you’ve still got grudges at other times you can be utterly confusing and convince me otherwise
Mike Bane - Becoming CP just means that you are one of a couple of people who put enough effort into running initially and then got more people who don’t know who the heck they’re voting for or what they’re doing to click your name instead of the others. Getting a CP medal doesn’t mean shiz. Right now you’re just a politician, do something relevant.
Coleman - You need to grab Eire Aonair by the balls, with Eire Aontaithe yes we offered a place where anyone from any political idealogy could join, but we were primarily a guiding force. In Eire Aonair it seems as though anyone with any opinion no matter how far fetched and with out base it has can voice it without repeal. Personally if Kurgan or SHM were in Eire Aontaithe I would have taken them aside and told them what’s what. Secondly I don’t think they would have ever turned out that way anyway, because they’ve only got to that point through a lack of guidance/brains. So maybe that’s something to work on, grab Eire Aonair by the balls 😛
I think what you’ve done so far is very commendable and I you’re one of my favorite Eire Aontaithe sons, I’m proud to have had you in that party.



Lastly I’ve left out a few people from the ICA, you’re all my bro’s. Also Eire Aontaithe, you’re nearly all dead now, but thanks for everything.

Finally, it’s 4 days from my second e-Birthday & this day last year was the day I was elected CP...


No matter who gets elected, if eIreland has a successful term you know that Seanan & the ICA have played a part. I’d still vote for sw33t though, he seems to want it.


This is the end of the road for me and eRepublik, I'm glad I'm taking my leave now & I hope you quit soon too...




All the best with everything,
Connell o7
