Resignation and Retirement

Day 820, 19:52 • Published in United Kingdom

• by GLaDOS

Hello, citizens of the United Kingdom and the world,

Today, I spent 7 or 8 hours straight on my computer, preparing a peace treaty and dealing with the fallout from it. I have realized that It is not healthy for any person to spend this much time on a video game. I also found just how emotionally involved I am in this game, which is also rather unhealthy for a normal person. As I write this, I find no real reason to play erepublik, and find myself in a state of being burnt out. As such, I find myself unable to properly uphold my position as MoFA of the UK, and hereby tender my resignation. I will also be leaving the country for my native pakistan, where I will not even two click, and will leave my last legacy within the game, the next book of dio.

I would thank people, but in my year and a half in this game, there are too many people to thank. So, to my countless enemies and numerous friends, thank you for making this curious virtual world called erepublik such a fun and exciting place.

keep fighting the headless chickens and carry on the good fight.

We all get burned out. You've been a great player - I' hope you'll reconsider.

Please get some much-deserved rest and consider returning to the game. You make it more fun for us all. In the meantime, best of luck.

Konrad Neumann Day 820, 19:59

GlaDOS FTW.

NIKrumov Day 820, 20:03

I will miss you🙂 You are one of the best around here.

Best of luck, Glados!

Renton McPerea Day 820, 20:04

So, all of sudden you realised you were playing 6 hours a day and you were too committed to the game and decided to quit?

I honestly think there were a serious miscalculation to the public reaction.

Good luck in real Pakistan, anyway

orangejuicemmm Day 820, 20:04

ohh shiz, Didn't see that one coming, well goodbye.

Strahinjic Banovan Day 820, 20:04

Arthk Day 820, 20:05

you'll return, I'm quite sure of it.

Have a nice trip to RL tho \o

holbs Day 820, 20:05

You gave your all for the euk GLaDOS, we will look back on this day and see it as a great move for the euk, and the rest of our allies, rather than losing London eventually, we keep our fair isle and live to fight for another 820 days. The ultimate sacrifice!

logan Dunleavy Day 820, 20:06

I'm making a not here huge success...

(make the song in the comments as a tribute people!)

Drake Abbadon Day 820, 20:09

Thank you, come again.

Best of luck.

Djordje Milosevic Day 820, 20:14

good luck!

Bass Junkie Day 820, 20:16

We may be on separate sides of the fight, but you have my support. I know exactly how mentally draining this game can be, and it is good that you have recognised you need to step back. Always put priority on your real life. 🙂

Woxan Day 820, 20:17

;-;

I feel partially responsible. Best of luck.

Ivan Sirko Day 820, 20:17

Good luck, mr. President 🙂

May Dio guide your way through the Punjab Desert.

JeepAmerica Day 820, 20:36

BUT YOU CALLED ME A CHILD?! 🙁

novembre Day 820, 20:38

Another one bites the dust 🙂 Some day , in some other game when you grow up, you will learn how to balance real life and playtime and more important how to control your emotions (some people call it nerdrage). Until then you won't realize that you just trolled yourself out.

P.S.
CAKE IS A LIE !

Al Dente Day 820, 20:42

Don't be a fgt. My only hope is that this turns out like the last time you got sick of office and went to Pakistan. Don't leave us...

Collin Roche Day 820, 20:42

ligtreb Day 820, 20:43

Best of luck to you in your adventures outside of eRepublik.

But c'mon, you really expect me to believe a super-active player like yourself can actually quit this game? If you do, it will be better for your sanity, but I doubt it. Those of us who spend all day here are crazy.

Iliaco Day 820, 20:46

It happens to all of us, just don't let your citizen dies: time is powerfull as dio and things always change just like everything remains equal.

😉

Chau.

Menassah Day 820, 20:53

bai bai GL in RL.. it really is a better place to spend your time

Vincent Garibaldi Day 820, 20:55

I shed manly tears for you GlaDOS. T_T

Come back

Mr. Apocalypse Day 820, 21:00

Wait...

WHAT?

Donovan Thomas Day 820, 21:05

NO! I LOVE YOU!

Edana Savage Day 820, 21:09

Aye, Glados. You were fun to play with. 🙂 I completely empathize with you on the burnout and spending too much time on here. You will be missed. *hugs*

Fitisin Day 820, 21:18

You can't leave...all the plants would die!
