Resignation as Minister of Defence and Foreign Affairs [Johnny Cash Edition]

Hear the trumpets hear the pipers one hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
Its alpha and omegas kingdom come

The man Comes around – Johnny Cash (I’ve been waiting to use Johnny cash in articles, I’ll admit)

It is, oddly, without a trace of sadness or regret that I must inform the UK of my resignation of my post, effective immediately .

Over the past 50 or so days, I have worked tirelessly on keeping the UK afloat; in both a military and foreign affairs capacity. I have woken up at stupid times in the morning to help both us and our allies, and have spent literally countless hours toiling away on the minutiae of running the military, when the people who should be doing it have not shown up.

I have served under two Prime Ministers; both with the main failing of never being around. I have ended up doing pretty much near everything that a PM should do with regards to, well, nigh on everything. As far as the job goes, I have had enough of just doing everything for everyone, without any thanks, any recognition. By and large, the post of Minister of Defence and Foreign Affairs is a massively thankless job. The worst part was where Woldy got hailed for taking Norse Jelly land 10 or so days ago; he only attacked at the urging of myself and one or two others.

As a result of this I have what I can only term as a massive case of eRepublik burnout; logging on to co-ordinate everything day after day no longer becomes fun, as it was for most of the first month, and instead becomes a massive chore.

The time issue played no small part in this decision. While I have no intentions to leave eRepublik at the current time, I do have other things to do; I’m a second year uni student studying Neuroscience and Psychology. Contrary to popular belief, uni actually requires me to do some work; and the work is about to come rolling in.

The eUK; the future is bleak. I am of the opinion that the UK will never, ever, be a power in this game. Almost every single one of you doesn’t give a damm, and wont no matter what. I was of the opinion that the eUK needed to be invaded on home soil for anyone to care about it; but now I doubt even that would be enough to shock life into the corpse that is this country. I have tried my hardest, not for the country, but for my own glory, to get things moving along. No matter what, activity levels constantly fall, people just stop doing anything, and then wonder why we can’t do anything in the world stage. Wake up.

What next for me? God knows. If any country wants me, feel free to go ahead and make an offer. I think my ego, at least in game, has inflated to the point where I can make this statement without sounding like an arrogant moron in my own head. So yeah, if you want a most awesome dude in your country, just ask. At the moment, I’m just chilling, working for a pittance in my own company. I’ll keep writing my articles and stuff, so subscribe now.

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here
