This is one of those movies, those they say you have to watch until you die. A reference one. Something like the 100 things to do until you die, or something like the 200 places you have to see in life. It’s an old movie, but awarded one, Best Director Steven Spielberg, Best Cinematography Janusz Kaminski, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, Best Effects, Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role Tom Hanks, Best Writing, Best Art Direction, Best Makeup, Best Music, also won Golden globe, BAFTA and several others.
So I presume in vast majority you've already seen it.
For those who didn’t, I will only say that it’s about life and death, about honor in battle, about surviving and solidarity, about friendship and respect. You have to watch it.
I brought it to you because seemed appropriate for the last featured movie.

Most than ever we are in war now, cold yet, but it will get hot very soon. World is shifting, map is more than overrated now, hopes are fading, hopes are rising, friendships in peril.
I remember when EDEN died, one of our players getting us out of it just because he had majority in congress, I remember the anger and the feeling of being helpless, I remember crying when I left for the last time #Eden.forces.
I remember our friends despising us instead of standing by us, I remember.
I guess I’m not able to master the art of losing, I’m just a dino as we so often label old players with incapacity to fully adapt to new features of Plato’s game. It was ours too, not anymore, is entirely his now.
We have left the illusion of making new alliances, although he is mighty and keep a hand above this too. I am looking behind and thinking of what I have to lose again, I don't find the drive and strength to go on. Why bother if all you stand for is going down the drain?

So, for the last time, I offer you some real quotes from a movie, adapted on last events.
I wish you look at it with humor, judge it with wisdom and maybe take some actions with your heart if you still can find it between so many eRepublik new features.

Captain Miller aka Poland to Greece: Well, in that case... I'd say, "This is an excellent mission, sir, with an extremely valuable objective, sir, worthy of my best efforts, sir.

Private Jackson aka Argentina to Mithrantir: Well, from my way of thinking, sir, this entire mission is a serious misallocation of valuable military resources.

Private Reiben aka Serbia : I got a bad feeling about this one.
Captain Miller aka Romania: When was the last time you felt good about anything?
Captain Miller aka Romania: Your brothers were killed in combat.
Private Ryan aka Serbia: Which - Which ones?
Captain Mille aka Romania: All of them.

Private Jackson aka N4zGuL: Well, it seems to me, sir, that God gave me a special gift, made me a fine instrument of warfare.

Sergeant Horvath aka Serbia to Hungary: Captain, if your mother saw you do that, she'd be very upset.
Captain Miller aka Hungary to Serbia: I thought you were my mother.

Steamboat Willie aka Spain: Please, I like America! Fancy schmancy! What a cinch! Go fly a kite! Cat got your tongue! Hill of beans! Betty Boop, what a dish. Betty Grable, nice games.

Private Reiben aka Romania to Greece: You wanna explain the math of this to me? I mean, where's the sense of riskin' the lives of the eight of us to save one guy?

Private Reiben aka Poland to UK: What's the saying? "If God's on our side, who the hell could be on theirs?"
Upham aka UK: "If God is for us, who could be against us?"
Private Reiben aka Poland: Yeah, what'd I say?

Sergeant Horvath aka Hungary about Hupakolas: This time the mission is the man.

Sergeant Horvath aka Hungary to Hupakolas: You don't know when to shut up; you don't know HOW to shut up!

Private Ryan aka Bulgaria: Uh sir? Where am I to be during all this?
Captain Miller aka Fyrom: No more than two feet away from me. And that's not negotiable.

Captain Miller aka Romania about Serbia: He better be worth it. He better go home and cure a disease, or invent a longer-lasting light bulb.

Mellish aka Spain to Poland: I'm just saying, this seems like an unnecessary risk considering our objective, sir.
Captain Miller aka Poland: Our objective is to win the war.


Private Reiben aka me: Even if you think the mission's FUBAR, sir?
Captain Miller aka admin: *Especially* if you think the mission's FUBAR.
Upham aka me: What's FUBAR?
Mellish aka moderator: Oh, it's German.
[he chuckles derisively]
Mellish aka moderator: Yeah.
Upham aka me: Never heard of that.
Lieutenant Dewindt aka another moderator: FUBAR.
Private Reiben aka me: FUBAR.
Sergeant Horvath aka another admin: FUBAR.
Captain Miller aka admin: FUBAR
Corporal Upham aka me : I looked up "fubar" in the German dictionary and there's no fubar in here.
Private Jackson aka Plato: Y'all got that right.
