Shadow Wins, Congrats...
•
by Konrad Neumann
Like I said two articles ago. eBE will be PTOed. It is evident regardless of who wins the CP, eBE will prey victim to a PTO. I am also not convinced that the community is really anti PTO. You hear that they are against the Croats/ Macedonian PTO. You hear them shout against PANDA's policies of open borders. In the end, it is a lot of talk but no one is really serious about it.
We have true heroes who worked hard and true for the interest of eBE. People like Mittekemuis, Nohjis, Critically, El1teMKD, Tecuvo, Elynea, and MaryamQ. They work hard and put their hearts into their efforts to improve eBE. It is indeed sad to see their efforts in vain.
The incompetence of the government and the community is boundless. I have zero confidence in this government who can waste time demanding on new military avatar but cannot for 11 days accept a free MPP with the eUS. I have no confidence with a gov that states he will support a wipe in secret and then goes and tell people to fight in the RW. Many in the community should be ashamed as well. Some fight this RW for medals instead of putting the country first. So a RW or BH medal is more important than the integrity of the community.
So in my opinion, eBE deserves to be PTOed. eBE deserve to fail for I think the government and many in the community is spineless. eBE like eNL will be a fail state. You will either be PTOed, appease Shadow and his stupid demands which he will ask more and more until there is no forum left. Or you will have both. eBE is PTOed by outsiders and from PANDA/ Shadow gang.
Like I said before, eBE is already lost. People who do not help themselves will fail. eBEers are either too selfish or too naive. In the end they are not united and they will fail. PANDA gets one thing right and that is their united effort to do what they want. They do not bla bla bla for months and then do nothing. While I disagree with them on the border issue, at least they act. That is more than many in eBE who claims they care but in the end, they do the talk and not the walk. While I think PANDA will destroy eBE, they deserve to oust many who are in power now for they act and are not lazy.
I am leaving eBE since I am not convinced that eBE is a place ideal for me. I gave but I got nothing in return. I cannot work with the deadwood in the community. Maybe I was naive and think eBE changed but it is evident that it did not. I endured countless homophobic attacks for the wellbeing of this community but in the end, few really cares. Well I really do not care anymore. You want to be bullied by Shadow and PANDA, that is your right. You want to be PTOed, that is your right. It is your right to run the government and set the future that you want: I have the right to walk away.
The harassment case will still remain so don't worry, the charges will NOT be dropped...
As to my predictions on eBE's future. There is no good ending. The best results is Elynea wins CP. At least she can put in skillful players in gov post and have direct access to CoT. Coryn is not ready and he really thinks he can tame PANDA and the PTOer. If Coryn wins CP, I will pity him. He will be on a thin tight rope. He will need to appease PANDA and their radicalism while addressing the concerns of moderates like HOPE (Tecuvo) The chance of his success is low especially his desire to put GW Junior as the MoF position. Coryn himself is inexperience and overall does not understand the game and its mechanics. Despite his intentions which seems sincere, he does not have the talent to address all of these issues. I think most people even of experience have the talent to address all of that.
In addition to the issues above, both candidates will have to face the Croat/ Macedonian PTO. Many are already in and the community is divided over the open boarder issue. Seeing the response of this current government and others in the community, they will not act anyways. The ATO movement have no unity nor leadership. Many will still see PANDA and Coryn as a threat. Even with Coryn's desire to make peace, I think he will not manage it in time. Time ran out as enemy agents are in the country. PANDA's policy made the political environment way too toxic to unite the overall community. Also many are not convince PANDA will join the struggle against the Croat/ Macedonian PTO.
Well, I guess Shadow one. He is indeed the biggest winner here. A RL Flemish nationalist who sides with "commie/ anarchist" to overthrow a democratically elected government. While they are certain the villains of this story, many in the community are enablers. So while it is easy to blame him which you could, there are many like Pieter are at fault. The time to wake up is already too late. All experience players know who he is and gave up on him. He can only prey on the innocent and ignorance of the new and young. He will do well in eBE but not in more established and bigger countries.
I suspect that at this point, you have PANDA people shouting names against me from traitor to other stuff. Well what else is new. I have deal with your abuse for months. You even sent a PM to make me feel unwelcomed. Your attempts to bully me out of the country really did not work. Your homophobic and other forms of abuse did not work. In the end I am leaving but because of your lame words but the lack of sincerity and spine of the community. I hope you enjoy your victory while you can for this is only the beginning. Your grasp of power will be limited if you cannot deal with the Croat/ Macedonian power.
Regardless, I really do love eBE. However I have no faith in a lot of people in here and I am sure they will say similar things. I really do not care. I will not open myself to more hurt and heartache to a community who does not care. I will not spend more energy to combat real threats and danger only to be undermined by some people who I am protecting since they want a medal or do not want to look bad in the public. I wish you best of luck for I think you will need it. But I know eBE is not my home and I am walking away. I will still comment on articles and visit the forums but I will not fight anymore...

I do not feel pity for you. I was down also many times but if I give up and leave it means that I have let them win. And you must understand that this game has no end line so we only fight for battles. The war will never be won by nobody as there is no end out there in the future. So, why not playing. Just playing and fighting for the current battle. You are right in many ways on many levels but when you give up and leave I can only say this : at least they play.
You did what you could, Konrad. I'm only sorry it wasn't appreciated.

And you are a llama. End of story.
Why don't you follow your great leader Konrad to the UK?
don't be jealous, you can be a llama too 🙂
You're a hypocrite. A big one.
"Hey, people, stop the name-calling, that hate is just silly and childish. You are mature adults, please behave as such."
Breaking your own words. Very, very mature (as you like to call it)
Ok, apparently you didn't get it, plus you started your answer with name-calling too...
This is meant to parody the name-calling people, there's nothing wrong at being a llama (unless you have a problem with llama's, that would be unexpected)
Also, may I advise you to get to know people better before you actually start judging them?
I have never seen you nor on IRC nor on forum, your hateful comments here are the first signs of life I have of you.
If you had known would it be just a little more you would have known that nobody here considers me as a Konrad-groupie or whatever you try to make of me.
I'm just defending his position because he was very badly treated and insulted and that nobody should be treated like that in the most welcoming country of eBelgium.
Calling someone a hypocrite is a fact because it's true. End of story.
"I have zero confidence in this government who can waste time demanding on new military avatar but cannot for 11 days accept a free MPP with the eUS."
Ehm what, where and when did I or anyone from the government ever asked for new avatar ?
You did, yesterday in the BNA avatar thread. It's in plain view, you know.
So, I guess I can't do anything else then to spent my time on a browsergame. That's ridiculous, I did things wrong I admitted it, but telling me non stop that I'm a failure goes too far. I already understood it, now it's just getting annoying to read in every article sth about my administration and how shit it is.
I got it, and I'm working on it, that's all I have to say to this.
Did I say you're a failure? I just pointed out the truth about your avatar request, which btw, is spending time on a browser game. It does seem to me, however, if you had time to do that, you had time in the last two weeks to do something about that MPP.
Do not take it to hard on your self MCKitkat. People will forget and soon we will only talk about how the heck we lost the country, treasury and honor. You gonna go in the last page of the news feed.
I'm sad you are leaving. It's not easy when we already have ptoers.
I made all i can against ambarche in PP elections, but the battle is inside the country, and it's sad.
Voted for the title.
I wrote a long wall of text but erep screwed me over a CFRS attack (or something like that) so f*ck it
Good riddance, and I hope your backstabbing traitor *ss gets what it wants in eUK. Say "hi" to Diakun for, you'll like him.
there are some times when I love eRep 😛
Don't worry I will still comment and make your time hell. But I do not have baggage holding me back.
So much hate, so... much... freaking... hate.
It will consume all and lure us to the dark side
I agree with you. There were coming PTOers from whole world to BE, because it is small and easy to be PTOed. We didnt have some strong CPs in row who could stop it and now I think is too late for fighting agains PTOer, because they are too numerous. There were too fights between RL Belgians which didnt respect gov and were letting PTOers in the country.
Konrad, hate to see you leave. Oh, and I'm running for CP too 🙂 I wouldn't call my plan appeasement, but rather giving every group enough rope to hang themselves if they so choose. After that, then we can move on. Open up the nation to a thorough and inclusive debate, and then legitimately call out those who choose not to participate. You may say its been done, but you may also know how good I am at calling people out on their shit. All's I's knows is that what you say is right. The path we're on will lead to a change in the power structure. If it has to be a negative change, well, I think there's still room for some consensus-building.
Hum.... Many exaggerations for me...
Hey, people, stop the name-calling, that hate is just silly and childish. You are mature adults, please behave as such.
Good luck in the eUK Konrad, let's hope that you find something that suits your expectations better than here.
As to me, giving up is surely not an option.
As Nihil.Sine.Deo sai😛
Keep on playing.
"You are mature adults"
lol
(btw adults hate in a more dangerous and often in an even more silly way than children, don't worry 😛 )
I don't hate, I "lulz". Hating another player shows caring for this game on such a profound level that you allow this game to affect your RL emotional condition. And that's just sad. I don't hate, I see this all as psychological Machiavellian mindgames. I know Konrad isn't capable of that, even tho he sees himself as the "great statesman" with his studies in international relations. (or whatever it is that he is/was studying) And should thus know Machi/greene/Locke/... by hearth.
That doesn't mean that I don't see it as a tactical advantage and grand victory that he left eBE.
Oh and konra😛 you're wrong btw. I'm not a RL Flemish nationalist. I've travelled to too many places on this on earth to believe in borders, races, religions or regions as a legit form of separation. On top of that, my RL job and the place where I work would make it extremely difficult to reconcile with Flemish nationalism as my ideal. I don't even work in Flanders! I am actually a very big pro-"United states of Europe" sympathizer. You can ask Jofroi and Procuste if you don't believe me. We've met IRL on occasions and I've had the pleasure of having several lovely talks with them.
Only shows how wrong you are on so many things.
Either way, you are free to bugger me and HOPE/PANDA in articles and on the forum all you want. Just as I am free to do so on the eUK forums. Did I ever tell you that I founded that forum back in Beta and have a 10k post count there?
[removed]
Yeah, even longer than Konrad's usual answers. (ôo)
You must respect the fact that some put of their person into it and have values that they hold dear, even if you disagree. Machiavellic persona or not, respect is something you must keep for this game to be funny for everybody. (and that's applicable to all of you)
Also, the harassment based on his sexual orientation clearly stepped over the limits of eRep's domain.
Shadows just plays this game to psychologically crunch other people's mind, as he always did.
He often says that he doesn't like people mixing gaming with real feelings... but he's the one confused : the thing he enjoys the most is when he feels that he brought down the real person behind the computer.
A poor player with a poor personality.
Too much text(even those who comment).
I read later...
As I already said - you will be missed! Hugs
Vote and support!
As I said elsewhere, why not a merge with eUK?
More resources, a nice forum, more fun. Such a merge has been a success in year 1 of eRepublik.
Whatever people decide, it is a game. Focus on fun and friendship, live long and prosper.
That wouldn't be such a bad idea. Can we include eNL? 😉
They would be welcome also I think. It would become the United Kingdoms. We could ask King Woldy.
You're a traitor.
And you are a multi/ PANDA spy...
Sure, whatever you want. What captain leaves his ship? You leave because you lost. Boohoo. Battle until the bloody end.
I think you are just pissed since you did not make it in to congress. RB does not trust you and that is pretty much it...
Oh yeah, i didn't sleep because of that. Maybe you are a spy/panda/whatever you called me, who knows 😉
Sorry but what do you know about this?
^precisely Yannis. I love how Konrad always accuses people without ever having proof.
Completely agree with the article
several answers are pathetics. Hey Shadow ! Do you have a heart ?
Several answers AND their writer are pathetic 😉 you are giving him too much honnor by asking the question...
I sometimes disagreed with you but i really am disappointed and sad to see you leaving the boat ! Hope you will come back later !
In my oppinion the best way is not leaving...this makes you complice...
