Time to say Goodbye! - Finally, the dumbass is leaving \o/

Day 1,297, 15:39 Published in Germany Germany by Iseutz

Hi,

the headline tells it all. The following article will have two parts. In the upper half i spread greetings, in the lower i will simply put a copy of my ticket for account deletion. As usual, the damn article has grown into another wall of text. Why can't i write short articles, why?! -.- 😉

*Damnit! I forgot to add my current favorite song: Kill your heros



I joined this game on 1st of august in 2009. So now i'm nearly two years around. If you check my shiny medals, you will see that i was quite bustling. And i had fun, even without spending a single buck. What also is very obvious, because of the blatant lack of slaughter-unarmed-civilians a.k.a. battle hero medals.

Most of the time i was part of a government either in eGermany or in eIndia. In the latter i even became two times in a row CP, and i'm proud of it. Other gov activities were as minister of interior, media, defense and some kind of covert ops. Btw, the covert ops thingy does not include my one-man silent, but non-hostile take over of eIndia. This was my personal venture. I founded a civilian sabotage group during the early 2010s occupation by poland and from this organization the first and still lasting militia of eGermany emerged, called Flying Suicide Command (FSK in german). I tried to get the media mogul medal fair and square by quality articles, alas, i failed miserably. Not many want to read a wall of text, if the next knock-knock joke or butt-ugly polandball comic is around the corner. 😁

There are many many people i have 'met'. And i consider this as the one big positive aspect of eRepublik. Bringing people together who would never ever be in the same room, never talk with each other anywhere anytime in their whole lifetime. This is so fucking great, i can't describe how valuable this aspect is to me. Because even if the world is full of morons and assholes and makes me angry every day, it's also full of great, interesting, inspiring and amazing people. It helps to keep alive my silly dream about a truly united mankind. *cough* how pathetic *cough*

I know, i will hurt feelings, but i have to add a terribly incomplete list of people i had the honor to talk and play with:

-> from eGermany: The German Eagle, DukeNuk3m, Dr.Pain, Franz Sigel, HerrSchmidt, Meta, the whole bunch from FSK and ALL politically active players in eGermany. I always tried my best to push you over the edge and often enough with success *fg*
-> from eRomania: Mihail.Cazacu
-> from eIndia: DavidForde, Ashwamedh, maverick10DodgeKnight and EVERYONE else from eIndia 🙂
-> from eUSA: ColinLantrip, Alexander Hamilton and Chutley (the evil one)
-> from ePolan😛 Requel
-> from eCyprus: depici
-> from eFrance: Dhelk
-> from eCroatia: Jelen od Potoka
-> from ePakistan: pak_land, all the evil Dioists
Special thanks to all people, who don't like me. To have opponents spices the game up a lot. Unfortunately i never found one who i consider to be worthy. Maybe because all the really capable guys n gals quickly became my friends 😉 😛

I'm truly sorry that i can't remember all the names and give everyone the credit he or she deserves. Please, please don't be mad at me. If you want to keep our contact alive, you are most welcome to add me on youaretoolate. (Please mention in the request, that you are from eRepublik and how we know each other.)

Btw, my favorite countries are eCroatia, eRomania, eUSA and eIndia (for different reasons, obv). You rock, please never become such selfish countries like eSerbia, ePoland, eFrance or boring like eGermany!



Bit more background music for ya...

Now the less pleasant part. The text below will be my ticket, when i ask to delete this account in a few days. I just take some time to say goodbye personally to some guys. The text has of course a critical tone, but i'm not interested to play martyr or ask you to leave the game too. If you enjoy the game, stay and have fun.

Unfortunately i don't have this feeling anymore so i do the one step that truly counts. I'm not call for a 'boycott'. I'm not calling names. I'm not 'demanding' changes. I'm leaving.



dear admins, dear support-team,

i will not blame you for making money with the game, but i will not support you any further by playing it. the contemptuous way how you treat your users has come to an extent, i can not accept.

and i will not wait until you remove strength and markets too, because you want to simplify this game even more, all in the name of a 'better gaming experience'. as if simplification means anything without a wide range of possible activties. as the time went by erep has become like a chess game with very limited rules and only pawns (especially non-paying users, the scum of the eworlds) and a few queens ('diamond customers'...) left on the board.

i really think there are some smart ppl in the eRep headquarter and the aspect of creating a worldwide gaming platform is still simply amazing. but everything is only about monetarization and thats not enough to provide an entertaining game. you obviously don't care much about balancing, fairness or decent behaviour. especially the last thing weighs heavy, because on the one hand you always demand it from the community, on the other hand you seem to think, if your customers behave like mentally challenged kids, you have the right do the same.

of course, the success a.k.a. pure profit may provide you arguments to continue on this path. in my eyes you throw away the one great aspect of this game mindlessly. but as i said, i will not blame you for running a business, although i regret my departure after nearly 2 years of continuous ingame activity. during my time here i always ignored how you boldly offend our intellect and sense for decency. but when you choked the media and forum completely to prevent criticism on you latest update (for example abt forcing an exodus in every already low populated country) it was the final straw.

so this is my goodbye. i wish you all the best
