You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it.

Day 2,122, 20:20 • Published in Canada Canada • by The.Puppeteer

I have finally succumb to the lure of writing another Erep article. It has been over 100 days since my last, and now I feel out of my element. However, much like a drug addict relapsing, some things still feel the same. I figure I should reintroduce myself seeing that I went through a makeover and dropped a few pounds since we last spoke. Most of you will remember me as Uncle Buck. Now, Freddie Effin Mercury.



Why the change?

Simple. I was bored. It was either write Playtoe a lengthy essay on player retention, or two-click until I felt the urge to step out of the abyss and enrage engage "you people" again.

Oh, and the whole name change thing. Right. That was due to a wicked night at karaoke where I had the liquid courage to sing "Don't stop me now". I seemed to impress the people I went with, but pissed off the bartender when I stood on my bar stool to take a bow.



What now?

To be blunt, fuc**d if I know. I was still in limbo when Klop made the deal with Spain. I did happen to catch wind that Sir DMV was planning a run for El Presidente in the north. Something I said he should have did when Homer got us congress back during his tenure. I know there is some talk going around about DMV being some PTO and blah blah blah, it's all hogwash. The guy is legit and was the first 'Murikan to step up while Spain was making us their personal piñata. That said, if we see anything less than perfect from him I say we lynch the bastard. No pressure though, bro.

That actually brings another point to mind. Bare with me, this is more of a ramble than some editorial. Then again, I don't think I ever wrote anything whilst being Buck that I would consider informative. I just rambled my ramble. Maybe I'll just ramble on. *IF you don't get that reference, find the nearest wall and run full speed into it. If there is no blood the first time, repeat step one.*



Picking the lesser of two evils

I figure I might as well address this now before my fan club jumps down my throat about it. No, I did not leave Canada because Oinyo was CP. I left before the vote, I believe June 1st? or was it July 1st? doesn't matter, but I was asked to help against RGR. Albeit, I would be lying if I didn't say Oinyo being President was a good enough incentive. So I weighed the options, and figured RGR was more of a threat to the community than Catman.

On that topic, I did actively recruit Canadians out of Canada. BUT I did not force anyone to leave. That's impossible. For one, if I had that great of an influence I would be known as God-King-Boss-Cheif-Master Freddie, you get the point. Just because I left the US application out, doesn't mean you had to fill it out. If I left a loaded gun on the table, would you pick it up and start using it?



More Ramble

Apparently 100 days without writing has turned me into a chatter box (typer box?), so I will make this next part short and sweet. I would like to increase my writing activity in the coming month(s) so if you do have shit ideas for me to write about, feel free to throw them at me. Doesn't have to be Erep related, actually I would prefer it to not be.

TL😉R - I'm back-ish from hiatus.

Cheers,

Buck Freddie


FYI - Just learned that you can pick and choose when you want your rewards to start for that competition nonsense Playtoe is running again. If you already knew that, pretend you didn't.
