Join the new world

Hello my friends.

This is the last time I will write an article, ever. This time I am positive, that I will not return. Why? Because I do not like eRepublik as it is at the moment. As it is my last article, I would like to sum up my eLife. If you do not know me, it probably is boring to read, or maybe not, but I would be really happy if you would vote this article up.

Birth of Sim Maatriks
I was born almost 500 days ago, on day 508, which was 3 days after eEstonia was added to the game. I saw an ad and registered my user. I wanted to put my name only „maatriks“, but for some unknown reason I needed second name also, Sim came from „The Sims“ or „Sim City“ etc, I thought this character is kinda similar to those games, I did not know what to expect from the New World.

Abroad and returning to eEstonia
During my first month I travelled to Romania (yes I did 😃), probably fought against PEACE, sorry for that. Then, before Congress elections in May, S33vald asked me to return (I honestly cannot remember how he found me) in order to have majority in eEstonian congress (there were lot of Hungarians back then). We were PTO-d by Hungary, they took all the gold, but thanks to great diplomacy, we managed to get almost all of it back. Since then we also have had good relationship with eHungary.

Man in the Congress
After returning I was twice elected to eEstonian Congress, I was ambassador to eIreland and eUK, I remember eUK-eIreland having fake war. Somehow I managed to get Congress-Speaker seat as well. Unfortunately cannot remember anything else from these times, but I believe it was the time when I became friends with rafale, one hungarian, who is most outstanding foreigner in eEstonian history.

Mayhem in eLatvia
Around that time Finland made pact with Russia to return Moscow oblast to eRussia, which was gaining strength very quickly. So, seeking for new high-grain, Finland decided to attack eLatvia. It was total hell, I remember Lazocracy guys fighting there, we (eEstonia) went almost all out to defend our brothers, but it was not enough, eLatvia was occupied. This was very important milestone in the history of eEstonia as well, this meant we were finally 100 pro-peace and anti-atlantis, though remaining neutral officially at this time. eEstonia was spared only because we had MPP with eHungary, Finland would have attacked us, and we did not forget this.

President of eEstonia
July 2009, Sim Maatriks and Thucar running for president. It was first time, that eEstonia had 2 reasonable candidates, Thucar won, but dissapeared right after that, so I was the president, but got no medal ?. I provided eEstonia with training wars and life was good, eEstonian community was united for the last time in the history, because in September Sir_Tonis2 teared it apart. I believe it was back then when we made peace with Finland, they came with some nonsense demands, I wanted unconditional peace and this is what I got.

21st century in eEstonia
From the beginning, eEstonia had had it’s forums on free host, url was http://eesti.forumotion.com. In august I finally decided enough is enough. We wanted to make backups, have decent styling, have full control over forums. So I decided to move our forums to new host, www.e-eesti.eu, where it is till today. Me and ErikSword were the main people behind the forums, ErikSword making the graphics, me dealing with everything else. Got it up and running, since then it has been down for 1 time, I will get you into that later.

Getting back to government
In the last days of october, estonian and Sir_Tonis2, 2 morons of eEstonia, came to me and some other influential people from eEstonia and talked about idea to let eLatvia pass to eFinland trough our regions. I agreed to this idea, but it was performed like shit, news got out really slowly. Shortly after that s33vald was elected as president and I was made Minister of Finance. As Minister of Finance I introduced MoF reports, which proved to be very useful.

First Estonian in unborn alliance
Somewhere during november Nameisis, president of Latvia, asked me to join #one-really-secret-channel (#channel in the future). There I was one of the very founders of an alliance that you all know today, Phoenix. I never told anyone in eEstonia, not even our CP, that I represented eEstonia there as it seemed good way to gain more power over eEstonians and meet new people around the globe. Making new alliance was new and fun experience for me, and I have stayed in the #channel until now. And EDEN, this is serious shit there, do not interrupt.

Puppet Master
During november – december I was accused a lot for number of things I did. I was the main person behind organizing second tunnel Riga-Helsinki, it was me who convinced s33vald, who was doubtful of it. Of course it launched massive shitwar in eEstonia against s33vald, I got away more or less clean from it.

In the december, I was once again Minister of Finance, this time Tulnukas as CP. First huge scandal was „Project 1“, which was just marked down as „150g“ in our budget to check if congress really works budget trough. After budget had been accepted, we announced that it was 75g for each of us (Tulnukas and me) and donated the gold. Obviously we were not going to keep it, the whole operation was done to wake up congress, we returned the money the same evening. Some of the congress members were so butthurt that they accused us of stealing money, what a bunch of morons, once again. They had done shitty job, not us, pfff.

Then, in the end of the term, Tulnukas was puppet master of me. I gave him over the MoF org after he told me he is going to take 1000g from it and save it for the investments in v2 (at that point v2 was supposed to come in a month or so). Little did I know how he wants to screw me over. He stole the money and left, came back and accused me of thievery. I was furious. This was also the time that eEstonian oldest chatroom #eesti, was abandoned as official channel and #e-eesti has been used ever since. I was „not trustable owner“ anymore. What a pile of shit.

In the background
In january, Holden-Sir_Tonis2-estonian trio came to power, they ruled for three painful months, almost ruined eEstonia. This was also the time when I started to hate EstMX, who repeatedly accused me of crimes I had not done (they did not know about the 640g thing). During these months I spammed more in the Phoenix #channel and did nothing. What a good time it was.
One important moment from that time: in march I got so frustrated that I took down whole eEstonian forums and had huge text „maatriks“ hanging there for a day or so. anettu, who has done most of the technical solutions in the forums, managed to get me to upload it again. I was never going to delete it forever, I even made backup before deleting it, but I would have uploaded it couple days later.

Building eEstonian Mobile Army
Then, as Albertti came into power and more money was given to army, I started to build up eEstonian Mobile Army. It was never significant damage-wize, it consisted of 30 people, usually ~10 were on a mission, ~10-20k damage, but it was 10-20k better than eEstonia had ever had. Great times.

Wasteland
During last month of Albertti’s 3 month reign, a lot of gold was spent. Most of the people in eEstonia blame Albertti for this, but in reality it is shared guilt for two of us, I agreed with all the spending and found tanks to tank our gold what eEstonia would desperately need at the moment. But boy was it fun. Money well spent.

The end
Here I am, almost 500 days after joining the game I have had enough. I have been most hated guy, most loved, most controversial eEstonian.
