It's been a while guys. Consider this my official retirement from politics, and return to the Federalist Party and writing silly articles.
😁. Depending on who you are, sorry/you're welcome. Enjoy~
In any case, welcome to the return of Goodbye Blue Monday, reporting on all the nonsense that's fit to print 24/7/365. If it aint newsworthy, we print it. Wait, that's not right...
Plato's attempts to Destroy Game Thwarted. Blames Stockholm Syndrome.
Day 2128: eRepublik HQ, Erebus
Plato looks on at eRepublik with thinly veiled disgust
In a scandalous new interview regarding the most recent changes to eRepublik, famous dweller of bridges, philosopher, and abomination, Plato, revealed that people were never meant to "play eRepublik so long". Stating that, as a human being, he would never willingly cause people to endure this, and that the continued existence of 'players' both "defies logic" and "worries [him] greatly".
When asked about why he started the dwindling browser game, Plato responded sincerely. Chuckling, he told us he "never expected it to go this far" and that "really our end-game was to be able to pay for a foosball table, but after that. God, we never expected people would stick around".
He continued "if you think we actually believe the changes we make to this game are supposed to make it better...." (Plato shakes his head for a moment) "You must think I'm really stupid".
"No, you guys are supposed to quit, christ, this game is literally just a money dump."
"What even is this shit" -Plato
"The only reason why any of you are still here I can think of is Stockholm Syndrome, I mean come on guys".
This intrepid reporter will have to concur with the diagnosis.
Plato also reportedly felt good "getting this off his chest" stating, "if this makes me look like the bad guy, okay, but at least its the first step towards tens of players getting the help they need."
Next week on Goodbye Blue Monday:
In other news, Goodbye Blue Monday has taken massive cuts in their graphics department. Also in their humor department.

Bet in NBA matches!
I love you.
Love this, he spends an entire article telling Americans how stupid they are for continuing to play; yet I don't see him nor the other 'Pfeifferist' leaving. Might it be because they don't play eRepublik in game anymore, but instead play a 'meta game' on the eUSA Forums hich they control; I mean after all this is the citizen who broke immigration laws by allowing the traitor Henry Pfeiffer Arundel to regain American citizenship without an IES from even being submitted for approval...
I never excluded myself from my attack. And ignoring the half truths of the rest of that statement, the fact that you deem it necessary to comment on a humor piece amuses me to no end.
Half truths...hmmm. You granted him citizenship even though he openly admitted that he would never fill out the IES form, yes? Granted it even before receiving approval from IES or no?
Both offenses worthy of censure and yet you were cleared of any wrongdoing while a second citizen was censured for the same offense, yes?
Paul actually did receive IES approval from Malarkey prior to the acceptance of Pfieffer's citizenship request. That is why the censure was dropped.
No IES form? Did a dial up modem pull a fax machine and eat it?
Voted for truth; we can only hope that from this time forward eAmericans will be measured for their own individual merits and not whom they happen to be friends with.
ProTip; Lunch-room politics in meta is one of the primary causes of rage quitting negatively impacting eUS retention.
I love you too.

Nice to see you back in media Paul - brilliant stuff, love it 🙂
The ATO piece had me giggling madly
For the record, it was the Feds he was apologizing to.
