If you want to move on, must get used to the goodbyes
Alexandre Walen
Hello,
I don’t have idea where to start, I was never good with goodbyes, say goodbye to people who made my most fun days is not easy. But found myself needing to say goodbye to Switzerland and all my companions, abandoning everything I fought for the few years that I have lived in this country.
I've always been in love with Switzerland, and it was this country that I chose to become a citizen. I tried to take all opportunities that came to me to help Switzerland, at least what I could do. But the scenario of the country has changed dramatically in recent months. I was happy when I saw the Swiss flag in a battle, there were fun wars, different countries, different experiences, but today is sad. I am ashamed when I see what is under our flag, a society that does not seek the best for ourselves, but obey the orders of a boss, regardless of whether it's wrong or not. It was with these leaders whose behind them a certain group of people that I had problems, I don’t assume governmental positions to please a group of people, my decisions were taken considering the country, thinking of a better nation. Unfortunately I pissed off one of these bosses when I decided to release the country instead of waiting for a treaty that has already been broken. I ended up being threatened, and since we are a small country where a group of people retains great power in his hands, everything ran out of control. Unnecessary quarrels arose and what had been built in a small time started to collapsing again.
Another reason that led me to this is the mechanics of the game (I am leaving the game too), which was definitely what my conscience weighed more. Unfortunately eRepublik is spinning around just the military module, up to half of this year I still had a Training Ground in level 2 and it made me weak and an useless soldier in the game and as mentioned above, the game is focused on militarism and I had difficulty getting my own money. I am very grateful to a friend, very special. He sent me financial support during the past months, it is thanks to him that I had enough to get most of the money in which I led military victories. But I felt uncomfortable seeing me in his dependence, and end up hurting him since I do not helped him getting his money.
Switzerland, I wish every citizen of this country a successful career in the game, each of you are building, together, the country's future. Never kneel down to the enemy, however strong it may be, there is always a way out, just effort, trust and responsibility. In recent months we prove that it is not impossible and that regardless of our state, of our problems, we are a country and a victorious country is a united country who believes on their people.
I apologize if I insulted anyone, but sometimes it's necessary. I do not regret anything I said or did, I tried to help as best as possible and I believe that in this country there are great talents to be discovered, which can guide us to a better future.
I'll be going for two more days in eRepublik to answer some messages and if someone want to keep in touch with me, I have other means of communication.
It was an honor to serve Switzerland,
Alexandre Walen.

Goodbye o7
I'm very, very sad to see you leave Switzerland. You have become a good friend and you will continue to be my friend.
I want to remind the Swiss people that it is because of you that we gained a region in Alberta, Canada so that we could have a congress for the first time in 8 months.
I want to remind the Swiss people that during your term we freed 2 of our own regions... and that was before this determination BS.
You have worked tirelessly for Switzerland and you have accomplished a GREAT deal. We are all diminished by your leaving.
Enjoy whatever you do next. Enjoy real life.
Hugs
kimi... this article is old......... what's up?

Goodbye and good luck o7
No need to add anything, Rican already said most of what needs saying, I just want to wish you a good RL. And sometimes come to visit us on IRC 😛
Goodbye Alexandre o7
Well good luck, and have lots of fun in RL. Wish you all the best. Great guy.

Best eSwiss CP EVER!!!!
o7
all the best 🙂
Since you're leaving anyhow, why not reveal the group of people you are speaking about? I'm asking because for a reason I feel like I belong there (since you deleted me from friends, didn't seem to want to discuss with me anything) at the same time I feel I am not in that group (since I only wish the best for Switzerland and I haven't been in no position of power). Also the curiosity in me wants to just know who the group is. Please do tell...it cannot hurt you since you're leaving.
Those things to the side, it's always sad to lose a fellow eRep player. It's one thing when someone just moves to another country, but it's another when someone quits altogether. So anyhow it's a shame that you're leaving all the way...I feel like we had a lot of miscommunication and misunderstanding going on.

Honorable and victorious thought.

I know exactly who the "boss" is. If you had made an effort to know how I play the game you would know that I am no one's "boss". The only time I ran anything was last month. I did take charge and lead. Unfortunately one didn't like leadership and walked off. Everyone else did as I asked and, while we didn't get a lot done, everything was handled properly and in order. Whether you agreed with the proposed NAP or not isn't the point, that was why I was elected, it was my only agenda and it failed (with a little help).
I'm sorry you're leaving Walen, You're a good guy that got emotional playing a game. That happens, it's not wrong or bad, just a shame. If you had stayed you can have your Switzerland, I'm not fond of dysfunctional families. 🙂 Anyhow, enjoy RL and pay attention to your education. Those two things are the best advice anyone could give someone who is younger. gl
Being a semi-young ninja, I can honestly say education+experiences are what make this merry-go-round rotate. People tend to forget the latter in these hectic and over simplified times.
this is even more defensive than the article above while still staying true to your holier-than-thou attitude which many would and did agree voids the "handled properly and in order" you claimed and just leaves you with "we didn't get a lot done." Congratulations
Thanks for even trying to pop shit (the same old shit, might I add) on someone's farewell article. Really holy, proper and in order behavior from you.
age trumps beauty
Yes, that's me. Holier than thou pickle.
WTF are you even talking about? You are as clear as mud. I am admitting, so that it is plain to everyone, that I am the "boss" that Walen refers to. I am simply stating that the majority elected me in November to do one job and one job only, negotiate with Slove. I did that. Congress shot me down. I faked a blow up to get people stirred up. After they were sufficiently stirred I let Trogdor take over negotiations as he proved to be stepping up to his potential and I knew he had the guts and good intentions necessary to see it through. He finished the job that I could not. Finally, in a desperate act, parties in both countries that could not abide peace blew the NAP outta the water.
What part of that was not handled properly and in order? I was elected by the majority vote. I stuck to what I promised to do. I used every bit of strategy available to succeed and was foiled by children that only want to be selfish.
If you really don't like me just say so. This is a GAME, I do not care if you don't like the way I play. You do not know my personal life so there is no way in hell you can make judgment on that. Unless you are egotistical enough to believe you are god or something like that.
you'll be back
I wish you luck in RL Walen!!
BTW, IMO you did well during your term as CP (minus the twerp you appointed to MOD) and you worked hard for eSwiss! Great job!
If by chance I am part of this 'certain group of people' then fret not, I typically do not get 'pissed off' and furthermore I will be leaving eSwiss soon enough. Sadly, it is starting to smell like cat sh$t in this sandbox if you know what I mean!
GL brother!
Sorry but you're wrong about my term as MoD, tbh he knows what I did and apologised at the end of his term. My age doesn't matter in this game why should I worry about that, stop whining like I did.
Today was bday, I'm 12 now so continue to complain I will just ignore all of your lame hate.
Comment deleted
I really do hope that you've taken whining into deeper consideration as you said. It was getting stagnantly awful. I really hope you're doing better 🙂
Way to ignore it by writing a response kimi lol
Happy Birthday Kimi!
we will miss you!!
Good luck!
Ciao
o7 Salute to you o7
