[Nyx] Bye bye Canada!
Nyx Lynx
With a heavy heart I have to bid eCanada goodbye. It was kinda fun hanging out with some of my favorites and scuffling with a few players. The troll-worthy material was just too good to pass.
I have zero seriousness when it comes to the game tbh. I play for fun and I like a good game. I don’t compromise into playing something else. The ones that play for anything else are deluded.
When you let go of all delusions especially of grandeur, things become simpler, easier and clearer. You begin to see the amazing qualities you truly possess and also the flaws that you can work on.
You start caring less about what anyone else says about you because you are very aware of who you are.
I am glad eCanada is free from oppressors. Well done. I think that sometimes it is better to rid of a problem faster than to allow it to fester. Have a shot? Take it.
Content
Few of my readers (
❤u all) complained about the lack of content last time. I thought “brevity was the soul of wit” lol. Also I have long known that speaking any words of wisdom on erep is like casting pearls before the pig disgusting ;P
But I would honor the whims of my cherished readers and try to write more. Trust me, I do appreciate feedback if the intent behind it was genuine. I am very good at figuring that out.
Style
Dear puppy brainz, bolding is for readability and not necessarily only for emphasis. I proofread once and at the same time hit ctrl+B so that you or more importantly I, could just speed read by skimming over the contrasting text.
Sometimes I do miss an apostrophe or two whilst reading, but pedantic grammar Nahtzees are quite quick to correct me if I misread. Bless their heart.
Also my style is my style. It comes effortlessly, so I don’t mind having it. In fact, I rather prefer these odd quirks.
Fake modesty is not my strongest suit. Forgive me if I don’t make changes to appear like everyone else regardless of how logical you think it is. Bolding stays.
Criticism
I do have a self-deprecating sense of humor and am my worst critic. So chances are that I might have put myself down, laughed at it and learnt from it before anyone else. My critics should catch up with me. Erm you can try if you like… 10 paces ahead
😃
I am 100% accountable for my actions and mine alone. I have nothing to apologize for the way I have played the game so far. I know the lines. Victim players should get a grip.
Why move so much?
I am a nomad. I like to watch other players and their power structure (complexes). I want to pick a nation that has its interests similar to mine. My ambitions are generally a bit farsighted and I like some creative element of madness in this bland game. It gets boring to do same things.
Also if any setup wishes that I “work hard” in a game to climb up some mythical ladder which itself is shaky; that is not possible. Why would I do that when I can have fun and win at the same time in a different setup?
It is a pointless waste of time.
People
I am interested in people who “get it”.
Sometimes….
People are not lazy to work hard. People are lazy to think. People are apprehensive to be themselves and be expressive. I encourage people to express themselves but do it in your own way.
Some of them want us to think that they are highly interesting, but it is just a hackneyed confusion of everything unoriginal. Yes, even their rage and hatred is also copied. Meh.
Not having fun and not letting others to have fun is a sad affair. Working hard on that sad affair is twice as sad.
Whatever the game is, ultimately you pays your money and you takes your choice.
Anyway… Where am I going?
Kinki, eJapan lol to become a Samurai. Why? Cos I eCan : > Terrible joke. Also as DMV’s peon I should follow him heheh
Parting words
I understand I can be a d0uche to the d0uche. Yeah I also rarely have attachment to most things including power, people, place or popularity.
Why should I? It sounds ridiculous in a virtual game.
I am ok to be a hack, dog, peon, puppet, puppeteer, queen, empress, goddess, vampire, charming sociopath, intelligent psychopath, witch, dictator, devil, femme fatale, mata hari, leader, supporter… unprintable words…
oh these people and their labels lol would take a whole new article.
It is all your perception. I just have a naughty habit of reinforcing the image that people thrust on me.
eCanada has been better than other places I have seen so far. My graph indicates that I seem to be making progress.
I admire the fact that you managed to kick your enemies out. It was a bit skittish, but doesn’t matter. You deserve the adulation for telling your enemies to GTFO.
I perhaps have only good wishes for Canada on the whole. I would have stayed if I actually had any intentions of taking over. I usually never have those intentions because I just don’t have that much time. I am dying of a terrible disease.
Oh dang! that line is already taken by some dumbfck who recently sent me a message to vote for him lol tsk tsk
Anyway, I am very healthy and it was a pleasure meeting you all. Good luck to you for your elife and RL life.
I will be off to help build eJapan. Let us see how that goes. Might be fun.
I don’t want to be perfect. I just want to be Nyx Lynx.
After all, who in their right minds doesn’t? lol
Farewell,
Nyx

It is all your perception. I just have a naughty habit of reinforcing the image that people thrust on me.
😁 Reminds me of boggarts. Another addition to your titles? 😛
Gladly. oh I forgot to add other nyx names. I should add your Femme Satan as well lol
Votado
Too may words, can't make myself even to start with reading :/
yeah imagine my plight. I had to write it.
Here is 25 for the effort. Don't do it again you might hurt yourself 😛
omg you are a kind soul. You won't go far in erep politics. Thank you for the 25
Oh, you have no idea 😃
Its basically a boast, a few people's roast and and telling she's moving across the pacific coast to which some people in eCanada will toast, but bad news to most.
lol you forgot the Samurai part.
Thanks you! 🙂
Votado!!
Votado!

Sounds like great advice for theexternal eRepublik life also. (aka real life)
There is a real life? 😮
lol only when the world wide internet goes out!
Go Home Kamikaze : v
😘
Kaminaze* : 3
Let's go. Get your passport 🙂
i'm no emo-girl : (
: v
you make sad faces all the time. You will do for an emo-gay. Wear green hair and you are good to go.
if it's how you'd love me.. : DD
I 😘
cube is cute : D
I love the bolding, always gave your piece a different voice.
I'll miss the intelligence and craft you put into your messages if not the messages themselves, lol.
I don't think Japan is the right place for you, DMV and whoever else is following you guys there. But again, what do I know. Nothing. ; )
Take care.
Why is Japan not the right place for me? If Japan isn't then what else is?
And yes you don't know many things that happened in the past either. The messages I write are meant for people that I am sure will get it. The ones that don't should understand that it was never meant for them.
Also, I can thrive in any place. "Thriving" is not what I look for in a game.
From my past decisions, if you have not forgotten, you did get a glimpse perhaps of my ruthlessness. I have conceded the point that I hung out with wrong people but so did you and your calculations were wrong.
I am not accountable for anyone else's actions or behavior. If I have apologized for someone else's actions then yes, that is me going out of my way to make people feel better. 😃
As far as the wrong people are concerned, I was always aware that they would put a dagger in my back sooner or later. I leave them just before they could and it frustrates them a lot. And what does anyone gain by all this anyway? Nothing.
I think this article says it all really. You view yourself as a nomad, an outsider, and for that reason eCan just couldn't get behind you. We like outsiders who come to hang out, but when they try and dictate our politics, without trying to become one of the community, it becomes a problem.
This has been a problem way before your tenure here, flip-floppers have never done well in eCan when they try and implement political change.
Best of luck in eJapan.
/me feels awkward.
I hope you don't take this as a slight against you Dill. I had you in mind when I wrote this, as someone who has become part of the community. You didn't bail when the going got rough and you have built upon the community we have. My gripe is with people who always have "exit strategies" where they flee when they can't make it here. We need people with an attachment to the community to be at the forefront of change because these are the people that know the community best. Someone who admittedly acknowledges themselves as an outsider really says it all.
No offence taken. Just that sometimes it stares me in the face and I have to remember that I'm the "new guy". With all humility I must admit that I have a habit of wadding into a situation like John Wayne. I don't mean to be like that, it just happens. :/
I think you've been here long enough to not be the "new guy" anymore. As well, you've gone above and beyond almost any member of the community i've seen in my time. Your arrival coincided with my re-emergence from two clicking so it feels like you've been around forever lol.
Ah the new guy/old guy routine. Why don't you create something that makes new ones care? The vanity and pride of it all lol... fascinating. And to call it humility.
oh you delude yourself. I tried and you are too blind to see it. Nobody in this game cares enough to sit there and expect someone else to cop out by saying "they need to keep secrets". Plus lines like "we are excellent", "we will take care of it" etc is not inclusive at all. I write my nomad line much later.
The difference between your rule and mine is that I know how to ensure that people don't get bored. It is everyone's prerogative to bring change if whatever there is that exists if it isn't perfect. There is a lot of scope for improvement and the ones that are too smug to see it often resist new changes.
If you expect same people doing the same things and us watching it wasting our time, then you ask too much especially from people like me. I don't commit to stagnation.
Bye! Hope you have better luck in Japan. 🙂
I don't believe in luck. Not in a controlled game environment. Thank you for your good wishes anyway 🙂
Oh noes what will we do
idk sit and be whatever you always were.
Will do. Peacock, out
Fare well. Seems you're looking for an audience that we will never be.
Indeed.
Peanut butter is your friend.
I wonder if Serf puts peanut butter on his banana?
yah tweedledee and tweedledum are finally getting out of eCan!
rejoice for it shall serve as a band-aid to your hate of people that you hardly know 😃
I think I know all that I want to about you. And I've known enough of DMV over the past year to last a lifetime. kthx get out of my eLife
