I can still remember how that music used to make me smile

And maybe they'd be happy for a while"

Hi kids!
Damn nostalgia. I really don't understand myself sometimes. Why do I reminisce about crap that happened in a browser game years ago, decades by game time*. Probably just sentimentalism because I'm an old fart in real life.
*Supposedly one month equals one year in eRep. I have no idea who came up with that.
Iasov
One of the first leaders in the game that influenced what I eventually became as "Thedillpickl". There were many others that laid a trowel to the mortar but he was the first that really set a tone. My inaugural term in Congress I had many good advisers from UIP. The most prominent instruction was "Keep your mouth shut and learn.". Of course that was the first thing I didn't do. ^__^ A couple of the old timers jumped my ass and told me that "No one's interested in what a noob has to say.". If I'm remembering correctly, Evry, Pealswine and chesehead were my personal greeters. For some reason Iasov thought it would be funny to feed me information that would infuriate some Congressmen. lol
If you want to see what spurred all of this, here's an article I ran across. It was Iasov's last article before being permabanned. First thought is 'eRep... still the same' but then I thought 'Damn, it was a lot more interesting back then'. Eh, maybe I was just young and naive, everything looked bigger and better.
Anyhow, if you like, just skim the article as it is a bit long, then be sure to look at the comments. I noticed that there are no votes for the comments, nor were there any replies to them. That was before the admins added those 'features'. Some of those names... Clair, Candor, The Libertine (Croy), Paul Proteus (he's still around), Jelly (I miss him), Joe DaSmoe getting smart mouthed. Oh, some punk kid called dillpickl writes a comment too.

the present moment is confusing. the future is worrisome. so the past just seems more tolerable.

"SamWystan is a pretty cool dude"
Amen to that.
I loved Sam's work. He inspired me to improve my writing.
He still inspires me.
still, nostalgia is nice and it makes us happy deep inside.
i can understand your feelings, my good dillpickl!
i still remember when you was a legend in e-switzerland, and i was fighting alongside you, rican, lucasFTM, uros012 and mungos.
good times!
i think that this is the best feature in this game: the wonderful community, its people. you!
oh, also, i remember how i enjoyed reading rican's newspaper and yours, and your newpaper even gave me some inspiration! 😉
thanks for that as well!
i still read your newspapers, mates!
I won't lie. I've had my times in erep when I was impressed with myself. lol It's a little silly to pour hours into doing a thing, be it a hobby, game, sport and then not take pride in your accomplishment.On the other hand, if you did not make any friends along the way those achievements mean nothing.
Glad you're still around chris!
ofcourse, i agree with you!
if you are not proud of your achievement(s), then whats the point?
also, its important to make friends, and i have made many good and wonderful friends in this game, yourself included!
(also rican, lucasFTW, mungos30, leonidas, spartan, murgos and many many more.)
im happy to be on this game, and thats mostly due to the community, the people that exist in this game.
its a great thing.
thank you for your kind words, dillpickl, you are the best!
I remember Iasov...
I made that avvy for Iasov. He was indeed a good guy.
Voted, nostalgia is all that's left
I don't know, but I'd be willing to bet that Iasov can still be found on IRC... somewhere.
lasov confused me, which I suppose is pretty easy to do. :/
But how I loved Croy! who also sometimes confused me, but was easier on my eEyes. 😉
I always thought of you like an older brother, dill, even though I was the older one. :'(
