Time to face the final curtain...
Angrr
And so... the end is near...
I can't believe how lame this is - but I am going to join the list of people leaving this game as V2/Rising rolls in.
Since I started playing with the V2 beta a few weeks ago, my will to continue has seeped from me, and what I am left with now is someone who is of no use to anyone.
I am not going to criticise things and storm off in a rage. Things are different, but that is life - things change.
The things that changed though, detract from the enjoyment that I got from this game. The new military module confuses the hell out of me and takes far too long to get involved in. There are merits, I am sure, but I was never really a soldier anyway, so this was never going to draw me into that.
The massive gold consumption required to remain competitive is also a factor. As a matter of principal (call me a fool) I have never used gold to imporve anything - not a single training session with Napoleon or his buddies. The number of places that the game tries to take your gold now is sickening. In fact only this morning when I logged in, I had a message from my employer requesting that I use a gold booster each day, or he will cut my salary. This is despite being a "Guru*" Architect and 475 productivity. Sadly, I promptly quit my job. Which leads onto another issue - with so many career paths, it is now very difficult to find a job in some areas.
So, while I refuse to condemn the changes and quit in a rage, quit I will.
Some older players may recall that I quit once before, only to return a year later. In order to avoid this temptation, I will ask the admin to delete this account, or do something stupid until I get a premanent ban (a la Emerick). As I was elected into congress, I plan to see out this term. I promised to do so, and all congress discussions I have remained a part of. In fact, I have spent much more time reading the congress boards than being in-game.
This gives me some time to get things in order. As I have some things to offload, I thought long and hard about how to do so.
I currently operate a Q1 housing company and a Q2 Air units Company.
These will require a new home. I decided upon the following format-
I will run a competition, and give away my organisation - including all businesses and cash / gold in it - to the winner.
The runner up will recieve all cash / gold in my citizens possesion.
To enter, write an article. I want to help the next generation of eJapanese citizens - the ones who must come forward now in V2 and take the place of the old and tired politicians like myself.
Write an article outlining a problem - any problem regarding eJapan - and propose a way that it could be solved, or at least improved. The most sensible idea wins.
Not many people are likely to miss me - I long outlived my usefulness in most peoples eyes, and some people are far too cynical to accept a player who doesn't look to improve his own situation at all times. I would like to say that it was a good experience playing this game - a fun way to spend a few hours each day. It was also a great way to take up time that should have been spent on other things - most of which are far more productive.
I feel no sadness in leaving. I am relieved to be free of this game at last. When a game feels like a responsibility, it's best to leave it be.
NOTE: If no-one gives a shit about the competition, I guess I will just randomly select a winner and that will be that.

This is the org up for grabs.
i feel for you i have gone into a state of just trying to two click since i have other priorties that demand more of my time and many of us will not condone your actions nor will we be dissapointed to see and old and great player leave it is saddening that you are though i wish the best of ventures for you and it is a shame that we will lose yet another estemmed member of the original TFC good luck to you my friend and farethewell for you will be missed by many and rembered by those that truly knew you
ill take it
You're employer was stupid. The only reason to use a booster is if your salary includes that as a benefit. I'd suggest taking the new version for a spin, without the knobgobbling boss you had.
Also:
can i have ur stuff?

Good luck in real life Angrr.
Bye for now.
hi
Farewell my friend. Wish you the best.
As your former employer, I feel very sorry to see you leaving.
And I don't think offering a guru* architect 3.75JPY/hour but asking him to use the 0.19G booster is doing something bad. If you feel hurt because of it, I apologize, I didn't mean that.
Wish you good luck in the future!

^ I agree. When something becomes a burden and just a "work" that you no longer enjoy, its best to leave them be.
Well, I respected your work and passion. No matter what others say about your words, I've seen your passion and that alone justifies your importance in this community. With that, and for what you have done for this nation (small or big), thank you for all the hours you spent in this game.
Take care sir.
Sayonara and later !
good luck
3.75 JPY an hour is over a gold a day* if you work 12 hours and use a 50% booster. So I'd have to agree that that was a reasonable request.
That said, I don't blame you for quitting in response to this pile of shit they've shoveled onto the game. Everything is a money grab, and the guys making this game are too incompetent to deserve anyone's money.

Cya Angrr. Good luck irl!!!!
See you next month.
Good luck, man.
If not here, then good luck in real life!
Good luck Angrr, as a fellow 'Why pay for a free game' player it's a shame to see you go.
Here's to hoping your companies and money will land where they'll do some good.
