Join the new world

Greetings reader, my name is Volkonski. Now you're probably asking yourself "why is he writing this, he's been around for nearly 6 months, why didn't he write this at the start?" (or you don't care and just want something to keep you awake so you don't have to go to work in the morning), well I'm writing this because I've now deeply engrained myself into this game and want to delve further into it, and to do that I need to introduce myself and express my plans for the future (that's right people, its time for "What's my life story!", more after the break).

So to begin, I actually played this game a long time ago back when there was very little war and everything revolved around creating business empires and having jobs (you know, that time when you had a picture of a human instead of just some green bar). Unfortunately I stopped playing after 3 months as I was quite stupid at the time and didn't grasp the concept of patience or economic efficiency (hell, I couldn't even write properly....so no change there then I suppose). Fast forward a few years to the year 2014 and I once more stepped into the realm of eRepublik.

To begin with, I had no clue what I was going to do and really didn't have any intention of actually being involved in the community. I joined up during the later stages of my college course and just wanted something to pop onto every now and then and maybe fight in the odd war just to do my part for my country. Well all that changed when the fire nation attacked, my people were forced into an endless struggle to survive against the brutal assault that rained upon us, it was at this point that I simply could not sit by idly any longer. So I took up my pointy stick, fashioned it into an even pointier stick and charged at the black mass of endless fire benders......yeah ok that didn't actually happen, but there indeed was a war that nearly wiped us out and it did force me to do more than simply prod the enemy every now and then.

Now this is where my memory gets quite hazy (being 21 I'm not as young as I used to be, old age and whatnot), I did quite a bit of party hopping starting with the PCP and WRP (I was going through a communist phase at the time) and finally stopped at TUP for a few weeks. Now at the time I was not aware of just how awful TUP was, but me being a democratic socialist in real life I felt at home....that is until the fire....yeah ok I'll stop now.

So after a while a wild Vendetta appeared and started spouting claims of TUP being corrupt (he he, rhyming) and totally not demo socialists, that really rustled my jimmies so much that I joined Vendetta....for 2 days before I was unscrupulously questioned over my friends list in proper Gestapo fashion. And that rustled my jimmies even more than my previous rustling so much that I said sod it to the whole political theme and declared myself void of all politics. Fast forward a few days later and I eventually landed in the UKPP, impressed by their ability to actually follow their political orientation (unlike that other party....I'm looking at you TUP).

And so began a long journey (2 and a half months to be exact) of slowly integrating myself into the UKPP(something I haven't fully done yet, but hopefully this article, as pointless as it is, will speed that up a bit). I eventually landed myself into congress through sheer dumb luck and I'm now going through my 2nd term.

And this brings us to what I plan on doing, so in true politician fashion I now present to you *drum roll please*.....a load of bollocks!. For my first act on my referendum I shall be attempting to do the following:

1)Be a big upnosed politician who doesn't care about the eUK population
2)Steal huge amounts of public tax money and use it to buy golden toilet seats
3)Be generally obnoxious and pick my nose in congress
4)Laze around in luxury whilst the eUK populace struggles daily
5) Argue over who keeps rearranging the fridge instead of discussing important matters


Ok I kid, there are obviously no golden toilet seats in this game (alas, tis a shame) and I'm fairly sure some of you people are smart enough to not follow someone who would act like that. In truth all I plan to do is help the eUK community in anyway I can and, even though I'm inexperienced, hopefully lead the country someday out of this dark and turmoil abyss that we now call home.

I hope you enjoyed this little read, I really only did this because its 4am and I've nothing better to do (sleep is for the weak!). I'll do my best to spiff these articles up a bit to make them less of a text wall and hopefully include interesting and relevant facts, but until then you're stuck with this for the next few articles.

That's it for now, ta ta! 🙂

p.s I apologize for it being somewhat short and indirect, I'll do better next time
