You will be revived at 50.

That's what it said. I'm at 23. That is just not cool. Are my awards weighing me down? Do they have some alghoritm keeping the algaface down? @^£# that. I just figured I'd let you all know I'm back.Not sure if I'll stay in Sweden this time around though. I might move down to Denmark and hang out with Grev Per, the only person who's actually kept up contact with me after I left Erepublik.
When last I was here, some dick hack abdicated and left the presidency to Radsoc. I was all like;
After that I just didn't have it in me anymore. When I joined FBS it had the most powerful leaders in Erepublik. Sweden was all powerfull yet benevolent. When I was last party leader everyone in FBS looked to me to revive the party. The problem is, the man who started FBS was long gone before they even joined the party. The man called Carradine was a mere legend to these people. Ziggyzag was the man in charge when I started playing. Imagine how I felt when he asked me to make a power ranger avatar for him. It was awesome. Just awesome. Or awesome with the F-word in front.
FBS when I was there last was full of people looking for a leader. Back in the day, it was full of ambitious cutthroats looking to be the next leader. That's what made Sweden strong in the past. We had ideas. Better ideas then the old ones, better propaganda, better orders, articles, ideas. Still, we shared the ideas and bided our time for we knew that the toll of being president was high on anyone doing it (I believe Flammbar was the only one who was president 5 months in a row in the history of Sweden. That is god damn inhuman.) but I know there was always someone hungry, biding their time with a plan on what to do when they regained power.
When I left erepublik I didn't feel that. FBS was dead. Aside from myself there was no one left from the days when I started my åolitical career and I realized I was going to have to lead the pack. The pack felt like a bunch of headless chickens. FRONT had taken everything that was good about FBS. And why not? FRONT was the same thing, just more efficient. But then Icehacker disappeared and the question whether FRONT could stand without him was answered. The answer was another question: "Who gives a shit?".
What do you do when everything you believe in dies?
I'm going somewhere else, and I will travel until I find something to believe in.

Yeah, go to Denmark that's under Swedish flag now.. /facepalms
DOH!
I used to rule this nation... But I am danish born and danish blood flows in my veins. Question me and suffer. Come at me fat boy...
HAHA! st00r, inget illa men kunde inte låta bli att vara dramatisk. Dra av ett meddelande på fb nästa gång du ska ut på stan i karlstad. Vore kul att ses. Lovar att inte ta med Icehacker.
Also, Grev Per did his best work when denmark was under Swedish flag. NO ONE can deny that.
I gots good news.
1.
Nevermind I just discovered that MSAP does still exist. I don't know how I overlooked them before. :/
2. I joined Gämlingarne, that put this party over the top, now FRONT is no longer a top 5 party. OH YEAH.
3. Feel free to work for my housing company, Zombie Housing.
4. Goldeneye 007 for the Wii is AWESOME.
I have testicles so I don't own a Wii.
"Nice job, Algaroth! You would have done better if you had used a health kit before starting your work. See you tomorrow!"
"Do you know how much prettier a woman is with my junk in her mouth?"
I miss the beta days.
Wrong. You DON'T have testicles, so you overcompensate by owning an xbox and a ps. 😛
presumably at least.
I own neither of those. Npt really much of a console guy. Did I hit a sore spot?
Voted
"some dick" = Carradine
Eller vänta, var det Beharede som fick makten efter Carradine?
Dirty Harry, Beharede fick efter Carradine, Radsoc fick efter Per-Otto
Haha, Algaroth... eardedbay eway illway revailpay!
Are you alive dear Algaroth??? Your phone isn´t 🙁
Algaroth king of kings!
Betamjau: My phone is alive. Maybe you have the wrong number.
..Yea sure, that's what I tell all the ugly ladies as well... 😮)
FBS is dead and and that party has been crying for a leader the last year or so... but no one's stepping up to do the hard work. One person can't do everything. But that party will remain dead until someone with the right knowledge, ambition and dedication can gather enough support to do some changes and bring things forward again.
People mourn the beta days because the competition sucked in comparsion and admins didn't come up with crap changes every second week. The game was more fun. As simple as that. Now when we can't change the world with 100 dedicated players anymore, people just don't give a damn. History is written today just as it was then. We've started to turn things around.
So I consider it a fair bit ignorant to draw parallels between how Sweden was under inactive FRONT/FBS management and how things are right now. Sure, it's december, we've all got better things to do... but take a look at the map. We've got three german regions and we're h o l d i n g them. No kamikaze stuff here. We liberated Denmark. We're able to compete on the international market, only lacking 1 food region and 2 (which are unavailable in all of Europe) weapon regions.
I'm not sure what else I am to do in order to satisfy the never-ending stream of revived FBS-corpses... since it seems to be that it's more about WHO does what than what's actually being done.
Valnad, we're not keeping them because of partiet nor your leadership (wich is great btw), we're keeping them because the game is failing. Because the world is busy with other stuff and we're just a bit more strong than Germany (and lotz more goldz)
Nattzor: nothing has changed in that department for the last 6 months. This could have happened under Meleni or Carradine. But it didn't. And I never said that this had anything to do with Partiet, all I said was that I'm tired of people who seem to think that unless FBS did it, it was not worth doing anyway.
Kinda like your reply. We do better now than we've been doing in a year. If not more. And it's all a coincidence? I mean... come on 😃
I dont say that the president FBS had were any good. But you cannot deny that the world has gone inactive and we've stayed about the same the last few months.
We've gained 500 two clickers in 2 months.
We've gained several new regions.
We've gained valuable core regions, for the first time ever.
If you don't see a change from how things were before, you've got a short memory... or you simply don't play actively. Because to compare what we have now with how things were during the V2 depression or the 3-4 months of inactive presidencies... well, there's a LOT more work going into this now.
We've stabilized the economy. We managed to rise enough funds to have more MPP's than ever. Our currency has been stable throughout a time when not even Poland or US had stability on their money markets. These are all key turning points in recent, modern eSwedish time. Just because everyone seem to take such things for granted doesn't mean that there wasn't plenty of work and research going into it.
Or mabye the world is still active but now is it only 5000 multis left instead of 10000 🙂
Valna😛 I don't have the energy to respond to your wall of text there but all I was saying was that FBS is dead and I don't have the motivation so revive it. FBS can rot for all I care.
As for whether or not things have changed since I was last active (about 8 months ago) I'm pretty sure they have. Both the game mechanics and the political landscape are different. This article is simply me saying I'm back and should not be viewed as a commentary on the politics of today because I honestly don't know anything about. I probably will after I've been back a while but until then my witty critique of the powers that be will have to wait.
Where the gods reward cheaters nothing can be believed in.
