South Africa
I write to you today with deep regrets. As often happens, real life has struck when it hurts most. I have decided that my only option left is to resign from my run for president of South Africa. I have always been a civil servant, my priority is the good of the country. In the past three or four days I have slowly lost my ability to work as hard as I once did. My schoolwork increases exponentially. I can no longer go on.
I am not one to forget my priorities, I won't let RL suffer because of eRepublik. And on the other hand, I am unwilling to stand as president when I'm unable to use my full potential. I have been exhausted every day by the time I get a chance to log on to eRepublik, and I've had to give up forums all together, focusing on international crisis negotiations as the real important thing. Its been a very hectic past few days with news of Philip's death, Chaos as World War breaks out, and people coming to me on IRC constantly. I never imagined myself going to Enoch, and letting him know I wouldn't be running. But the RL work has been weighing heavily, along with the guilt of my inability to do everything I'm needed for.
I'm sorry to all of my supporters. The numbers seemed to lean in my favour, and some have pleaded me not to resign, but I must. I feel terrible after all that I said about giving the people two choices. I have spoken with Enoch and I have decided to still be VP. I will, however, have to give up the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I wouldn't be able to be the same minister I have been for the past few months. A suitable replacement will be found.
To everyone who strongly supported my campaign, first, I'm sorry to have let you down
To Exilious, you have no chance.
Stop trying to sabotage our country for your own personal gain.
I'm living an exciting RL, sometimes theres no way around it,
I will be back in full force someday,
You can count on it.
Sincerely,
Oceanus

🙁. And second, I will be getting together with Enoch to share my ideas for eSA's future. I will be sending him my notes and incomplete campaign articles so that he can better incorporate my thoughts into his administration. And as VP I will still be active on the scene.
To Exilious, you have no chance.

Epicmaxx with great respect, my friend.
Philip isn't dead?
Sorry to hear that Oceanus. 🙁
Looks like Enoch has our support now.
Dont you love it when everything goes as planned?
🙁
🙁
Damn. Good luck, my friend.
Exilious, that comment just makes me know how you can have the awesome ability to see a conspiracy in everything.
Good luck with all your RL stuff. I was looking for an interesting election 😛 But I understand, RL always comes first. I'd do the same.
I look forward to working with you as VP, and getting our plans together to move forward.
This is sad news for South Africa. Not only does this cost us the excitement of a competitive election, it deprives us of a great diplomat. I hope you can come back in full force some day.
Enoch/Oceanus in November!
A BIG shame! 🙁
Next time boet!
We all understand this type of thing
well damn, you had me sold.
Be back soon. You should run again when you come back. Good luck.
Fail dropout is Fail 😕
Sh*t happens. You can just run when things calm down. Enoch is an excellent candidate as well, so this just makes it easier to choose. Best of luck to you, my friend. See you in the SCFC, fair seaman.
