This Is Goodbye

Day 1,262, 02:32 Published in USA USA by PabloTortilla

I recently decided to look back on my past, and try and find some of the many friends that I had made in the smaller countries I frequented, mainly North Korea. And I was deeply saddened. I remember the days that truly invigorated my eLife.

I was born during the spark that ignited World War 3, born into North Korea. I had no idea what was happening, and fought down to 20 wellness, then found out I couldn't get back up. That was when I was approached by lefix, a helpful North Korean who assisted me back to a decent level of health through gifts and some high quality food. He then directed me to a Q5 hospital state, and I was able to start fighting smart.

I then started getting involved in North Korean politics, and supported Afanasiy Drago, my Glorious Leader, and Dictator For Life. He made the decision that got North Korea wiped, but made my bond with the country, and the people, all that more intense. I moved to the US to fight the Russians who invaded my country, and following the retaking of US soil, I became a bit of a nomad, moving back and forth between different countries and North Korea, in it's short stints of freedom.

I eventually gave up on North Korea, following the Great Russian Bot Voting, and made Switzerland my new motherland. It was a decent place, but not somewhere I could really feel at home. But I could always look back to the past, and check how my fellow North Koreans were doing, some living in Japan, others in the USA, and the great Afanasiy Drago living mostly in Spain, due to his high Land skill.

Some months later I moved to the USA and attempted to call it home, but I just couldn't accept it. So, following some bad Admin decisions, I decided to rage quit.

Around 6-9 months later, I'm not sure exactly how long, I returned. And I have mostly enjoyed myself. I rejoined the Crimsons, a great militia, and have been hovering between two-clicker and kind of active.

However, there was something missing. I just wasn't happy with the game anymore. Nothing mattered to me. On my return, I found out that suddenly Spain was our enemy, and Brazil our friend. Then with the Turks, and finally the Russians, I realised nothing really mattered. Being in a militia, I thought I would at least be encouraged to fight, or move around, or something, but game mechanics have changed since my days in SEAL Team 6, and I don't really need to get involved. I can fight in most battles anywhere, now with automatically activated MPP's. I don't have to worry about quitting my job, leaving my party, worrying about being in congress in order to move to another country. I don't have to care about anything.


And now I don't. I don't care. And looking for my North Korean friends, I realised they stopped caring as well. The majority of them have quit. For those of you who knew Drago, you'd know his dedication to North Korea, the amount of work he put into that country was incredible. But he's gone, alond with the rest of them, and faded into obscurity. And now, I shall follow them. I might come back, later down the track, but I already know that I will never become as immersed as I did back in my first 6 months. Nothing the admins can do will change that fact, nor will anything I try to do myself. I've lost the will to keep involved, and with that loss, has gone any meaningfulness to this game.



So this is me saying goodbye. Thank you to all my SEAL Team 6 comrades, you guys made this game a lot of fun, my Crimson buddies, you guys are quite awesome, and have made these past few months worthwhile, but my time has come to an end. To the USA and the few people who actually know me, thanks, you guys have been great. To the few Swiss guys who will read this, you were another great group, and I'll miss you peeps, and to the few remaining North Koreans, I'll see you on the other side o/
