Art#53 eSK of the ancients - A brief history
Peter de LusionisT Bae
I will start this article by informing you that I am the OLDEST member of this eCountry. I have never, since the citizenship module come out, renounced my eSouth Korean citizenship and have been here since the dawn of the post-beta liberation.
I was eBorn into this eCountry when it was still completely under the control of eJapan. There was no RL Koreans besides me that I knew of. (found 2 others within 3 months)
Within 2, 3 weeks RWs broke out, and a glitch in the war module caused the releasing of most eSK regions from eJapanese control.
When it happened, I was initially against the idea because the ones causing the RW were just crazy war fanatics that just wanted a kick out of their eLife by "liberating" a region from oppression. There were perhaps 50 TOTAL citizens living in eSKorean regions at the time. None of which were much active, including me.
Out of the blue it seemed, there were figures around me that started emerging as prominent members of pre-goon eSK such as Parrot, Yonai, Wesley, Aarons, Cirpadel, Francis and plenty others.
The goons came in pretty quickly and eventually we were emerged in the same waters as them for some time until most of us decided that they weren't welcomed for a reason: They wanted eSK to be in the shitter. (Now there are goons that are around now that were around back then and I honestly think that some of their intentions have changed.)
The population boomed to around 300(exact numbers escapes my memory) and not to be mistaken with our recent figure of 600 with just about half of them being multis in the first place and except about 50, 2 clickers, more than half were more than 2 clicking everyday and eSK was a bustling town of a country.
This is what I refer to as the "good ol' times". There are not many who can share that memory with me now, except Aarons. Even Alfa was a bit after this time.
I'm just writing from the top of my head on this and I'd like to improve on it. Please ask me questions so that I can try to remember other specifics and next, I'm going to get into the arrival of the "old guard".

This is a biased piece of work, but I must say, excluding the part about the goons, I tried my best to keep bias out.
Goons wanted SK to be "in the shitter?" Your ignorance is on;y eclipsed by your incompetence.
I was there at the start of the 'times'. I arrived when Parrot put out a pleas for citizens and food about halfway through his term.
I was here from when Francis won the CP...
Not all 'Goons' are trolls...
how did north korea get into a map? i cant find any usefull info about that country. how many real north koreans are into this game? can you remeber that old one, i would be gretefull.
were you active through another account Alfa?
Back then, most of them were. The old goons might even admit to that.
I know that they aren't the same now.
Current goon population is pretty cool. Stalin-Chan and Breton boy being those that stick out.
No I came in Feb 2009.
As for the goons there were those who able to 'gently caress' but a lot of the newer types (to SA) were just mindless trolls and spammers with no originality.
Probably didn't help that their 'leader' at the time was 'differently abled'
Wow, Alfa, never knew you considered Chinese ancestry a handicap.
I remember Yonai, she seemed to be really big on an independent Korea but then she left for Austria which I thought was weird.

Not the other guy
oh, so you were here at the middle of all this, Alfa. I actually forgot when you came into eSK. XD
