USERS WHO WISH TO DELETE THEIR ACCOUNT BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE DELETION TICKET FOR SOME REASON:

THESE ARE JUST THE FIRST FEW. ALL OF US WILL FOLLOW.
Furthermore, in a move of solidarity zucha, Current President of ePoland, has requested to be deleted. (Ticket #MWX-532532).
Furthermore, in a move of solidarity Dean Michaely, former President of eIsrael, has requested to be deleted. (Ticket #AUE-542610).
In a previous eRepublik insider, you stated that a nation will be added under the Internationally recognized named as “The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”.
After your decision to name the nation “The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” the eGreeks took the high road, not commenting in articles, posting “troll articles”, or even replying to the massive amount of hate speech, spam and vulgarity that was aimed at us.
Apparently, this was a mistake on our behalf.
Since then, you have reversed your decision and are now intent on naming the nation the “Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)(sic)”. By doing so, you have rewarded the endless amount of trolling, racism, vulgarity and flaming that we have seen against the eGreeks, the eGreek nation and the eGreek race in its entirety.
You have rewarded the bad manners of a vocal few against a quiet many.
As you all know, there is a Greek region of Macedonia, and by naming a country “Republic of Macedonia (sic)” you are implying that the Greek region of Macedonia is occupied by a foreign aggressor.
You are implying that Greece and therefore eGreece has no right to Macedonia, or eMacedonia, and that it has been illegally annexed by Greece and/or eGreece.
You are implying that the people of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the inhabitants of Macedonia share the same race and/or culture and/or language and/or religion and/or lineage.
Furthermore, you have decided to create three regions for the ”Republic of Macedonia (sic)", naming two of the regions “Eastern Macedonia (sic)” and “Western Macedonia (sic)”. Thus, you are implying that the Greek region of Macedonia has something to do with these other two “regions”.
In fact, the regions you have created are not based on any real world equivalents and are actually figments of your imaginations as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is actually split into eight regions and not three. As the regions are figments of your imagination, you could have easily named them anything you wanted them to be. For example, you could have used real world region names of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia such as Polog, Skopje, Vardar, Pelagonia, Northeastern, Eastern, Southeastern or Southwestern.
Note that none of the real region names of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia include the word “Macedonia”.
Alternatively, you could also have easily selected a city, a geographic region or a landmark of some type to name the regions after.
However any regional name must not and should not include the word Macedonia, unless it includes the prequalifier "Former Yugoslav Republic of".
In the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia there are no regions named "East Macedonia", "Eastern Macedonia", "West Macedonia" or "Western Macedonia" yet in Greece there are regions named "East Macedonia" and "West Macedonia". You may rename the regions "Eastern (FYROM)" and "Western (FYROM)" which is acceptable and suitable, because in real life there is a region named "Eastern".
Furthermore, the regions of "East Macedonia" and "West Macedonia" are actually real world regions of Greece.
In direct contrast to the above, Greece has regions with the names "Eastern Macedonia" and "Western Macedonia" and each of them form one of the 13 peripheries (regions) of Greece. Unexplainably you have not added the regions with this name to the nation to which they belong, eGreece, but added them to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. This to me is inexcusable.
Click Here For Larger.
You can also review the name of Greece’s peripheries (regions) in a MAP from the UNITED NATIONS. You will clearly see that Western Macedonia and Eastern Macedonia And Thrace are regions of Greece.
At this point, I would like to quote a previous article,
As a footnote, the country is recognized as “The Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia” by the following international organizations:
1. The United Nations (UN)
2. The European Union (EU)
3. North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
4. The International Monetary Fund (IMF)
5. The Organisation foeconstruction and Development (EBRD)
11. Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)
r Economic Co-operation and Development (OCE)
6. The World Trade Organization (WTO)
7. The International Olympic Committee (IOC)
8. The World Bank
9. The Council of Europe (CoE)
10. The European Bank for R
And even non-legal entities, such as the following sports organizations:
12. The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA)
13. The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA)
14. The International Basketball Federation (FIBA)
I would like to add the following quotation from the United Nations regarding the naming upon the entry of this Nation into this esteemed and prevailing world body:
… Decides to admit the State whose application is contained in document A/47/876-S/25147 to membership in the United Nations, this State being provisionally referred to for all purposes within the United Nations as "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" pending settlement of the difference that has arisen over the name of the State.
You can review this document in its entirety by clicking here.
By accepting entry into the United Nations and all other International Organizations, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia voluntarily agreed to this name pending a final solution. It accepted and agreed to this name without any subversion and without being under any distress or external influences.
The only name that has been temporarily and universally accepted by all participants in this dispute is the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Agreeing to anything other then the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, for example the “Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)(sic)” or “Republic of Vardarska(sic)” (or any equivalent), constitutes you taking one or the either side in this dispute, and is in fact, by definition an act of racism against the other.
Once again, I would like to restate that it is universally accepted as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) pending a final and just agreement by both sides, and not the "Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)(sic)".
In absolute clarity, and from any angle, the naming “Republic of Macedonia (sic)" lacks any type of International Recognition, at any world body, at any level.
In conclusion,
Your actions imply that there is a distinction between Macedonians and Greeks, while they are one and the same.
Your actions imply that the region in Greece and in eGreece, of Macedonia and eMacedonia respectively, are regions which should and ought to be part of the “Republic of Macedonia (sic)"
Your actions are in direct convergence with all Internationally accepted parameters.
I hope your actions are a result of neglect and/or your misinformation regarding this issue and that you will work immediately to correct this error, and reverse the bigotry and racism that all Greeks and eGreeks have been subjected to.
In summation, to us, the current status is unacceptable, and we must therefore carefully consider if can continue to willingly partake in any enterprise which minimalizes our national heritage or which subjugates our national pride.
Insulted and outraged,
an eGreek.

Hail!
ADMINS wake up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

act of Justice !
Brave Greek!
I have a better idea. If Greeks are so pissed off over this, how about conquering FYROM and settling this themselves, instead of crying about the admins being racist and throwing themselves off the e-cliff?
In a game like this, once the race card is played, I tend to giggle at the cats who played it, and move on.
This is a dumb issue, and were I in Greece, if this were truly important to me, I wouldn't quit over it, and I wouldn't cry like a pussy to the admins. I'd take back the name of Macedonia, by force or by PTO.
There is no honor in quitting. This is not solidarity. This is a tantrum.
Americans show solidarity and quit the game too!
Childish bickering
Macedonia is Greece!
Their only OFFICIALLY accepted name is FYROM. They accepted it, we accepted it. Untill the RL dispute is over, their name is FYROM. Changing that particular name, means getting into RL politics. That's something we are not going to accept.
Greek players are quitting because a new nation in-game is being named something that the RL government doesn't like? Double read the article, but I'm still confuzzled. Is it RL Greece's job to name each nation?
We protest against the recognition of a slave tribe as Macedons (an ancient Greek tribe) and their propaganda which includes accusations as genocide against them and that we occupy the "Macedonian" ground!
It's not a just a name.It's a rape of history and claim of Greek soil!
HISTORY IS NOT FOR SALE...WE PROTEST AGAINST PROPAGANDA OF SKOPJA!
Let them quit then.
Let them quit. Infantile children.
You're not taking the high road, it's a name, that's it.
Array
If you were a skopjan i would tell you:
Tell me the etymology of Alexander,phillipos,macedonia.
Why phillipos united Greeks?
Where was the capital of ancient macedonia?
What was their language?
Where was their holy city of Dion?
These people are slavs dammit.They have no connection with our MACEDONIA OR GREAT ALEXANDER.
And all the rest uneducated people who comment,please read the article in order to know some history.
It is a matter of honour.
ADMINS PROMISED FYROM.THEY CHANGED THEIR WORDS .
They add REP OF MACEDONIA.There is already a macedonia,the one and only TRUE GREEK MACEDONIA.
ADD FYROM.
USA regonize us like Republic of Macedonia!!!!
Hail USA!!!
Hail Republic of Macedonia!!!
NOT VOTED.
Thе name "Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)" is not good for the greeks ?
Well it is not good for us too. Why ? Obviously, because it contains the reference again (in the brackets).
So this supposed to be some kind of middle solution that should keep both sides pleased. Although we Macedonians are not pleased with that solution (at least not me), most of us are still going to stay, unlike greeks.
I may not be as active as I used to be and will not dedicate much time to this game, because of this. But I'm going to stay to help my friends.
Dear Greeks,
EITHER QUIT THE GAME OR STOP WHINING AND SPAMMING.
HOW PATHETIC...
You create articles in all countries, spam and vote for them only yourselfs. 90-95% of the comments in your articles are from yourselfs - that obviously shows something.
Read this article:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/egreeks-i-don-039-t-bid-you-farewell--1532850/1/20
and this one:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/greeks-are-threatening-by-leaving-the-game-if-wait-a-min--1532425/1/20
... to see how ridiculous greek claims are, if you haven't realized yet.
If admins are naming countries according to UN references, then why Macedonia should be exception ?
If Macedonia is added as F.Y.R.O.M, then admins should rename other countries according to their UN names too:
UK - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Iran - Islamic Republic of Iran
Sweden - Kingdom of Sweden
Venezuela - Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
North Korea - Democratic People's Republic of Korea
Russia - Russian Federation
and many others...
Also another thing:
129 countries recognised Macedonia by its official name, but only 7 countries still haven't. Others don't have official position.
So 129 compared to 7 countries tells you something ?
See which countries recognise Macedonia by its name:

UNSUB. You ignorant fools. Greeks have their RL agenda, and we should NOT ALLOW RL ISSUE to become an integral part of the eRep experience. If they can not cope with that, let them delete themselves from the game.
it is a matter of pride and it is a matter of honour.
If can't get that then i am really questioning your mind capacity.
We thank all oyr friends for being there for us.
It is not just a name. Since begining of the '90ies Skopjan propaganda fluded the net with lies and changed a lot of minds.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
NO MORE LIES. If this task of proving them wrong has fallen to us few , then by all means we are up to it.
The RL issue is admins action not ours.The propaganda ,the lies , and vulgarity is Skopijan actions ,not ours.
We fight for truth ,justice and honour.
Anyone can respect that, except the ones who have no honour and no pride in their lifes.
For all of you honourless i pity you.
For all our friends i thank you.
MACEDONIA IS GREEK
