Embracing Dio
Buck Roger
There was a time when I didn’t know at one moment how I would make it to the next. Yes, one can make war in this world, imitate love, torture one’s fellow man, posture in the papers, or merely speak evil of one’s neighbor while knitting. But, sometimes continuing, simply continuing, is a superhuman feat. And he was not superhuman, you can take my word for it. He uttered his agony and that’s why I love him, my friend, who died without knowing.
Unfortunately he left us alone, to carry on, whatever transpires, even when we are stuck in discomfort, knowing in our turn what we know, but incapable of doing what he did and of dying like him. One tries of course to wrestle something from his death. After all, it was a stroke of genius to tell us: “You are no joy to behold, that’s a fact!" . . .
But too many people now scale the cross merely to be seen from a distance, even if they have to trample him who has been there so long in the process. Too many people have decided to dispense with generosity in order to practice charity. Oh, the injustice, the injustice that has been done him, it rends my heart.
–Albert Camus, La Chute (1956)

I am going to keep this simple.
(1) Life is short, and time is fleeting. There is none to be spent where you are not wanted, and I have been told enough times in the last few days that I am not wanted.
(2) By seeking political asylum in the USA, I can free myself of 90% of my eRepublik responsibilities, thus giving myself and Tina more time together or, indeed, time for more entertaining pursuits.
(3) Emerick is an icon, and for good reason. He played the game his way, without compromise. In loving memory of him, I wish to join S.E.E.S. if someone approves my citizenship.
(4) There is a benefit to the surplus of leadership in the USA. I need accept only the roles that I like. I will enjoy being a financier and a writer, the latter being the only source of real excitement I have ever derived from eRepublik.
yours, Buck Roger

BUCK NEVER STOPS (the man than i knew from erepublik). We need you, you need us! If you see that the spending time in erepublik for Greece was waste of time that must make you more strong to achive the best place---to be president
Sorry about my english but i want to speak in your language. I enjoy with all your articles and i want you stay here....
A greek
🙁 but VOTED thank you for every little or big moment that you helped eGreece & eGreeks Buck Roger. However leaving the country where you just declare to run for the highest position, really isnt the most proper move. It doesnt show that you really wanted, that hard, to become president of eGreece. Anyway, take care, and i m sure you will choose wise...
I haven't been this let down in a long time
vote😛(
we <3 you!

Reconsider friend. If each and every eGreek left eGreece when he felt unwanted, eGreece would be a sink, a pit, of maximum 500 citizens. Well, it's not.
Buck, many parties were supporting your candidation! Dont listen every st***d man, who told you something... It's embarassing the fact that some eGreeks do this. Please, come back and we will win all together the elections! I hope that you will listen to me.thanks
🙁

True. Emerick was Great
Let me get things straight
I won't tell if i support or not your candidacy.
But for sure i will defend your right to be candidate for president.
You have helped much eGreece in times of need,in difficult times.
Also,let me repeat the position of The_Clairvoyant.If every eGreek left eGreece when he felt unwanted,eGreece would be a bit of 500 people who would swear each other.
Giving power to trolls and haters is not the appropriate way to deal with situations.

Buck, you are considerd one of us! You are e-Greek! You are "e-Ellinas"! We want you back..
Please reconsider your choice..
Alexander
This is a very bad day indeed...
Buck, i call you to think about it once more and come back to eGreece...
I will be waiting for your citizenship application mate!
BUCK, COME BACK!
Thanks Buck.. For all you have done for eGreece.. I think that those "parrots" who started claiming you will stop now.. They succeded what they wanted..
I think you should return once...
Hey man I respect your choice but I would appreciate if you didn't listen to those ethnicist f*cks and stayed in eGreece to become the CP.
Thanks for everything and please reconsider
it's your state and i can't judged you but i think you have more to offer in a country in need.....
not as warrior
nor as writer
Not even as a president but as person open mined that decide to start a game in a foreign country and learn the game better than everybody else...
ps😛ersons with closed eyes will always stopping the others from seeing...
BUCK, COME BACK
Buck please reconsider...
You can't give up because some people started those "articles"
Don't you see? they are afraid of you!
@the dragon
