eRepublik Desiderata

Go placidly amid the log in and two clicking,
and remember what peace there may be in not pissing off eIndonesia too much.

As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with admin - for their banhammer can hurt your butt.
Use your Newspaper or comment your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to other players,
even DoctorDry;
they too have their story.
Avoid spam messages from annoying persons,
they are vexatious to the bandwidth.

If you compare yourself with eUSA,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser nations than ours.

Enjoy your treasure maps as well as your shiny medals.
Keep interested in your own work skill, however meagre;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of eRepublik.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of company and gold-stealing scum that just want your password and PIN.
But let this not blind you to what Monetary Market deals there are;
many persons strive for high profit;
and everywhere eLife is full of gold bugs.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not multi-account.
Neither be cynical about those that do;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment with the game
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of your eAge,
gracefully surrendering your principles in the desire to change the eWorld.
Nurture strength of spirit in alliances that shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with darkyojimbo.
Many players are born of late night pizza and bordom with World of Warcraft.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with your flaming.
You are a child of the eWorld,
no less than the level 29 players and the moderators;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the eWorld is unfolding as Admin feels will make the most cash.

Therefore be at peace with Admin,
whatever you conceive Him, or Plato to be,
and whatever your missions to complete, and tiny rewards to receive,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your avatar.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
eRepublik is still bloody addictive.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
