Fixin to die

Day 920, 18:39 • Published in Canada Canada

• by Bill Forder

Boredom, a common symptom of an everday person
Today I find myself trying to find meaning to my elife, I lost the congressional elections for about the 5th or 6th time in a row and I feel that being a middle aged player sucks.
People, I have a problem...

I think I am in what you would call my emidlife crisis.

Not only do I find myself clicking on my erepublik tab hoping I get a PM but I also am finding I am really bored with my elife. My real life is pretty cool, summer is just around the corner but taht is not the point. The point is as I age in erepublik I am getting less active and am losing my political life to newer "fresh" players. I am not too upset about the new player thing since my old friend karma will get them in 100 days or so.

So instead of killing my profile, I have decided to create a bucket list
1. Get into Congress at least one more time
2. Get into a higher cabinet position in any Goverment
3. Be the leader of a party and lead it into political greatness
4. Lead a political revolution
5. Get a Q5 house
6. Create a successful buisness
7. Help create a baby boom
8. Win a Presidential election
9. Get promoted in the national military or other military group and get a BH medal
10. Create a legend of myself, Bill Forder is a household name

Join me in my mission if you would like, or just leave me be, up to you 😃. That was a list of 10 things I feel I have to do before I quit(die) erepublik.

I feel your pain bro. I have found the motivation to keep going in being other-directed. But even if you don't, I urge you to keep two-clicking.

If you're looking for work with meaning, PM me and we'll talk. You won't get rich but you will be part of some public works.

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend (😎

Makes you feel any better... I just won Congressionals! 😃
Well, that wouldn't would it?
But, it was my 8th attempt so, don't get down. Try try again. 😉

... now that I have read this full article. I have been personally touched by it.
This describes me too. For many many months I have tried to get into Congress. Now I have and realize it really isn't all what it is lead up to be unless you work your way up... which I plan to do but, that is the future.
Right now, I am in the same situation as you.
I feel like I am going no where, attempt after attempt of Congress, more subers, or support is useless. I am going no where. Why play?
Well, it is just like Real Life Bill. Look at it that way. Why do some people live life when they aren't millionaires, famous or the President? Because of opportunity and those moments of fun. We continue to find those and enjoy them. The same idea is applied here. Although the current moment may be as dull as the point on a soccer ball, the future is up to you to make. With ambition like yours, you can go far. As will I some day.

So, I'll join you on your mission. haha, although I have a head start b/c a friend gave me his Q5 house before leaving 😛
You work your magic in Canada and I'll do the same in the U.S.

May I suggest a fun addition to your list? BH medal 😉

I hope you and I can both find our potential soon.
