Spencer's Post Mortem
Spencer Magee
Hi.
It’s been a long time since I wrote an article, and even longer since I wrote them regularly and was active in this game. Actually, in a few days it will be 1,000 total days since my last article, so oops at me breaking the streak!
I just wanted to write maybe one last thing for this game since I have no time for it anymore, and the drunken mess that was my last piece is no good.
This game has changed a lot since I stopped playing it regularly, so much so I think it’d be impossible for me to get back into it, or catch up at all. I remember when being a level 26 was pretty elite, and now I see freaking buttheads like Temujin walking around with levels in the 90’s. I ain’t got time for that! I remember when Tem was a newbie and now he’s like a beast.
But it holds a nostalgic factor for me since I use to be so into this game and loved it. I loved messing around with some of you, trolling, and even the more serious controversies I was involved with (Impeaching Chucky over that one french guy who did something bad, getting into fights with the likes of Octavius and Acacia, pissing off the French Canadians regularly) I look back on with fond memories. But helping eCanada grow and be prosperous and smiting our enemies back during the golden era of this country, that’s what I remember most.
I checked back into this game recently to see what the map looked like and was surprised how upset I was to see Spain had taken us over, even though I hadn’t signed onto this places in years. And when I did sign on today, seeing familiar faces still walking around made me happy, like bumping into old pals you hadn’t seen in ages.
Unfortunately this game is just too different and has advanced way too much for me to get back into the groove of it. My friends list is 90% dead people, including tons of people who were good chums. Most of the people who'll read this won't give a shit which is cool beans.
I just wanted to give a shout out to the peeps who still play this game that I know and tell ‘em to keep rockin’ it:

And probably some others I am forgetting.

I'll be around every now and then, but I doubt I'll ever seriously play this game again.

Actually they changed leveling a lot. Getting to lvl 25 takes just a day or two. About a year ago I got back into the game and have slowly worked my way up. It's actually better to be a lower level now with the level based division combat system.
Good to see you back, regardless.
For reals? So basically 2 years to get to where I am and now it only takes one or two days? I'm not sure if that is encouraging or discouraging, lol.
Also no way to get into level 90s or anywhere close requires tons of real life $$
Took me a month. How did you get a day or two?
"Getting to lvl 25 takes just a day or two."
it does? teach me senpai
Ok well it doesn't take near as long as it used to under V1
Welcome back o/

I like your list of thank-yous to the departed, some strong players there.
Thanks for the nod.
Good luck in RL
Thanks.
A lot of them were eCanadian staples so it's sad to see them move on, but tis life.
good night sweet prince
also, wouldn' this be a pre-mortem? ~😃
Well here I thought you gone done disappeared.
Thanks for the mention...and grata on finding a way out. Do yourself a favour and change your password to something random so you won't be tempted to come back
Nooo but we want Spencer here with us
I tried this once but gave up after failing to find out how, lol.
Good luck in RL, may the force be with you! o7
~hyuu~
All the best to you!~ o/
To my knowledge:
- Chucky Norris left eRepublik; his citizen may still be alive, but he's no longer playing.
- one of the mentioned "left" has been reincarnated (;
OMG I love all the reincarnated people and I might know who it is. 😉
And I loved Chucky, which is hilarious considering how contentious our relationship was for a short period but we were bros after that.
I still haven't found his reincarnation-- so he's disappointed in me >
I miss Chucky; he IS such a bro :3
From what I know, I'm glad he's doing well (:
You should stick around, V1 was pretty great but I like the game better now.
Yeah? Maybe I'll stick around a bit. Sorry I don't know you much!
Sup man intresting to see you pop up.
Yes I'm still a prick.
I would expect nothing less of you, haha. o7
How can anyone take this game seriously anymore?
I remember trolling around with you after we liberated Yukon from Iran. That was an awesome night, and those battles were genuinely fun to watch (even though I was far from a beast back then)
I'm glad to see you're still kicking around though. And for what it's worth, I'm sure you owe me a drink.

Holy f*ck that was back when we had walls. I remember that. As I recall, Iranians were the most butthurt of the PEACEniks, much more than any of those other losers.
I just looked back into my newspaper archives and it seems a ton of my articles have disappeared into the ether. Kind of disappointing because there was a lot of lulz and history in there.
