It seems that everyone involved in the mud slinging has already apologized except for myself.

I have let my real world values and politics seep into this simulation. I am so angry at the way things are being run in the real world these days that when I see similar actions in Erepublik it sets me off. I think it happens primarily because I know someone here will at least hear (read) what I am saying. It isn't drowned out by the billions of ignored voices around the real world. This "game" is an odd beast to say the least.

So, to set the record straight, I don't really think Jack is evil or a coward or any of the other mean things that I said. His decisions allowed us to maintain our sovereignty at the cost of another player nation possibly losing theirs. So what? I have been betrayed so many times in games like Command & Conquer, Warcraft, Starcraft, RISK…etc. etc. that I can't even count them. I have never been angered when it happened in those games and I shouldn't be so angry here either. I guess it's because we are playing politics rather than strategy alone that it seems different and difficult for me to maintain relativity. Plus, everything takes so damn long to happen in Erepublik that rash decisions seem to be much more difficult to recover from.

Anyway, I think I'm going to split and let the rest of you play politician. Just like the real world, it is unlikely that we can exist happily under one ideology, philosophy or whatever. I'm tired of banging my head against the wall (figuratively of course) trying to accept other's compromises or making some of my own. It's like some kind of hellish tennis match for me when trying to defend a position or attack someone else's in order to reveal it's flaws. Throw in various rants and attacks by multiple other world views and it ends up turning into a painful wall-o-text that wears me out. I'm a nice guy…really…but this game brings out the worst in me.

I apologize President Roberts and I wish you luck in sorting things out…in both eLife and real life.

For anyone concerned about my business holdings, stock shares, etc., don’t worry. I will sort everything out as fairly as I can before I logout for the last time. Callagan will receive control of Fruity Oaty Bar if he wants it and after I pay off the other investor. Cooper Jackson will receive Blue Beaver, also after I sort out the outstanding shares and contact the investors regarding the same. The diamond company that I received from Erik of the Norse (Angel Tears…I renamed it) will be passed on to someone prominent in Thailand, but I'm not sure who yet.

I know it sucks that Thailand is losing another citizen, but this is all just getting too heavy for me, and I'm not even working hard at it like the top dogs. Try to take it easy on them so that they don't burn out too quickly.


Signed,

The Ignorant Ass (thanks Callagan) 😉

P.S. Nouveauk, let me know how much the gifts were that you just wasted on me and I'll reimburse you.
