The Death of Rikki Justice

Day 575, 11:03 Published in Canada Canada by Rigour6

Rikki Justice, one of eNB's top 10 citizens, will probably die later today or tonight from starvation. She was a Level 13, but hasn't done anything for about 3 months now.

We draw attention to Rikki not because we know her (we don't) and not because her case is unusual. We draw attention to her because she is, alas, just another statistic, an example of a citizen who entered the eworld, rose to a good level and then, for whatever reason, lost interest. Her reasons may be unique to her and inevitable. But she has a lot of company, as a review of eNB's top citizens will verify. Players who had the drive and initiative to start life here and worked hard to establish themselves, then drifted away.

Perhaps the eworld just wasn't for Rikki. Perhaps nothing any of us could have done would have extended her life.

But perhaps, just perhaps, if we had a better organized province, stronger health care, and more esprit de corps, we would have had another strong ecitizen join in our struggle to build a strong eNB.

RIP Rikki. Sadly, we never knew ye. But that doesn't mean you won't be missed.
