The Last Will and Testament of Yonai Keiko
I was born on day 334 of the New World, exactly 800 days ago. I have lived in the eWorld for quite some time and I have had astounding experiences along the way, meeting fantastic people, fighting amazing battles, and forging my long winded path without hesitation. eRepublik has, without a doubt, been a wonderful and positive part of my life, but all good things must come to an end eventually. I have decided to pass away of old age, starting the process this coming midnight. Before I leave, though, I feel the need to recognize a few people who have so greatly shaped my eLife and perhaps even my real life.

In Order of Appearance:
• Parrot - You were perhaps my very first friend in eRepublik, and my second enemy. You’re dead now, but I feel that you should still get recognition. Without you, I would have never been so enthralled by this game or involved in any way beyond two-clicking. Even though I found your pretentious nature and arrogant attitude to those opposed to you quite bothersome, you still deserve credit for bringing me so deep into the game. Thank you.

• Father - Though Parrot started the process your fantastic organizational skills and your instruction on how to best utilize my skills in-game pushed me even further towards the direction I took in my time in-game. You also introduced the concept of light role-playing in-game to me. I enjoyed our time in The Party, and despite being somewhat mislead in my actions, I regret nothing. For that experience: Thank you.

• Peter/Wesley/Old Korea - Your devotion to South Korea amazed me, and I greatly enjoyed working with me. I don’t have many specific things to say about you all, because, quite frankly, there have been too many times I’ve worked with all of you to pick just one that showed our friendship. Thank you.

• Spade - You came when South Korea needed you and you exceeded every expectation I had for the young foreigner that came into my nation. You grew beyond everything I could have hoped for and you became a great leader with your own cult of personality! I remain amazed at most everything you do. Now that you’ve come back, I hope you continue to do great things. Thank you.

• Myung - I had no idea what to expect of you, and I really didn’t take you into account as a strong individual until I came back from my ‘beauty sleep’. Then I found out just how fantastic you are at everything you do. You’re about to be elected into an important position in the Phillipines, and all I can say to them is that they choose the perfect guy for whatever they want out of the position. I have every faith you will take whatever job you get and run with it. Thank you.

• Kokawa - Hoot! You were one of my first friends in Japan and I will never forget all those times I bothered you about the Kageki Minshutou and asked for your advice. You were a fantastic president, and an even better Emperor. Though I rather dislike Japan at the moment, knowing you were involved with them again gave me some faith that Japan would emerge from the pit it was in. Thank you.

• Oraizan - You remain one of my few female friends in the eWorld. Though you are sadly departed from eRepublik my time with you will not be easily forgotten. It was so nice having someone who wasn’t a horny boy on the internet to talk to. You were a brilliant president, in both Austria and Japan, regardless of what your critics said. And the next time some FoH asshole says bad things about you, do tell and I’ll come out of the grave with a Q5 tank and steamroll them. Thank you.

• Herr Seidel - I would say you were my favorite Narwhal, but you weren’t. Then again, considering of my favorite eFriends, all of the Narwhals (minus Ciacho because he abandoned me ;-; ) are easily in the top 6, I wouldn’t be too sad about that. You were a fantastic friend, comrade in arms, and person. Never forget that! Thank you.

• Veritas Causidicus - Papa Causidicus, what to say about you? Sorry about all the old man jokes? Seriously, though, your quirky sense of humor, your seriousness, and your ability to change between the two and know when to do so made you one of my favorite people to talk to on IRC. Please go on and be the voice of reason for South Korea. They desperately need you. Thank you.

• Sirius/Wladimir/Solar Temple - You guys will never cease to amuse me. The light roleplay is hilarious, and you guys pull it off really well. May the Sun King ever guide you in the right direction, and perhaps elect you to office in a nation that, as I said, really needs a proper voice of reason.


Now, you might have noticed a few holes in my thank yous and recognitions. I chose to single out a few individuals who have really just been indescribable in their friendship.

• JaFe - Thought I forgot you, eh? How could I after all you’ve done? Our banter about your facial horn and the eWorld in general has always been high points in my day. You are my favorite Narwhal, and I know that the eWorld is safe from Cthulu so long as you are around. If you ever finally run for President, tell me somehow because I will crawl out of my grave just to vote for you. That you haven’t gotten that medal on your profile yet is ridiculous. Also, to you I leave Keiko Palace, in the hopes that it may find some good use in your future. Don’t forget to water my hydrangeas! Thank you.

• Alfagrem - Where do I start with you…? You were like an eFather to me, even if I was older than you in-game. You were always there when I needed you. You could rub two gold together to make a third. You could topple small government with your might. I didn’t believe anyone could have so many talents in a single body. Then I met you. You do the right thing as best you can, and you are fiercely loyal. Unlike most everyone in this game, I can trust you to keep your word. To you I leave the Keiko Fortune, however little it may be, in the knowledge that you will spend it for a good purpose. I am proud to have known you and considered you my friend. Thank you.

• Rangeley - What I have to say to you is much too long and personal to make a part of this article. I’m sure you saw your inbox before you saw this article, but hopefully you listened to my instructions and read through this first. Though I say most of what I want to say to you in the message, I feel the need to note one thing for the general public. Rangeley is like no one else I have ever met in the eWorld or in my life. He has disproved every stereotype I have ever had, and he has proven not just in personality, but in action that he is one of the most capable leaders in the eWorld. If anyone from this point doubts his capabilities, they are a fool. With that, I say: Thank you.

It has been a wonderful journey, eWorld, but as I said, all good things must come to an end. Thank you for all the memories.

For the last time,
