The Sanctuary; Two questions
Wladimir Rascian
This is The Sanctuary
(
😉This is an intermezzo before PTO article...
There are two questions every citizen should ask him/herself:
~Who am I?
~This really resembles my RL diary
Many months ago I was born in eSerbia. Since then many nations fell, many strenghtened, many died. I tried to contribute eSerbia on its way towards glory, but soon realized that all wars, all conquests and alliances benefit only the puppetmasters, heads of state. Every country has its own group of puppetmasters. Their number varies from couple of dozens to a hundred or more. Common citizens are just pawns of chess game which puppetmasters play since the dawn of time.
You can see their struggle during Congress or Presidential elections, you can see their struggle during battles over territories and new resources which will benefit one of group of puppeteers. This is nothing new... Same is IRL.
I realised that I was a bit disappointed in all players. How did we allowed this World to become as lame as that outside our monitor?
I travelled a lot since then. Tried to find a society which does not resembles RL. eSerbia, eHungaria, eIndonesia, eSweden, eCroatia, eUSA,... All the same.
It came to me that the situation is not the same in „smaller“ countries. I tried to observe situation in eIreland, eIsrael and eUrugvay. Nothing interesting there either (I liked eIreland though; It looked to me as if they all know each other there; eUrugvay is so boring... or is it my lack of knowledge of Spanish?).
I decided to move to eCzech Republic, since their country was opened for new citizens. I came there with intention to help rebuild this country destroyed by ePolish armies passing.
There I realised that, although they battled to maintain some level of independence, „Great Powers“ don't allow smaller countries to thrive!
Soon other Serbs started to come in great numbers, as came Hungarians, as came Polaks, as came Romanians... They soon TO all Parties, they started their PTO attempt, which is, by now, already over. Country is in Romanian hands, and majority of RL Czechs fled to Slovakia, a nation that they wanted to unite with before TO teams came from various countries.
When I asked my countryman from one of PTO teams what are they going to do with CZR he said to me some rubbish. He is supported by eSerbian president so he will do exactly what his orders are.
I was tired of finding a nice place to start from the beginning. I moved back to eUSA, to work, think and write. I like the sound of Miami beaches IRL, so Florida is my current home.
~Why do I play eRepublik?

~Bright future of RL seen in eRepublik society?
Sure not because of the eternal struggle of puppetmasters! It is TRAGIC, IT'S RL!
I love to read thoughts of common fellas, dudes, guys and buddies of eWorld. I love to see citizens who think in front of their time, who wish to build the society of the future.
I still hope I'll find e-society free from the first type of players, which allows second type to express themselves. That is the society of the XXII century Earth, and I want to know it.
Until then, I'll watch, read, and write (just a little bit)...
Love the Earth

Don't vote if this bored you. Don't sub if you don't like, cuz I won't get better in writing.

Boom-de-ah-da 🙂
I like this a lot. 🙂
Vladimir you expect to much from this game.
@Melkijades:
Hmm, I don't think so.
There are a lot of smart players, who just lurk the eWorld, and avoid being noticed...
They fit in the daily rutine here as they fit IRL (work, train, buy food, read a couple of articles).
Just a small spark is needed to make them being creative.
Have you noticed that only a couple of dozens citizens comment articles in eSerbia, although there are about 10k active Serbs?
Less conservativism, more open mind and we could make the game more playable, and stayable 🙂

Well said. V + S.
Well, im a newborn in the game, I can´t participate in all it´s complexity yet, but i can see the areas that eRepublick focus.
Your insight is pretty good, i mean, it would be nice if there were some other "ways to play" the game, like not entering wars for example. This game is very war driven, even the economy and taxes has a military purpose attatched to it.
Your sugestions and ideas are really interesting, this game could be much more entertaining than it already seems to be (for the experienced, rich citizens).
@ Melkijades :
No...I agree with Wladimir Rascian. In fact, I'm one of many citizens(that I KNOW of) who "keep very low profile". I do so not because of boredom, etc., so much as the fear of being severely 'ostracized' from my chosen society. In fact...for me, it's even worse.(you notice I comment from org instead of cit)
I am one of(probably) thousands, who joined a military organization and can't get out. The only hope of ever doing so is to advance to high position where you might be allowed to join some other high level fraternity.(politics/advisary)To oppose the 'puppet masters' in public could mean a 'Dishonorable Discharge'(and loss of decent hope within your 'society')
The only thing working for me, so far, is business success...but I seem to be one of the few(most use RL money, only...no brains).
As you point out...where ARE our brains? I appreciate eR being realistic, but can't some of us "reach out" a little? Sure making RL better seems hard...(sometimes impossible)...but how about this simple on line game???????
I'm working on a project with two friends but we must be VERY 'low key'...maybe even move to small country?
No...WAIT!...Why not start an international 'movement' with a very low profile. (I have some ideas)
