what why

Appropriate theme music:

I don't actually know why I'm still logging in. My last contribution in congress PMs was apparently more than 9 days ago. I have no excuse, I've been logging in, I've been reading everything, I'm even in that RW PM where I've also read and followed everything going on but have not contributed myself. Not one support button was pressed by me.

I have come to the startling conclusion that I do not actually care at all anymore. UKPP's bribery leaks didn't get me even marginally aroused.

It would seem by the state of the congress PM as it is a lot of others seem to be going through a similar limbo since democracy came back. I'm just going to be the first to admit to myself that it all is a bit pointless for me.

So I'm resigning from congress and whatever other crap I'm in so if govt could at some point remove me from that PM, the cabinet PM and the RW starting PM that would be grand. This is a necessary step to see if I actually am going to leave the game entirely or not, because seeing as I don't contribute to them anyway I may as well be entirely aware of what my eReality actually consists of at the moment. And not compulsively reading things I have no real feelings towards shortens my visits a lil bit which will mean I can spend more time furiously mass debating.

I don't write this to get sympathy or anything, just thought some might be interested to know that I'm likely going to slowly disappear. I will alert folk if I decide the two clicking must also cease and I must head into the eAbyss

Ta and that

-Rob the Bruce
If somebody wants to reserve the privilege of getting almost all of my money and assets when I finally leave completely (if that happens), you'll have to write me a touching tribute article. The best one gets everything that I don't give to Fata as repayment for my TGs (Fata will 100g cover it or nah?)

You are just voicing the opinion of the majority, I've been in 2-click since starting uni. The game is terrible and you get bored of the same old community eventually (not that the community is bad, but it's the same stuff each month pretty much).

I'll miss you if you leave though.

so true.

Sad face.

The only reason I am still here is the plan to be the eUK number one citizen which I plan to achieve by having a high boredom tolerance level and everyone above me in the chart quiting first...

Pannonian Nomad Day 3,255, 00:24

Good luck with that, I am waiting for everyone to leave and then I'll get elected as CP

VoodooMike71 Day 3,255, 09:16

Join ESO - we'll get you elected 😉

It's a trap!

Apathetik Day 3,254, 21:26

That was my state of mind when I quit years ago and why I changed my name to what it is now. I get the same feeling at this time of year - around Sept/Oct no matter what I am playing. This year I quit Warframe, and last year it was Firefall for example.

For me at least it's a natural thing to know I am not making the best use of my time playing games.

Rob the Bruce Day 3,255, 10:13

I quit warframe after they did that silly update which meant I couldn't make any sense of the map anymore

certacito Day 3,255, 00:25

Apathetik is quite correct - this *is* the season when many fall by the wayside. Shorter days, the drop in temperature, monsoonal rain - and the busy season at work - all contribute to the mortality rate....

So Rob - do not think about yourself - think about your fellow warriors in the slit trench next to you. What keeps US going is the companionship and cameraderie of our fellows - and you have been one of the most staunch defenders of eUK over the past coupe of years. Please don't die on us - and if you have to go - just have a vacation and come back to us refreshed and ready to re-engage....!
