If you do, comment below.
Its a week since the introduction of V2. The game is bugged and broken. People are leaving. PTOers are unbanned, and run amok. Conspiracy theories about admin and the !! button. The worst thing is that people are not even interested.
I picked a great cabinet. I have to commend Abdullah_australi, Tifididl, Cannon Ball McGee and Assiel for their work. But to be brutally honest, the rest havent done anything. Which is no reflection on them. I wouldn't want to do anything either with the game in this state. I don't blame them nor should they be blamed.
I planned my Presidential run for over two months, constantly defining and refining plans, policies and procedures. Looks great, looks really organised, but we don't seem to have people willing to put the time in to make it work. Again, I wouldnt blame them either. I have no desire to be here, and considering I spend way too much time on this game, I can only imagine the disinterest of those who spend less.
I can't resign because of the PTO'er. I would love to keep working my ass off, but whats the point? I know I was elected with a responsibility, but I can't and won't do it by myself. If by some miracle people decide that they want to be active and help out purposefully then I'll stay and work with them. Otherwise:
What I will do immediately is:
* Restrict access to all orgs (I'll leave the military orgs to the 3 military lads, and the noob org to abdullah)
* Look for willing volunteers to do some basic jobs
For the rest of the term, I will do the following:
* Respond to pms
* Keep the money market stabilised
* Make any proposals that I am asked to make
* Hand over responsibility to the acting President and/or keep things safe till the next election.
For my friends that I've made, I'll give you my private email to keep in touch. This is a sad day, and a sad time for me and for eRepublik. Although my fiancé will be delighted as she hates this game. Apologies for this action, and for the gross and utter incompetence of a group of professionals in the form of designers and administrators of this game for what you have had to go through through.
Wishing you and Singapore the best,
Tommy Aquinas
Lukewarm President
P.S. Singapore still can into Paris

Miss the goodtimes with you guys.
😘
Thank you for calling me a hardworker. 😃
I'm glad I'm helping you.
@ Elianna, that's exactly the point I was making. People do have real lives. I'm not going to spend hours a day doing stuff by myself, which is what I have been doing this past week.
In the long term, I was always going to leave at the end of this month anyway, not just because I have played too much, but because I actually don't like the way the game operates anymore.
Cabinet update:
Finance: iLord Solomon
Security: Assiel
Community: Abdullah_australi
Foreign Affairs: Elianna Zamir
Defence: Kryteshyft, Bruce Winch, TheDark Ace (I will leave the military in their capable hands. They still have their instructions)
In case anyone is wondering, the question in the title is rhetorical.
Mista and CBM are also going to help out with Foreign Affairs duties.
Yay.
Hmmm,
I was thinking about something like this happening last night...But at the end of the term, rather than after 30% of the way...Sorry to see you go...
You can count on me TommyGun.
It does suck indeed, I had high hopes for Tommy but I cannot blame him for the admins failures. How can he plan a presidential strategy when most the people in the game don't even know how the systems work. Especially since they keep changing them day to day.
Thanks for the compliment.
What i did is really nothing.
Pick me, and let eGOD do the rest... 😛
ill help you if you need like you already know
Sorry to hear Tommy. I hope your predecessor is just as good.
I'm going through the busiest week of my year so far. I'm sorry I couldn'y get involved more.
I dunno what goes on in the mind of PTOers...
