Day 581, 05:39 • Published in Japan Denmark • by Oraizan

It has been 18 days since I last wrote... Many people have been sending me private messages to write with an update so here it is.



Congress
I will be running in Kanto again. To be honest I have had the thought of quitting eRepublik due to reasons which I will explain later in this article, but I have spoken with many people who have given me the nerve to run yet another term in Kanto.

Should you be in Kanto, vote for your favorite Oraizan. 🙂

There are a few other people I want to vouch for while I have the time. I realize that I usually get a ton of votes and it is normal for myself. There ARE other candidates that even I find amazing.

For one, Jafarin in Jeollabuk-do (TFC). Even though his broken english has sometimes given me a headache, he always has amazing idea's. If you live in Jeollabuk-do he is definitely worth your vote.

Tohru (ISP) and Geno (OP), both running in Kinki. They have both been close friends of mine for a long time, and I have grown to love their approach to everything and anything. Tohru is always around the IRC and forums (and has done things for me). Geno is always around and supportive of anybody and everybody.

Lauri Mursu running in Tohoku. Although I have fought with this citizen before and disagreed on many things, he is a hardworking honest citizen. Someone who is active and will not be a wasted vote.

Don't forget Akki, running in Kanto. I began to know Akki around his last term as president, and although I have disagreed with his last few terms as president, he still has always done what is best for Japan.

These are people I believe won't waste your vote. 🙂



Health
I never really wanted to publicly make the fact known that In Real Life I have health problems. I don't really like pity and such just because of it. Many people have been sending me messages as to what it really is ever since a argument on an article. Here is your very brief information...

Yes I am sick, or rather ill as my family likes to say. I was actually born with this, and I am pretty much used to the regular side effects. Eh, it is a little nerving to actually tell you what is wrong. Well, I was born with a hole in my heart in any-case. I have been on medication for it since a young age, but as we know that is not the only answer.

Anyways, I don't want to touch this topic too much. My problems are the reason I am who I am today, so I do not feel horrible for having them, I am just ill.

I am sure many of you have noticed that I have not given my usual 200% activity. I have lowered it to a regular activity rate for the time being. I have been in-and-out of the hospital a few times this week, and some the week before. While I have been gone I was not irresponsible. I left Tohru and Minamoto some of my duties. I trust that they have done a good job, as they always do. I have been around and reading the forums and commenting where necessary. If I should ever miss something, feel free to message me a link and I will take a look.

I will still be here and participating, fulfilling my duties as a congress and cabinet member. I just cannot promise to be here 24/7 like usual for a little time.

As I said earlier, this is one of the reasons I have thought of quitting eRepublik. Stress is something I cannot handle, and when it happens my heart takes over. eRepublik has been nothing but un-kind to me lately (save for those who are amazing and continuously support me) and I don't really want to have problems physically over a game where I am seemingly unwanted by few. I am sure many of you would agree, me being ill isn't worth it. But I am still here, and I will still run and give eRepublik everything I have left.



Should I not be around, Tohru or Minamoto will most likely be able to help you in my place. Should you only want something from me, send me a private message. I will respond ASAP to any message. Tohru is the person who will most likely know what I am doing, should you feel nosey.
