Hello, how's it going?
For me it's been an interesting time, I've learned I'm really bad at telling people when I'm burned out and even worse at adding even more to my shoulders. For those who know me well on here you were aware I was dealing with the passing of my mother at the time I was juggling everything. I enjoy burying myself in things to avoid dealing with other things.
Problem was, somewhere along the line I tried to do too much, and instead of backing off a bit, I just added even more. It created a situation where I was staring down the spreadsheets of my eUSA AirDrops, PoD, RDonD, and various other projects along with my business... and just closed my laptop.
Now to avoid the sticky conversations of why and to oversimplify everything I'll just go with burned out. Due to this I am ending every single Community Event hosted by me for the foreseeable future. I really hate to do it, but I want to be around and juggling all that will mean the cycle will continue. I'll settle up with those who took the time to participate in a way that benefits all the players, but there will be no future games.
eUSA AirDrop can continue without issue if people are still interested. My only Muse and Love in this crazy game is our community here in the eUSA and my friends overseas.
I still want to help community games and event though, but I just no longer wish to host them. If someone else has an idea or desire to run games I'm more than willing to throw cc or gold at it. Just for my sanity's sake, not my time.
Hate me, love me, but unapologetically me,
OdyRhy

Heyyyy! Well said, I support every single word here.
Thank you for your support, and being part of the AirDrop family!
Sorry to hear about your mom though. I didn't know that was going on at the time. My condolences
It's rough, but you gotta just remember the memories in a good light not just a sad one.
Anything helping out the community is appreciated. As for yourself and RL, take all the time you need and some R&R, no one will hold it against you and you have much support. o7
Thank you, I have a massive support group, from RL friends to even people on here messaging me and keeping my spirits up! I took the time, I just need to be careful with no overworking myself.
You take care of yourself first and foremost!
Thank you, I am but I also want to help my AirDrop family on here!
Thank you for all you have done. Please take care of yourself and don't overdo it.
A message I'd love to say I do, but we all know I severely suck at doing! I'll get better at balance!
My condolences as well (and a big thank you for this last generous donation).
Thank you for being part of the AirDrop Family and for your condolences.
Thanks for begin part of eWorld community, RL is much more important and i wish you the best of luck and take care of yourself❤
Thanks for being part of the AirDrop family! I took most of the time I needed away, but I also scaled back a lot so my time needed here wouldn't be high again.
Take good care of yourself pls. *hugs*
*hugs* Thank you, I obviously suck at doing this but I'm getting better.
Thanks for the drop, good to see you around. Take it easy
Thanks for being part of the AirDrop fam, Andy.
Good to see you back, and hope all is well.
Thanks George, glad to be back.
Beyond glad to have you back. Relax and enjoy this time around!
Glad to be back and see you again Stormin. You've been busy my friend!
Wishing you all peace and happiness.
Thank you Pfenix, peace will come with time I hope. 🙂
Take some time off to get your RL straight, this game will be here when you have more time.
Thanks you, I took a lot of time off already, and I've scaled back incredibly so to be here.
Welcome back!
Don't worry about giveaways, hop on to train, work, fight, chat, then go about your day. 🙂
I'm still running the AirDrop but a lot of this stuff I'll leave to others who want to do it.
Good that you are back.
Do take care.
Thank you Shiloh13! I will try to be better at it.
Welcome back
Rule 1 RL > erep
Rule 2 if what you are doing in erep is not fun stop it
There will be a quiz later
A guide to the new Daily Challenge which I think was introduced while you were gone
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-doe-daily-missions-2750993
Yeah I was wondering what they were. Just doing my daily stuff I complete way more than is necessary given where you're capped at.
the "value" of getting more than 100 Activity Points is that extra PP may get you more from the Weekly Challenge
Glad to see you Ody
Good to see you as well Arrden.
I'm so sorry about your mom.
I hope you can soon find consolation for that great loss.
take care friend
Thank you, I'm just trying my best to think of the memories in a good light not just "what I'll miss".
Good to see you.

And you as well.
Thankyou for the fun and enjoyment you gave to me and others trying to survive the Pit of Death, it was the highlight of the erep day.
Take care and take time for yourself to remember the good times you and your mother shared, life will never be the same without her, but the memories can help ease things.
Thank you so much for your words, that's exactly what i'm trying to do with her memories, just at times its so hard. But that is exactly what I need to do.
I'm sorry
Be strong
I will be. Thank you.
Sorry for your loss.
I was surprised by how much I was affected by my Dad's passing. It takes time to feel normal again even while I acted like I was doing OK.
Take all the time you need and enjoy the company of all those around you.
I'm sorry you are going through the same, I felt like it would take a while, but knowing others like yourself are on the other side of it close to normal, well it gives me hope. Thank you kindly for sharing.
Howdy and thanks!
Very sorry to hear about your mother's passing.
If you're every willing to host games again, I'd be quite happy to join. I was in 2 of them, and was enrolled in a 3rd. Everyone on my team enjoyed them fully, and we had lots of fun discussing strategies and really loved getting our creative juices flowing writing responses.
