Sportsmanship.

Dear Journal,

So around a week ago I moved over to eSerbia to start some RW for the eUSA. Unfortunately, some of the plans did not work out exactly as planned, and we had to wait. This happened again a couple of times; someone involved kept making a mistake or saying to wait for tomorrow.

So, while I am in eSerbia, everyone here started a prank; thousands of donations. I was quite surprised at first, and started talking to lots of Serbs because of this. It is quite an epic prank. I am still getting donations coming in several times each day. 😁

Now, I saw this article today: Zbogom Max McFarland 2, putuj igumane!.

Apparently Wayman saw something I said on the eUS Forum and misunderstood. It's ok. These things happen across the language barrier. Some people see something, assume the worst, and strike before they think it over. It happens. I understand. 😁

The forum thread, titled Let's get Serbia banned was started by one of our famous eUSA citizens, Emerick. Some eUSA citizens have shown support for me in their own way, which is nice, even if I do not share their methods. Now, Wayman, when he read this, misunderstood my comment in this forum thread, and thought I have been reporting Serbians who sent donations. That's silly. The citizens of eSerbia mass-organized for a good joke; why would I respond in a malicious manner? It makes no sense. It would be incredible rude. It would be poor sportsmanship.

So, if you read my comment there, I said 3 things:
1. I am keeping a short list of people who happened to be banned sometime after they sent donations. I found these people as I went through my donations list to send friend requests. They were already banned, on their own, not because I did anything.
2. I have plans to use the names for an article later on, daring the admins to a game of chicken. This is a simple challenge from me to the Admins, which does not harm or risk anything but my account and their reputation. It's simple. I want to see if they will enforce the rules on keeping multi cash, since they have been uncommonly generous to me in the past.
3. I said the Admins response to one of the tickets submitted by another citizen was funny, because it was. Sometimes the Admins have a solid sense of humour.

So, please, relax. I can take a good joke, I don't take it personally, and I have enjoyed my vacation here in eSerbia. I intended to come here for a day to start some RW, it has expanded into a vacation, because eSerbia has turned out to be a fun community. Am I here permanently? No, I am on the eUS team. Am I fighting for eSerbia and helping eSerbia while I wait here on vacation? Yes, after such a warm welcome in the game and on IRC, the least I could do is to be a courteous guest, for some people who have such good spirit for the game. It is fun to meet new people from new countries. 😁

I am sorry for any confusion. I hope we can continue to have fun while it lasts. I am sure you can understand this. So please, relax, and enjoy the game. I am not going to try to get anyone banned. That is poor sportsmanship. Any attacks such as RW or battles will be in the open. 😁

Cheers. ^_~

V/r,
