WhydoIbotherToo
2000 days ago I wrote this article: https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/why-bother-playing--2531824 2000 days and I logged in every day. 2000 clicks of the work button, 2000 days worth of clicks on the red fight button. 2000 inconsequential days coming here and reading wall posts by friends, MU mates, Party associates and Country Officials. 2000 reasons to wonder Why Do I Bother to continue to log into a game that continues to slowly dwindle away.
In those 2000 days I have done many things, I have served in Congress, been the Commanding Officer of a Military Unit and have even been Country President twice. What is left for me to do in this game? Honestly there is nothing left for me to do. I just go through the motions. I log in, click the shiny buttons, read articles, scroll through the feeds, click a few like buttons, maybe drop a comment or two then go back to whatever Real Life stuff I was doing and repeat this behavior several times throughout the day.
2000 days and I still have that same fundamental question... why do I bother logging in here daily. I still have no answers and in all honesty, over the last few weeks, it has become increasingly more nagging of a question as those left in this social experiment of a game devolve into more and more boorish behavior. Is this really how I want to spend my free time? I don't know any more.
Tell me readers, what keeps you logging into this game day after day? What makes you want to keep coming back to a place that is devolving into a cesspool of narcissistic blowhards that believe they are bigger than the sandbox? What gives you joy in this pixel world?
Drop a comment below answering any of the above questions. I will pick my 5 favorite answers and pay those people 20k cc on day 4780.

First reserved for 2000 days of clicking buttons
I like to f§$% things up.
Get people to re-think and re-evaluate the "truth" they believe in.
I also like to troll and spend money on packs, buy accounts etc.
Always wanting to do the unexpected!
But I could never be 2000 days here, no way. I take breaks.
(left the game many times, but here I am again)
The most important thing:
I LOVE RAINY!
Do you love rainy sunday? ☔ ❤

The One America needs, now more then ever!
For the most part I have been enjoying getting involved in ways I have not in the past. Trying to find something new to get involved in.

I enjoy hearing Malpazar is having a good time getting involved.
There's no reason to sit and stagnate. If you're not content where you are, change your vantage.
I did. 4 days ago.
You are right
Love, the best in this article is you coming here...
Call me!
I know there's nothing left to be
I know there is no Use
There is no forever and ever
Can't fix what once was whole...

SSK sını yatırsan şimdi emekli olmuştun
I started to get to that point, then I listened to a podcast and even participated a bit. It breathed life into the game for me.
I even ordered a mic from Amazon, yet have not dropped a dime on this game.
you got a free mic from Amazon? cool

Sunk cost fallacy
The people are fun when we don't take things too seriously
V!!
why bother playing
o7
I stick around to correct stupid people
Real life sucks. Pixel life can be boring sometimes, but it never sucks!
where else can I get my silly stories published?
but seriously, the art came first, I do not need this site to get exposure for it, but too expand my concept beyond just the artwork this site actually presents me a great platform (I just have to do the work, which slowly I am)
Even though I disagree with George/Trite on almost everything and we get along like oil and water, my approach to the game is similar to his in the aspect that he mentions above.
It is a relatively harmless platform for me to have fun playing with words, images, ideas.

And January will be AWESOME!

I love that trite and RF both enjoy the sand
I don't like the sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating--not like you. You're soft and smooth.
Ah. Kobble, you need to learn more about wondrous Sand. I especially like singing sand.

For me, I come here because I truly believe, as foolish as it might sound, that there are people here who care about the others in this community. I like to tap into their energy and create a world that we simply cannot get in real life. The narcissistic blowhards are all around us in real life. If you want an example just look at the real U.S. Congress. I come here hoping for something better, and seeing much of the same.
I come here to inspire and be inspired. Yes, like any human being I have my faults, and at times I may act out in an immature fashion, but I also believe we are all entitled to those moments. And I know we all have them. What is important is that we blow off steam and get back to business, back to building and strengthening our community.
That is why I log in every day.

I hereby request to be in the Fed Primaries.
Thank you,
I'm honored you already support me.
So Proud, so Horny!
I have some good friends here. I love Bear Cavalry too, but I think I mostly log in to do what I can to protect the eUS and SFP from the likes of the current administration...
