It is with a heavy heart that I congradulate Dan Heylin on his win last night. I congradulate all the winners of this month's Congressional elections. I hope the 30th Congress will be far more active than the 29th, for all our sakes. I hope each and every Senator makes good on the promises they made in order to get elected. To set a good example of how leaders are suppossed to act and keep our nation on the right track.
I can't say I'm shocked that I lost. I've lost most of the elections I've run in the US. Heck I've lost two elections this month and they were not preety. It seems the only place that I can make any significant impact on a country or even a party is in a distant on a distant continent. I've had the honor of serving three consecutive Congressional terms, and the honor of serving in four different Presidetial Cabinets. I've been everything from Ambassador to Secretary of Embassies to Minister of Foreign Affairs. It sounds like I made quite a career overseas doesn't it? Then why do I keep coming back? It can't be for the freedom from constant trolling. It can't be for the chance to build the next powerhouse political party. It can't be for the intellegent discussions we routinely have on our forums. It can't be for the thousands of loyal and adoring fans. It can't be for the thousands of potential subcribers. The thing that keeps me coming back to this hell hole is the fact that I love being an American.
I may have a bright future halfway around the world, but this is where I was born. I joined because I wanted to fulfill my American dream in America. I will be celebrating two years of eRep in September, and after 720 days of playing this game there are only two options left.
1. Retire for good
2. Keep on playing
I would love to continue, however this is a game, and games are meant to be fun. When a game ceases to be fun, it's time too let go and move on. I hope this game gives me a reason to keep coming back, because I doubt I could stand writting a goodbye article. To be honest no one would read it anyway. Kind of like how this one won't be read. Story of my eLife.

Hope you stay.
Take care if you do not.
I read it.
Get active in the party, and you'll have no need to visit the hellhole that has become the eUS forum. I haven't been seriously active there in over 6 months, yet I've still managed to have the most fun I've ever had in my eLife.
Don't Leave... THAT'S FOR SURE!

Keep on playing. Fight the good fight.
Jamarcus, I hope you stay, but I understand your decision either way.
You've been a great citizen.
I hope you stay Jamarcus. We need more eAmericans like you.
Jamarcus, you are one of the most dedicated people I know. You have made a successful career both overseas and here. How many people can say that they have served in a Congress and different Administrations in two different countries. I hope you stay, and best of luck to you no matter what choice you make
Just remember, it is not about winning or losing, but about the impact that is made. You have certainly made a great impact on eRepublik.
Let's not try to get some change going together Jamarcus, Let's accomplish great things.
So, Go Blue and Go Green.
We need someone who IS you, not LIKE you.
So, Go Blue and Go Green.
We all have a million Ideas, but together we will, not we could or should, find the best ones.
So, Go Blue and Go Green.
Your star power attracts the smartest in the country, because we ALL know what you can and will do for US, and for the U.S.
So, Go Blue and Go Green.
I'm sure, no, I'm certain, your tired of the undemocratic, unjust election system in america, where Independents don't swing votes, and Congress doesn't even vote.
So, Go Blue and Go Green.
Jamarcus, Let's succeed, because this time, I'm not going anywhere, as long as you won't. Don't just have hopes and dreams, not even the american dream, but roll up your sleeves and get down into the mine, with your pick ax in hand. America is a messy business. But we need the experienced to help run things, so that someone ELSE wont cause america to Cave In.
So,Go Blue and Go Green.
It's a dirty Job, we all know well
with it's up's and down's, when there is no oil in the well
But the hard times make the good times that much sweeter
and the journey can be better than the reward.
So, throw in the towel,shower up, get clean.
But the Dirtier you are, the Greener you'll be.
So, Go Blue and Go Green.
I have read this as well. And I agree, America is not very fun. I will celebrate 2 years only a month after you (though some of my time was spent on a different account) and I can understand the frustrations. Personally this game has gotten less and less fun over time and while hopefully V2 will change that I won't hold my breath. However I would urge you to rethink your patriotism if you would, as I have found life in smaller countries is always more fun and I think you can agree. If a community of fellow players will accept you, why not accept them back? And if a community rejects you despite your best efforts and heartfelt support, why not reject them back and leave. Perhaps you don't need to reject America so much as to start hating it, but perhaps you should change your patriotism to a country more appreciative and probably more deserving of such pride? Just a suggestion as I hope you can keep finding fun within this game. It would be such a shame to see another wise elder leave.
Join a better party.
LOL, fingerguns. You are so persistant, and convincing.
c'mon Jamarcus. I remember you when you were with us in eIsrael. One of the best, for sure. 🙂 Give it another chance, you're one of the best.
