The Day the Music Died
Bia Pandora
Hi Friends,
There comes a time for all of us when we log in...and the music has died.
I don't think it's much of a secret that it has been difficult at best, for me to find much entertainment value in this game for awhile now.
The sunshine and stars that exist here for me anymore are the players themselves. I just do not feel like the players themselves matter anymore to the game. Honestly, I know we don't.
I have so much to do in my life daily now, I'm super stressed, and honestly I cannot relax here anymore. There is always some silly crap perpetuated by some hateful child, or another. It's tiring, and I just can't allow that negativity in my life anymore...it's too much. It is overpowering anything good left in this game.
I had this giant rage quit article written, complete with screenshots, and was actually going to host it somewhere so that it could be viewed by all without worrying about "moderators" removing it. But then I realized that going out like that would go against everything that I stood for in this game.
Do NOT think for a minute that I don't want to twist some nuts on my way out, just thank your eGods that I am choosing the high road. You know who you are.
I think back to how much time I've spent here, and the people I have known. I feel a bit silly that I am tearing up like a kid. Some of you....just wow. You have no idea how special you are. I see you, I've always seen you. Even in your despair, anger, boredom and loneliness you found a place in your time for me. Too often, we don't stop to realize how much it means to simply see another human being type a kind word, to see that someone so far away can care enough to ask you how your day has been. Never underestimate how wonderful you all are, you have guided me through some pretty rough moments in real life, where I didn't trust myself to people close by. You offered me friendship, comfort and compassion...and you have never even touched my face, or held my hand. You have meant more to me than you will ever know. You know who you are, and know that I adore you all.
Do something for me....take the time to let one other person on this game know that they are special somehow every day. It could make all the difference in the world to them. It did to me. Thank you!
I wish I had more to give away on my way out, I owe a little bit to a couple of people that left and thought of me, and now they are back and active, and what I have will go to them. Sorry that I cannot do more.
One last truth...I've seen alot of things and been around a bit, the eUS Military, or JCS Forces for those that would try to steal their honor, are the way to go if you want to meet some honest to goodness decent people.
Semper Fi, my friends
****HUGS All Around! Be nice to each other!****

Bye Bia! Thanks for stopping by in the Marines for a short while, you're always a wonderful addition to any IRC room. Best of luck IRL
Sad to see you go, but RL is much more important than this game
Though if you could stop in once in a while and say hi, we would all appreciate it
we will miss you Bia.
Semper Fi !!
gl in RL
omg... i... *tear*
Bia, words can't express how much I love and adore you. I wish you could understand how much of an impact you've had on me these past couple of years. I understand the need to get away, when erep just isn't worth the stress and upset that it brings, when life demands that all your energy be focused on it. You are one of the most amazing people I have known.
I am truly going to miss you with all my heart. I really hope we will stay in touch. Good luck dearest. *Hugs*
gdi. this is only the second goodbye in over 3 years that has actually made me cry.
I love you Bia.
I've said this to only a few...
To Bia, my friend;
Someday, whether it be soon or years from now, my fond wish is that something will cause you to remember something I said or did here and you will smile. The person you are with at that moment will ask, "What are you smiling about?" and you will say, "Oh, nothing.".
Also... What the hell's going on??? I can't believe you spent the time to find the cool pics and then nobody puts the music link here. Do I gotta do everything myself?

o7 I didn't really get the chance to know you, but you are legendary. Best of luck in RL. Clearly you have made a difference here.
MARINES NEVER DIE !
Semper FI ! O7

good luck
Nope, not allowed
🙁
This might be the worst day in eRep history.
//wave
There goes all the beauty of erepublik.
Love ya lot's Bia, hope u going to keep in touch on IRC or FB
MWA
You'll be missed Bia!
Be safe and be well Bia; Rl must always come first though hopefully you will reconsider and continue playing. Semper fi & Carpe diem!
Farewell, Bia. You have been an inspiration to many. I will recall this day, when the music died...
Semper Fi!
well this sucks
We will miss you Bia 🙁 Lots of hugs !!
We'll miss you 🙁
I won't say goodbye. Just see you later.
Big change from your last article 10 days ago and 2.5 years is a long time to put in. Becoming a two-clicker for a while might be better than starting something else to fill in time.
Best of luck. Hugs
Didn't know you like that, but always sad to see a good playa go. Have fun in your future endeavours!
Take a proper break sweety. Took me 6 months off to be able to enjoy it again. You'll be missed, but you'll be back with a different perspective. Hug.
