A friend may arise in a most peculiar place

He may be a troll, he may pretend not to be a Greek and that he is Britannia, the way he likes to say it, he may like to troll others, but he has feelings too as you might have guessed. Although this isn't and won't be an emotional story about him, this will be just a depiction of how you can simply begin to miss things that at first point annoy you more or less, later on you begin to familiarize with them and then you begin to adopt them. Well, that's the way of life, we adapt, we make changes and we like to do things that may at first sight be unusual, even if trolling is an art, can it be an art when you have fun trolling each other? It sure can be and that's what the Greek guy proved. He did get annoyed if anyone called him like that, he was sure that "Britannia rules the waves, rule the waves" he kept saying it and then began to return the favor mentioning how a your country is a noncountry. You simply could not resist to have fun and return the favor.

It is proven that you can meet friends in most unusual circumstances known to man, but that doesn't mean you cannot become connected with them, unusual things make things better, they stand out from the average things, the things that make you lose your mind and see only grey things around you. That is averageness.

The story itself begins when I met a very kind individual because I just felt I had to contact her through a private message. Up to that point I never did that, I wasn't used to doing it and I felt like it's a breach into someone's privacy. How wrong I was. I was a bit hyped up, I was feeling quite confident and to my surprise, the other person that I private messaged was a normal girl with ordinary feelings to every other player of eRepublik. And no, do not get me wrong, I did not message her due to the reason she was a female, I was just surprised and a bit overwhelmed she decided to add me as a friend and me being quite unopen at that time, I did discover how you can make friends and from those friends meet new friends in just a glimmer of a second. Things only advanced from that point, the conversation might have been quite short, but the message was given, join this channel, my personal channel and yes, her channel was and still is indeed filled with friendly people that you cannot meet every single day.

If we continue about the Greek fella, he comes into the story now. He was at start regarded from my point of view just as an ordinary citizen who shared a name with all of us, had his own profile. But it turned out he wasn't just an ordinary individual, he was someone that liked to talk to in an unusual way, in a way that he trolled people with the depictions of how great Britain is. The biggest irony although was that he has a Greek name and he did kept saying how that is not true. He liked to refer to himself as an occasional troll that makes fun of others, he was or possibly still is renown for his comics. At this point you might know who I am talking about, if not, that won't influence on anything. Well, onto the main topic. Possibly some were annoyed by him, others might just understand his trolling, but we must see the whole point of this if we want to understand the message of this article. The ordinary things that we may at start not understand, the way they are meant to be and with time we accept them. The time is crucial for everything, continuing with it, then you begin to accept it as something that is part of you.

To troll the individual that trolls you in the same way and have fun at doing it. Some would say that sounds quite odd and peculiar, I will only say that you can have fun everywhere and with whoever you want to. You just have to find the right people, it's not a silly moment, it's just the friendly relationship that you can have with someone. And if you take something for granted, for example his presence on the chat and eRepublik, you can get disappointed very fast. Even if you thought you wouldn't miss him at start, you begin to miss him with time, as the Israeli guy indicated. He did often get trolled how Israel is a noncountry and then he had to listen to the phrases that the Greek often used, but that didn't change his opinion. With time you begin to miss the very basic things, the things that made you laugh and have fun. How weird it sounds, but it's true in all of its meaning. One day he simply disappeared, possibly the game didn't interest him anymore, but that still leaves options for his comeback.

This article may look quite homoerotic, and even if you call it like that, it isn't in no way related to that, but to the things that you begin to miss even though that you at first glimpse think that won't ever happen. Weird imagination human mind has, don't we agree? The Greek is Giorgos Zaikos and this article was written when the Israeli Tom Kafir gave me this marvelous inspiration to write about him and I decided to expand the whole meaning of it - the way I expressed it in the article.

The perfect goodbye to this article would be.

Rule the waves, Britannia, rule the waves!
