This is why we can't have nice things:
Greatmoff
I know that some people have been asking questions about me lately and why I haven’t been around much. I also know there have been some rumours.
There are two reasons why I haven’t been around much lately. The first is that University has started back up for me. This reduces the amount of time I can spend on erep, however not to the extent that I would be unable to do my duties, and do them well at that. The second and bigger problem is motivation and that is what I’m about to go into in more detail. I apologise if this is long winded, but it is something I need to say, and it is something I need to say in detail. I have put crucial bits in bold so you can skim through to get the jist of it.
I don’t believe that is any great secret that Japan is in a pretty poor state financially. I was MoFA of Japan last month under Nowe and retained the position this month. As I was looking to sign MPPs for Japan I took a particular interest in Japan’s finances or lack of finances rather and decided to do something about it myself. By using my own finances I bought and sold goods on the markets making use of the international markets with all of the profits to go towards helping Japan.
This worked fine, however I decided that I could probably make far more money by using the monetary market. For this reason I requested of the president (Nowe at the time) that he gives me access to an org I could use for this purpose.
When Hizaya got elected president I informed him early on about this:

The problems started a week later:

Here you can see him clearly deny that he has access to the org that I was using with my own money for the good of Japan. You can also notice that he claims the mysterious money he has found and is using has come from another org he has found.
Moving on....

Here you notice that my money hasn’t actually been touched until coincidentally I have pointed out to Hizaya that the money is still there.
When I chase Hizaya the next day about my org this is the explanation he gives:

Here he changes his story about where the money he’s been spending has come from. First it was orgs, now he claims it was his own.

I had asked Hizaya to send a ticket explaining the supposed ‘hack’ of the org so that the admins could if that was indeed the case return my money. However as you see here he claims to have ‘forgotten’ to do so.
I think this all looks very suspicious. I mean the org I was using was lost. The money wasn’t taken until I pointed out to Hizaya it was still untouched. Hizaya completely denied to me that he had in anyway touched the org I was using.
The final piece of proof I have i received are logs received from Squibeel of a conversation he had with Hizaya:
September 18th

[21:44]
[21:44]
[21:44]
[21:44]
[21:44]

[21:44]
Here Hizaya admitts that he was the one who took control of the org that I was using with my own money to try and help Japan. The org from which 100k cc of my own money was removed.
Summary
A few things spring to mind for me now. Firstly I think of the expression ‘Don’t bite the hand that feeds you’. I am the MoFA for Japan. I was risking up to 200k cc, my entire savings from 2 and a half years of playing erepublik in order to try and help Japan out. On top of this I was an active minister for Japan, and one of its top soldiers. I fight for the national military of Japan and haven’t once claimed supply.
The second thing I think is that really it shouldn’t surprise me. Just because you try and do something to help someone doesn’t mean that they won’t try and screw you over. In a sense it was my fault for trusting someone. The truth is the large part of this game is dictated by racists, idiots and trolls (I speak from experience at alliance level).
As a result of all this I would first of all like to congratulate Hizaya.
It is because of people like you that we cannot have nice things.
I hereby resign as MoFA of Japan.
I hereby resign as MC of COT
I have lost the motivation to continue playing an active role in this game. I will now go into two click mode and try and save up my money again. Perhaps I will decide to continue playing this game actively again, or perhaps this is just a sign that it is time for me at long last to quit this game.
Thank you for taking advantage of and betraying me.

Edit:The Gdoc with all logs between me and Haziya regarding orgs and money can be found here. There is a little bit more than is included in the article, included a conversation he had with Darshu where he again changed what he claims happened.

wow... major suckage :/
Hate to loose ya but can totally understand
200k over two years? You be poor, yo.
Oh and sup, Tyrr-anus.
I'm honestly sorry to see you go....this makes things 10 times tougher for me...but I understand.
Lol.
All I can say.
Well i won't deny the fact that i lied about having e-mail swapped it.
I'm very sorry to see what happened. You didn't deserved that at all and in the time I knew you, you came over as a dedicated player that put his full attention to his responsibilities.
It's a genuine shame what happened, and to see you go. All the best. o7
Lol.
All I can say. x2
I can not believe this!
:- (
🙁
You deserved better treatment for your service.
If I can help please message me.
That's life dear guy. Always bastar*s around the corner. Good societies have a better chance in containing those😁
Glad you spoke up though, the best way to handle this!
Haha jew got robbed
This really sucks. We do not want you as Ambassador in Norway and look forward for a new one.
true story.... sad story!
: |
It's all great and all, but what's the other side of the story? I mean..... does hizaya have an explaination because those logs, even if you can make it seem that way with your text, do not exactly mean what you say they mean.
tl;dr, wait for hizaya to give an explaination.
[removed]
well, it is good for me not choosing hizaya last month lol
I am surprised that I am not responsible for that. But i will waiting for Hizaya's story.
Greatmoff! If you are sad always remember, that the situation would be much worse with Geezus as CP!
And you were able to save Japan against me on the last election. Its worth 200k, or not? 🙂
Life is fair! 🙂
Sad to see you go
Japan is losing a very good player in all his roles
CoT is losing a very promising MC
any new CP can claim admins for all the national ORGs' access, this is how Argentina lost all the money of it bank this month. I can talk as ex CP
it's obvious Hizaya got the ORG's access
"You deserved better treatment for your service.
If I can help please message me." (x2)
What a terrible way of losing a player.
This is sad indeed. This has happened in so many eCountries, it must be obvious by now how wrong it is to let one person have complete access to and control over all of a nation's assets.
@bATRA
Not an official statement, but we'll be waiting for Hizaya´s version of the history.
Well I'm glad I didn't vote for Hizaya.
In the words of the Evil Emporer from Star Wars...
"only in the end do you understand...."
Yes. It is an example why many experienced players are now in 2 click mode.
This happens in eRep in a daily basis. It is a lot easier and lot more profitable to play for yourself than to play for the community. I'm sorry you were affected so badly by this.
Let's focus on how to move forward.
Is there a way to convince GreatMoff to return?
Will Hizaya return the funds?
Who will run for CP in the next election?
Will Hizaya scoot with everything knowing that there is now very little chance of retaining any modicum of respect?
...
*I remember this guy saying if Geezus became CP he'd rage quit.
Picture me laughing pretty hard right now.
Greatmoff, imho this game is loosing a valuable player. I don't have to tell you that I respect you because you know. But this time I make an exception... I hate the way some people are reacting here( really FriedRice?!) I also wonder how a player can keep on playing when he knowingly is steeling other ones money? I hope to see you come back in the near future but if you do decide to stop just remember that you have a friend in Belgium 🙂
3 greatmoff, and I have a banana ready for the thief anytime he wants to come get it. It won't ge going in his mouth.
Yer right geezus, it would be worse with you as CP, and when ya put it that way.. I would consider 200k a good value to keep you away from any leadership roles... but Im not moff
*I remember this guy saying if Geezus became CP he'd rage quit.
Picture me laughing pretty hard right now. x2
Way to go Japan! o/
F**k up all the people that are helping you, and support the ones that want to rob you.
logic.
Greatmoff, you've done a great deal for our country and for CoT. We won't forget that. This is disgraceful treatment and you aren't wrong to be outraged. Take a break for now, and perhaps by the time you return, the rising sun will be ready to rise again.
what a sneaky bastard .__."
that does bite
alienating good players is a great way to ruin the team
i've seen plenty of that in this game already
~hyuu~
goodbye GreatMuff. I will miss you. xoxo
