Pathetic and Crybabies: The Tragedy of a Stolen Medal

Day 6,061, 21:29 • Published in USA USA • by Leon Scott Kennedy.

In the vast and complex universe of eRepublik, where politics, economics, and warfare intertwine in a digital tapestry, sometimes a drama emerges worthy of a Greek tragedy. But this time, we're not talking about the fall of an empire or the betrayal of an ally. No, this is the story of a sensitive soul, wounded to the core by the loss of a medal in an air battle. Yes, that pathetic.

Recently, in a burst of bravery (or perhaps just curiosity), I decided to debut my air weapons in a random battle. The result was a SH (Sky Hero) medal added to my collection. So far, so good, right? But no, the tragedy was just beginning. Apparently, this medal, which I naively believed I earned with effort, had an owner. A gentleman, whose name I won't mention out of respect for the pathetic, decided that his honor had been sullied and his property usurped.

The reality is, I barely participate in air battles. My foray was sporadic, an exception rather than a rule.

But this noble and crying warrior decided that my occasional presence was a personal affront.

For a moment, I imagined a world where every player had to ask permission before winning a medal. "Excuse me, can I compete for this SH or does it already have an owner?"

It is fascinating how some individuals can transform a strategy and simulation game into an opera of complaints and laments. The word "pathetic" takes on a new meaning when a player, instead of improving their strategy or accepting defeat with dignity, decides to write a complaint message. And not only that, but they expect one to feel guilty for playing and winning.

To all the pathetic and crybabies: the next time you feel someone has stolen your medal, remember this is a game of competition and strategy. Medals are not private property, and every battle is an opportunity to demonstrate skill, not to claim a divine right. So, instead of wasting your energy on useless complaints, perhaps you should focus on improving your tactics and accept that sometimes, you just lose.

At the end of the day, the real problem is not the "stolen" medal, but some people's inability to accept the reality of a competitive game. So the next time you win a medal and someone calls you a "thief," just smile and remember: you are on the right path. And to the crybabies, I leave a virtual box of tissues and a piece of advice: grow up.
