My Goodbye, Thanks Y'all🍀

A Few Words Before I Leave

Hello everyone. Some of you may know me, and some of you may not. I'm https://app.warera.io/user/6a242427daafad41f08e5a88 from https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7ba

I started playing this game after spending a long time looking for a political game, but none of the others were as interesting as this one. At least in my opinion.

Here, I found a community. I spent hours here every single day. Talking to people, listening to the lore behind everyone and everything.

I genuinely felt like I was part of this community. I wanted to contribute. I wanted to do something useful.

I wanted to be there for the people who believed in me and supported me even when they didn't have to. They showed me that there are still good people out there.

They gave me opportunities and kept pushing me forward, even though I was still relatively new, especially back then.

I often raised questions about principles and the rules behind what was happening in my country. Some people saw it as an attack. Others understood where I was coming from, and that's okay

I don't know why this game became so close to my heart, and I'm sorry for pouring all of this out here, but I simply want this to be my farewell article. And I'm grateful to everyone who stays until the end, because the list of people I want to thank is a very long one 😅

I've always been interested in diplomacy, and this game gave me the chance to see, at least to some extent, what it looks like. Even if it was only inside a game. Maybe what I did wasn't high diplomacy, and maybe I didn't solve any major problems. But it meant something to me. I'm grateful for every interview I managed to do, and I 'll always regret the ones I'll never get the chance to do :/

The People Who Inspired Me

There are so many OG players in this game who have truly inspired me:

https://app.warera.io/user/6879d778820ed429e1825ffb

I see a lot of myself in you. You don't stay silent when you see something you believe is wrong, and that's something I truly respect. I don't know when I'll publish this article, but I really hope you'll get to read it. I'll definitely remember you. Respect 🙌

The more people speak up and keep raising awareness about something, the greater the chance that everyone's voice will be heard. And that's the foundation of every healthy community

https://app.warera.io/user/695709f595a7333b36597d44

I came across one of your articles https://app.warera.io/article/6a63eaec080d7787b6ad940e, and I'm really glad I took the time to translate and read it. You became a huge inspiration to me 🙏

I'm genuinely sad that I never got the chance to interview you or even have a conversation with you. I wish you all the best in whatever the future brings. I'm sure you'll approach every decision thoughtfully, and I sincerely wish you nothing but success 🫡

https://app.warera.io/user/6813b759efecdf9bab1950cb

I messaged you a couple of times. Honestly, you seemed like one of the bosses around here 😄

I thought it was really cool that you actually replied. I wasn't expecting it. You even liked my article when I asked you to, so thank you for that. I don't really know your lore, but you definitely deserve a mention 💪

https://app.warera.io/user/6840719c83d6e0c62c8d1fb3

The father of memes

I honestly don't know what else to add without repeating myself. You already know 😄

(I wanted to insert some meme but I just don't have brain for that😒)

Even though I never really talked to most of these people, I'm still glad they were here. Somehow, they made this game a much more interesting place

Back to the story

I'm 17 years old, which many of you probably didn't know. Most people I spent time with in the Serbian community were older than me, and I'm genuinely grateful for everything they taught me.

The problem is that I've been investing too much time into this game, and I just can't find a healthy balance. The days keep passing, and I don't feel good about it. Part of me does, but another part doesn't. Because real life happens outside of this game

There were moments when I wanted to quit, but this community and the people in it always made me stay

I've always wanted to become a MoFA. I know the point isn't simply having a position, but to me it always felt like a milestone I wanted to reach

Now let's move on to the interviews I had the opportunity to do with the presidents of different countries.

Interviews I'll Never Forget

Thank you to the President of Finland https://app.warera.io/user/69bced00e01eb035977d0e20

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to interview you even though I had no experience or achievements before that.

One thing you said has stayed with me. You told me that the most important lesson is the importance of communication, and that community management is the most important part of leading a country.

The whole interview felt relaxed, and I genuinely enjoyed it. Thank you.

Thank you to the President of Germany https://app.warera.io/user/69761c39b282f74bb0d39ceb

Thank you for being so chill. You're genuinely a great guy.

Honestly, I thought it would be much harder to reach the President of Germany than it actually was 😅 https://app.warera.io/user/69a5a9409faeec546bf4944a told me you'd probably be open to an interview, so thanks to him as well for giving me that little push to message you.

This ended up being one of the longest and most challenging interviews I did, so thank you for taking the time to answer everything in such detail.

I'll definitely remember what you said about transparency being one of the most important things, and your advice to new players to join Foreign Affairs if they ever get elected to Congress, because that's one of the best places to learn how the government actually works.

Thank you once again.

Thank you to the Pope of the Vatican https://app.warera.io/user/697b1c3375e83770b288d1db

Crowley, a little forgetful, but a genuinely good person.

Honest. Direct. Respect.

The Vatican always seemed like one of the most interesting countries to me, and it's also where I met some truly amazing people.

I wish all of you the very best in the future.

God bless🙏

Btw, https://app.warera.io/user/697d4b941d1903386f722eae, good luck leading the Vatican 🫡 Keep the schizo politics going 💪

Thank you to the President of Thailand https://app.warera.io/user/69a5cfe665f1b8bd9492123a

I'm sorry to you and whole https://app.warera.io/country/683ddd2c24b5a2e114af1609 community I won't be able to finish what I started..

Thank you for being willing to do the interview, and I wish you all the best! :/

The People Behind My Journey

First of all, I want to thank someone who has been there for me since the very beginning:

https://app.warera.io/user/696d4bc39fcc1dc99e84a0c0

Thank you for always giving me advice so selflessly, and for never making me feel like I was bothering you, even when I probably was 🥲

If someone asked me what makes this world a better place, I'd say it's people like you. You truly mean a lot to me

Right after him comes the first person who welcomed me into the community, someone who became my role model and the leader of https://app.warera.io/party/6a219c3ea78955565cbb7f0a

https://app.warera.io/user/69887cd514220c9fec412ad0 (Ladz)

I don't even know how to describe the feeling when you replied to one of my questions for the first time, but you've always been supportive. You always tried to make sure everyone felt and is included, and you're genuinely an amazing person🍀

Thank you for everything, Ladz. I truly appreciate every moment and every lesson.

https://app.warera.io/user/696f63df2b85f46da385ad36

My biggest role model

When I joined, you were the MoFA. You were always calm, and whenever we talked, I never felt like you were looking down on me or treating me differently.

You were trying to improve relationships within the community while I was publishing public criticism articles 😅

I definitely didn't make your job any easier

But despite that, you were always there to explain things to me. You never treated people differently depending on who they were.

I wish you all the best as the President of Serbia🍀

I'm sorry I won't be there to see it. I know you'll do a great job :/

If someone asked me what kind of person I'd like to become one day, my answer would simply be:

Fila.

https://app.warera.io/user/69949042299f8cd754215c6d

You were also one of the first people who reached out to me and helped me understand how everything worked, don't know if you remember me.

Even though we later had some disagreements, not directly, but through a few public criticism articles I wrote, I genuinely have nothing against you.

You're a great person, and I'm glad you helped me when I was new.

https://app.warera.io/user/6993b905cd957d3e93bc35a6

You're insanely smart. I have a lot of respect for everything you've done, and everything you're still doing for Serbia

A true mastermind when it comes to the military and the game

To keep this article from becoming even longer, I'll mention everyone else from the party together

I got along with many other people as well. Even with those I sometimes disagreed with, I never had anything personal against them. I simply never got the chance to build a closer relationship

They all genuinely seem like great people, and I'd gladly hang out with any of them

https://app.warera.io/user/6a1bf4581422f4d4957f75b5

An absolute legend

He gifted me my very first subscription with the message:

"Your Congress campaign has to be in color" (The translation lacks authenticity 😅)

We were running for Congress at the time, and he noticed I was the only one without a subscription, so he simply bought one for me

That was the first time something like that had ever happened to me

I'm truly grateful for that, and for all the support

Discord just isn't the same without you :/

https://app.warera.io/user/6a1af55f908a9f8161b06f1d

I've met so many selfless people here who simply wanted to see others succeed for no special reason.

You're one of them

You gave me a platform, you gave me people

You supported my articles from the very beginning, just like Mato did. Both of you are absolute legends.

You even came up with the idea of giving away 10 subscriptions through me so more people would follow me and my articles could reach a bigger audience

When I started working on that article, I wanted to make sure it was actually worthy of that support.

In the end, you gave away 13 subscriptions🥲

You proved that even one good deed can mean a lot to someone

You're another example of someone who makes this world a better place

https://app.warera.io/user/6a23bbecff0d1540d69a7d12

This guy is insane 😂

Always funny, always supportive

The kind of person who would fight for you

Honestly, you chased opportunities for me more than I chased them myself

Thank you for always wanting to see me succeed

If you ever need someone to get something done...

He's your guy🙌

https://app.warera.io/user/69773df381af219a7083f346

Maybe there were conflicts between Serbia and Mali in the past. I know the story

But no one can convince me that you are bad

You're an amazing person, and thank you for everything 🙌

And everyone else in the party and community 🍀

There's so much I could say about so many people

I'll simply say this:

Thank you

Thank you for every reply, every conversation, every bit of support, and everything else

I honestly can't put into words how grateful I am

You're genuinely good people

https://app.warera.io/user/69a5a9409faeec546bf4944a

A special Thank You goes to Mata, a former MoFA, who never ignored my messages.

You helped me so much

You were always open to talking

You supported me

You were genuinely happy for me

What I liked the most was that you never gave me generic answers. You actually took your time.

You put real thought into your replies, and you showed that you cared. You made my days better more than once

I'll miss you :/

https://app.warera.io/user/69a45ede5859d8e928781710

You're such a kind person, Thank You for everything. There's just something about your energy

I don't know how to explain it, but every time we talked, I left the conversation feeling more positive.

I wish you all the best

And in my opinion, you're an amazing MoFA

The best ❤️

https://app.warera.io/user/69ce63dd1870cabf4a5c4b8c

Former Pope of the Vatican.

People, I've genuinely never met someone more gentle than Motyl

Everyone should have a Motyl in their life 😄🍀

I'm really grateful that I had the chance to talk with you. Truly 🤗

https://app.warera.io/user/69df64f26aef50deba7eb161

Thank you for sharing the giveaway and supporting the whole idea

You were genuinely kind, and that support meant a lot to me

https://app.warera.io/user/6a15ec7c02778499dcb357c7

Thank you for sharing the giveaway as well. Maybe you think it was just a small thing. But to me, it wasn't

It genuinely meant a lot, and you seem like a really cool guy

I'd also like to thank the following players

I'm sorry I can't write a personal message for every single one of you, but you know what you're being thanked for ❤️

https://app.warera.io/user/68e52840f23d7a975dd7988d,

https://app.warera.io/user/69df54126aef50deba65687f,

https://app.warera.io/user/69820c895312557c1f363ab7,

https://app.warera.io/user/68bf174cc687aa6c30c46de5,

https://app.warera.io/user/69e383a55c9d6674907979cf

I'm sure I've forgotten someone, and I'm sorry if I did🫠

There are simply too many people who made this journey memorable 😅🙏

I could also write a whole retrospective about everything I managed to do during my time here

But this article is already long enough..

Final Words

Thank you to this entire community, once again

Never think that your voice doesn't matter, because it truly does

The articles I published when I was only level 15 proved that to me

I'm sad to leave, but I'm grateful for this experience and for every single person I had the chance to meet

Stay positive

Spread optimism

Why choose to be negative, rude, or hostile when people can remember you for the good you've done instead?

If you can make someone feel better, help them, or simply make their day a little brighter, that's worth far more than being remembered for treating people badly

(Btw this is also the first article I've written with 0% AI, except for the translation and the headings) :,)

I also feel like I've learned a lot during my time here, not only in the game, but in real life as well

I've received genuine life advice, and I'll carry a lot of those lessons with me

Wishing everyone the best of luck, and have an amazing summer!

Goodbye. 🍀🫡
