kide83 was eRepublik Elite Citizen - A badge which is given after reaching experience level 100 and completing relevant mission. Kide83 was born on June 6th 2009, but after a day or two he was missing, presumed dead. He has returned about a month later and stayed active since then. At some point near the end of his life, he was renamed A G U S.
Early Beginnings and Society Medals Period
After a few months of learning the basics kide83 became interested in helping Serbian community grow. Serbia was a rising force at that time with hundreds of new players joining weekly as a result of Lipec's baby booms... Kide83 used his web design and marketing knowledge to promote eRepublik and bring more new players into the game.
The basic plan was to use Facebook groups and promote eRepublik that way. Simple text with details and instructions was prepared and then sent to all members of a few groups as starting sample. The action became an immediate success and the first Society Builder medals appeared in kide83's profile.
Encouraged by this, he improved text more, he became admin of over 50 new Facebook groups (by using a small bug he discovered) and then mass messaged all members (over 25000 of them). Kide83 targeted only Facebook groups in Serbian which would guarantee that most of the new players will join Serbia.
The combined results of both invitation waves were great - over 15000 people read those messages and visited the special landing page he made... Around 700-800 new players registered eRepublik accounts but only 120-130 of them continued playing...
eRepublik Tools and Congress Member
After the second wave, many Serbian players noticed a raising number of SB medals so they became curious... Instead of explaining the whole process to each person who asked for tips kide83 took some time and created a dynamic web page that was meant to help any player from Serbia to bring new players and maybe earn SB medal(s)...
- This Link leads to the English version of page kide83 created (the original page was made in Serbian but players from allied Countries asked for the English version of the page)... At its peak, this tool page was receiving over 3500 visits a day from various forums, websites, FaceBook groups, etc... Lots of new players came as a result of this action, lots of Serbian players earned gold and some took their first SB medals in this period.
At about the same time, kide83 became an active member of SeS party (back then SeS was the most powerful party in all eRepublik). Since he was pretty popular because of tools he made (an invitation page and a small tool that could be embedded into newspaper articles which rotated daily advice for Babies) he run for congress and won without any help from the party or buying votes. He hoped that from the congressman position he would be able to help Serbia even more... Kide83 was a candidate and became Serbia's congress member 3 more times...
Disappointment and 2-Click Mode
However, in these 3-4 months kide83 became very disappointed in many other congress members... Politics became too dirty in that period, people were insulting each other almost daily, and there were many articles where members of one party were trash-talking about others... The peak of all that happened on the day of Jan 2012 presidential elections. Candidates were Kukee in front of SeS and RavenSerbia in front of UeS...
Quoting kide83's words that are describing that day through his eyes:
| “ On that day I read so much trash, so many insults, so many people were hitting on other ones... and all that to gain votes for presidential elections IN A GAME !!!! :( I personally was angry and all I watched that day climaxed in a few messages I exchanged with one younger player (Dejan J.) whom I told I'll beat him up if I ever see him at some eRepublik gathering, followed with not nice words by both sides (not something I am proud to write about at all)... Later that day, I wrote an article that I am quitting actively playing eRep and that I'm moving to 2-click mode until I get bored and quit forever. ” | |

Slow Comeback
For 1.5 years kide83 was in deep 2-click mode... He wasn't reading, commenting or writing news, he never visited chat channels either... Things that kept him in the game were players he met in eRepublik gatherings and lots of active referrals (he didn't want gold bonuses to be lost).
Norway PTO
kide83 was invited by LavBoris and aleksej015 to join a group of Serbian players who were planning PTO of Norway. For the next few months, kide83 had Norway citizenship, won Congress elections in Norway 2 times and was an important member of the PTO group. Kide83 became a highly hated player by Norway and most of the allied Countries after this law proposal.
Norwegians organized in the following weeks/months and with the big help of their allies kept Norway deleted from the map for a few months (therefore disabling the Serbian PTO team to participate in congress elections). In the end, most of the Serbian players left Norway and returned to Serbia, and so did he...
Home, sweet Home and Becoming Its Enemy
After the October 2012 Presidential elections in Serbia (the presidential candidate supported by SZR won) kide83 decided that it was time to do something he was considering for a long time - to leave Serbia and move to some enemy country and fight against interests of Serbia and it's future governments. A player who did a lot for Serbia in past has become an enemy of his ex-homeland after seeing that proven thieves from the past are getting support from a majority of Serbian players and winning elections every few months.
After being rejected by China, Brazil and Taiwan - Poland CS request was approved into at Nov. 25th 2012.

Military
In October 2011, a new bonus system was introduced to eRepublik... It indirectly forced all players to become members of some military unit to be able to get daily bonuses (Bazooka and Energy bar) so kide83 joined Srpska Legija, a military unit where his good RL friend (aleksej015) was an important member of... Shortly after that, he took his first Battle hero medal, followed by a few more BH and his first Campaign hero medal... However, his way of life and working as a freelancer didn't go along with the mentality of the regular military unit that was part of the Serbia Army (VeS) so he left Srpska Legija and joined Civili eSrbije (paramilitary unit for civilians where no one had an obligation to follow anyone's orders).
In the following months, he gained access to Titani (one of the strongest and most elite Serbian military units at that moment). His last known military unit was Y A G U A R E T E.
