| − | It took me few months to learn basics of game and become really interested into doing some "extra" work in order to improve eSerbia that was a rising force at that time... Since i work as web master and web marketer in RL (portfolio of web sites i own - http://www.kide83.com) i decided to promote eRepublik a little bit and try to earn some referrals... First results were awesome, after few days of work and promotions i managed to bring around 100-150 new players to eRep in first week... Then i made short break to see what will happen and if any of those new players will stay in game... First Society Builder medals appeared on my profile and i knew this is something i have to do more :)

| − | I took some time and prepared a bit better for next promotion wave. This time i wrote very detailed message that should introduce eRepublik to potential players, also i used some sort of FaceBook bug i knew about which allowed me to become admin of almost any group (back then there was no Fan Pages like today but only groups)... Using this i became admin of over 50 FaceBook groups ranging from few tens to few hundreds members (some even thousands)... Most of groups i targeted for takeover were in my native language (Serbian) so most of new players would come and join eSerbia... My primary goal behind this action was to create another baby boom in eSerbia and to help my eCountry grow and become even stronger in future... Again, action was big success...
| + | |
| − | At the end of promoting i have done for eRepublik, more then 15000 people received invitation messages and visited my promo tool-page, around 700-800 new players registered to eRepublik but only 120-130 of them continued playing...

| − | '''eRepublik Tools and Congress Member'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After second promo wave some players close to me noticed i am earning SB medals pretty fast so they became curious... Instead of explaining what have i done to each person who asked me i took some time and created dynamic web page that was meant to help any player from eSerbia to bring new players and maybe earn SB medal(s) - http://www.kide83.com/erepublik/en/... Link here leads to English version of page i created month or two after original one in Serbian was online... At it's peak, this tool-page was receiving over 3500 visits a day from various forums, web sites, FaceBook groups, etc that eSerbia players used to spam their links... Lots of new players came, lots of players earned golds and some took their first SB medals in this period.

| − | About the same time, i became active member of SeS party (back then it was most powerful party in all eRepublik, compared to party member base). Since i was pretty popular because of tools i made (there was invitation page i mentioned already, but also i have made small tool that could be embedded into newspapers articles and it rotated advices for eBabies daily) i run for congress and won without any help of my party. I hoped that from position of congressman i would be able to help eSerbia even more... I was candidate 3 more times, all 3 i became congress member...

| − | '''Dissapointement and 2-Click Mode'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | However, in these 3-4 months i became very disappointed in many players who were also congress members... Politics became too dirty for my taste, people were insulting each others almost on a daily basis, there were many articles where members of one party was trash-talking about others, and peak of all that was at the day of president elections when member of SeS (Kukee) was candidate for president and her main opponent was (Raven-something, can't remember anymore)... Anyway, on that day i read so much trash, so many insults, so many people were hitting on other ones... and all that in order to gain votes for presidential elections IN A GAME !!!! :( I personally was pissed off and all i watched that day climaxed in few messages i exchanged with one younger player (Dejan J.) whome i told i'll beat him 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 article that i am quitting with actively playing eRep and that i'm moving to 2-click mode until i get bored and quit forever.

| − | '''Slow Comeback'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It took me over 1.5 years to start reading news and articles again, tho i still avoided coming to eSerbia chat channels or getting involved with other players... I simply didn't want to play like i did in past, game was still something i kept alive mostly because i had lots of active referrals and thought it would be a shame to let all gold bonuses from them wasted. Among many others, one of my referrals is Merovina (one of stronger tanks in eSerbia and in eMontenegro after it was added to eRep map)...

| − | '''Joining Military Unit and Leaving 2-Click Mode'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | During October 2011. new bonus system was introduced to eRepublik... It indirectly forced all players to become members of some military unit in order to be able to get daily bonus (Bazooka and Energy Bar) so i have joined Srpska Legija, military unit good RL friend of mine (aleksej015) was important member of... Shortly after that i took my first Battle Hero medal ever, followed by few more BH and my first Campaign Hero medal... However, my way of life and working as freelancer didn't go along with mentality of military unit that was part of eSerbia Army (VeS) so i left Srpska Legija and joined Civili eSrbije (paramilitary unit for civilians where no one had obligations to follow anyone's orders) :)

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In mid November 2011 i was approached by few players to join team that is going to try to accomplish PTO (Political Take Over) of eNorway... I accepted it as i saw chance to do something new and interesting in it :) About week later, at congress elections, i became congress member for 5th time... Our PTO team took over half of eNorway congress so it was big success... However, complete victory came 15 days later when our "leader" LavBoris became president of eNorway.

| − | - At December 21st 2011. i proposed law (donation of 885 Gold from eNorway country accounts to some org owned by eSerbia - http://www.erepublik.com/en/Norway/law/91912)... As expected, lots of ppl sent me insulting msgs and this appeared in several articles i was aware of... One of them reached #1 International article (http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/just-one-question-to-serbia--1930048/1/20)...
