Biography
Registration, eDeath and eRessurection:
Kide83 opened eRepublik account back in June 6th 2009. but after day or two he left game and profile died. After a month of being dead account was resurrected and stayed active since then.
Early Beginnings and Society Medals Period
After few months of learning game basics kide83 became interested into helping eSerbia community grow. eSerbia was a rising force at that time with hundreds of new players joining week after week as a result of Lipec's baby booms... Kide83 used his web design and web marketing knowledge to promote eRepublik and bring even more players into game.
Basic plan was to use Facebook groups and promote eRepublik that way for start. Simple text with details and instructions was prepared and then sent to all members of few groups as starting sample. Action became immediate success and first Society Builder medals appeared in kide83's profile.
Encouraged by this he improved text even more, gained admin status with over 50 new Facebook groups (by using bug he discovered) and then mass messaged all members (over 25000 of them). Kide83 targeted only Facebook groups in Serbian which would guarantee most of new players will join eSerbia.
Combined results of both invitation waves were great - over 15000 people read those messages and visited special landing page he made, around 700-800 new players registered to eRepublik but only 120-130 of them continued playing...
eRepublik Tools and Congress Member
After second wave many eSerbian players noticed raising number of SB medals so they became curious... Instead of explaining whole process to each person who asked for tips kide83 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 kide83 created (original page was made in Serbian but players from allied eCountries asked for English version of page too)... At it's peak, this tool-page was receiving over 3500 visits a day from various forums, web sites, FaceBook groups, etc... Lots of new players came as a result of this action, lots of eSerbian players earned golds and some took their first SB medals in this period.
About the same time, kide83 became active member of SeS party (back then it was most powerful party in all eRepublik). Since he was pretty popular because of tools he made (invitation page, but also small tool that could be embedded into newspapers articles that rotated daily advices for eBabies) he run for congress and won without any help of party or buying votes. He hoped that from congressman position he would be able to help eSerbia even more... Kide83 was candidate 3 more times and became congress member each time...
Dissapointement 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 others almost on a daily basis, there were many articles where members of one party were trash-talking about others... Peak of all that happened at the day of president elections. Candidates were Kukee in front of SeS and Raven-something (can't remember anymore)...
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 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.) whom 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. (http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/moj-poslednji-clanak-smucili-ste-mi-se-svi-edit-1127916/1/20 , article was written in Serbian)."
Slow Comeback
For 1.5 years kide83 was in deep 2-click mode... He wasn't reading, writing or commenting news, he never visited chat channels... Things that kept him in game were pleayers he met in eRepublik gatherings and lots of active referrals (he didn't want gold bonuses to be lost)...
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 kide83 has joined Srpska Legija, military unit good RL friend of his (aleksej015) was important member of... Shortly after that he took his first Battle Hero medal, followed by few more BH and his first Campaign Hero medal... However, his way of life and working as freelancer didn't go along with mentality of regular military unit that was part of eSerbia Army (VeS) so he left Srpska Legija and joined Civili eSrbije (paramilitary unit for civilians where no one had obligations to follow anyone's orders) :)
eNorway PTO
Shortly after, kide83 was invited by LavBoris and aleksej015 to join group of eSerbian players who were planning PTO of eNorway. For the next few months kide83 had eNorway citizenship, he won congress elections in eNorway 2 times and was important member of PTO group. Kide83 became highly hated player by eNorway and most of allied eCountries after this law proposal - http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/law/Norway/91912
eNorwegians organized in following weeks/months and with big help of their allies kept eNorway deleted from map for few months (therefore disabling eSerbian PTO team to participate in congress elections). In the end most of eSerbian players left eNorway...
Home, sweet Home
After period he was in PTO team, kide83 returned to eSerbia and continued playing actively. In following months he gained access to Titani (one of the strongest and most elite eSerbian military units in that moment), later he joined Nightwatchers unit together with some of the strongest eSerbian tanks.
