Well, I actually want to give him credit. We told him his ideas were fucked up and if he believed in them so much so us on RT how they would work.. He seems to be doing just that. If he is willing to risk crashing his planet's economy to prove his point, more power to him.
As always, this is just blahblah PR gagging in the world of MindArk. Since ages. They always choke on their own promises (ND was choosing the wrong "MMO" for such a venture anyway) We arent enough dedicated players for this crap, too many greedy casino people around and this game is "unknown" since 1999...because of zero advertising...and its devastating pr stunts. It started with Treasure Island, which was awesome and actually worked out...then...you know...
Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here": So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue sky's from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. And how we found The same old fears. Wish you were here. >
I got one, too -- on topic :) An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry Yippie yi Ohhhhh Yippie yi yaaaaay Ghost Riders in the sky Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet 'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky On horses snorting fire As they ride on hear their cry As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies Yippie yi Ohhhhh Yippie yi Yaaaaay Ghost Riders in the sky Ghost Riders in the sky Ghost Riders in the sky. >
YEAH, I love Jonny Cash (sometimes)! Thanks for sharing it. My one was on topic too. Directly to Mr President Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs: "a lead role in a cage" and to Mr "historian" McCormick: "We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. And how we found The same old fears." In fact I am really, really sad about all what happened to this once so promising ... ehrm ... platform (?). C'mon folks, give me the Blues!

Sing farewell for me That sweet sound Of days past Always remember me Life of love, Beloved of my heart, O, joy of my soul, Sing softly... Temper your lyre and sing The hymn of death The sky opens to us And we fly into the light Life of love, Beloved of my heart, O, joy of my soul, Sing farewell...
So, the "goverment forum" is up and running. http://neverdie.com/vrforum/forum/rocktropia/rocktropia-government You can nominate yourself as "what you want"...but you got to own an estate on Rocktropia to do so. *awwwww* And you must at least stream 5 hours per week and if the others think you suck, you got to go. http://neverdie.com/vrforum/forum/r...928-rocktropia-government-outline-and-roadmap If you are able to stay for 4 years you get an LA and access to presidential instances (planned). Presidential strongbox anyone ? To me it feels more like fun approach of "roleplaying" inside of Entropia, nothing else. Im sure this will slowly vanish...and something else will show up one day...
-You need Rockbucks and a deed to partake. -The voting booths got mentioned once again -Political Roleplaying, nothing else (and be another beta tester)
z0mg are zee presidential strongboxes coming now !???!ß11111 :DDDDDD Wait, I didnt even know there will be a "President of Virtual Reality VU"...anyway, its postponed.
Oh btw. if you missed the "latest" Rocktropia news : (april 2016) Presidential Lockbox VR Presidents Day! To celebrate the 1 Year Anniversary of the inauguration of the First President of Virtual Reality! Anyone who voted in the historic election may visit ROCKtropia on the weekend of the 14th -16th of April to receive a commemorative Lockbox. In other words, you had to pay 1st to travel to Rocktropia...and pay to travel back...and you had a timeframe of 3 days. I bet this is...uh, was supposed to be the promised presidential strongbox... Inauguration (in) my ass
Don't forget that you can turn the boxes in that you got in that small time frame in to the npc along with some rock bucks and get a povr item... I was on rt during the fiasco so visited the npc a few times to grab the items. Nice little collection if you are in to collecting things for apartments actually. Just wish they'd fix it since the posters are broken right now... the image 'sinks' in to the wall so you just see the frame unless you hang it sideways on a corner with the picture part hanging out in the air on the edge of the wall. All of the posters are from neverdie's campaign blog. May not be worth anything but for collectors out there it's more worthwhile than other oddball junk you loot daily most of the time. I think there's something like 4 variations of the poster, one flask, one flag, and of course you can 'keep the box' I actually bought a couple of the apartments up on RT just because they have a much larger item point count than anyplace else in game... The apartments actually are kinda nice. I wish they had a basketball goal and ball to play with in it though since the hardwood floors really remind me of my old high school gym. Never made it to prom back then, so maybe that is part of the reason I like decorating these gym floors so much, lol. Kinda wish all planets did this turn in freebie items that are tradeable to an npc to get back something else thing for all the different holidays out there... could make this game interesting again. Started working on my alpha core card collection but that's a really way too pricy hobby vs this povr crap. (surprised no one's put the povr items on entropedia yet)
A little bump : -2015 Announced (You had to pay 1000$ to take part and be able to get voted for) -2016 Fucked up fake voting process (only Neverdie payed the 1000$...if he did it, that is) Neveride became the Presi..blah -2017 President retired and opened a goverment section on (one of) his forum(s) (with big prizes and awesome announcements for all joiners) x'D -2018 Rocktropia goverment forum is dead and filled with spam and hundreds of fake accounts that do nothing but...spam... No AmeVrica...no billions of jobs...no teleporter fees...no re-introduction of the voting booth...nothing, to be exact...absolutely nothing... But what did you expect ? Honestly ? And lets not forget about all the special VIRTUAL REALITY COALITION MEMBERS (in fat) x'D Mindark PE AB, Entropia Universe, Planet Calypso, POPtropia, Next island, Planet Arkadia, Planet Cyrene, Planet Toulan, Virtual Tycoon App, Compet Game App, VegastoMacau.com Virtual and Online Casinos. Empaticus AB
Time to stick that one in Content of oblivion me thinks and wait for the next puff of smoke announcement
