I've had a bit of concern lately, America. But first, this: Mood Music
With the collapse of CoT, the eWorld is running around like a bunch of headless chickens.
Our government has decided to support Spain in a number of battles and many citizens are not happy. "But they are the enemy!" they say. "We will never fight for them!" they cry out.
Now, maybe you're an old player and have forgotten, or a new player and just don't know. Either way, I'm about to teach you: friends and enemies in eRepublik are ever-changing. When I was a young player, with a few exceptions, the international political landscape was rather different from now.
We fought against eIndonesia, not for them.
We fought for the eUK, not against them.
We wiped the shit out of eFrance, not worked beside them.
We wiped eMexico for their resources, not called them Bros.
We assaulted eRussia, not fought the Huns together.
So what's my point? Things change. Saying you'll never fight for Spain is silly. We have before, and I'd personally be honored to again. Same goes for Poland and a host of other countries.
The only reason we really keep playing this game is because there's the chance for anything to happen. Any given day, our country could obliterate another. Part of that hope is knowing that alliances are not fixed. The option to change is there.
Chill out, America. Come along for the ride. See what new things we can do with some new (old) friends.

First for New Things.
You guys are good!
I'm more of a peace lover at this point in my life. I'm not entirely sure if I want to keep fighting. Maybe I just want to have an organic tomato farm on the Iberian Peninsula. Is that ok?
lol it's a dog with a human face.
Voted, Glad something like this came out
\0/...and when we worked with those allies as Brothers, America was strong it was only when we started stabbing them all in the back that brought us to where we are now, we also all know it is the 'meta government' leaders -the same ones who refuse to enforce Immigration Laws- who have pushed America down the road to this point....
Except the meta government is the ones now working to find new (old) allies.
>.>
don't feed the troll.
Explain why citizens should trust a meta government which flat out refused to enforce the IES rules, Pfuffer circumvented IES procedure by refusing to even fill out the forms and Paul Proteus granted a citizenship prior to receiving clearance. Both infractions got many an AFA Congress Member not only censured, but banned from the forums.
Unless Henry Pfeiffer Arundel is censured from Congress and banned from the eUSA Forums, America will continue to be seen as a self centered backstabbing country run by the same cabal of citizens who screwed them over before.
Why should America trust a meta government who won't even enforce laws they established? How can any potential ally trust America to keep the terms of a NAP when our meta government won't even keep the terms of their own laws?
>Unless Henry Pfeiffer Arundel is censured from Congress
Not congress, can't censure.
>and banned from the eUSA forums
Only for ToS violations (eg. Ajay was banned for posting scat). Get Pfeiffer to break ToS and PiZ will ban him. Most AFA members didn't care about the eUSA forums. Guys like Viarizi were the exception.
I actually kinda miss Viarizi. Why can you be even remotely as good a troll as Viarizi was? Now I'm sad. 🙁
\o/
perhaps its not silly...some of us stay loyal to our old allies, to those who have proven to be real friends. same goes for enemies, those sneaky smelly bastards, you dont want them around xD
but, this is just a game, and having new allies is a great opportunity to meet new friends 🙂

When I was a young player, Pakistan was the first to come to our aid in our rightful subjugation of the Canadian people.
BACK TO OUR ROOTS
PRAISE DIO BRANDO, GOD-EMPEROR
When I was a younger player, eAmerica had annexed eSpain after their treachery despite many tales regarding successful eAmerican Field Marshals "retiring" on eIberia after WWIII in '09.
Let's reset the alliances to 2009 and duke it out for Carne Taco and Hello Kitty again! Those were the days.
Hells yes.
"Any given day, our country could obliterate another. Part of that hope is knowing that alliances are not fixed."
I agree; though it remains my hope that MPP functionality will be removed entirely from the interface itself as a 'Free-For-All' environment would be more conducive to the newly announced resistance module improvements unveiled earlier this week.
Voted and Subscribed.

Well said. The world changes.
Change is the only constant.
And I had no idea you were nearly as old as I am.

Up with the new and Down with the old!
I don't care. No fight for Spain. Only for the MU daily order and with 10k bazookas for 250k.
I would like to see eAmerica friendly to an eArmenian state! eAmerica used to be very friendly to us Armenians, and lately I have heard nothing positive from your government. Although there has been elections, so maybe the new government feels differently then before....
Well then, MPP with them if they are our friends!
Excellent points. I could not agree more. An eLife is too short to harbor long standing hatreds. I did not like that many of my DOs lately been for eSpain, but I understand the need for. I am a soldier, not a whiner... So I did was is needed to ensure a eventual eAmercian success. Even if that means striking hard for foes I had fought against only the day before.
Voted.
