"Ireland never had such a poor record no matter what alliance was dominant."

"Ireland never had such a poor record no matter what alliance was dominant." - Irishbhoy
After reading these words I decided to investigate, using the historical maps available from the world map. This is what I foun😛
The UK deleting Ireland on our own and holding them down for five days
Occupied by three nations, yet still returning more than once a week.
It seems that whilst we can wipe and hold EDENite Ireland for a while on our own, even when we were not in ONE and fighting Canada, Ireland needs two allies (who have had no other wars) and two alliances (who do 1 billion damage more a day than ONE, see the Economist) to fail to hold us for any significant amount of time. This is despite Ireland and Canada each having only one hostile neighbour (the UK), whilst we have Ireland, Canada, the USA, France, the Netherlands, Finland and Germany (which is 7 for any eIrish amongst you).
So, in reality, who actually has the worst record in the British Isles? The country who wipes and holds its neighbour on its own whilst the neighbour is in an alliance, or the neighbour who can only wipe and can't hold the regions of the first country, even with two allies helping, a much stronger alliance and three months after the first country last had a congress to supply their army with money?
I think we all know the answer.

So we have always gotten ONE support, have never had ONE support, are stupid for relying on allies and you are clever for relying on allies? We beat you 1v1 as our country is bigger than yours and there is no thing as 1v1?

Teehee
I don't think Ireland was ever as totally sat on as UK is at the moment.
I don't think Ireland has ever wiped a country without two allies helping.
I'm pretty sure Serbians helped us a lot taking over Ireland as well
According to TEDEN and some UKers, ONE never help us, meaning we must have wiped Ireland and beaten TEDEN without any help.
^butthurt
Thats because they have 1/4 of your population...
suck it up, your "ecountry" was never in ONE at that point, but you still had the MPP's
you guys only return to the map so Ireland and Canada can switch around regions or use our MPP's to keep you wiped when congress elections come around.
This wipe of the UK will go on and on and on until your population is as small as Ireland's.
@klop: we've returned 11 times in 3 months - that argument doesn't make sense.
@funky: we'll be back, we're just emigrating for resource bonuses
Obvious rationalization is obvious.
But hey, whatever helps you sleep at night...
Well what can I say, you guys gloat over wiping an ecountry with a population less than half of yours...
There isn't much effort in "returning 11 times in 3 months" against a small population,
I'll give credit to you guys for getting regions back from Canada, usually because of the time, us not caring etc.
We will fight Ireland until the eCroats will loose interest. After that eUK will be as we were in early November. And until than Teden may waste damage against eUK. 😉
@Klop: You are gloating over wiping a country with 1/4 the population of our three occupiers
Compare your country against one that's.. what, 5 times smaller. Stay classy England.
We are four times smaller than the three of you occupying us, and we are the UK not England
Eiros did you just see the first three pictures then commented? the article is not comparing anything it's a response to an eIreland citizen's remarks based on a country that has wiped his country.
"We are four times smaller than the three of you occupying us, and we are the UK not England"
I was referring to YOUR article and how it talks about Ireland and the UK,
but true I love gloating xD
I think you may have misread the original article a bit (which may have been nice to link). Your proof shows Ireland wiped for 3 days, not 3 months.
And how long did the eUK keep eIreland from having a congress in a single stretch?
Coming back in RWs that often shows wasted damage anyways. Take one and hold it. It's a waste to blow all that damage on 3 RW at a time...
UK without congress for three months, not Ireland wiped for three months. The proof shows Ireland wiped for 5 days. It is harder to keep an enemy wiped for congress over a long period of time when there is only one of you as opposed to several.
^that is true
but the answer to your question is still the same
The UK has the worst record currently
I don't understand how countries in Rl that are so close like Canada/USA/France- United Kingdom could be enemies, even in Erepublik. I know the story, but still.
So your comment is that you kept eIreland wiped for most of the time you were occupying us. While we do not keep you wiped for the entire time, and lose RWs regularly.
Reason number 1 why you have not managed to get congress when under occupation, while we managed too under occupation (bar the first two months). You have absolutely no idea how to deal with securing a congress in this situation - can't coordinate efficiently, or know how/when to best spend your resources, there is no sense of direction in your media..
Perhaps you should research how eIreland managed to get a congress while ONE was dominating. If your pride can take it.
@Seanan;
Go back to Ireland. Your potatoes need you.
Love the article. Encouragement like that - managing to reclaim areas whilst under the eye of SEVEN enemies - really gives a boost.
@Seanan: you had the UK outside of an alliance to deal with, we have Ireland, Canada and France all in alliances to fight. This last month you cleverly returned us early so as to be able to NE us ASAP, that was a smart move that we didn't think of.
@c224: if we were allies with Canada, Ireland and France then Canada and Ireland would die of boredom as all their neighbours would be allied.
Do you not see the irony of how UK was doing better when it was not in ONE? This is like a Far Side cartoon, why the heck are you guys still in ONE???
"we have Ireland, Canada and France all in alliances to fight"
boo-hoo. Clever Foreign Policy is a part of the game, yours is retarded just liek your attitude. enjoy your butthurt.
Also I should ad😛
The reason you keep getting back on the map is because it suits us, in more ways than one ; )
inb4 eAddy says EPUK FAIL!!! or something similarly tedious and inane.... oh, hang on.... darn.
@Addy: they fought for us then as much as they do now, which according to you is not at all, but in reality is quite a bit.
@Irishbhoy: then why don't you hold more of our regions and just 'let' us RW the useless ones, rather than repeatedly losing your fruit bonus? I understand that in this last month we were returned so you could get in your NE proposal early, but other than that you've had no reason to purposefully lose bonus containing regions rather than useless ones.
btw how is getting France and Canada to hold resources you need (oil and aluminium) clever if you can beat us on your own?
where have I said we can beat you on your own eh? Still don't get it..... The point is this, there is no such thing as 1v1 in this game and instead of recognising that and using it to shape your foreign policy you decide to get butthurt and cry about it after you've burned all the bridges worth having.
Yes, Ireland as we stand atm are not going to hold down UK RWs long-term. What I'm saying is it doesn't even suit us to anyway so we don't bother wasting resources on them. We need NE for our citizen retention(which has seriously improved btw) There are other reasons but I'll let you see if you can figure those out for yourself ; )
Danie:
As I had dropped all of Ireland's MPP's in Oct, during the first half of Nov Ireland was still rebuilding it's stack. Not that surprizing you managed to wipe Ireland for some portion of that time.
If you wanna talk about imbalanced odds; remember when Ireland alone defeated you and your entire 21 alliance stack in your attempt to take a fruit bonus in Louth?
One of the most embarrassing military failures in erep history...
"btw how is getting France and Canada to hold resources you need (oil and aluminium) clever?"...
Why would we want to deny our good friends Canada and France bonuses?
UK invades Ireland- 1 bonus attained
France/Can/Eire invades UK- 4 bonuses gained
@ Another war veteran: Actually you british citizens are going to be doing the farming for us xD
Daniecox, you are my favorite little whiney bastard from eUK. You argue to the end even if you've been beaten like a drum. Repeatedly.
Poms seem to have acquired this reputation for whingeing.
I have no idea why???

If you don't like us 'whingeing' then stop trolling us in our own media and expecting us not to reply

Stop lying
Anybody who uses the Union Jack on their Swedish avitar is nothing more than a traitor to their country. Nothing more than a self-righteous, self-serving, egotistical . Stay in Sweden because we no longer need you. Stay in the U.S. because you are no longer need. Stay in Poland because you are not wanted back in the eUK. The rest of us will stay here, work, fight, and pay taxes.
That was an exception to the rule daniecox and one I would not support either. Some people decided to run there for congress and wanted to keep the region for that reason. However that is not a factor for the rest of the month.
Stop being butthurt, it doesn't suit you.
"Stay in Sweden because we no longer need you. Stay in the U.S. because you are no longer need. Stay in Poland because you are not wanted back in the eUK. The rest of us will stay here, work, fight, and pay taxes. "
They have to stay because nobody can provide them with UK citizenship.
Bro, you were never "outside an alliance" you had ONE MPPs and ONE support. What we did recently in NI is one of the least complicated and uninspiring tactical moves in our book, and yes we have a book. Why? Because unlike you incompetent monkeys who ironically rely entirely on your alliance having excess damage to overcome your enemies, we did not accept the game as being "cyclic" and actually used our smaller resources and smaller damage pool to its best efficiently and timing, resulting in us having a congress.
eIrish had a trial by fire, and came out stronger. You seem to be burning up.
At least the eIrish trolls are loosing time in trolling the eUK media. XD
"If you don't like us 'whingeing' then stop trolling us in our own media and expecting us not to reply"
Who says we don't like it?
@emperor UK taxes can't be used. I make more damage in Sweden for the UK than I would with British citizenship.

u mad bro?
Oh yeah. He mad.
really he should be proud
The UK is reaching new heights of FAIL
no other eNation has come anywhere close to such epicness.
AND they have achieved such levels of FAIL all by themselves \o/
