CODE - NEUTRAL? White Flag or False Flag?
Janko Fran
If you take a look at the CODE page, you'll see this:
Apparently CODE has changed its name to NEUTRAL.
Looks like surrender and waving the White Flag.
Will now we all live in peace?
Or is it trolling?
Or a false flag operation?
Or a deception?
Not sure...
However, if you take a look at the most of CODE member countries, you'll see this:
And as it's not that easy to find them on the map, however, you could still try to trevel to one of them and then you could also see this:
France
Bosnia & Herzegovina
Uruguay
Slovenia
Argentina
Albania
Hungary
Russia
To conclude:
Russia - Still Standing, 1 Region, No Resources
France - Still Standing, 1 Region, No Resources
Hungary - Still Standing, 1 Region
Albania - Still Standing, 3 Regions
Out of 9 CODE country members, 5 are currently wiped out from the map, 7 are left without any resources, 2 are left on 1 region and 1 of them is holding 3 regions. And if they are not wiped out of the map, they are at least economically dead. Technically 4 of them are still holding, namely Albania, Hungary, Russia and France. And out of these 4 that are still technically standing, only Hungary and Russia are holding 1 od their core regions. Albania took refuge in 3 Sweden's core regions and France took refuge in an Albanian region.
However, all that it's not that surprising...
There is a Spring Event currently going on and huge amount of damage points are being dealt.
And every time when the weather is nice, when the people from the CODE are mostly traveling and enjoying their time, there is some crazy eRepublik event with crazy amount of treats and then Asteria goes crazy for about a week or so...
Remember one of my previous articles from the last Summer?
Summertime in Croatia | Weather Forecast for eHR | Where to Move Your Companies?
It was similar like these days...
Still, let's analyze it a bit...
The Great Imbalance
The balance between Asteria and CODE has been broken a long time ago, perhaps even before the USA left, leaving CODE constantly on defense...
Since then it has been like a game of toppling the dominoes.
The damage ratio is probably between 5 to 1 and 10 against the Code, which can be calculated from the Sky Hero medals being collected every month on each side. The ratio is 10 to 1 in Asteria countries favor.
And in non-training wars battles just around 51:49 in Asteria's favor.
Asteria strategy?
It's the Weakest Link strategy. Asteria is constantly bullying a country until it breaks and has enough of being constantly wiped out...
Since then CODE has lost more than 10 country members...
The only difference is that the pressure has become stronger and the members are leaving faster...
What's the Weakest Link country's stragegy?
Mostly to survive.
And in order to survive, they either change side or become neutral.
CODE Strategy?
Earlier? The CODE's strategy was quite the opposite...
If you won't join them, beat them!
As earlier the CODE strategy relied on big spenders to compensate for the lack in strength and numbers.
So it was something like this:
And now or until today at least?
The CODE's strategy resembled more like to the Black Knight strategy from The Monty Python Holy Grail also known as "It's just a flesh wound", which was more and more obvious with each leaving CODE country member.
And from now on?
Heavily outnumbered, trying to defend as much as possible, patiently collecting the energy bars, weapons & food stock and waiting to strike back.
However, since cheating mostly goes unpunished, thus rewarded by buying strong accounts of disappointed CODE players leaving the game, it doesn't make sense to invest in this corrupt game...
So what is the alternative?
Somebody said it's the lack of courage on CODE side...
Well, it's not about that...
I'd say that the situation today in 2024 in eRepublik is similar to that in Ukraine today in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Courage has little to do with manpower, logistics and resources...
So it's not the lack of courage, Code has plenty, perhaps just the lack of organization... And definitely the lack of people...
CODE and Balls
So it's not about growing balls, CODE has big ones and in general, being on the weaker side takes more courage than being on the side of a bully.
The result?
Resignation and boredom results in a dying game. A game that had a great potential and which was played by more than 200,000 players 10 years ago now has less than 35000.
That's loss of 82.5% of players. And at the current rate this game loses between 1800 and 2000 players on average each year. That's a population loss of more than 5% per year.
You can do the math on when eRepublik population might halve again...
Still, there is hope and there is still one thing we can do...
And congrat's Asteria, you won!
At least until the end of this week and the end of this event...
So don't worry, we'll get back on the map as soon as the Spring Break is over... As most people with the RL have better things to do than waste time on this game... At least until it becomes more fun...
Happy Springtime!
Sincerely yours,

No worries, previously asteria has proven they don't get bored with endless farming and 0 wars
Did someone mention ePoland?
quoting the dark imperator of ePL "nobody will ever attack us, I have control over them" ... yes please mention our farmers paradise everywhere, it will change absolutelly nothing, balls are missing
The word you seek is courage.
umber bear was here 🙂

Ne kužim ti se ja baš previše u ove mehanizme i politiku ove igre, a niti me je iskreno previše briga za nju jer sam više usmjeren na RL događanja nego u ove dosadne statističke brojke ovdje... ali taj Jim Henson je jedan klasični beskičmenjak!! Takav stav imaju samo gubitnici i zgubidani! 😒
Na što točno misliš? Koji Jim Henson? Kreator Muppeta?

I you are here to fight you fight Romania.
Only ethical choice the game ever had.
The admins of Ro created a "pay to win" setup for US customers (50 states etc) ever since foundation and sucked up to them consistently "alliance". There has never been a fair fight, the optics of occasionally winning against Ro were almost blips in the matrix.
So go ally with them if winning is everything for you.
Or keep betting against the casino if you like to see the maffia fail and squirm.

Snowflakes with diapers aka Gama had trust issues with Egypt and blocked Egypt twice from becoming member.
Gama crying babes abandon this game because asteria was winning and their money worth nothing to promote another similar game and now (what a coincidence) other game is falling into pieces as well. They lost over there a ton of money for nothing.
Gama snowflakes were always making the wrong decisions. End period.
If you really take a look at the CODE member countries you will notice that Russia is not deleted and still standing.
Countries are leaving CODE not because of asterian bullying but because there is no any organisation within CODE. For a long time already. It is extremely boring to play such a game.
Asteria pretends they don't notice lack of a worthy opponent and keeps counting and celebrating victories.
Last but not least. Comparing the game events with RL war is inappropriate
Polonya ve Amerika anlamsız sekilde Sırbistan'i destekliyor. Bu oyunu daha da monoton hale getiriyor.
true, only code players are in vacation mode. asterians are crazy people fighting day and night 😁
Great article.
I stopped to spend anything on this pile of ... when it became obvious that cheating, using multies, buying account, etc. are now totally unpunished. Admins doesn't care, many multi/fake accounts are also equipped with packs.
i dont think it s because of holidays. Asteria has more players —> event: more player x more EB, bomb, stinger, tret —> even bigger damage difference than regular week.
+ full resignation on other side
+ no coordination

1st of, why show post from biter specifically? The worst place to information from. XD
2nd, finally, someone decided to do a graphical change to the image 😛
Well, it was the first and only post that I saw where someone mentioned that so needed to react...
So nothing personal and btw. give Biter a break... We are all just playing a game, no need to be rude. And I liked Biter's/Reformed's articles.
Take care.

Yeah since Asteria keeps cheating ofc they´re winning. It has nothing to do with strategy, remove the bots and bought accounts and Asteria would be crushed by Poland alone...
35000 out of which 30000 are on the scripts and fake accounts
