On the UK PTO

Day 2,372, 11:13 Published in United Kingdom USA by Bucephalus92

Greetings Bros,




I recently had the pleasure of moving to the UK for the purpose of assisting in their ATO operations against Serbians that had infiltrated their community. The irony of course is that I was once denied UK citizenship because they thought I might be a PTO threat.





Initially I had planned to simply cast my vote and then leave the UK to return to the United States, but after seeing the situation here and reading this article I decided that I would put out a short article before I left. Obviously this article is coming out a little late, RL (work, drinking, and being way too hungover) got in the way. Oh well.





As lain mentions in his article the threat that the UK is facing is not so different from what recently happened in the United States. A little over a year ago I returned to this game to find the United States community in complete disarray, reeling from a PTO threat perpetrated by Serbians and led by a complete and utter moron. The media was filled with articles that had had hundreds of votes bought for them (sound familiar) and were filled with vitriol and mudslinging. Accusations and fingerpointing ripped our community to pieces, I personally interacted with numerous new players that joined this game during this time. Unfortunately they inevitably got caught up in the hostility of the times and quickly became burnt out, being tricked by the propaganda of the PTO and never knowing what the truth was. Without fail these players would leave the game.





This is the true danger of a PTO, and why I personally find them so contemptible and dishonourable. A PTO may cause you to lose your regions, or your treasury, these losses are surely great but the truly inestimable loss is that of the damage caused to the community. Some of those players may very well have been the next Ligtreb, Josh Frost, or Lain Keers. We will never know.

I suppose that before I start rambling (too late?) I should just come out and state my main point.

PTO's are the greatest threat a nation in this game may face, bar none. For this reason and nation facing a PTO needs to come together and put political differences aside until the threat has been eliminated. The most important things that can be done now is for the UK do develop (if they do not have them already) a set of guidelines for approving citizenship approvals and punishments for those who break them. In the US congressmen who break this procedure are censured from congress. Another thing which the UK must do is reach out to allies for ATO voters, which they have obviously already done.





Lastly it is important is for the UK to maintain CONSTANT VIGILANCE in regards to this PTO. Even after we broke the back of the PTO in the US we continue to maintain strict guidelines for cs approvals. We also continually take over the party that is operated by a small number of Serbian PTOers that remain in our country.





Before I end I would just like to say two things, first to any ally of the UK that is reading this article. Should the UK put out a request for more ATO voters I would encourage you all to strongly consider moving to help them its what you would want them to do if your community was under attack.

Secondly, to the UK I would simply like to say good luck, I know a PTO sucks but by working together it can and WILL be beaten.
