[CN] Ending the Mexican standoff
mihail.cazacu
This is the second day of the Bulgarian-Turkish "Mexican standoff"
For those who are wondering what a Mexican standoff is, a picture is probably more descriptive than 1000 words:
Up until now both the Bulgarian and the Turkish congressmen have had the wisdom to reject the first reciprocal declarations of Natural Enemy.
The problem is that each congressman can pass 2 laws during his term. Judging from the votes "YES" , each side has around 15 "merry men" who could keep proposing such NE laws every day. Those guys don't care if everybody else, including their colleagues who vote "NO", are horrified by this brainless little game. They will end their terms in 2 days, before they could end all their possibilities to propose one more NE. 4 T3H LULZ, of course!
So is there any possibility to put an end to this charade before something really idiotic happens?!
Yes, it is, and Turkey has the key. The Turkish congressmen can refrain from answering with a NE, no matter if the Bulgarians can calm down their trigger-happy guys or not.
Let's weight in the situation:
1) If somehow the Bulgarian NE passes, Bulgaria would attack Turkey. On that occasion Bulgaria would automatically lose all the MPPs she has in common with Turkey.
Even though Bulgaria would start signing her MPPs back with the other EDEN and Terra countries, those MPPs will be automatically lost the next day, should Bulgaria continue to attack.
2) Turkey, on the other hand, has the ability to match Bulgaria one-on-one. In addition to that, even if the rest of EDEN and Terra remain neutral, there will always be some 2-clickers from there, some mercenaries and some medal hunters, bringing in some extra damage on the Turkish side.
3) With Bulgaria and Turkey at each other's throats, ONE will attack all the other EDEN countries.
Since both the Bulgarian and the Turkish damage would be eliminated from TEDEN's side, ONE would have an advantage of over 1 BILLION damage.
Practically everybody from TEDEN will be wiped out by ONE while Bulgaria and Turkey have their fun together.
So why exactly should the Turks stop proposing the NE since everybody would be screwed anyway if the Bulgarian NE gets voted?
For two reasons:
1. Everybody gets screwed anyway even if the Bulgarian NE is answered by a Turkish NE;
2. The Turks at least show they are doing something for diffusing the conflict instead of escalating it. It would have been better not to get here in the first place. But once the fire is burning, pouring gasoline over it isn't helping at all.
Let's hope everything goes well while preparing for the worst.

Some people are to selfish . Oh noez turks has been stealing my candy's since 1k B.C. .
Da fk .
only war can end that shit
radens, maybe you should actually read the article!
@radens: So far the majority of the Bulgarian Congress managed to keep the situation under control. The same happened in the Turkish Congress.
However now it's the time for one of the sides to turn the intensity of the conflict down a notch or two.
The Turks are in the best position to do it since their proposal for NE is always the second, _after_ the Bulgarians.
bulgaria and turkey are not to blame, eden hq is
@radens
bitch be cool xD
this can still be resolved peacefully imho, but shadow is onto something - EDEN (HQ) needs an overhaul, and I doubt Bulgaria will settle for anything less...
Mihail, don't put your trust on the eturks, you will lose.
@Silistra :if I were to be be bad I would say that putting the trust on eBulgarians look were we ended up .
But I am not ..so I won't say that .
For me this entire stand off is nonsense and I had better faith in eBulgarians then to fall in the same trap as the Polish fell under smrtan ,with Flausino playing the role of the Bulgarian smrtan .
What the future will bring who knows but I know :
a)EDEN will not die even though Bulgaria and Turkey jump at each other 's throat
b)ONE will smash us and all the hard work over months will vanish and most EDEN countries will get deleted .TEDEN will lose the upper hand it has
What I can say for sure is that me and like me many others :We will not forget our friends that stood for us and most certainly we will not forget who brought upon us loosing the upper hand we have right now .
You can play childish games with NE and call it whatever you want but when your country and the countries in your alliance start getting deleted because of that well ..trust me that people will remember who caused it .
So ..play your games but remember we ..the people in EDEN will remember.
Maybe the EDEN project has fulfilled its purpose and is now time to end it mutually .. I am not trolling, just an opinion
TEDEN, just welcome Turkey (and its problems) to your.. huh.. "brotherhood".
It looks like the Turkish Congressmen did the right thing and refused to continue the Mexican Standoff.
Good news from Bulgaria as well, where the population rose against the MPP with Poland and the continuation of the standoff. Hopefully the Bulgarian Congress will follow suit.
i like whatever mihail writes
What hoverge said.
