[EN/EDIT] Open letter to TWO
Master ZUO
Dear TWO,
Congratulations! The world is yours. What now?
Short (unrelated?) story
Once upon a time, there was the war champion - Goliath. Twice a day for 40 days, he comes out between the army lines and challenges opposing army to send out a champion of their own to decide the outcome in single combat. Then a young boy came - David. David and Goliath confront each other, Goliath with his armor and shield, David with his staff and sling. As we all know, David won the battle and killed Goliath.
Moral of the story
This story is around for more then two thousand years now. I'm quite sure that if Goliath would have won that battle, it would probably be forgotten in a few days. David, on the other hand, became immortal.
This brings us to the current situation in the eRepublik. We have one powerful and dominating alliance, able to win every battle and erase every country. Yet, can they truly celebrate its victories, enjoy every win they take? No, they can't. Why? Because - it is expected. And next day it will be forgotten.
On the other hand, weak side has to do its best and put a maximal effort and with some luck, it could win a battle or some RW. But then it can truly enjoy every win they take! Why? Because - it was against the odds.
Having all that in mind, I'm sending my sympathies to all countries in TWO. Yes, you are the most powerful alliance. Yes, you can conquer every enemy. But you killed the joy of game. As long as the balance of power will be so strongly on your side, you will never be able to celebrate your victories, to have legendary battles which will be remembered in a months to come, which will be written with golden letters in a history of eRepublik. And as soon as you realize that, a better chance to bring the balance of power back and joy of game for all of us.
To all other countries I send my best wishes. Celebrate every victory you take against TWO because it is truly "Davidian style"!
EDIT
(for those unable or unwilling to see the point)
TWO HQ (or whoever makes strategic decision there) has made a great effort to attract ex-EDEN countries to their side. With this, they have greatly improved their advantage in terms of daily influence, but in the same time they have (among others) lost one important thing - a challenge. Metaphorically, they have created "Goliath" alliance.
This article is not "cry me a river" or "buthurt" thing, as some comments suggested, but an effort to point the obvious: TWO has lost possibility to have a worthy opponent. Maybe some of you like to play games without real challenge but at this time, the only challenges can be found on a con-TWO side.
So, as in the story, the future of "Goliath" is already predictable. In the long term TWO has already lost.
PS: thank you all for votes and shouts and don't be so shy with subscriptions. Go ahead, make my day

Ako imate na friend listi prijatelje u TWO zemljama, molim shoutajte!
Unaprijed hvala za svaki vote i sub!
Covece,kako nevrazumete!? Mi to radimo za vase dobro! Donosimo demokratiju. Sta? Ne mislite tako? Pa moracemo da vam organizujemo jedno humanitarno brisanje da bolje shvatite.
srbija i demokracija ajme majko vi čobani bez vize ne moRete u rvacku.
a o vasim kornfleksima koje imate i nosite iz rl-a prema svim susjednim zemljama da ne govorimo, valjda jer su vas svi mogući i handrili huahuahua
Lol
debilna tvrdnja za jednu igricu u kojoj i za koju očito žive vrlo kompleksne osobe
Пусти их нека мисле шта год хоће, и онако немају ама баш никакав утицај. Шта ТВО одлучи, то ће се десити, а разни кроати и побратими им шиптари могу само да напусте игрицу или пукну од муке.
Aluzija ribare,aluzija na pricu I dela jedne drzave koju vi u RL ljubite u bulju,a ovalni I po IRC kanalima.
černobilski rvatino smješan si
eto samo potvrđuješ što sam rekao xD al ajde bolje da frustracije i mržnju ostavljate u igrici nego u RL hmmmm heheheh
Znaci ja sam frustriran ako primetim da je vama ovakva "logika" potpuno ok u RL ali vam smeta na erepu.Ako je tako onda ste vas dva brata jako licemerni.
Btw ja ne mogu zbog toga da budem frustriran
David je pobedio golijata uz Boziju pomoc! David bez Boga je nista, a vi ste taj David!
very true.
Strong article! Good job : )
pok !

Who cares, it's a summer.
True story!
pixels,pixels,pixels...
wow broken already? Go six month wiped and then cry.......
You should read again this article but this time slowly!
hmm maybe you should read between the lines and consider motive for posting it?
our core is wiped for longer then that, so maybe you should shut up
but then again, crying once in a while is good for ya. better that than quietly enjoying indo's boot
Miserable cow, retire.
Big Vote - Hail non-TWO victories xD
Bravo !
Odlično objašnjeno .
Who cares, it's a summer. x2
Koj e kriv sto e toa taka, vie hrvatite albancite turcite bosancite... sto neznaete kade pukate i protiv TWO i protiv COT vie samite ja pravite neramnotezata, ako dojdete site vo COT odnosno stanete proCOT togas ke bide druga prikazna ili sega vi tekna da se zalite koga dojdovte da ve brisat od INDIJA.
Ne pricaj gluposti.
eve zemi ziv primer makedonija i hrvatska, vie pukavte protiv COT pokmagajki na TWO za da ne isfrlat od arabija sega koga ke ve napadnat vas a toa e za nekolku dena nie ke pukame protiv vas znaci TWO e TWO a nie zemjite koi treba da se borime protiv TWO se tepame megju sebe.
Eve kazi mi ti na mene sto ste vie proTWO zemja ili proCOT ili kako vi odgovara pukate koga e srbija vo prasanje pukate protiv nea koga e vo prasanje bugarija makedonija pukate protiv nas znaci vie ja pravite neramnotezata a ne nekoj drug
Pa ne mozes na jednome primjeru osudivati Hrvatsku , Albance , Bosance i ostale da ne pomazu saveznicima.
Mi COT ni proCOT nismo, samo imamo nekoliko saveznika tamo.
Pa toa e problemot sto vie imate sojuznici i proCOT i proTWO treba veke da se odlucite a za da ima ramnoteza treba da stanete proCOT nemora COT
Ednostavno e, nepukajte protiv COT zemji pukajte samo protiv TWO i ete ja ramnotezata
kao sto ste vi radili dok ste se lizali sa TWO? Nemojte sad tu plakati ako su vam zabili noz u ledja, ko sto je i bilo za ocekivati. Ovo su sve samo rezultati CoT politike dok ste bili sretni u TWO dupetu.
So toa razmisluvanje naskoro i vie ke bidete bez nitu eden region pa se nadevam posle poinaku ke razmisluvate.
Na vas grcija vi zabi noz vo grb na nas srbite vie se borevte za grcija nie za srbija, sega e poinaku grcija i srbija se zdruzija toa znaci deka sega treba nie da se zdruzime ako sakame da postigneme nesto ako ne ke bideme izbrisani
Zašto je CoT udarao protiv Hrvatske kad se borila protiv TWO i dok je bila u Edenu? Možda zato kaj je Bugarskica bila uvrijeđene pa je tako rekla.
ma cot je pijunski savez, uvijek bio i bit ce
PA i vie udaravte za Turcija sega koga ne brisea pa nikomu nisto imate uste malku vreme da gi ispravite rabotite posle toa ke bide all world is two
Fuck CoT. To je neprijateljski savez isto koliko i TWO.
Yes! Vote!
From now on, whenever I see TWO fighting somewhere... I will not fight against TWO. Will fight for TWO because it is GAME OVER, there is no more game to play! No more fun here.
Pluto, another Gold Mine for TWO HQ. Or make it TWO in celebration!
That is because you are a looser and you have a bought account..
and u dont have kosovaaaaaaa
tamam
I totally agree with you
Very good & so true! Vote!
Goliath will die soon ... under its own weight!
We just have to wait 40 days?
It's similar to RL, isn't it? : )
Cry me a river, kme kme : P
...go celebrate on Gazimestan...DON'T FORGET PASSPORT!
