...Or We Could Just Win This Now?
•
by Greene12
The country is going through some interesting times. War has a new meaning compared to past years of erep and unfortunately, we stand fragmented and disparate. Its not much fun. I would like to give my two cents on a couple issues:
-Direction of War Module Damage
-Direction of Political Module Damage
There are serbians and TWO enemies in every module of this game now, except for maybe the economic module....if that even counts as a module anymore. The same Serbians we see on the battlefield show up at the ballot box. The same CoT allies we fight with for territories have helped us at election times.
Its a new era of total warfare. Why take your enemies regions when you can take his congress, his CP, and his parties too? This is the black flag. Welcome to scorched earth.
Direction of War Module Damage
I like to play the war module, fighting and all that stuff, its a fun time. Its not my strongest suit but I play it. I actively participate in my Military Unit and I want to deliver mounds of corpses to my Commanding Officer. However, High level strategy is not my thing.
High level strategy is however, other people's thing, and they're not working together very well in the eUS. I think this is self-evident, we suck at directing damage as a whole country, and our MUs have very different priorities sometimes. It lowers our overall effectiveness and it probably makes us look really stupid on the national stage.
Whatever people want to do, some number of those High Level strategy guys need to get in a room (the war kind of room, not a hotel room or something, though that might be a good idea) and finally hammer something out. Everyone needs to give up something and everyone needs to start agreeing on the big picture.
Some folks want us to get wiped and clear the NEs against us, others want to fight it out to the last man. Its almost funny how nobody is getting what they want, except that it means the US has its head up its ass as a result.
Get a room, set down what you want, what you will and wont do, and then start giving stuff up. If an alliance as big as TWO can coordinate damage better than the little eUS can....its a bit pathetic.
Direction of Political Module Damage
Yes, we know, everyone hates Unity elections. The best part of Unity elections is that they could end tomorrow. The eUS has more than enough population to stop serbia from holding a top 5 party.
This month we have a new process, the popular vote winner will win the Unity election. This means 6th parties, and everyone gets an equal vote. This is far from a perfect system (In game votes are best by far) but its reckless to risk our CP office while serbia is allowed to have a top 5 party.
We can end Unity now, we end it by winning. If you legitimately think beating the PTO isn't important and you don't care about the political module, well, there's still a party that agrees with you, but it is run by serbians.
I lost about 70 members of my party because I thought the US wanted to kick the serbs out of the top 5 for good after we took their party last 15th. It was a stupid decision, moving people around always results in losing people, but I just can't bare the thought of not fighting at every chance.
The bottom line is simple: Want to end Unity? Then fight for it. Tired of the politicians? Nothing is stopping you from running for office yourself. One thing is certain, we have the firepower to simply kick the serbs out, but we still don't. It probably has something to do with our collective head being stuck up our collective ass.
Everyone in the US needs to get a bit more involved. Our leaders must be willing to give stuff up. I for one, am getting tired of people pretending like only one module exists. Saying the government doesn't exist doesn't make it so, unless you're plato, and no one can ignore the war module either. If you don't like the way things are going, then get active, engage people, talk, and pressure change. If all you want to do is refuse to talk and never surrender, all that does is play out a self-fulfilling false-martyrdom. That doesn't sound like all that much fun to me.
We've got to start fighting on all fronts, and its time we got our shit together.

First for 'Murica
lol like the tricycles and it is a good article no bs in it all fact and strait to the point
I knew the peoples would love children on tricylces
If I were crazy enough to run, I wouldn't seek Unity endorsement.
With 600+ active followers, it is impossible to keep the "Serbian element" out of our Top 5. Why damage our own parties by futile attempts to stop them? Why not keep our own parties strong, active, interested and motivated, by allowing full democracy?
Yeah, f**k America right?
Sounds like something the President should do. Who is the current President again?
Tenshibo, and I agree! There will be country president elections on the 5th, make sure to vote!
Voted
Props to the Feds for what they've done for ATO, as well as the other T4's.
It's up to all of us, and next month presents the best window we've had in 10 months.
Voted.
If you legitimately think beating the PTO isn't important and you don't care about the political module, well, there's still a party that agrees with you, but it is run by serbians.

How about those who would never vote for Ajay, but would love to see a credible vigorous player proposed as party president..... is there a party for that? And if, for instance, the AFA were to propose a credible vigorous player, would that be "beating the PTO"? You would think it would be.... and you would think that when the AFA proposed Candor for PP it might have been a good idea to put aside the zombie thinking... and before Candor there was Savonrepus. Players have been involved and the fight against Ajay has had a lot of twists and turns. Heck it was about ten months ago that the government decided to get rid of a whole lot of players who would NEVER vote Ajay, or eSerbians. That was the poison pill "let's lose our bonuses on purpose" policy. Now we regularly go begging for the same players to return here every election. Don't get me wrong. Every policy and decision has down sides and unforeseen results and there will always be objections to any decision. It is precisely because there are a variety of possible solutions and a variety of strategies available that discussion cannot be "if you don't agree with us you are not real patriots, real americans, real ....". When the discussion did in fact fall to those levels, when creating CNTL was elevated to "being true Americans", when fighting the PTO justified any and all means, when a big team like eAmerica became convinced it had to be afraid of a little gnat like Ajay, it lost power. It also lost friends, networks, bonuses, vitality, credibility and influence. Now it is losing game tiles. Agreed, however, all of this is reversible. Wingfield is writing some intriguing things about restoring team USA. Paul Proteus is writing vacuously about his candidacy. Early days.
"Kick the Serbs out"
Ignoring the hundreds of Americans, and dozens of other nationalities that are with us.
Bigotry is un-American too, but you wouldn't understand that
And you do?
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dely, c'mon. Bigotry is cool when my man Ajay does it. Get wit it fool.
You preach no Bigotry yet you attack people like Artela for being former CP of eUK but on the other side let in Serbs. You can't have it both way Ajay
@Ajay: Kinda like you can't got to school and stalk students at the same time.
Voted stuff like this is why I have nothing but respect for you Greene.
"We can end Unity now,..."
You sound like a broken record... keep on repeating it.
we should pass immigration reform! anyone who is an American citizen is an American citizen!
Jkeller4000 thats how the system works. When american citzens register they get american citizenship. The immigration is for people that move in RL or begin a new eLife.
my commment was a bad comment. i am trying to say anyone who thinks Serbians who have American citizenship are not Americans is a little off their rocker!
if a person has the citizen ship of american then they are american citizens. it does not matter if they started the game as russians or serbians they now have american citizenship and we need to reform people who think that a person can be an american citizen and not an american citizen.
i am a male player and also not a male player. this think confuses people and should confuse people. one cannot be anything other than one. two cannot be one and one cannot be two. because one is one it is one.
i do not know if i have made this clear.
an american is an american is an american is an american.
an american cannot be not an american.
maybe i do not understand.
maybe i can be male and not male.
maybe i should have said it this way. a point that people might think i am dumb but to be very scarstic.
we need immigration reform, all American citizens need to be sent back to their country of citizenship. which if you do not realize american citizens are american citizen are american citizens. the country of citizenship for an american citizen is america.

You hit the nail on the head now.. there eAmericans that arn`t Americans. They gained citizenship through iliegal manors IE paid for it or asked RGR and did not go through the proper channel. We can not kick from out country, they have to voluntarily leave. Yet they will not leave because they are trying to run the country and become the PotUS. The dilimea then arrises that you need a 2/3rds vote of congress to remove a bad president. which is something that can`t occur if elections only occurred in one region because all others were invaded. This is the battle we are facing right now and this is why we have unity. You are right there needs to be immigration reform in the game. Admin only handles one issue at a time. so the need for this reform must wait until after the economy is fixed. or admin could finally make an in-game forum where he talks to us. both ideas arn`t going happen probably for a year.
It amuses me how you tend to present meta-game laws as in-game rules.
Kick the Fascists out of power!
