[PM] What's this Serbia up to in the UK?
Jhorlin
As I explained in my previous articles, the Serbian region rental deal is now going through. We've seen the first battle take place and end on schedule. People will already be seeing a nice boost to their strength training, as well as 10% extra influence in the Serbia battles.
So the first region passed through according to plan. Serbia now have East of England, and will be keeping it until the rental deal is abandoned. I've had a few people PM me for MTs to move out of the region, so hopefully those who are left are only dead citizens.
So with stage 2 complete, Serbia will very shortly be looking to open the battle in the East Midlands. This is the region en route to Yorkshire & Humberside, which is their next destination as part of the rental deal. Serbia will capture East Midlands, however the occupation will be temporary, and we will be looking to RW it back after not too long.
Fight hard, take the 10% influence bonus in the battle, and run for Battle Hero medals if you choose, but remember, we are trying to lose the fight on this one, so don't fight too hard. See you on the battlefield!
Obviously, losing regions is going to affect the congressional elections. I've made a detailled post on the forums, which can be found here, that details the expected effects of the campaign on the elections. I'd suggest that anyone who wants to run this month and all Party Presidents check the thread.
On that note, I'd like to wish the best of luck to all those preparing their campaigns, and to say thank you to Artela who has been working hard to prepare our anti-takeover precuations for this month, to block and vote out any foreign candidates who pose a risk to congress.
Unlike previously advertised, on Wednesday the first auction will go up. This will be on the forums, and will start at daychange (8am). The auction will last for 14 hours, after which the highest bidder will win. Funds will go to the Bank of England, and I'll instruct the winner on when to start the RW.
It likely won't be for a few days, however, there should be a few opportunities for people to take home a medal. If citizens start RWs without going through us, we'll be looking to help Serbia defeat the RW as doing so will not only remove some government revenue, but also interfere with our schedule of events for this campaign. If you want the medal, don't waste your money and instead use the auctions!
I suggest to everybody that now is a great time to join the Army. The Army is tailored to offer more food than wages are able to buy, and accordingly, gives a great deal to those who want to fight. More fights means more ranking up, more experience, and accordingly more levelling up. Not only that, but the Army offers a unique community, and puts a great deal of fun into the game.
The training war offers a chance to complete missions, gives a slight boost to strength training, and a 10% boost to all damage done in those battles. I encourage all citizens to take advantage of the war in order to make the most out of our time.
See you on the battlefield!

might as well put my comment here, too....
The rental suggestion must have came from Serbian side, since they tend to negotiate their every move... for example their land bridge across India to reach Malaysia had to be negotiated even when they had the power to just walk through. Or the Austrian deal. Serbia is paying 170 gold to the tiny Austria for some region there and Serbian president has to literary chase Prince of Austria (that's a nickname) to deliver his monthly fee, because kid stays late at school.
Well the fact about this rental deal is it is made in a good tradition between two long standing allies.
Our government gets 250 gold out of it, wonder how they gonna spend it... and Serbia who got Iain Keers for their minister of finances gets some productivity increase which will deepen already existing economic crisis, but will also increase their large population working skills. Some say this move is about a bridge to USA, too.
British government could perhaps got more out of the bargain, say, Canadian territory and a mercenary brigade twice our size to protect it? Too bad it's difficult to be too inventive when you're at the negotiating table.
Personally I don't like some aspects of this deal. It's a cowardly play-it-safe showing of money kind of deal. Yet as long as both parties benefit from it, there is nothing to object really.
Jockson has spoken.
Why are we renting them EoE and not East Midlands instead?
I don't trust the slavs.
They'll stab us in the back as soon as they can.
@Daquila Belmont
Agreed.
I dont trust this deal either
This will just anger the united states and we all know what happen last time we fought with them.
Oh, pish posh. The Americans are as bellicose as they are impotent. Besides, rumour has it the NWO's plans for an invasion of North America are on hold.
Daquila Belmont, what is your motive to talk so bad about eSerbians when they did no harm to eUK???
This deal can only help us.
@Greatmoff
I assume it's to provide extra saftey, if someone hits one of the rented regions and takes it from Serbia they wont then be able to hit the other rented region as we will have a region inbetween.
britain co-oping with serbs......fail
We seem so unrelyable when it comes to eUK young players : )) Why is that so? : //
No idea, Serbia are some of our greatest allies, and have been for a long time.
I want that food in the picture. how do i get it
this is a bad deal. Ever notice how crap like this always happens just before congress elections? Just plain stupid to do it now and not AFTER the elections so it does not screw things up... unless that is the entire point... screw up the elections, and limit the number of regions in the elections so the people making the deals can plan their elections better and have an unfair advantage.
so we will get the land back?, cos i have friends there and they need to get tickets to move back to e uk. not easy on serb salary compared to uk salary
@T.Chapman
Get your friends to message Jhorlin, he can provide the tickets to return home.
@Tom Morgan
They already have tickets but the problem is serbia is at war with uk so they cant move back to the uk
Then they have to use two tickets. : |
What he means T.Chapman is that you move via a netural country, so you move twice to get back to UK.
Yeah the slavs betrayed Czech Republic. Poland took southern Bohemia and then betrayed them and taking the whole country and giving it to Slovakia. They claimed it was a "land swap" but instead they were forcing to create Czechoslovakia.
and now they are taking Y&H too? What is next??? London???
