| War comes to Thailand |
My Fellow citizens,
After consulting with my staff and some congressman I decided that eThailand needs something new in its history.
That something new is: War.
Let me explain the reasons why:
As all of you know eThailand has no High Raw Materials, and because they are the most important resource a country can have we are going to take some.
The financial boost we will get from the new High Resource and the new players we will get, will give us an extra income.
The THB will increase in value from all the new players and companies.
We are going to take a region from a PTOed country.
They are not a lot of choices of which country to invade so you’ll probably guess it:
It’s Malaysia.
We are going to invade the capital region of our neighbor Malaysia and take the High Oil they have and we so hopelessly need.
Bl1ndn3ss
President of eThaliand

Vote, comment or flame.. Your choice!

Voted and will vote for!
All glory to Thailand!
VOTED YES!
READY YOUR WEAPONS!
Voted yes too. Kick their asses.
We need lebensraum?
In addition they won't have any MPPs by then.
@Defenestration: we need not only high resource region, but a war to develop.
What is lebensraum?
lebenstraum, or elbow room in german.hes calling us nazis =_=
I think it is a type of pastry ubermutant.
More pastries for the pastry eaters!!!!!
Let the war machine roll.
@ubermutant: It is a german term that was used by the nazis back in the '30s and '40s. The point of it is that they needed more space for their nation. It was one of the main reasons why they started the war.
This is treaturous and uncalled for. We should not battle for oil. We need war experence, so lets arrange perpetual wargames with malaysia over a piece of land they don't want... let's not take their high oil region.
I follow the party line and vote for declaration of war - but I appeal to the President that we agree with Malaysis to wargames and not to try conquest.

@carmen polo: yes we do want the oil, but after we get that, i think we will have some fun with wargames
Malaysia is not owned by the Malaysians. It has been taken over by foreigners politically anyhow. They destroyed the currency. We would be doing people in Peninsular Malaysia by absorbing them into our economy.
@Asylum, does someone want to ask the Malaysians what they want? As I recall Malaysia had sought unification with Singapore. Can't we let them choose what is best for their security?
Moreover we can not attack other region in eMalaysia than capital region .
GANYANG MALAYSIA!
"Malaysia is not owned by the Malaysians." So we may as well!
Go for it. & BTW- I want to be in her platoon! (Not Carmen's. The girl in the article photo!)
haha, I'm not calling anyone nazis. I actually support this. Thailand needs to make a move. We just have to make sure it doesn't bite us in the ass later on.
... and the counter economic argument is this:
High Oil will create a demand for land workers. The exising industries that use land workers (grain, Wood) in medium regions will be blown out of the water. Perhaps a price worth paying, but let's not forget that the owners of these businesses will be the losers in this escapade.
and fight we all shall.
defnestration, i am very happy that you voted with us today.
for a stronger thailand!
I have given my thoughts on having RM company in a low region. Even a mid region isn't worth it. I wish the game gave a warning on the difference in production so people would know not to create those companies.
We need a high resource to have a fully functioning economy. We are walking on short legs right now. We need to run on long ones.
Yes, well, I whish to see a strong and prosperous Thailand, we are on the same page there. I just hope we can be better at getting all our citizens involved and benefited. The game is limiting, but it has been done before, and I think we can do it again, here in Thailand.
Greatness and prosperity to Thailand and all her people!
Thailand must expand! We can't sit in mediocrity forever.
We need lebensraum, blutwurst, and nutella!
I could put Nutella on just about anything.
1st squad ready! Hoah!
OBJECTION!
I'm still a newcomer, but would one of our congresspeople or the president mind addressing the following questions?
1. What happens if we lose? That's a whole huge chunk of gold we'll have lost, correct? Perhaps losing is a very unlikely outcome (?)
2. If we are now seen as an aggressor nation, how will that affect our standing with Indonesia or Romania? (I notice they seem to be rather taking over the map).
3. Are we prepared to deal with any additional battles that might result from this declaration of war? (i.e. anyone who perceives this as a good opportunity to attack Thailand)
I suppose my questions are rather late, given that there seems to me an almost unanimous call to go to war, but it would still be helpful to understand more about the war I will apparently be fighting in soon.
Thank you.

1. What happens if we lose? That's a whole huge chunk of gold we'll have lost, correct? Perhaps losing is a very unlikely outcome (?)
Extremely unlikely. They will not be able to sign an MPP in time and have an unorganized army.
2. If we are now seen as an aggressor nation, how will that affect our standing with Indonesia or Romania? (I notice they seem to be rather taking over the map).
We are in PEACE and Indonesia has been our long time friends. Romania is not close to or care about us nor are they aligned with Malaysia.
3. Are we prepared to deal with any additional battles that might result from this declaration of war? (i.e. anyone who perceives this as a good opportunity to attack Thailand)
Plans have been thought out ahead of time considering all scenarios. We felt that we had a small window of opportunity to make a move at a time which we had a great change to gain with little risk and we moved on it.
Thanks for answering my questions, Gentyle. I hope you are right, of course.
[Only one comment: Romania looks pretty close to me...http://www.egobba.de/]
to the battlefield we march
serendipitymahogany - Yea, I suppose so. Still I do not think we are on their radar. They have bigger fish to fry.
I'd like an estimate of how much gold this venture is going to cost. And how we plan to ever recover that sum with a new territory.
Carmen Polo is correct that with a high resource region the existing raw material companies are in trouble. This can be seen in many other countries where few are willing to work in the medium resource areas cause the wage is half that of the high areas.
I beg your pardon, but who "owns" Thailand? Real-life Thais?
Please, don't be stupid - vote NO! If we declare war, we will pay for it. We are a small nations without a strong army. If we turn aggresive, we open a dangerous door.
VOTE NO
I vote yes.
"I'd like an estimate of how much gold this venture is going to cost. And how we plan to ever recover that sum with a new territory."
I second DivisionBell's request. We should not be engaging in wars unless we have a clear idea of what might be gained and what might be lost.
No way to determine a money value on how much will be gained by having high oil... The game is not sophisticated enough statistically for us to determine any values.
This is Vincent Garibaldi. I support the war fully. (Is that surprising?)
Now then, to address a few concerns.
We won't lose, period.
This will double the productivity of our raw materials sector. It might hurt a few companies, but it will most certainly help the country overall.
It is wanton Aggression. But, it's a game, it's Malaysia, and we're neither wiping them off of the map nor taking all of their valuable regions.
Let me just sum up the arguments.
Thailand(now)>Malaysia
Thailand(after war)>The world
@Carmen: Producing raw materials in medium regions is inefficient anyway. To give employees a chance to do achieve better results with their work in a high region is beneficial from a macroeconomic point of view. However, I agree with you that this will damage the existing raw material companies, especially the medium oil companies. The government could steer the migration by offering subsidies. I think of offering zero-interest loans to company owners who want to open a new high oil company and at the same time close down a medium company. Of course this is only useful if we believe that we can keep the high oil territory for a long period.
I am dissapointed with Thailand. We had high hopes for this alliance.
As much as I hate war, this holds benefits for Thailand, and does not cause any severe problems to citizen Malaysians, because of the aforementioned takeover by foreigners. However, are there any direct problems that may result from this?
Frankly, when I logged on and saw this declaration of war... 1 thought. WTF ARE THEY DOING?! Then I realized this a game and we should have fun! So yes let's get the war machine kicking.
You know what ... I'm thinking to move my troops to guard Malaysia
and i send my troops to thailand and take Manohara back b0ng xD
Cool, but you will probably be competing with Singapore
@Renago: Me and my men will guard Malaysia with B0ng
Tailand will fail see you on batllefield... ;]
I may not good at this game. But I want war
Fight till the death
war never changes. i will be here next month, as a 10,5 or more General( i hope) o>
Imperialists.
thailand the fools, are losing wooo
"Malaysia is not owned by the Malaysians. It has been taken over by foreigners politically anyhow. They destroyed the currency. We would be doing people in Peninsular Malaysia by absorbing them into our economy. "
It is not owned by Malaysians but it is owned by people who want to protect it. A small group of prominent UKers have gone there and proposed themselves as candidates. They did not do a POT because there were no more than a dozen of them. They won the peoples support through honest elections because they wanted to protect smaller countries from what you are doing now.
Also why on earth would they want you to conquer their land. THey wouldn't want it in RL and they wouldn't want it here.
This imperialist warmonger Bl1ndn3ss is a traitor to Thailand. Please live in peace with your neighbors.
The self-styled 'anarchist' Vincent Garibaldi has shown his true colors in his support of this unjust war, and for evoking the appalling cry of 'Tomorrow the world'.
He also wrote: "We won't lose, period."
I would fight in this war, but my health is not high enough
