Simply, from a simple eTurk, to the simple people of Eden countries...

Day 1,581, 10:52 • Published in Turkey Turkey • by Walpole

4 months ago, when the last episode of ONE’s long list of betrayals and abuses against eTurkey played, and eTurkey’s relations with ONE irrecoverably severed, eTurkey’s government at the time brought up the possibility of Turkey-Eden approach for debate. I was in one of those debates. Different opinions were phrased by many people. Some people, including myself, objected the notion with various reasons. Nevertheless, we were in minority; eTurkey became a trial member in Eden.

Interestingly, though most of eTurkish population came to this game in order to fight against eGreece, nobody in that meeting, not a single person, said "We came here to fight Greece, so we don't want to be in their alliance". And the chronology of the events in past 4 months forged the roots of a long term, unshakable friendship between these two eCountries.

Stories with similar tuning can be multiplied if we review the relationship between eTurkey and every other Eden country except one. And those countries, with their goodwill, open mindness, and selfless cooperation, forged not only the friendship among themselves but also an Eden-dominated world.

During this process, eBulgaria remained an exception... They insisted on having eTurkey as their perpetual enemy and push aside even the thought of probability of friendly relations between two countries. To justify their behavior, they again and again underlined two main reasons:

1- Bulgaria needs an enemy (as if Fyrom or Serbia are not enemies in their western front)

2- Most eBulgarians play this game to fight Turks; if we become allies with Turks, many of our players would leave the game (a prediction totally in disagreement with eTurkey-eGreece case)

If it stopped there, most people in other Eden countires would say "Ok, they are not as logical and open minded as Greeks or Turks or the citizens of other Eden countries, so what" and shut up.

But no. That was not enough. Bulgarians wanted to eat their cake, and have it too. Thus we witnessed a cascade of incoherent Bulgarian policies and demands from both eTurkey and other Eden countries, which eventually brought whole alliance in total dysfunction. They wanted to have eTurkey as their perpetual enemy, fought eTurkey if circumstances are suitable, blamed eTurkey for their owns mischievous actions, pushed for eTurkey's expulsion from Eden , preached about the brotherhood’s value over “damage”, blackmailed Eden countries to obey Bulgarian will in this matter, asked regions from eTurkey in the good spirit of being in the same alliance.

And they did all of these at the same time, as if there was nothing wrong doing it so.

Friends,

You know that source of the problem here is not eTurkey, or Eden overall. The problem here is the collective psyche of eBulgaria in this matter, which cannot be identified more optimistically than "mentally clinical."/

In healthcare, remedy of a problem is to heal the source of the problem. If healing is no longer possible, then the removal of the source is the last thing to do. Eden's voting tonight will show whether Eden countries have a proper diagnosis of the illness which has been eating our alliance inside out.

If Eden countries fail delivering a moral decision tonight, in other words, reward eBulgaria for all her violations against Eden and punish eTurkey for doing nothing wrong, I am afraid that decision would mean to be Eden's own seal under the document proclaiming its self destruction.
