A President's Musings on War

96 Day 602, 18:26 USA
Today was a long day. I logged on to "WTF BBQ WE'RE BEING ATTACKED!". I knew this would be one of "those" days.

The defense of Canadian held Nova Scotia was going fine. We'd lowered the wall to 10k and then PEACE came and did a bit of tanking. They got the wall to 115k. I went to Eugene Harlot, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and said "fire up the tanks!", and we were off. Except, we weren't. Server problems happened and unfortunately we lost. Is the server entirely to blame? No. Could the Admins use better servers? You betcha. Do we need to tank earlier next time? I'd say so. Is this the end of the e-world? Not a shot.

Right now, we're being attacked in Alaska. Russia, with some friends from our attacks on their regions back in yesteryear, has begun their offensive. PEACE seems to really want some American soil, eh? So far, no real extreme fighting has gone on... PEACE hasn't tanked, America hasn't tanked, and heck, we're not even really fighting there. I'd like to remind citizens to follow battle orders!. If you are in the military, the orders from your commander always super-cede anyone else's, even mine. If you're not in the military, check this paper, the paper of Eugene Harlot, or download Publius' Script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/50385) to get updated information. Publius' script is a really great invention, and we owe him a great amount of thanks for it.

This is going to be a long and hard war. The number one rule during this war should be listening. Don't fight early in the day if you don't need to. Listen for orders. If we're attacked and everyone uses their fights in Hawaii and Florida gets attacked, we have to call in tanks. That's not helpful at all. Also, don't fight in any United Kingdom Wars!. Those wars are just training wars and, for the moment, we have bigger priorities. Never fight in any wars involving the United Kingdom.

Don't panic and remain vigilant, USA, we'll get through this.

HRMAXX!

If we hadn't clicked like crazy on Alaska, I think we could have saved Nova Scotia. But the war's far from over. I'm ready to keep helping Canada! As for Alaska, looks like we'll be alright. We're holding up a good wall. I just hope we can aid our allies to the north... and that PEACE doesn't try any further cheap divide and conquer tactics. >8(

Draco,

Just shut-up. You don't have a bleeding clue wtf you're talking about. The timing of tanks is a balancing act. Send them too soon, and your enemies have time for a counter-surge. Obviously, the timing of our tanks in Nova Scotia was disrupted by server issues. S*** happens. I'll still trust Harlot's judgment over yours or some random private's.

Server problems affected all of US. I was logging in from Romania yet the server worked very slowly, a few times did not even work. Servers are not to blame.

And by the way the script written by Publius is used by Hungary by at least 2 or 3 months.

Is the Server is to blame that USA did 800K damage while Hungary did 1.7 million and Indonesia about 1.2 million?

Where is the best army in the Erepublik?
Dont say you can tank plus 800K once a day.

If you dont beleive me see this: Well it has know all the fight is it inkluding todays but the numbers not that different.

Aatticus Draco **Friends with Zoli and Ajay** need I say more??? You're not an active player, but for some reason you think you are General Patton Reborn. Look what happened in Alaska!! The problem was two-clicking americans that are too stupid to read. They wasted 200k in the UK, instead of fighting for Canada. Why don't you spam them next time. Let me tell you something draco, this is going to be a long war, and the last thing I want to see is you spamming comments in newspapers. I personally will make you regret it.

Alex Ford:
"We maybe did wrong things in past, but do we have to pay it with our freedom? Answer is: NO"

We didnt do anything to Romania and USA in the bigining. But we had to pay whit our freedom for 3 month. That was right for you.
Now You are in danger and cry for Freedom.
Why didnt you do it when you fought in Vojvodina for Croatian opression. Or in Germany like Canada? Or in Russia against Romania?

What you do have consecvenses. Like attacking France whit 7 MPP-s. Or Russia whit 15 MPP-s. It hits back now. You had month to prepare for it. Fight then.

Domyno: Of corse. Its not that becouse everybody was online to see the biggest battle end. No its Hungarian scripts. Then why did we lose in Alaska? Stop making excuses. Fight!

Well than you have prof for that do you if you say so.
Admins admited that over 2500 people was loged in that time. Compering this to the 600 that used to be in a normal high isnt supresing thet server failed.
Hungary in big battles start the weapon donation to tanks at least an hour befor the hit becouse we recognised that at battle ends servers are slowing down becouse houndreds of people want to hit et the end or wach it. Now it was thousand.

You are old enough to remember that in V1 there were similure slowdowns in less people.
