A Severe Case of the Blues

Day 619, 14:24 Published in Indonesia Pakistan by Longbaugh


PEACE has now conquered a total of fifteen states; reducing the once-mighty 50 to a much less sexy 35. The most recent victory was in Kansas where Russian troops destroyed the Q5 hospital put there by President scrabman right before he left office a few weeks ago. As a result of our obliteration of Kansas and our invasion of the American midwest, President Harrison Richardson has moved the Federal Reserve to Washington, D.C.

The epidemic now spreading throughout the remaining states is that of whining. President Harrison Richardson (who was temporarily banned for violating forum etiquette) is spearheading this movement in his newspaper The Harry Dick Times. They're complaining about game mechanics that allow invading nations to press new attacks when other battles are still open, but restrict defending nations from starting new battles until 24 hours have passed. Don't bring up the fact that ATLANTIS used the same strategy against Indonesia months back. No, no... don't call them on their hypocrisy. By all means... don't do that.

What President Harrison Richardson and his lemmings don't seem to realize is that their problem is that they can't seem to manage a win. Had they won in Kansas they could have immediately attacked Colorado, or New Mexico... or California from Oregon. Instead, the ineptitude of American leadership sees Kansas fall to Russia, the obliteration of one of their three Q5 hospitals, tremendous damage to American morale, and Indonesia now attacking Oregon to seal California within its ever-expanding borders (likely for good). Now the mighty United States—which always claimed New World superiority and beat its chest in the face of PEACE whenever it could—has resigned to negotiations with their enemy. Because, friends, they know they can’t win.

To make it even worse for the United States the mighty Eugene Harlot, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has stepped down from his post and has apparently been so disenfranchised with PEACE’s absolute beatdown of his country that he has decided to quit eRepublik entirely. One of the backbones of the United States military for so long has decided to QUIT.

Like I’ve said many times prior, we are teaching the United States a much-deserved lesson and we will continue fighting.

And, we will win.
