Attack on the Belgian UK Region - A Simple Statement
Dishmcds
The argument is not so simple.
According to the admins, when the MPP's activate for a defending country, they remain active. Fair enough. They've retaken the French regions. Fair Enough. They've fought hard and I commend them for it.
But let me point out simple flaws in the admin's set up of the war module, and why it's rediculous:
When we took Lower Normandy, we were supposed to receive a part of the French Treasury. I accepted that it was only 40 Francs or so, because they had removed all their money. When they retook it, they received 100 Gold and 7000 GBP's. I asked George himself on the issue, as it was my understanding that they only received portions of my treasury when they took UK regions.
His response was the since we took Lower Normandy, it became a UK region. That's why they were able to get some of our treasury.
Yet we were not allowed to defend it as UK territory, as our MPP's were not active.
Fair Enough. I accepted that as well.
Now the French, even going against what Elvea said in her previous 8 interviews, have attacked a UK region, in eBelgium. Belgium merged with the UK way back in April, by choice, and is a UK region pre-V1. And we're still not allowed to use an MPP to defend it.
Not to mention they can use their MPP's to attack it.
So, I'll say this, and I don't care who says what.
If the war module is not fixed and/or stopped, corrected, and so on, then I'm done. Start the impeachment now, if you'd like. The fact of the matter is, that the admin team has purposely violated both #1 and #2 of their own rules. You cannot consider something "UK territory" under one rule and not under the other. If you're going to take money from me under one, then you must allow me to defend it properly under the other.
George, Cristi, Alexis, Bogdan, and so on, if it's not corrected, I'm leaving and I'm sure there are others. I understand why protective pacts are used to defend French regions, but you're being rediculous and shortsighted in it's application.
I don't care what it takes. I don't want to hear counterarguments nor reasoning as to why you can't do this or that. If it isn't fixed, I won't log into Erepublik anymore. I've written 500 articles in support, I've spent more time than most of your dev team working on developing two different countries over the last year, and I have every right to be pissed that you're inability to get things right is causing this situation.
Have fun in Erepublik. They might as well make a rule in the Big Ten that says you can't mess with Romania or France. That's how they treat it anyway.
Cheers, most likely for good.

Extremely pissed off, dedicated Erepublik citizen, for more than a year now.

I'm new and i consider you an utter legend! You've already earned my respect.
Fully agreed.
You talk more sense than any of the admins that run this game - the situation is absolutely ridiculous. Voted.
Voted, stop this madness.
Ditto. Read my comments I've sent you via the "Contact" form and what I've left on the eUK forums.
Fix it. Now.
Post this In the US and Canada
Voted
I firmly agree with this.
Agreed, pissed off aswel.
I have been considering paying real money into the game, but now I see no point as the game appears to be unfair.
I probably will give it more of a chance as I am new to it, but I don't see any reason or point to me spending money on it at the moment.
Voted.
I think more will be off than just Dish if the admins don't sort this out.
What's with all this bawwwing? The rules were all there before YOU attacked. Next time try to learn them beforehand.
My paper was one of the ones she denied an attack in, and as the attack happened moments after I published I feel really stupid now.
you quit because you loose?
Disagree. Even Belgium and UK merged under agreement, this game doesn't have merge nations feature to become one country. So your argument is non sense
@Euphonix: You didnt sound like that when Romania ran over Hungary, did you?
I thought so. All I can remember from you then was "ADMIN FAVOR ROMANIA!", so shut your piehole, youngin.
It's not an attack against UK.
It's the liberation of Wallony, oppressed by Dutch and English people.
😮)
Thought ATLANTIS liked liberating people, my bad.
@Sema: It's "lose", so learn to spell English before trying to debate with me.
@Kirill: Then the attack against France was to free it from French Oppresion. They have no claim to that land.
Grow up.
Oh, BTW.
"portions of my treasury"
Thought it was UK's treasury, not yours personnally.
What a surprise.
Read the rules, Dish. They are weird, i completely agree, but they have also given headaches to PEACE, trust me. The point is that WE made sure to understand them well before waging war.
agreed and voted
@Dishmcds: Could you be a good soul and link me to that statement that you say to remember from me?
If you're trying to free Belgium, you should know that they were the ones that initiated the merger.
@Kirill: I am an elected President, so it's my responsibility to represent my country.
You'd understand that if you ever had the intelligence to be elected.
@Matthieu: Is a decoder part of the rules? Your arguments make no sense. Standing to protect rules you disagree with is as illogical as implementing them to begin with.
Read my comment don't whine eUK
@ Kirill:
Oppression? We have autonomy! We're just fine, so get the hell outta here.
Who's the imperialist here??
Voted.
The rules are more than weird, they are unfair. The Admins are letting you use DEFENSIVE aids to help their ATTACK - and we don't even get our MPPs!
scilt ende vrient my fellow frenchman. I swear to god if you take belgium I will make it my personal goal to destroy france from the inside.
Nice, gay-Mexican-moustache-man can speak! (sorry, couldn't keep this in 😛)
Anyways, I'm RL Belgian and I don't feel oppressed by the eUK. You guys are pulling facts out of your ass to justify your actions. 🙂
We need some clearance about this from the Admins asap! But as usual, we're going to have to wait for this until it's too late.

@Euphonix: Once again, your Engrish is horrible. Learn to read tenses, generalisations, and verbs. You, in that sense, means the defending nations, or in that case PEACE.
Voted!
We can talk in portuguese if you prefer.
Dish: ha, the decoder argument xD Well, to be exact, most French don't use a "decoder". But anyway, it's the lamest argument ever. I dare you to say that UK doesn't cheat in trivia. Seriously, you must be a freaking educated people, with always 5 supershots (at least for soldiers with Q4 people).
Maybe you would earn a bit more respect from other nations (including your allies) if you were less biased, more honest, and not always retreating behind a wall of RL propaganda or anti-admins whining when something doesn't go as you wish. "Adult" would be the world but i don't want to be rude.
Voted
@Matthieu: I actually only have one face, which everyone sees, as opposed to most people. You probably have zero idea what the word "adult" means, considering you're probably not at that age yet.
We can talk in ten years, when you have responsibilities beyond a keyboard on that, though.
angry people there
Not to mention you completely disregarded that ACTUAL response. But I figured you would. Whole two faces and all.
Spamming your article ( http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/the-ukrp-whip-115172/1 ) is indeed a wonderfully mature behaviour...
But as always, i blame your ingame attitude, and you turn on the "RL trash talk" mode. Okay, end of transmission, goodbye.
@Matthieu: It doesn't matter whether or not the French are using a decoder because the French aren't fighting. If it weren't for the Indonesians the UK could have buried France by now, several times over.
Dishmcds quit erepublik already, no one likes you anyway.
@Matthieu: Believe it or not, there are many people in many countries that like me. Just because you're slow, I won't hold it against you.
@Phusion: Plan any screwed up economies lately? Oh wait, thats why most of the modern world doesnt like you.
My fault.
Whoa, some people are so eager to start a Peace v Atlantis debate that they let the point fly right over their head, impressive.
Voted.
I disagree, I like him
im sorry dish,
i talk english a little-little in your newspaper,
so other river dont speak delicious your belly button,

that's why dont play fire first.
*in indonesian language*
