Baby Steps For A Diplomatic Solution
Rod Damon
The other day I posted an article written and google translated into Hungarian. I apologize both to the Hungarians for what was probably the equivalent of a drunken 5 year old speaking and to everyone else who did not understand Hungarian or the point I was trying to make.
I will be repeating the effort in some other languages, of which I do have people who should be able to translate it a little better.
The purpose was though to try to get the communication going between different nationalities and to move forward with the Belgian Limitation Talks (BLT). The purpose of which is to get both Phoenix and EDEN nations to reduce the number of “tactical Belgians” they have. Tactical Belgians” being defined as citizens who have Belgian citizenship solely for the purpose of countering the votes of the other side to prevent a PTO or political take over.
This is not going to be a fast process. With neither side trusting the other, it will take baby steps to get things going. But I am hoping that the spirit of cooperation that got leaders from both alliances to condemn the recent PTO in South Africa might extend to the start of cooperation in Belgium.
One step at a time is all it takes.
One of the comments I had received was “Just out of curiosity: Why should we listen to your "request"? Show us the good example, and make the first step yourself.🙂
“
Ok, here goes, the following “Belgians” have given up their citizenship: John Gay, Onishi, AlexBerkman, and Lucius Varenus. I list these four only because they can be verified as having been Belgian. The first three had all ran for Congress in February and Lucius Varenus was cited in the stats article
In order for this process to work though, both sides need to provide the names of “Belgians” for the other to verify and then in small steps we can reduce the threat to Belgium. EDEN is ready to begin. Is Phoenix ready to do the same?

Reduce the stockpiles of Belgians on both sides!
im tired of being belgian
sais someone with a eUSA military avatar and Belgian citizenship 😛 (just kidding).
(sorry 2 people 😁)
what, you should be happy. Im an EVIL EDEN PTOer RAHRAHRAGE and i want out🙂
Sounds like a reasonable request. If the two sides can't cooperate in Belgium where can they work together?
Make the second step, I made the first.
I left eBelgium, and you?
What will be your solution if many persons go to a party to take the control?
March 15th, you know that time, the election of the president of party, who chooses the members of Congress.
Rod, it is a game, and there are many strategic choices.
There are many foreigners it is a fact, but they voted for belgians and you ask them to leave?
Elynea,
I am not asking any person who is actually active in Belgium to leave. The entire purpose of BLT is to reduce the number of "tactical Belgians", those citizens whose only involvement with Belgium is to come here and vote.
If someone is active here in any other fashion, politically, socially, economically, militarily, I have absolutely no desire for them to leave.
BLT is solely designed to reduce the treat of PTO by all sides.
Heidar,
I suggest you reread http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/putting-myself-on-the-chopping-block-1229814/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/putt[..]1/20
Even though I am enjoying my time here in Belgium and politics, I am willing to stand aside.
Get your countrymen to the bargaining table. Make me prove that I will follow through on my promise.
I'm shadowukcs and I support Rod Damon's message

Attention, il faut se méfier de ce Rod Damon ! ça sent la eCIA à plein nez !!
Ils vont infiltrer des joueurs hostiles à l'indépendance de le Belgique sans que l'on s'en rendent compte !
Méfiance !
Blackshark,
Instead of trying to spread fear, why don't you try to show why my idea is wrong?
Au lieu d'essayer de semer la peur, pourquoi ne pas essayer de montrer pourquoi mon idée est erronée?
