Day 46: Admins Suspend War Between U.S. And Russia
Desertfalcon
After one of the most bizarre bugs in the game the admins have decided to suspend the war between the U.S. and Russia for 12 hours. Earlier today the U.S. planned to use the retreat tactic in Missouri in their war with Russia in order to keep the initiave. Emerick tried to retreat in Missouri so that they could then open up a new battle in Kansas to keep Russia blocked however for some odd reason he ended up attacking Kansas twice and after the U.S. and Russia both retreated Kansas the region remained in Russian hands with both sides winning battles within three minutes of each other. The glitch allowed Russia to then attack Oklahoma and just about end the American offensive until the unthinkable happened. The admins soon noticed the amount of complaints from American's and after looking into it they decided to suspend the war for 12 hours to take a closer look at what happened and adjust the regions accordingly. This means that the U.S. will likely be able to attack Kansas tomorrow morning and keep its initiative with Russia.
In Europe, Spain is on track to liberate yet another region with their resistance war in Murcia. It appears that the French are only focused on defending key regions such as Asturias which the French successfully defended from a resistance war a couple of days ago. Asturias is the only high iron region in the Spanish regions and seeing as it holds a good chunk of Spain's old companies it weakens Spain substantially if France can hold that region. It is also worth noting that although Spain has liberated five regions, none of those regions hold any high resources.
Canada is also trying to take one of their regions back from PEACE as last night Canada launched an invasion into the high diamond region of Nunavut which is occupied by Hungary. Right now the wall is over 750k into no mans land and it appears that Hungary will win this one without tanking but Canada will likely just attack another region tomorrow so that they can continue to block PEACE. Back down in the U.S. a battle is raging in New Mexico as the U.S. seeks to continue its westward push against Indonesia. Currently it is a two pronged attack as not only is the U.S. invading but a resistance war has been started in New Mexico as well by former chairmen of the JCS, Eugene Harlot. Currently the conquest battle is leaning towards the U.S. by about 200k which should hold unless the Indonesians tank like crazy at the end. The U.S. also attacked the Portuguese region of Georgia after losing Tennessee in order to keep them blocked as well.
Lastly I have two announcements not related to war. First I will probably start releasing these earlier in the afternoon as it's much harder to write these articles when your tired. Second if I can advertise in my own newspaper I need a job. I have 12.81 skill in manufacturing and can easily produce 11+ production units at a Q5 company, PM me if interested. That just about does it for today, I will be back tomorrow afternoon.

Truly amazing. Admins are for who in this game?
This bug was so depressing, not the least how the USA managed to orchestrate a crushing victory over PEACE in Oklahoma. We literally tanked it down to zero in the last 60 seconds of battle. It was awesome, and then all hell broke loose with the combat engine.
Finally admministration seems to be doing something about all these fraken bugs!
I'd love to see bugs like that squashed.
As always, thanx for the update.
Actually only this battle http://www.erepublik.com/en/battles/show/7295" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/battles/show[..]/7295 that make confusion. Others are fine
1. USA won in Oklahoma (That made border with Kansas,Russia)
2. USA attacked Kansas
3. Russia retreated from Kansas
4. Russia succeed defending Missouri
5. Russia attack Oklahoma
So in my opinion the fair result is: Battle of Oklahoma still run, but Kansas belong to USA not Russia like now. Well its only my opinion. Let admin analyze it first and I hope both sides accept any decision admin will make.
Keep the fun guys...
if you have to ask you don't want to know.
Lol, of course the "tactic" doesn't work for us.... Works for PEACE multiple times 🙂
Oh DF
"Emerick tried to retreat in Missouri so that they could then open up a new battle in Kansas to keep Russia blocked however for some odd reason he ended up attacking Kansas twice and after the U.S. and Russia both retreated Kansas the region remained in Indonesian hands with both sides winning battles within three minutes of each other"
I think you need to make correction, how come remained in Indonesian hands? Maybe Russian is what you mean...
Voted DF. Nice...
How come these bugs only seem to happen when someone is against PEACE? Are there any other examples of this happening, in some other war? Or even happening to PEACE? I admit I don't pay much attention internationally and I sure don't know what goes on with other countries wars, but is this a random glitch or is this something someone is "doing"? People hack and steal gold and all kinds of bizarre things. Conspiracy theory...
I love theses articles. Keep them coming.
Bugs affect PEACE too it is just that we do not bitch so much about it.
@Zoli: Don't take too harsh bro 🙂 The more they get used to war modules, the more tolerant they will be to any bugs that might occur 🙂
@Zoli:
We should all complain about bugs! So feel free to complain loudly. This is a game that is supposed to be fun, and it becomes seriously less fun when some inconsistent weirdness happens, and we all have to wonder why.
It never happens to peace in such critical battles so stop trolling and lying zoli.
We can all guess how u d have been bitching had this happened to your stupid ecountry . You re extremely prone to bitching
Thanks DF good stuff. I was seriously confused when everything broke down this afternoon and couldn't get any information.
hey american the bug hit PEACE when USA attacked portugal with her 1st couter offensive, portugal can't retreat 🙂
we dont bitching about it 🙂
TA😨 Shut up. This is a game, keep it fun.
Another great article, i expect nothing less from you.
And the admins actually did something about it, Probably because they had Emerick, the DOD, and half of eUSA up their @$$ trying to get our fair shot in.
holy macaroni!
Great article
Yes, PEACE never complains about anything.
That's what I admire so much about them.
Some days ago Portugal wanted to retreat, but wasnt able due to bug. We sent many tickets and contacted admins directly, but they did nothing. Now they are suspending the battle for USA request, I think its not fair. Same we asked an admin abou the PEACE proposal between USA and Indonesia, they said that it closes the direct war. So Indonesia voted yes to the proposal.
To be honest when i was president of Indonesia. I faced the same problem, i cannot retreat, and i sent tickets, admin replied they will solve this problem meanwhile they asked me to keep trying to retreat. I wasn't whining that time and always look for the future 🙂
Then we had Battle of New Mexico postponed about 1 hour, admin said they need to analyze and check the rule. In my opinion why battle need to be suspended? Admin can check and analyze as background process. That was the first time battle stopped and resumed, plus i got temp banned because of my dissapointment to admin.
Well just trust our admin and keep fun
@Daizengar
Of course we'd complain. It would be like being billed for something you never purchased and then saying "Oh well, shit happens".
As long as your in the right, complain with all your might. Or something along those lines.
@ Nico
thats another reason why I think its better I release these earlier in the day.
ROFL this is win.
So they restart the oklahoma battle, but don't even give us Kansas?
So they get Oklahoma and Kansas, which should be ours? When I clicked the fight in OK it said your country has no current battles with this country.
What exactly are the "retreat tactic" and "initiative"?
A bug that has the ramifications that this one has should be corrected. Far less issues have been rectified. Why can't this one be?
Seriously, if bugs affect you, please, by all means, complain about it. If you don't complain about the bugs, the admins will never know what to fix. I'm not saying to say "this is stupid, the admins only like PEACE, the admins hate America," but the admins really do need some idea as to what is going wrong with the game. Getting rid of bugs, which needs player feedback, is necessary for a good game.
I nominate Desertfalcon and Emerick for "Top Heros"...so far...in this "GREAT WAR". Our awesome American leader shows more initiative than ANY PRESIDENT, ANYWHERE! The 'Falcon" keeps Americans 'in-the-know'...like NO PUBLISHER BEFORE HIM!
WOW!!!! Great aeticle and its really amazing the admins acted on it. Hope the putcome is as good
Zoli, PEACE GC doesnt complain about bugs, They note them then EXPLOIT them. Who found out how to Spoof Q5 weapons? PEACE GC. Who found out how to SPOOF billions of fake gold? PEACE GC. Who then used both exploits to then take over land they couldnt normally take? PEACE GC. The admins didnt do squat about it because they show their true bias.
The difference is this time, displeasing the eUS citizens might lead to them losing too much income, so for the moment, they have to look into it.
Go America! Take back our territory from those nasty russians!
Wow, you mean the Admins actually DID something?
