Day 618: Contreversy and Victory
•
by Kaan the Great
Despite the POTUS' suspension we still won two battles, today. South Carolina and Wyoming. And with the wall up to 90K and 15 hours to go Kansas doesn't look too bad either .
There are two big controversies today. One is the suspension of our president Harrison Richardson. The admin have still not made it clear exactly why he was banned. Please sign this petition:

The other controversy of the day was the Indonesians withdrawal from New Mexico yesterday and their subsequent attack. According to the game wiki, Indonesia should not have been able to attack after retreating. The admins need to clarify why the game isn't behaving like it should.
This lack of clarity on the ban or the broken mechanics makes a lot of us feel like the admins are taking PEACE' side. Seriously it looks bad. Because if the enemy can attack even after they lost a battle that means it that who is attacking comes down to who can click the attack button first, and with our president banned, it kinda looks like the admins want PEACE to remain on the offensive indefinately. Surely this is not what they want.
UPDATE:
I think I've solved the second controversy. Lets examine the battle rules:

Suppose that country A is the attacker and country B is the defender: CHECK
Case 2: the first 24 hours have passe😛
CHECK
Case 2.1: there are active battles in the war: CHECK
* the attacker in active battles can attack other regions also: OK
When Indonesia retreated from New Mexico they were still attacking Nevada. They retreated at 10:43 and the battle in Nevada ended at 11:35. So really no bug there. There was a forum post from the admin about this, but they didn't explain anything, they just said that there were no anomalies. A more detailed explanation would have saved me and a lot of people hours of frustration.

It's a conspiracy.
yea
You must be basing your information off of other articles rather then checking the facts yourself as the first problem of your article was fixed quite some time ago, http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/1298146" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/prof[..]8146
Apparently it was the forums.

@GoBucks. It's not fixed. I want to know what he said to get banned. They don't need to print it word for word, just give us the jist of what he actually did. The forum has more than one rule.
Ok, so he was banned for not respecting forum rules. Anyone have a clue what he did? (and no, I don't personally have the time to go search the thousands of forum posts to find the one that caused the temp ban, even if I had a clue what thread to start with).
Exactly Maelyn, the forum doesn't even have a search function, and for all I know the offending posts have been deleted.
The ability to attack multiple territories at once is still a way to exploit the game rules and remain on the offensive forever. You attack in two territories, then withdraw from one shortly before it ends and restart it, and continue indefinitely.
It might be part of the game mechanics, but it is most certainly a broken mechanic. No one on either side should be able to hold initiative indefinitely.
Hmm, a bit depressing, especially this part about President.
I hope admins will change they mind soon, it's worse than another failure on the battlefield.
By the way, I've got some problem with MI, maybe somebody could help me. Two days ago I tried to join this military branch and filled in an application form. Since I didn't receive any answer, I went to RO RivaS. He sent me to the new RO (Seuss), but this guy is still out of reach. Although I've got a lot of patience, it is kinda irritating.
Does an eUSA have so much skilled soldiers that there's no need for another one? If anybody can help, please PM me.
@Szeine, patience. We've just had a fairly eventful 2 day period. New command is getting settled in. We will get to you. If you have any questions, fell free to PM me.
