Falling Leaves from the EDEN Tree
Sztandar
Recently, EDEN went through some completely unexpected turbulences. We've got to face it, there are some issues and we should re-work our cooperation. As Hans Landa says, 'like any enterprise, when under new management, there is always a slight duplication of efforts; most of it being a complete waste of time, but needs to be done nevertheless'. I want to help new EDEN HQ(along with its member states' presidents) memorize what's true alliance is about; basically it's about three very important things:
Respect - on internet, everything is virtual - except for the human beings on the other end of the cable. You treat'em fair, they will probably do the same for you and that's the only way business is done. There's no such thing as forced cooperation. Leaving Romania alone wasn't a good idea, telling Poland and/or Spain to withdraw from EDEN(thus put some pressure upon it) isn't a good idea either - true leadership is based on inspiration. Although sometimes we ought to endeavor to follow what is right, and not what is established, we are creatures of habits, customs and charms...all of them can make diplomacy much more effective. As Patrick Jane says, 'you can catch more bees with honey*, that's a sound business principle'.
Trust - being kind grants some positivie reputation, but obviously isn't enough. 'Promise' is the most overrated word ever invented by man. Don't promise if you're not sure about your ability to handle the problem; "I'll see you what I can do" is just enough. It's a really fair choice, because it doesn't mean anything. When you give a someone your word, now this should mean something. Being honest is the worst part as it can cause some serious collateral damage, still the most important feature of a true friend is reliability. 'A diplomat must always think twice before he says nothing', the people of Ireland say. And it's all good as long as he or she is at least trying to do something.
Mutual Benefit - EDEN is kinda like European Union, we all pat each other's backs but in the end it's every man for himself. That's why it's so important to share everything that can be share
😛regions, resources, voters and of course military. Bottom line is, weak countries need protection while strong countries need tactical advantage. Everyone gets something or no one gets anything. Otherwise we are not worthy our title, which is Brotherhood of EDEN. 'And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.', as Jules says.
EDEN HQ - please, listen to our presidents, we've elected them for a reason. After all, you're a think thank...you sell ideas, so please focus on those. Good product sells good.
Presidents - please, keep us up-to-date with EDEN activities, no classified stuff, just keep us in touch. And do something really cool, for example: I mentioned Ireland on the purpose. Save them from Junior, lads.

Good article
PENIX... I am dissapoint.
hail EDEN
fail failnix
The old EDEN is dead! Long live the new EDEN!
EDEN is controlled by poland. An empire that supports TOers who commit genocide (many babies in ePeru die because the taxes polish to'ers set), that rob ePeruvian gold... is destined to FAIL and for extension EDEN will FAIL. Like a giant snow ball an anti-EDEN movement is growing bigger and bigger and it will not stop until see Poland falling apart. ePeru will be free of polish TO'ers soon, and who's iron are they gonna look after that?. Spain is their ally... for now. Soon it will be their prey.
and MVAnarchy.. i dont know if mickiewicz is a bad man. Perhaps in RL he is not. Perhaps even he is a nice person. But in eR... he is just another TOver, just like you and your gang 🙂
oh i almost forgot!
GET OUT polish TO'ers from ePeru!! &...
FAIL EDENx5! 🙂
And more importantly - we always try to work our problems out: vide situation with Spain and Poland.
I'm just happy we get to fight along our bros from Croatia 🙂
o/ Hrvatska!
@ Mario Fung: compare how polish citizens governing Peru act (defense, strong MPP, building infrastructure) with some phoenix pTOs - who were robbing national banks (vide Croatia)!
"EDEN is controlled by poland." - and you lost your mind.
Poza tym vote.
I agree ..but something is fishy in EDEN HQ..no actions taken ..no communication whatsoever ..and it's not likely everything is perfect .
Why doesn't EDEN HQ communicate what needs to be improved and what are they doing to achieve that and how can we ..citizens of EDEN help .
FAIL EDEN! x5
fail eden x6
it's very man for himself
EVERY, but +100 for the point 🙂
PENIX's teamwork is better than Eden -.-
