Hello eWorld.. and welcome to my little soapbox amongst all the chippy paper..

I think the first thing I want to talk about is new players. I still am one, but have read enough to offer this one single bit of advice..

DO NOT USE YOUR GOLD FOR FIGHTS!



SAVE IT!!


Itchy trigger finger? Scratch it, but your gold is far more valuable to you than 20 health points per a single gold..believe me, I learned the hard way!
Save it until you understand a bit more about the game.. you will understand and thank me for it.





I suppose this bit is just going to be a quick blurb on my eWorld journey so far..

14 days ago, I did what most people probably do, and clicked to join your actual city/country. I'm Northern Irish, and proudly so..
..and so clicked to join eUK. Now, I have ideas about my home country.. personally I have always wanted a United Ulster, Independent from both Ireland and the UK.



Just as in real life, that is unlikely to happen.. but it doesn't take away from my ultimate aim in game... and I am pragmatic enough to bide my time, and make sure that we always get the best for my people, regardless of it being Westminster or Dail Eireann. My arrogant pride in my home is probably my downfall though.

As I said, I started in eUK, joined the APP

(which is a brilliant wee party), and got about poking my nose into what eUK policies and ideas were. With all the prodding I always tried to see how my ideas would go down, and amongst friends, it was grand.. but from those at the top, the attitude in general towards NI was disgraceful, verging on negligent.
I tried to reconcile that with my own POV, and after a couple of days decided that eUK didn't deserve my home, and that we deserved better.. being amongst people who would treat us as their equals, and not an inferior after thought. So I applied to join eIreland.

Now this was a laugh.. here is a Northern Irishman, unashamedly so, trying to join eIreland after all the previous shenanigans between eIreland and eUK. To say I think a snowball would have been more comfortable in hell would have been an understatement.
I knew I had made the right choice though, and so had to take all the suspicion on the chin, and work away at getting citizenship. After much PMing, and being a general pain in the arse, I got citizenship.
Now, don't get me wrong, my idea of Independence goes down here no better than it did in eUK.. however, in eIreland, the Province in itself is respected more, and the goodwill toward the people, and actual want of it is, to me anyway, worth being a part of and fighting for.

Ulster - As it is, as it was, as it will always be..


There are good people in eUK, and I think the APP are an undervalued asset to eUK itself.. but I have found my home amongst the eIreland folk, and feel at one with them in a way I doubt eUK citizens (that aren't English) will ever feel... it must be a Celtic thing.
