I, Tyler F Durden, Am Resigning from this Administration.
Tyler F Durden
_____________________________
No fancy pictures.
Yesterday, we made Peace with eFrance.
There are some who cheer...
I am not one of them. This is not because I am a blood thirsty war-monger who desires to invade eFrance.
This is because of how we have treated our allies - allies that gave us the ultimate sacrifice in our time of need.
Today, folker, the Country President of eSpain addressed his nation. In that address, he stated that:
"...we have not and we will never be signing a peace treaty with the conditions of which the USA and Canada have signed before."
"...We think that closing a war which has 10 MPPS in favour is not the best move also without consulting nor respecting the wishes of allies like Spain or even the rest of EDEN who received the information once the decision was already taken."
"...Canada and the USA have just taken into account their own interests without thinking on that finishing this war can be against the interests of his allies in Europe. Taking decisions on your own could damage on a direct or indirect way to a fellow nation which does not make you a really good ally..."
" ...the only one country that has earned something out of this is France. France has been managing the situation in order to gain a free security with American frontiers, knowing that france which will never quit PEACE, this is why we think that this move has been a foolish move rather than a brilliant one led USA and Canada."
"We are allied countries and we will continue to be so, but we should have stated our points of view before. We do not feel betrayed but profoundly disappointed."
* * *
Those are the President of eSpain's words - NOT mine. (all bold emphasis is the eSpanish President's)
There are some who think that I am "throwing oil onto the fire" when I stand by my principles,
by comments I have made and articles I have written.
I do NOT fear such people.
A REAL man does NOT fear people who attack his stand upon principle.
So, in the spirit of this Administration, which I can no longer give my support to...
I hereby resign as "Advisor of Strategic Services" (A.S.S.) as clearly my thoughts on national strategy are not desired as I was not consulted in this international relations debacle. Instead I have been singled out as one to blame by a member of this administration for the sentiment of the eSpanish people towards us.
I have not consulted with this Government concerning my resignation, as clearly consultation is not what we seem to be about...anymore.
I shall close thusly -
I do not propose impeachment over this - this is MY stand. I have learned a few things in my 33 years in life, and here in eLife. One of those things which parallel between both worlds is how you treat they who hold your interests as their own.
I do not - nor will I EVER believe that how we have conducted our self interest in regard to our treatment of our allies is becoming of a Canadian - or eCanadian for that matter.
Signed,
Tyler F Durden,
Okay, one picture...

That's too bad to hear.
Tyler I admire your Character, Integrity and Honour. You have clearly displayed your moral intestinal fortitude and I applaud you for Bravery!
The Companion of the Order of Canada is well Deserved, you are a National hero to many and a great e Canadian.
Sad to hear of your actions, but encouraged and thrilled at your reasons. Way to go!
Despite there clearly being some sore emotions, this is a graceful exit. A principled stand is always commendable, no matter if someone agrees with those principles or not. For that reason, I applaud you.
On a side note, I'm pretty sure that this can be summed up by saying that the administration kicked its own A.S.S.
Your actions only further solidify my belief that you are an honourable man. This administrations loss is a gain for those of us who stand on principle above all else.
I applaud you sir!
I feel sorry to hear about this, but i have to say I admire your integrity and honorability (if that word exists 🙂.
Just wanted to remark that you weren't "throwing oil into the fire", you were only a messenger, now your neighbours know how we, the spaniards, feel about the peace treaty with France.
Thanks.
tyler u might not know me becuase i'm from eAustralia i admire u but i am sorry to hear about this 🙁
You're a man of honour. You have all my spanish respect.
Good luck.
Thanks, its nice not every one forget their friends.
takes a big man to stand up for what he believes and not keep silent for the good of ones own career! glad to have somebody like you in the game!!
There is always the next administation
Much respect Tyler!
This is interesting seeing as i was under the impression from our PM that all our allies had been consulted on this matter? I must have read wrong... and for a man so hell bent on allies and helping friends....
Thank you Tyler for your integrity and honour. We have some real allies between canadians after all.
Thank you for your integrity.
Regards!
Tyler, you are a national hero man.
I can only respect someone with such adhearance to their principles.
Principles and standards are what make great men stand apart from the rest. You have shown yours, so from this point on many eyes will be on you. Your path from here will be watched carefully, good luck 🙂
Yes, As far as i'm concerned Respect is earned not given! And you tell it like it is,you are earning my respect through your actions, so i commend you sir!
I admire your principles and integrity. Hopefully you will return to the political arena in the next round.
Come to eSpain, we have cookies 😉
Much love to TFD
OMG TYLER! MUCH RESPECT BRO!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!
No seriously tho, it was a good idea. Good job.
Without allies like Spain, we'd still be under occupation by nations like, uhhhhhhhmmmmmm....... FRANCE!
Nooooo. The loss is too great. The message you carry and its profundity are the hallmarks of what makes this game so good. How does one change the world, when one resiles from it? As Gandhi said, we must be the change we want to see in the world. We need you Mr. Durden, now more than ever. It is in peace time is when fat cats roam free.
I respect your decision, I am simply at a loss to accept its consequences for the greater good.
Your honour is without question. Your motives beyond reproach.
Psh, TFD, whatever man. Why wouldn't you want to be an ASS anymore? 😉
Oh, and what ABOUT BROS BEFORE HOS?!?!
Spain is a BRO guys! We didn't have to spit in their face because we wanted to get in France's pants.
ONE. LAST. THING.
I promise
TFD FOR PRESIDENT...urh, at some point
The Spaniards are hardly reliable anyway.
Funky Hum24n@: You have any complain about the spanish acts as allies?
Maybe to get our country erased cause we try to block North America attacks are a show of not reliable friendship?
Or maybe to fight hardly in the defense of Canada?
We aren´t the one´s how have sign a peace treat with an enemy with out caring about our friends.
It´s really incredible the shit we must read.
Bravo Tyler, BRAVO.
@Funky Hum24n >>> You seem to easily forget that Spain lent 2k gold to the US, we sacrificed our WHOLE territory, hospitals and defense systems, left our own fights for after US was secured, and defended US and Canada till our last point of wellness. Summarizing: +1 P. Velarde.
I'm sad, just too sad.
Spain is and always will be a Great Friend to Canada, I remember Spain’s help and I to went to Spain after the fall of Canada to defend this good friend. Canadians as citizens not governments are the back bone of this country and we will always be there to help and defend Spain whenever her hour of need arises. The peace with France is unconditional, if she attacks Spain, we will help you our friends as that is what friends will do for one another.

Tyler, i see how this decision does put stress on your job and approve of you stepping down. Hopefully you can fight on the EDEN front in the future to complete your needs.
wow, u quit yur made up job in a game. real beepin heroic. seems like ppl need to realize the drama on this is unnecessary, as a true gamer, u play what u see as best strategy. whether peace with france is that idk, but critical analysis and not phoney posturing from someone who like to honk their own horn. Cheers!
Bravo. Voted.
I don't respect you.
I admire you.
I think eFrance deserves to be invaded.
I hate the peace treaty.
I am disgusted as a Canadian that we make up positions like Advisor of Strategic Services and then don't use them. Seriously is their any rebuff to this? Cypher Rahl, please explain yourself as I may be mistaken. PM if you do not want to post. Congrats Tyler on publishing your stance.
Well put T. F. Durden.

excellent! great stand - is this motivated by a pure desire? a lot can be said about peace at all costs vs. war at all costs. - there will come a time when we'll need gents like you, Tyler Francis Durden, to lead the new generation who have been besieged by a militant espain
...but my middle name is not Francis.
😉
My friends know my middle name, and some of my detractors as well.
Only a true Eman stands for what is right, and turning your back on allies is not. Shame on those who sit in office smugly while our friends still suffer. Should T.F.D. make a comeback in the future i'm sure many would rally to someone with cajones.
Woah, I get back to eCanada and this is the top story. I didn't see this coming. It's good to see somebody standing by their principles these days. Very rare and refreshing. Good luck to you TFD, and thanks for all you've done for our eCountry.
Funky Hum24n, shut up you little punk.
A good case for having peace with France has never been put forward and the eCanadian nation and people have not been consulted just like our allies.
This is unacceptable.
Fabian? Fabio? Fernando?
FrigginoughttobeournextPrez?
Only after disaster can we be resurrected.
who will replace you after your gone?
I agree fully, you made the right choice. It sends a solid message. I am saddened however that eCanada is the weaker for not having a man of your caliber sitting in it's government.
respect!
TFD,
That's not how you quit a job.
This is how you quit a job:
