Irishman Versus Englishman

Day 1,977, 23:38 • Published in Ireland Ireland • by Arjay Phoenician III

The Brits have started the process for a resistance war here in Northern Ireland. I’m not sure how long ago they started, but as of this writing, they have all of zero supporters for it. I’m sure, in a couple of days, the fireworks will start. I’m as ready as I can be, I have my weapons and provisions stockpiled, and I’m wearing my Badass Irishman t-shirt.



I’m on the bandwagon. I’m of the growingly-popular opinion that the British can’t hang with the Irish. Oh sure, we can look at population and battle damage, but in terms of sheer ability to fight, man for man, the British can’t beat us. They know this, which is why they are relying on Poland to retake their own island and may call on them in time to try to take Scotland and Northern Ireland from us.

Scotland is one thing, but Northern Ireland is sacred. It’s a stance that begins at the time, with President MUFC992 and permeating all the way down. One island, one Ireland. We are ready to live and die by this. It’s our defining feature.

My belief is, when this string of resistance wars end, they will call on the Poles to invade us, and then they’ll take the regions. It’s a pansy-ass way to do it, but apparently, from the way the Brits are currently talking trash, they take a degree of pride in it. Shadowfang recently wrote about this in his newspaper, Samhlaiocht,

eBritain wants N.I and Scotland back. My challenge is to take it. Take it from us alone. Instead of resorting to the tactic of RWing Polish victories, which seems to be the norm, let us one on one here.

The honorable thing to do is to try to take these regions, head to head, without relying on others to do the fighting for you. If they defeat us, two adversaries giving their best shots, we can live with it and move on to fight another day. Losing to the British in this way would hurt, but it’s a hurt we can deal with.

The question is not if Ireland is up for the challenge, because I believe we are, if for no other reason, because we have the mentality for it, we want our island, complete, and we’re willing to rise and fall based on this seething desire.

The question is, is Britain able to rise to this challenge, to give their best shot and take our best shot, and let the chips fall where they may?

I’ve said it before, and a growing number of Irishmen are saying it out loud. Man for man, the British cannot beat the Irish.

That’s not just a prideful slogan. It’s provable through mathematics. I’m sure I’m not the only one to think of this, I’m sure our government and others use this when they consider their battle strategies, it’s just that I’ve never seen it around here.

In raw numbers, British citizens outnumber their Irish counterparts, 2,569 to 611 (as of 23:00 eRepublik time on Day 1,977). For ever Irishman, there’s four Brits. Further, they outgain us on citizenship damage, approximately 5.3 billion to 1.8 billion. These are things you can look up for yourself. On a man-to-man basis, however, the Irishman wins this battle, rather handily at that. How?

Citizenship Damage / Citizens = Damage per Citizen

Thus,

Average Irishman: 2,882,291
Average Englishman: 2,060,299

This is why we don’t fear the UK. For every two damage a Brit does, an Irishman does nearly three. If we are organized, if we all come together, we can compete.

The powers that be in the UK know this to be true. On some level they’re not going to admit, they know they can’t just come in and wipe us out. They know no battle with us will be a cakewalk. Even if they win, it will be hard-fought, perhaps harder than they thought, perhaps harder than they can stomach.

That’s why they throw their alliance with Poland in our faces.

At the end of the day, an Irishman is more potent than an Englishman, and despite their smacktalk and chest-thumping, in their hearts, they know they’re going to go through hell to take our land.

It’s something to take pride and comfort in as we prepare for war. We’re in no position to be cocky, no country our size deserves arrogance. We can’t let this notion distract us from being fully prepared, as individuals and as a nation. I think we can win a fair fight, us against them, with no outside interference. If we put all we have into this, yes, we will give them a fight for the ages.

And if we get such a fight, an honorable fight between bitter adversaries, we will carry our heads high, come what may.
