Just swinging my sword...
Allegra Avionte
Resistance is futile, or so it seems in the case of the Asgard debates. It would seem that most of eCanada, or at least most of the more vocal in the e-nation, have their minds made up that Asgard is where it’s at.
Though many minds are made up, a recent comment on an article by another citizen has referred to Asgard as a hair shirt that we now must wear. Upon explanation, it was stated that Asgard, as a hair shirt, is something uncomfortable to which we must commit. If the union is uncomfortable, why then support it. I for one would not clap and cheer if I made a bed of finishing nails and was then told that I must lie in it…and I definitely would not welcome the experience if someone else made the bed of nails and forced me then to occupy it. (Note: Asgard, I am in no way likening you to a bed of nails.)
This is exactly what seems to be happening. It seems that the nation is indeed divided on this issue. Those that are supporting the alliance are, in some cases, going along with the crowd or doing what they think is mandatory to restore our nation to its former glory and stature.
Now, I am a young eCanadian, but to the best of my understanding the initial referendum that pointed in the direction of Asgard was held “months ago” (our fearless leaders words, not mine). Making a decision based on facts that very well could have changed seems like; well it seems like a bad idea. Just as an example, you wouldn’t go buy a boat today based on the sum of money you held two months ago. It appears as if action is being taken and things are being moved along so that this small fraction of history in eCanada does not become another period of inactivity from the powers that be. It has been admitted that if joining Asgard does not for some reason pan out in a copasetic manner that there is no backup plan.
There have been seasoned players exorcised from the community, and there has been the addition of a multitude of new citizens and new ideas--not to mention new circumstances.
Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying to abandon the relationship we have forged with Asgard. They are good countries and I, in good faith, believe that they do want a mutually beneficial relationship with eCanada. So Asgard, it’s not you it’s me. I think that everything needs to be reevaluated from a current stance and the decision needs to be based on the facts and realities of the present as well as the needs of the current eCanada and its presently active citizens.
More and more it seems those with concerns have begun to come out of hiding and are voicing their concerns and views. To those who have issues regarding this alliance, time is running out. So sound off like you got a pair.
These views are mine, and this is my article; therefore, I can swing my sword in any method or direction of my choosing. For those of you who don‘t like what I had to say…swing your own damn sword 🙂

Ooh quelle suprise! Just be careful though, we wouldn't want you to break a nail! 😉 lol
Very well written! Proud to say I'm now a subscriber!
Great article! Though as someone who has actually laid down on a bed of nails and been sat on while doing so (a physics demonstration) I have to tell you, they are surprisingly comfortable, there wasn't any pain involved from the bed, being sat on by the presenter did hurt my ribs a bit though...

lol, I have also done it, I just needed the "visual", if you will 🙂 I was not sat on at the time however. It was more I was counting on the perception others who have not been so "fortunate" (haha)and how they would perceive the bed of nails lol. I hope I will have many more opportunities to furnish the eNation with my thoughts--whether they like it or not 😃 On another note, congratulations on your achievements with CoI. I am proud to be a member of this MU! o7
Thanks, but WE have achieved this. It takes all of us working together to make an MU work. EVERY member counts Allegra. 🙂 I'm fortunate to just be the most visible member, of a great bunch of patriotic eCanadians!
