Legendás csata [Epic Battle]
Quicksilver
A note: I wrote this article in the morning, when the battle for SGP was closed down when we were pulling down the wall. It is exactly the point I made in my previous article: the battle was closed down in order to Romania avoid a defeat. They could have done it honestly, I know that - but admins did not believe it, so they saved it for Romania in this way. I intended to publish it straight away, but erepublik was down and today I had no internet. So it is late and although it has a hopeful mood, I do not now feel that hopefulness. Admins took it away.
Legendás csata…
Amikor tegnap este, a csata előtt megláttuk az erep website állapotát, és a közelgő csatára gondoltunk, kétségbeestünk nem kicsit. Gyakorlatilag használhatatlan volt. Az oldal egy örökkévalóságig töltött, kétpercenként kidobott a login oldalára, a trivia-ablak állandóan lefagyott, elveszíttetve a wellness-t, a sebzést és a fegyvert… és a fal 37 k-n állt, a látszólag lehetetlen vállalkozás lebontani Románia legjobbjaival szemben. Mégis mentünk, megindultunk, mert nem volt más választásunk. Makacsul, konokul mentünk, harcoltunk a fallal, a fagyásokkal, az eltűnő monetaryval, a captchával nehezített donate-tel, mindennel harcban álltunk ami létezett.
Fegyvereket küldünk egymásnak, gifteket, és aranyat számolatlanul, mindennel harcoltunk, mi a kezünk ügyébe esett, amíg lassan, egészen lassan a fal elkezdett lemorzsolódni. Észre se vettem a múló időt, a kezem rágörcsölt az egérgombra, írtam, küldtem, szerveztem, harcoltam vég nélkül…álmosak voltunk, fáradtak és kimerültek, de mégis harcoltunk, mert láttuk az esélyt haloványan felderengni. Hívtuk a barátokat, szövetségeseket és ők jöttek, amint tudtak. Egymás mellett harcoltunk, s együtt káromkodtunk, amikor az ablak ezredszerre is lefagyott, a fegyver elveszett, és olyan frusztráló volt, hogy néha majdnem fel is akartuk adni. De nem tettük meg, hanem egész éjjel folyamatosan ütöttük a falat – s az reggelre nagyrészt leomlott.
S ekkor jöttek ők megint. Ugyanúgy akadályozták őket is a bugok, nagyon is jól tudom, s letagadni sem akarom. De mégis mi álltunk jobban, mégis mi vezettünk, ahogy a fal centiről centire morzsolódott lefelé, s ahogy láttam az erőfeszítést itt is, ott is egy dolog, egy leírás jutott eszembe: legendás csata. Legendás csata ez, holott még vége sincsen, s noha a végeredménye igencsak fontos nekem, ez nem fog semmin változtatni – erre a csatára emlékezni fogunk. Mindkét oldal beleadott mindent, ami volt, aranyat, fegyvert, embert, erőfeszítést, amíg a szerverek – vagy az adminok – véget nem vetettek a heroikus küzdelemnek.
Üvöltöttünk mérgünkben, és a szavak, amiket kimondtunk, leírtunk nem idézhetőek e cikkben; de elhangzottak, mert annyira iszonyúan frusztráló volt a győzelem közelében ez, hogy az leírhatatlan. Ott voltunk néhány lépésnyire ettől a lehetetlen s mégis megvalósítható győzelemtől, és elvették tőlünk. Magyarázat és indoklás nélkül. Egyszerűen mondva elcsalták tőlünk ezt a győzelmet – még akkor is, ha nem volt megnyerve a csata, a fal egy része még állt. De mi mentünk és harcoltunk, és a fal egyre lejjebb rombolódott, és mostanra már elfoglalhattuk volna a régiót.
Mostanra megint miénk lehetett volna Southern Great Plain.
De így is… gazdagabbak lettünk egy legendás csatával.
Én örülök kis dolgoknak is az élettől.
Tényleg.
An Epic Battle…
When, during the evening we saw the state of erepublik website, and thought of the battle starting soon, we despaired. It was practically unusable. The page loading forever, pushing me out to login every five minutes, the trivia window kept freezing on me, loosing wellness, and damage, as well as weapons… and the wall was standing at 37 k, a seemingly insurmountable task against Romania’s might. But we went, for we had no other choice. We went doggedly, determined that here we stand and will not give an inch. We went all through the night, fighting with the wall, with the freezing window, with the disappearing monetary page, with the captcha on donations, with everything we fought.
We gave weapons to each other, we gave gifts and gold without care, we fought with everything we could, and slowly, slowly the wall started to crumble. I did not notice the time, my hands were clenching so I almost couldn’t use push the buttons, I wrote, I organized, I fought… we were tired, sleepy and exhausted but still we went for we saw the chance. We called for friends and friends came. We fought side by side and sweared together when window froze for the umpteenth time, when another weapon went wasted, when it was so frustrating that we almost, but never quite considered giving it up. But we didn’t do it. All through the night we hit the wall, and it came down by morning.
And then the enemy came back. They too were hampered by the same problems, I know that. But still we were winning, inch by bloody inch the wall came ever so lower, and as I saw their effort and I saw our efforts, one thing came to mind; it is an epic battle. It is a battle of epic proportions, and although the end-result is important to me, it changes not an iota that fact. Both sides gave literally everything, every man, every weapon, every gold, every effort to the battle – until the servers – or admins – decided to call it a day, and simply stopped working.
We screamed and told words that have no place in an article – but we told them none the less. It was just so frustrating to be at the point of almost winning, on the verge of an impossible victory – and have it taken away from us. With no reason, no explanation. We are, simply put cheated of this victory – even though it was not yet won, I know, some of the wall was still standing. But we pushed and it was crumbling, an so by now we could have secured it for good.
By now we could have had Southern Great Plain back.
But still… we have had an epic, memorable battle to us.
I am glad of small favors from life.
Truly I am.

Voted. It was the battle of faith indeed.

you got subjective.. sorry that i have to tell you this but..
that wasn't an epic battle..not even close..it was the buggiest battle ever, and don't tell me you had the same problems..
i saw shaok hiting the wall 6 times consecutively in 2 minutes, i hit the wall twice in an hour.
the same for other hungarian users..
so really.. it's a little hypocrite to call a bugy war an epic battle.. when for god's sake the opistion was clearly the one with the handicap.
If I were Romanian,
I wouldn't even dare to call Hungarians hypocrites.
You definitely have some guts.
Maybe it's a difference between the two nations, that we don't call others cheaters the same time we cheat.
sebahmah, Ig the thing drops you out, and then you come back, and check the battle, you will see the last few hits, and if the site is buggy, then you will see the same hits again and again and again.
I've tried to hit the wall for about 4 hours, and I had 2 "successful" tries, one with 0/0 trivia thanks to the server, then I gave up. It was impossible to fight there that time.
1. we didn;t cheat
2. we didn't call you cheaters
3. hekkat you're the reason your country will become a pile of rumble
4. the glitches yesterdaya ffected more romanians than hungarians for some "unknown" reasons, but because of this u had a chance to win, with the help of huge bugs and third party involvement (hackers).. and now you complain.. that's more than lame, that's pathetic.
Sebahmah:
We both know you are lying.
We both know your lies are not needed here.
We both know on which side admins are.
I demand you to stop.
@sebahmah: of course the bugs affected more romanians than hungarian, because there are 5 times more citizens in eRomania than in eHungary... 😛
The romans (oláhok) cheats always! Thats everybody know!

Sebahmah, maybe your eyes are bugged too. Show me that 6 fights in two minutes. If you load the poge newly, than maybe, it displays the newest hits. I was on all night long, hitting that damn wall, I made one fight out of twenty tries - but I fought with the wall and with the servers too.
It's making me lol what you are saying that we didn't had the same bugs and problems. The only thing that we had and you didn't is faith and a very strong will.
Sebahmah:
not 13
not emo
not librarian
not nurse
You can keep on guessing...

take a look, maybe it sounds familiar.
Indeed familiar it is.
It's what i've seen looking at your comments.
voted!
@hekkat.. your response.. i rest my case

@sebahmah:
Handicap? What handicap? 😃 You are even using speedhack for the flashtrivia, but that makes you slow - that's why you were losing. Now you have two days to develop a better decoder, I really hope you can make it, else we will have to face a server downtime again.
No, I have no faith any more. Admins, you can tell me, you didn't took our win, but you can't say didn't take our faith, our hope. With no chanches to win there is no more reason to play. You will lose many players.
you Shaok are the king of hypocrites..
normally i would be sadened if quicksilver would quit, she is a huge asset to this community.. but lairs and hypocrites like you and hekkat, well just quit, like anyone cares.. the admins probably but defenetly the romanian community.
u talk about speedhack or decoders.. when you scored more than 100 consecutive SS.. and if you come with the argument from the other..thread i'm just smarter than all of you.. than i think you are exactly the oposite.
MAybe romanians are dirty and whatever u think, and use imoral, unethical tactics.. but we admit it, and we don;t lie about it.
sebehmah: http://www.sjgames.com/munchkin/moregoodcards/img/cards.jpg
The middle one. You have unlimitedd stock of it.
sebahmah,
tell me just one acceptable reason why the server should have been stopped by 00:00:00 battle time. Only one!
You call me a liar? Just think about yourselves, what you are doing. It's a shame.
Helyesbítek:
The romans (oláhok) cheats and lies always! Thats everybody know!
sebahmah, I agree partially with you:
"MAybe romanians are dirty and whatever u think, and use imoral, unethical tactics" - in this part. The other part about cheating is not admitted by you - and hell don't tell me, everyone on erep knows what you are doing, everyone can see it.
sebahmah: I am not arguing with you. Not because you are right - you are not - but because it is pointless. I have always been fair and honest with your people and admins too, even defending your points when others made unjust accusations. But right now I cannot do so because I believe - no, I see that admins took your side and I have no arguments about that - just quitting. They should not have done so and more sadly it is not even something that can be repaired.
well, i don't know.. maybe because the WHOLE SITE had more buggs than people in the white house?
and 00:00 because that's when a day ends..you know..a cycle?
what am i doing that is so shamefull? i don't really get it.. i never cheated, and if i have ahd cheated..i would admit.
do whatever... i am wasting my time with you..
you are so blinded by your rage.. you don;t see other facts than yours.
sebahmah, you are just an idiot
00:00:00 is the time a battle ends, NOT a day. We were at the border of suburbia pushing forward. Then it ended, and no, not 00:00 erep time.
when i was talking about 00:00 i was talking about erep time.. because that's when the fight was stoped.
thank you for calling me an idiot, when clearly u didn;t understand my argument.. guess we now know who's who.
The battle ended exactly 0:19 AM erep time. So the admins let it run to the next day. Please get better infos before taking part in discussions...10 more minutes and we would have been underground, but the 10 more minutes weren't given to us.
Vote
sebamah: all bugs and server maintenances caused a disadvantage to us. Although the daily changing rules. Maybe everything is just a yuk of God. But we don't think so...
If anyone had advantage of the bugs that's you because you had the wall on +37K and fighting was almost impossible. But we was on all night long, didn't sleep. We fighted and if if took 100 tries to get a fight we tried it 100 times. That made the wall go down!
sebemah: may I ask you about the menu of the romanian players and romanian admins party? What a snuffler u are...
@sebahmah
Obviously you can't handle the truth, you need to chill. Come back when you have calmed down, please.
Meanwhile think about that why you're the only Romanian who makes a scene here. And ask your fellow Romanians about what hypocrasy is. You will be suprised at the answers.a
"u had a chance to win, with the help of third party involvement (hackers).."
So you call us hackers or what? Or you call the russians hackers? Why could you conquere whole Russia then?? You are pathetic. Like the whole game..
I don't know the exact time the battle was closed, but it was around 00:00
http://www.erepublik.com/en/a[..]/1/20
sorry for no english version.
Sebahmah, just as you sai😛 you don't know know it, so to say it with Coliba's words (that's every second comment from him): "Stop spaying your lies around!"
as I told it was stopped EXACTLY at 00:19
It was after the day-change.
The battle ended after the day-change - by some ten minutes or so. I remember trying to go to hospital, but couldn't. So the day-change wasn't the reason. It was ended because we were winning.
i proposed that us romanians start a RW in Southern and we all hit the wall, after that we go straight till there is no more hungary...
does that suit you?
although i can't get past the fact that you shaok done 5/5 20 times and in romania NO USER from many online didn'm manage a single 5/5..
oh, yes, you would, wouldn't you...
didn't really get your last comment quicksilver..
Ask dsala he said he has 2-3 ways to get trough trivia. And i bet its not only the trivia speedhack.
"u had a chance to win, with the help of third party involvement (hackers).."

Twince during my time here I was at the end of my wits and told that take this country if you so much wish it but TAKE IT FAIRLY AND NOT WITH ADMINS HELP BECAUSE YOU CAN AND I KNOW IT, SO IT IS DEMEANING TO YOU TO HAVE THIS TAIL-WIND.
Sebahmah, yes that's suits. But you don't even have to start an RW just let ous get our deserved win. After you can attack Hungary and we will see what you can - or can not.
Btw I did 5/5 more than 20 times, but unfortunately 0/0 either. And yes on romanian were 5/5-s too, just look into the battle hitory, especially take care of the 150's. So you had it too, just not that many times.
That was a shame!
Any time romanians are under attack by a force able to beat them, the server goes down...
I had to try 40-50 times to get 1 fight and altough i answered all the questions correctly i got a 0/5 and max wellness loss...
@sebahmah please read back... you are phatetic... and you dont belive in 5/5??? you dont have to be a MENSA to do it (altough we have some right here...) just a litle culture and basic knoweledge of the history...
Mensa (intelligence) has little to do with remembering facts and figures I think. I haven't got a good memory when it comes to dates for example, although I am intelligent. But some does. Like Shaok, for example.
i am 100% to giving you Southern GReat Plains.. as i think that you would have got it in that morning.. but i still don't believe the admins did it on purpose.
the problem is that the romanian community is outraged and thinks that they were scamed with that atack.. so practically they are just like you raged and tired of this game.
also shaok there is no shame in admiting using the latest decoder, some fellow countrymen already admit it..having it. Or don't admit it, but thot say otherwise.
