Lest We Forget, Victory Day
•
by Frodo Tea Baggins
Let us take a moment to remember. One year ago tommorrow/today Sept 17th a long standing hold of erep fell for the first time ever. On September 17th 2011 the so called fortress London fell for the first time ever. For over 3 years it stood undefeated and was no small task in the history of the eworld.
There have been few undefeated territories in the history of erep and London was one of the last. The battle I witnessed that day was huge with the entires world population in one place near the end. I doubt there was a country left in the eworld that was not involved in this monumental battle. In all my time in erep which is close to 3 years I had never seen a battle of that magnitude. Millions of damage was like spitting in a barrel at a time when a million was a pretty heavy hit in one fight.
For me it's easy to recall because I was CP of Canada when we took it. Along side some of the greats of erep history Roger Griswald, Patrick O'leary and Ibhoy67, we refused to back from the challenge and I owe all of them a debt of gratitude. We overcame.
Victory Day, should be remembered because it shows what is possible when we work together. Nothing is impossible if you reach out and and work as a team.

And lost Alaska in the process. London will forever stand as a testament to aggrandizement over substantial benefit.
Wish I was here to see it 🙂
"I owe all of them a debt of gratitude"
Yep. They provided you with glory. How's that working out for you?
Wasn't London taken about a year prior by the Americans?
No Auk, the canadian/irish lead was the first
Congratz
LoLondon
the fall of London was a significant accomplishment, the cost of which was loss of Alaska oil. It could have been a font of justified pride, a model for what can be accomplished by a determined team of cooperative players focussed on a herculean task. The canadian habit, of turning all triumphs into opportunities to beat each other up, was well illustrated. Perhaps still? Be proud of what the old players did ecanada - it really happened.
Was one hell of a class campaign by all who fought, on both sides of the conflict : D
I tip my hat to you, it was a great victory, the very last of the old capitals to be captured. o7
I'm sorry I missed it, and the great thing is that both sides consider it to be an epic never to be repeated. I salute you all
A glorious victory for our maple syrup drinking Canadian friends.
Plus, I got to give soldiers gold from the national treasury. That's always fun.
Back when the game mechanics were still half decent...
Alaska for London.
I never fought in London battle. However, I'm still short on oil.
hahahaha
Good times o7
I think Alaska's oil was a decent trade for the privilege of taking london first.
Nou Chance Harrison? O.o
