Join the new world

Thanks to those Patriots who took a stand.

That's terrible, Bastion.

This only perpetuates division within the eUSA.
Even if it's not a popular decision, it's one that has provided us a second chance to make a true come back.

Gee, I'm sorry we didn't lead you off of a cliff. I figured that, in the long run, BEING ALIVE would be much more beneficial.

And Holt makes an excellent point. Enjoy dividing America over EVERYTHING THAT EVER HAPPENS. For god's sake, can nobody swallow their pride just once for the betterment of the country? Besides me, I mean

This article: GIVE ME DEATH, forget liberty

Thank you for posting this. It will help citizens to vote for who they believe is right one way or another. Forget about whether the treaty is right or wrong. Each citizen can vote how they choose in the upcoming elections.

being alive would be more beneficial to everyone I THINK NOT... All that gold we will be giving to PEACE will go straight to the downfall of our allies, I am also disgusted.

I support Emerick's decision. Give it a chance to work...

Pig Disgusted

BTW: Two of those Senators didn't bother to vote until today when the vote was actually over.

Nice, panther. Completely disregard the money that we're giving them now because our companies are in their territories. We'll give them a lot more than 10k gold if we continue to let them keep our companies. Your ignorance disgusts me.

@Emerick - Not sure you have much pride to swallow. This treaty of yours is exactly why you should never have been elected. Weak.

Good article. Lame ........... to vote for treaty.

I say we will net more economic benefit from this so we can help our allies more than hinder them.

@Jasper - You're right, of course. From experience, I know it can be tough to meet the voting deadlines imposed upon Congres Members at times (personal schedules can sometimes get in the way). I gave them the benefit of the doubt and added them to the Patriot list.

This isn't a way to live, Emerick.

You'd rather go down in a storm of shit and grenades, and let Peace dominate the rest of the world? Is that the world you want to live in?

Wow that many PINHEADS voted NO. Maybe we should wait till we lose all but one state and have to pay twice as much to get half as much back. Maybe we should lose it all causing many of the citizens to quit the game all together.

It's time to admit we lost this BATTLE. We have four months to prepare for the next, or we can just lose the WAR now.

You can make out of this treaty what you want. You can make it the worst mistake PEACE ever made, or you can make a shitstorm at your president.

also, need to add. No. They aren't making as much money from conquered territories. Personally, I just shut down my gun company rather than let them get a profit from taxes...

This is a game. "Living" has nothing to do with it. We lost. There is no shame in that. If this were a boxing match the ref would have stopped the fight a long time ago. Previous administrations got us into a shit load of trouble with the open MPP's. Emerick now has to eat the shit sandwich. Getting wiped out serves no purpose at all. We can still fight for our allies and get our regions back by paying PEACE at the end of the 4 months. I also think it is funny that two congressmen that did not bother to vote or debate until after the vote was finalized are on your "Patriot" list.

So, you shut down your company, and 10 people were out of a job. If we all "just shut down our companies," then we'd destroy the economy completely. No need to buy anything during a war, of course not.

The way I see it ... we regain our high-resource regions allowing us to not only re-establish our economy, but allow us to be even more benefit to our allies under attack (as the treaty does not exclude us from fighting in MPP-activated battles). Yeah, the "surrender" pill is a hard one to swallow. But let's look at one example out of history:

Japan surrendered after being nuked. Rather than risk their entire country being decimated by further such attacks, they surrendered and rebuilt: look at the economic powerhouse they became afterwards.

The reason that this is so hard to deal with is that it is a blow to our egos. The same egos that were probably responsible for the actions (well before my time) that led PEACE to hate us so much.

The bottom line is that we have a peace treaty in effect. One can either continue to complain about it and not help rebuild the eUS or accept it and help re-establish the eUS as a formidable economic and military force. Everyone has the right to agree or disagree and speak openly about it; I would suggest that nobody try and divide the country over it. If anything, we need to pull together more than ever before as we have but 4 months to get our act together (because we all know what will happen when the treaty expires).

@Josh - Read my previous comment on the two stragglers, brother.

One of them, just tried to vote and hour ago Bastion.

@Djazheer:
Agreed. 100%

@Bastion:
I sympathize with your view, but I question your language. I think at the very least you should be willing to concede that locking down the eUS war MAY have been a better strategy from a purely military stand point and your categorization of 'cowards' and 'patriots' may be misleading.

@Emerick: My company is in California you moron

This treaty is much better than the one Stanwick was all for a few weeks ago people. Keep in mind if we'd thrown in the towel then we wouldn't have been able to keep fighting in spain and where ever else our allies need us.

Also keep in mind we weren't doing them much good sitting here getting carved up either.

How much money are we making from those conquered territories? How much is that gun company making for the US now? With no high resource regions we have no economy. With no Economy we have no chance to go much longer.

@ Sir Valaro Volcrum - Your gun company is not the only one shutdown.

@Tony: I know, so I don't get whats with Emerick saying what he's saying. I'm pretty sure most Americans aren't going to pay the 5 gold, just to help the economy of our enemy.

Bastion. Come on. Look at the big picture here. It was either a) get destroyed and fight by our allies or
b) sign the treaty and stay around and fight by our allies.

You choose.

And Emerick stuck his neck out. He lost support so that our eNation could stay alive. he is the true patiot.

Much respect to you Bastion, but I have to disagree with you on this one. Emerick chose the lesser of two evils. The treaty sucks, no question about it...but it's better than the alternative. There's nothing glorious or noble about getting your ass kicked for another week until you have to move to another country.

Unless you really think we can hold on to FL and NJ, start hundreds of new companies there to get our economy going again, and then RW our way back to a complete country (all while holding onto NJ and FL, mind you), this is the right decision. Personally, I haven't seen ANYTHING that would lead me to believe that a counteroffensive is possible, particularly given that PEACE is sitting on 16K extra gold (thanks, Spain) and our economy is an absolute mess.

We could've fought beside our allies even if we hadn't signed this treaty...that's what moving tickets are for.

Not only that, had we kept fighting here, we could've managed to draw attention away from our allies. Now PEACE is able to focus all their strength on our allies and the fact that we couldn't win with our allies help here in the USA most likely means they won't win with our help over there. So in the end, our allies are toast.

@Tyler,

If we hadn't signed the treaty and kept fighting in the US, 5 days from now we'd be in the exact same situation you just described, only we wouldn't have any regions, no way to fund our soldiers (no companies = no economy = no tax revenue) and would have no way to get our regions back other than through RWs (which, let's face it, are not going to work given PEACE's firepower). The treaty sucks, but it's the best available option.

We could fund our military with cookies and love though. Who needs regions?

@Tyler We would be a distraction for a week or two. Then we would nothing. If we can rebuild our economy we can help our allies a lot more.

Emerick you are so incompetent to lead eUSA.
You have to resign alone, not to be impiched by someone!

Did you spoke with allies about treaty with Peace?

For what were all allies wasting their money for ???

Remember, You were the first spiting on eUK, and what you did now ???

Poor !!!

Look. It's a game. If you lose, you lose. If we lose, what have we really lost in real life? Nothing! It's a game. Win or lose. It's a game.

Oh, and did I mention, it's a game!

This is only a game, none can lose nothing, but
the first and most important question here is:

DID YOU SPOKE WITH YOUR FRIENDS (ALLIES) ABOUT TREATY OR YOU LOOKED ONLY AT YOUR OWN ASSES ???

As I know this is not the first time!

GOODBYE EMERICA !

@mngoose33 - Respect back atcha, bro. It is better to eDie on your feet than to eLive on your knees.

All Emerick and the pushovers in Congress did was give the Admins fodder for a really nice "update" article on how PEACE drove the eUS to its knees.

Double fail America !!!

Treaty fail !!!

Peace just ... you!

Now you are traitors without treaty!

erepublik = CoD4

Regardless of the side you take, if you are curious why I voted 'No', read my article on the subject:

http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/you-cant-take-the-sky-from-me-897304/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/you-[..]/1/20

to vote for peace means we have time to build our army and take back what is ours. also help our allies and keep them strong so in return they can help us. we can undermine the enemy by starting reistance wars in the occupide zone. send people to weaken there econemy and production.

Bastion and Co., F#CK OFF.
That is all.

@CaptainCAPS - Will-do, brother. Make sure you say "hi" to your PEACE friends for me.

CUJO, ZCIA--SHAME ON YOU

Sigh. Chalk one fail up for eUSA. I feel bad for our allies who bravely helped us. Wish I could say the same about us.
