PMs Desk: Day 710- 2 Months in the Making
patti11
Hey Australia,
It has been 2 days after the liberation of WA, and it has been enough time for all to clear their head on the issue. Australia has WA back! What many thought impossible is now reality, and thus I will say it again:
WE HAVE
WA BACK!
Now I realised, due to the numerous reaction articles (more then videos of reactions to 2 girls, 1 cup) that some of the issues surrounding today are not yet clear. Truthfully, I omitted some details in my previous article (the one before the American one 😛
) but that was just to add drama to what I will be telling you all today. Heck, I'll give it a title:
The Story of the Liberation of WA
The information from the first section is written by Cottus Arci, Father of Operation Twofold Bay.
Op Twofold began at the beginning of September, just before the PM elections, with me and DA (Derek Apollyon) and included the full plan of 1. joining EDEN, then 2. using that to either pressure Indo to give us WA, or take it by force.
For those who don't know, Cottus Arci and Derek Apollyon fought in the original RW for Australia and have been Prime Minister of Australia for 2 terms and 1 term respectively. Back to the story:
I approached the govt once stew (stewstoyc, AKA scotywest) was impeached and Mel took over. I spoke with Mel Smith and srg91 and it was agreed for the Govt to play the neutrality card, so we could see what the general consensus of the public was on it. Continuous articles and support would hopefully 1. make EDEN aware of our intentions, 2. warm the Aus public up to the idea and 3. pressure Indonesia to pursue neg's over WA. I then told yourself (patti11) about TFB.
The extra articles are here:
Derek Apollyon's
Ezekiel Thomas'
So the 1st article happened, and Mel Smith was immediately contacted by Indo, who had a new found enthusiasm for giving us WA (therefore, suggesting wander forward maybe didn't just pursue WA out of the goodness of his own heart). Mel Smith listened, didn't judge, and I felt he made an objective view on it. srg91 did also, but was a little more skeptical.. but still, that very day, he *agreed* to Twofold Bay.
After that, Shafer, ranger, Cerri, XD, XG, Crowded House, Cozza were all informed at various times 1 month + ago. The rest is for patti11 to tell.
On to me now 😃
:
On Day 702, i I finally got to talk to Indonesia about WA. Bong, the elected President of Indonesia had suffered a terrible RL tragedy with the death of his father. Renago, the Indonesian MoFA resumed talks with me. We talked all things WA, and he basically sai😛
1. WA could be sorted with the joining of PEACE.
2. We give Indonesia a Hospital and Defence System as a replacement. (these were the terms with Russia getting Western Siberian Back)
3. 10 gold for every company owner as compensation plus the purchasing of companies (unspecified)
.4. Eternal Friend.
Obviously, these terms were pretty outrageous and nothing an "eternal friend" would do to another. I decided to open talks with shoot (head of EDEN) to find an alternative.
On the same day (702) I contact shoot to find an alternative to a way of getting WA back. He seemed pretty interested, but conceded that WA was not on their priority list, and getting PEACE out of North America was. He said that a RW could happen in 2 months.
And now to 3 days ago:
1 week later, the RW started in Western Australia. I spoke to shoot who said it was a distraction war to the war in Alaska, nothing more. I suggested if the wall was at a low level, if they would help Australia tank for it. He said yes, but it wouldn't promise anything yet.
I woke up to the wall very low in No Man's Land (around 100k) and decided to see what shoot said. He said they will tank for it if I want them to.
It was clear I had a dilemma on my hands now. Wonder Forward had started talking to me aswell on WA but would the talks go sour again with more demands that Australia would take 1 year to pay off? Obviously I decided to ask shoot to help us go for it. Why? Because the rut we had dug ourselves into was getting increasingly harder and harder to get ourselves out. Australia was as boring as anything and we needed something. Indonesia was in the same situation, and wanted to declare war on Malaysia to spark a baby boom. Obviously Indonesia would overrun the whole of Sol fighting back, and the only way any nations of Sol could fight back was through external help. EDEN/Brolliance (USA and Canada) were the form of that help.
Intermission:
Now back to the story ( I know, hard 😛
):
I told srg91, deputy Minister for Defence to start coordinating. We decided to send our best Dropbears (Alpha Squad), to fight red. We would provide them with Q5 weapons stockpiled from Cottus Arci and 3200 IDR in the NBA (which was converted to gold). We decided to send Bravo-Delta to fight green with Q1 weapons however, as a precautionary measure in case the RW was lost and we could blame the fighting of red on some "rogue" Dropbears. srg91 also tanked on the green side to further add to the deception. For the plan to work I had to do something that I am admittedly ashamed of, lie to Wonder Forward. Wonder is a good leader and had genuine concern for Australia but it was the presidents before him and Indonesia's actions to Malaysia that forced me to play my hand the way I did. I told Wonder we would send Dropbears, to fight green, despite the official government orders to stay out of it.
I had to leave 2 hours before the war ended and I returned 2 hours after to see a liberated WA. I was told that the EDEN forces tanked the wall down at incredible speed, and that shoot was true to his word. The official orders also changed to Fight Green, which srg must have done.
The rest, can be found in my previous article. USA MPP'ed with us straight away as a precautionary measure and I had a quick discussion and vote with the Senate to accept MPPs from Spain and Romania. Canada couldn't hold her excitement and MPP'ed aswell (even donated the gold cost!) and further discussion is on the way to get the rest of EDEN before the 100 gold sets in. What this means for Australia is more wars, friends and we are out of that rut we were firmly deep in.
Immediately however, we were proposed to be kicked out of Sol by then Chairman, Hekter. He has since resigned and previous chair Snayke took over, who has attempted to repel the expulsion. This is still current so this information may not be correct.
For now, I have proposed Australia join the Brolliance, a symbolic bond between Canada and USA and hopefully now us. A vote to join EDEN would require a referendum, which I believe should be held a little later, once Australia gets her head around the whole issue and would probably happen next term.
That is the story guys, I hope you thoroughly enjoyed it. I understand many would be angry at what it seems to be an elite making all the choices for Australia, but quite frankly, the time frame for a decision to be made was so little, and I was elected to make those choices. I have served eAustralia for nearly 1 year now, and I have watched it grow and prosper and recede like a 40 year old's hairline to our state up to day 710. I hope to watch and help it grow once again, in the future. If you are still upset and want to blame someone, blame all who knew about it and not revealing it to the public.
Thanks for reading any questions post below,
Sincerely,
patti11
Prime Minister of Australia
Your Bro
Comments
Sup bro
Go Patti 😃.. If srg was to add to the deception.. Why did he resign and is so repulsed by the idea of WA being free yet?
I knew because I can tell the future
o7
patti, you are awesome! eAusmaxxxxxx!
Great article, really helped clear up many issues. Quick question, is anything being done about the supposed talk of indonesia invading?
I sincerely hope eAustralia joins the Brolliance, that'd be marvelous!
It's a wacked out conspiraacy and were all in the middle of it.
Oh btw... patti, as mine and all of eAustralia's elected Prime Minister, you did what we elected you to do, make the quick decision that is beneficial for this great nation. And I thank you Mr. Prime Minister.
Good read. I missed the whole battle myself. Hockey was one lol. Very informative.
nice pic btw
i resigned for other reasons.
1. please do not assume that I am repulsed by wa's return. I am aussie at heart and I want to see WA return as much as the next player.
I served the government of Australia and thus under patti. If he makes the call to do x and y and z, I can argue with him. But in the end, his call will be final and I will follow it.
The MPPs were also something i expected but it was not the main reason I resigned.
The thing was that, i saw the USA MPP, and started yelling on irc to senate not to vote on it yet. As an result, EDEN/USA players started trolling me. Needless to say I was pretty pissed off about it.
I was also talking to patti at the time and I said if USA MPP passes, i will resign, yes I over reacted, but EDEN USA players should not be dictating our laws at all. Patti11 took it literally and due to the fact that I am currently capped, I dced from the net. When I came back about 30 ish minutes later, I found out 2 things. 1. I can not access australian military account and 2. senators voted to join eden. (dont lie about that, i don't wanna show the logs 😕)
Turns out Patti has changed the password and replaced me already. So i resigned properly.
That and how quickly senate talked about joining eden really ticked me off. (senate meeting was 22 minutes for that one btw).
Well done to Patti, Cottus, Derek and to all those involved!
Nice pic and great explanation. All precise and very accurate.
thank god this game isn't boring anymore
Well Done on getting WA back! Its been a long time coming.
"Interesting to note, the person who opposed the MPPs with EDEN (srg91) knew about the whole plan 2 months ago and agreed to it. I'll let you judge why he didn't say anything if he was so opposed."
Thats a pretty stupid question patti, I am eAustralian and i do not back stab eAustralians, I think that it had many merits and is something we can look into, but what am I going to do? Start telling Indo/Peace all about the ideas created by Australians?
Thanks for the article Patti, it's good to finally have this out in the open.
And very true srg91, you can hardly be blamed for keeping state secrets!
I suspect that a lot of the bad blood from the last few days is everybody having to bite their tongues and not reveal the bits of plan they knew about. Hopefully that now that the situation is clearer, we can all calm down.
srg you are right, it was wrong of me to suggest that and I have duly edited the article. What I was trying to say was if you didn't want to be apart of it, you didn't have to be
hopefully things would get exciting in eAus
All this needs is some reference to the Knights Templar bank rolling the entire thing and this would be an awesome book.
conspiracy if you ask me. 🙂
Good article Patti
Good job, patti!
Wise decision aswell.😉
No offense, but the intermission isn't meant to be a highlight of the article 😛
Congrats, Patti and AUS.
We here in South Africa are under similar control by Indonesia as you were. I am running for CP as the only candidate that supports liberation.

Please, Aussies, read, vote comment. eSA citizens are afraid! Give them your support!
~Exilious
South African Parliament
I apologize to Mel for ruining his election, as to make sure Patti got over the line for this to happen 🙂
I'm a bit unsettled about the whole thing really. As a Cabinet member and a Senate member, I'd like to have been more involved with the decision to free us, not have it sprung as a surprise, glad though I am to have WA back.
As for alliances and MPP's. I'm happy to make friends, but the MPP's are too expensive to keep up, so negotiating peace with eIndo seems the next logical step to me.
would have been nice as a Dropbear squad commander to know what was going on too....
again i apoligise Binda and Mack as there was only 4 hours between the time I decided to accept the tanking of WA and the time I went offline.
Patti11, you Cottus and all the powerhouses should be congratulated for this brave and clever move. I'm incredibly impressed and proud.
Awesome stuff patti! But can you just join Brolliance? Dear God I hope so!!
After reading this, I'd just like to say that the Aussies are fascinating people.
I dislike that our government lied to it's own people and to the eIndo governemnt. I dislike that there are now other nations who will now think us dishonest. I dislike that even the ordered talks between the eAus and the US/brolliance ended with the slapdash last minute decision to take WA back. But I do like our new allies, particularly the ones who are willing to think, examine and respond rather than insult, flame and denigrate(put quite simply, the ones who attack eAustralians in our own media for having differnt opinions on how our own country should be run). I enjoy knowing that the chances are I'm going to be deployed to fight in a real war soon, particularly after I tasted first blood in Malaysia/Thailand. I enjoy knowing that there are countries out there that have eAustralias back. I LOVE knowing that our new allies have the balls to sacrifice almost all of their land, knowing full well that their friends/allies will strike back and win the day. I LOVE knowing that our new allies truly trust each other and hope that we will be worthy of the same trust from them one day. Long live the Brolliance, EDEN, the US, Romania, Sweden and all the allied forces. Long live Australia and long live freedom!
Damn good plan Patti, props to you. And when you get into the Brolliance oyu can share in the fesitivties! 😃
ok, now we know that one president is allowed to lie to another president. Or maybe it is just Australian.
I will publish my statement tomorrow, as my position exacts it.
yahoo!! lets all go trolling the eAustralian media!!
"srg you are right, it was wrong of me to suggest that and I have duly edited the article. What I was trying to say was if you didn't want to be apart of it, you didn't have to be"
So your saying, as deputy Defence minister of Australia, I do not need to listen to the leader of my nation?
If you were a mere citizen or another cabinet minister, I would have started arguing, you are the CP and my job is to serve the peoples of Australia. If your executive orders was to do this and in crucial times, do you really want me to say no and leave you and turn my back on the people of Australia? The RW was unexpected, but Indos were for onces coming to us to do the negotiation. This is why I left you the choice of deciding. This is the thanks I get? I didn't need to listen to the CP?
I now wish I knew this now lol.
I agree with your sentiment Srg. As an Aussie soldier our orders for the majority of the RW were to stay put and let the thing turn out how it was going to turn out. Despite the fact that many soldiers expressed a desire to fight red the majority of us obeyed orders to hold our fire. We remain loyal to eAus and it is our duty to follow orders, sometimes even when they conflict with our own personaly desires.
I would love to be bros with you Australia! Brolliance ftw! Just remember, whenever you chill with us and Canada, bring over some of those famous Australian beers! lol
Good job eAustralia. Good job.
The Brolliance is more than just another alliance. It was forged through personal experiences and a bond of brotherhood between two countries that were undergoing a prolonged attack. eCanada was wiped from the map, yet they soldiered on. We sacrificed our states for them in order to give them a foothold and to fight for our brothers in Canuckdia. They have our backs and we have theirs. The Brolliance is more than politics, stated goals or charters. It's a commitment to becoming a member of our family.
Are you ready for that, eAustralia? 😉
I wish you luck.
happy to be allies
Brolliance should accept our Aussie bros!
😃
patti - you re a liar. dot.
Sounds like you had this plan from the beginning and manipulated the public into seeing things your way. Don't get me wrong I'm glad you have your territory back but this just seems like a very elitist/manipulative way you did it.
Thank you for the official press release. All of these unverified articles are enough for to people to get extremely confused. I am looking forward to what the future of Australia brings.
EDEN.. not a good idea
