I read this article in the media today: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-usa-with-friends-like-these-who-needs-enemies-1-1284616/1/20. Let me respond to this shortly.
First of all, Phoenix has a very successful media team. They publish constant anti-EDEN and anti-US articles in the media, which affect the public opinion. Only one or two correctly timed, and correctly worded articles are enough to start a movement in the media, which is carried on by native writers. This is what happened lately in the Polish and US media, and which' results we all know.
It is no secret, that there were plans of moving Poland through United States to Asia, from where Poland could then attack Serbian and Hungarian owned regions of Liaoning and Heilongjiang. All it took for Phoenix to arrange a meeting for lulz, and leak the logs from it, to ruin any chances we could have had of moving Poland to Asia by alienating the US population from its former allies. Good game Phoenix, I must congratulate you for that.
Let me state you some facts about an invasion to the USA by Poland or Spain. First, if Poland or Spain were to hit USA, there'd be absolutely zero gain to them. They'd alienate themselves from all other EDEN countries, and lose all their currently owned non-original regions. There would be no objective none whatsoever in attacking USA – what benefit it would bring to Poland or Spain? New regions? Fun? No, they'd get neither in the long run, only lose the regions they currently have, and any allied support for future military campaigns. The cons overwhelm all pros by far.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly: who do you think benefits from all this? The answer is very simple:
Phoenix.
That is all.

So true!
Hab SoSlI' Quch!
the reason for the USA leaving EDEN is stupid. Who else does the USA have to turn to beside brolliance? Big mistake, usa.
I shouted it since the debates began,
:/
i only hope your right 😐

votat.
well its not hard to beleive people are takeing this seriously
there are hundreds of Polish and Spainish citizens trolling america after all this time some are vicious some are just haveing fun
people are saying were burning bridges but i dont see how
were still going to fight along side Eden as if we were still in Eden so whats the big problem here?
Polands babies dont understand erepublik history and bring rl hatred to the game and that is the problem
Spain has no reason to be upset as they contributed even less then the USA did in Prekjur or whatever
there just acting pissed so people want focus on them
I love hearing from all the people that had nothing to do with the eUSA/EDEN relationship, tell us that we are stupid for leaving...
Anyway, I hope you are right Avec.
Note that the #2 candidate in the Polish presidential election has the conquest of CA, FL, and Karnataka as goals. I realize that some leaders in Poland and Spain see sense, but some clearly do not.
this trolling gets me real bored ...
/salute
Im not entirely convinced, but i sincerly hope your right Avec.
And Tanner is right, what with the thousands of trolls in the US media for one mistake already alienated the american populace to a high degree...Americans view apologies as a sighn of strengh, and it was marred by alot of hate. Most americans arent quick to forget things like that, it left its mark however light.
"what benefit it would bring to Poland or Spain? New regions? Fun? "
You've answered your own question.
I agree.
Uh, we have a media team?
Holy crap we're good. We've organised a media team and didn't even know it!
and this is how the ship sinks
Can I haz cheeseburger meanwhile?
also Avec, there is no GIANT PHOENIX MEDIA TEAM!!oneone
I can offer you a tin foil hat though :3
We have a media team? ;_;
SG of Phoenix
if we have we rock then o/
"It is no secret, that there were plans of moving Poland through United States to Asia"
Seems to me that's still the plan. ;_;
I don't believe Poland or Spain would attack us, honestly. But all this is their fault. They allow their citizens to go out and make threats and do not lift a finger to settle tensions. Phoenix is better then EDEN at propaganda. Phoenix is is better at coordination. Phoenix is winning. Members within EDEN just want to ignore that facts, we deserve to fail. Looks like it time for leaders to step up and decide what they are going to do. Speak up.
I'm the secret media team pulling the strings in the backstage.
oh wait...
O man, that is a hell good picture at the end! We might take it as our new logo!! Greetings and best regards 🙂
I just wonder what would Max say to this?
I hope the rumors are not true.
But if they are, we've dealt with this kind of thing before, we'll deal with it again.
Anyone who thinks for a second Poland and/or Spain seriously considered invasion to US should get a reality check.
Like Avec said, they'd alienate themselves from EDEN because nobody would support them and they'd make Phoenix even stronger
"Note that the #2 candidate in the Polish presidential election has the conquest of CA, FL, and Karnataka as goals. I realize that some leaders in Poland and Spain see sense, but some clearly do not."
National goals are a freaking joke, how can you take that seriously. You don't get absolutely anything from achieving them and people put random crap like conquering something across the globe just for lolz
God, some of you are so easily knocked off your game by trolls and jokers, it's unbelievable
Voted...the rational part of me hopes you're correct Avec, although, some strange part of me wants to take on all comers. It would certainly be a heckuva fight.
Yes, well, regrettably it would not be the first time that Poland betrayed and invaded an ally. And if I remember correctly the Finns even helped along.
It is so refreshing to see all of the Pheoenix big names at one place trolling...
BTW people u shouldn't be fooled by these trolls just trying to upset you and to gain something by separating us...
When did all this became EDENs fault? PHX is trolling hard, USA is spinning it into EDEN fault while washing hands of any responsibility... Amazing!
By the way, I do agree that EDEN HQ has to shape up and shape up fast. It used to be a great pleasure to watch EMC on the battlefield, so I hope to see it again soon. EMC made of all EDEN nations! EMC with enough power to win any battle!
Work on it and make it happen.
"All it took for Phoenix to arrange a meeting for lulz, and leak the logs from it, to ruin any chances we could have had of moving Poland to Asia by alienating the US population from its former allies. "
I can't believe you honestly meant that as EDEN SC.
Last time I heard that my press article was the reason why the US won't let Poland through. Before that I heard the money was the problem.
That's hmm, 3rd version?

I wouldn't be so naive and hope that this was just a Phoenix propaganda:/
And btw why should ePoland & eSpain care about other EDEN countries? They can easily join Phoenix (if they haven't yet) and zerg the rest of the eWorld together.
WORD OF FEAR FROM eUSA... VOTED... YOU DESERVE IT

We need no media team, you provide the articles and we just laugh and vote them up
"We need no media team, you provide the articles and we just laugh and vote them up"
Very true. Look at what articles are massively voted and what remain unavailable to most of people and you will see how PHX machinery works. They will vote that crap article of MMF2 to the top but voices of reason remain unheard.
