Ready for Peace - Prepared for War!
Ulaidian
Today we find ourselves in the same situation as we were in very recently. Many 1000s of Gold later, we are sitting with our original regions.
With this in mind, I support our President's offer to the English for peace.
Why?
It makes Sense!
The English have seen that we will not be defeated, and will not surrender our lands.. and by now the English also know that we are brave, bold, tenacious and ferocious. We will Never Surrender what it ours by the Grace of God!
The fact that English arrogance still has them holding onto a part of our Island, thinking they should try to take the rest is the thing that will bring the UK crashing down. I ask them to take this olive branch, and rebuild your Nation.. and not use it as a rod for your own back. England is fast becoming a pawn in a global war, and your place, at the table for decisions, is slowly being taken away from you.
We are ready for Peace.. and we want to retake our position at said table, and start to take our place in the Global game. but do not mistake our desire for peace as a sign of weakness.. far from it, for even at our lowest ebb, we are at our most dangerous.
We have always been defensive.. protecting what is ours from those that would seek to steal it. It won't always be so.
Take the offer of peace for what it is.

Si vis pacem para bellum
And if a peacy treaty is signed, how can we find our way in other resources??
If we don't find it through UK, we will have to attack Canada or other allies.
Unless, you propose we sit in our seats, and watch economy being demolished. Sadly without war, there is no economy, and without resources, there is no war.
We need to pay back our Brothers for the support we've been given of late. So I also agree with the Peace option.... for now at least
v
I support peace for a whole Ireland. 26+6=1
NI is an Irish region that is just still colonized. The Brits gave back India, and Hong Kong, and many other colonies. They know NI is due to be returned to it's homeland, but they just haven't gotten around to it in RL. We can remedy that in the e-world.
The Brits don't need NI, since they have 3 other fish regions. The only reason for them to want it, is out of spite. If they spite us in a peace offer, then they don't really want peace.
Ulidian thats a UDA slogan and mural I remember it from just after the 1994 ceasefires lol.
Actually it is a UVF one.. and it serves it's purpose 😃
Hmm
ΝΙ!
Just don't accept to surrender any original regions and you have my full support about this. But I think that the Brits are too arrogant to have it.
Good article. We need peace so that we can spend some time fighting for our allies and repaying them for their help.
Cool story Bhane.
Sounds good.
Great Article
Thanks for reminding me, Gav.
Another term for peace: Brit PTO'rs go back to Brit citizenship.
no peace Ireland must be united !!!!!!!!!!!
If that's a term then there will be no peace, Bhane. I think you forget the original aim of the BCH. Permanent war between us.
So your only goal in this game is to perpetuate real world racism?
I respect the British people, and recognize their sovereignty over their island. All I ask for, is that same respect in return. I don't hate the UK people, I hate the UK occupation of Irish land. You, on the other hand, have made it clear that you simply hate Irish people, and seek their genocide.
You continue to pursue a goal of fueling bigotry, and oppression against the Irish people. When you are ready stop endorsing hate, and racism, let us know.
>"So your only goal in this game is to perpetuate real world racism?"
You ask that question in the comments of an articel with a UDF 'Piccie'!?
When did I endorse the UDF?
I do not want a war with UK. In fact, I have said many times, I would like a peace. Heck... I would like an alliance between our nations, Alfa.
I agree. This war should never have happened so it would be good to end it.
The war was in fairness interesting while it lasted but it's time for it to end.
Bhane, are you actually this deluded? Do you live anywhere on the two Islands that you speak of? You clearly have no idea of the RL situation.
I can not make it any clearer: NI is not a disputed region. Nobody claims it other than the government of the United Kingdom. It is constitutionally UK, and will be until it decides not to be.
You claiming it on grounds of RL shit is hypocritical on so many levels. So don't try and act the white knight in this.
I refuse to believe that all Brits are as bigoted as you, Toma.
I do not judge all of the UK for what a few loud racists say. People like you may have loud voices, and have power, and influence. I am not so naive that I cannot admit here are loud, and hateful voices on the Irish side, too.
But, there are rational and reasonable people on both sides of the Irish Sea, too. Hopefully, more people will lend strength to those people, and weaken the voices of hate.
North Ireland IS a disputed territory.
Only racist Brits like you feel the IRISH TERRITORY belongs to your Nation.
Only racist Brits like you feel the IRISH PEOPLE are obligated to serve your Nation.
Are you such a fool to be completely blind to the fact that Northern Ireland belongs to Ireland?
I don't have the time to go into a history lesson to completely destroy your absurd argument about a British constitution claiming Ireland, and legalese that was written before... I digress. it's not worth my time to someone who's ears are closed.
Bottom line: The UK's only reason to claim NI, is to spite Ireland. The UK has plenty of other fish regions. If Spite is more important than peace or an alliance, then war won't end.
What is more important, UK?
1) Peace, and maybe a strong ally (cede NI to it's homeland)
2) Fueling petty bigotry (perpetual fighting and trading territories in a constant distraction for your alliance)
Obviously, people like Toma have chosen to let hate and racism be the driving force for playing a game.
I know there are a few good Brits who don't hold bigotry as a priority in their life, and they will not follow your hate, Toma.
Too much Thatcher in the title for me
and me
Tbf, we should be looking at what will suit our inGAME interests best. Since Canada has the facilities to landswap with the USA for fruit (Pennsylvania), everyone's interests would best be served by the UK swapping Wales&SWoE for NI&Louth. It would maximize resource access of all countries (UK still has it's Alum advantage) and close UK borders with the USA, who they aren't very pally with these days.
However resources are not the reason this war continues. Posts suggesting the they are using this as a TERRA/EDEN dmg drain are also false. The UK needs to wipe us to prove their validity as a eWorld power.
I find that to be of some merit Sweet. If the eUK is larger than we are, on the allied side of larger powers than we are, and generally constitutes a larger population than we do, it sounds only right that whatever reason war began no longer has merit in the justification; war for the sake of oppression and showmanship of prowess clouds the mind and causes attrition on both sides.
Bhane, sorry in advance if I'm confusing what you're saying about RL and ingame stuff, the lines between them are pretty blurred.
I'm from Northern Ireland, born and bred, and I'm damn proud to be British and believe Northern Ireland should be part of the UK. Does that make me a racist? It may mean I'm a bigot (because I'll admit, I'll be on the next boat to the UK mainland if a referendum to rejoin Ireland is ever passed in my life time, god forbid). In fairness my reasons are not political but purely economical/UK-is-better-than-Ireland-in-everything-al.
Also protip: Northern Ireland is not a disputed region. Ireland officially gave up their claim to Northern Ireland in the Good Friday Agreement. Hence why erepublik recognises Northern Ireland as separate from Ireland. It's only die hard republicans that still give a shit about it.
P.S. THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.
I completely understand your point of view, Gav. You are a Brit that was born in NI. You are a British colonial, and not an Irelander. It is not your fault, you were born on foreign soil. It was the political situation you were born into.
You are right: This is why we can't have nice things.
Some bitter souls on both sides of the sea are letting hate and bigotry be the motivating factor for playing game, which is just sad.
I would like to see peace, and an alliance between eIreland, and eUK.
I would like to see eIreland whole, despite the RL situation.
I would like to see the Brit PTO'rs able to go back home, with their mission being of no use anymore.
I would like to see friendship in the British Isles, rather than hate.
Did this sweet drinker person just ask us to do a region swap, for a region that we already own?
OhgodIhopeitsatroll
Bhane, in the same sentence, you asked for peace, then you asked for one of our regions. RL notwithstanding, and solely based on game mechanics and reasoning, that is retarded.
Not only is Ireland not a race, but nothing I said gets even close to race, so please select your argumenta ad hominem more accurately.
Chill out lads. Its just a bunch of pixels.
Really.
I have not asked for one of your regions.
I have asked that you return our region.
Alternatively, you could muster every PTO'r to go back to Brit citizenship, as a sign of actual desire for peace
Celts, Normans, Saxons, Anglos, etc... are different races
Just because they are all "white" does not mean they are not separate races.
Arabs, Jews, Persians, Indians, etc.. are different races
Bantu, Zulu, Aborigine, etc... are different races
Even if you can't see past skin color, Toma, you can certainly recognize the separate cultures.
Technically, nobody is racist. (not even Toma)
Since we are all part of the human race, and our regional physical traits mean nothing.
The term "racist" is actually used for someone who is prejudiced against a particular culture within the human race.
Obviously Toma has decided that his bigotry toward the Irish culture is his reason for playing this game. His hate drives his gameplay, and I feel sorry for him.
Toma... I hope you find something in your life that is more important than bigotry, someday.
There is good in you, I sense it. : ]
I love how you put the little smiley at the end of your tl;dr comments to hide your butthurt. But don't worry, I am still tasting the tears. And you are right, actually. Culture=race! (Even if you were, Ireland has English culture, so...)

Guys.. this is a game, not real life FFS! In RL I would be pretty close to Gav's opinion (all be it I'm more Northern Irish centric), but this isn't real life.. this is a feckin game!
I suggest that if people are not strong enough to separate reality from a game, they need to take a good look at themselves in the mirror!
We want NI.. of course we do.. I have thing about whle number etc, and that chunk out of the Island annoys me. In this GAME it isn't ours to have.. so fine. Keep it, and get off our feckin grass!!
It's our grass now.
Dear Bhane,
I would like to thank you for your comments, specifically in relation to the French. Not only has your idiocy been exposed, but you have also pretty much ruined any credibility your country had, when you decided to compare the treatment of citizens in Northern Ireland, to jews in Nazi Germany.
Unless, and until, you grow up, and stop making such wild, deragotary and frankly, insulting, claims, you are showing the whole world why the UK has every right to keep this war open: because your terms are ridiculous and insulting.
Lol'd at your reply to me Bhane, not sure if you're trolling or not but fair play!
Don't get me wrong Ulaidian, in my preference it's Northern Irish > British and I'm proud of both. Anyways, I echo what you say about it's only a feckin' game.

That is a falsehood, and a twisting of the truth.
I did not compare British people to Nazi's. Are today's German's Nazis? NO! I compared a particular ancient British regime to them... not the whole British people for all time. When one British regime is responsible for killing half of Ireland's population at the time (10 million down to 6 million), then yes... there are certain parallels to the holocaust. No modern Brit was part of that regime, and they are not accountable for those crimes.
The German people are NOT Nazi's, but an old regime was
The British people are NOT Nazi's, but an ancient regime was on par with them.
The British people we all know today are NOT Nazis, and I have never called them such.
Go lie to your own people, not to us.
