Reply to the CP about South Africa

Day 2,173, 23:35 Published in Australia Australia by T. B. Hat

Hello all,


Yesterday afternoon as I logged on to do my usual eRep stuff, I saw Mick had written an article about South Africa and Mutual Protection Pacts.
(The article in question, I’m sure you’ve all read it). I also got a mass PM from Nicky about said article, and how he felt it was wrong.

So I’m new right, I don’t know much about anything yet, so I ask Nicky what’s up. He links me to the MPP page and explains the situation to me. Rereading Micks article, I also begin to see how it was wrong.



So Mick, I’m here right now to explain, as best I can, in layman terms what’s going on:


Ok, so eSouth Africa (ZA) and eArgentina (Arg) were talking and stuff about things, and Arg said they wanted some supplies that ZA had in one of their regions. ZA, being the lovely country they are, said “Sure I’ll let you occupy me baby 😉 but you’ll have to fight me first!”. And so Arg didn’t have to pay monies, ZA attacked first, which broke our MPP with them. Arg won that region ZA allowed them to have and they made sweet sweet babies or something to make up.

Which brings us to now: Arg is occupying that space, but they’re peaceful and had no fighting for a week I believe. Aus has no MPP with either country at this moment though, since Arg’s expired and ZA’s was lost when they initiated the fight with Arg, so says this rule.

So now we have to renew the MPP with those two, but Mick thinks they’re still fighting. Sorta like how eAus let Chile have a region, but then Arg started a RW, making Aus break the contract with Chile. So in this situation, we’re acting like Arg did back then.

So Mick, don’t start a RW for ZA, and don’t attack Arg. They’re just friends with benefits having a mutually good time. I think we should sign a MPP with both of them when the time is appropriate. But I dunno, don’t ask me, I’m just a noobie 😛


Thanks,
