Stupid And Neutral; Neutral Is Stupid
GGRyan
Dear Phoenix HQ,
I'm bored today, and I am reading the latest Phoenix article. "Good," I thought, "maybe there will be some news waiting for me." Sadly, there was no news. Really, all this article is, is very crap propoganda. I am not a traitor to my alliance and I think Phoenix has served my country very well but that article took them way down in my respect. This, is for two reasons.
1) We'll Help You Get Your Regions Back; That is, too France and Austria anyway. When do you guys at Command learn that they dont care who helps them. You can act brave, and bold and promise the world to the poor cousins, related only by the eWorld we share. But they dont care. They only want your help because your the poor soul which is fighting their enemy, and stupid enough to promise aid to these countries. Newsflash.
They chose to be neutral. To be neutral is to have no enemy or ally and if you goddam get hit, you are on your own. They knew this when they decided to go their own way, and now you are bailing them out. WHY?!?
2) Big Bad EDEN Smacked Poor Little Austria; They did. You and EDEN both try to take advantage of the politics involved when a neutral nation is hit by the other side and you both quite frankly fail. Where was it written that you have to defend the stupid, idiotic neutral nations when the enemy attacks them; ESPECIALLY when you are at war. So, the quote from the Phoenix Article;
Europe - eAustria
Yesterday we learnt following lesson from Eden.
"Small, weak, neutral, we don´t care we will attack them if they are in our way."
This pretty much describes Eden.
Austria, I assure you that Phoenix will help you to get your regions back and push Croatia into their own borders back. Phoenix as alliance cannot and will not tolerate ongoing attacks on neutral countries that never showed any aggressions towards Eden.
What about when it was Indo hitting Malaysia? Or, Hungary on Solvakia? In fact, I echo what "EDEN" have said, for they said it right. If a nation is...
"Small, weak, neutral,"
We should attack them. They choose to be alone, weak and vulnerable and so really, in this game, where we all wanna have some fun, they are easy pickings. If you are playing Call of Duty and a new player is stood in open terrain, do you kill them? Of course you do!
Not that my opinion matters, Phoenix. But, you need to straighten up your act. No support if the nation in question isnt either,
a) In the alliance.
b) Of strategical benefit.
And you also need to start focusing on the matters at hand in your articles. No silly messages of support. You should say what you have done, why you have done and provide a firm conviction of what you will do. Dont try propoganda; it doesn't suit you.

Great article Ryan 🙂
Both sides try all this "We're the good guys sticking up for neutral nation" crap. EDEN succeeded in this for awhile, so did PEACE. Both sides at one point were on the defensive, and when they were on the offensive they were liberating regions or just attacking the direct enemy.
I don't know why Croatia had to attack Austria, they are already surrounded on all sides by enemy nations.
Phoenix isn't now and never has been, the allies of Entente, they are just using the politics to make them look better.
Also: Phoenix must have been losing a lot of gold if they had to put "😉ont donate to Phoenix Tank Fund" lol
Voted, I agree with everything you've said here

lol, I just dunno why Phoenix feel the need right now. I reckon its something to do with losing but idk.
alright i'll vote this.
Good article 😛
I agree. Both sides often fall in to this sort of RL vernacular when they choose. Frankly it makes me sick.
America did it when Russia invaded Georgia.
Britain did it when China grabbed Hong Kong.
eAmerica did it when eHungary hit eSlovakia.
And now Pheonix does it when eCroatia hit eAustria.
Propaganda does not fly here eRepublik - not from any group.
Great article.
This all happened before, and it will happen again. It's just human nature, whether it is IRL, or on a browser game.
Voted, and Vive la Résistance ░░░
great article ryan, vote!
It is a bit embarassing, what with the current rampages in China.
Austria has forfeited the right to any support from any country. They must pay for their crimes. Also good article.
I agree with this article, if a neutral country decides to be neutral then they should fight off the enemy themselves without an other alliance coming in to save the day, but then again its probably so Phoenix can have more allies, the only logical reason i can see Phoenix fighting for Austria is to drive EDEN outta Europe which isn't needing done right now, Phoenix should be focusing in getting all their own regions back before helping a neutral country. That's all i have to say in this issue, rant is now officially over 😛.
@Dazzie07 - but if we help out Austria they can help us to push EDEN out of our nations
two sides to every argument
Sort it out Phoenix command where have your balls gone?
Well said Ryan, I concur most emphatically.
Though being the 'good guys' in the eWorld is obviously important to Phoenix, we have our priorities that we must focus our manpower on.

Austria is Phoenix's puppet !
EDEN may have gotten 'Phoenix tank fund' but they really should have gone for 'Phoenix HeadquarterS'
i disagree with this as these countries wanted to be neutral but eden ignored it and attacked them anyway.
Also havent you ever heard the enemy of your enemy is your friend? More friends equals more damage
a wee bit silly imo.
Must. Vote... This!
@St Krems. Crimes! Crimes! go dig a hole jump in it and remember this is a game.
Vote!!!
An excellent article
░░░
sir! this is an excellent article, I fully agree and think your opinion SHOULD matter because u are right!
Very Good article.
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times....
"Stupid is as stupid does".
In some sense I agree, but in another sense (the idealistic one) I think we should stick up for neutral nations, especially when under threat from Imperialist EDEN! However, it only works when Phoenix is NOT doing the exact same thing elsewhere!
Thought provoking article
Awesome article. I can't believe I wasn't a subscriber.
(that has been rectified)
sound common sense to me
The next best thing to killing the enemy on their land is killing them on neutral land. Everything beats fighting them in your own home. That way you're not responsible for tidying up the mess.
