The eUK and war; the sins of your fathers.
And I want to conquer the world,
Give all the idiots a brand new religion,
Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness and toil,
Promote equality in all my decisions
I want to conquer the world – Ban Religion
This article is based around recent events, with regards to military theft and ransom demands.
As you’re probably aware by now, widdows9000, Special Forces commanding officer stole government property worth around one thousand gold. The reason? He wanted Mr Woldy, the current UK Prime Minister to attack the USA.
But why?
Over the past several weeks and months, the eUK has stagnated, and even shrunk in military terms at least. During Hassan’s terms in charge, the Special forces, for instance, would do about 4-5x as much damage as they do on a regular day now. The UK, and it’s seeming refusal to commit to war has driven many long term, high strength players to boredom, and 2 clicking at best.
The eUK is once more a pissing contest for the political parties to get one up over each other, while never achieving anything worth achieving. Heck. Anything at all. You will never know the feeling of a real war, to organise hundreds of people and to actually make a difference in the game. For this I pity you all.
The country is ruled by people with stomachs weaker than the vampire from Twilight’s heterosexual streak. The UK has had enough of sitting around doing nothing; do you remember French Toast, ladies and gentlemen?
For the people out there who do not remember French toast, allow me to educate you.
Many, many months ago, the UK, along with the then allies of Canada and the USA, attacked France, in an effort to cripple and/or destroy the nation. The idea, spearheaded by Canada, was poorly planned in the extreme, and had no real effect of loss on the French, whom repelled the invaders with their MPPs.
Out of all the nations involved, the eUK lost by far the most. After the war, the country was broke. Gifting schemes were stopped, as was almost all government spending for an extended period of time. Those who were around at the time, and are of the cautious nature still remember this as a dark dark period of the history of the UK. They shudder when war is even mentioned in passing, and worry about every decision. During the largest war this game has seen, they were more worried about spending reports and their ‘right’ to information (which doesn’t exist). No, war fills the people in charge with a sense of fear.
But was French Toast that bad?
No. The UK had a noticeable player retention period which is visible even until this day. Many players cite this as the main reason they continued to play. Many other countries have experienced this phenomenon; not all, but there is a fair number who have.
Put simply, the eUK has literally nothing to lose. The country is rotten to the core. Politics and petty infighting are the order of the day. Heck, the UK forum thread on the issue? Party politics everywhere. Even your esteemed leader is too busy partaking in them than even considering fixing the issue. There have even been people so annoyed at fair handed moderation, that they’ve taken it upon themselves to threaten to leave in a tantrum.
There have even been messages of support from countries you are allied too. Why the hell aren’t you acting on your needs? Why do you feel the need to not attack.
Oh, that is right. The ruling elite would prefer to keep the status quo; their ineptitude when it comes to war, and any aspect of the game that isn’t making the population stupider, fills them with fear at that which they do not know. Is this what you want? Let Woldy know what you want. Click the link, click send. Tell him you want the war.
But hey. Enjoy the comforting lies that are used to placate you. Don’t challenge the government, or they’ll take your name.
Introduce a little anarchy. Press the button. Maine is nice this time of year I hear.

mmmm
Whah... Arse i tell you!
You run away to america...become a american citizen..then bitch and moan about us?
Then encourage the whole act of stealing from us?
I put my time into the navy...i get crappy wages for a reason..to help euk! Not for it to be stolen by some tit who could not wait a bit.
We all want war, we are not idiots here. War makes the game...but you need to be ready for it, it needs planning and building up of materials all of which got screwed by widdows.
Instead of actually being able to go to war... we now got to rebuild from our losses...more time wasted.
Yeh yeh i know ur a vet im a noob u know better yadda yadda blah blah Narcissism, Ad Hominem, whatever...point is we aint all vets like u and we see things different. We see ourselves working shitty navy jobs, donating time and effort to build up and attack right ... not being screwed.
WHen u got the balls to come back and actually try and make a difference do so..otherwise stfu.
agreed. UK should attack everyone.
I could point out all the flaws and errors in the above comment, but I've already written several essays this week.
damm you flump, posting like 20 seconds earlier than I am. ¬_¬
My last comment was at the mofo person.
American pawn Necrosis tries to goad the country into a suicidal war
Lol'd at the third paragraph from bottom.
Necrosis is right.
\o/
Horice
Had the people of the eUK had of wanted a suicide war - you would of been PM months ago. Simples.
Who are we to start a war that the majority of this country doesn't want and yes - I DO want war and I hope we get one very soon BUT to start one just because we think its fun? That is the true elitism here - people peddeling their own halfassed adjendas in this game.
Mofo Jacx <--- THIS GUY. I LOVE THIS GUY.
If government gets challenged they take names?
This guy has the right idea.
I agree with your article although i dont think a suicidal war would help.
Bawk.
The reason you're uninformed about what's going on behind the scenes is because you're a douche.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAA", screamed the loud people. You need to learn that there's more to the world beyond the tip of your nose. The game isn't all about you. Most people that play this game are those like Mofo Jacx, so no, unlike what you claim, an unprepared war is not fun for all. It is only fun for the high damage/high skill people who two click and are able to set themselves up in any e-nation and get a high paid job.
Boated hard
If Woldy won't do it, I will.
Vote Mahmoud.
Voted, because I know you know what you are talking about even if I 1) hate the fact you are now eAmerican and 2) don't believe in acts of terroism to get things done. I do agree we are stagnating.
And dish, I thought you were all for Sweden, not Maine
Maine is nice this time of year? It's cold. :[
Vote for me and this is what you will get <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbazH6aE2g" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbazH6aE[..]aE2g</a>
My songs are better than Necrosis'.
Btw, Necrosis is definitely an American. It's not like he lives in Essex or anything.
I salute you widds
PLEASE ATTACK USA AND CANADA
PLEASE
ACTIVATE OUR MPP
SO WE CAN CRUSH YOU AT LAST>
MARCH TO LONDON WE GO! SWEET VENGEANCE!
^^ I endorse Mahmoud
Either or. Attack Sweden, the US probably either attacks or they invade through MPP. The US, coincidentally, offers other benefits though.
GF is definitely an Essex lad
eUK says no.
Nice, bring it!
Also at all you B*tches worried about "suiciding" the eUK, thats the point. The eUSA was almost annihilated, very humiliated, and humbled yet we persevered as did eCanada and eSpain. Both the eUSA and eSpain got sizable baby booms from the wars. There is no way that the eUSA will be able to hold all of the eUK regions, you will eventually be brought back; remember how long it took Hungary and note the power Hungary enjoys.
In short, PREZ DA BUTTON!!!
Psh, eUK. I'm getting bored, and it's only my loyalty holding me back. Necrosis is right. He was one of our most vauled members in the eUK, and he knows what he's talking about. Heck, I'm stuck in Russia! I'm going back to the eUK because some army officers cannot answer my mails!
Necrosis has done more for the eUK than most ever will.
100% agree with you. Uk is politics land and full of little girls. it's why i moved to the philippines.
b-b-boated
EDEN propaganda!
In reality, Woldy is brave, strong, and decisive! And glados is honest and had the best interests of the UK at heart! And dish is intelligent! And the UK is a military powerhouse waiting for its fury to be unleashed upon an unsuspecting world! Who dares, wins!
So is the converse true as well?
"Who doesn't dare, becomes the UK!"
I do believe that George Barker is being sarcastic. How uncharacteristic.
I<3Necrosis
hey why dont you ah... shut up and only write for eCali
It would be easier to take your friendly advice if you hadn't just moved to the US. Kind of casts doubt on your motives doesn't it?
I really shouldn't vote for this article and leave eUK to slowly fading away as they were before French Toast. But Necrosis and Widdows9000 have been around long enough to notice when a nation is about to die in boredom and the only cure to that is war.
I agree with Necrosis we are stagnating, we need a war; and woldy has not been the best PM.
But there is no way i can accept widdows actions as being correct; he stole stockpiles of weapons and gold, and ran with them. If we weren't ready to press the button before, we sure as hell aren't ready anymore.
It was one of the most stupidest and counter-productive ways to get what he wanted. If you actually think it through it's pretty dumb.
Derp. I love how all of the non-UK citizens are endorsing Necrosis' actions and the only UK people endorsing the actions are those who were involved in RRS's theft of the treasury back during SaraDroz's term. Namely those who benefited from RRS passing out the Gold for tanking.
I'm all for a war but with the eUSA? now? When PEACE GC is sort-of collapsing?
tbh, with the current MPPs until there changed 15v1 doesnt seem like a very good idea either way...
mofo jacx is right.
Mahlak, you never called me a douche back when I was CO, you only think I'm a douche cos of what I've done now, fact of the matter is Woldy should have kept me informed.
Also drayd I didn't really keep any thing for myself, I tanked a bit and bought myself a q5 house but that was essentially the government bond I was due to get (don't worry you guys don't have to pay it to me now) and some of the tanking was my own money. I made clear I wasn't in it for the money, hence I gave all the companies away.
What you guys have to realise is a suicidal war isn't that bad. Seriously look at the eUS, reduced to one reason and now it's one of the top superpowers. You have to take risks or you'll always be an average little island that gets trolled a lot cos you fail.
Man I wish I speak Swedish so I could move there
Also; attack eUSA and get a huge battle going, proxy through us, it would be fun! Great MPPs on both sides.
We also get free wars with Norway and Belgium.
Fantastic article.
I commend you!
people have different ways of thinking and it was the eUK who voted in mrwoldy... so its the eUKs fault not purely just all rah to Mrwoldy... and just so yahs know I didnt vote him in
Hmmm...interesting comments!
However, your whole point is destroyed by two important facts;
1) You are no longer a eUK citizen and your words read just a little too much on the sycophantic side for the eUS
2) Yet again, you are in support of actions that are tantamount to theft. Such theft (like RRS actions) can never be justified to the eBritish public, even if you think we should go to war.
So, whilst your past service is greatly appreciated, it is perhaps better to keep your opinions of this theft to yourself, as they seem largely out of touch with the general feelings of the eUK populace?
@Jacen Molare: Keep thinking like that, and forever hold your peace. It doesn't take much for somebody to realize the eUK is going nowhere.
Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that you were so xenophobic that only comments by the British count as an opinion that you should listen to. I'll make sure to cater to that crowd if I write an article here again.
I am in support of actions that do the right thing, no matter which country they are. Any country that is stronger, more intelligent, and so forth is a great asset to the game, and thus a brilliant ally or enemy, depending on which side of the line you fall.
But hey. What do I know right, I'm not busy moralising and politicking over useless rubbish.
wow....the UK is dysfunctional LOL
I mean, some of your best people have fled the country, not just those loyal to EDEN, your citizens are bored out of their minds, your military is lacking and its supplies have been robbed, your nation is stagnating, and the elites are busy arguing about whether they should attack someone or not, and if so, who, to the point you all blow up at one another in this article for us all to read.
It is sorta...entertaining
This article is nothing but mouthing off.
Necrosis has left, okay, fine.
Personally I never agreed with his actions or the friends he kept but I could see that he was a fairly erudite person as far as his actions were concerned.
But he's gone so why is he still posting here. Make a clean break of it, if you don't like what you saw here then naff off and don't look back.
To quote an Americanism that always amused me when I worked there before the flood "Don't let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you!"
I see the 'cleverness' in what you have written here but its propaganda and its trying in a fairly transparent way to appeal to the lowest common denominator (war at any cost) to try to justify your actions and to get the outcome you want. We are not all the lowest of the low as you seem to wish us to be and the game is gradually changing now - not majorly but one thing is for sure, its not your game any more, even if its not ours either.
Tough, welcome to the world a lot of people have been living in for months.
Again you still trot out the standardised patronising cabal response of type "you just don't understand and so I'm not going to answer your comment properly (if at all)". Crivens man, you are the one who purports to be a political type - if you don't explain yourself then you look like a berk and that's it, you don't get to talk down to people who make reasonable points because the only one looking foolish at the end is you.
Here's to a hopefully slightly better economics module in the future and governance by people who have a broader outlook than that held by a small group of internet friends.
>>Crivens man, you are the one who purports to be a political type
I have never been so insulted.
LOL...I do agree that things stagnate, but this is swings and roundabouts. We have been here before, and we will do this again. My point is not xenophobia, but rather that you have moved on, so why continue to comment? You are entitled to your opinion, but you never struck me as one to look back on the past with some sense of 'nostalgia'.
However, my main point still stands. Yet again you have come out in support of actions that at best can be described as underhanded, and at worst can be described as immoral and traitorous to one's country. As with the RRS debacle, regardless of whether you agree with the actions of the Government or not, stealing from them is NOT the right thing to do! The people elected the Government, and if widdows or anyone else so disagree with the actions of the Government, then there is a much better way to go about it, than stealing and trying to force the politician's hand. In a sense, Widdows (and RRS before) betrayal is not just of the Government and the people who entrusted them with the information, but also of the British people as well.
What I cannot understand GF is why you and your friends continue to support the actions of people who have proverbially spat in the faces of the British people.
I think you'll find a hell of a lot of people support me, and that the majority of forum active people were calling for RAWR, I merely tried to give them what they wanted.
Trying to give what the people want is one thing. Stealing to do it is another! It was the same with RRS. Probably just about everyone was fed up with the government at the time. But they didn't choose to steal!
My beef isn't with your opinion regarding war, its the actions you took which I disagree with.
As for your 'support', do they support your views, or do they actually support your actions? If they do, then eUK has completely lost any sense of a moral compass that it once had!
>>What I cannot understand GF is why you and your friends continue to support the actions of people who have proverbially spat in the faces of the British people.
Because the British people are idiots.
''As for your 'support', do they support your views, or do they actually support your actions? If they do, then eUK has completely lost any sense of a moral compass that it once had!''
Bit of both, anyway at least I had the balls to do it rather than just moan. Also don't talk about morals on an internet game, it leaves me wondering just how mentally retarded you are.
"Because the British people are idiots."
And THAT is why the British people love you so much!
"Also don't talk about morals on an internet game, it leaves me wondering just how mentally retarded you are."
There is nothing retarded about morals, be it in real life or on the internet. Fact is, you didn't even have enough morals to prevent you from stealing from a fake government, on a poor facsimile of real life because they didn't do what little old you wanted! What does that say about you?
There is nothing 'ballsy' about that!
You seem to mistake me for someone who cares about his appearance in front of others; the first and most glaring error in a catalogue of mistakes that you constantly spout, with your moralistic stance which has no place in somewhere which is ruled by game mechanics.
But hey, you're obviously right here. Lets everyone sit down and get along.
I have no issue with game mechanics. They are necessary for this game, which aims to be somewhat like life. The fact that you also do not care about your appearance is irrelevant to me! That is your choice; you can choose to live a decent life here in the new world, or be a complete and utter git-totally up to you. However, don't try and pretend that actions tantamount to theft are a ballsy move, or that you, and others like you (namely RRS) should be considered heroes. You stole; from the orgs, from the government, and from the people. That makes you traitors to your country, and tarnishes the name of so many who have worked hard to make a decent go at this life.
So all morals aside, what you have done has ruined the hard effort and work put in by others. My intent is to make sure that your actions are not sugar-coated, but called out for what they are!
I'll keep my morals, and you keep your traitors hat, and see who has ultimate satisfaction at the end of it all. And again, let me reiterate, I don't care that you don't care. However you feel personally is your beef! I'm happy being moral, you are happy being a traitor who steals because he can't get his own way!
And like I said before, morals can be just as important in this game as the mechanics, if you choose to let them. You haven't and we will see how the rest of those who participate in this game judge you!
As a final word, there is nothing wrong in trying to get along with others. Don't throw it out there like its an insult!
Attacking the US would in fact be suicidal.
The UK can't hold regions handed to it against a defeated country.
UK should attack a more equal opponent, like Denmark.
The UK should just stay on their little island and rot away.
If I want to fight someone, I'd rather fight a more valiant and stronger opponent. Say, Colombia.
