The saddest part of it all is that you were so excited
It's like taking a kid to a candy store and not getting him anything. It's like holding a steak in front of a dog's nose, only to snatch it away and eat it all in front of him. It's like a stripclub that doesn't even serve lapdances. I'm talking, of course, about Portugal's attempt to swindle the US out of 5000 gold. The fiasco was documented quite well by Killing Time, although did not recieve the hordes of votes that this Hungarian-written former Peace propaganda did.
We all know what happened in the end, the admins weighed in on the decision and decided in our favor. Exactly as planned.

Regardless of this decision, and regardless of the fact that everyone saw this coming, the US still paid Portugal the remaining 200g yesterday, just the finish the deal. Knowing what was coming, why would the US go ahead and actually give Portugal money? Because we are cool like that. We in the US are not nitpicking, money-grubbing, two-faced, untrustworthy diplomats. In fact, when Portugal failed to turn over Maryland within 14 days(they returned it on the 15th day after the contract was signed), I made a decision to not say anything about it, because I was pursuing peace in good faith, and I am not a nitpicking, money-grubbing, two-faced, untrustworthy diplomat.

So Portugal, I sure am sorry that your attempt to screw us over didn't go well for you. My condolences. Wait, no I'm not.

Viva Portugal!!!!
Eles falam mas estão quietinhos...
Now we open the trial to actually get the 5,000 gold that Portugal owes for for returning Maryland late.
TURD FERGUSON HAS SPOKEN
DERP!
Everyone who signs a treaty with you get's screwed over sooner or later, Indo's got it earlier as soon as they signed peace with you, treaterous attack followed immeadiatily, Portugal got their share with yet another admin decision in favour of E/F alliance.
Nothing new in eWorld I guess. But it is ok to support the weaker, it makes the game more interesting and chalenging
Denis must have forgotten the part where Portugal actually owes us money.

>Indo's got it earlier as soon as they signed peace with you
I have no idea what you'ret alking about. The Indonesians decided to vote yes on a peace treaty for the war with Portugal, even though they did not know which war the peace was for. Sounds to me like their hubris made them simply assume that we wanted peace in our direct war.
>Portugal got their share with yet another admin decision in favour of E/F alliance.
HURR HURR HURR
I seem to remember a lot of pro-Peace decisions during the war, and you guys saying that the admins are not biased, but there is only a perceived bias when the decision does not sway in your favor. Maybe if you guys could stick to one story for a while, people would take you more seriously.
The chicken's head disappeared and this appeared:
"Contracts between countries are considered to be valid only if they are signed by all country congressmen. "
amazing
If you are soo inteligent why you pay to us 500 GOLD if you know that the contract is invalid?
ChiolasPT is butthurt.
August 24, 2009.
I explained why, betu. It's because we have a little something called "honor". You might want to look it up.
Jeep don't be amer...stupid, if it's invalid for us its invalid for you -.-
Even if the rule came out of nowhere O_O
@Denis - good to see that you agree that since Portugal did breach the contract, they now owe the USA 5000 gold. I know it was just one day late to return Maryland, but according to your butthurt buddies, that's all it takes, amirite?
"honor" kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
bullshit
Honormaxx
Emerick is great!
"Emerick is great!" how long is Emerick?... lol
August 24, 2009.
Btw, voted, you are indeed true americans
Now you're so excited trying to troll us.
Everyone makes mistakes
Emerick is grate
Portufail
Of course it is voted. many votes here are portuguese. We all love fun and hear big throats, with no action at all!
lolada!!!
> Now we open the trial to actually get the 5,000 gold that Portugal owes for for returning Maryland late.
Sure, the contract is valid whenever it suits you. Silly american.
> Regardless of this decision, and regardless of the fact that everyone saw this coming, the US still paid Portugal the remaining 200g yesterday, just the finish the deal. Knowing what was coming, why would the US go ahead and actually give Portugal money? Because we are cool like that.
Suuuuuure

SUUUUURE
You knowm, the ones who got excited were the Hungarians. We were suposed to take this easy and slowly. I don't really care about the gold. In the end, with this invalid contract, we won 500 gold without doing nothing.
blah blah blah
boring -.-
estes amaricados são uns lol's
Dizem que nos deram os 500 GOLD mesmo sabendo que o contracto era inválido por uma questão de "honra"
I love how all Europeans consider Americans stupid simply because we are Americans. The funny thing is that it proves you are the "stupid" ones since that is the best "comeback" you guys ever have.

"Now we open the trial to actually get the 5,000 gold that Portugal owes for for returning Maryland late."
lulzzzzzzzzzzz
the contract is invalid for both side os just for Potugal :X I'm confuse :S
@Camoes: Actually, you got 500 gold for withdrawing from World War III. That's a pretty fair trade.
Pode ser que nos mostrem o quanto são valentes e então lá vamos nós outra vez! Quero um estado amaricado só para mim!
> I love how all Europeans consider Americans stupid simply because we are Americans. The funny thing is that it proves you are the "stupid" ones since that is the best "comeback" you guys ever have.
The reason we don't say anything more is because you wouldn't understand. We explained time and time again why we never fail in this whole contract thing but you don't seem to understand.
At least, emerick has some style, it's a shame the glory is taking over him.
> @Camoes: Actually, you got 500 gold for withdrawing from World War III. That's a pretty fair trade.
All portuguese attacks were funded by Hungary. So we didn't lose nothing. I'm not saying you did.
oh, breakin' news...
"Regardless of this decision, and regardless of the fact that everyone saw this coming, the US still paid Portugal the remaining 200g yesterday, just the finish the deal. Knowing what was coming, why would the US go ahead and actually give Portugal money? Because we are cool like that."
"Repeat a lie a thousand times and it becomes the truth."
999 left.
btw, you are doing a big effort to hide your fail, ah...
I see that there is no longer the need to declare war on this game. All you have to do is write an article and add the word "Fail" and wait for the replies.
Everybody's taking everything far too seriously in this game...
reading all the butthurt comments from Portuguese nit-pickers makes me lol. I would consider this article a success.
PORQUE RAIO TAMOS A ESCREVER EM INGLES NUMA NOTIÇIA QUE ESTÁ POSTADA EM PORTUGAL?????
ESTAS MODERNICES :*
ELES SE QUISEREM QUE VÃO AO TRADUTOR
falamos inglês porque somos uns fixes e temos honra, mesmo perante esta trolice toda junta! não é assim, amaricados?...
-.-
did you guys noticed... Portugal entered the war beeing payed by hungary in order to keep you guys busy... therefore, we wasted 0 gold.
as soon we went to war, we've helped out our allies by blocking you.
we knew that our country didn't have the power to hold the conquered regions, so... we made a contract...
then there was this thing... in which the admins said, and i quote:
"After carefully considering the presented facts and the inter-countries contract specifications we reached the conclusion that this contract is void."
you've paid us 500 gold for a void contract!!!
sweeeet!
but we did waste 5 gold... oh well... it's a hard work medal
but still... we got 495 from you guys
thank you! danke! obrigado! Gracias! Arigato!
spam
enfim...

just proves eportugal is still our enemy and needs to be... invaded for the security of eMerica!
awwww sad too seeni Nitpicking, money-grubbing, two-faced, untrustworthy diplomat. like that miss out, oh wait, like Em said NO ITS NOT!!! AHAHAHAH EAT CROW PORTUGAL
This whole Portuguese contract fiasco was obviously fabricated by the eUK to distract us from our invasion plans.
pity i had assumed once 5000 were payed the nap agreament would be forefeit and war could be opened
then again all nap agreaments are thus forefeit ? since they are only signed by the presidents ? or doesn´t peace proposals but be voted by both congress ?
tits.
August 24, 2009
trolling in eportugal is like pissing in a sea of piss. we even have a party in the top5 who dedicates entirely to trolling.
the funny fact is...
it takes a dozen articles to troll a few portuguese
but it took a single comment by a single anonymous president to troll a whole country
you will never invade us. you will never surpass us. why bother getting us angry?
he. we all know what the small print is for. to lay traps. nasty but leagal.
I lol'd
Poor-tugal.

i'm going to start scamming people by making a contract adn after receiving the gold i'll write:
"after carefully considering the presented facts and the inter-countries contract specifications we reached the conclusion that this contract is void"
seems to work!
> pity i had assumed once 5000 were payed the nap agreament would be forefeit and war could be opened
The nap isn't valid anymore. You can attack. Please do it.
"I love how all Europeans consider Americans stupid simply because we are Americans. The funny thing is that it proves you are the "stupid" ones since that is the best "comeback" you guys ever have."
nope
it's because of stuff like this:

We all know that americans are not nitpicking, money-grubbing, two-faced, untrustworthy diplomats... They're very smart too, I heard that in american schools they teach lots of foreign languages. oh, wait, thats here, not there... Je pense que tu c'est tree burro demais too understand the meaning of this phrase. Ciao. xD
