War game with the Philippines should stop

18 Day 760, 04:36 Malaysia
Yesterday, a group of concerned citizens held a rally demanding the war game with the Philippines be stopped.

"In times when our allies are in need, the continuing war game with the Philippines is a distraction", said the leader of the protestors. "While experienced citizens will learn to place the war game low in their priority, relatively new citizens may participate in the war game at the expense of our allies. In fact, during Indonesian invasion of Malaysia, the war game remarkably continued without any concern for the serious state of hostility between Malaysia and Indonesia."

Certain fractions are proposing for the war game to be suspended so that the defense of Malaysia and its allies could be better managed. "At the moment, according to those fraction, we should be focusing on aiding Australia and not participating in a war game." Furthermore, they argued, with so many allies fighting wars everywhere, "those wars are enough to act as war games for Malaysian citizens."

We can't stop the war games. Or else it will stop forever as participants will leave. And you know what that would mean, right?

Nagyzee is absolutely correct. The attraction of the Sol wargames is that they are reliable. End that reliablity and they become less attractive, then Malaysia gets fewer MPPs the next month.

Seeing as other nations have payed big money for these war games to be held - and also taking into consideration that MPPs with above mentioned nations can be useful when defending from Indonesian attacks - I see no way we can stop this TW.

"those wars are enough to act as war games for Malaysian citizens."

@Whoever said this: This is rather short-sighted, really. Would you please think not only of your own country, but of other countries as well?

With greetings from your neighbor,

dear author,

u'd have to understand, those fighting for sabah are not all malaysians. they're foreigners who've signed MPP for malaysia. those countries paid money to be in the wargames so that their citizen could train and gain experience/skill.

we might have the option to go to real wars like helping australia or defending ourselves against indonesia. but those countries dont. they rely on us. and the advantage of this is that we get the MPP - if we're under real attack, we will at least be safe and secure due to the alliance.

No. Dont decide to have training war on the eve of a huge battle.

dont worry. we have our military orders.

majority of those involved in the training arent involved in any other battles. so while others are engaged in the real battle, those who're not will continue the wargame hosted by malaysia/phillippines.

simple, really.

They should not be stopped. The war games not only help out young players & keep them interested by garenteeing a war at all times, but they are also vital to our national security. As a small ntion, we depend on the MPPs we get. You say there are plenty of wars to defend our allies, but if the war games stopped we would loose our allies.

You do raise an interesting point, though. Of course the army bullitein is a great source of info, but we can't garrentee it will be used by everyone. I don't know if we could make the games smarter & postpone them when our allies--or we--are in real trouble, but if we can't do that, they still cause more benifit than harm.

A more organized approach to informing the new citizens would solve this issue. Ads, articles, etc. Encouraged forums involvement, IRC, the Malaysian chat rooms, whatever it takes.

Halfie, keep your half formed opinions in your own country, please.
