America,
So, the frontpage is confusing right now. Let me clear that up. First of all, just let me say
Here's what we planned to do:
Open a battle in Kansas
Retreat Missouri
That way, we would keep the initiative with Russia.
Here's what happene
Opened a battle in Kansas
Pressed the retreat button in Missouri for 5 minutes
Nothing
Russia retreated Kansas
5 seconds until the end of the battle in Missouri, we attacked Kansas
The next screen I saw told me that there were no open battles in in that war
Here's what I imagine might have happene
FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I sure hope something gets fixed regarding this mess.
well the retreat has an extra risk in this game😃 sometimes it does not work as intende😛) This war is still going to be so much fun😁
omg
I can imagine being president is a lot of fun.
I can't wait till Emerick writes his memoirs, oh wait, he already did!
Appreciate the update .. from a loyal soldier.

Something like that happened when we Turks were fighting Greece. We retreated in good time but the retreats were registered two minutes later than actual time, meaning that Turkey lost the initiative to Greece. BTW, when will America apologise about what happened two months ago?
Almost the same thing happened to Turkey.
@Battal: Almost, except we ended up attacking ourselves in Kansas.
>BTW, when will America apologise about what happened twon months ago?
wat
Cry cry battal, it appears someone found you floating after all!
Yet another example of how the war mod is broken and needs to be fixed now rather than next year.
That makes 3 times we've been whored by it.
Emerick, thanks for the heads up. Was sort of wondering how that had happened and this explains it. Anyhow, you're great.
Too much retreat in one day! Sistem couldn't take all that!
Turkey simply cut their timing too closely and got unlucky. It stands to reason that actions are not instantaneous and a few minutes leeway should be allowed. This situation should not have been a timing issue, i.e. what happened is the game bugged so that the US could not retreat from Missouri but at the same time Russia was able to retreat from Kansas. THEN the game made the US retreat from a battle that had already been retreated. What?
Believe me Emerick, I know what you feel... Same thing happened to me 2 days ago 🙁
tear.
Thank you for explaining to us "lowest common denominators" of the eRepublik (who don't yet totally understand the mechanics of the game)! The illustration was particularly helpful. Sorry for the frustration - but on a positive note, we totally pulled of a last minute win in OK... and we'll have to fight again, but it was pretty energizing for a moment.
...and the net result is ~30 gold gain for Russia.
Yee-haw.
Seriosly...
WTF?!
It shows that Kansas was conquered by us when the Russians retreated. And then was conquered by the Russians when we retreated. Yet the Russian battle has no history.
?!
Man that sucks... y'all basically just gave them 24 gold. Oh well... call it the Fog of war...
oh boy
🙂
The British might understand this as well... The Battle of New Orleans from The War of 1812...
wtf
I lol'd at that Amayama. Very few people are going to understand that joke though 😛.
-.-
lolz
I enjoy every minute with a smile - maybe the bugs on the road brings ppl closer than the destination.
Fun
cool story, bro
All I see is
FUUUUUUUUU
Thanks for the info, Emerick. Very funny update of a very frustrating situation. Can't believe that you tried to do the retreat strategy PEACE had been doing (if I understand correctly) those previous weeks and while it worked for them, it didn't work for you. Geez.

Time line shows they attacked when they couldn't, attacked states they couldn't, and won battles that didn't happen. The info Emerick gave just makes it ten times worse. Why don't they just be honest and when Emerick clicks a button, a message can come up that says "Give up, doesn't matter what you do, I'll pull the plug on the server before you win the final battle in this war"
The admins are not for PEACE (as far as I know...) Most of it is just plain incompetence.

This is Romanian game.
Do you still think, that Romanians are your allies?
holy sh%t. that sucks arse.
"The admins are not for PEACE (as far as I know...) Most of it is just plain incompetence."
Then they will fix this. I used to think people who said "Admins works for peace!" were just a bunch of sore losers. Maybe they're they don't. But the evidence that they are against America is beginning to stack up.
I wondered what was going on. I thought a war server started melting.
