Why I think "non-combat" is rubbish [BBC]
Dear boyz & girlz,
I understood the reason behind the "non-combat" decision as a form of protest. Ok, I dig that. Nevertheless, "non-combat", in my humble opinions SHOUD mean that:
- Industry of war is being maintained in top shape
- Weapons are being stockpiled like there's no tomorrow
- Gold reserves are being secured
- Army is engaged in military maneuvers in order to maintain discipline and cohesion (a good option would be international deployment with precise objectives)
- International relations are being well maintained
- The country is exercising diplomatic pressure and lobby for the completion of the things we are protesting for in the first place.
You see, virtue has a strange way of working: if I can rape your behind and CHOOSE not too, I am virtuous. If I simply can't accomplish that specific act, I'm just impotent.
If we have the military, logistic and human capabilities to fight and CHOOSE NOT TO, we are making some sort of point. Otherwise, we are just being Emo.
In 2 weeks of "non-combat" we should have produced at least 10.000 weapons, which should be at our disposal if we would CHOOSE to get out of this "non-combat" state. Well, unless we got'em and I'm ill informed, we suck.
How about making a plain decision regarding this game. Either we quit because the game sucks bigtime (man, I hope my article won't be erased because of this, oh dear), or we stay and make THE BEST of it (we can choose to protest, but at least in an appropriate manner).
Waiting for your feedback.

Non-combat is rubbish. Signed!
Stay-and-make-the best-of-it now strategy. Non-combat era is gone in my opinion. I want aggresivity, I want action.
Not fighting is fine by me, don't get me wrong. BUT, with the above described amendments...
>Either we quit because the game sucks bigtime (man, I hope my article won't be erased because of this, oh dear),
Game sucks it is true,but even worse is that Admins are not doing nothing to change it.They are never online,never in touch with eWorld.They are not answering on tickets and letters,they ignore big bugs(like Serbian situation).Their only mission is to sell this game when they make good price.It is all bussiness,admin ruined this game because of money...Hm,whole RL World is only thinking about money,so it is probably normally.Sad but normally
Great to read an article in English from you Appleface!
Regarding the decsions? I'm a Swede and Romanias internal affairs is up to Romanians to decide. I will respect any outcome of it.
Best regards
Misho
Zocky: wrong. Money comes from solid products and great services. I wouldn't EVER run my business like you suggested if I wanted to make solid money on long term. All the mistakes you have mentioned are there, I know, but I doubt very much that they would be rewarded on the long term...
I think protest should be done by all of us at the same time. Bugs affect the gameplay of all the players, not just romanians.
Of course, most worried are always those affected by the exploits. Hungarians used to call your country Adminlandia because of the numerous bugs that seemingly affected only the Hungarian party. Now romanian army is in "non-combat" due to bugs, disregarding even the 200k bricks added to WSR wall during the last battle.
So if there are bugs, all players should rise their voices against it. Bring proofs, send tickets. But I think any action made by just a single nation is useless, and tends to be proofless mud-throwing.
Hope to say you "welcome back" soon.
Hey Misho I've added a darn apple to my profile as a result of fierce protest from the Swedish military. So, get your ass back into the article and write a consistent opinion.
since you put it this way ... I agree
De acord
No.
The non combat would mean NO STOCKPILING OF WEAPONS and NO ORGANIZED FIGHTING. Only a few respect it though.
It's the only way to prove how corrupt the game really is. There will be no fair fight in this game for months after the bugs are solved (dreaming, I know).
Down with non-Combat! Come back, and fight!
What is missing for us the Romanians, spread all over this new eWorld is a short term objective, some would like to take over Indo, some would like to take over Thailand, I personally would like to open a farm in Chile and a wood company in Australia and so on...
Also we need someone to lead us, What's_his_name Craciun really made his presence felt (disguised irony, I know his name is Alex)... on a lake fishing
I personnally did not agree with you policy AppleFace (again disguised irony) with freeing Ukraine and Moldova, but at least you were out leader.
I rest my case
okoopat: freeing Ukraine and Moldova were decisions that backfired, I know. I did a lot of mistakes as a president, don't think that I'm unaware of that. But at least WE TRIED, WE LOST, then WE TRIED SOME MORE, WE WON, WE LOST AGAIN, and so on. This is called BEING ALIVE! And it's freakin' great!
fight..who doesn't let you, but don't put us to fight..good luck..
Ok, my opionon - since I'm ordered to give it.
If Romania really stop fighting and loses region after region, Hosptials and Defense systems and so on. Then Romania will suffer. Will Admin act quicker in order to help Romania?
Hell no. I dare to say that the Admins are very scared to give special treatments to eRomania because of accusations like Adminlandia and so on.
I'm afraid the protest will result in eRomania taking punches and getting damaged in vain.
If a protest like this should be done, why not gather the presidents for the 10 largest countries and agree to not press the fight/attack button for 30 days? That would effectively stop 90% of all wars in eRepublik of agreed upon and send a strong message to the Admin and Game Developers that things are not working very well at the moment.
Most of us are struggling to continue to play this game and are only here since we believe it has a great potential. So far the V1 has failed to live up to our expectations and the Game Developers are the first instance to admit that they lack people.
Focus are more on developing systems to deal with problems rather than dealing with them. I can understand that even if I also understand that it's a poor comfort for those who need help NOW or even more so needed it yesterday.
Admins are literally forced to be ignorant today so they can create a system that can help people with their problems tomorrow.
A non-fighting-protest from Romania doesn't change a thing as far as I can see. A coalition of presidents agreeing on not starting more fights would at least free more admin resources - from maintaining wars and bugs in the current system. And could as such be successful.
..yes, I could go on.. but I'll stop here. Plato is calling..
You all forgot the reason for this non-combat.
@dsalageanu that's exactly my point: we did something, now we have no leadership to take us to ..... somewhere
also a decision that it's going to backfire for a while is changing the Magritte avatar
the "noncombat " decision was worst like any bugs for eromania`s economy,prestige and power
Back to life Romania
Well I think too that we should end this tactic, but as someone else said here we can not oblige nobody to do that.
I vote for non-combat .
Remember this : <a href="http://www.erepublik.com/ro/article/dezastru-postnuclear-802984/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/ro/article/deza[..]/1/20</a>

The apple is not properly aligned. Move it slightly towards the center of the image
Oh, and voted. Nice article.
come back to the ring :')
Personally I agree with Misho.
No, acuşi-acuşi uităm româneşte în presa din eRomânia.
De ce să citesc engleza în presa noastră?
Ce? nu mai ajunge nici un gold la tine si ai gasit solutia veche... razboiul...
I'm new, but I think that if there is a bug, is for all of us. We shouldn't stop for that. Let's play, let's rock'n roll
vote
I was for the non-combat period. After all the discusions, comments and contestation the war against Peace wasn't fair for us and bla bla bla....you knw the story.
Have you forgoten how it was for every romanian to support that? Those feeling of humiliation when whatever we wanted to do in the war, every effort was for nothing, when we have lost battle after battle?
I don't think that now we must find a guilty person or blame the administration. They have take the right decision, but now the circumstances are others...so stop searching the reasons for "Why I think "non-combat" is rubbish [BBC]" and regroup yourself.
We have a lot of work to do and unfinnished bussineses.
@Stefan cel Mare: the Russian campaign and the re-conquering of WSR have costed me personally around 7-800 Euros, in real money. Don't be fooled, millions in damage require dozens of thousands of weapons, out of which many are bought. Then, these weapons need many hundreds soldiers and many dozen tanks.
Just the distribution of the weapons and gold in the battle for WSR took around 5 hours. Ask Alex Craciun, the "thief" and the "weak leader" or The_Mihai, the "corrupt arrogant" how many thousands of gold or hundreds of hours he donated to the community, they were there...
Trust me: I don't want to be president again. I understand Alex in his burnout, I understand why Mihai isn't playing anymore, I even understand Smifs decision to impeach himself.
NOBODY is playing this game for the freakin' Gold!
I agree. We in PEACE are bored.
@salajeanule ai punctat foarte bine si cat se poate de realistic!
De cand "UNII" au luat decizia ca eRomania sa intre in NC,eu doar 1 zi nu am luptat!Fiecare "decide" cum crede de cuviinta.
-CHIAR SUNT FFFF CURIOS CE STOCURI DE ARME AVEM SI CE BANUTI !DESPRE ASTEA NU VB NIMENI.
Non-combat mode could be a good way to express some claims and opinions.
Launching an attack during the declared non-combat mode (without declaring its end) is rubbish. I understand that the tactic situation was urging to attack in Moldova and Bukovina and I also understand that these pieces of land are dear for any Romanian heart. But doing it in non-combat mode has a certain humorous aspect.
