National Emergency:

Day 2,038, 17:53 • Published in USA USA

• by Jimmy Cincinnati

A seven Nation Army has started to engulf the eUS. It will be a tough week. (It seems likely that we will be wiped, before the elections.)
I've never experienced a wipe. But, I put together a survival guide.

(Guerrilla Warfare) Being wiped, will cause problems with communication, logistics and the economy. There are several ways to make more out of what we have;

#1. Start a link with your friends. Announce your fights to people you trust. Ask for advice.

#2. Join IRC, #us-aim. This channel will connect you to some of the largest MUs in the eUS.

(Economic Warfare) You don't need a Q7 weapons factory, in order to conduct this type of war. Your dollars are voting power use them wisely.

#1. Ask your friends if they are selling weapons. You can avoid tax and your friends, often, give you a better deal.

#2. Be a conscious consumer. Try to buy from someone that you recognize.

(Psychological Warfare) Let your enemy feel like they are at war.

#1. Choose your friends wisely. Don't feed information, to dubious characters.

#2. Spy on your enemies. Misinform them.
Get on their IRC, on their forum, and on their Party feed. See what they are up to. Act accordingly.

#3. Let your enemy know, "They are not here as liberators." Insult them, Troll their papers and let them know that they aren't welcome.

I emphasize, "I have never experienced a wipe." If you have got some ideas; I hope you will write an article and share it.

Our phone-line, to the pentagon

eAmerica is strong willed. We will pull through. Hang out and watch the fireworks.
It's important to remember, in times like these, "Great people are made,in times like these."

If you don't know how to use IRC, I'll help you get started.
Send me a P.M.

Life goes on with a wipe. The bonuses are gone but you can still run your factories and work and fight, as well as that distasteful little political module.

I'd categorize the national emergency under three headings:

1. Invasion
2. Dictatorship by the meta-gamers (aka "Unity")
3. Ongoing Fifth Column work for the invaders by "You Know Who"

All three have a deleterious impact on our country. However, just because there is an invasion, you don't let the dictators have a free run and you don't stop fighting the internal enemy. You also don't suspend democracy just because someone is trying to pervert it. Refusing to let people have a choice or a meaningful say is no better than being invaded.

""Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." [Winston Churchill, November 11, 1947]

There hasn't, really, been any Democracy.
Parliament, isn't democracy

Was tempted to give a comment about how it's no big deal when your bros to the north get wiped, but I happen to like the author, so I decided to give some advice instead.

FOR PLAYERS

-watch your companies. The lack of bonuses is hell if you produce and sell a lot of stuff. If you feel like it, do the math ahead of time and try to get the RW companies you'll need. Be prepared to shut companies down though if you don't have the gold.

-keep your friends close. Get more active in your party and/or MU if you're not already. It kinda sucks not having regions, so make sure everyone stays active, and just remember that not quitting can be a huge protest to whoever is occupying.

-avoid supporting RWs if you don't have orders to. Seriously, that just messes with any plans your government might have for throwing support behind a serious RW, and it also wastes your CC. I predict that we will get a lot of retards launching lulz RWs since the eUS is a pretty big country, so keep reminding people to follow their damn orders!!!

FOR GOVERNMENT

-as with individual players, keep your friends close. Keep ambassadors in the countries that you like, stay in contact with CoT countries and other allies, and by God if thereès another country occupied by the same enemies, WORK WITH THEM!!! If you miss this, than youère screwed by default.

-check your MUs/supply programs/government communes/ect. (lack of) Bonuses and such.

-in your case, you'll be occupied by 7 different countries. If you can't use that to your advantage and get on track to kicking them out, I will lose faith in the human race.

Hope this help someone. Best regards, MoFA of a wiped country

>Bros to the North
Are you speaking of Kanada, the 51st state?

Or Brother Russia?

Jimmy Cincinnati Day 2,040, 13:37

I think that it was Canada.
I remember going there . Canada was our top priority. But, the eUS government was against it.
Kind of like this battle. Top priority for eUS citizens. The eUS government wants us to fight for Peru.

Last time I checked you can now buy stuff from your countries market, even if it is wiped now
