TRUTH

Day 639, 23:17 • Published in Greece Greece • by Haralambos

There have been articles written concerning the policies of the current government. It may seem more like deliberate disinformation. From now this newspaper will be used to inform the public about these articles and why what they are writing isn’t true. Hopefully the next one will not be as long.

Article 1: ** THIS ARTICLE WAS RECENTLY DELETED
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/look-at-what-happens--902790/1/20

“Look at what happens when we hold fire and wait for the Ministry of Defense to decide what to do. We loose Aegean Islands and nearly our Capital. Congrats MoD you nearly brought the end of eGreece yesterday. Now we have to defend every single region in our nation. The Aegean Islands were pivitol and Thrace is our Capital. The MoD delayed and Turkey took advantage by taking a stronghold. Now it comes down to the soldiers and citizens of eGreece if Greece will hold. Not the government it has failed us many times so now it just comes down to the grunt work of the citizens.”

The government is only as strong as its people. The instructions were simple. Do not fight till your last log in and if you must then fight in Aegean. Not fighting till the last log in allows us to focus our attack on the right battle. The Turkish used about 1500 gold to tank and take the Aegean. Let them waste their gold. The fight is not over and one battle does not determine the war. Also our allies were involved in their own battles. Who ever could help did. The Turks were going to try and take the Aegean since it is the gateway to all of Greece and directly borders Cenral Greece. Thrace would’ve been more costly and they still would need to take a second region to get to the rest of Greece.

By the way 15 turkish tanks, avg strength 17.2396, rank field marshal, with q5 weapons can do 314 damage each (this is an average). Fifteen attacks = 4710, with 40 wp = 188400. Our walls need to be over 200,000 to be able to withstand their tanks.

“There has been a lot of miscomunication, a lot of mistakes to be sure.

But with the Fall of New Jersey and Madrid AND the Aegean Islands, we must come to understand one thing. If we try to save everyone, we'll only lose everything. No matter where your from, no matter why you came here, no matter what your reasons for being in Greece are, you must acknowledge this. You're better off here, alive and free, than a conquered state of a foreign nation.

We tried to help both America and Spain, like any good ally, while also defending ourselves. But it comes to the point when we must realize that that strategy is not only a proven failure, but harmful to our own homeland.

Instead, and this is both selfish and correct, we must look to our own borders, when under attack.

At this point in time, no where is safe. The strongest of fortressess, the highest of walls, they're all open to death. With or without are help.

But here, here, we are just a sidefront, here we can preserve the dignity and freedom of our soil, in order for those lost in these attacks to have a place they can come to and plot revenge in.

Not only that but wouldn't a better way to help our allies be to attack Turkey? First we'd have to beat them, take back our land, but if we truly wanted to help them, wouldn't the smartest, least risky of options be to take the fight to them? Make them suffer like we all have suffered.

There may come a time when Greece is all there is. At that time, I just hope that there is still much Greece left to be had.”

If we attack Turkey we will activate all their MPPs and the full power of peace can be directed toward us. Right now with Turkey alone in the war against us our allies can contribute enough to defend us and still be able to manage their own on their home fronts. Activating these MPPs is pure suicide for us and our allies. This doesn’t seem “least risky” at all.

Article 3
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/40-e-greece-902976/1/20

“Ενημέρωση πριν απο 7 λεπτά:

-τα weapons q1 στην ελληνική αγορά ήταν 40% ακριβότερα απο τα αντίστοιχα στην Τουρκία, ελπίζω να μην μας κοστίσει αυτό στην έκβαση των μαχών!”

Using an English/Greek translator you get the following:
“Updated 7 minutes before:

s weapons q1 in the Greek market was 40% more expensive than those in Turkey, I hope not cost us the outcome of this battle!”

What it literally is saying, “the weapons in Greece being 40% higher is the reason we lost the battle”

The weapons in Turkey are priced lower compared to the goal because on average people in Greece make earn more.

Regarding prices of raw materials, high wages = high price for raw materials.
Regarding prices of manufactured goods, high wages + high price for raw materials = high prices in manufactured goods.

If you want to know why we lost this battle, its simple, they did more damage then we did.

Here is a list of the wages in both Turkey and Greece, the average and converted into gold.

Article 4:

“H ellada xani ta meri tis. Kodevi na xasi tin pelopenesos. an xasome tin crete me ta xatheka me ke mis”

First I can see that it is written with many errors (I’m not even fluent and can notice this off the bat). Second, the sky isn’t falling. If we stick together and stay organized then we can overcome any thing. Everyone needs to be able to follow the daily orders and execute. Doing this puts our government in a better position to gauge how we are doing and utilize its resources more efficiently.

Article 5:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/turkish-counterattack--901332/1/20

“We all new it was coming. The turks have counterattacked. They are going to try and take our capital and the Aegean Islands. Both are very crucial. If the Aegean Islands falls then the Turks can attack anywhere. So it comes down to which is more important. We need to hold both, but our capital is the most crucial. Hold the capital at all costs. Then move onto the Aegean Islands and secure it with a mass counter attack by us Greeks. Let the Turks know that they will never take us over again! They will all die on our beaches! Hold the line!

Current Battles:
* Thrace
* Aegean Islands”

“our Capital is most crucial. Hold the capital at all costs” - Following these orders would’ve taken defense points away from the Aegean wall. It is very important to ignore such articles and to follow the government’s orders.
