Hello eCuba,
before I start writing the article, I'd like to ask someone to translate it on spanish, so if you care to bother with it, please let me know and I will send you this written in google docs.
The title of the article perfectly express my feelings about eCuba at this moment, it's so much different than it was when I came here, I was enthusiastic about the potentional to build a new country, found a friendly, multicultural community where everyone would be welcomed, a country everyone would love, an organised country our enemies would be afraid to attack, a great ally our friends would like to have besides them..
So, how all of this changed?
It all started the first day I joined #e.Cuba ; the same moment eCuban citizen (also Romanian iRL I think) accussed me I'm PTO'er. It's funny to listen this from someone who's not even RL Cuban. I thought that guy has some problems, maybe he was trying to get some power, to befriend RL Cubans, I didn't know. Days after this I've recieved logs where Albus Dumbledore talks about RL Croats, RL Serbs without any reason for it, he was insulting the whole nations, later he said he was joking, but that's when this guy became suspicious to me.
On official eCuban channel #e.Cuba I started to speak english, naturally because I don't speak spanish. As soon as I started to speak english there's been few spanish speakers saying how I should not speak english there, but to use #eCuba (an empty channel where no ones speak). So I'm asking spanish speakers, because they are presenting themselves as native Cubans, why are you creating this divisions since the start of eCuba? I know it's not all of you, but I'm asking for the reasonable part of spanish speakers to explain others importance of united community.
I've been invited to help MoFA team and I happily accepted this duty, I wanted to do anything just to help create eCuban country. eazyjp, my very good and old friend has been appointed as MoFA and he really is great choice for this position. I was interested to see the plans of the new Government, a way to go, some concrete things which are going to be done, I've been asking, but there was no response expect some google doc with plans such as: "To see our foreign affairs situation". Okay, I can understand that nothing can be promised at this point, but shouldn't we have some goals? I tried to use forum, but when I've registered it was all spanish, literally all the topics, all the replies, all categories, this improve the last time I've logged in there, but we still have to encourage everyone to use those forums.
What makes me sad?
I feel like spanish speakers (mostly RL South Americans and Spanish) are looking everyone else in this country as "foreign opressors" just because we don't speak spanish and in RL Cuba spanish is official language. I'm asking all of you to accept us, not just because we should work together for the stronger eCuba, but also because you don't have any special right on the country just because you speak spanish. Croats, Greeks, Macedonians, Serbs, Turks, we all came here after long campaign to vote for Cuba, Cuba got the biggest amount of votes exactly because of our countries who have strong political motive to vote for eCuba. I was so happy when country I voted for was added, my whole MU voted for eCuba, I've been asking my friends to give their vote for this country. After it was announced eCuba is going to be added I was so happy. Until I met some people here, who are only talking behind people's backs and trying to cause some divisions, well we're not let anyone separate us from eCuba, we wouldn't let Greeks or Serbs to separate Spanish if they've tried that for example, simply because we have ideals that all people of eCuba should work together, that's why we've asked for sharing Government in the first place, because we felt we're being left out.
United for eCuba isn't just a name of coalition, it represents our motives, by "united" we don't mean only Greeks, Serbs and Croats, we mean all nationalities, all people who wants to make some effort to make this country better. We'd really like to include more spanish speakers, we want to meet you guys, we want to show you can trust us, we want you to show we can trust you. No one here is better than someone else. eCuba is country of all of us and I'd really like we avoid dividing of the community.
No matter who wins on the coming elections I will support it. I won't do anything to stop our future President from running this country, on the contrary I will offer my help, because I believe we have to help each other. Politics is a bi*ch, don't let it divide people, language is only a barrier we have to overcome, don't let it become a barrier we're not able to smash.
With love,
Don Croata

Hard vote
Few cubans have internet connection. They are either not cubans, or they are cubans outside Cuba - so they kinda need to know english. So, either they are not cubans (PTO-ers), or they are and they know english. Take your pick. Also, don't sweat it. The internets is full of jerks.
oh common , you ruined my comment below. . .

50 push-ups for the noob above 😁^

Signed.
To war!
Other than the only wanting spanish spoken, sounds a lot like eIrish politics, Don.
Can we ship ReleasetheKrakhead over to you, so he can sort them out? 😃
I actually liked Irish politics, at least you know who can you trust xD
I wish we could sent him in eUSA, they deserve him xD
There is not a country in this game solely ruled by RL natives. You know that, McF*ck, you Irish PTO'er!
😃
PS, how the dancing lessons coming along? Habanera, conga, rumba or mambo?
Grainne
Currently learning only Samba, since the World Cup has been announced in Brazil, I'll take rumba lessons after WC :3

This is silly, IRC is for speak, and if you don't allow english in your channels you are closing yourself to the whole world. How you think you'll communicate with not spanish speaking countries? morse? :/
pip pip piiiip pip piip pip!
That looks like UK's polandball
Nice article. Working with the winner to make a better Cuba is the ONLY way 🙂

You can use google translator
"(...) you don't have any special right on the country just because you speak spanish."
Oops.
Very, VERY, bad statement, proceeding from a person who must know about the topics "Macedonia-Greece" and "Serbia-Kosovo" and, thus, should understand about the "hispanic-american brotherhood" that a great number of hispanicamericans defends as a declaration of principles (of course, it isn't leaded to the extremes of the above mentioned, but still it isn't irrelevant), and this is because the "spanish speakers" (as you despectively treat us) aren't going to tolerate american countries politically under satellite influence of european or north-american countries.
Hence, it's not so simple situation and, to all of those people, it just to be critically complicated with the creation of UFC. You made a grave political miscalculation (Sure, you have good intentions and this article is a proof, but "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions"), confirmed with the bad statement above mentioned. Of course, there are alternatives to resolve the problem, but now we have less than before.
My piece of advice: Keep and support measures to the integration between the eCuban community (and that include, for your misfortune, to manage spanish language -second non-mother language in the world, after english-). Otherwise, the rock started to roll isn't going to be stopped.
Greetings.
welcome to game
I'm still waiting my FP, Where is it? xD
Welcome to the browser game.
So we have to speak english only because you don't speak spanish? That's not how it works! Try to learn some if you want to understand everything that goes on here.
Anyway, I'm getting sick of all this "we are being excluded because of our language or rl country", thats not how it works. First of all you gave the CSs of your congress members to people that only would benefit your party on future elections and don't even warned us. Secon😛 PPC called you guys before the elections to talk about Albus for CP and make an agreement for your support, you got greedy and break up the negotioation. And make your own coallition without even leting us know, making with the spanish and latin community exactly what you claim the we did to you!
Now the elections are here and Cuba is already divided and nothing will change until we know who will be our next CP. I wish luck to UFC and lets stop with this crying crap about languages. After the elections I hope we can speak to try to get along with each other.
VIVA CUBA!
Yes you do, or at least translate. Otherwise, it is called Apartheid.
No I don't, why don't you translate to spanish? There's a little tool called "Google Translator", it might help
Yeah, and Google translate is famous tools for translating stuff. It's so accurate that if you try to translate this : - e brt, ne valja ti poso oko tog gugla, ne prevodi to bas nesto valjano - you sure going to get good translation.
aprende español maestro si queres hablar en cuba, si queres de onda podemos hablar en ingles, pero no es obligación amigo, todo latino tiene que aprender ingles para comunicarse en el mundo, pero no tiene porque hacerlo en un país latino....a vos te gustaría que se tenga que hablar ingles en un país que habla croata (digo fuera de las 40 cuadras a la redonda de mide tu país)...no creo o si?
p😛 si contesto en castellano por que es mas lindo que el ingles 🙂
pd2: a Boznia y Herzegovina en el mundial le metemos 3 minimo :cafe: xddd
Cuba?
Where is that?
USA?
Why argue about it... it will be English language only, soon.
