Whats with Asgard?
Master Lobban Le Rub Klitoris
Has it sunk in yet that eCanada cannot seem to liberate itself if we remain solely with Asgard?
Ever since we left are big alliance behind we have been subject to invasion after invasion and this last one by the Spanish has endured.
eCanada was put into Asgard when we had no congress and we have only had one congress since we joined Asgard those many months ago and I believe we only got a congress the one time because of significant help from USA MU's.
There was a lot of talk of how Asgard is perfect and how we should go with a smaller alliance since we will matter in it, but as Chochi says,"Asgard doesn't matter."
Is it really so nice to be one of the bigger members in an alliance and to have a lot of say? Well yes it is if we were a superpower, but we are ranked 36th and if we are the biggest member in an alliance then it means we are in a pretty meager one.
Keeping Sweden, Finland, and Norway as friends is good, but we do not need to be in an alliance with them. They are stuck in a back and forth feud with more evenly matched contenders while we have Spain to fight. Being in Asgard locks us down and since the alliance does not want to formally move closer to any other alliance we are left to face a continued occupation with little back up.
Are current administration in its latest article has stated that it shot down any attempts to work closer or to potentially merge into another alliance. Why does out government oppose working closer with another alliance that could potentially get our country back? Well because they 'deem unnecessary' any such actions.
On top of this our governemt says that eCanada will cut back MPP's with strong nations to save money, yet we are forced by the Asgard constitution to sign a MPP with Norway, I think most would be hard pressed to find a more wasteful way to spend $10,000 CAD
It is time for a change of thought in our government just as it is necessary to rethink are position in Asgard and the other alliances.
Rylde was one of the most vocal in support of eCanada joining Asgard but he is now with eUSA, maybe eCanada should follow him...

I agree with this article a lot, current policy is simply not sustainable, we need some permanent and powerful allies
I like Asgard, but I would rather be in a powerful alliance and free, than a cute alliance and wiped.
you should have a discussion with Dozzer then, see were that gets you lol
My understanding was that Asgard wasn't going to be an alliance of 4 nations, I thought it was supposed to expand and attract new nations to join our ranks. With EDEN gone our time to recruit has pretty much slipped away with no action. I'd like an article from Asgard HQ regarding future plans we have for this alliance. I don't think we should stay stagnant when all other alliances are getting bigger and stronger. We need a plan for the future, and so far we haven't seen one.
did they not say that they will not accept any more members? I think they rejected Ireland when they were looking for options. If Asgard still wishes to remain a north/Scandinavian alliance then I think we should leave it

Asgard is to grass as TWO is to a lawnmower. What we need is another lawnmower.

eCanada already is with eUSA.
with eUSA government, or with US-AIM? Most of the 'important people' in US government still do not seem warm to eCanada, getting into CoT could change that.
eUSA itself is not fully committed to COT, they have strong relations with some COT nations, however they don't trust some other members.. Asgard is small alliance and its being out numbered but that doesn't mean we should abandon it, we work to make it stronger instead, we our on our relations with eUSA and other friendly nations like China , Croatia and Russia
"we work to make it stronger instead" well from what I gather from the latest MoFA article they do not intend to make Asgard stronger.
We have failed ..

Yet another RW and another skunking in Quebec currently... but good lord, we're a big wheel in Asgard! C00li0!
I'd love to see the stats on the number of top 50 players that eCanada has lost in the last months.
