Thunder - Imagine Dragons
Just a young gun with the quick fuse
I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanna leave my own life behind
Not a yes sir, not a follower
Fit the box, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number
I was lightning before the thunder
Once again I sit here trying to write this article. I have never really been much of a writer. Sure when push comes to shove I can get something on paper but it’s kind of difficult for me. I envy all those people that can just throw up an article, in what seems like seconds. While I toil over every word. What’s funny is... I usually end up writing it in very little time, but it takes forever to start.
I finally figured out why I was having such a hard time writing this. I am clueless. I tried to write an article on Politics and War, but the truth is, I have been gone for years. Last time I was here we were still in Pacifica, and while I have heard a few things, I am completely clueless why we are where we are and what got us here. I don’t even know what CODE is much less where we are in the world.
I heard that we were wiped, and I’ve heard reasons why, but everyone has a different story.
So… Basically, how do you write an article on Politics and War if you haven’t been around for a few years and everything has changed? I mean I could write it and do a ton of research on it but I would never get the what and why of it correct unless I hear from you.
So… take me to school. Tell me what happened. What did I miss? Why are we in C.O.D.E.? What happened? Why were we wiped? Talk, argue amongst yourselves but give me the 411.
Talk to me people.
Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.

I know less than you :/
You're in CODE because it's important to listen to your fighters.
I dont have any answers to your questions, but there are like 1000 answers from 1000 different people of which none will ever correlate with each other.
that's the point of the article. hopefully, people give me some answers
If a country goes to war and nobody is around to see it, does it still make a sound?
bloop
We are where we are because of congress and president Pfieffer airstriking Thailand when it was a Croatian satellite. This lead to cro and friends wiping us in the mainland for over a year. Carlos, zRTx, Colin, Lisamunusira, and I all worked in the executive to work with and to eventually join up and help create CODE by allying with the occupying nations.
we were wiped for a year?
I believe it was a year and a half or so
people who are close to the guy will do whatever possible to say that he wasn't responsible for the wipe. they generally want us to believe it's some ethereal thing that we had coming for years and fail to acknowledge the causal chain of events
@max
There's a lot more behind the wipe than just the Pfieffer AS. Lots of this stuff cant be discuss on the public place because it would make lot of tension between ''Friends /allies countries'' ...
I'm not looking for state secrets Groot.. just the facts that can be shared.
It was pretty obvious attacking Croatia was one of those "we have to do something to keep people interested" kind of things. I wonder, though, if Pfeiffer, who was on his way out of the game anyway, was the fall guy for what was a consensus decision.
I was one of the only congressmen who voted against the airstrike sadly
You left out the parts about Gnilraps and WildOwl but close enough
what about WO and Gnilraps?
Yes...please explain their part in all of it. Inquiring minds and all...
Frank stop being... Frank. I just want to hear the story about what happened... not gossip about what is seemingly unimportant.
Sadly only if those involved come forward anything said will be gossip.
I had private access at the time
Nice,

When I left we were still in EDEN, so I can appreciate the learning curve XD
PEACE propaganda
Bitter lies from the servants of Mordor LMAO
god that was ages ago... old man

ATLANTIS FTW!
1. Biting more than USA was able to chew
2. Changing the balance of the game by motivating enemies like never so far
3. Gettng wiped by (current) CODE
4. Creating the communication and establishing TW's with CODE
5. Becoming more and more friendly with CODE and kicking out Asteria's countries from surrounding
6. Being the last large area without Asterian presence - for now.
I'd be able to write you 7. & 8. but it wouldn't be too bright. Unless something like 4. happens again, with the other side, which I highly doubt because of 5.
Totally agree with #7 and 8 haha
Politics- dirty but... someone has to do it.
Dead alliance - Stockholm syndrome in combination with big money with hero complex wants to be savior at home here’s the server post your accounts there syndrome
ignored your own part
I can't imagine why you are still playing, the admins let anyone with big money win. Is this game for you?
Still some fun to be had in this game. I wouldn’t put all the blame on admins, they just create the tools that players use, it’s like blaming the inventors of guns for the dissapeareance of the dodo bird
Admins are the creators of this world so they can determine what will happen. For example when they introduced the dictatorship fee, they said they wanted us to play with functional congresses. Since then the game suffered thousand times more damage than the consensual dictatorships were. On one side, this is definitely the game experience of some big players who are paying big money for this. On other side, they are only a few people, there were other players and other needs that remained unexploited.

Most citizens -outside the elite- don't know how or why we do anything since fight club isn't talked about...
Let's just say...
-Individuals with huge ego and big wallets...
-AS Croatia for lulz by Pfieffer
-Current CODE countries wiping and occupying eUSA for +- 18 months (Which drove away lots of people)
-Lots of Diplomacy and necessity for CODE to get together to face and fight Asteria
-Establisment of TWs in eUSA ( Our only asset in this game)
Nice. Was wondering what happend as I was off for almost 2 years and when came back everything was strange. Love the history lesson.
It wasn't entirely Pfeiffer to blame for the events leading to the wipe. There are a lot of things that happened on the way. The failed AS just showed the eWorld that the eUS was not as strong as people thought, opening the floodgates.
Everybody knew USA was weaker than its attackers even one by one. What we didn't know Asteria won't defend USA against such attack.
I would not entirely blame Pfeiffer, he was already inactive and out of the game for long time when he attacked Thailand, for me it seemed decisions were influenced by Wild Owl and it was he who made USA disliked in erep in the second half of 2018. His calculations were wrong, Asteria didn't view USA as an ally and didn't help militarily nor diplomatically. Than the CODE elites found out they wanted USA on this side and somehow persuaded the USA leaders to leave Pacifica and change side despite Poland and other Pacifica countries tried to help USA (this has been denied later)
What changed the most is the game itself, it is much less about communities and much more about money spending. It was already like this in Pacifica times but admins made it to extreme.
yeah but we were more active in the meta and also in articles... I guess this was inevitable though
Boof your q7 tanks
