The Germark Assault - An Explanation
Infowar
G'day fellow Aussies! It's time to explain exactly what happened in regards to the lead up and aftermath of the airstrike on Denmark.
After the fall of TWO the Netherlands were split on deciding on which side they would enter of the alliances, eventually they had chosen to go onto the Sirius side but many were unhappy with this decision, but it was a decision that had to be made.
The past few months a lot of NEBULA country players started to make good relations with the Netherlands, and a lot of their players had close ties with Norway especially.
eNetherlands had been on good terms with Germany until recently. They were also in a defensive-pact called NSPP together. Germany decided to get greedy and leave the NSPP and then turn on their ally Netherlands and attack them for bonuses.
However, eNetherlands had signed a couple of MPPs with Pro-Asteria countries, this would help them defend themselves against the German aggression.
Pr3zzyy and myself realized that this could be a good reason to take the opportunity to attack an enemy country so that the public could earn some more TP damage for the tournament, make some more gold from the tournament, increase activity and excitement, and at the same time help out the Netherlands against the German oppression. This attack would be an attack on German interests.
Another reason why we didn't have a problem attacking German interests was because when Germany was a member of the Aurora alliance, they fought for Chile to attack Australia and fought hard for them to contain Australian RWs and ensure that Australia kept wiped indefinitely at that time. Australia had been kept wiped for almost 8 months without a congress at that time, Chile and their Aurora allies (including Germany) showed no mercy. Chile at that time wouldn't even respond to us when we tried to get an NAP so that we could at least have one region for a congress... Eventually after 8 months of being wiped one of our Spanish speaking players had finally found someone in the Chilean government willing to consider the possibility of an NAP with Australia. But unfortunately it was too little too late, we had lost a large amount of players from the great wipe who either left eAustralia or left the game.. The point being, is that Germany was an Aurora member at that time helping Chile to keep us wiped forever, they showed no mercy.
Why Denmark and not Germany? Don't be fooled by the 'why attack a helpless country'' propaganda, allow me to explain: Denmark and Germany made a pact called 'Germark' in this game technically Denmark doesn't exist, it is really Germany, that's why it is always kept wiped by Germany. Germany just gets all the bonuses and milks Denmark's resources, while Denmark saves all their funds and uses those funds for the interests of Germark. So in reality, an attack on Denmark is an attack on Germany. Many players argue that Denmark doesn't really even have its own government. It has a skeleton government that just presses the buttons needed when Germany tells them to.
Seeing that Germany has a huge MPP stack and a large amount of VISAs willing to hit for them, Pr3zzyy and I made the decision that if we could make the attack on Denmark instead of Germany directly it would increase our chances of landing the Airstrike as Denmark had no MPPs, then once the Airstrike landed, we could NE Germany directly from there. So we convinced Henry to push the Airstrike button.
Of course we didn't expect to win a war directly against Germany, they have a lot of money and strong allies from past history and they have VISAs willing to hit for them, we understood that. We just wanted to at least land the Airstrike and enjoy some war games for the tournament while at the same time the Netherlands could perhaps free up a couple of their core regions while the German oppressors were distracted and who knows maybe some of our allies would get in on the action too.. Unfortunately due to the fact that we couldn't get an Argentinian and Serbian MPP in time before we landed we were at a disadvantage as Germany had put up massive COs on against us, the amounts which they spent on COs we were not able to match, also they had contacted former Aurora allies to set the battle for them as prio in which many were willing to move there and tank for Germark.
Anyway we had fun and it was exciting and we made a new friend - Netherlands.
Want to thank NEBULA and all of our great friends who tanked for us during the Germark campaign, Cheers mates!

those 35kcc we spent on COs was worth it \o
Sure mate 🙂
35k more you can't spent in Netherlands ~.^
All in all a huge WIN for Nebula! \o/

Much COs, VISAs and Allies. You are the one with the MPPs so --> http://i.imgur.com/BMp1vhL.gif

> It has a skeleton government that just presses the buttons needed when Germany tells them too.
That's just not true. Feel free to ask them yourself.
>we were at a disadvantage
You had 9MPPs including France, Sweden; Japan, Hungary, Slovenia...against the country with the smallest population worldwide. You and your allies didn't even have to move to fight.
So yeah it must have been the famous "visas" and COs that lost you the battle and your huge disadvantage. It's impossible that your allies just don't care for Nebula or that the AS was timed horribly (you basically started it when we woke up).
Just as a reminder, that's the third failed Nebula-Airstrike in our neighbourhood this month and the Australian one, was the biggest fail of them all.
It wasn't planned at all.. It was an on the spot decision rushed before the tournament ended. Wanted some more wars for the tournament, but the CP didn't press the button quick enough.
Regarding the skeleton government: Hence the words: "some would argue"
that part is true, the danish dictator is our bitch
"that the AS was timed horribly"
HueHueHue
[removed]
I wasn't the one at the controls.. Wanted it pressed earlier before the tournament finished.. The CP went to bed when I told him to push it, then he pushed it finally the next day.. Was late.
"I wasn't the one at the controls"
.... yes....
*imagines Infowar 'at the controls'**10 AS's later* "Hey we landed one"*
.. hmmm that's probably a good thing...

Also from your last gov.article:
""Denmark has no allies, no government, no nothing. We can land an airstrike, and then progress a campaign against Germany in relief of the Netherlands."
Sound a little different now, doesn't it?
Not really, nothing happened which we didn't expect. It was an on the spot decision. But next time will will be prepared 🙂
"The point being, is that Germany was an Aurora member at that time helping Chile to keep us wiped forever, they showed no mercy."
Jesus Christ you can't be serious, I hope this is the response to the ESC banter.
"Germany just gets all the bonuses and milks Denmark's resources, while Denmark saves all their funds and uses those funds for the interests of Germark."
Yep that exactly is the purpose of the whole thing, you got it. We were also using those 200-300cc of daily Danish taxes for huge-ass COs to keep Australia wiped 17 years ago because we were allied with Chile!
"Seeing that Germany has a huge MPP stack"
9 is about as many as Australia has iirc.
"Unfortunately due to the fact that we couldn't get an Argentinian and Serbian MPP in time before we landed"
That was also our fault, we bribed Serbia & Argentina with horrendous amounts of Danish tax money.
All in all 10/10, good article with thoughtful propaganda and completely correct information, would read again.
oi m8 that's rude
LOL amusing
40 keks
I dont know if I have to be insulted by the fact that you think my country is no country at all, or if I should just laugh my ass of. I choose to laugh I guess, and maybe you should get your facts straight before telling that kind of lies to the aussie people.
As Queen in Denmark I should really get insulted, but its not worth it, our friends know what you wrote aint exactly the truth, soooo 😛
Well some would argue that you are just a skeleton government which just presses buttons for ze Germans. Hence the creation of "Germark''
and some would argue that aint true - Ill be one of those 😛 I press whatever button I want for you information 😃
I wouldn't mind pressing your buttons actually 😃
loooooool Infowar
xDD
The only one who has a skeleton goverment is Austalia, btw 😛
and if you have your way we will have another skeleton/puppet government. I love you like a brother X and believe you will do good for the country, if you would open your eyes to the greater issues being at hand here.
"The point being, is that Germany was an Aurora member at that time helping Chile to keep us wiped forever, they showed no mercy."

"Germany, they have a lot of money" <-- when will i get paid ?
Chile is still grateful about Germany helping us in keeping wpied Australia for 8 months. Therefor it was a pleasure for us to fight side by side with our German allies to defend the Union of Germark. Cheers!!!
But It's fine when you wipe countries for almost a year without a congress and half their players leave the game. You are the 'good guys'' right? LOL
and many "small" countries Chile kept wiped for months and months and months.. Destroyed the game and many players left the game.
But you are the 'good guys' right? LOL
And we are also frateful with all other members of Aurora which helped us in doing so and we will fight on their side, because your explanation for attacking Denmark could be your excuse to attack any other country of our former alliance.
***grateful
We would have released the Denmark region ASAP.. We would never keep a small country wiped for long.. Not like Chile. Your former alliance thrived on wiping small countries and giving them no congress for months and months.. That's what your former alliance was about. You are not the good guys don't worry 🙂

How to play erepublik for small countries:
1. Create a DEFENSIVE alliance
2. Attack another small country
As a result neither side respect you and nobody will care about you when you get wiped again.
1. Defensive alliance which was defending a small country (Netherlands) against German oppression.
2, Attacking another small country. You mean like when Germany attacked Netherlands for greed?
LOL
You obviously don't know the whole story concerning Arcanje's distasteful comments about Germany.
