Friendship and Brotherhood, where are you?

Hi guys,

Yes, that's tonight's question: Friendship and Brotherhood, where are you?

It happens that I was scrolling down eRepublik news and trying to get myself updated about latest events when this question appeared to me. I played this for too long so I got a bit harsh and nostalgic about certain things and one of them is how the alliances are built of.

I may have been wrong lots of times but I am sure I've never seen so much hipocrisy like now. USA and Serbia fighting on the same side?! Hungary and Romania?! Current alliances were built only because of the damage. On these days it seems like friendship is not necessary. Players seems like to need just two things: CO's and MPP's.

As an experienced player (ATTENTION: NOT OLD xD), I miss those old days when players joined IRC channels where hundreds of them were coordinated to deal damage on the battlefield. Many times without any supplies, just friendship and respect for the ally in need.

Nowadays I can pick few examples of this even if I don't like those countries. The ones closer to these old situations are FYROM-Bulgary-Chile, Albania-Bosnia-Croatia, CUAP and ATLAS and the baltic countries. All the other alliances or relationships were built because of damage AND don't tell me I am wrong because when things get though to the current alliances, their members just look for themselves first apart from those examples I gave before. Asteria, Leto, Sirius, whatever, just care about their bonuses and nothing more.

I still believe there are more players on this game thinking like me and that are moved because of the old friendships, I can't be the only one.

To finish this brief article, I just want to say this: One image is worth a thousand words!
