..."the state will be under the protectorate of the Republik of eIndonesia."
Sad but true. Still , being allies, we fight by your side, although some of our regions (the aegean islands) are occupied as well.
Sooner or later WE WILL PREVAIL!
The population should move BEFORE the end of the battle, using only one q1 mt.

I am indebted to you k0llht0s for everything you've done for eQueensland, particularly with helping out with our hospitals. I hope one day we shall meet again.

o7!

Sadly you appear to be somewhat misinformed on these issues TJ. The Indo CP declared his intended objective was to wipe eAustralia before the election.

The reason we switched NE was to stop damage being wasted on the training war when a real war with eIndonesia was imminent. If you honestly think that concentrating on the training war was more important than defending our country from invasion, then you have a very misguided sense of what is good for the country. You should be ashamed of the brazen attempt to deny our right to defend our country to the best of our ability. Thankfully a super majority of Senators disagreed with you - thus allowing our defense to include the NE bonus.

The good news in one respect is I have an affinity with the people of RL Indonesia, having been there previously. I spent 2 years in Semarang in Northern Java and speak the language - although rusty after 12 or so years 😛

Regardless of the flag, I will always stand by eQueensland and hope to continue to represent them.

Your incompetence has led to this day, Venja, and be it on your conscience. You provoked eIndo in iRC just the other night. It began with:

after we have invaded Indo ....

If anything, it is you who got us in this mess. I'll give you points for your brazen ignorance at your complicity in this affair and I'll laugh when sir_c0nstant kicks your arse out of the eLodge. GL ;-o)

for the lulz ....

I hope you are able to negotiate that Indonesia only allows Aussies to stand for election in the Protectorate of Queensland - a small concession for raping the land. A small home for separated Aussies in the sea of Indonesia.

An evacuation ticket is Q2 from Queensland to the East Coast as it is in a different zone. Even the omnipotent gods of eRepublik knew all along that WA, SA and QLD truly belonged to Indonesia whose zone they share. Why else is Aus one of two countries that spans multiple zones?

You're barking up the wrong tree TJ.

The zone arrangement is a bit odd. I can understand QLD and WA but SA is beyond any rational comprehension. If they really wanted to arrange it as such they should have aligned NT before SA. Many an oddity abounds in game mechs..

Infin: The whole thing is as ghey as Hookerbunny and Discrate at the Blue Oyster Bar.

We had a TW with eNZ. I'll give Venja one thing - it "could" be argued it was a waste of money. On ending the NE, I erred on the side of cancelling it and was on record for that.. then the game plan changed when eIndo resurfaced. It is an ongoing debate how much each Senator - or citizen for that matter - weighed who was the greater threat whether it was/be eNZ or eIndo. To me, ending the NE (which cut the TW sidewinder, it was an NE) opened the door to eIndo's passage.

So whilst I can reason with Venja about who attacked, there is a deal of conjecture about who was the greater threat in the eyes of eAus.

Yeah - eNZ are a formidable opponent. However .. and I say this with respect to our Kiwi friends .. eIndo were then and are today the greater military threat. There was no way we could win eIndo from the outset and it was a stupid move to even open the door they used to open the NE.

TJ let me put this very simply.

We knew Indo were going to invade soon.
So we canceled the TW, and canceled the NE so we could try and not fight on 2 fronts.

Like a day of peace and quiet.
Indo start a NE proposal.
In response, I start a NE proposal so we are at less of a disadvantage.
Indo invade and start taking our regions.


Now this talk of venja starting a war with Indo is ludicrous. He isn't dumb enough to think we could take them. Simply put, we tried to make the most of the peace with Indo as we could, cos we knew they would invade again soon enough.

TJ, our NE with eNZ could not prevent Indo from declaring NE on us. So we quickly matched them up at least to get the 10% bonus. It's that simple.

Learn Indonesian fellas. Either that or talk to k0llht0s and see if he can help you set up in Greece, or with Carl in NZ.

owh so sadly..
hey TJ.. im in semarang 2!!!

Learn Indonesian fellas

Hallo mhanth4f! Apakabar?

wew TJ you can speak indo @__@

Senators represent the people of their constituent.. how many people of eQLD want you to deal with eIndo? Rather then throwing in the towel like a typical politician why not fight to the end like a real eAussie.

Chopper doesn't say harden up to you he just facepalms when you open your mouth.

We haven't even got a towel to throw in, Jade LOL!

I maxx bought gold, I asked for hospitals for the region knowing it was going to be at stake. I fought tooth and nail for what every other region was getting. Yet astoundingly, I don't recall one other eQLD Senator fighting for as much for the state as I was. I put my own money into the only Q2 hospital we ever got and it was assisted by Henry, SC and k0llht0s' generosity with gold and RMs that made it happen. Not the Government's.

You say I failed eQLD. That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. However, in the end, it was our state that was failed by a great many things. I not being any of them.

Hail ! To all people who fought hard for their country.
Salute ! o7

TJ, I spent hundreds of gold laying down hundred of thousands of damage defending Queensland. Others did too. Our opponent is 10 times bigger than us. It's not an even fight and once they decided to attack it was a good as over already. You will come to understand this.

You put in hard infin and I have recognised all soldiers who did. My question on the latest disbursement ratification for the Bunyips was simple: Why wasn't this proposed at the commencement of the NE?

Another thing, how the hell did I get moved to NSW? Put me back at once! QUEENSLANDER!!

Senators are moved to the capital when the region they are in is occupied by someone else(eIndonesia).

I lol'd reading this.

I understand that Mack as, after all, you're in the Government.

TJ, eIndo are 10times bigger than us and we have Zero chance of beating them. I think the biggest problem for us Aussies is our lack of interpersonal communication skills. We should be making contact with allies and leaders. We should be realising that alot of our allies are getting hammered at the moment and could not and cannot help us out. We should be finding ways to get on with each other and recruit new players into a competitive environment but one that is still friendly and non divisive. Do not be such a hard case in the politics. You write well and seem well informed on many issues but attacking individual people, i have learn't, doesnt do anything for the country, because in the end, it is just a game and is supposed to be fun.
I am not in the gorvernment and to be frank i think the forums can be a waste of time, but i agreed with Infin on this one.
I also put in work for minimum wage so that hospitals could be built. I also gave free weapons to many people and Gold to help with tanking. We all do our bit, and sometimes our 'bit' will not be enough to stop the hoardes of eIndo's from taking us over.

Arthinian,

I have no problem instigating diplomatic relationships with Indonesia given the fact that I speak the language and have RL friends in eRep who are eIndonesians. Be that as it may, I was discouraged doing so. Even if I was green-lighted, some senior eAustralian big-wig would just run off at the mouth and write an eIndo bashing article and there goes all the good will built - out the door.

There is always something to gain by giving a little and ceding the fact that eAustralia, despite the many efforts to achieve great things, are not among the most "citizen-strong" eNations. There is a natural concession to things from a military standpoint when one is in that position .. and we are.

For a lasting peace, a new course of diplomacy with eIndonesia needs to be taken. This alternating charge and defeat status is more damaging to our international relationships than any short-term regional goodness can bring. There is a big picture here and it's not all about wealth, BHs and region bonuses - there's mutual friendship and long term security.

Holy shit this is the funniest stuff I've seen in a long time. Venja causing Indo to invade, what the hell are you smoking.

By the way TJ, you're delusional if you think we can broker peace with Indonesia. Take your pick of times in the past people have tried, it's not successful and always ends in Australia getting hurt.

Also, please hit yourself in the head until you realize that regional politics has no place whatsoever in eRepublik. There's only two states in eAustralia that deserve any special treatment whatsoever, South Australia for strategic and resource reasons, and NSW for population reasons. All other states are equally unnotable.

I realised a while ago Hinokai that you were quite the moron so any attempt now to make yourself sound smart would be, generously put, an utter waste.

You fit the very description of the problems described here. Someone who's all about their self-importance, region worth and the almighty AUD. Wake up to yourself mate and face the fact that the very warnings many a citizen has put out about lack of community is quickly coming to pass.

Take the opportunity to kick back and give others a go. This isn't a popularity fest for the eOld farts of the game and sooner or later newer players will come up on the landscape. Go make yourself useful and manufacture me some food or weaps 😛
