Wake up call, part II

''I'm no hero, and i'm not trying to be one. I'm not seeking for attention, hell, i'm just the opposite. ''
I'm also not a genius like Exalted Druid. /sarcasm off.

I've never claimed that i'm the smartest guy around, directly or indirectly, nor i ever aspired to be. I'm just an average Joe who's being lead by his emotions because that's how i roll. I stand by every word i wrote in my last article. And since i noticed that some people didn't read the whole article/or didn't get what i tried to say, i'm going to try to clarify some things in this article.

Your government is tirelessly trying to persuade you that there isn't any good option beside AS. That the AS is the only right, and 'smart' thing to do. Your government knew that we can't fill up the energy bar for an AS for the 30 fu**ing days, and yet they've waited and waited. Because 'twas the only option'. They say we'd lose MPP's and 90k. I say f**k 90k. We'd piss off half of the world? FINE BY ME.

So what's the worst thing that can happen... we'd get wiped? If you look closer at this broken nation, you will notice that there is nothing else to lose. Only 10 players are actually playing the game in Canada while the rest is 2 clicking or they're just dead. When you sign up and get elected, you're responsible for everything, you can't blame the game. YOU need to find the way to bring the fun to the people asap.

Also i think that anything, even wipe, would be better than this. THIS LETHARGY, ladies and gentlemen, is what's killing our nation. Now i don't know did you have the chance to be in the government during a wipe, but i had. I also had the chance to serve during peace too. And let me tell you something. Even during a wipe, we had some activity and fun, not just the government, but the people too. That level of cooperation, unity and activity in general was astonishing. Hell, it was the only time when we put our differences aside and fought for the common goal. So i don't think that the wipe is the worst thing that can happen to us. Just contrary, MAYBE we really need to get wiped, hit the reset button and start all over again. Just a thought. You shouldn't be afraid of the wipe, unless it's longer than 8 months *winks at Rylde*.

I'm also not saying that an AS is a wrong option, don't get me wrong. It could be a good option IF it's done right and asap. I think that launching an AS during major tournament can screw up our chances to land successfully. And lemme ask you, what if we fail? No wars for the next what, 1,2,3 months? We can't afford that. And i simply wouldn't gamble like that. I'd seek for an option that will bring us a long war, which is exactly what we need. It is not the question about winning or losing a war, because in the end we always prevail no matter what, we're just too stubborn to give up. It's about doing SOMETHING that will stir up the water in this stale pond. Which is why i blame the government. Because they spent all the time seeking for a 'smart' option, not the option that we really need right now. Some of you will agree with me, and some of you will call me crazy. That's fine. But don't call me stupid only cuz you don't get me.

Having a war with the USA was probably the best way to shake things up. The only thing that our leaders could have done was provoking them to start the war with us, like cpt.Obvious Druid pointed out. See? There was an option. If not that, they could've worked out the details with Serbia and other allies, giving them an explanation, among other details. Compensating the money we'd lose wouldn't be a problem. Serbia is the strongest nation in this game, and they're always down for a war with the Yanks. I won't go any further, my point is - there's always an option. I don't care is it 'safe' in your book or not. One thing is claiming that there is no other option, and the other is disregarding other options because you wanna play 'safe'.

Long story shorts: i wouldn't be ready to wait months so we could find a 'smart' option unlike our current leadership. Because it's clear that this game is dying, and our nation is dying and we can't afford to wait any longer. I'd try to provide something that i think our nations needs right now, as soon as possible. And i'd give my best to make it happen.

So if you follow the philosophy of our leaders, we're friends with the 80% of the nations in the game, and we can't have a goddamn war in the fu**ing war game. Screw that. Don't be a sheep, think with your own head. If you agree with me, vote for me. If you don't, i'm sure there will be some hippies you can vote for. That is all.
