[CP] Aries II: Poland, Tequila, and Medals!
Het Catshuis
Poland
I know many of you are upset about only have one region when we are required two by the treaty we have in place. The reason for this is because Poland is currently at war with Hungary and does not want to risk getting cutoff from their path to our oil. They have still been diligent in paying back our tax revenue. We will have our second region back before congress elections for sure.
To appease us Poland has decided to give us 1k Q7 for the wait. This is certainly well accepted by us and makes it a little easier to bear the weight of only having one region. We are trying to keep a healthy relationship, and I think this gesture is a great step towards growing and maintaining that relationship.
That being said, with this tournament in motion it would not be strange if we ended up reclaiming South or East NL. I watched the West NL battle and saw how many of you were eager to fight. For now we will be focusing on the airstrike, but if it happened that we RWd South or East NL back, then it wouldn’t be the end of the world. It is still technically our right to control one of those two regions and we have simply been trying to play nice with Poland.
Tequila!
We are working with USA and Mexico to help them with a region deal they have. This involves us airstriking Baja and drinking tequila when we get there. The basic plan is for us to take over Baja, attack California, lose, and then lose Baja. It will be a fun 2-3 day event that will greatly help us in the National Shield tournament. I hope everyone is as excited as I am about this and fights hard.
To be clear, this is a region deal between USA and Mexico. We have already been payed for the costs of the airstrike. USA will be tanking to win the battles for us while all we have to do is sit back and have some fun. All we are doing is helping these two countries along with their region deal, otherwise we don't have to worry about anything : )
I’ve also proposed that one gold be given for every 100% contribution a citizen reaches in this tournament. We will be making a lot of gold in this tournament, and I believe it is our duty to give back. I’ll give you more details on how we end up deciding to do the gold giveaway.
Medals
I’m awarding an Orde van Oranje Nassau Ridder medal to Wilpanzer for his recent 10k donation in light of the mercenary scandal. He came to me of his own accord to pay for a government mess without anyone asking. It is for this honorable and generous act that I award him this medal.
An honorable mention to Crusader33 for his 25k donation. He left his money to the state and quit.
Updates about Q7 and food giveaways, National Shield, Tequila, etc. will being updated through the various ministries so stay tuned!

Taco Bell!
Thank Garmr for tequila and burrito's.
How about some Mexico campaign medals
I'm pretty awful at this medal business, but I'm sure someone in my cabinet might be interested in that.
Free sombreros, OLÉ
Let's kill some Mexicans! o7
"To appease us Poland has decided to give us 1k Q7 for the wait."
I'm speechless.
I hope it's all planned well since the way you describe it gives several moments for the AS deal to go wrong due to timing issues and support agreements to be in place.
Handing a medal for someone donating 10k? Wow that really devaluates the medal I'd say. You can just buy one for a very small amount of currency. There are several people in this game that pay such an amount on a weekly bases to aid our players. Some even way more. To my knowledge they never received a medal for that. This one is really ridiculous. Not saying I don't appreciate Wilpanzer's donation put please keep it in perspective. It's only the value of 1 MPP and certainly not worth a medal.
I agree, medals shouldn't be buyable. If donating 10k is enough for that medal, we set a precedent so that people start expecting that 10k can gain them a medal...
The description of that medal, by the way, is:
"Useful contribution to the media-landscape or community of the Netherlands (needs a public Presidential statement)"
It's clearly not about the media-landscape, so apparently donating 10k is a useful contribution to the community of eNL...
I find that highly dubious. Afaik the community didn't notice it at all.
Typically contributions to the community are associated with moderating on the forum, on IRC, voluntary coaching, etc.
All things that in principle every individual gains from.
It's because he did it to fix a government scandal as a private citizen. He took responsibility for something that was not his problem and took his own time and money out to fix it. It deserves an award when no one else even considered helping with the situation, but instead decided to bicker and argue.
Thank you Aries.

As I stated in the thread, I've been in these situations before. It was 50(10k cc) gold I would give for the greater good any time.
I dont understand,1k Q7 of what?.
Safe to assume those are weapons. They could help us in the tournament. If they are used by the right players that is to have maximum effect. No offence, but handing them to you would mean 10k damage per weapon where someone like RikW would do 660k with one Q7 weapon. Or epix would do 950k. Big problem however will be health. We lack that so we need high strength players that use energy bars for maximum effect.
Non taken...😉
I see...yeah it would be better to give it to strong players indeed..
Better to give to strong players, but also good to give to new players to have some fun and stay playing E-republik.
If we are taking over Mexico to help usa and Mexico with there deal,,why are they giving us a hard fight to get it?..I don't get it..
So if I donated 2k Q7s would that be enough lose Baja? 😉
Or I could get Ghost to give you a pic or two 😉
Send me all the Q7 and money!
Medal awarded successfully to Wilpanzer
Medal not granted to Crusader33. Requirement for the Honorable Mention is him to have a Officier 1e klasse of the Willems Orde. He does not have that medal, nor the requirements for it.
I suggest you think of another way of honoring Crusader33.
Well, he quit so I figured it wouldn't be an issue.
Voted.
You have my gratitude for the medal,
Tulips & tequila?
If Baja fails then US still pines for saltpeter.
If Baja succeeds then Canada has their punching bag back.
Congratz on getting the US to fund your AS, Canada wins all the way around. 🙂
If anything Canada appears to be the punching bag.
Well, the war with Hungaria is already over. Does that mean things are going to be set in motion before the elections?
O7!
