Inventing the enemy
Patanjali
Some say (Umberto Eco, to point the finger) that we have the enemies we not only deserve, but we made.
eIndia seems to have a problem with that particular issue, being unable to find out an enemy.
From all the RL neighbor no one seems to qualify to attain this title for eIndians.
Pakistan, which is a RL enemy, is not a real enemy here, exactly because players don’t want to make the same mistake here, like in RL and, more, because here religion is not a real subject.
If in RL will not be a major war with Pakistan, there are no real chances to make them an enemy of eIndia.
China, a country with which India have border problems in north east, more problems inside the country, because of comunist guerilla commandos that China send in India, is also not worthy to became an enemy of eIndia, because they are few poor chinese players with a country invaded by romanians, croatians, etc, exactely like eIndia.
Indonesia is far of being a target for expansion of the Indian Empire from the South, and she is, actualy, a friend here. A trustfull one, but a little neglected lately, I would say.
Thailand is here, in fact, a country of serbs and hungarians so ... if you want to spend a week with a thai girl, you should be prepared to eat spicey Gulas and drink strong Slivovica.
Some of RL countries did not even exist here.
Country’s from Europe that actualy invaded the soil of eIndia did not qualify as real enemy because they are aliens here, unknown and ... wierd, in the end.
Having an declared enemy is a hard job. Especially in India, it seems.
Exacerbating the hatred feelings from RL could bring here (ingame) players that will dramaticaly change the indians community from eR. Not necesarely for the good.
On the other hand, those RL feelings, could make lot of RL indians to chose to join the game and make the difference of ... numbers. Because India got the numbers.
So, I would like to invite you to express your opinion here, answering the following two questions:
1. Do eIndia need to use RL feelings to increase the number of indian players ?
2. What country you think should be our enemy in eR ?

Nailed it yogi patanjali ji 😛
For keeping Indians in the game, it is imperative that we remain frenemies with pak and enemies with china, no matter how many people they have. Lol
Yes we need an enemy. But personally I cant decide which one? Maybe we can start with pakistan itself. Or maybe thailanx but in that case things will be too bad for us.
hmmm, sharry tried something like this to great effect.
All countries in erep except the strongest one must unite and destroy the strongest.
Repeat forever 😃 YOLO!
Our Enemy ??
The World would be my best answer.. Everyone attacks India..
ah my friend, apologies I forgot to reply to this...
From my side, I personally would not want hate spilling over into the game. I would not mind good natured sporting, fair and fierce contests between Indians and Pakistanis and Chinese, but not ones that are fulled by rhetoric and hate. I would love to see sporting matches like in cricket and hockey that we see amongst ourselves where the spectators and players are patriotic but never to the point of hate and after the match is over, there is a handshake and mutual respect.
Sadly here ingame, we being very few in number, neither india nor Pakistan really have an identity and the only way to create one would be to bring in more player son either side...advocating sporting matches and not hate.
At least India has more of an individuality in this game... poor ePakistan is now but a pale shadow of itself, having been PTOed and in general been abandoned by the lofty overlords who have always made Pakistan their stomping ground right from Dio Brando, Kualkerr (Abu Zar before he bought the account), then Max McFarland (1, 2, 3 ... x) and then probably the final one - The Dark Knight (Jonathan Joestar) ...
thankfully we have always worked together and kept ourselves grounded!
All the eCountries are enemies only. No one is helping us to grow and they only using our soil.
