The Power of Friendship... and Allies (Sussudio Entry #2)
Jenavive RoseThorne Gemstone
What if we were left alone to fend for ourselves in a war? Do you think we’d win, or lose? If the opponent had over 20 countries helping it, would we stand a chance? If we faced Poland, we would not lose every piece of territory we had? What if Poland did not have his allies? Would we not... win?
Did the Allies not win against the Axis because they worked together? Did we not win the war because of how we stood united?
You see, we, as eRepublikans have that need to socialize with others, forming friendships that may reward us in the long run. Take me and Minou for example. When she needed food, out of money to buy it, I gave her some. In return, when I was dying of hunger (virtually), I was given gold (by her) to buy myself food. More than enough actually... I’m not ashamed to admit I didn’t spend a single brick.
Now before the eUSA decided to try and ruin Canada forever, we had the Brolliance. That Brolliance is actually what helped me find this site. Knowing that the eUS and Canada had that relationship made me eager to try this game. Let’s just say I wasn’t disappointed.
We’ve helped other countries because of good relationships- friendships. They won the war because their friends helped them.
This game is not only a game of war and hate, but a game of loyalty, love and trust. If we take this ‘power’, not only will we win, but we will surpass out own expectations. Help one another, and one day you’ll see, it’s all going to be for the better, for what you reap is what you sow.

😃
the problem about friendship between two countries is that it normally is between the players running the two countries. So when there is a new generation of players running the countries the friednship might end.
that said, I will always love eCanada 😃
Then we must forge friendships with the newer people!
good stuff
I'm a peacock. You gotta let me fly!
I've always held that relationships between countries are the most important aspect of eRepublik. It's great to interact with different people, but also it makes you more human. You're not just another country to roll over. This is why there was so much US backlash to their invasion.
Even when our friends are in different alliances, we can still draw on that reserve of goodwill to some extent. When those alliances break up, we usually find ourselves friends again. Alliances come and go, but connections with other communities last much longer.
That was really deep 😕
I haven't thought about it that way, but you make me see eRepublik in a whole new spectrum of colours...
Please tell me what I said didn't sound stupid though .3.
Haha you make me sound wise or something. I've just been here forever and did a lot of Foreign Affairs back in the day, if I didn't see something deeper i'd have to be insane for playing for so long. Well, i'm probably still insane, but my point stands 😛
It's okay, being insane is fun 😃
Lurve your article madamoiselle! And I totes agree with Xichael.
Lol, I'll admit I almost did not understand what he said 😃
Go Jenavive!
Nice one
Beautiful article! 🙂

Ik, but I was just wondering who bought it for me XD
I wonder who bought votes?
That's what I was wondering.
Maybe the final round needs to be decided through a vote from the people. Probably should have been like that from the beginning to avoid any issues like vote buying..
Well you can't blame me for the vote buying. I haven't done anything but write and advertise.
But then again, if you do that, we may have a favouritism game.
I didn't say you did.
I'd rather the community vote for the winner than one person..
I was just saying that you shouldn't blame me. I didn't say that you were.
Pretty solid article right here o7
Thanks. But even with the grammar, spelling, punctuation and formatting I have, I lost. Just because Bruce prefers death and bad grammar...
Hey, I figured I'd post something I wrote back when I was a bit younger than you, just for the sake of fairness.. I can't say who bought who votes, but I do know that we both had an equal chance of winning, and I congratulate you for making it this far.
I would have preferred if you posted something you wrote now. I do not like people going easy on me because I am younger. If I face someone, I rather them do their best. Despite your good intentions, that's a bit insulting to me...
Accept that you've lost and move on. As I've state😛 yours was a good article, Lelouch's was better. Not every failure can be blamed on others, it's best to take some personal responsibility.
Maybe apocalypse theories are more interesting to people than friendship. Maybe I'm just crazy and alone in this thought.
I'll move on well I damn well feel like it. It's not like I'm asking you to reconsider. So if you'd kindly leave me in my depression, that'd be nice .-.

Merci
Yes I did to, it was a good article
All very true, which is why Irish units fight for Canada regularly, even though we're in opposite Alliances. Friendship sees past temporary agreements.
Friendship can overcome any boundaries 😃
Don't take it too hard. You lost because of the party you're in, not the content! 🙂
You're a winner to us still!
Thanks. It makes me feel better knowing that I didn't lose because of the quality, but because of my political party.
