[CODE] Why we attacked USA and how will it end

Day 4,690, 02:38 • Published in USA Greece • by Code Alliance family






A word to all interested parties, especially fellow Americans.

As probably most active players are aware, there are pending airstrike attacks targeted at USA. First of all, we are deeply sorry this turned out around RL date that is extremely important to Americans. I can assure you that in no way we are referring to that point. We tried to avoid exact date and we managed to do that. We are sympathetic towards Americans for tragedy that happened 19 years ago on September 11th.

But let's differentiate that with ingame matter that is of relevance in here: US attack on Brazil. USA was until recently full member of CODE, closest ally of Andes and attack on one of them is considered as attack on all of us.

To make it even worse, Brazilians reported they were mocked and laughed at by US officials when they got attacked on their RL independence day. We still want to keep fair play from our side nonetheless.

US was our yesterday's ally. We understood the message when they told to us: you made no big reaction when Ireland left alliance. When South Korea left. Yes, we let them go in peace. But there is big difference. They weren't secretly plotting against us.

US administration knows very well how many reassurances they made to us that they are fully committed to CODE causes. After that, we showed understanding when they signed NAP with Asteria. We supported USA. They even departed and we showed respect. All this time USA government was assuring all of CODE that their main concern was about community and that they are not even thinking about changing sides, such questions when naturally occurred, more of curiosity and needed reassurance, were considered as insults. Behind sophisticated words, in reality there was happening all that we are witnessing now.

On the other hand, when USA wanted NAP with Asteria, we supported them, we wanted to see an ally survive in the way they wanted and also have secured stream of resources, gold mainly. And now those resources are used, were used and will be used to fight alongside Asteria. Were we naive? I like to believe we showed maximum respect towards someone who we considered friend and gave them our full trust.

USA was also last CODE country that was being invaded by Asteria. We secured that by focus and tactical moves. Even then, when our countries were occupied, whole CODE gathered in defense of USA, and we resisted for some time. Very soon as we could no long hold our defenses, NAP between US and Asteria happened.





What it all means and what will happen you may ask? Attack against one of our friend is attack against all of us. But we have no illusion here. Mathematics plays this game and it says USA and Asteria are full of gold to defend everything they are committed to, without a shred of a doubt. And that is how it will end, sooner or later. That is not our point. Some of us will make a landing, maybe some will not. It is about message that we are carrying here. You cannot treat yesterday's allies like this. You cannot blackmail countries and all players along with it. What matters is: you cannot and will not attack one of us and just go by with it. We did not start this fight to occupy USA, we started it to show what is right and what is wrong. To make a stand.

Same as when we started boycott to make this game better for everyone, Asteria used that circumstances to take upper hand and exploit our dedication for better quality of this game to their advantage. That is why although we are seeing it as burden on our backs, we strongly supported boycott, to have better game for ourselves, but also for Asteria, for neutral countries and for all e-citizens present. Game improved is better game for everybody. Not everyone will understand or support point we are so inclined to make, but it is natural and understandable that people have different personal stances on that matter.

We play this game by our rules and ideals, all that cherish them are welcome in our family. Often it is tougher path ingame, but with peace in our minds and hearts because we know that we are doing what is right. Some may consider that as patronising, moralising and including RL into this game. Those are our values. We are weaker side on battlefield. But we will not pull back from being better people and doing the right thing. For some those are empty phrases. On the other side, that is what we are playing for. People will find themselves accordingly to camp they belong to.

It is about setting standards.
If we can't stay true to ourselves in simple game like this, then how could we do it in real life?

I am going to ask something unusual. Fellow Americans, even if you are defending your regions, even if you fight for your country and your bonuses, do not consider us as your enemy. We are not your enemy. You are fighting for your core regions along with Asteria, yes. But not because of you, we are not having issues with USA itself, with US players and community, we have issue with your leaders that are collaborating with Asteria and lying to you. But the red line is crossed. Sovereign country as USA, like any other country, should makes their own decisions. And not be in service of someone else's agenda. Deeply, you do know that you expected this for fair reason.





And how will this end you may ask? Simple. While we were fighting Asteria, USA wasn't. While we were boycotting, Asteria was farming, occupying us, and preventing us to earn anything. Which brought us to being is position we are today. We attacked a lot stronger opponent, both USA and Asteria. I am still proud of what we have done, how we acted and how we treat each other. Consider this as friendly reminder that we are not for sale. You blackmailed some of our friends. But under umbrella of our side we will keep together and fight against such acts. Beside strong message we are intended to send, along with it, we do hope to have a bit of fun on both sides. That is what this game should be about, about fun and fair play.
Message to all our players and friends:
Check your country’s priorities, fight where is needed, help an ally.

Our motto: We believe we are more than an alliance, we are A Family.

Hail CODE!
Hail Friends!
