NEW MU: FOREIGN LEGION
D u k e A r i o c h
Hello everyone
Some backgroun😛
Ive been thinking of doing this for a while, considering the difficulties I encountered when fighting for my nation, but busy rl and fading interest in the game put me off. But it being the summer, and with some time on my hands, I reckon its now or never.
As many people are aware Ghost Boosters aren't applicable in battles of the nation you hold citizenship of.
These are the conditions in full of using a Ghost Booster:
> You will not be able to activate the Ghost Booster in a battle on your Citizenship Country’s side.
> You may activate the Ghost Booster only if you are located in one of the countries involved (you cannot activate via Mutual Protection Pact)
> Damage Boosters and Bazooka Boosters do not influence the max hit in a round, nor do they increase the Ghost Booster’s damage bonus
> Big/Small Bombs will not count for the bonus
The inability to activate a Ghost Booster in a battle on your citizenship Country’s side has meant Ive been pretty much useless in all big Canadian wars, considering my low strength (and that's even with a standard Damage Booster operative).
So, my plan was establish a Canadian MU that supports eCanadian citizens living overseas, specifically lower div accounts that DON'T have upgraded training grounds, so make only piecemeal improvements in their Strength, even over long periods of time.
The direct orders of the MU will always favour eCanada and close allies, and members will be advised to hoard Ghost Boosters (that are earned when completing Daily Tasks) and Energy Bars in order that they might be used in important eCanadian wars.
I realise young accounts are pretty scarce in eCanada, but even if we can get ten or so soldiers in the MU, following orders and gradually building a nice stock of both Ghost Boosters and Energy Bars, should give us somewhat of an advantage in the lower divs come those big campaigns that we want to win.
A downside (and its a big one) is the loss of potential True Patriot gold. However if you have low level TGs, and the damage you do is paltry anyway, True Patriot medals quickly become difficult to win after the first few. So joining the MU is definitely a choice you should make after winning those first few easily had True Patriot awards.
It will also mean each member's personal damage won't show up as Canadian, however our collective damage will figure on the leaderboard, as we'll all be members of a Canadian MU.
The MU will be called 'Foreign Legion' btw.
Anyway, so that's it basically. If you want to join shoot me a PM, and I'll add you to the MU and sort out an avatar for you. (Remember tho: joining will mean having to change your citizneship.)

Change the name to Ghost Boosters and use a ghost busters theme logo.

Just got to.
I was actually gonna call it 'Ghost Recon' after the video game and because of the importance of ghost boosters to what we're going to do, and the logo we're using is still actually a version of the Ghost Recon logo. but there are already ghost recon mus about, so the name, in lots of different configurations, was already taken. same with 'Foreign Legion', so i put two spaces between the foreign and legion and tht worked for me
Best of luck Duke o7
thanks mate o7
Doesn't this plan rely on obtaining Citizenship in another country? And more specifically a country which isn't in a MPP with Canada?
yes to the first, as i say in the article. no to the second. mpps dont play into how ghost boosters work, its only mentioned in the rules to underline the fact you cant rely on your country being mpp'd with another country in order to be able to trigger one. you have to physically move to the country you want to fight for yourself
Do you have contacts in other countries that can guarantee the acceptance of various citizenship requests?
I'm sure it won't be a problem. It's unlikely we'll get to the kind of numbers that start to worry others about a pto so they should be ok letting a few newbs in with this reasoning.
Good luck D u k e!
@mercbaker - no. but i can help with that. like Chochi says, we're unlikely ever to get to a size that anyone finds threatening, so getting cs in a friendly country shouldnt be an issue. not to mention that everybody joining the same country isnt a requirement
Thanks Chochi

It isn't always easy trying to get citizenship in another country. Some of them have lengthy forms and others simply treat the country like a personal club.
Since getting that citizenship is required for this MU to work, I think you should have another post detailing how you would accomplish this.
I would suggest getting in touch with our country leaders and having them facilitate a channel of citizenship hopping with another country.
If you can solve that one problem I think it would contribute to eCan overall in a good way. I sure do have a lot of boosters... 😕
