++ America: Where Do We Go From Here? ++
•
by Harrison Richardson
So, we've just recently lost FER.. which we spent month(s) planning for and buttloads of gold to execute. We lost by mere thousands in a 10 versus 1 all-out brawl. To say it was a failure is not correct; it was a great success, marred by a poor ending.
We put 780,000 damage up on a wall. That is one of the highest amounts in eRep history and certainly the most this country has ever done. It certainly proves the value of the war games we've been having and how much they have helped us increase our rank. So, we must continue to fight in war games -- every day!. This is being made possible by the agreement with Ireland, our faithful allies in these war game duels. Citizens and soldiers, fight, heal, and get yourself to 100 wellness -- and rinse and repeat the next day.
We must keep our current tax plan. Before the 20% tax levels (or PANEC) were implemented, this country spent peanuts on the military. Now, we have thousands of gold at the ready to battle against PEACE and their (cheating) allies. Commandant Harlot and his marines are well funded, experienced, and battle-tested. The amount of money we put into the military is huge, but the benefits it pays back to us are equally as large, if not larger. We came so close to a high diamond region, as well as a high iron region next door. Without PANEC, this would never be happening.
We must re-look at our participation in ATLANTIS. ATLANTIS, like it or not, is a sinking ship. Whether or not Romania is really going to quit or if this is all just a media frenzy to get the admins to notice, we have to assess our participation in ATLANTIS and decide if it is the best step for us. PEACE will always beckon for us to join, but as long as I live, I hope that we never join that alliance. I would be in support of a third alliance to weaken the current two-alliance system and provide more fun, diplomacy, and war to this game. ATLANTIS v. PEACE has grown old and, at least for ATLANTIS, is no longer a winning fight.
We must achieve an active and organized Army. Gen. Armandez is working hard on this as we speak, and I spoke with Lt. Gen. Joseph Schmo the other day, who assured me that all was gong well and the reorganization was going well. Dead weight is being dropped, new and active leaders are being chosen, and the Army is completely reworking how they communicate and how they keep themselves organized. With an active Army, I feel we might have won in FER. I think, in a month's time, we will look back and see what a good job Armandez has done and we will be in a better position to battle because of it.
That's all for now

We had too many people abroad that is on mistake on our part.
We had very few people abroad.
And all your ways and all your thunder, got me in a haze runnin' for cover, where we gonna go from here..
I thought FER was a success, though we didn't take the region, the United States gained over more experience than the 10 other countries. Though it was swept over by a bad ending, the latter results should prove to be stronger.
You say fight in the war games, but I am quite confused, I thought we were fighting the war games via MPP with Canada?
Great article, Harrison.
I concur, although Atlantis has served us well, it might be prudent to consider other options. Furthermore, I am happy to hear that the Army is getting some attention and have faith that Gen. Armandez will do a great job.
Keep up the strong work!
Panther - Problem solved, we now are back to the original situation with Ireland war games.
Thanks 🙂
Good article!
Excellent work Harrison. It's too bad we lost, but we are a stronger fighting force because of it and must continue to improve in the war games.
i agree.
it was no failure, it was 10vs1 and we barely lost.
Were gaining exp. and we will soon be a powerful force to be reckoned with!
Agreed 100%. Raleigh, yesyes?
Agreed, victories come in many forms. FER was one of these forms.
Good article, thanks! I had no idea we did so much damage to the FER wall.
What is this FER wall?
Thanks for the update 🙂
P.S. I actually wrote this with my head turned to the side, don't ask, but I had to figure out why the smiley face was facing the right way 😃
So we are going to side with the giant bully because we are afraid of angering them?
Why don't we just hand over all of our territories to them now and save time.
I will be fighting for Germany when the fighting starts.
"I would be in support of a third alliance to weaken the current two-alliance system"
Now, if ATLANTIS is in as big of trouble as you say it is, then us leaving to form a third party won't weaken the current system.
It'll annihilate it. PEACE will be all over ATLANTIS, and then we're back to square one, only now we have PEACE vs. the new alliance, rather than PEACE vs. ATLANTIS.
Doesn't mean I like the current system, but actions do have consequences. I don't think that America alone leaving will ring the death bell for ATLANTIS, but it will in no way help it either.
great article. voted.
