[Don] Once we were Brothers!
Khutawyra101
Hello everyone!
There’s one country Ireland has always been friend with, a country we respected almost like no other. It was a warrior’s country, brave community which weren’t afraid to fly anywhere for their allies and most importantly they’d always choose friendship and honor before their own stability and safety. It was not only good for us as their allies, it was also good for them, because they’ve made us feel the same about them and do the same for them. In my honest opinion there were just two countries with such a strong dedication level. Croatia and...Bulgaria. This article is for the latter one, our ex-Friends, our ex-brothers we did everything for.
This is a story about them and our relations through the history. Our relation often moved the mountains and changed things, even if it doesn’t look like that. It all started long time ago, so it might be great if we start from the beginning. Beginning when being an ally of someone meant much more than having an MPP and fighting your own TW’s and once their in your control focusing on your ally. Because that’s not really how I imagine allies.
GLORIOUS EDEN
An alliance respected by everyone and loved by it’s members, it symbolises the old Erepublik in which we all played for our allies, for our alliance. It was sacred thing. In that time, long time ago, doing anything which could damage your ally’s chance to win was considered as a terrible move. No one even considered creating a TW, starting a RW or anything similar not to drain it’s ally when they have an important battle. Back then, the game was different and allies were made to care more about each others even by game mechanics, unlike now. That alliance name was EDEN.
Ireland was a long time member of EDEN, same as the heroes of this story - Bulgaria. Other members were Greece, Romania, Poland, Spain and many others. Bulgarians, Greeks and Croats had the best relations with Ireland and we enjoyed playing with them, it was our pleasure and honor. If they asked us to do anything, including wiping ourselves we’d do it for them because we knew they’d do the same with us. I can’t remember a thing I’d change from that period. I was a member of EDEN HQ as a Military Commander (MC). Before that I was serving as aMC. Those roles had a task to coordinated and plan battles and tactics.
I was also just becoming an Irish President back then and in that time Bulgaria was probably the most motivated country to fight for Ireland (them and Croats). We enjoyed it. I’ve met many great Bulgarians and fall in love with them. Windfall was a Bulgarian guy in HQ I remember. He played a crucial role in the future Irish decisions regarding EDEN.
Everything was perfect until something new happened. Bulgaria was an enemy of Turkey for almost whole the game. They’ve had some internal thingies in Bulgaria and someone there agreed to accept Turkey as a trial member. Bulgarians went mad and that guy was changed for someone new who respected the wishes of eBulgarians not to accept Turkey. At that moment EDEN has already started the procedure to get Turkey in. It was misunderstanding at start, but then it became ugly. EDEN was pushing for Turkey to get in, while Bulgaria has been getting more and more mad about them.
*one example of propaganda material from back then
We, the Irish, were the only EDEN member to back Bulgaria because we felt that making an alliance stronger by making one of your members unhappy isn’t the way to go. There’s been massive propaganda war, loads of wrong informations and eventually decision time has came. EDEN has decided to accept Turkey fully, while Bulgaria got mad and threatened to leave the alliance. Back then it was a shocking thing to witness because those things didn’t happen often. Countries still had honor.
Windfall was the one who explained us, the Irish, why they don’t want Turkey in and we agreed with him. Bulgaria had a legit right to reject Turkey as a full member of EDEN. However, turkish representatives were already in all the messages and everything else so Bulgarians backed off. When the voting moment has came Bulgaria wasn’t there, I don’t remember why, but they were probably protesting that way.
It was whole EDEN, including Ireland on the meeting. The outcome of the vote was all in favour of Turkish joining except Ireland. We used our veto on Turkey. We were still hoping Bulgaria would stay in EDEN if we do that. But at that moment it was too late, Bulgaria felt really bad about how EDEN treated them (and they had every right to feel that way). I know this will cause many of my friends to get mad at me, but I was there the whole time and I know the truth. Many will say that Bulgaria was working behind EDEN’s backs to get in the other alliance, but even if they did so, they surely didn’t pull the trigger first, it was just their reaction on the persistant initiative by EDEN’s HQ. That very same HQ had Romanian representatives as well as Greeks who later left EDEN. I don’t even have to say what happened to Romania.
Long story short, on the next meeting Ireland has used its veto again and everyone from EDEN was mad at was. We were facing strong threats and many wanted to kick us out because of that. We weren’t afraid as we knew we’re doing the right thing. We knew that, if we let this happen it will be the end of EDEN, it will mean that if alliance such EDEN was can’t keep in this game everything will change soon. So, after the second veto by Ireland we’ve decided to leave the alliance 1 month later. EDEN was stronger than before damage wise, but the old spirit of unity has never returned and although we’ve stayed in friendly relations with EDEN member it was never the same. Our alliance has falled apart within few months. We were saying that’s going to happen. Romania has left and joined Serbs, Greece left, Poland and Spain left much earlier as well. It was an end of an Era.
IRISH-BULGARIAN RELATIONS
Bulgaria was very grateful to what Ireland did. Our relations kept growing and at that time I can tell we were best allies of Bulgaria and they were our best friends too. We even fought against some of our allies to help them out, but only after the other allies would attack them. Time after time, we were accussed of sitting on two chairs because we simply kept all of our allies close. We didn’t want to choose between Croatia and Bulgaria and that was something which decided the future of Irish diplomatic relations.
Soon after that new alliances were born. I’ll skip few of them, but the next main event was founding Sirius. It made our decision much easier then. One thing we, as a country can’t stand is our allies pushing us to do something. It’s okay to give a suggestion and it’s okay to try to convince us, but the first time you start threating it’s over.
Sirius was made by Croatia mostly, USA too, but Croatia was the main country in Irish interests as we considered them as our best allies, as well as Bulgaria. eCroatia back then called me a “bulgarian” for giving them ultimate support, but I believe they did kinda understand and regardless of that we’ve kept our relations. A shock came when they’ve invited UK to the Sirius. The very same UK we fought against for years, very same UK was invited before us. We couldn’t believe that and we felt hurt. It made our decision in choosing much easier.
We’ve decided to keep good relations with Sirius regardless of UK being there as we didnt want to lose friends from there, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves being proSirius or wait for them to call us in. Not with UK in.
LOYALTY, LIBERTY, DIGNITY!
Ireland, Bulgaria, Chile, Indonesia, N.Macedonia, Mexico, Germany, Venezuela and few other countries has decided to found its own alliance. An alliance which would have foundations on the honor and friendship. We knew we won’t be the strongest side, but we’ve decided to keep doing what we do the best - fight for each others. Back then, Sirius was our friendly alliance and we kinda cooperated. Aurora had massive success in its start. I remember many great neutral articles on the alliance. We were even respected by enemies too. First several months of the alliance were perfect. We was never afraid to fight bigger sides and we had the best military organization within the alliance ever seen until then. Aurora was a new dawn and it made people think it’s still possible to play that way, with respect and honor to your allies. Ireland did Airstrikes on much stronger countries to help its allies, especially Bulgarians.
Bulgarians fought for Ireland any time we had a battle. It was a true brotherhood. I still consider all the Bulgarians who took part in Aurora’s HQ as my good friends, even if we don’t agree nowadays, even if there were so much bad blood recently. For some reason, this was the best time of my eLife. I enjoyed playing for Aurora. I’d spend many hours just working on its internal organization and it worked perfectly. We were small, but well coordinated.
I felt like it will never come to an end, but it did. I left HQ as I was there for a long time and some new people arrived. I don’t really know what happened there later, but it didn’t last for long. Aurora started to fall apart. It was more because of end of Sirius. Sirius died and the other side, Asteria/TWO focused on destroying Aurora. It didn’t took them long. At that time Asteria/TWO was by far strongest alliance. Greece, Romania, Serbia and many other countries were too strong for us to cope with them. It was the end of alliance, but not nearly the end of Irish-Bulgarian relations, we were still friends.
CHANGES
After Aurora there were few more attempts to start something new, but it never worked. Some time has passed and our side was weaker. Bulgaria still hated Croatia and the opposite too. It worked great for Asteria. Two strongest Anti Asteria countries hated each others. In the meantime Greece left Asteria and joined “our” side. After many years of civil war in Greece they were back to Croatian side. It was a moment when Bulgaria and N.Macedonia could start their relations with Serbia. It was also something Ireland didn’t like because we still didn’t want to lose Croatia and others from Anti Asteria. Especially Chile.
During all this time both Croats and Bulgarians helped us and we just didn’t want to be in a situation to choose between them. Bulgaria did Airstrikes to help us against Lithuania, Croatia helped massively with support too. Time has been passing and things were changing. It was more than obvious that Bulgaria will join proAsteria side. We would respect their decision and we would be happy to stay their allies until they did the same thing Croatia did in Sirius.
Bulgaria has decided to sign an MPP with United Kingdom. We asked them not to do it, but they knew it’s a way to proAsteria side. It turned out well for them, they got accepted by Asteria, but Ireland couldn’t follow. I still remember how sad I was when this happened. I knew that at that point there’s no chance we could stay friends with both Croatia and Bulgaria.
The difference between what Croatia did with Sirius (MPP UK) and what Bulgaria did with Asteria (MPP UK) was that Croatia were still on “our side”, while Bulgaria has decided to shift to the opposite side. It was the end of friendship. Soon after that Ireland has attacked the UK and many Bulgarians came on their side and fought with UK. We expected that, but not in that amount. They were building their way to proAsteria, and they were mad at us for not following them, they were mad because we’ve signed MPP with Croatia again.
ESCALATION
Governments has changed, new people arrived. Not only in Bulgaria, but in most of eWorld. I seemed that everyone forgot about once great friendship. I kinda understood Bulgarians fighting against us as long as it wasn’t directly against Ireland. At that moment Ireland did Airstrike on Australia. Bulgarians has decided to break that and came with mobile forces led by Mattrim. They kicked us out and it was the end of our relations.
Ireland has decided to answer with massive tanking against them and it was the final end of everything. Which is sad really. I still had loads of friends in Bulgaria. I loved them like I never loved anyone else. I’ve still been called a “Bulgarian” in Croatia and everyone has been telling me “We told you!”. It was time when I decided to stop playing actively for a while. I didn’t really have a motive anymore because all the countries except Croatia, Ireland, Albania and Bosnia changed their side. There were no long time friendships, there was no one to fight for.
Bulgarians started propaganda that Ireland was PTO’d by Croats and that I was the main guy who did that. It wasn’t started by my friends in Bulgaria, but eventually they’ve accepted it. In the months after it was sad to watch the amount of hate between the two countries. Afterall, we were best friends for a long period of time.
We’re both very allies orientate countries. Not many big countries can be called a great allies. Croatia and Bulgaria are the symbol of that kind of countries and that’s why we shared pure love with both of them for such a long time. Greece was once like that too, it seems they getting back there as well. N.Macedonia has its periods when they were the same. Chile too. But, the only two with constant support to its allies are Bulgaria and Croatia. They are like small, proud country among the big ones.
They are the Ireland of the big countries.
Ireland will never change, we’ll always be the same. We have a great community here, a great, honest people ready to help. It’s just sad that other, very similar people has decided to construct their minds in such a terrible way..
Afterall,
Once we were brothes.

i can remember you insulting your so called brothers acting in no official capacity. there is an old saying what you sow so shall ye reap. and if you mix with the scum the pigs will eat you.
i would love to say that ireland was ptod by croats, but this daft c*nt cant stop jizzing all over the keyboard when he sees his irish CS
sad story is that papi is TOd by ireland
#feelsbadman
Hahahaha ❤
I've one hand on his d**k and the other on his throat.
Work him like a puppet.
As long as you're working on the first part I'm not complaining 😃
🐐
Pure bullshit 😃
Glad you found yourself in the article. You (personally) had to get rid of Ireland somehow to get into proAsteria. You did that by insults and spreading fake news as youre known to do even among your own. Sad thing is that by doing so you have divided two communities and many friends.
I am surprised Germany still didnt learn you some manners.
You can take the boy out of the village but not the village out of the boy
I was just looking for a comment from Papi Don to reply on it, because its overdue, so you will see it.
"The difference between what Croatia did with Sirius (MPP UK) and what Bulgaria did with Asteria (MPP UK) was that Croatia were still on “our side”, while Bulgaria has decided to shift to the opposite side."
I would like to correct this, as Greece all that time was officially in Asteria regardless on their little home-play with thr terrorists movement. Greece had held Macedonia occupied during that full period in spite of Sirius, and Aurora's attempts to liberate Macedonia. Ireland themselves did several Airstrikes to help. None attempts were supported by Sirius.
You should know this as we spent so many nights working this out.
So yeah, in the end, it really isn't much of a difference. Only we had the balls to pull the trigger. Croatia did not.
що?
Nice read with my morning coffee...except the dick part 😂😂😂😂
хмм.... все още вярвам в Ирландия, всичко ми е Етам, дори сина ми в РЖ 🙂
Most of my best days were fighting alonside them...
"In CoT we trust" o7
It is pure coincidence the parts where Croatia-ireland-bulgaria have good relations are long, but the times before and after this are very short? All of the things before and after this are not important, just this one small block of time in the middle? It was good propoganda though, v/s
What you mean exactly?
It is clear what you want from this, to paint history the way you hope we remember it, not the way we actually remember it (or they way it actually happen, which may and also may not be completely different to what I remember, and what you write). The point is, if you want to talk about brothers, sure, but be honest and truthful in your presentation. Dont talk about brothers in titles, then think just because you praise us for a few sentences that we cannot see through your true goal
I actually have no idea what you're talking about, but okay.
I miss the old times before Croats decided to have eTR in EDEN. This game was once really a passion.
All we have now is Farmville vs. VISAland.
Enjoy your victories atm and fighting against us.
Don't forget your President also agreed to that back then...however, we always agreed on how that was wrong. I explained it in the article.
You said it - having eBG and eTR in the same aliance is like having eCroatia and eSerbia together. Only a crazy man can think it is possible. And they do the same later with our relations with eChile. So stop insulting us and be honest. Mattrim and Co. took a lot of help from your croatian friends to make us pro-Asteria. Sad but true.
I'd blame it 50-50, never said it was just Bulgaria. But I'm writing here about Ireland-Bulgaria and Bulgaria never had a reason to act like that towards the Irish. I know who started that propaganda, but it was just sad to see how many people in Bulgaria bought it.
I fought for you thousand times and always with pleause. And i never bought this propagand. Even now i never hit against you. So propaganda is to say we have changed in a terrible way and you not, because i saw you fighting hard against us in the last months. There is no need to excuse that with us. 😉
You never did, which is why I always said anywhere only positive about you. Many of Bulgarians did though and it just provocated reactions from our side. You know how it goes...
I'm not even trying to put any blame on Bulgaria, I'm just kinda nostalgic and sad this kind of friendships doesn't exist anymore. And to be honest I'm very sad with % of Bulgarians hating on Ireland right now...only because of false propaganda.
@morp we were in the same sides once remember aurora sirius? we were not that far from each other becoming allies. But Bg was being Bg again and giving LOVEEEE to Serbs.. :3
All those BULGARIAN PROPAGANDA LIES! As they would have been the victims. They were the culprits! Bulgaria did the same with Chile. As J211 said, we were on the same side in Aurora-Sirius. After the dissolution of Aurora and Sirius, Chile kept the MPPs with Bulgaria and Turkey. Chile never changed sides. It was Bulgaria who first signed MPPs with Asterian countries (Peru, Slovenia and a few smaller proAsterian countries at first, later on Serbia and Romania) . But Bulgarian propaganda made everybody believe Chile would have betrayed them, when in fact Bulgarians were there the perpetrators and traitors! Not to mention de hostile dictator coup Mattrim started in Chile.
I think that more than a fifth of our huge MU was with chilean citizenship for more than a year. We were there to safe and gain income to Chile instead to our regular conquerors. Well, their help was crucial also and i will not forget it like most of their players did...
as papi can attest to, i have not been a great proponent of cro-bul after the collapse of eden, and flausino wrecking our mexican colonies, but in the recent months i do see a fairly decent improvement in our relations, unfortunately up until the attack on egypt
personally i would like for our nations to get along, as it would be better for all involved parties, and the game in general
well except for romser ofc 🙂
dobar
Good reading to see some of what I missed in the last few years
I remember you from somewhere, some time...?
Maybe from the time Bulgaria was in EDEN 🙂
Must be it..
Victoria aut mors! o7
Best time of my elife, no doubt, but at the final you chose the croats.
I remember them like very, very good friends also and here comes your lovely explanation about proud, constant allies and so on.
Great story about backstabbing us by EDEN, and finally what? eCroatia took it so inside their minds that we are SOMEHOW colapsed EDEN, while they actually betrayed us in no reason. Is this the fair and honest ally?!?!? They insulted us hundreds of times after that even when there was no eCroatia from months. A looot of croats took eireland citizenship and your community fall on their thougths. At the final eCrotia was chosen from eIreland instead of us, when after year of loosing battles the eworld changed again and eBG, eIrland, eChile and eMac, had to choose again. Well, thats the brief and i still love EDEN, CoT and our relations then.
I can agree with most of the points, but eIreland never choose Croatia over Bulgaria. All this time we were accussed to be sitting on two chairs. The final decision was made only when Bulgaria went proAsteria. That was your choice to leave Ireland for UK and co. in our eyes. We didn't make that choice, you did. I understand that choice completely and I would never blame you for doing that after everything what happened, but don't say Ireland did that choice, cuz we didn't .
What I don't understand is Bulgarians treating Ireland after that, just because we've stayed where we've been before anyway.
EDEN collapse story is a very complicated one, but I was on Bg side back then and I would be again in the same situation.
Where's Flausino these days?
o7
Nice story. I miss those times as well. I too dislike what Bulgaria has currently become - farmers and an Asteria crutch (or a punching bag with regards of the circumstances). But you are talking about all this only on the BG-Irish viewpoint and therefore the story is incomplete and does not provide a clear view of why and how it came to this - the change of sides.
Actually, we had no choice. There was some small hope with the attempt to form NEXUS which failed miserably due to the joint efforts of Croatia and the pro-Asteria Bulgarian side. And that was the end of it all.
i vote for closer cro-bul relations after a long time, but that is my personal opinion, i dont know how i came to that opinion 🙂
😉
Haha
Switching Bulgaria for Turkey made one of greats era od EDEN, you let almost every country without congres elections , Turkey was member of ONE so we create first TWO , and EDEN was almost two year without Bulgaria and not couple of months
It's very good article for both countries. I can say that most loyal countries in this game as u mentioned are Croatia, Ireland, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina - even that the last 3 are small community, they didn't wanted to be puppets!
anyway I don't know why so much hate between Croatia and Bulgaria? I respect both but I don't know the reason !
PHOENIX PROPAGANDA!
Hail Papi "The Bulgarian" P)
