Back in black.
Algaroth
As if I ever wear anything else...
I'll make this simple, I'm not here to make friends. I have several friends. I spend a few hours with them and drain them of all they are and discard them. They usually have the word "starköl" printed on them.
Sitting on the sidelines doesn't cut it for me. I want back into politics. So I'm running for party presidency again in FBS.
The problem on everyone's minds doesn't seem to be the war with hungary, rather on the wages in Sweden. And I've yet to see a thread in the congress debating this. Granted, I have access and the power to start such a thread which would build upon the discussions that has already yelded some good ideas in the governmental part of the forum. Granted, they weren't the solution to that particular idea but they might be the solution to this.
Basically, use state money to fund more domestic companies by loans or sexual favours or whatever. Either by starting a company run by the state to control the wages, or by lending money to trusted players to start more companies. Raising the minimum wage as Radsoc has once again suggested would only lead to the SEK being worth four times less than it is now, or that new companies would go bankrupt which would lead to even lower wages. If you don't understand that, then please understand this, you're stupid.
As president some said I did nothing. Others know what I did. Know that if I had not done what I did, ATLANTIS might still be, and we would still not have any active wars.
Icehacker did me a favour and got his party to support me in letting Germany into ATLANTIS. The idea then was that by getting Germany to join ATLANTIS Hungary or some other PEACE nation or whatever would be pissed off and attack Germany before any ATLANTIS MPPs kicked in. Then, after they had conquered Germany, which they would even if Sweden had an MPP, we could go in and liberate S-H. Sweden wins.
That never happened and I am a bit dissapointed in PEACE. But they were expected. The point was to fight them. So what if I backstabbed pretty much all of ATLANTIS. Now we know which allies we can actually depend on. Kroatia, Poland, Romania, Finland and Norway have always stood by us. The rest of ATLANTIS liked to play peacemakers or weren't reliable in war. I knew what had to be done. Kalle had the same idea but he was more straightforward. But the pieces were already in place and the discussion to vote on Germanys membership had been started before he even took office.
So for everyone who gave FRONT crap about voting Germany into ATLANTIS, know that icehacker knew this plan. And the "blame" falls on me. The plan was always war. Only a select few knew about this. I put this into motion before I even told my vice president. It's all on me.
But I failed. War never came, if it had played out how I wanted it, we could have conquered Germany as saviours, instead of invaders. Germany would have thanked us for invading them again. That was my plan.
Now you know what kind of president I was. It's up to you if you will allow me to do it again.
EDIT: Here's a classic for those of you who don't really know my past, and those of you who might like a nostalgia flashback. One of my personal favourites in this paper. link or whatever.

Great article, as always 😉
Welcome back! Om jag skulle vara medlem i FBS hade jag röstat på dig 🙂
Awsome! Riktigt bra läsning.
Voted
Str¨lande, detta tar du hem alga! 🙂
Alga for president!
Me vote Algaroth.
Du vinner detta lätt så länge det blir mer krig sen och nu e det ju bara å hoppas på en riktig baby boom så vi kan ta mer än bara Tyskland nästa gång men det verkar inte hända mkt på den fronten än.
alga inte det sämsta valet voted
Don TOB: Målet var en front mot PEACE. Det har vi nu. Jag lär då inte signa fred med dom och så länge kriget är öppet kan vi starta ett krig varje dag om vi vill tills guldet är slut. Samtidigt vill alla vara våra vänner nu när kanske ungern ger sig på våra kärnregioner vilket skulle ge alla en chans att slåss. Till skillnad från tyskland sitter vi faktiskt i en helt fantastiskt position att förhandla internationellt. Diplomati lär bli skitkul nu.
låter ju bra å tar dom å anfaller våra kärnregioner å vi vinner å pushar tillbaka dom å anfaller tex S-H får vi väll behålla våra MMPs eller hur det nu funkar?
Men det e ju helt klart att så länge vi kan få med Polen på våra planer igen med den jätte baby boom dom har fått så borde vi ju kunna ta Tyskland nästa gång osså och till och med behålla det även om vi förlorar hela Tyskland denna gången.
å självklart skall ingen fred skrivas med fiende länder eftersom de kan behövas sen?
Underbart!
PEACE är nog för smarta för att anfalla våra kärnregioner eftersom vi behåller våra MPPs i anfallskrig ända fram till deras egna kärnregioner. Och för ungerns del är det många regioner. Men det vore jävligt kul.
Inte att förglömma, erep är ett spel. Och det är kul så länge man ser det så.
joo det e ju bara dårarna i MSAP som förväxlar spelet med verkligheten när dom e emot det enda som e roligt i detta spel nämligen krigen.
Don TOB: Ord. (word)
+1 Jag kommer att vara FBS när jag kommer hem till Sverige igen!
Algaroth du vet redan vart jag står! 100% vid din sida.
Vet alltid vart jag har dig. Finns alltid en ren kattlåda vid min sida.
Kan det bli bättre? VOTED!
Voted! Äntligen, det här är ju riktigt trevligt!
Algaroth har nog min röst.

Brilliant plan. Allienate half of your alliance for a few weeks of lulz and then don't have the resources to withstand the PEACE attack that you wanted to provoke.
Wohuuu! Jag har saknat dig. Voted! 😘
Du får min röst.
Eugene: We were all tired of being on the sidelines. And honestly, the way I see it is like this: USA are so populist that they impeach their president and waste all their gold whenever it comes to war and pull out. The canadians, honestly, when did they ever have an impact in erep history? UK act like a bunch of babysitters. Wake up. This game is based on wars. Romania, Indonesia and Hungary have constant wars. They have the best salarys and the best social circumstances. How the hell can you blame us for not wanting to be a part of that. Considering how organized our military is, and how loyal we are to our friends, if you were a swedish politician would you not want to see just how powerfull we could become. The only thing we lack is numbers. And the only problem right know is that our population is growing too fast. When you realize that this is a game and your nelson mandela utopia. Maybe then you'll understand. We lost no allies. We only strenghtened our relationships with our true allies. I lent 1000 gold to America in your south american war. America repayed their president with an impeachment. And UK, holy crap. Friends with god damn everyone. If the SG in ATLANTIS had just started the god damn vote on Germanys membership, sweden would not be were it was. And know that I was not even in congress when it fell apart. But the last thing I said in ATLANTIS before I lost access was "hold the god damn vote". Sweden didn't kill ATLANTIS. Shadow did. He's the one who said it was officially dead, and he was the one who did nothing when I asked him to follow the rules he himself had set. Sweden does not need allies. We have brothers in arms.
Excuse the grammar errors. I do my best work drunk. =o)
Algaroth for partypresident. Många starka kandidater med.
+1
Alga är bästa partipresidenten FSB har haft under min korta tid på erep, enligt mig 😁
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
(Well) I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black
🙂
Algorith at the end you failed in foreign politics as all of your presidents before because you
1. have never known what was going on in Germany - even with shoot you never had a real clue
2. you overestimated yourself (well, this is what we have to blame ourself too)
Germany worked hard, fair and reliable to it's allies and friends (from both sides no matter if PEACE or ATLANTIS). That's why and because of a lot of good bilateral relations we could avoid an attack from PEACE while doing relation building with eCanada, eUSA, eUK...
You had your Sweden and your Denmark but become greedy again! Now you have to pay for your epic fail with Germany :/ and as I told you right at the beginging of the war: "wer zu letzt lacht, lacht am besten."
Tar fram pennan och skriver ordet 'Starköl' i pannan på mig själv.
Älskar du mig nu..?
*Sitter i ett hörn och låter som vodka*
Riktigt roligt o se dig bli engagerad igen!
selling q3 weapons....18 SEK each..
Take on me.
Thanks Algaroth. I've been trying to tell people that Germany into ATLANTIS was a Sweden trick all along but no one would believe me 😛
Voted! Du har min röst!
"So what if I backstabbed pretty much all of ATLANTIS. Now we know which allies we can actually depend on. Kroatia, Poland, Romania, Finland and Norway have always stood by us. The rest of ATLANTIS liked to play peacemakers or weren't reliable in war."
The rest of ATLANTIS had honour and dignity. The rest of ATLANTIS don't extend the hand of friendship to follow it with the thrust of a sword.
So this is the anatomy of an epic failed invasion. Just because PEACE didn't invade you had to throw your toys out of the pram and directly invade Germany, destroy ATLANTIS and exhaust your war chest, leaving you vunerable. PEACE must have been laughing their asses off watching this unfold.
What a ridiculous gamble. You had no idea the stakes would come down this more than a month later. Ah well, you have your battles with PEACE now. The funny thing is that not only only did this put Germany on the chopping blocks, but also Canada, America, and the eUK (politically, speaking). Not saying you directly caused all that. This was just one domino that fell in a long chain of events.
