[CP] War with Belgium - Oorlog met België
Het Catshuis
[Nederlandse versie hieronder]
Dear fellow citizens,
Soon we will engage in a short war with Belgium. Because we're the hero Belgium needs right now, in order to prevent a terrorist organization to gain seats in their congress. This is an important reminder to every would-be congress member to be extremely strict when it comes to providing citizenship to foreigners.
In short, we will attack and capture Flanders and Wallonia for a period of around three days. After that, we will make peace. There will be no need for citizens to spend extraordinary amounts on these battles, save your bazooka's and energy bars for our battles with Poland.
One love,
Garmr

Beste medeburgers,
Binnenkort zullen we een korte oorlog met België voeren. We zijn hun redder in nood, en voorkomen door deze actie dat een terroristische organisatie zetels in hun parlement kan bemachtigen. Dit is dus ook een goed voorbeeld voor eenieder die ooit een parlementszetel verkrijgt dat je extreem streng moet zijn in de uitgifte van burgerschap aan buitenlanders.
Concreet betekend dit dat we Vlaanderen en Wallonië aanvallen en veroveren voor een periode van drie dagen. Hierna sluiten we weer vrede. Er is geen reden voor burgers om veel uit te geven in deze oorlog, en ik zou willen aandringen om alle bazooka's en energy bars te bewaren voor onze oorlog met Polen.
One love,
Garmr

To our precious 'noobs', use the NE to finish some quests 😉

okay
Oooo, this is delicious. Only a few months ago, we invaded Belgium for the same reason (http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-cp-belgium-as-our-natural-enemy-en-nl--2018421/1/20). Of course, we had another CP then. I remember Luuklag creating a lot of fuss about it, saying that we shouldn't help the Belgians. He even created a debate about it (http://enetherlands.nl/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=10066), where our current CP, Garmr, basically said that the Belgians could go -beep- themselves. 😁
It wasn't a I&W CP back then. Now it is. That makes a big difference!
Politicians are good actors, especially those from I&W, or from populist parties.
If they're in charge, they say one thing, but if they're not in charge and someone else says that same thing, they denounce it.
Live of most eNL'ers: Use everything you see for trolling ;- )
This is bullsh*t, let belgians fend for themselves. Or why don't they ask their friends in one for help?
This time it is a win-win situation if we do it and there are still enough friends of NL in Belgium. Don't see an issue in this yet.
I don't see the issue either. Let's help them! But still it's fun to read back the comments of Luuklag (now MoFA) and Garmr (now CP).
Next month if there are others then it is fun to read the comments of people here ;- ) There will always be some people in the opposition who question each action, like is done now also. No problem in my opinion, but please keep it nice always! Probably that isn't going to happen only, based on the experience of the previous 4 years with govs : P
Where were they when we asked them to take our regions to defend ourselves against the polish? I see no reason to bend our backs for the people who do not want to take it for us once in a while.
1. Goeie beslissing van Garmr! Niemand is te oud om te leren.
2. Ik mis een huilende Luuklag, die als een hysterisch wijf tekeergaat tegen deze beslissing. Is onze CP zo verstandig geweest hem op te sluiten, zodat deze deal door kon gaan?
Nogmaals, hulde aan de CP, gezond verstand heeft overwonnen!
Oh yeah right because everything is exactly the same right now! Do you noobs even know how to play this game? I do however understand that you regard your own debating skills of such extreme poor quality which would render a change of view on our part as impossible. That is, I must say, the only correct assumption in this whole list of replies. The previous move was done for a very different reason that mine. Theirs was to lick sweaty Belgian ass 'because diplomatic relations'.
NEWSFLASH: Diplomatic relations mean jack fucking shit.
I did it because it will net us about 200.000 CC on taxes. Taxes we need, because we got occupied again. The previous time, we were fully on the map without economical pressure.
But everything is still the same right? Lol let's all jump on Garmr's ass because he did something1!!1!
Get on my level noobs.
Garmr, show some respect please. And economical pressure cannot be a reason as we have more than 3 mil CC at the moment.
And if the timing is right, eNL gets an extra region to run CMs in.
Why should I be the one to show respect if it is obviously not given? Respect is something you earn, not demand.
Still a good decision Garmr, to help our neighbors!
Garmr, because some ask it respectfully, you are talking to them also 😉
There was a smily behind it, so ;- )
Garmr, I for one agree with this decision. But it's a shame you misinterpeted what happened 2 months ago, it was done then because we don't need eBelgium to be PTOed, the better relations was just a bonus, needed after the actions of your party member Auggy.
There's no need for such faul language in the debate imo, it won't bring you your wanted respect.
And for the record; I agree with you that one can change his mind, we wouldn't have much progress without it.
Zucht... Wat een kontendraaierij... Een DemNL-president (ondergetekende) helpt de Belgen en het is een schande, en nu I&W zelf een president heeft geleverd, is het opeens clean.
Ik ga er geen woorden aan vuil maken, gewoon: zucht. Dat voldoet.
I agree with Garmr, respect needs to be earned however that goes 2 ways...
See you on the battlefield dutch boys 🙂!
eBe doesn't need to get rid of regions, just shameless propaganda of dutch imperialists!
NLSP, everyone knows you will do anything to troll against NL, even at the cost of your country.
osxy, you have no idea about the situation in eBe so I suggest you eat a piece of cheese and drink a glas of buttermilk instead of commenting here ...
@Garmr: How could a simple and humble citizen like myself have ever distilled this: "The previous move was done for a very different reason that mine. Theirs was to lick sweaty Belgian ass 'because diplomatic relations'. ... I did it because it will net us about 200.000 CC on taxes." from this: "Soon we will engage in a short war with Belgium. Because we're the hero Belgium needs right now, in order to prevent a terrorist organization to gain seats in their congress."?
Do you have any idea of how communication works? And now you, in your righteous anger, berate all people who question your motives, which you failed to make abundantly clear, of an utter lack of respect for your exalted persona. The economic motive, by the way, seems to me to be quite self-deluding, as ElGorro pointed out above.
As I was the one who started all this mess, I guess you accuse me of questionable debating skills and a refusal to accept that people can change their mind. All I saw when I read this article for the first time was a government of which the two people supposedly most involved with this decision, the CP and the MoFA, were the most ardent critcasters of the same decision for apparently the same reasons a few months ago.
Then - because of a lack of empathy, perhaps? - you broke out into a veritable tantrum against any and all people who criticized the blatant hypocrisy of this decision. I can only agree that respect is something you earn, and I am sad to see that you don't exactly believe your own words in this matter.
By the way, I support this decision, but not your reason for taking it. You should take Mattio for an example, who, in spite of mordant opposition to his decision, countered all comments in a respectful manner. That is how I like my leaders to behave, not like you, insulting people and generally acting butthurt because of your own failure to properly communicate.
As one of the newbie Dutch citizens, I would like to make a remark about this matter too. First of all, I had to look up the various abbreviations used which are used in the comments, like: MoFA, CP, CM, PTOed etc. Second, I do not know any of the disputes that were going on before I joined, so I am not hindered by historical knowledge. These things combined make me the perfect 'noob'
And as this perfect noob, I do not dare question the validity of our governments decisions. However, I do consider the language used by Garmr downright CP (yes, Country President) unworthy. You are our leader, act like it!!
And broersje, where did you learn to write such impeccable English? Wow!
@Oma.beatle: I guess I'm good at languages. In addition, reading and writing English is really fun to do, so I do it a lot. 😁
Gaap. het eeuwige saaie heen en weer gespetter van onzin.
Garmr, laat ze aub lullen als ze je flamen, ga erboven staan!!
@Oma.beatle. If I tell you broersje learned it from me you would never believe that, en terecht.
In the end eNL will safe the day..................... again....
Broersje reported for spam. In all seriousness though, you do make some wrong assumptions. My response was not for every single comment here, and addressing multiple comments. Secondly, it is quite the Grecian thinking to justify that because we do have money, we should not have to care about a higher expense than income on a monthly basis.
Oh, and at least I've never complained about things I agree with. It seems quite peculiar, to say the least.
I don't really complain about the decision. I was complaining about an image of hypocrisy and your reaction to a quite normal reaction on the basis of the available information. 😁
