[SC] A new alliance? Yeah, right!
mihail.cazacu
The "secret" negotiations initiated by Poland and Spain with the aim of fooling the USA and Brazil into a "new alliance" are now public knowledge thanks to the articles of the American president, Canadian president, Obersoldat and Chucky Norris.
The main hurdle for the Poles is how to get the USA and Brazil to swallow an alliance with Hungary and Serbia.
Well, so far that was quite easily, really: all it took was not to mention what would happen with Serbia and Hungary once this "Next Alliance Project" would come to life.
So what will happen to them?
Nothing! Poland and Spain will keep having the full set of ONE MPPs, so practically ONE will continue to exist. The only change would be for the Americans and the Brazilians, who will pour their influence into the Spanish and Polish battles.
The American and Brazilian influence given to Spain and Poland would mean Spain and Poland would be able to transfer the same amount of influence to Serbia and Hungary without risking anything. So practically the Americans and Brazilians will fight for Serbia and Hungary without seeing those unsavory two in their own set of MPPs.
So far none of the American or Brazilian negotiators thought of demanding that Poland and Spain drop their MPPs with Serbia and Hungary as a mandatory condition for the "Next Alliance Project".
They swallowed the line
"N.A.P also seeks to reduce the game’s current focus on Balkan-centric conflicts. N.A.P. plans to accomplish this by avoiding the distraction of perpetual wars between intractable rivals, and instead focusing on long-term, highly-strategic campaigns."
without asking even for one secon😛
how would Poland and Spain avoid the distraction of fighting Balkan-centric conflicts when both of them will continue to be allied with Serbia and Hungary?
What could the future bring?
Right now the public opinion in both Brazil and the USA started to see the implications of the ploy.
It might be that the American and Brazilian negotiators will now demand that Poland and Spain drop their MPPs with Serbia and Hungary for as long as they want to be allied with the USA and Brazil.
I expect Poland and Spain to reject the demand for two simple reasons:
1) The ploy was to strengthen ONE by bringing in the USA and Brazil via a circuitous route;
2) Would Poland and Spain ever be that foolish to actually drop their MPPs with Serbia and Hungary, they would simply push the Serbs and the Hungarians into the other camp.
There is no real reason why the Serbs cannot cut a deal with the Croats about how both countries can have fun together by paying visits to Poland and Spain. Likewise, there is no reason why Hungary and Romania would not agree to stop their ping-pong and look for fun elsewhere.
Hungary and Croatia might decide to deal with Spain while Serbia and Romania, using their bases in Central Europe, might want to go north and gang-bang Poland.
The two reasons mentioned above are enough for Spain and Poland to refuse any American and Brazilian demand that they drop their Serbian and Hungarian MPPs as a mandatory condition for forming a "New Alliance".
The only question which needs to be answered is this:
Would the Americans and the Brazilians still go on with befriending Spain and Poland once it becomes clear they will actually end up in the same alliance with the countries they loathe most, Serbia and Hungary?
We'll have a very interesting month ahead of us.

I started this game for that ping pong with Hungary. I`m bored. Why don`t we make an alliance : Serbia , Croatia , Hungary , Romania , Bulgary , Turky and forget aboute our issues in this game? Why don`t we do that?
I know why , it will mean less gold for eRepublik : )).
i trust the Americans
@8-3=1:
Yes, now there's no secret anymore the Americans seem to be outraged at the idea.
We need to see how the outrage of the players will be reflected by the policy of the central government.
I also trust our American friends 🙂
i do not trust myself.
i hope NO MORE TRAITORS are in eREP.... UK, Spain, Poland - are enough.
They are outraged by MPP's with Serbia and Hungary but not Poland and Spain? Lulz. Poland and Spain were their most hated enemies. If they managed to try an alliance with those 2, then believe me they will go all the way.
I understand their need for FUN.
It's not about traitors.
It's about a shift in alliances. And a revamp of the eWorld.
But keeping Serbia an Hungary in their Non-balkanic alliance kinda defeats the purpose of that alliance.
I'm curious about what's gonna happen next.
Interesting indeed. They risk more than they think. Let them go for it.
Laughed.
"There is no real reason why the Serbs cannot cut a deal with the Croats about how both countries can have fun together by paying visits to Poland and Spain. Likewise, there is no reason why Hungary and Romania would not agree to stop their ping-pong and look for fun elsewhere."
You super mad. I have been playing this game for years and I've never seen two countries that hate each other working together. But go on with your senseless propaganda if that's what you want 🙂
Something has to change, the constant ping pong wars are more then boring.
I prefer to read this type of articles here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/the-voice-of-eden-202142/1
@Khebit
There are about 3 months now since I made an account on another MMOG (MIS-E _ read backwards). There are all insane there! Romania is allied with Hungary, Croatia with Serbia, Poland with Germany,etc. It's like they have no idea that they should (sarcasm) hate each other.
It's true that those countries have some RL issues, but I think that every rational player can understand that having a perpetual war in some online game won't settle those issues nor will it be fun.
To those that say it's impossible, just look at what happened between turkey and greece. Everyone said it was impossible they would ever be allies!
When I brought that up about a balkan alliance, people practicly laught at me for saying such a thing. Imo, the US is not heading in a good direction.
this will be fun : )
@Chucky Norris impossible is nothing, but Polish and Serbs are not trustworthy in the game, ever since the beginning 🙂
Former hatred has little to do with alliances in this game. Look at Bulgaria and Macedonia before and now! Look at Turkey and Greece before and now!
Impossible is nothing
