Did Kravenn lie to congress ???
Master Lobban Le Rub Klitoris
8 days ago congress was talking about NEing Norway. Kravenn gave the excuse that we should not invade Norway as it could start a war with Russia which would lead to a TWO vs CoT world war.
Kravenn----"A war between TWO and CoT is sadly possible, It depends from what will happen in Eden. On these moments, we (TWO) are allied with CoT but almost every player who have more than 6 months in Erepublik know that erepublik is bipolar.
Currently : it is TWO + CoT vs Eden, the day where Eden falls their members begin to join TWO and CoT : we will have a war TWO vs CoT
Some months ago, Russia was in an hostile alliance or at least hostile to UK. Now, they moved to a proCoT status (they aren't trial member) but they have no MPP with TWO countries. BG is clearly behind that move. Now if you want to play rogue, and have some fun, You can try to have something with Russia but they can be nice but not always. If it is to have 1 week of fun, be wiped during 6 months, and provoke a war TWO vs CoT : it is clearly the most stupid idea ever."
He went on to say that "Consider to lose 4 CoT MPP and provoke a war TWO vs CoT and a big huge one who could be a World one.
What do you explain ? We wanted fun and provoked a world war, result was that we were wiped during 6 months.
Bulgaria is behind Russia and you can be sure that having war with Russia will destroy every link that UK has with CoT
Diplomatic consequences are huge"
However 3 days after this Poland NE'd Russia themselves which makes me wonder, why did Kravenn try to scare us that by invading Norway we would start a war with Russia and ruin TWO / CoT relations?
Kravenn's response to this question was that "it was down to a cabinet agreement with the Nordliks".
So does this mean that Kravenn intentionally tried to scare congress by knowingly lying to them? Why could he not just say that there was a agreement straight up instead of misleading Congress? I asked Kravenn this in a pm but he has yet to respond to my query.
p.s. this is directed only at this person and is not a attack on anything or anyone else, I just want answers. Also people should understand that yes the excuse Kravenn told congress is a valid one but apparently it was not the main reason for not attacking Norway (which he could have easily told us )

I think this explains it all: erepublik.com/en/article/2226346
indubitably
" intentionally tried to scare congress by knowingly lying to them?"
Wouldn't be the first person to do it if true, I doubt the last.
Good controversy article, cheers
"every player who have more than 6 months in Erepublik know that erepublik is bipolar"...
lol, that's cause every player who has more than 6 months in Erepublik is bipolar...
Kraveen hardly ever lies. Tbh, starting a new war when your allies need help is not the best way to benefit the alliance you are in.
Moreover, the UK has not got power enough to face the possible consequences of a Russian attack, if it had been produced. They are now being attacked by Poland, but in the long term nothing good would have come out for you.
I fully understand this however it still does not mean that he can tell congress one thing while all along it is because of a entirely different reason that he did not want us to NE Norway
underscore Hardly?
Where's the lie? I can see an opinion piece. I can see rumination and conjecture... but no lies. What I CAN see, is a lot of scaremongering, mudslinging and empty populist rhetoric, in YOUR article, in the hope of generating controversy and thus publicity...
notice the question marks in the title. I would just like to know why it would appear he told congress when thing while it was because there was a agreement with Norway that he did not want us to attack, which he could have told us before and everyone would have understood and the debate would have ended sooner.
Kravenn has lied since I joined the game to cover TUP and the inner circle of players like, Talon, Keers, Moir etc.
You don't get 37 Congress medals from being honest trust me 😉
You should also know depending on which CP wins, if they don't support you they run off to their little buddies in TWO command ie Mininuns and make sure the UK gets no action for that month.
I raised above it lucky, but many many others will have the same problem. I see it now, I think BAE has been forced to go Ireland. Laughable, I feel for you BAE, I really do.

I agree with you on something: sometimes you can only fight fire with fire or ... water.
No he didn't... I hardly think you'll prove Kravenn a liar by trying to talk about something you know nothing about.
He's got 37 congress medals because he's popular with PPs as he bothers to try and explain stuff to others.

... erm ... ... what?
Dont you have real things to write about?
lol, I guess not... erepublik gives me so little to write about these days
haha fair answer!
More lies this person is well known for it and trouble making, they should'nt hold that position again if it is true.

I was paraphrasing Kravenn when I used the word Nordliks
i was paraphrasin goku wen i used the word cheat
Kravenn is not acceptable for representing eUK, I know that long ago.
Te equivocas. No he visto tío más dedicado a hacer todo lo mejor para el Reino Unido.
¡Qué raro que haya sido BA el que te haya dado un like! No te dejes manipular.
Kravenn es muy sectario, y politiza o personaliza lo que es algo de estado, Ba no me manipula , de.hecho le he dado caña en algun articulo.
Yo tengo una opinión sobre él bien distinta, será porque he trabajado con él.
interesting points, we should wait for a proper response from kravenn to make our minds up
ha, I think he is just going to ignore the whole thing and let it disappear from memory. However I do not forget and I will not be naively trusting him from now on
read the comments and I think Kravenn comes out rather well. You obviously either don't understand what you are talking about, or are playing dumb to make Kravenn look bad.
Lesson learnt, hopefully by posting this article others will learn too. And of course this lesson isn't just applicable to Kravenn.
biased piece is biased
Kravenn didn't lie to you. WE cannot attack Norway/Russia without being wasted. Poland CAN do so and whether the international displeasure. Why? Because the TWO/CoT need Poland more than they need, say, us.
Actually, this entire pointless feud reveals your ignorance of large scale foreign affairs, in particular alliance strategies.
Besides, I thought you were roleplaying? If so, I suggest you learn the character you seek to be before acting in a way he would not.
@ Alphabethis: Kravenn is more respected internationally than than you are within your own party...
Frankly speaking, I'm respected everywhere (including in Real Life), why? Obvious reasons. Kravenns is not, obvious reasons TOO.
I don't respect you. And I'm afraid find it hard to believe other people would.
being respected includes not being well seen by those that are unworthy.
lol, I did not think I would strike so deep into TUP with this piece. I hear a lot of his party members trying to rationalize his actions
Do you actually read what I write or do you just like to say your piece then leave? As I have said many times over, I do not dispute the fact that NEing Norway would have upset Russia and might have started a war with them. What my article is about is that Kravenn gave us the wrong 'real' reason for why he did not want congress to NE Norway. Though I understand that you were not in that discussion group and so you cannot fully appreciate the way it came about.
Bohemond I ask that you properly read what I write before you start insulting people. If I was not Maximus Decimus.Meridius then I may have returned in kind
I see no lies. I see the plain truth. why? Because the entire s***fest Poland has created could lead to a the global war Kravenn warned of...
and we could have started it had we attacked Norway. As it stands, having a border with Russia means we stand a risk of being wiped as the weak chink in TWO. At the end of the day, this is not a lie. This is/was the truth at the time. Besides, if Poland had been planning on invading Russia with full Kravenn knowledge, we could have taken the chance to invade Norway knowing we would be safer, especially once Russia passed their NE proposal.
Has it occurred to you that Kravenn was unaware at the time of Polands plan? Or that Kravenn was not at liberty to discuss the invasion and that this is true, but maybe not every single fact that was around the subject?
I am not trying to insult you any more than you are seeking to defame Kravenn.
Also, I am responding as an interdependent, concerned citizen and not a TUP member in this capacity with regards to your defamation. I am merely sick and tired of everyone constantly attacking Kravenn who has done a heck of a lot more for the UK than they have.
Once again I feel the need to say that this article is not about Russia or a CoT vs TWO war or anything which you above mentioned.
Since you bring up that Kravenn might not have known about the invasion of Russia I will comment on it. If it is true then I will find it deeply disturbing that such a high ranking official such as Kravenn was unaware of the massive campaign Poland (TWO) was about to unleash, when it was only 3 days from being launched.
My intention is not to defame Kravenn or anyone/anything else. My goal is simple, bring this to the attention of the people and make of it what they will and hope (though unlikely) that Kravenn will provide a explanation. I just wanted an answer and was trying to do it privately through pm but Kravenn would not respond and Mr.Woldy told me to take my quest somewhere besides the congress discussion group, which I have done
Poland does not equal TWO...
where, exactly, did Kravenn lie. That my question. You have merely proved that he withheld, maybe, some facts...not that he lied. And I can answer why one would withhold facts: secrecy. Plus, Congress is renowned for leaks..
I see the bare facts. Nothing in Kravenn's message is a lie. we could have caused a war. Heck, Poland might now cause it...
Do you think Poland share all their plans with everyone? No.
No government would be so stupid.
my response to that is under Douglas's comment. If you read through everything you might have saved us both some time, though I doubt time is to pressing since we are on here...
point being, not a lie. This is most definetly a TRUE statement by Kravenn. Everything Kravenn told you is true. And of course is a good reason as any not to attack Norway, and may have been his actual reasons to not attack Norway...
ever considered this is the actual truth?
also, Kravenn may very well have been informed to secrecy due to the sensitive planning nature of an attack on Russia
sorry Bohemond but it kind of feels like I;m talking to a brick wall. We are not arguing the same issues.
I feel the same way tbh,,,probably because I don't see any wrong doing whereas you see a heck of a lot for some reason

Interesting. My REAL question is, where're the gallows being set up?
I have one set up in my base camp in Germanica, sadly I'm in Rome fighting for my live in the Coliseum
Innocent until proven guilty?
meh, even if Kravenn is innocent, the masses demand blood.
