[CP] Issues!
Homer J Simpson
I feel I need to address some important issues that don't appear to be getting fixed through other channels.
Battle Orders
We do our best to keep these updated, we also keep MUs informed through group pm's but for one reason or another they just don't seem to be followed. This leads to both our plans, and those of our alliance are jeopardised because we aren't hitting as a united and effective unit.
Tonight I looked through our MU's in game and saw most people still in Spain. This is despite the battle orders clearly showing Sweden's RW as top priority all day and my cabinet shouting to fight for Sweden.
Canada is well known as a selfless ally, one that puts friends and allies first but from what I have seen recently that title is far from deserved. I know that after being occupied for so long people are eager to get our regions back, I completely understand that, but is getting all of our regions back immediately at the cost of our allies really worth it?
Tanking in Battles
Another big issue that I continue to see is people wasting damage in battles. I've shouted, I've added it to the battle orders articles but people just don't seem to give a toss. I continually see our walls at 70-100% while our allies struggle in the same divisions.
If you really HAVE to fight and the wall is high in your division then choose an allied battle that needs the damage.
It's not that hard to understand is it? Really?
If people aren't going to take any notice then we'll just stop wasting time trying to plan things and soon you'll be able to welcome Spain back again.

hard to counter the desire for TP gold Homer.
Once you get the first 10 or 12 they are worth it anymore, long term there are much more important goals
You won't get any argument from me on that point.

Maybe.
they how do you propose we keep them? Since our allies are a MAJOR reason we are winning any battles as is?
They're not the major reason. Don't you pay attention?

Unless I'm really really bored I only log on once a day and don't have a lot of time to research where to click and I'm entirely out of touch with things in general so it would probably just confuse me - these things may not be as obvious as President Homey thinks.
research? you can click a button and go to exactly where you're told
I usually just see outdated orders - the gameprobably looks a lot different when you don't follow it hour by hour - but whatever, just getting pissy should fix everything
eSpain is putting up little resistance in the eCan RW's, we can reclaim our country quickly AND support our allies if we mind that influence bar.
We could have but people were wasting plenty of damage in our RWs while our allies struggled. In the end we both lost out.
The fact is that without everyone, and I mean everyone, singing from the same page we just aren't big enough to split our damage. I don't think people realise just how much external support we've needed to win the battles we have
Some of us noobs simply can't afford to be galloping all over the world. I see the orders and would love to help but at this point if it involves spending currency I don't have... well you know the rest.
Being able to fight in RWs all over the world without moving though kicks ass!
It's generally considered ok for low div players to hunt TP gold, the longterm benefit of you getting the gold to upgrade your training ground is huge.
This article is probably aimed more at div3-4 players
I completely understand that moving costs can be an issue but this is where your MU should be helping out. You should have senior members you can ask for assistance. If all else fails try shouting for help in your friends and/or MU feed.
Virtualzero's right. Even us senior members can't afford the moving costs when our production bonuses are nearly zero, prices are in the toilet and the CAF hasn't been funded in months.
I moved to whatever country Sweden was fighting, fought, then moved right back to Spain so I could see what Spain was doing. I like watching Spain loose.

When you are moving you dont need to move to Finland to fight for Finland, just move to a Canadian region and fight for the ally. Same goes with Sweden. That saves you 20CAD each way, 40CAD round trip or 5 or 6 Q7 tanks... be smart with your money
This is so true, I have been moving back and forth between Spain and Greece for over a month now, find an ally nearest the region you are in and move there, if you need help ask just ask

Strength and Honour
^ oddly relevant, our combined strength helped us get regions back, and now the honourable thing to do is return the favour to our allies. Nice to see a Brit so highly praising Asgard
I'm not a Brit no more and I do not not like Asgard
This is just his lazy comment on every article he reads

I usually do follow battle orders but there has been the odd occaision where I've jumped into a RW rather than assist an ally simply because of the money situation. Example would be the other day I was only 80k from a TP medal with 10 Q7 s and the last of my food. That TP medal gave me the cash needed to fund prpbably my next 500k+ towards allied wars. And when you play odd ass hours as I do its hard to actually find anyone online to get tickets or supplies from. I do understand the goals just saying at times its not personally feasable for some. o7
"If people aren't going to take any notice then we'll just stop wasting time trying to plan things and soon you'll be able to welcome Spain back again."
I think part of it also is a lot of people just don't pay much attention to the media. One of those times you wish the old ad module was still around. Not sure why they 86ed it, it was a good gold suck for them.
All MU's are informed through our group pm's as well so the information should be getting passed on to their members.
You really shouldn't say all I have never gotten a private message containing orders, or information from my MU
All MU's are informed. If you aren't getting the information then that is something your MU needs to fix
Even if they publish articles or put it in the feed, not everybody is going to see it. Doing it by PM is way too tedious and still no guarantee people read it before they fight. Obviously it's better for all of us if people follow orders but threatening to stop trying isn't going to change it IMO.
Fair call. I suppose that statement was coming on a bit strong. It was just a little frustration venting.

Yes.
If they were good allies we wouldn't be lacking a country the majority of the time. Canada first.
The reason we are lacking a country most of the time recently is because of the imbalance in the alliance situation. Without becoming a lap dog for a couple of larger countries by joining one of the two big alliances, smaller countries like us will continue to be the target of stronger countries who prefer to play the bully than to take on someone their own size.
Yeah, unfortunately when Poland, Hungary et al throw their weight behind Spain in our NE battles they become unwinnable.
The problem with people hitting high walls, is the same as the MUs not staying coordinated and on target.
People won't move and fight for Sweden in the 10-15 minutes they play this game when their DO's are set to a Canadian RW. They just want their free energy bar and to log off. They won't wait 40 minutes for the next round because they simply don't care, and they won't move and fight because they don't get a bazooka and an energy bar for it.
Canada, you really are selfless ally!
