[FR/EN] The Ego battle
Journal_Officiel
English version below
Chers concitoyens,
Nous allons perdre contre Chypre. Ces mots sont difficiles à écrire mais Chypre va bel et bien gagner. Bravo à eux.
Nous avons lancé une attaque aérienne sur la colonie bolivienne chypriote afin d’aider notre allié macédonien et tenter de rendre coûteux pour Chypre son aventure macédonienne.
La tâche n’était néanmoins pas aisée du fait de l’organisation territoriale chypriote où chaque région est susceptible d’être attaquée par différents partenaires de TW.
Notre choix s’est porté sur leur colonie bolivienne qui, si prise, pourrait déranger en partie leur plan. Cet objectif était néanmoins évident et facilement contrôlable mais nous avons fait le choix de tabler sur une erreur de Chypre et ainsi tenter de prendre leur colonie bolivienne.
Ce matin, à notre grande surprise, il était encore possible d’attaquer alors que Chypre aurait pu nous en empêcher. Notre attaque fut suivie d’un NE chilien avec qui nous partageons de nombreuses frontières.
Ainsi, si nous atterrissions, nous serions attaqués par le Chili, pays contre lequel nous ne faisons pas le poids et les chypriotes s'échapperaient eux alors au Chili. Il était néanmoins possible, en retardant notre éventuelle victoire, de poursuivre Chypre au sein du Chili mais avec le Chili à nos trousses! C’était néanmoins plus que ce que nous espérions initialement. Cette option fut envisagée devant l'absence de résistance initiale du peuple chypriote (autrement dit sûrement des problèmes de connexion chez Noname) au premier round avant d’être écarté au vu de son coût conséquent (retarder plusieurs batailles en tapant à l’étranger en sus de la victoire lors de l’AS).
Ainsi la bataille d'aujourd’hui n’avait malheureusement que peu d'intérêt car même en l’emportant Chypre aurait pu s’échapper sauf si nous décidions de nous vider entièrement pour ça. Le jeu n’en valait pas la chandelle. J’ai donc informé immédiatement nos alliés de l’absence d'intérêt stratégique de notre bataille. En effet le seul intérêt d’une victoire aurait été de prévenir une partie des trolls de nos amis chypriotes. Cela aurait coûté cher à nos alliés et au trésor public.
Tout cela nous amène au second round. Le round décisif. Noname vient donc de se réveiller et la foudre s’abat. Tous les rounds passent epics. Nos tanks tapent. Les alliés de Chypre sont présents. Les nôtres pas. Logique nous avons communiqué dans ce sens. Victoire des Chypriotes. Se pose donc la question : Continuer ou ne pas continuer?
Continuer cela veut dire taper dans nos réserves, utiliser le Trésor public et demander au final de l’aide à nos alliés. Tout cela pourquoi? Pour éviter les trolls chypriotes? Éviter les critiques qui arriveront forcément suite à cette défaite? Là non plus le jeu n’en valait pas la chandelle et je me refusais à prendre cette décision pour simplement préserver mon égo.
Vos ebs et le TP valent plus que les shouts et mps de noname que je recois/que je vais recevoir.
Vivres libres... ou pas.
Dear eworld,
Following ecyprus attack on macedonia, we took the decision to AS them to help macedonia and try to disturb Cyprus TWs. However given Cyprus’s geography it was not a small task to do.
Thanks to Chile’s NE (not complaining here, it’s actually part of the game), today’s battle was pretty much useless as Cyprus would have been able to hide in Chile and Chile to kick us out. To be honest, we could have technically run after them by delaying battles but it would have been EBs and time consuming. We ended up deciding against it.
So come today’s battle. Cyprus was not here for the first round. Second round they started fighting. I immediately informed our allies that no help was needed (other than hits) were needed. Indeed, at that time, it was just a battle to protect our ego given our history with Cyprus. Winning or losing it would not change anything as far as achieving our goals.
In France, we believe that being a good ally is not only fighting for your friends and allies but also not calling them just to preserve your ego. That’s our way of playing the game.
Our playstyle seems to be different than Cyprus’s given how much allies fought for them, all of that for a battle which had for only goal to boost Cyprus’ ego. It worked given how happy they are. So congratulations to them and to their allies. I hope it was worth it. You fought hard for a battle that you successfully made useless thanks to a well thought NE and you won it. It must be part of some masterplan to drain damages by having military active countries fighting against a mostly inactive one using his legend bonuses for no gains. High level strategy I guess.
Anyway, we will continue with our way of playing by fighting hard for our friends and only expecting help when really neeeded. Like it or not, that is how we roll.

In before french surrender jokes
and in before "balec"
Ahre
I was ready to vote it man.... but using this elegantly insulting language to show what... you lost me.
Keep playing your way. let us play our way and leave the descriptions from above away of it 😉
ps. Thank you for attacking us to boost our ego but our ego is very high already after having some successful campaigns in the recent past 🙂
attack on Loland wasnt that much successful 😒hrug:
I agree, when was the last time you actually won against someone?
no problem.
last time we kicked chile from spain, few weeks ago
hue? and you?
when was the last time u didnt run from Romania and Serbia? LEL
lel.
LELELELEL
Yeah nobody brags about slapping ePoland around these days, tragic demise of a superpower.
cry
If that is the most insulting thing that you see today on erep then you are lucky 🙂
pointing 1 insult instead of 2 doesn't make the first one not an insult 🙂
Hormonek I haven't said countries or battles 😘
I really fail to see the insulting part of this article but I will take the "elegantly"!
Then read carefully what you wrote... If you still don't get it I will write an article quoting the exact words you used above explaining you
I actually read it again and I still fail to see it. Is the insulting part the fact that I point out that we don't call allies for useless battles (other than for bragging rights which is the sole reason why I fought) while you do?
eFrance o7
I feel offended
We gud, they evil.
Okay, sarcasm aside, I expected this to be a nice, objective article but it clearly isn't because it focuses on the enemies's psihological motivation instead on the objective facts and mutual respect towards your opponents.

I tried to stay as objective as possible. Then from facts you can draw different conclusions which can differ from player to player.
So we are clear here I respect Cyprus for what they have accomplished in the past. Just allow me to think think that what they did today was not the smartest thing (not saying that our AS was smart either) and was not really respectfull for their allies. Then that is just my 2 cents and if for them and their allies it was worth it to fight in an objective useless battle then good 🙂 At the end of the day the goal is to have fun and I had fun.
jesus xd
Butthurt detected.
But it doesn't make sense. Since when Greece was attacking Cyprus and you helped us?
"We couldn't win a country that in less than 24h they spent 242b vs the skopjans and we thought we could easily win them and get all the glory"
We outdamaged you by a lot which is normal as we are the bigger country. The difference was then made by allies. As the battle was useless we asked for no help. You went another road for "glory". Once again two different playstyles.
It does not take away your victory, you wanted it more than us and you got it.
This is funny. You hide behind your finger.
To get facts straight
You expected a totally drained eCyprus, otherwise you would never AS us directly.
As you say in article, you first thoughts were to conquer to our cores and disturb TWS. So no action to help "ally"was taken.
When you noticed that you cant AS our cores you started preparing to fight Chile ( as you shouted yesterday)
eWorld knows that small eCyprus had never the chance to stay in USA if AS to Fyrom was successful. We did it to help eUSA and disturb Romania and Serbia swap regions there.
On the contrary no strategical value had your AS. You expected to win easily the well drained eCy but you failed. Again.
Gn no offence

"You expected to win easily the well drained eCy but you failed. Again."
And let me correct you we are now 1-1.
I'm confused....
Greece didn't attacked from Cyprus for sure.If you mean Fyrom.....i fold.
This article shows the anger of France. No more no less. Yet it is not my business. HF 🙂
And something last.
It's a game, we might lose or win. eFrance has many respected players like Alpha. You don't deserve this kind of articles of self excuse to why this battle was not important.
If just one of you guys had said that this battle is not importnt before it begins, it would be OK.
But publishing this context after shouting all day "tic tac tic tac" and "prepare for epic battle" or searching for airfighters in Discord is childish.
Some of your allies burned EBs, golds and cc for this campaign. At least respect them.
Ask your CP to use one of his multi and he will confirm that on the french national feed that I shouted that it was "for fun more than for anything else so no need to go all in". Shout made 8h ago. If needed i can screen it and you can google translate it. I informed Asteria literally 30 mins after u started fighting that it was useless to fight for us (I added maybe too soon that we were going to beat u 😛)
and who searched for airfighters on discord?
Finally we told allies to not fight. I even pm Ivan to tell him that it was pointless.
La première phrase était pourtant bien. Le reste ça ressemble à chercher des excuses ... c'est plutôt dégradant ... expliquer les choses simplement c'est tellement mieux : stratégiquement parlant, on se l'est prise donc nous n'avions plus d'intérêt à insister si ce n'est gaspiller nos ressources. Il convient de féliciter nos adversaires et de s'incliner sans émoi.
Pour l'Ego tu peux toujours ajouter "Nous reviendrons." Pas besoin de plus.
C'est sur ça que nos amis sont pas d'accords. Ils trouvent que dire qu'on a pas demandé de l'aide à nos alliés car la bataille est inutile est insultant. Sauf que c'est la vérité 🙁
Osef la vérité ... ne rien dire et faire preuve d'humilité n'est pas toujours une tare. Qui plus est c'est souvent plus parlant que ... de parler ...

au vu des coms, ça fait beaucoup de kikoolol au m² cet emonde
kikoo
je ne parlais même pas de toi du tout, biquet
Je suis déçu 🙁 je fais de mon mieux pourtant 😁
justement j'ai trop de respect pour ton travail M. Dudu !
Merci du fond du cœur ! 😊
:coeur:
Dépenser une fortune en AS pour attaquer un mini pays avec 1 ou 2 régions était complétement stupide. Comme d'habitude les petits oligarques gaspillent les impôts des français pour s'offrir un moment de gloire ephémère. Sauf qu'en plus vous trouvez le moyen de perdre.
Faudra que tu m'expliques un jour le raisonnement que t'as eu pour aller à Chypre où la WT est plus élevée qu'en eFrance alors que tu te plains h24 de la WT eFrançaise :3
Les AS coûtent moins cher grâce au peu de MPP que l'on a.
À défaut de gloire éphémère, il s'est plutôt offert une honte éternelle. Sur le dos des français, on est bien d'accord.
Mdrrrr y a probablement plus de multis côté eFrançais qu'en face 😂 joy: joy:
Je vois que tu foires autant tes emoticônes que le vol du TP.
C'est ce qu'on appelle un style d'écriture. Dommage de devoir expliquer ça à qqun que je pensais intelligent.
Ridicule.... quand on lance une bataille pour l'égo, on évite de baisser son froc dès le 2e round.
