The Fall of Canterbury
Leseyk Hydros
In a stunning move, the New Zealand hub of Canterbury has fallen to the clutches of Croatia.
This lovely zone is the home of several proud New Zealanders, and its loss is deeply felt.
The capital of our dear nation, Otago, is next on the Croatian chopping block.
Where is our president, Vatrogasac Draza?
Where is our leading party - the Socialist Party of New Zealand - taking us?
Why have they allowed this loss to happen?
How has their leadership brought us to this?
Our Minister of Defense, a very important position in a time like this, is no other than Vatrogasac Draza, our same President. Is this man’s presidency really what’s best for New Zealand? Does the Socialist Party actually look out for our homeland, or are their interests elsewhere? Take a look at the results and find out for yourselves!
Each of us must write to our ruling body, congress, president, and each cabinet member since they clearly aren’t making their intentions known.

I lost my home today. It's rather jarring. I have no answers. That's also jarring.
I haven't read a lot of nonsense in one article in the last ten years since I played erepublik.
Do you know what determination is?
Do you know what training war is?
Did you know that NZ, with twenty active players, holds 5 training wars?
Do you know it costs money?
Why are you voting against paying for training wars?
Why are you writing about something you have no idea about?
You criticize the President and the party without which the NZ would be occupied without training wars.
Shame on you.
One of your points needs another slight correction.
"Why are you voting against paying for training wars?"
The author of this article actually voted Yes on both of them. Something anyone can look up and see, but I guess you made the choice to ignore.

These higher things you speak of are too lofty for me right now, as I cannot see past the fact that I lost my home. Even the most enlightened of men cannot see past losing his home.
The fact that I lost my home suggests the battle was not "training." Maybe I'm ignorant on that point, and maybe you can enlighten me, but understand that a man is never that enlightened when his home is occupied by foreign powers, so maybe start my education by getting it back--what is your plan for getting it back? There is nothing else that matters to me until that is accomplished, and I will heartily vote down every proposal I do not believe will get me my home back until my home is restored to me and my displaced neighbors.
Maybe if you spent a little more time bringing freshmen congressmen up to speed on the issues you believe important, you might earn their votes. Maybe, on matters of budget (as all matters involving money ultimately are matters of budget as far as congress is concerned), if you provide statements, balance sheets, profit/loss statements, and the like to the whole assembly of congress (whatever of those you have, anyway), the transparency will cultivate trust, and that trust will be verified by showing where every bit of public funds is coming from, going to, and records that confirm it has indeed come or gone wherever the budget indicates it should have.
The political party "Kiwi Yonks Party" is an ordinary farm of multi-orders - bots. Of the 12 members, 6 joined 8/9. September. Eight new players have not registered in the last 5 years from New Zealand.
Explaining the rules of the game to the bot farm owner and reporting to him would be foolish.

This is ridiculous, all ten joined in September, all the same military unit and political party.
This is a job for the Plato game administrator.
You know how to make bots and you obviously don't know the rules of the game.
Yes, we are bots. I am Optimus Prime. And good lord, a community of players picked a game and joined at the same time. Oh no! They must be bots, sound the alarms. Cause these bots post on the forums, write articles and do non-bot things!
Probably you are, it is the job of the administrator to determine.
Hey DOBRSSbanovani
Akane here from Japan. I can assure you, that these are in fact not multis. I know most of the players here from other games that I am playing with them for some time and as they have told you: You are free to join the discord and get to know them better. In fact, they would like that, as they like to talk to others. Especially so when it's fellow NZ players such as yourself.
So go feel free to report them to Plato as they have absolutely nothing to fear.
Hurrah! My profile has been mentioned! Yes ... I remember that day when I told this amazing group of people about eRepublik and invited everyone to play together. I've known them for over 4 years, we've been playing another game together and since that game is dying, I wanted to save the community and keep playing with them.
So I started googling, checking the game listings, and came across eRepublik. I proposed it along with other options, and we finally decided to start here. So yes, most of us started that same day, but others took longer. During the first few days, we also learned that some members of our community had also played eRepublik before and we insisted that they migrate to NZ, where we started, so that we could all play together again. Some had to wait at the damned migration gate for weeks, since no one accepted them, because obviously the government of this country is damn paranoid. Others, seeing this situation, preferred to stay in their countries for the time being. And I'm not criticizing them, maybe they did the right thing.
Any new player, who is looking at all possible wiki, to understand and learn the best possible about the game, would like experienced players to help them advance, but on the contrary, in eNZ what happens is that experienced players ignore you and they judge you as multi-account. And that only results in the miserable situation of the country, and the little activity that there is.
Ive personally sent friend requests, attempting to make a connection with the people, and many were rejected. As far as im concerned, the current people in charge are responsible for reaching out to the newborns and help them grow.. not the newborns that barely understand the game, taking the step forward and doing all the job. But the truth is, that the current people in charge, are probably not doing anything at all to help the newborns, but instead, they are doing everything they can to protect and safe-guard their inner circle and power.
If all the evidence you have to determine that we are multi-accounts is that our characters began to play on similar dates ... evidently, in your life you did not have something called "friend", and you are so lonely entities that you make me sad.
Additionally, I would like to add that prior to having our own MU and Political Party, we were part of another local MU, which did not even communicate with us to explain why the daily battles were miles away, forcing us to burn our Q5 Ticket when we barely just started to play. Obviously, assuming that new players understand EVERYTHING that is happening was your biggest mistake. Put yourself in our shoes, start playing a new game, and say no one who plays in the area says a word to you, except the friends you started with ... wouldn't you make your own MU?
In the end, you can say whatever you want about us the newplayers, but you, the experienced ones acting so noobish .. clearly shows how unprepared you were to lead a country. Sad ...
Yes, it is their job, but keep randomly accusing people you don't know of being such. And as I am pushing 3 months in 18 days, I guess they already did do their job. Your numbers are also off. We have like 12 in our party and military unit. Was supposed to be more, but some of the others were not feeling eRepublik and others ended up in China and Japan. Even the US. Boo to them I say.
It is rather simple. If the leading party doesn't want to communicate with anyone and run wild on their own, so be it. A new group showed up, we picked NZ cause of some of our players being actual Kiwi, and for the small population.
Of which we assumed would be warm and welcoming and help teach things. Sadly, that hasn't been the case. We have been learning from other friends in other nations. Who has explained most of what you make a claim that we don't understand. But hey, assuming things cause you don't talk to others and get mad when someone makes a post that goes against how you see things or understand them. Your choice.
So continue to assume what you want. As I said, it is your choice and the ruling parties' choice to play within their small community and ignore everyone else, we will accept that and we will continue on our path. Sadly as we enjoy communication, interaction and don't get any unless we create it, we likely will be butting heads internally more often than not.
You are welcome to join us on discord, but I understand your community uses an old iirc chat system, but the offer is out there as it was made to all in New Zealand.
Now I need more oil errr coffeee

1. The accusation and provocation started on your part with the publication of this shameful and idiotic text.
2. Arguments are given for the suspicion that you are a bot farm - the truth will be determined by the administrator.
3. I would not comment on this nonsense about the ruling party going wild and not communicating. That should be asked of the other parties. The only ones who go wild here, steal medals from other players from NZ, fight against orders and write nonsense because they don't understand the basic rules of the game are you. The president of the NZ and the strongest party are trying to secure training wars, which is not easy at all.
4. If you wanted normal communication, explanations and advice, you should have contacted one of us in the most normal way.
5. Until the administrator checks if you are a bot farm I would not take up your time anymore.
1. The accusation and provocation started on your part with the publication of this shameful and idiotic text.
---This is a game that allows people to write news articles. You didn't like what was written and decided to come out swinging and accuse people of cheating. So you can see your side and continue on that hill friend. ----
2. Arguments are given for the suspicion that you are a bot farm - the truth will be determined by the administrator.
----Yes, and when they come back with nothing, I will see how they handle players running around accusing people falsely of such things just because they didn't like something written, which is part of the game, nor seems to follow your views. Since you are simply attempting to intimidate people with such threats and accusations. ----
3. I would not comment on this nonsense about the ruling party going wild and not communicating. That should be asked of the other parties.

The president of the NZ and the strongest party are trying to secure training wars, which is not easy at all.
----Did anyone from the ruling party write any of us? Not me, I can ask the others in discord...oh I see. Because you are in charge in NZ everyone else must clearly reach out to you guys and seek help, answer questions yadda yadda. Once again, you are upset that we didn't bow down and play by your views. As for stealing medals? I'm sorry, isn't this a game about war. How is it we are stealing things by taking part in aspects of the game? It more sounds like you want anyone not part of your community gone from NZ. And I'm not sure, so far I've found it pretty easy finding friends and allies outside of NZ. But I do understand that there is some ancient history between some groups that might cause issues. ----
4. If you wanted normal communication, explanations, and advice, you should have contacted one of us in the most normal way.
----Once again, if you want to come and play "our game, you come to us. We don't come to you" is how this comes off. Well, thanks, but we learned after a month here that you won't talk...well that isn't correct now is it? You didn't like what was written here and so became vocal. Even when you displayed your own lack of knowledge on things. It is okay, don't worry about us. As mentioned, we have made some wonderful friends. Have a discord and get helpful information from them. ----
5. Until the administrator checks if you are a bot farm I would not take up your time anymore.
----Yes, please stop taking up more of our time. You have accused, cried, and made it clear you don't like others playing in your slice of the world. So go and play the game as you feel, will do the same. ----
you talk nonsense .. regions get lost and come back depending on the wars and the situation. a lot of time and money was invested to keep NEW ZEALAND on the map .. So it would be better not to talk nonsense because you do not understand how the game works .. if it were not for us a couple of players in recent years New Zealand would have been deleted .. So you and your BOTS you will be logged in Plato
Really a lot of gossip and nonsense from a beginner who plays a full 43 days has 600 strength. We are ten years old, we spend RL money and we try to keep the community alive. There are currently 6 wars going on, and since you don't contribute anything useful in those wars, you philosophize and get tired of nonsense.
Your level of culture in communication is absolute zero, when you come to a new society, you greet, introduce yourself, ask what is not clear to you, ask for help. And leave the insult and provocation to your parents.
you are right .. instead of asking for help to strengthen and play .. they attack us who have kept new zealand alive .. and they don't know how things stand and how they work ..
Lovely, respectful discourse happening here, glad I wrote this.
Real proud of the way everyone’s been acting. Bravo, one and all. Makes me thrilled to be a New Zealander because of how nice everyone’s been playing.
But hey, at least this article got ya’ll to come out of the woodwork and say something for once.
If this is how these people welcome new citizens, I have no doubt why eNZ is in these conditions.
Toxicity drips from them. To the point where they were unable to contact us since we started playing, but the first time a newspaper makes an article that is not convenient for them, they jump to the verbal attack and to disqualify us.
Honestly, after seeing how they acted today, I think they are despicable and rude people. Good luck in your sad eLife.
Shoot more with bots, write less nonsense. Here are three wars, all the first divisions are empty.
Which ones are real wars and which ones are training wars?
Right now all wars are training, we don’t have the strength for real wars. He who wins the battle today loses it tomorrow and so on all the time.
It is enough to follow who has won all the points in the war and based on that you orient yourself.
When you enter the battle you have the option "history of war" there you see who won the previous time
I'm not rude .. but I don't like to be attacked and you don't understand how things stand .. These are all training wars because we don't have enough players for a serious war and they would be deleted from the map and I wouldn't exist in the game ..
secondly, we also hold 3 regions that do not belong to us ... So it doesn't matter which of our regions is not with us, these things are current and change over time.
if you need some help you can get ... and everything else will not be supported
Well, you were a bit rude calling us bots and reporting us. We also weren’t being kind by calling you folks quiet and writing this article.
I am glad we finally got to have some chats.
Biggest problem is that because we didn’t know any better, most of us had buildings and residences in Canterbury, which we can’t access/work in anymore while Croatia has it.
if it's a problem I'll try to turn Canterbury back and Otago to give it to them .. I'll see if it can be done .. But I need a few days if it can be done .. I'll see if I solve your problem from the work of the company
If it involves diplomacy and could cause deeper issues for NZ, don't worry about it. We will adapt as best we can, some might just join others in another nation. Everything is a learning process.
But as we are having a nice dialogue I think it is only fair to point out, a few of us are Roleplayers. News Articles are the primary way for us to do such in this game. So you will see articles like this or a fluff piece or some random other things. Just like you would in the real world.
We typically as a group doesn't simply go around insulting people we don't know, but we will reach out in ways that seem odd. This article yes attacked the government of NZ, and honestly, as an RPer, it was great and would have been super badass if a government official made an "official statement"
Yet, you didn't know that about us, so why would you play along. But when you see articles from us, 100% of the time it is just us having fun with an aspect of the game. 10% of the time highlighting things we don't fully understand and thus write it and go and ask one of our friends in another nation.
In essence, something that was for fun was taken as a personal attack of the people behind the screen, when it wasn't and thus triggered everyone to defend each other's friends. Which is clearly a common bond.
It also has been pointed out that it is rare new players join, let alone form a Political party right out the gate in under 30 days let alone a MU. That is on us for being odd ducks and having a plan and sticking to it, which didn't involve trying to take over NZ. We know our knowledge lacks, and thus we wouldn't do it properly.
