We Lost Volga [President's Statement]
AnBasement
Today was a day of mixed feelings for us eNorwegians. After securing Urals Region, we lost Volga Region. Volga was the only region we had with HIGH Grain. Luckily, we secured Urals Region, a great region that has a great tactical placement.
I will not take all of the blame for loosing Volga. I will take some of it. I was foolish. I assumed that we already had it secured. This was based on intel saying that this was not a PEACE attack, but merely renegade Russians trying to free a region. Turns out this intel was false, and that we were left with one less region in eNorway.
A lot of you might be asking how in the world this could happen. We, such a strong country with such strong allies, how could we possibly loose it? The explanation is simple.
Even though we, meaning me, KristofferAG, President of eNorway, and bjelland, Minister of Defence of eNorway, did all we could, it was not enough. Real life issues pulled me away from eRepublik for almost two hours from 17:30 GMT +1. I lost the ending of the Volga war. This left bjelland alone, as our CiC, bohlamon, had to hand over the charge for personal reasons.
I admit. I screwed up. I should not take to easily on these things. I appologize if I let you down, and I will not let it happen again.
Thanks
KristofferAG
President of eNorway

A president with honour. Not like ours...
NO WORRY. ROMANIA WILL HELP YOU GET A HIGH GRAIN REGION!!
I think you should use erepublik.no (congress forums for not to be seen from others) more often, i had free time today at these times i could have helped you. Whats done is done
Or maybe we will give you another one! 😛
I use erepublik.no all the time. But as I said, I thought we were done witht he invasion, and was away when things escalated.
Sorry for losing Volga, but grain will be no problem for Norway. We will take care of it. Thank you Norway.
P.S. Kristoffer, nice article. voted
Wow. All this support is stunning. I really didn't expect it. And thank you, friends and allies.
What done is done. We need to take learndom from this and move on.
Voted!
Your honor is definitely intact, you are the best president eNorway could ever get, Voted!
all make mistakes, do not worry. Your intelligence could not know that this was a theocratic action
This was unfortunate, of course, but as long as we all can take it as a (n expensive) lesson and learn from it, we'll do better next time 🙂
Btw, this article is the proof of one thing I mentioned during your election campaign: You're not afraid to admit a mistake, and learn from it. It's a good quality for a leader I think.
Alt for Norge!
we will come for you any time, we will help you to get a grain high region for your country.
voted.. but it was not only Norway who underestimated our enemies yesterday.. I hope that all leaders of ATLANTIS nations (both political and military) will learn from this unfortunate battle.
I checked around 18.30 and the wall was still 20000 points strong.. I was also surprised and disappointed with the outcome.
It is impressive that PEACE used so much force on VOLGE.. and sustained it in URAL region just few hours before..
@to our president.. only worthy of the nation's trust admit their own mistakes. I believe in you.
Ok, guys, don't waste the time and give Urals to Romania, just as you planned it 🙂
I was pissed about this, but
Atleast you admit your mistakes for which I salute you.
"all make mistakes, do not worry. Your intelligence could not know that this was a theocratic action"
non ci vogliono credere xD
SILENT LEGES INTER ARMA!
Thank you Norway!
WE LOVE YOUUU!
Norway will get a high grain region back, don't worry about that. Romania won't forget the help provided by you and its other trustful allies.
Romania will surely help you. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed."
Except when you've already secured the region you need, right?
romania will give you moscow region.
Romania SHOULD give you something, and quick.
We love you, Norway 😉
Respect
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. If I wasn't in congress I would have personally gone to help but I still have duties to my country I can't be neglecting. This is a great article and proves your wisdom and honor as a great president. Your people love and respect you and so do your allies. Good luck in the future and with getting yourselves a high grain region. Perhaps in the future a lone Spartan may wander up to aid you 😉
I only wish those of us from the ATLANTIS alliance could have done more in your defence of this region. After fighting for two days and seeing the wall size, I would not have expected the push that brought the wall down and took the region. We stand with you and we will all learn.
Canada is with you. Together we stand.
THIS IS PATHETIC!
I'm sure Romania will help you...🙂
It happens, just continue foward and we'll get it back one day!
I appreciate that we have a president who admits his mistakes. I got just one question: Why do we now attack Romania when we hardly can defend our own territory and citizens? That fact that the Congress voted unamnious makes me suspicious; I want at least one anti-attack and low tax candidate from my district in the March elections!
I'll write another article. Read that one, and you'll understand.
