A Call on all Americans(War or not to War)
Joe DaSmoe
Good Evening,
America, we have a decision to make. The new war module was fired up today. The new system provides America with an opportunity. Your President believes the time to act is upon us. Uncle Sam campaigned on a call for War games. However, the debate over that rages on without much progress. The new structure of the war mod provides us a chance to give our citizens an increase in wellness. Without an active battle for some time, most of your are feeling the effects of wellness loss.
So what do we do? Do we sit idly by and watch or enemies benefit or do we march? Many Americans have tasted battle, many have had no chance to fight. We need to boost our citizens ability to defend America. Our recent losses have left a bad taste in our mouths. America has seen a great influx of V1 babies, recently dubbed the the V1 boom. Many of you have not had the opportunity to fight. Uncle Sam feels it is time to give our citizens a shot in arm, a chance to raise xp and wellness will benefit everyone.
Unfortunately, we find ourselves in difficult circumstances as of late. Americans have felt the sting of our Treasury loss, we have recovered but not fully. America is in debt to you. There is an active proposal to raise weapons taxes to 15/20/15 in order to speed recovery. Uncle Sam proposed 10/20/15, not wanting to raise income tax. It's a compromise and may pass. The hope is by doing this, Congress will be able to expidite the repeals of the emergency taxes via an income boost from battle.
Uncle Sam is interested in how you feel on the subject, voice your opinions.
The wellness boost and the boost to the economy would be beneficial to our nation. United we stand, divided we fall, seize the day America.
Sam will follow up later today.
Thank you for your time,
Joe

I'm on of those v1 babies itching for a battle!
LETS FIGHT! We don't need weapons, soldiers, let's fight with our fists, literary.
Yeah, I wanna' fight Pakistan and liberate China. Let's do this!
Trey, you cant from America, Pakistan doesnt even touch America
I like the idea of war,
FOR THE ECONOMY!
FOR THE GLORY!
FOR THE LULZ!
I'm all for liberating China, but at the cost of higher taxes, I dunno. This is a tough choice. I'm torn.
FIGHT!!
We do not need to do war games. We can just support an ally[ spain, for example] in a war against a peace nation[ portugal, for example].
War Games.
Sound the war drums!!
portugal lost and spain won
I don't get it. Just days ago I was hearing about fears of an invasion of eAmerica, about how we're just floating about the bankruptcy line, how our military needs a far greater percentage of government spending if they are to be effective. I've been operating under the assumption that the only wars we would be engaged into are the ones that we were dragged into by our ATLANTIS-related obligations.
And now the VP is practically calling on us to lead the glorious charge.
No war. War is bad.
I'm a product of the new advertising for eRep and so have no experience with war in this game. I can read and think though - so I'm going to post away.
First, it would be more fun than not fighting. Therefore, if it doesn't mean total disaster (and I that seems pretty remote) - we should fight!
Second, while what Ive seen and read indicate that our treasury is not yet at full strength, I think it would benefit from a war/war game because: a) Increased taxation on weapons would still be cheaper than gifting to get my wellness up and so not be a significant burden; b) It would increase demand for depressed markets - increased consumption => increased revenue (from wages and sales taxes).
Third, player retention. More to do/more fun keeps more players which, once the country has fully incorporated the population boom, should make us all the stronger.
Fourth, it would be more fun. Did I already mention that?
That being said - I would wait briefly to see if we get attacked first. Wouldn't want some aspiring nation to try to take us down while we are already involved somewhere else. Other more experienced players can better assess where that line is though.
Anyway, that's two cents from a eRep newbie.
i think we need these war games.. look at me... im level 13 and have never seen a fight in my whole eLife.
i LOVE sunkist soda. i basically have an addiction to all things artifically colored of flavored orange. that being said, i think we should go to war, and not on friendly terms.
War war war war war war war war war war war war war war war war War war war war war war war war war war war war war war war war War war war war war war war war war war war war war war war war War war war war war war war war war war war war war war war war War war war war war war war war war war war war war war war war War war war war war war war war war war war war war war war war War war war war war war war war war war war war war war war war

We want WARRRRRR!
WARZZ

FIGHT
Oooorah
"I've got my best suit on. I cannot win a war, so I shall at least die well dressed" ~Some french guy
I'm in favor of a war, but not getting dragged through the mud to help out in ATLANTIS vs. PEACE squabbles. I think we need to establish our own sphere of independent influence — modeled perhaps on Wilsonian self determination and sovereign rights of occupied nations.
To do list:
Australia
Argentina
China
India
Israel
Also we should be sure to guard the independence of the newly created SE-Asian states.
So I guess our enemy in my thinking, then, is Indonesia.
At Arms, CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE!!
WAR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY!!!
War package is just released, why not wait a few days and get a sense of what others are going to do first so we do not get caught unawares. That said I am in favor of war but also heavily favor it being a well thought out process not a spur of the moment thing.
War (with Mexico)!
Dear Joe
You have put up an interesting idea of wins and losses and even the economy but I believe that some things in this article are slightly extravegized to draw attantion but before war I think we should unify all of The North American Continent as known as the United North American Republic of Trade... Other wise Known as UNART... And we will be able to capture all the territories!
War, baby. We will RAIN the PAIN!
(I want the extra experience, darnit.)
and man I think there should be like a world war 2 sceinario!
lets help out an ally, but dont start a new war.
Well, from over here, if you're going to raise taxes on weapons, you prolly need a war if you want it to do anything productive for national revenue.
War, I need one more fight to move up a rank.
I believe we should go to war, but finish the fight in Portugal and help opressed nations such as eRussia, eIsrael, eGreece, and eChina.
Of course war! What a question...
FIGHT!!!! WARRR WARR!!!! This game is boring without any battles!
v1 boom babies? LOL
We were born in war, so we are going to war!
I say war, we can't let Romania or Iran or what have you getting the better of us. We need to expand and consolidate though. How about a war of conquest? Just a tiny one?
I say we go to WAR........CANADA ROUND TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No war. We'd lose it, I'm very much afraid.
I (a noob) need to get more wealth and experience. We'll get more wealth from peace than war.
The eUSA is too poor (or so I understand) to fight effectively.
If we fight a war, we'd lose.
Rollo the point is you get more wellness in a war because you can use the hospital, +50 wellness per day 🙂
Yeah war sounds like a pretty awesome idea
I'd like a war - would let me get my rank up. Plus it's fun.
Maybe try for a war game first, though?
war please
