eNorway; National Referandum - REPRINTED

Day 1,906, 13:07 Published in Norway Finland by Kristoph Woldskji
National Referandum concerning our EDEN-membership


NB! THIS IS A RE-PRINT, THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY VOTED DO NOT NEED TO DO IT AGAIN!





The matter at hand

This is a matter which have been discussed back and forth for some months, actually even before the creation of Asgard, and namely- creating or joining a northern brotherhood.
And time have passed, EDEN have been in turmoil with serious trouble keeping up against the CoTWO-cooperation and internal disturbances.
Amongst other stuff, then the remaining/acting parts of EDEN HQ, have put some pressure on me to find out what our official stance in regards the these matters will be.

Here you have the public forum-files of our newest discussion regarding EDEN vs Asgard (please read here if you are not familiar with our current situation);
Tinyurl or full link


So to officially mark the end of my term as your president, I am putting up this national referandum to see what the people of eNorway want us to do next...
And with history being like it is and time pressing us hardly, I am only giving two options in this referandum, “STAY” or “LEAVE” EDEN, with “LEAVE” also imply us applying for membership to Asgard.

TWO (aka PEACE, PHOENIX, ONE...) have been left out here because of our generally hostile relations with them through the years.

CoT could be an interesting option, but as I can’t say anyone have championed their cause, then I will let them slide for now...

As this is is a rather serious matter, but with a somewhat short deadline, this referandum will run open till the 8th of February

This might seem as an act of cowardness from my behalf, leaving the next CP and his/her administration of eNorway to make the call.
But then they would have the referandum to rely on, telling them at least what the people want...





EDEN vs Asgard; my view of them

EDEN;
- We are founding members, but still- the smallest current member.
- Still way superior to Asgard in terms of damage output.
- Experienced personel from the alliance’s beginning
- “Eternal” Balkan-wars...
- Can most likely keep the current relations with Asgard as a member

Asgard;
- Would have to apply for trial and start from scratch.
- Real-life neighbours and most likely; in-game brotherhood.
- More localized fighting and probably in wars that appeal to us more than the Balkan-wars, though still it is absolutely possible to still fight for others in MPP battles of our other friendly nations.
- Can most likely keep the current relations with EDEN as a member.
- They are having a good relation with our leasing-partner Russia.

Additional comments;
I might seem to be a bit too pessimistic regarding Asgard here, I don’t want us to be too optimistic on how things will continue if we are to join them. At the end of the day - they are offering us nothing certain, but they offer friendship - which they have proved during our UK war. However though, this will be a new direction for our eNation, no matter what!

EDEN on the other hand has become, according to my personal observations- a hornets nest, as no one fights for EDEN anymore and the brotherhood-part seems to have gone missing.




The options and who’s eligible to vote

So then I again present you with the options of this referandum;

A ) STAY
Stay in EDEN; work for and with HQ to try rebuilding the ancient alliance into it’s former glory.

B ) LEAVE
Leave EDEN and apply for membership in Asgard, seeking new adventures, friends and perhaps brotherhood?


All eNorwegians players are considered eligible to vote in this open referandum, but I will also accept the votes of RL norwegians living abroad. If you are a RL norwegian voting, please state your home town with the vote.

This referendum ends on the 8th of February, 12o’Clock eRep-time (9PM CET+1).



Last words

Remember to use your right to vote here, this might affect eNorway future greatly!
