Feeling bored, ONE? Your fate awaits

Day 1,319, 09:39 • Published in Finland Finland • by avec


To begin my article I feel a need to correct a misunderstanding given by my previous article. People tell me I'm a compelling writer and that anything I wrote people would believe in, but this is something I certainly don't want people to believe in, far from it. So, to correct your misunderstanding and to ruin some of yours fantasies:

I'm straight.

Now that this issue has been dealth with, let's move on to the other topic.


Apocalypse Now


I've written so many articles simply about the way of thinking and aspects of gameplay that sometimes I get the feeling I'm like Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now, preaching via radio transmissions about the philosophy of war and civilization. Hopefully my fate won't be the same.

It was obvious since Day 1, but the more I look, the more clear it appears that ONE is on the road to doom. They're running out of objectives, and their alliance is desperately trying to justify itself. Once they've taken all the regions they can, they'll suffer the same fate EDEN did last Autumn – member countries are going to start acting selfishly, the alliance will die out, and the enemy simply RWs itself back on the map slowly, thus undoing the benefits and spoils of war ONE countries managed to get, returning them to square one.


Stop whining


What EDEN needs to do is to get your act back together. Stop whining, stop being lazy. Reading statistics about numerical superiority of the enemy is meaningless: it doesn't apply in real life local conflicts and neither does it apply in here. We can beat the enemy in local conflicts if everyone does as you're told to. EDEN started losing only when people stopped caring and stopped fighting. I don't want to hear any of that anymore, and to me it seems no one else does either. Several proposals already exist for reorganizing EDEN and concentrating the fighting force of EDEN and Terra, and we only need to make them work. It's always been about the will and motivation of people, and the lack of that was what killed off EDEN in the first place. Now, the time is ripe to make a comeback.

ONE is a demoralized, conflict-ridden alliance that is built on broken ground. They have no reason to fight for anymore, and one by one they're going to lose whatever they've gained in the battlefields. They once so much talked about change and how it's going to make the game better – well, maybe it's time for a change again. The game will be much better with the collapse of ONE, and their own citizens know it too.



A fitting picture describing ONE's fate.
