NOOBS can't make this stuff up

Day 1,845, 08:10 • Published in Australia Chile

• by Vyrin the First

So woke up this morning in the happy northern climbs of Minnesota in the United States. First problem - I'm not Australian although it is my favorite country outside the homeland.

Second problem. Know I'm posting probably too much but had to share this. Just had to.

Third problem. Daily orders - fight for Greece. Great! Just killed the headless chicken so got 50 strength. That makes so much sense in and of itself. So like the real world. Was happy to try the bazooka. Maybe I'll make a difference! What's this rocket thing? Oh well, I played like a good kid after the hour mark - maybe, just maybe saw the 50/50 bar climb from 32% on our side to 36% with my new massive damage. I figured - well I'm still a noob, I tried. I scratched them with my left big toe. I got the battle hero thing for my mantle. Awesome in a non-awesome kind of way.

Fourth problem. I then go back to the home page. WTF! A rebellion in Australia, already an hour underway. This was not the daily order? I thought maybe this noob overlooked it. I checked forums, I check the blog posts. Fight for Greece was all it said. Since I had already wasted a lot of damage doing nothing I said, well ok, just move on.

Fifth problem. I kid you not in what follows. We were ahead like 75% on the 50/50 bar. I was good. It was after the hour mark when I was adding damage. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE 50/50 BAR SHIFTS DOWN ALL THE WAY TO 33% ON OUR SIDE. I look for mega damage on their side - can't see it. Someone has the secret of how to blast that bar way down even in Division 1. I don't see how that could happen. I continue to fight - the 50/50 bar moves not a bit.

I am trying to learn, to chat, to play trivia on the E-PUB (wth?) but you really can't make this **** up. This is like one of those hidden camera shows where someone is going to bust out all of a suddena and say - haha we got you. And I'll laugh and move on - right? RIGHT?

someone probably dropped a weapon of mass destruction, to shift the bar that much. if you ever have any questions just jump into ##ausrep and we can help.

*sigh* Please, if you're confused about WHY we set the orders the way we did ask, do not simply ignore them (not at you Vyrin, more at alimilano and others like her).

The reason for the greece order is simple: We're trying to begin negotiations with Chile and thus. as an act of good faith, we are not directing our orders against them. Why? Because our current alliance leaning is doing nothing for us, so we're LOOKING (to everyone who thinks we're just dropping standing alliances) at shifting.

I have always considered Greece a good friend of Aus and am happy to fight for her whenever I can.
I fight for Argentina whenever I can not because they are as good friends as Greece but because we have very very similar aims right now.
Australia - what alimiano said \o/.
CyberCasper forget totally acts of good faith & that sort of crap. We start doing that sort of dance and we will end up negotiating ourselves out of most of Australia. Only Australia values Australia
