Oh Shi-
Mr Woldy
Scotland!
Home of the free, the deep fat fried mars bar, bagpipes and haggis.
I'm an eighth Scottish, so when I woke yesterday to find that Poland had finally attacked our bonnie highlands, I was insulted. I wondered, where are they going? having originally thought it would be Canada, I read an article explaining that the US had agreed to loan regions to them, and that to get there they needed to hop over Scotland.
Whether or not Poland's final destination is regions in the USA or whether it's just a ruse and they're are trying to get to Asia remains to be seen.

herp.
So, to tackle this issue we retreated several regions to the Netherlands, then retreated Scotland to allow the Netherlands to block Poland until we can gain initiative and block them ourselves.
Or at least that was the plan.

Unfortunately, whilst trying to pull off the biggest sneakiest block ever, those bugs popped up and stopped us. Normally there would be a red button underneath the "go to the battlefield" button giving the option to retreat. As we were not the attackers in this battle, it should be there until the very end. It wasn't.
(To the Ameritrolls, this does mean it wasn't your chocblock that that through a spanner in the works, you could have got away with saving the cash on that one.)
As you can see, it has been devoured by bugs and we were left high and dry with a bunch of Dutch people on our Lands. I can understand that the admins may be focusing on Beta at the minute, but some of us think it's naff anyway and would prefer you get V1 working first.
Or you could be cool and use your powers to set all this right, whilst I drink myself into an early grave.

Congress Elections
Because we have lost several regions, it is going to affect our congress elections, which start today.
Normally, as the UK has 12 regions we have 3 congressmen in each region and 4 wildcards. However due to us handing over several regions to the UNL and due to Poland owning Scotland, today we are going to have 7 congressmen per region and 5 wildcards. (Unless ofc there are more bugs.)
These changes coming along so suddenly will no doubt frustrate some PP's, and many congressmen who have been denied the chance to enter commons this month because of the last minute changes.
For other congress running in other regions, it may have guaranteed you a place, so consider yourselves lucky. Never the less this months congress results are going to be very odd, and for any inconvenience caused we at the save the world committee apologise.
He likes to do things last minute too
We herd you lyked War
Because we replaced some good old fashioned fun with some blocks, we thought we'd offer you an alternative.
So, you may have read that we've set up a fund to attack the Irish. If we can raise just under 600 gold we will have enough money to declare war on Ireland.

Remember, every penny counts! but gold counts more.

ADMINS MESSING UP A UK MILITARY MANEUVER???!?!?! THAT NEVER HAPPENED IN VALHALLA OR ANYTHING
voted 😁
Whats disappointing is that people now just accept bugs and move on rather the kick up a big stink. Lets hope V2 is better :/
Lol. 🙂
Thanks for a sharp explanation. No Congress for me this month, which makes me very sad.
hmmmm.
Couldn't we sell Scotland to Poland for the 600 Gold we need?
Horice 😛
NL occupies the UK awesome at least you have a better football team now
great read. very good with all the pictures and all that
ghehehe lol Mitch.
Epic fail anyway!
Gotta love this game!

Well, could you check if that option is available, before you initiated swaps with the Dutch freinds?
Anyway, this is real Shi...I am very disappointed in this buggy game 🙁
sad story bro
alwaysadminsfaultmaxxx
chocblock 😎
Hail UK!
Hail Serbia!!
you got chocblocked. JUST ADMIT IT
Why is that always the excuse with United Faildom?
Should have just retreated to the Poles, as usual...
I lol'd.
Bank of Englands already got 600g in 😉
Oh Woldy :3
Get your shit together.
OH GOD I AM GLADOS LOOK AT MY CAPS!!!
Its eRepublik, there are bugs all the time. As Feherlo famously said "plan around them and quit complaining". Sorry your plan sucked.
Good stuff, sounds like the UK isn't made of fail.
Or you could've, like, defeated Poland with the help of your 11 MPPs. Shame the UK military wasn't up to the task.
Admin "saves" the day for EDEN again. :/
LOL WOLDY! And you make fun of the eUS for making mistakes when we have bugs XD
Sure is admin conspiracy in here
Cool excuses m9
Southern Netherlands -> East of England -> East Midlands -> Yorkshire & Humberside -> North East of England -> Scotland
Simple? Yeah, boring, let's make it more fun - why not to get West Midlands, North West of England, South West of England?
Done!
What?! US blocked us in South West of England?! [famous picture here]
Rod, I brought up that point too.
Erepublik was massivly buggy yesterday and this morning and i think its a mistake by Pheonix HQ to leave it all in the hands of admin....
Poland already tanked like 5000gold in the evening you could have tried swaping back then and if it failed sent the military to win the old fashioned way.
Anyway the game must go on, i hope we have got some plans to stop them Polish swaps. 🙂
12 v 1
lol pathetic.
Dylanb9216 if you want to try 1 v 1, Bank of England is accepting donations to fund a pointless war on Ireland.
What a F-ing Joke!
Admin "saves" the day for EDEN again. :/ x2
"Unless ofc there are more bugs"
Which there are. The whole congress elections module appears to have got its panties in a bunch due to this happening during selection/election!
Bugs, a guaranteed explanation to save UK😒 face. If there wasn't a retreat button, why did you bother to swap Netherlands all the way to border Scotland? You decided to play double or quits and win Poland in a f5-race? Well too bad you got blocked before that 🙂
[removed]
Looks like the UK is making more excuses and threatening Ireland once again...
You are only declaring war because we don't have our MPPs anymore and you want to overcome our defenses the only way you can... By attacking a smaller, weaker country.
You guys are the biggest buzzards I've ever seen.
Bristel that is just typical. You've been hiding behind MPPs for months, ever since your cowardly deal with Norway, and now that someone is actually pushing the button you act affronted.
It's a stupid move on our part, and I always advised against attacking the eIrish, but your ilk in eIreland makes me ill. You've been asking for it, you've got it, deal with the consequences like a man.
here we go again, you call us cowards when we don't attack.
you call us bullies when we do attack.
MAKE UP YOUR MIND IRISH.
Oh I'm not complaining. Just call a spade a spade.
My ilk's better than yours.
I'll ilk you if you're not careful!
I'm actually quite positive that you AREN'T allowed to retreat after 6 hours, regardless of whether you are attacking or defending.
^but those are the rules! :/
before and after...
