Pakistan - A personal perspective

I will keep this short and sweet.

As all of you are now aware we suffered a defeat at the hands of India. This isn't the first time it has happened but the 2nd time and although some of you are upset the fact remains that India outsmarted us. The Indian strategy was on point and flawlessly executed and the support they recieved from Bulgaria was very helpful.

Having said all that, it is important that Pakistani's don't feel dejected or demotivated. We will always have a back and forth with India and the time will come again where we will get in there.

There is obviously a lot of talk of damage, tanking, combat orders, supplying and gold buying. In my view, I don't believe any role is small. I have pointed out in the past that winning a war isn't a one man show. There are tanks, there are suppliers, there are shouters, there are wall watchers. The only role that requires gold is tanking the rest are all crucial jobs.

It is imperative that despite the high-level difference between individuals in this game which includes me. It is crucial that ordinary citizens snap out of this. You can participate, you can get involved but you need to seek out those who are in charge and not sit quietly and start shouting when there is a political war. Its really quite tiring.

We lost this war for several reasons, one of them is that we were late to it. We underestimated India and we were late in getting to our allies for support. Romy and David did a fantastic job in the time they had and we gave India a fight. We didn't roll over.

You can meet other players simply by clicking on http://chat.epakistan.org and here you will find Pakistani's, Foreign diplomats, eRepublik Moderators and all the help you could possibly think off to get you started.

Yes there are some individuals whom are banned and those bans will not be lifted for a long time but those invidiuals have caused more damage than good and until they prove of changing their ways there is no need to include them in the society that is present in the chat channel.

I'm not asking people to unite, I do not believe in that concept. What I am asking are for people who are silent and who complain to step and participate and do their part. Doesn't matter if you don't have a credit card, there is still a lot you can do. Months after months are ambassador posts go unfilled, months after months the bulk of the work falls on the very few players who play this game.

As JFK once said, ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.
