Silly Rabbit, (Dirty) Tricks are for Peace!!

Day 664, 10:00 Published in USA USA by Tyler Bubblar

When I first started this newspaper I wrote articles about not giving up. I urged eMericans everywhere to help one another to step up to the call of our leaders. My theme has been we must deserve victory more than our enemies. In researching this war I have come to understand we technically started it. We invaded Mexico, Portugal, France, and Russia. Near as I can tell we did this for the fun of it more than anything. We did not go on these offensives out of any sense of malice. It also is clear we never at any time wiped a nation off the map. As I was not a player during that time I will not dwell on it too much.

I have been playing this game for 6 weeks now. In that short time I have seen much that is good and praiseworthy. I have also seen much that is despicable and low handed. Peace has demonstrated to me that they clearly are the "bad guys" in this conflict. Their actions have included but are not limited to the following:

Agreeing to a peace treaty that Emerick negotiated and hammered out in good faith, and then reneging on the deal out of greed. Luring the eUK to turn on their former friends and then watched as the prize for their betrayal was taken from them without lifting a finger to help. Violating our treaty with Mexico to bring in Colombia so that Russia can hang on to their "conquests" a little longer. Running seemingly patriotic ads to confuse the gullible, noobs, stubborn, and misguided into ignoring DoD orders. This move cost us the chance to finish the job of throwing the Russians out. Setting up companies intended to lure in new players and starve them to death before they can even get started.

By contrast I have seen in Fortis/Eden, nations that have risen from the ashes of destruction to drive out their invaders. I have seen citizens giving everything they have to help their country and their allies. Canada, Spain, and Greece have been absolutely amazing. My respect for Canada and her people have grown immeasurably since playing this game. Their unselfish blocking of Russia to buy us time to finish off Indonesia, and now their blocking of Hungary to do the same with Russia, has been inspiring to see.

In short it is my belief while Peace may have initially been driving out an invader and punishing an aggressor they have allowed themselves to become far worse than we and our allies ever were. They are intent on grinding our faces into the ground, and they are willing to do anything to make that happen. Let us continue to help, honor, and support one another. Their are few conflicts over the course of history that are so obvious as who the "good and bad guys" are. This is one of them.
I feel confident in declaring: WE DESERVE VICTORY!!!!!!
