Bulgaria: I Forgive You
Commius
I know my opinion is worth close to nothing but this needs to be said.
Funny how short our memories are regarding brotherhood, but long in hatred.
Bulgaria, or any country for that matter, we must remember this is a game. It runs in cycles: creation and destruction; rebirth and ruin again. We will be on opposing sides or fighting side by side at some point.
In the end, we are all humans behind the screens (except Poles XD) and as natural it is to feel animosity and hate, it is just as natural to forgive.
I can easily make the argument that Bulgaria in their quest for not being in the same alliance as Turkey, committed the very same sin they accuse Turkey of having done in their past. The Bulgarian nation could not forgive the Turkish nation for their past actions.
Bulgaria, many in EDEN could hate you just as much as you hated Turkey, but no, many will forgive. For what it is worth, I forgive you. If, God forbid, I ever get elected CP and I have to vote on whether to admit Bulgaria to the alliance we are in, I would vote yes. That is because I forgive and most of all: it's a game.
The greatest part of this game are the relationships we build between people who live unimaginable distances away. Friends are made and good times are had, but also we are bound to piss someone off at some point. It is inevitable to happen with so many of us here, but it is a game and our arguments are trivial so we forgive.
Now it is your turn Bulgaria.

RL is an excuse.Bonuses are their problem Commius
"I know my opinion is worth close to nothing..."
^ My too : D
Bulgaria can go pout elsewhere.
I say we stay Neutral for the time being.
Chrxstos if all is bout bonuses let's make eBalkan union. All eBalkan countries are powerful and that union will overpower all other eWorld countries. And all we'll be happy- there're lot of territories we can share. Bonuses are just part of equation, but RL reasons are too.
Just we're both living in part of the world where people have so common folklore, culture, cuisine, etc, but still we can find smth to argue. We had two Balkan wars (100 years ago), former yugo republics wars, Kosovo, and now may be the rising issue between Albanians and Macedonians. I just can't imagine when all these will stop, may be I'll be not alive.
"I know my opinion is worth close to nothing". you are wrong. its worth less than nothing. Bulgaria did its step and signed new mpp. EDEN kicked Chile for Argentina and its clear sign for many countries what this alliance is worth.
its better to be Polish horse than Canadian donkey 🙂
funny how terra saved their ass by not letting turkey in...but eden got screwed..
I am a former Bulgarian, in fact what they did was one of the reasons I moved here. The country is ruled by "nationalists", who don't get the idea of fighting as a team and start charades for no real reason.
Also, if you knew the corruption that goes on in there, you'd be amazed. Buying votes there is not only tolerated, but also encouraged and considered the norm. It is like a sport. "Oh hey, I bought 10 votes!", "Haha! I bought 15" and so on. The bribes are advertised in plain sight, within the articles of the candidates, which specify exactly how much you get for one vote.
It wasn't always like this, but it started to be somewhere around October last year. Right now, the climate there is horrible. It is full of elitists, "nationalists" and racists.
Let me give you an example:
One of the people I know and respect, Nestor the Slav was recruiting new players for his B.R.A.V.O Academy and he invited an ethnic Turk to join. As soon as the "nationalists" figured that out, they started swearing at him and insulting him, then petitioning Nestor to kick him. Nestor didn't.
The Turk was one of the most active and enthusiastic members of the academy, he fought more for Bulgaria and EDEN than most Bulgarians did. And what did the "nationalist" government do? They mass reported him for multies and now he is banned. All this, because he has a Turkish name and is an ethnic turk.
They also tried the same tactic on me, because I opposed them, but luckily for me, I have a static IP, which proves my innocence, since it would be impossible for me to make multies without them knowing.
As long as that "nationalist" government is in place, Bulgaria will continue the foreign policy of "prestige" and "unification", which means screwing over all their allies and all the people that fought for them, because "Bulgaria needs to have access to 3 seas, like God intended it to be".
I don't know if the situation is comical or tragic.
"They mass reported him for multies and now he is banned" - so you moved to Canada? lol, nice recomendation, really
