Changing the Status Quo
Day 2380
5/27/2014
Yesterday was Memorial Day here in the USA. We take time every year to remember those who fought for our country and have since passed. For me it is a weekend full of happy memories and celebrating the lives of those who gave more than many of us will ever consider on behalf of everyone they left behind. For me, my family, and many of my friends, that means we do a lot of things that those family members liked to do. We kayaked long stretches of river, camped under the stars, we drank(a lot). Mostly we made memories; memories that will forever be tied to people close to us who made real sacrifices.
For all the arguing and fighting and friending we do here in the eWorld, sometimes you’d think we really had something to lose. We really do not. For all the emotion that gets put into the color of pixels on a digital map or the amount of pixels we do or don’t get to see on the counter to the left on the screen, you’d think something really important was at stake. It really is not. Someday, my time here will come to an end. It’s not yet, but someday. When it happens, I will walk away knowing that I value the friends I have made far more than the rivals I have trolled.
We have concentrated a lot of time and firepower on Canada these last months. It’s been a lot of fun. We have traded lots of barbs and trolling. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such an entertaining shout feed. Tons of FF and TP medals were awarded. We even had the full attention of LETO and some of Asteria for a while. It has been a very good exchange.
The world has again turned. We had very few expectations in Europe over the course of our Canadian war. Most of our allies were relatively stable, with a few exceptions. Chile, with their x2 determination bonus pretty much had Asteria on its heels. Now we have new fronts developing and it is time to look past our hemisphere and project our power further afield. In the coming weeks, our allies will need us and we will answer the call.
DMV III and I have come to agreement that it will be in both our country’s best interest to change the status quo. Starting immediately, the USA will be withdrawing from Canadian regions. We will drop the Natural Enemy Declarations and regions in Canada will be RWed back to Canada.

Finally, we can be friends with Canada again ;x.
Molly is OK...

Now that I have a full coat made of seals, we can move on.
I've got the full Canadian tuxedo in baby seal skin.
For the last couple of weeks it was hard to even find a seal. After considering importing more, it was decided that this was probably the best option. Importing seals is expensive.

And the terms are?
They agreed to accept you as a citizen.
I have no doubt that I could get into Canada without an issue if I really wanted to, to bad that I don't. Thanks for negotiating this for me though!
Now again, terms? White peace?
LOL
lol
Sounds like white peace, to me
I would say it sounds more like a ceasefire. There is no official agreement between the two countries, no treaty, and nothing ratified by Congress.
I imagine this played a part in it?

Not at all. This was a done deal for some time already. That's kind of shortsighted of you considering what everyone can see is happening in the eWorld.
You got me wrong there Molly. 1st, I said "part" of the reason, ofc not the entire reason. And 2n😛 I didn't say it was a bad thing, if that would have been part of the reason. In fact, I couldn't think of a better reason to end a war, than fulfilling someone's last wish.
Rylde and I, we didn't know each other too well, but we disagreed on a lot. I thought it was very considerate of him to leave a parting wish article with eRep, and I would certainly never harbor an in-game grudge against him in RL. But this was under way before his announcement and my game has nothing to do with his RL.
Did you have a hard time understanding what I wrote? Perhaps you need a translator?
Wow, way to go on the offensive. Is it so hard to consider that some might think that this is just "Sure we'll start our pull back, I'll let you in on the terms later" kind of article? Because quite honestly I doubt that anyone in eUS saw a complete pull happening where we gain 0 benefits from it. There is absolutely no need to go on the offense.
Seppo, the fact that you think there are no benefits to us pulling out of Canada proves that you really do not understand anything about our role in the eWorld.
Do not assume to tell me what I understand and what I don't understand. I understand our role extremely well, sure saying 0 benefits is probably quite harsh of me, would you prefer for me to say close to no benefits instead? We now get 0 bonuses, how do we justify our WT? We have now spent 3m to get to where we are, how do we justify our spending? We now get less RWs against us sure, but that could have been organized in a better way so that it's close to no drain at all.
Was our endgame to this whole war to just back off and get 0 bonuses for all the trouble that we went through?
I neither presume nor assume anything. You plainly stated your shortsighted outlook for everyone to see. In short:
USA's bonuses are accounted for. I do not control taxes. I also do not apologize, nor do I take credit, for what my predecessors did for the USA. The war was good for the country and now it is better that it is over. I am sorry that it is not under the terms that you spent so much time closeted with our enemy to lay out.
What you got for your trouble was months of trolling, trash-talking, battling, medals, & COs. You got ACTIVITY and FUN! I fail to see how that's a bad thing.
If you would like a lengthier debate, perhaps a forum thread would be better for this,
Post the article on the forums and we'll go ahead for a lengthier debate.
The benefits of pulling out are plenty, but I think those have been mentioned before and were disregarded. That's why Seppo acts like his wiener is stuck between his fly.
