WHPR [Day 1,047] - NOSTAGLIA ALERT

Day 1,047, 20:24 • Published in USA USA • by James S. Brady Press Room
AMERICA,

It's been over a week since you've gotten a letter from your government, and what's happened since then? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Except SOMETHING BIG. That's right gentlemen, we're plowing through Portugal like an eighth grade girl. Going through sixth grade homework.


Poland thinks we're great
Recently, we fought alongside our Polish bros against Lithuania. Yeah, Lithuania. We all hate Lithuania for our own reasons. Me, it's because they exist. Excuse me, existed. Suddenly, a black fog has lifted from my cold, dead heart, and I feel lighter. Life is beautiful. So Poland, thank you for getting rid of Lithuania.


India Situation
We'd like all women and children to skip over this section as it may cause irreversible trauma.

Alright gentlemen, hold onto your hats: we may not be best friends with India in the future. I'll wait while your fetch tissues.
Back? Ok. Here's how it happene😛
India asked us to renew our MPP
President Krems thought about it
Krems listened to Andrew WK
Krems continued to be the second best president of all time
India asked us to renew again
Krems and his cabinet decided that, since India had no border with Servia, that it would be a waste of 150 gold. I say 150g because India wanted us to pay half of their MPP cost.
Krems ordered kongres to vote no on the Alliance
Kongres voted it down
India immediately signed peace with Servia and an MPP with Hungary. They are reported to have paid for both sides of that MPP, a grand total of 200 gold.
This

Funny story, Alliance rules will be changed in a few days to include MPP's in any attack, as opposed to the old one, where they would only be available for an attack if activated by the country attacked if that country had previously attacked the attacking country. Fun, right? So with these new rules that were announced a few hours before India began their new moves an active MPP wasn't completely necessary, and we could have bided our time until the time for India to set on a freedom tromp into Malaysia to resign it. But no, they signed peace with the country that stomped through them last month. That's cool.

Important update
As none of you are probably aware, I've been having issues getting my PSX emulation going. A few nights ago, I downloaded pSX and a few ISOs(I believe that what is called ROMs for ZSNES are named ISOs for PSX emus). During the downloading process, I had been hyping myself up with Chrono Cross music and Final Fantasy VII videos, as those are my two favorite PSX games. Also FF7 is the greatest JRPG, nay RPG, of all time. Prove me wrong.

Deal w/it haters.

Anyways, I was super hyped and ready to go. I followed the readme's instructions and got ready to play. I opened up pSX and watched the beautiful PSX opening sequence with the THX-esque chord . . . I was already nostalgiaing so hard that my house was on fire. So when I tried to play a game and it errored, it was probably for the best. To make a long story short, two days of internet searching and trouble shooting with my bro ArcNox, and it's working. I just played FF7 for the first time in a little less than a decade, and I'm in heaven.


Greece and Macedonia
In real life, Greece has a long and bountiful history. They invented both freedom and democracy, back before we were a spit shine on a native's leather moccasin. Their philosophers and mathematicians are still household names and are still looked up to by both students and professors in a myriad of fields today. The great Alexander the Great is often seen on historians top 10 list of greatest conquerors of all time, usually a few tiers above our own Andrew Jackson and a few below George Bush Jr. Today, there is a dispute over the Macedonian region, a region that is historically Greek and was, for a time, part of Yugoslavia. There is currently a dispute over the name of the country, and we encourage you to educate yourself on the situation if you aren't up to speed on it

Now, how this applies to eRepublik: last week, when Macedonia was announced, the admins promised that they "will use the same reference as the majority of the International Organizations, until the moment the two countries involved will initial an official treaty about the final official denomination." However, the Greeks have gotten wind that the name of the new eCountry will, in fact, be simply "Macedonia" when a presidential candidate was choosing military goals, and found the name "Macedonia" under military goals. This has sparked a lot of emotion from patriotic Greeks who have a historical region of Macedonia.

We ask that all Americans show support for our Greek brothers.
The admins are trolls.


Work for the government
Do you find your life sad and meaningless? So do I. But there's hope for you, young padawan. By signing up to work for the Department of Inferior, you can get yourself valuable eRep experience, build on your network, and improve your political career.


Andrew WK
When I referenced Andrew WK above, I decided to download some of his music, and found this little gem. Since then, I've been listening to Party Hard covers, my favorite being the one by Dan & Mark. Listening to their rendition of Mr WK's classic song right now, it's hard for me to believe that these grown men are amateurs.


Nostalgia contest
There are seven pieces to eRepublik nostalgia placed in this article. Whoever can decipher all seven of them in a comment in this article first will win 4 golds. Good luck.


Singed,
Emerick
Best president of all time. Of all time.
