WatZ Up: A quiet corner in the north.

First of all, i write this to involve the eNorwegian public in the politics and the future of eNorway. We have to make a decision, a stand about how to save or small community from implode.
I have noticed the activity level is declining, fewer candidate for congress, and fewer votes, and we have to do something about it, we need to make a change in the mentality in eNorway.



Playing it safe?
In the Post-PTO area eNorway have been very careful about it politics, we have tried to play it safe to prevent a new PTO and to prevent wipe of our regions.
When i started playing this game a year ago our neighbor eSweden had just left EDEN and joined the new alliance ONE. They kept us wiped most of the time, and also helped the serbian PTOers take control of or congress and as a result a PTOer got elected CP in december 2011. (most swedes was against this move, and impeached their CP when it was known).

The time and effort it took to get eNorway back in the hands of was tremendous, but all eNorwegians fought together, and when the Norwegians makes their final stand together, nothing can beat us. As an example i used to stay up all night during elections to get all the PTO-er multies that voted banned.
We did this because we had a goal, something we strived together to achieve.
And after we finally managed to throw them out of eNorway, we made up our mind that this should never be allowed to happen again.

The tools, and apps we created prevented new PTOs, and renting some of our regions to Russia kept us without border with Sweden, and safe to keep our two regions from getting wiped.



But what now?
Except for our TW against eNetherlands we have had no action at all in the last 6 months, we have always thought that we should "play it safe" so we wouldnt get wiped again. And we would only keep 2 regions until we got a babyboom that could justify election in more regions.

It all sounded great, but now we see the opposite happens. Lower activity and our already small community is dwindling.
So lets face it, This game is about war, not playing farmville. Playing it safe is boring. To never be able to fight for your country is boring and we need to make a change in our mentality about how we play this game.
A eCanadian CP said when they NEd Poland and was certain they were going to get wiped; "I dont care if we get wiped, this game is about fighting".

When i look at the Asgard vs ABC war i get envouis because it look like a lot of fun. And i think fun is something we need in eNorway.
