Finding Balance: eGreece's Pursuit of Neutrality Amid Asteria's Uncertainty

Day 5,980, 01:18 • Published in Greece Slovakia • by Citizen Erased

It's been approximately 10 days since eGreece declared its neutrality status.

In my view, this decision was long overdue and inevitable given our country's circumstances.

As a citizen of eGreece (disregard my current Slovakian CS), my primary concern has always been the prosperity of our nation and its players. I've consistently opposed Greek players targeting each other, striving instead to foster unity in pursuit of prosperity.

Returning to the game after a 6-7 month hiatus, I found eGreece repeatedly on the brink of being wiped out. Seeking clarity, I gathered opinions, though often conflicting. Ultimately, I formed my conclusions based on the information I received.

During my previous active period, Greece and Code had some form of cooperation, which I didn't observe this time. Our leaders voiced prolonged complaints, frustration mounted, and it seemed we received little to no assistance. eGreece appeared to be a pawn in CODE's strategies, primarily used to open RWs and provide damage, a reality I reluctantly accepted.

We're no longer the formidable nation we once were. Constant battles for our freedom have depleted our strength, a big amount of our tanks is now inactive, with many former financial backers no longer in the game. It's understandable that we're not a high priority for an alliance.

The decision to embrace neutrality seemed like a potential solution—a means to escape the relentless pressure from our adversaries, allowing our players some respite and rediscovered enjoyment in the game. And I still believe it could be.

However, it's a harsh reality for us Greeks to accept that achieving true neutrality won't happen overnight. Building trust with our former enemies will be a protracted process, as they bear deep scars from past conflicts with eGreece.

Asteria won't release us easily; they'll extract every last advantage before considering any agreement. They'll seek more resources and territorial wins to bolster their strength further.

Asteria,however, must also come to terms with the reality that our strength cannot simply revert to its former levels. The revival of our strength relies on a unified effort from players who are ready to commit a substantial amount of money to the game once again.

It's disheartening to see not all Greek players are aligned on this path. While some doubt neutrality, I struggle to envision an alternative. Yet, it's natural for those accustomed to fighting alongside certain allies of the past for years, to find it harder to change than others.

Change is challenging, but sometimes necessary and inevitable. This might be our sole opportunity to shift away from perpetual warfare, to rebuild our nation and forge new bonds with our now-neutral friends, like Turkey and Chile

As we embark on this new chapter of neutrality, I am hopeful that our former enemies and allies will come to understand and respect our decision. While the path ahead may be challenging, it also presents an opportunity for reconciliation and mutual understanding.

By embracing neutrality, we seek not only to rebuild our nation but also to forge new bonds and partnerships based on cooperation and shared goals. Let us look towards the future with optimism, confident that through dialogue and goodwill, we can pave the way for a brighter tomorrow for all players of eGreece.

Thank you,
Eugene.
