[MoFA] Brotherhood
Irish Foreign Ministry
Brotherhood. Some say the word has no meaning anymore. Some say the word means everything. The truth is there must be a balance between brotherhood and damage for any group of nations to succeed in this game, whatever their goals may be.
Times are changing however, and the meaning of brotherhood seems to have lessened since the fall of CoT. TWO has always had a reputation for being strategic and powerful, while CoT was it's little brother. CoT had a more upbeat brotherhood atmosphere, similar to EDEN. This was shown during their war with TWO. While EDEN nations and CoT nations were wiped, there was still hope that their brothers would assist them in their trials, and lead them back to victory. In the end, TWO recruited massive tank nations from EDEN's fall, focusing on damage above all, and was victorious. Since then nations have taken TWO’s mentality of gathering damage more than focusing on loyalty, respect, and brotherhood. They don’t realize that it was the lack of such that brought an end to TWO.
The fall of the worlds alliances were all very similar in nature. But opposite at the same time. CoT fell to lack of damage, while EDEN and TWO fell to lack of brotherhood/unity. CoT ended when problems got severe, TWO went on an extra couple months, while EDEN's HQ ran a dead alliance for year.
It became obvious that EDEN's HQ , at the end of its life, cared more about damage and resources than what really mattered to most of its nations, brotherhood. Some nations didn't care about winning the game, or losing the game. They cared about contributing to their allies success, and their allies doing the same for them. It was about HAIL EDEN, HAIL BROTHERHOOD! It was about meeting new people, and standing up against the odds to accomplish greatness. Greatness in whatever form we needed it to be in. EDEN was more than just an alliance. EDEN was a community. EDEN members were more than just allies, they were friends.
Ireland throughout the years has still cared for each and every one of those friendships. But unlike larger, more ambitious nations that care only about winning the game, and getting damage, Ireland has refused to turn our back on those allies. Ex-EDEN HQ are arrogant. They refuse to this day even to acknowledge their failures and selfishness that led to our alliance's demise, but worse, they blame us for standing by our friend, Bulgaria. Bulgaria, however, doesn’t blame us for staying in EDEN. Turkey was not EDEN when they tried to join, Bulgaria was. We stood by them when other nations refused, because they had reasons to be upset with HQ. Their veto was ignored. When they left, we were offered the opportunity to join them, but refused, because even though we supported them, it didn't mean we disliked our EDEN brothers. We still stayed behind and fought for every one them. For Greece, for Croatia, for Portugal, for the Netherlands, for Bosnia, for Ukraine.
We don't betray. We don't corrupt. We fight.
And when smaller EDEN nations were wiped, Ireland fought for them. Nations like Portugal and the Netherlands had no land, yet larger EDEN HQ nations had many resources and were fighting for more. Finally we took a stand and said enough was enough. We wouldn't continue to be a part of a dead alliance and be asked to fight for nations who are throwing parties at the expense of smaller nations regions. Within weeks, our wiped allies agreed and left as well.
We were asked to choose sides, TWO or CoT, by all of our allies. But choosing sides would mean to betray our allies. We chose neutrality. We chose to be judged. We chose boredom. But above all, we chose loyalty. We could've committed to one side. We had diplomats that wanted both. They were ambitious and experienced and easily could've gotten us into one alliance or the other, but the people didn't want it. We wanted to stick by all of our allies.
We don't betray. We don't corrupt. We fight.
Now the time has come, that some of our greatest allies are joining our worst enemies. They are the same enemies that they helped us to fight in the EDEN days. They are the same enemies that did everything they could to destroy our alliance, our community, our brotherhood. Times change indeed, but our loyalty and honour never has. Certain leaders will look for excuses to call us traitors. They will look for any excuse to justify to their citizens their reasoning for betraying us in the future. They'll bring up our support of Bulgaria against a nation that wasn't even in EDEN at the time, but fail to mention our support and faith in EDEN afterwards. Or fail to mention our disappointment afterwards as we watched the accusers destroy our alliance. But regardless...
We don't betray. We don't corrupt. We fight.
Ireland stands by any ally that doesn't abuse our loyalty, our trust. We always have and always will. Perhaps we are fools. Perhaps we are blind that everything around us has changed and damage alone holds value. But through it all...
We won't betray. We won't corrupt. We will fight.
To all of our old allies, EDEN or not: Portugal, United States, Canada, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Croatia, and many more:
We stand by you. We always have. We have faith that you will remember our friendship and the trials we've overcome together. We hope that you all haven't truly succumbed to damage starved mentality, to throw the meaning of brotherhood away. We haven't been betrayed by any of you and hopefully we never will. Until that day comes, if it is indeed inevitable as many think, remember that you have a friend in us, no matter what end of the alliance spectrum you end up on. If the day comes that you fight for our enemies against us, then no propaganda you use will justify the excuse you give to your citizens. But hopefully that day will never come. And rest assured we won't fight against you either. Our alliance structure may be dead, but its spirit rides on friends. The comradery between us continues, and hopefully always will. But just know that our trust is in your hands to betray, and if your trust is in ours then rest assured it won't be thrown away. HAIL EDEN! HAIL BROTHERHOOD!
WE DON'T BETRAY! WE DON'T CORRUPT! WE FIGHT!

Strong words bro o7
We never left our single ally alone. We never will !
" Their veto was ignored. "
Still pushing this lie? I stopped reading there.
You're right. One of their Presidents said it's okay for Turkey to join. After that the process started and continued even though Bulgarians voted against in on the referendum.
Using a word from one CP who didn't have support from his people and base the future of the alliance on it sounds a bit risky and rude.
But that's why I understand both sides in this conflict. Neither Croatia or Bulgaria wasn't completely right about all they did. And that's exactly why eIreland stayed loyal to both, no matter what trollers says.
ahhhhhhhh so will say was not ignored? Come on stop with this.... we say no to them but they was still in the chanels and so on. How will say to this?
Ти още ли си жив, бе убитак?
I remember when Bulgaria's rights were suspended because we fought against that non EDEN member Romper is talking about 😃. It is worth mentioning that Turkey had indefinite trial membership which meant that they were members regardless if Bulgaria vetoes or not. Anyways, no point arguing about what happened. It was a long time ago and we learnt from it 🙂
Did Turkey have a vote in EDEN? That proves they were not a member. Your rights were suspended because you worked against alliance. One thing you refuse to accept is that you were not above others, you were one of the members and your ultimatums had no place in EDEN. You put your interest above EDEN and all other members which was Penix mentality and had no place in EDEN.
our CP say YES to TRIAL member. Not to full membership 😉
This is also true😁
I am talking about veto on full membership. Turkey didn't join because of that. But when Bulgaria wanted to make Turkey an enemy, EDEN told them that they do NOT dictate foreign policy to others and that alliance will not be blackmailed by them.
Then the months old plan to change sides was put in motion, Bulgaria signed ONE MPPs and left EDEN.
Even Serbs confirm this and brag about it.

I really don't know who are Bulgarians trying to convince in their version? Nobody wants them as allies because both sides know what they were doing back then.
The votes held about Turkey membership were a total joke, some few individuals were abusing their powers in order to bring in some shape or form Turkey in EDEN. Besides this by playing harsh against Bulgaria the EDEN HQ played the game of the few Bulgarians (Flausino) that really wanted to switch to the other side.
The Graverobber is not Flausino... and he wasn't acting on his own.
"Nobody wants them as allies because both sides know what they were doing back then. "
We have more friends than you , trust me...

That's Flausino but i think he quit , or at least he stopped training.
Beautiful words. o>

Bulgaria has never asked of Ireland to join an alliance or leave another behind, we have offered alternatives for Ireland if it chooses so and when we could we have always helped as we did with the peace treaty signed between Poland and Ireland when it became clear EDEN was not going to help, regardless of the situation on the ground at the time.
We stay loyal to our allies, and pay the price for it when we must.
It's a game, it costs nothing to have principles.
when I read "We stay loyal to our allies" I got diarrhea immediately.
Did you have a hard time digesting CROMANIA?
they could make snake venom antidote from your saliva
you're in bad mood Bulgaria? 😃

Why did CoT fall from "lack of damage" but EDEN from "lack of brotherhood"? o.O
I believe that the problems within EDEN, causing its collapse, were more internal than in the case of CoT. I cannot say with certainty though, as it's just what I've been told, I wasn't around at the time to witness it.
I see, did external forces hack the congress accounts of all the CoT countries who voted to leave?
[removed]
EDEN had the damage and was winning the alliance war yet fell from grace as it lost nation after nation due to it's HQ. CoT never had the damage to compete with TWO, and wasn't open enough and persistent enough to recruit ex-EDEN nations like TWO did. When TWO needed the damage to win, they brought in nations they shouldn't have which caused drama in the alliance. Only they ended their alliance before nations started leaving, as what happened with EDEN instead.
EDEN started losing members after a long time of CoTWO advantage in damage... Get your times straight.
CoT couldn't recruit anyone because nobody in EDEN wanted Bulgaria and still doesn't want Bulgaria as ally.
TWO ended because of internal power struggle, not because of new members. They all love their bonuses and having exEDEN there was welcomed by all. The fact that both Serbia and Loland wanted to run the show killed TWO.
Serbia's joining of TWO, after ONE dissolved and CTRL never established, was the big mistake of Spoland. After that, Serbia and their newer allies tried bringing in CUA, which Spain did not want. Every new member that joined TWO from EDEN took Serbia's side, which only Spoland were to blame there for letting in a nation as ambitious as they are. They didn't learn their lesson from CTRL, and still haven't learned their lesson.
EDEN started losing members after a long time unfair and unbalance of priorities of EDEN HQ.
Walk away, Romper... this isn't worth the hassle. My friend, you should save yourself from an unnecessary headache. You were right in your mail to me today. I walked away from all the diplomacy rigamarole today, and I feel better already. We are not worth your time and effort, at the moment.
I'm sorry, Romp. 😞
Let me put it simple. When EDEN fought TWO, CoT jumped in, attacked Turkey and Greece and helped TWO. When EDEN was fighting CoT, TWO was eating popcorn until CoT came crying for help. Then TWO would save them and remind them that they are nothing without TWO damage.
So EDEN vs TWO = losing.
EDEN vs CoT = winning until TWO started fighting.
Who would you fight with 30-40% of eWorld damage vs 60-70%?
About TWO falling apart, that was my point. It was internal power struggle. Once SLoland lost majority, they had no other option but to end the alliance. Or do you think countries pTOed by Serbia were allowed to vote because of their huge contribution? Serbia hijacked alliance with their satellites and SLoland refused to accept that.
But none of them objected the damage that exEDEN brought to the alliance.
I really should follow your advice Bhane...
Romper is trying to rewrite history again just so he's right.
There was no CoT when Bulgaria went to war with Turkey and Turkey was not part of EDEN. The infamous Greek president explaining to Bulgarian president you should not have believed me..... In fact there would be no CoT for another 2 and half moths after Greece and Romania both jumped in against Bulgaria in essence forcing it to sign MPPS with everyone else. Then Argentina as a brand new member would attack the small then country of Chile, all before there was CoT....
this is all history now, get over it and move on, the "traitor doctrine" just doesn't work.
you blame Bulgaria.... but you dont say a shit about Romania and Greece....
fuck logic.....
Something like Romania, Greece and Croatia having secret NAPs with Serbia and going berserk against Bulgaria leaving untouched Poland and Serbia.
Alessandro: "Croatia having secret NAPs with Serbia"
lol
Raven: If you really believe that then there's nothing to say.
When there was still CoTWO Indonesia was close to beat your a****s in India to force you to come back in Europe, but Serbia saved you because she was afraid about the bonuses and so they stopped Indonesia, Croatia bought very cheaply the Serbian strategy and strangely enough everytime your colonies in India were under threat you withdrew your forces from Europe meanwhile Romania, Greece and Turkey went full berserk against Macedonia and Bulgaria while the rest of EDEN members were wiped by Poland and Serbia. Thankfully enough that was the last bulls**t the "Brotherhood" had to offer.
I don't believe that about the private NAP with Serbia. Perhaps the others, but definitely not Serbia. 😛 But You can't deny that EDEN fell when nations started caring about resources, and were more focused on taking damage than giving it.
lol Principe, we RWed the region and cut off the border. That stopped Indo, you couldn't go over Thailand. What are you talking about?
There aren't proofs about this deal between Croatia and Serbia, instead it was demonstrated that Romania and Greece had this deals with Serbia, yet they never dared to return in Europe and never said a word against Romania, Greece and Turkey, who never tried to touch Serbia or Poland and instead went full berserk against Macedonia and Bulgaria just for their personal butt-hurts, I even dare to say that Croats enjoyed the situation more than others because still now Croatia is the exEDEN member most full of butt-hurt about Bulgaria.
Obviously we have different informations Romper, besides this how much more damage you need to w**e in order to get back in Europe?
