Waiting For War
Kara Zor El
I've been thinking about this upcoming world war with eager anticipation. Am I wrong to feel this way? The last time a major conflict took place for eUSA was Day 541. I was not yet a citizen of the eRep community. I've been reluctant to speak on matters I know little about. Fellow citizens are ready to shoot you down whenever you are wrong. So, what I do know is how I feel about things.
It seems to me that PEACE supporters look at this game like RISK. They believe they can just dominate the world through superior force. I recognize that this game doesn't promote that strategy as viable. It is fun, though, to see someone try and fail. I say, if you want to play RISK, I 'm sure you can find it online or buy the game.
I enjoy reading the propaganda. The articles contain one point of view, while the comments refute it.
It allows me both sides of the story. What I wonder is why the propaganda articles get over 900 votes and the pro eUSA articles can't compete. Are we that unorganized? Do we have our own propaganda machine? Their tactics are effective in this regard. Why can't we do better?
So, between the propaganda and the anticipation of war, I'm excited. I love it when they threaten us. They tell you when they're coming too. I love the responses to these threats. It makes the game more interesting. It gets the newbies asking questions. It stimulates the economy. It stimulates conversation.
I have heard so much about our MPP's. I've heard how formidable our defense will be because of them. We get a chance to see in action what has only been spoken of. We've never been attacked on homeland, I believe. We get to find out who's really on our side. We know that the eUK is definitely not.
The eUk had a choice. They could either be attacked and lose territory or rollover and give it up. They rolled over and, as a reward, received a Q5 hospital. That just burns my britches. I'd like to believe that we would come to their aid if they asked. Are they that spineless? Now they're a target.
I know there are people who want revenge.
I was thinking about the possibilities that exist. One possibility is that we may have some territory overtaken. This would give someone an opportunity to start a resistance war, would it not? Here in eUSA that option is not available to us. Am I wrong?
So I ask you, reader. Would you rather sit around, like usual, and wait for the next war game. Or do you treasure these moments of conflict and anticipation? Am I wrong to welcome world war? Am I naive to believe we can survive this? What do you think?

Bring it..
I've read about some PEACE strategies through their forums or their presidents articles. It was interesting and they have a great strategy.
But, I'm sure that our country will stand strong fighting that PEACE. Our country's strategy is greater than them.
Can't wait for the 'real' war. 😃
Great article. It brings a different perspective to this annoying waiting game. I still have half-feelings about PEACE actually attacking us though.. I don't think it'll happen, but if it does, they have a big chance to win.
I really wish we had the UK's support. They would have been a great ally. I just hope that they aren't our enemy now.
I agree. War games are an abomination and nothing more than gamenship. Let's have a real fight that they will still be talking about in day 1000...
Embargo the UK now. They have committed an act of war against us by colluding in the PEACE move to the borders of North America.
We'll remember this perfidy.
The plan is to embargo later, then after all this subsides, we repay the favor.
BRING IT PEACE. LONG LIVE USA. DOWN WITH UK AND PEACE.
Voted and subbed. Great article!
No, it's not wrong to feel amped when faced with conflict. But *starting* a conflict for little more than "LOLZ ITS A WOR GAIM U MORANS", is. As a native Scotsman, it pains me to say this... but screw the eUK.
I doesn't afraid of anything.
Bring it on eHungary.
Bring on PEACE.
It just started.....
I feel the same as you, I love battles with words as much as normal battles. I would say that in a game like this, there is no problem with welcoming world war. IRL though, my ideas are a little different 😉
I believe the eUS has a very good chance of surviving this, like Nero I have seen/heard what PEACE's strategy is and I can honestly say it will fail. I agree with you Kara when you say they are playing this like RISK. There is less strategy and more "let's hope we get lucky" involved here.
Btw, if anyone wants to find RISK online. Use http://www.conquerclub.com/index.php?ref=109701" target="_blank">http://www.conquerclub.com/index.php?ref[..]9701
