Why Asteria sucks part 1
Kevin Bartholomew
In this battle Sweden is defending it's only productive core region. It's a tw against Romania. We lost.
We lost because some enemy countries decided to fight for Romania. It happens.
In situations like this we should have an alliance that supports us. It didn't happen.
We fought single handily alone for our only productive core region and lost.
Where is Asteria? Where is Romania?
This also happend earlier in the battle
Why is the president of Romania trying to steal medal from Swedish players in Swedish TWs on the Swedish side?
I sent him a PM and he told me that Sweden should win. He knew it, so why didn't he help us later when many of his countrymen fought for Romania?
Asteria = clowns

So..
What other alliance, of any weight, would treat us better?
My impression is that all the bigger alliances has a great percentage of bullying asshats in their top layers.

I've been treated very well by people from CODE, there they help all countries like true friends.
Asteria on the other hand only wants us because it they want more gold.
They like you because you're fighting like a madman, anywhere at any time regardless of how it impacts other players, and they like that when it fits in to their plans
If you start hitting when it is not in line with their plans, I expect they would son start to treat you differently.
If you start hitting when it is not in line with their plans, I expect they would soon start to treat you differently.
False tho, done that too to test them but nice try 🙂
smaller or neutral alliances would definitely treat us better, tho.
hence why we should seek a third way, instead of being stuck into the big 2 rival alliances of the game.
Down with Plato!
Assteria was always like this, big countries don't care about allies, they use them and throw them away until the next time they are useful.
So, how do we builda strong alliance without involving some of the "bigger" countries?
So many things in fhis game is largely controlled, unfortunately, by how a few big players in Romania/Serbia/Croatia get along with eachother, (and with admin) at the moment.
And when their mood changes, the game changes. (With very little opportunity for the rest of us to havea lot of impact.)
Yea that’s true what you’re saying
Only because you won´t even try.
What power do they really have if their slaves join the other side? Less TW´s, more expensive fights etc.
Eventually their bars run out and they´ll be defenseless.
Buy a spine please!
ASTERIA = eImperialist Alliance of bullying leeches.
Down with ASTERIA, for an eInternacional AntieImperialist United Front!
well said, my friend!
Yeah it's true, this looks very bad. But still better than be Allied with eRussia tbh xD
while i support peace and im against irl russia's evil plans, we shouldnt mix irl events with the e-version of russia in erepublik.
asteria is bad for e-sweden, and we should seek a different path, imho.
Turnbeutel doesn't seem to be able to keep them apart.
He has truly fallen for all the propaganda.
Look at eRussia and ask yourself who mixed rl with the game. A nation openly have Pro Putin Profil Pics, symbols and characteristics of this Pro War stuff and only stopped to post their war bs only when they got reported massively shows enough evidence. Why I should give them the distance ? No, they behavior like our enemy and they simple are. No reason to be friendly to them either accepting them as potential partner or anything in this direction.
You say all of them did but that's another lie you keep using.
You still support Ukraine even tho their leader wanted this war.
Being against the war is one thing but stop being a hypocrite...
@turnbeutel : again, you shouldnt use false analogies in a game.
yes, im against war, and i hate irl russias evil plans, BUT, we should never mix irl events with the e-version of a nation in erepublik. (a game, mind you!)
i should state again that irl russia and erepublik's e-russia are two different things, despite some troll posts here and there.
with that being said, if i use your own morals to hate e-nations based on their irl nations acts of war,
should i also hate e-germany for them being nazis and criminals?
should i hate e-USA for their role in wars in iraq, afghanistan, libya and in yugoslavia?
or is this passionate hate selective only on some very special cases?
Why even bother with alliances... many smaller eCountries doesnt even officially belong in the big two.
[removed]
wisely said!
we should either belong to a neutral alliance, or to become independent.
also nice article. waiting eagerly for part 2.
very good article, mr kevin!
you raise some very important points.
and imho, we should either belong to a neutral alliance, or to become independent.
I respectfully disagree but I'll revisit that later.
Who are your alliance representatives?
Don't, it's just some trolls we got.
Therein lies your problem. People are never just some trolls. Do better, zzzingo
@rainy sunday : as e-sweden, we belong in asteria, but they treat us like lesser citizens, to put it mildly.
we are ignored and as you can see by the TW linked above, they dont really care about our region balances/TW agreements either...
hence why i often prefer an e-nation to be either in a smaller alliance, in a neutral alliance, or to be independent.
joining the big two alliances, wont solve anything, and we would be their slaves at worst, or a limited vassal at best.
as for zzzingo's insulting behaviour +his generalizations, i wouldnt expect anything less from a rude person like him.
Chris, I don't believe the alliance is your problem. I believe it's your leadership.
What?
Zingo, honestly what do you say about romania's CP trying to steal a medal from me? Is it okay?
Why is no Romanian and basically no allied helping us?
Stop calling us trolls and answer questions instead.
Ask I asked in the Swedish fee😛 are we going to get beaten? Are we going to get help?
Swedish president answers: yes.
Sweden in a nutshell.
You are "just a troll"
You wouldn't know 😏
At least I like your profile pic
The act of France here is just a response on your airstrike on our core.
You take the decision to attack a country Georgia which wasn t hostile. A country wich have only one region and have 0 power in military.
U take the decision to annihilate a community on your own decision or on others orders. They have right now 0 regions.
I dont appreciate this kind of act in general. Attack our core or a small country without defense acting without offense.
Nobody ask me to do it but it s normal for me.
I fight with friends not for friends.
If i launch a airstrike. I launch it with my proper willing.
I have strictly nothing against Sweden which is a beatifull country but i have problems with their act right now.
Baguette
xD
Faire des remarques et désigner les autres comme coupables n'est qu'une mauvaise excuse. À la fin de la journée, vous êtes alliés à la Russie et vous les aidez dans tous les combats.
Russia is in CODE, normal than we defend it.
I think you don't make difference between reality and game.
You can wipe all country in the eWorld then. All country have done some trouble - war IRL in the past. ( Germany for example...? )
1. there’s a difference between today and the past. And also how the past get handled.
2. anyway: I looked threw eRussia, and I saw how this guys act, how they started their spam action one year ago and all this. You can’t deny that most of them secretly / openly support the things which happens in RL. So what’s that ? Also there’s is a difference, would you prefer a eNation with citizens who thinks that rl war crimes ok ?
Just tell me that you CODE guys hadn’t any situation into your chat channels where you won’t felt uncomfy because of their opinions.
3. they won’t differ, so I don’t.
Why past if different of the fact today. Some acts of the past are worse thant this today...
We don't speak about reality in Russia. We speak about the game only because we play a game.
This is simple lol
Yeah you’re it’s a game. So I can decide who I like or not for myself. I looked at same nations and come to the point that most of them are okay. But only one especially not. And again I come to the point that their view from real life won’t qualify them for myself to somehow be connected with them. Simple in my views.
You decided to be allied with them. Either you’re just opportunistic in this game and ignore everything else or you agree with them. Sooo …
Btw your argument of the past is just a whataboutism argument. No one said the past was in any case okay. But still the last shouldn’t be an argument that the today actions can be accepted
@Turnbeutel : what hell the great wants to say to you, is that, e-countries (this game) and irl countries are two very different things.
e-france and CODE dont support the irl actions of an irl nation, but they simply add an e-nation in their ranks thats very different from irl.
(meaning that irl russia and erepublik's e-russia are two different things, despite some troll posts here and there)
with that being said, if i use your own morals to hate e-nations based on their irl nations acts of war,
should i also hate e-germany for them being nazis and criminals?
should i hate e-USA for their role in wars in iraq, afghanistan, libya and in yugoslavia?
or is this passionate hate selective only on some very special cases?
@Hell The Great : mr Hell The Great, i completely understand your point of view, and i do feel that irl russia and e-russia of erepublik are two very different things.
noone should mix this game with irl, if you ask me.
This isnt about france's actions though - thats fine as stated, but its about Romania's who are supposed to be our allies...
The article not, but we can still dispute, why not ?
What?
