Status opinion poll: To merge or not to merge, that's the question...
•
by A Red Star
Have you ever wondered, how many articles started with "To (...) or not to (...), that's the question" over time?! Really, the amount must be huge. Don't people have some creativity and inspiration of their own? (I know I didn't have any at the moment, which kinda explains the title.)
Merger eUK and eUNL?
You have all seen the articles, discussions, comments, shouts, topics, etc. about a possible merge between the eUK and the eUNL. All kind of pros and cons have been mentioned. So what is the current status? How do people feel about it?
Well, as you know, the Ministry of Spam values high reliability of their news articles. Only things that are doubled checked and not biased at all are published. (Well, maybe a few exceptions might occur...) Anyway, that's why we publish the current status of a poll, initiated to get the votes of the eUNL citizens.
Have you voted already? No? Don't be worried, you can still vote on http://www.enetherlands.nl/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3893! (I assume you have already registered at the eUNL forum if you are an eUNL citizen? It easy, fast, free, etc...)
Current status
After somewhat more than 12 hours - with a total of 34 votes - the poll can still go either way. Almost the same number of people support it as the amount that opposes it. Even the amount of strong supported is almost equal to the amount of strong opposers.
If everything goes on, and the binding referendum will be held, it looks like the people who have not made their mind up yet - or not fully made up their mind - will determine the outcome.
YOU will make the difference. Have you made up your mind yet?

... well, that comment was spam; so can't blame you for putting it at the Ministry of Spam. Hope you also voted, though 😛
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also calls upon citizens to vote here!
I think u might have piced a better picture 😛
SPAM comment ~! 😃
Voted on the poll and the article 🙂
That's not a bad picture😁. Even if KRavenn's one is better.
You stole my artice title.... in gonna sue 😛
Can we stop calling it a 'merger' it's more like a friendly take-over. A merge is more something done between equals, which we are not.

That poll is not a binding poll... I leave it in the MoHA forum to see what people think, but even the ministry of spam should not spread false intentions. Regardless of that polls outcome it is NOT the official referendum regarding this potential merger.
No worries Steingrimur Illugi, the article is clear about that:
"If everything goes on, and the binding referendum will be held, it looks like the people who have not made their mind up yet - or not fully made up their mind - will determine the outcome."
way more NO voters since this article was published
actually the sentiments are pretty much tied 🙂
It's weird but I can't even see that thread. When I try to access that link I get a message that I don't have the proper permissions.
So I'll vent overhere instead. 🙂
I'm an absolute noob at this game but I am missing reasons to merge with eUK. All I read is that we would have more population, stronger economy, etc.
But isn't the goal of this game to have fun? And I rather have fun with people I share a culture with and where all merging parties are equal partners. eUK is much bigger than we are, it would be a take-over. Our voice would disappear and we would be a province of the eUK empire.
Sure, the eUK would be bigger, more powerfull and richer. But that is not why I joined eUNL. If I wanted to play in such a country I could simply join one of the bigger nations, heck possibly even Poland. I joined eUNL because I like the idea of playing with people who come from the same parts of this big planet, with roughly the same cultural background. After playing for more than 10 years in online games that were usually international based (does anyone here remember Earth2025 started by Mehul Patel in 1997 or something?) I find it refreshing to play in an environment where there are Belgian and Dutch people. Frankly, I love it.
So I see no advantages in this merger yet I do see disadvantages. And I am merely using my gaming fun as a reference, not the power of eUNL vs eUK.
I vote no but I can't access the posted link. I get a message about not having the proper permissions.
But I posted my motivation on the discussion thread.
Jofel,
My guess would be that you have not requested yet all rights on the forum.

Good luck, and let me know if it still doesn't work!
Why do we need to work for a Union with Netherlands more than a Union with UK?
If there are good reason to stay with netherlands, there are good reason to go with UK. With or without Netherlands... (if you want to keep you dying economi... keep it... alone!)
