the new eUSA War Games
scrabman
The eUSA will be starting new war games this week with many of our friends and allies. Stay tuned for more details.
We have signed a Treaty with Ireland and will be getting some War Games underway soon. The War Games will involve Ireland attacking Rhode Island several times per week while we and our allies repulse the attack.

As word gets around more countries are getting on board to defray the costs of these war games. The initial cost will be 300 gold for a war declaration against the eUSA and subsequent battles will cost around 65 gold. The more of this cost we defray, especially the initial cost, the better it is for all of us.
So far we have nearly a dozen countries who have expressed an interest and are hoping to get agreements with them about contributing to the costs before moving forward. Expect them to come later this week and expect these war games to raise our level of prominence within the world as we will have more opportunities to fight in real wars through MPPs with new nations that are in areas of the world where these real battles are taking place.
I'm sure that the many Americans who enjoyed and benefited from the last War Games will not be disappointed by new ones nor will they see them as a campaign ploy. I've talked about these for weeks and now that we've closed operations in Mexico it's time to move on. I have to thank Harrison Richardson and Equality 7-2521 for their help in devising and making this project come together.
Update: Ireland has now proposed War in their Congress. Within 24 hours we should have a war declaration and be ready to begin. There are still some details to be worked out with who needs to do the first attack as Ireland has a Treaty with the UK ... but we're working on those details and have plenty of time.
Stay tuned for more details and I will update this message as needed.

Sweeeeeet. Can it be today so we can all get our damage in?
Not with friends and allies but foes and their allies.
I want a region swap with Canada... give us some Diamonds!
@ Uncle Sam: That would make excellent sense. It would give us one of the two resources we don't have high access to. The biggest obstacle will be convincing the eAmericans to give up a region. It seems to me (and I could be mistaken) that we are pretty attached to all 50 of our states, and might not want to give one up. Then again, it's the eCanucks, so they might be convinced after all.
is this real? or just a ploy for votes?
Oh dbuck you're such a hater. I haven't done anything for votes in weeks. I've been too busy running the county as THE PRESIDENT to worry about crap like that.
If you want diamonds hit up Russia for your fix.
high diamonds in eastern siberia...right around the corner...

lol
Also lol at Peace's massive wargames collaboration: http://www.erepublik.com/en/forum/topic/95827/clauses-for-the-execution-of-training-war-between-multiple-entities/1" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/forum/topic/[..]es/1
They've been working on this one for a while, and I'm glad to see it's finally put together. Kind of puts scrabman's promise for "something big...." in perspective. At any rate, it's a great example of allies working together to actually achieve something, unlike our pathetic embargoes. For god's sake.
Thanks for the update Scrab -- we can't wait!
Thanks Scrab. Don't pay attention to the desenters. We need war games and your doing a fine job getting them to us.
In Ireland. Read the contract.
*dissenters
Looking forward to some much needed War Games in Ireland. See you all on the field.
The contract suggests that Ireland will attack Rhode Island.
Is it me or does it seem more and more that Emerick is toting the PEACE propaganda line? Just a view and question from one of the little people that reads things.
Scrabman, waiting for the war games, thanks.
You suck 😉
I want some real war. I'm moving to Romania.
bread and circuses
@ Uncle Sam - I like that proposal. I think the citizens of the state to be traded might have the hardest time but it seems much more reasonable then any other suggestion I have heard to solve the diamond problem.
I smell campaign ploy
Yea that would be great if the eUSA swaped a state for a high diamond region...
He-he, after a failed attempt at invading eRussia scrabman gives you more war-games. Which actually is the next best thing to a real war - if you can't be of help in the world wars at least you can have the ersatz version, it's good training and great for the economy! scrabman IS the best president you've had for months despite having no foreign policy of his own.
Part of the reason why I told almost no one about this plan when I came up with 2 months ago is because I wanted to ensure that Atlantis could implement before Peace. Hopefully we can work to get ours implemented at least at the same time, now.
To the rest of America, you are welcome. The official term for this plan is "The Eq Plan" btw. Peace should give me some credit and quit pretending like they've been working on this before I came up with it.
Ya know, Rhode Island was settled by a large number of Portuguese...
It would have made more sense for the Irish to invade Boston Mass.
And then there's Alaska and Kamchatka...
YES! Voted. I'm ready for more fighting.
so what happened to the "massive" thing that you were warning us about? You say you aren't vote mongering, but what's with the whole chicken little act that now conveniently gets swept under the rug?
It doesn't make much sense to launch a campaign ploy the day of the election now does it? This thing won't even see it's first battle until later this week and whoever the President is can take care of it.
Also, who says the War Games aren't the big thing. We've been planning them for 2 weeks.
If the war games are the big thing then your administration is more pathetic than previously imagined.
ready, boss!
Nice, we need some fun around here.
You gotta be kidding me! This is the great secret. I knew this was in the works two weeks ago when Scabman implied something like this. I thought we were going to start getting aggressive in this game instead of continuing to pussyfoot around.
Three cheers for the EQ plan.
I spend 10 gold on weapons for war games..>.>
However, how will this affect Romanias current war status? We wouldn't want to be attracting more of their noob fights that could go to more important fights
spent*
We thought we were going to be going to war Chisholm. It didn't work out that way. I'm sorry for your purchase of the weapons. I bought a bunch too.
Pfft, Whatever Sprout. Training wars for the win! I am stoked I can get back to 100 Wellness again. 😃
We have to take the good with the bad, this weekend was a fiasco. Peace preempted our plan it appears. However, securing our Mexican border and the proposed war games are a good thing.
Wait for it... wait for it... wait for it... pffffffffffft! Thank the stars I didn't waste my entire weekend behind the computer lol.
I wish the democrats had elected Equality instead of our idiot Dannie who has done NOTHING! since winning
Bah we should just take Ireland for real. 🙂
I don't think this is a good idea until the Rhode Islanders of Portuguese descent are safely in "protective custody".
Call it the Korematsu Plan...
Maybe this is just me, but why don't we open a battlefield with one of the countries we're already at war with? Just communicate with them that it's only a war game.
Very Interesting.
Oh, and Emerick: Excellent ball-busting, sir.
The trolls worry about your articles Mr. President. If it were not so, they would not flock to them like flies swarm around a cow pie.
Why not a real war? Kick Portugal out of Mexico!!
Wohoo, I can move back to eIreland... At last some war games... 🙂
Scrabman is the best president I have ever seen since I'm playing eRepublik.
